• Cannot load external hard drive .itl file

  I'm trying to migrate my itunes to an external HD to new computer, Windows 10.

  The old computer had reached a miserable end of life due to obsolescence and lack of resources.

  For example, shortly before he died, I thought how to move all files including the media and the. ITL and the. XML for the EHD files.

  It seems that this may have complicated problems for the current process.

  The former. ITL file is there and intact. I try to IMPORT PLAYLIST, which is the closest thing to what I think I need, and it says that the file cannot be imported because it doesn't seem to be a valid exported file.

  I try to import the .xml and it is said that some of the songs in the Itunes music library file were imported not because they are not found. It means everything.

  I tried to hold the ALT key and open Itunes, as seen somewhere, but it's apparently a MAC function only. Windows opens a properties box, will not open the program and allow selection of the library as described.

  I also just tried dragging the .itl file itunes such as discussed in migrating to a new computer, but appears not to work either.

  If the old computer worked in anyway I will try to export the file. But alas, this is not an option.

  I currently complete my collection, but any piece of data has disappeared. I would really like to return?

  Thanks for nothing.

  Hold down the SHIFT key while you start iTunes.  When you arrive it is fast:

  

  Click choose a library... then navigate to and select the iTunes Library (.itl file) hard disk external.  This is the only way to get iTunes to use a specific library - import, a double click, etc. have no effect.  Once you've done this iTunes will continue to use the library selected (without having to use the SHIFT-Start option) so that the external hard drive is connected and its drive letter does not change.

  You may need to check the layout of your iTunes library on the external HARD disk is correct - it should be like this:

  

  More specifically, the iTunes Library.itl file should be in the folder that contains the iTunes Media folder.  See tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

  Hi Itay,

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community.

  I understand that you get this error "the application \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\System32\svchost.exe prevents this device to be stopped. Close the application and then try to stop the device again. "Whenever you try to eject the external hard drive.

  You may get this message if Windows was started with the inserted disc. Try to wait until Windows is completely loaded before inserting it, then if you try to eject it doesn't work.

  You can try the suggestions below and check if it helps.

  1. Download Process Explorer from the link below http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653
  2. Click search, find handle or DLL (Dynamic Link Library) in the tool menu.
  3. Type the drive letter of the USB device in the handle or DLL substring text box and press the search button.
  4. Find the process and its PID (process identifier) in the following box.
  5. In the tree of the system process, find the process according to find it handle or DLL dialog box.

• Cannot find external hard drives - Windows XP Media Center

  I just got a new external HDD two days ago in the case where my old drive never fails. I have connected both to my laptop and copy all my old files from the old drive to the new. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Stop' under 'Remove hardware safely', and both readers suddenly stopped being recognized by my computer. When I plug in, they light up and run, but their records are not displayed in my computer. I don't get any error message (or any kind of message), but they always show upward under Device Manager. I tried to move the USB cables, restarted my computer, update device drivers, do a system restore and run a virus scan (some files on my drive C: disappeared recently, however, the scanner found nothing). I also tried to attach external hard drives to other computers, but they are still not recognized. Please help - I have files that cannot be replaced and the new cost of drive hard $100, and I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement without warranty or invoice.

  Hard drives not recognized in all other computers as well? There lies the problem.

  Try to connect to some other computers (XP, Vista or 7) and see if the problem repeats.

  If so, your disks are dead (because no computers detect them).

  Download and run the utility to diagnoses of the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard disk to check for disk errors.

• My used external hard drive appears now as (g), it appears as (h). How to switch this back?

  I plugged my Ipod without my connected external and now the Ipod 'stolen' label (g). No matter if its connected or not it (g) Ipod and external shows like (h). How to pass the external back to (g)?

  Hello

  Step 1: Connect an external hard drive (before iPod conneting or any other external device) and then check if the G drive letter is assigned. If the G drive letter is already used by any other device, then it cannot be attributed to other devices.

  Step 2: If none of the devices are using the G drive letter and then try to change the drive letter.

