• How to move files on external hard drive for Macbook Air (El Capitan)

  Hello.

  I bought a new macbook air last week. I've been moving files from my old laptop via my hard drive (my ultra 1 TB WD Passport). I was able to move the correct files on the drive, but now I want to move photos and videos to my Macbook, but it won't allow me. It shows a circle of gray with a line through it, when I try to drag the file on the disk. Photos and videos are in the documents in the finder not in the photo library, I don't know if that makes a difference.

  Any help will be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Ann

  I solved this problem and am running.

  I realized at some point a year ago or so, I did try and migrate directly into CS3 from my other laptop and it would not run on AIr. I don't sue him right there. I tried to uninstall all files with the Adobe uninstaller utility, but nothing happened. So I just trashed all records. I also ran CS5 Cleaner, on the traces of CS3 just for the hell of it.

  Tried again to install directly from the disc via cd player external and viola, work like its supposed to. I suspect all the downloads that I had set earlier would have worked had I trashed all the CS3 files earlier on the airwaves. Thank you.

• Anyone have links the Bootcamp Driver for Macbook Air 15 inches (early 2014)

  I just downloaded and installed windows via bootcamp 10.
  I used the wrong drivers when I installed it and I can't download it from bootcamp itself due to errors of system and the internet.
  So I need drivers for windows 10.
  If someone has the drivers installed on their computer now, or the files for them, if you could please link me to them (upload to mediafire or another host may.)

  
  

  
  

  On a side; note It seems that all drivers are working perfectly fine (for example the drivers from the internet), yet the Apple that will be.

  My trackpad will allow only my cursor across the screen and left click and my keyboard integrated special functions (i.e. keyboard lighting, volume buttons, screen brightness, forward backward to pause/play)

• What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

  • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
  • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
  • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

  I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

  Thank you

  Brian

  older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

  the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

  I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

• Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

  Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

  1 mac OS extended (journaled)

  2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

  3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

  4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

  See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

  When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

• Migrated my external drive for 'Photos' photographs - after a month of success now unable to access them. No idea why?

  My computer tells me I have migrated my photos from an external drive for 'Photo', but in 'Photo', I can only find 4 pictures that are on my internal drive. Any ideas? I was able to access the photos a month in "Photo".

  Thank you

  Bruce

  Nope - we can't see you, so you must provide details for assistance

  What has changed since it worked?

  If you launch pictures while holding the option key, you get a window select Library - check every library here and I hope that you find the right pair

• External housing for disk for Macbook Air

  I use my Macbook Air to 2015 and wants to connect the hard drive of my Macbook Air of 2012 as an external drive. Both drives work on OSx Yosemite.

  I want hot swap capabilities and a USB or Thunderbolt 3.0 connection which doubles as the power source. Can anyone recommend a compatible, affordable and easy to use external HARD drive enclosure?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

• Please recommend what to look for in an external drive for my Macbook Pro

  I don't have a lot of data, but I'm a writer and want a back up of novels and photos and photo projects. Can someone knowledgeable tell me what to look for in an external drive? I said to get one with a fan, but have seen highly recommended to those without a fan.

  Thanks in advance,

  NanaCA

  If portability is a requirement, such as this storage drives will do:

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/FireWire/on-the-go

  If the HARD disk will live on the desktop all the time, your choice increases.  Here are a few more examples (and there are more):

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/FireWire/EliteALmini/eSATA-FW800-FW400-USB

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/FireWire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB

  The fans are not always essential if the design of the enclosure is made correctly.

  There are many publishers and other options are available, but OWC is a good seller with excellent customer support.

  Note that anything that is stored on a disk external HARD must also be safeguarded if the data has the value.

  Ciao.

• I could install a copy of Windows (via Boot Camp) on my external drive for Time Machine without erasing my backups?

  I want to use Windows 10 (for games) on my 2013 MacBook Air (13 ", 128GB flash, 1.3 GHz Intel i5, 4 GB of RAM), but I want to install it on my external hard drive because I am almost out of space SSD (34 GB remaining), and I know how large windows is. I have an external 1 TB harddrive that I use for my backups Time Machine, and I was wondering if I could transfer my copy of Windows hard disk external and implemented via Boot Camp. Is there a way to partition my drive so that my backup and Windows can both be there? And is there a way to trick Windows in race (start) from the external hard drive?

  Lol as the second partition on the boot volume. None of the other partitions will be allowed thereafter.
