Download directly to the problem of external hard drive

I set preferences to ask for each download, but when I download something and designate the external hard drive to the hard disk instead of an external hard drive.  Thoughts?  Thank you.

Set preferences in what?

    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.

  • Problem with external hard drive (an unexpected error - 50)

    I've had this problem for a few months now. Sometimes, I can't delete a file from my external hard drive, or export a file to it. The process is impossible, and I get a message "Cannot perform the action due to an unexpected error - 50". Ejecting the disc gives the message "eject impossible because another program can use it." Ejection force becomes the only option. After re-login, the problem goes away, like nothing ever happened.

    The question is not constant, but quite common to become a nuisance, the one I want stopped.

    That's what I think it is (a bad connection with the cable, defective contact), or is this a virus? I need to know.

    The hard drive is 1 TB Toshiba Canvio Basics and is formatted as Mac OS extended (Journalized).

    not a virus, and not only because there is no virus mac at this time.

    negative errors on the discs can be a signal indicating that the file is corrupted or worse still, the drive is failing. While it can also be a problem with the cable or the connector that it commonly goes back on the disc itself.

    Currently, it is recommended that you backup your data if a backup fails, you may need to save what you can manually and sometimes that means go to this folder by folder or file by file

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    All HARD drives (and SSD') eventually fail and while this isn't a your statement you should check the drive with disk utility (Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) after you got what you possibly can off and consider replacing the disk with a new one.

  • Change the password on external hard drive

    Hi all

    on my iMac 21.5 ", I recently updated my Mac HD internal to El Capitan 10.11.  There are now several major programs (for example MPEG Streamclip and Photoshop elements 11) which worked fine under Yosemite, but are not compatible with El Capitan.

    On an external hard drive, I installed Yosemite 10.10.2 in late 2014 when it was the last version of OS X.  Only, I installed a system on the usual external drive boot on the internal HD failure.  All of these programs (also installed on the external hard drive) work very well in Yosemite.

    When I start on the hard disc to access these programs, I had problems when I need to make changes for which the system requires a user and a password.  I don't remember what they were.  Is it possible to change the password (given that I can identify the user name in the "Users" folder), please?

    Best regards, paulranger1.

    Please open the Startup disk preferences window and select the volume on the external hard disk. You must change this selection on the internal drive after the reset of the password.

    Start in recovery mode. When OS X Utilities window, select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

    In the window that opens, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. Close the Terminal window to get him out of the way.

    Select the boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected. You won't be able to do this if FileVault is turned on.

    Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It is safer to choose a password that includes only the characters a - z, A - Z and 0-9.

    Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.

    You should now be able to login with the new password, but will reset the keychain (empty). If you have forgotten the password for the keychain (which is normally the same as the password for the connection), there is no way to recover it.

  • I backed up all the data on external hard drive and did a clean install of xp pro. I can't find a lot of folders, files or programs.

  • connect the phone to external hard drive wireless

    I have a laptop with Vista and a pc with Windows 7.  We have an external hard drive connected to the pc.  I would like to move my music files from my laptop to the external hard drive and be able to communicate with them wireless.  What should I do to be able to do this? There is a wireless router in the House.

    Hello

    Wire or wireless does not matter for this purpose.

    The drive must be set as a shared device, and then the other computers that are on the same network (wire or wireless) can access.

    Here's how.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_name.jpg

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    -----------------------------

    Win 7 networking with other version of Windows as a work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    When you have finished the configuration of the system, it is recommended to restart everything the router and all computers involved.

    -------------

    If you have authorization and security problems, check the followingsettings.

    Point to a folder that wants to share do right click and choose Properties.

    In the properties

    Click on the Security tab shown in the bellows of the photo on the right) and verify that users and their permissions (see photo below Centre and left) are configured correctly. Then do the same for the authorization tab.

    This screen shot is to Win 7, Vista menus are similar.

    The Security Panel and the authorization Panel, you need to highlight each user/group and consider that the authorization controls are verified correctly.

    When everything is OK, restart the network (router and computer).

    * Note . The groups and users listed in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will focus on how your system is configured.

    * Note . There must be specific users. All means all users who already have an account now as users. This does not meaneveryone who feel they would like to connect.

  • front usb ports are unable to detect the large capacity external hard drive (250 GB)

    Hello
    I have 250 GB external hard drive, whenever I connect to my front usb ports it detected, but pen drives, are to detect flash drives, one of my friends said that you need to update my bios & I here is the motherboard.

    motherboard: Mercury 945gcm

    It is possible that the USB 1.1 and not 2.0 ports that can explain the problem.  In addition, sometimes USB ports out enough power to run an external device that is not powered separatelly.  I don't know if updating the BIOS will help, but if there is an update available for your system (and it MUST be for your system - big bad can occur if you install the wrong BIOS so get with the computer manufacturer, and speak to a representative to confirm that they are appropriate for your system AND your version of Vista) then by all means install it and see if that solves the problem.  You can also get the updated drivers for the motherboard manufacturer, at the same time and see if that helps as well.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Windows 7 asks Me to format the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive I've used for more than a month

    I used Seagate FreeAgent as my external hard drive for more than a month now, but recently I am unable to access Windows 7 asks me to format it to use it. Somehow I can format the HDD without losing my data?  Or does perform a work around?

    Hi NuVille,

    Before perform us any of the steps, first of all I suggest you to create a backup of the data stored in your external hard drive on another computer.

    To save the data, you can connect your external hard drive on another computer and copy all the files and folders on the other computer. Later, you can connect the external drive to the Windows 7 computer and try to run the disk error checking and check if that helps you solve the problem.

    Access the link below and follow the steps to check the drive for errors and fix it.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

    After completing the disc you error checking, try to check if you can access the drive.

    If the steps above do not I suggest you try to format the hard drive. Access the link below and follow the steps to format the hard drive.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

    Note: there is no way to format without losing any data on the disk. Formatting the drive will erase all data.  This is why you must back up the data before formatting the hard drive.

    I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Save the playlist on external hard drive.

    I would like to be able to export a playlist on an external hard drive, so that all the mp3s in this playlist are grouped in the same order on the hard disk as in the playlist.

    Hello Nomad vagabond,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that you want to export a playlist on an external hard drive and want to keep all the songs in the same order that they were when they were in the iTunes library. I have stopped at my music as well.

    This article contains information on the iTunes library:

    On the iTunes library files

    The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of songs in your library and playlists that you created.

    Thus, songs and playlists will be recorded how you created and you can move them to the external hard drive by following these steps:

    Manage and backup your iTunes library

    Best regards.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

    Files to be copied.