• external hard drive reformatting Mac for Windows

  I am running windows 7 I just picked up a new external hard drive. My computer does not show that it connected. The drivers have been installed and it says that the device is working properly, but I can't record on it or get my computer to recognize... Thank you S/R Art

  Hello and welcome!

  A new HDD may not formatted or partitioned as they won't know if you're going to use it on a Mac or Windows.

  When you connect the hard drive to your PC, Windows should have led you to format the drive.

  If not, click Start > search for create and Format hard disk permissions > then right-click on your external hard drive and select another format or create a new volume.

• Restore files using external hard drive

  I have an external hard drive which has my files my desktop which is Windows 7.  This office has crashed and I need to put the files on my laptop that is Windows 8. Is this possible?

  Hi Julie,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  Yes, you certainly can restore all of your files from external HDD (HARD drive) to Windows 8 regardless of the version of Windows that we put them on earlier. If you have some backup software, you can restore the files using your favorite backup provided by the external HARD disk manufacturer software. If the data contain documents, images, or other media files, you can directly move files in the HARD drive files external to the library folders in Windows.

  Hope this information is useful. Let us know if you need more help, we will be happy to help you.

• What is an I / Q error? This occurs with the backups using external hard drive SeaGate

  We have two external hard drives; a 3Terabyte (don't know how it) Seagate and another whose name escapes me. On the Seagate, I get the message: backup did not complete due to I / Q error. What is I / Q error and how to fix this? If all goes well, not a complicated process.

  Thanks for any help. Hope I selected the areas to fix this, below.

  Fred, SR.

  Win7 64 bit, Office 2010

  Hello

  I assumed that by I / Q error you mean error e/s? Run chkdsk on the drive Seagate:

  Start > Search bar > type cmd right click and select run as administrator

  High CMD should now be open, type the following:

  CHKDSK x: /r

  x involves the reader of your letter, so if your hard drive in question is the letter c, it would be:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Restart the system and allow to run chkdsk.

  Kind regards

• How partition an external hard drive and configure for Time Machine backup?

  I am a rookie just to switch to Windows Apple Mac and I'm looking to back up my new iMac with a Seagate hard drive 2 TB external.  My Mac is a 1 TB hard drive, I'm looking to partition for backup and storage.  Is this a good idea?  Is there a simple way to do it?  I appreciate any help I can get.  I also bought three years of Apple support, but I'd rather do it myself, so I thought I'd give this discussion from the community to try.  Thank you!!

  No, it isn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

• Linksys EA6900 - cannot access external hard drive USB USB1 of more

  Linksys Firmware 1.1.42.161129 Ea6900

  I had a Linksys EA6900 router for the last 6 months.  I had 2 USB 3.0 4 TB drives Seagate external hard connected to the back of the router

  USB1 - 4 TB Media

  USB2 - 4 TB Backup

  Things worked very well, but I got hurt in the last weeks, I can access is more than 4 to Media of USB1

  I can connect two hard drives on my laptop Win 10 and access it fine, I scanned to find errors

  I can put a USB2 hard drive and access it through the Linksys router.

  I can't access one of them through USB1

  BUT

  I can plug other things on USB1 and access them very well

  1. 8 GB USB drives ok

  1 GB Transcend externak disc ok

  3 TB Seagate harrdrive via a Dock HD ok

  This logic, I can't work on where is the problem - it's the router or hard drives.

  I restarted the router, no change

  Ensure access to records: Off

  FTP server: disabled

  Media Server: on

  Does anyone have ideas, what happens with USB1 port?

  Hello. It's actually very weird. Given that you can't pinpointthe cause of the problem, I recommend that you reset, then reconfigure the router to try to solve this problem. Just be sure to save your settings. We'll see if it works.

• cannot eject external hard drive with Aperture library on it

  Hello

  in recent weeks, I can't eject a hard disc with the Aperture library on it. A dialog appears saying that an Application is still in use, but opening is closed and there is nothing else on the external drive (Seagate 2 to).

  Yesterday, I moved my library on a Lacie Rugged drive. Always the same question.

  What could be the reason for this?

  Eddd you change Aperture preferences recently? Perhaps the preview preferences or XML part?
