• 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?

• can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

  I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

  You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• I can't erase my external hard drive as my Mac told me!

  I have a Fantom external hard drive 1 TB which is my drive Time Machine for years.  Sometimes it disconnects itself, but it has reconnected always very well.  But today as I got an error message that says that the drive could not be fixed by disk utility and would not appear as a disk in the Finder.  Utility disk SEES the drive but can't get it cannot eject it and can't fix it.  I'm ok with totally annihilate and nine.  She had backups, and I can easily do a new backup at any time.  The problem is that the disk utility will not mount it so I can delete it, but when I try just to erase, it cannot do without mount everything first!  I'm in this catch-22: How can I wipe the drive and start over when disk utility can't do?  It also will not mount on my Windows laptop, so I can't wipe it clean there either, reformat it on my Mac.  Anyone have an idea how I can just wipe my own drive so that I can use it on my Mac again?

  UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POSTER:

  I was finally able to remedy using Terminal Server by following the instructions described here:

  http://Apple.StackExchange.com/a/105674

  It reads in part:

  You can force unmount a disk by running the following command in Terminal:

  diskutil unmountDisk force /Volumes/VOLUMENAME 

  ^{Replace VOLUMENAME by the name of a volume on the disk that you are trying to take it apart.}

  I had first to use "diskutil list" first to find out what the Mac called this external hard drive because it was RECOGNIZED but would not mount or dismount.  Instead of using "/ Volumes/VOLUMENAME", my Mac called the drive in question "/ dev/disk2.  My full order was "diskutil unmountDisk force/dev/disk2".

  It worked immediately, and then disk utility was very quickly able to erase the disc.  Once erased, he mounted again very well!  So if anyone has the same problem, try this!

• 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).

• Email Backup on external hard drive

  When I try to export my email on an external hard drive for backup purposes, I get a message "the message export has failed. Help?

  What registry fix program? I reread the article and didn't see any registry fix program there.  The export procedure is quite simple.  At what point is there fault and what is the height or doesn't happen when it breaks down?  You get the error messages - if yes, what is the EXACT text?

  BTW, this article contains instructions on how to backup everything (your settings as well as your e-mails) which will facilitate the recovery if it comes to that.  Maybe you would try instead this backup of ob miethod instead of article that I provided before was only for emails themselves. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/62560-windows-mail-problems.html.

  Anyway, please tell me what is wrong and where it goes wrong that I can see if I can find the cause.  It may be that you need to do the initial export on your hard drive and then move this folder on the external drive - I'm not sure (in which case it is where you are running problems).

  I have lookk forward to your response.

  Good luck!

• Save the backup on external hard drive

  I was keeping my backup on my external hard drive from Seagate.  But now my Seagate doesn't appear in my computer drive D: and e: no, what do I do? and how to correct for the Seagate external shows up as E: did know my PC that the Seagate is my hard drive?

  Possibly a flash stick had taken D at the time and hit Seagate to E?

  You can always go back and change it, follow these steps for the drive - letter add, change or remove

  It is not really important, unless he screwed up somehow the configuration of your hard drive, which I doubt.

• 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:
