Cannot transfer files to the new WD passport external HD

I have a new ultra external hardrive WD passport.  This is in addition to one I already like my time machine and another that I like a return to the top of this.  Since then, I bought a 3rd to save some external files, my iMac and one of my hardrives.  However, it will not let me copy & paste or click and drag anything from the iMac or the external hardrive to the new external hardrive.  Can anyone tell me why and especially what to do to overcome this problem pls?

How it is formatted?

    How to transfer files from the current user to a user name

    Is that what you really want to do and why?

    In particular, you want to create a user account completely new to replace an old account may be corrupt, or you want to just copy some files?

    If you want to copy the user profile, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-corrupted-user-profile#1TC=windows-7

    If you just want to copy files from the ALICE user to user BOB,

    1. Connect you as a user with "Computer administrator" privileges (this could be ALICE, BOB or another account)
    2. Go to C:\Users\Alice\Documents, right click on desired folders or files and select copy
    3. Go to C:\Users\Bob\Documents and paste files or folders you copies

    Always use 'Copy' rather than 'move '.  After you have determined that the files were copied successfully to their new location, you can go back and delete them from the old location.

    For other than documents files, replace

    C:\Users\\Music

    C:\Users\\Pictures

    C:\Users\\Videos

    etc.

  • Iconia 8 cannot transfer files to the formatted Sandisk MicroSD card fat?

    Iconia 8 cannot transfer pix or formatted data to 64 g. Sandisk MicroSD card fat files?    Any way difficult?

    I tried to reproduce what you experience on the device, but have been able to copy files on the SD card without any problems successfully. How do you try to move the files? I didn't go in Astro Manager of files, search for a file on my Tablet and tap and hold on the file and select copy. Then, I went to the SD card in Astro, the directory I wanted to copy to and you click on paste. You can try and see if it works? If this is not the case, my best advice would be to try another SD card.

  • Error: The file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location

    Hi, I have a problem when copying the files in my windows 7 PC to my Sansa clip 4 GB of sport.

    This error appears when I transfer them to any folder on my sport Clip:

    Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?
    The file has properties that cannot be copied to the new location.

    I can click Yes or not (when I click Yes, the file is copied to the new location)

    The reason why I ask is the following:
    The file will be somewhat different after being copied on my sport Clip?
    This is a file audio subliminal message to help me overcome some mental problems, so it would be bad if the file is modified after copying...

    The file plays perfectly and sound quality seems very good.
    However, I still need to know if the file is modified in a way?

    The device is correctly detected, but in the manual it says that when you go into my computer and click on the Sansa Clip Sports, you must click on a folder in the internal memory and then you will find a folder of music.

    But it is not at all a folder in the internal memory...

    When I click on Sansa Clip sport, I see these folders:
    Sound, music, audio books, Podcasts, playlists.
    AUDBOOK. LIB, AUDIBLE. LIB, M3U. LIB, MUSIC. LIB, PODCAST. LIB, version.sdk

    Thank you in advance, I really hope that someone will answer you

    The file properties check the metadata associated with the file.  This error occurs generally when the file was created on an NTFS volume and some of the assosiated with this file metadata is not supported on a FAT32 volume. What you mean actually is not associated with file properties, so it would not be changed.

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    From your problem description, I understand that you are unable to transfer files from an external drive on another drive. Please let me know if this isn't the problem that you are experiencing.

    Before troubleshooting, I have little information on the issue.

    1. Do you receive any error or display message?
    2. Did you recent hardware or modifications to the software on the computer before this problem?

    Try the methods and then check after each method:

    Method 1: Transfer files from a drive to the location on the desktop or a temporary folder and then try to transfer them to the destination disk.

    Note: make sure the free space on the disk in the destination drive.

    Method 2: Run the Fixit:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/windows_file_and_folder_diag/

    Method 3: Disconnect your player safely, and restart the computer. And then try to transfer the files.

    If the problem persists, post your reply with results and questions above. We are happy to help you further in the advanced troubleshooting steps!

  • How to transfer files from the old hard drive to a disc new hard, old hard disk has been removed?

    I had a hard disk going bad. Installed a new hard drive and the need to transfer files from the old hard drive. I have an external enclosure for the old hard drive and can connect by usb port.

    The process is fairly simple once you put the old drive in the external box. You can use the usual methods of copy and paste in Windows Explorer. If you copy files, complete folders, you can take a look at RichCopy.

  • Windows easy transfer. I can't use transfer to move files to the new computer

    I used windows easy transfer to back up my files to an external hard drive before doing a clean install of windows 7, XP.

    I am unable to find any "windows easy transfer" files on the hard drive for transfer to the new computer.

    ALL the files from my old computer are there and I am able to access it from the external hard drive.

    Please tell me there is an easy way to transfer files and I don't have to do it manually.

    What is the error message when you try to restore files in Windows 7?

    Also, did you really use the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard to back up your files or did you use the built in the files and Settings Transfer wizard in Windows XP? If you used the files and Settings Transfer Wizard, that won't work no.

    You must install Windows Easy Transfer on Windows XP, save the files as one. MIG file on your external drive, restore it on the Windows 7 computer. See for instructions:

  • transfer files from the old drive hard windows 7 to new computer windows 8

    My old laptop windows 7 crashed for an unknown reason, so I bought a new laptop with windows 8. I removed the hard drive from the windows 7 machine and using an external enclosure card connected to the new laptop.

    I can see and open any public folders in the folder of the user data, but can not access a user folder. Also when I right click on the folder of the user, it seems that they are empty.

    I have tried making the appropriation and unchecking hidden files but still no luck.

    Pretty frustrated right now.

    I think I solved the problem.

    I had to do a right-click on the folder user and copy and paste in a new folder. While he was doing that he clean up some data. Don't know exactly what was going since I wasn't there when it happened.

    Once he went through this process, I could see my user files to the new folder and the old hard drive.

    Sorry I can't explain it better.
