• Backup on external hard drive problems...

  I can't backup to external hard drive, it starts and does not say "Device not ready" then I tried to back up my laptop outside even hard without any problem. Could it be, if I tried a different USB port on my desktop external hard disk... Any other ideas please...

  Concerning

  Have you tried another USB port (your post is unclear)?

  The external hard drive has its own power supply or just connect with a USB cable?  If there is no separate power supply, disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and see if that helps.

  The external drive shows in my computer?  If so, what happens when you double-click it?

  Don't show external drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If so, a drive letter is assigned? If so, what is reported to the layout, Type, file system and status?

  Only the external drive shows in Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to the title of "hard disks"?  If Yes, what is displayed when you double-click on and look at 'Device status' and 'Use of the device' in the general tab?

• Backup on external hard drive .dng files

  I bought an external hard drive Western Digital My Book Essential strongly recommended to backup image files, and then it was discovered that the WD software does not support the .dng files.  Is it possible to move files from .dng WD software and backup on the external drive WD?  I use PS CS5.1, version 12.1 x 32 on a PC running Windows XP professional.

  The backup software should allow you to select all files, instead of a filtered list. But having said that, if she did not, then you could easily just use windows Explorer and drag the files yourself. Using a backup drive software is just for convience to make it easier on the owner for the backup files. It is not necessary to access the drive. As I said, you can use windows Explorer, or you could use the backup software provided with windows and let a backup completes, if the drive is big enough. So, you have options.

• Backup to external hard drive on iCloud &gt; &gt; used internal hard disk space

  Is there a way to backup disks external hard on iCloud without iCloud with disk space hard internal iMac?

  I tried an external hard drive to backup to iCloud and although it does not copy in iCloud. It also eliminates the same amount of available space on the hard drive of my iMac.

  Does this mean that iCloud only backs up files on an internal drive so it copies them from external drives to the internal main? Is this a problem external disk hard/iCloud? Is it possible to set this up properly?

  The files are logical X. This could be a logic X / question iCloud? I know the hype for iCloud said any file, but no logic X icon in the system preferences iCloud box. Set to true any file ?

  Thanks for any information you have.

  Data in iCloud cannot synchronize from an external hard drive.

  iCloud does not synchronize data from logic X.

• backup to external hard drive, removal of the movies on computer?

  I want to know if I got back to the top of my itunes library on an external hard drive I can remove my itunes on my computer movies to save space on this subject? It is my friends computer and I don't want to take up space. And then I still see them on my apple TV if the movies are not on my internal hard drive?

  I am new to this and I wanted to know if my apple tv can stream after I deleted movies from my computer? I have no idea how it works, as far as I know I need to get back to the top of my purchases...

  Backup and deletion are not back up. Backup is always to have two copies of everything, preferably on completely separate players in different locations.

  In order to play something through iTunes, it must be added to iTunes.  You can add files from a separate iTunes drive and make them stay on the player by holding down the option key while adding, but there may be painful to see broken links if the drive is not attached when using iTunes constantly.

  You can listen to an AppleTV iCloud films apparently, but I can't provide details.  This should work for you, unless it's one of those elements is no longer in the Apple Store (and your reason to always make sure that you have a copy on your hard disks).

• How to restore my backup on external hard drive system

  I did a windows image backup of my Vista system on a Seagate external hard drive. Now I want to restore my system from the backup, but restore in control panel procedures does not recognize the files. Version of Vista professional, Service Pack 2. I tried Virtual PC, and vhd mounting procedures.

  Hello

  read this tutorial on how to do

  To restore a full backup of the computer, you must proceed within the Windows recovery environment. To access the Windows recovery environment, you will need to insert your Vista DVD in the DVD drive on your computer and turn on your computer. The computer starts and you see the BIOS lists the hardware on your computer, and other information. When this information has been disabled, your computer will see that a bootable DVD is inserted and present a prompt similar to the Figure 1 below.

  My computer C drive is currently using 141 GB of space.  My external hard drive TB free 2.29 a.  I don't know what or why he wants me to delete.  Help?

  Hello

  To identify the problem, try emptying the trash from the PC and the external hard drive. In addition, check the type of files you want to back up. Make sure that the file format is supported by your external hard drive. It would be better to list the model of your external hard drive to your answer.

  We will wait for her.

  Cannot back up the external hard drive "snapshot could not be created, please check the VSS application log and the PSP" "details - the shadow copy provider had an error" error code «ox81000019» I want to buy a new laptop, but how can I transfer all of the existing computer if I can't do a backup?

  As you go only to transfer data from one to the other files, here's a good option...

  Remove the old hard drive and connect it on the new computer using a USB to SATA connector like this...

  It is a very useful device to have some kicking around when you need to get data on a drive that does more boot.

  You must get permission to access folders on the old disk to the new computer and this is how you do it.

  Download the zip on the site below...

  .. and it is there that find the link to the zip on the site...

  

  When you run the zip file, it places a new item in the right click menu called 'Take Ownership'

  To use it, you highlight the file or the folder on which you want the property, right click and select take ownership.

  Then a window will appear and many data authorizations through pretty quickly. When permissions have been granted, the window will close and you will be able to easily access data in the file or the first selected folder...

• Impossible to change the location of backup to external hard drive

  * Original title: backup location

  I need to change the location of backup on an external hard drive (I).  When I go into Control Panel, backup and support, it seems that the location is currently (D).  To change this, I select 'change settings '.  Then, the computer opens a new window for "Set up Backup" and begins to launch.  However, whenever I try to do the answer comes back that the computer is unable to start the program because of the error (0 x 80080005) of running the server.  I don't know what to do from here.  Can anyone offer any guidance?  Thank you.

  Hi Janis,

   
  The probable cause of this problem could arise from the security of the software interrupt services to change backup settings.
   
  I suggest you follow the methods below and check if it helps:
   
  Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to change the backup location.
  Reference: turn off the antivirus software

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/disable-antivirus-software#1TC=Windows-7

  Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If Mode 1 has not resolved the issue try MOde 2 which follows below:

   
  Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to change the location of backup on your external hard drive again:
