  best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive

  If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.

  If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

  ·         To change the owner to a user or group that appears in the area of change of ownership to , click the new owner.

  4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects .

  5. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

  You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder_name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

  All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes .

• 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

• Catalogue of confusion after the removal of the photos on external hard drive. [was: help!]

  I tried to be smart and I bought an external hardrive to free up some space on my laptop.  I transferred all my photos to the hardrive thought that I would be able to work on these photos in lightroom, as long as I had the hard drive plugged into my laptop.  Well this is not the case apparently.  So I imported all the photos into lightroom from the hard drive.  With the hard drive plugged into the laptop I can access all my pictures, but the catalogs that I was editing have lost all their changes.  I tried to open the backup lightroom from yesterday, and nothing happens.  If I select one of my catalogs that none of the images are there, he also says missing photos.  So I tried to locate all missing photos, and nothing happened.  All the photos are in lightroom, they appear in the library under the external hardrive.  But I can't shoot in my catalogs and cannot roll back changes to the photos I was editing when I put all my photos on the external hard drive.

  Hi Amanda,.

  You get the workflow a bit confused here. It is hard to follow all of the steps you took, but I will try to explain the correct procedure.

  1. you have a Lightroom Catalog and all images in the catalog pointing to a location on the internal drive (ideally, it would be a series of folders under the folder of a high level, to make it easier to step 3 below).

  2. copy the image of folders containing images of the Interior on the external drive. You now have two copies of your images.

  3. open Lightroom and you should see all your images again. Open the files Panel and right-click on the top-level folder that contains all the image files (this is where a single top-level folder is priceless). Choose 'location of folder update... »

  4. navigate to the top level on the external drive folder and choose that. Your Lightroom Catalog is now oriented to the external hard drive.

  At this point, you can go on using Lightroom normally. You can copy, move or delete the images of your internal drive, because Lightroom is their use is no longer.

  Note that in step 3 above, if all your image files are not contained in a single top-level folder, you will need to repeat steps 3 and 4 several times, once for each top-level folder.

• Cannot select pictures library to external hard drive for apple tv

• Cannot connect remotely to an external hard drive on iMac

  I have trouble connecting to remote a Macbook (10.10.5) of an external HARD drive mounted which is connected to an iMac (Mac OS X 10.10.5.) The iMac is connected to the internet via an airport express base station 7.6.4.

  I created an account of sharing only to connect to this drive and I've had no success connecting to it outside the local network of this external hard drive.

  Because the Terminal airport express base station is involved, y at - it sort of port forwarding for connect to this hard drive mounting?

  I've only tried to plug the hard disk via finder > go > connect to server > name.local/locationOfExternalHarddrive of the computer and have had no success so I think the explicit base station is the question?

  Any advice is greatly appreciated!

  I've only tried to plug the hard disk via finder > go > connect to server > computer name.local/locationOfExternalHarddrive

  This is assuming you have CCMM configuration and working properly... without it, Wan, there is no way that the computer can find computername.local

  You need the public IP address of the router... and there may be only a single router. Normally, it is not possible to use IP because it is dynamic, with a home ISP accounts then you must configure the global DNS name or a dynamic DNS account.

  Please read Tesserax doco on remote... the best method is Apple CCMM.

  Airport drive - remote (3 methods)

  A simpler method in my humble OPINION is teamviewer... same as Apple CCMM without as many restrictions.

  Any method of remote access requires a careful configuration of the home network. And the Mac must be able to wake on lan... (apple have their own fancy name for it).
