Error copy iPhoto for external hard drive on Mac

I get error trying to back up my iPhoto on an external drive folder. The disc has been formatted on iMac and is totally empty.

I don't save my files on my iMac so it is not slowing down, I have all my iPhoto backed up on an external drive, it will call external disc 2 to, I'm having a backup of the external 2 TB to another drive external drive, he'll call external player 5 TB.

The message reads...

"You cannot copy"my iPhoto to filename"because he has the same name as another article on the destination volume, and the volume is not making the distinction between upper and lower case in file names."

Any ideas on how to solve this problem.

Thank you.

Reformat the second external drive with Mac OS Extended (case-sensitive respect).

  • Install Panther PPC for external hard drive on Mac Intel

    I have an old iMac G3 333 MHz, 192 MB of RAM. No firewire, no DVD. I updated its 120 GB hard drive, made 2 partitions (a 7, for the system 77 GB) and installed OS 10.1. I replaced the PRAM Battery (the clock is not reset on reboot) and the firmware is up-to-date.

    Now I want to upgrade the system to OS X 10.3 Panther (to try to use the WiFi adapter that uses only the drivers OS X 10.3), but there is some kind of problem with the installation. The installation discs are read perfectly on iMac in point 10.1, when I start to install it under the current operating system, it starts after the reboot, but after it's the consistency of hard drive check, it seems to freeze, it shows progress maybe a single pixel on the progress bar (expected about an hour or two (, no change). I checked the disk with disk utility, and that's okay. And when I try to boot from the CD directly (holding C) it's light gray screen with the Apple logo and the circle of dashes thing and freezes.

    So I thought that the solution might be to take the iMac hard drive, plug it into my MacBook Pro (early 2011) as external USB disk and install Panther on it. The fine wire work, I can read/write HD on MacBook Pro iMac, but Setup cannot start because it is assumed for PPC computers, while my MacBook Pro is based on Intel of course...

    Is there a way to install OS X supposed to PPC on the external drive to the Mac to Intel processor? Or maybe there are other ways to solve the problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    The solution is to understand why it does not work (as it should) while the drive is installed in the iMac.  You do not have to operate using the MacBook, because it cannot run the software for Mac PowerPC.

    Is Panther drive installing a retail disk?  In other words, a drive sold separately in a box for all models taken Mac supported.  NOT a disc that came with a specific Mac model.  If I remember, the detail for Panther disc is black with a big X silver, and it's an disc enabled, not only a single disc.  If you have a gray disk, it's a disc that came with a specific Mac model, and it may not work with your iMac.

  • Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

    For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.

  • Emails in outlook express may be archived or copied to an external hard drive?

    Emails in outlook express may be archived or copied to an external hard drive. I have about 8 years I want to lose.

    See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6 Just run OEQB and it will create a backup in a directory that you specify.  I would recommend the backup on the disk hard local and then copy on the external drive so its slower.

    The OE files are very sensitive to corruption and many people lose messages per day (see point 2 on this page), so you should go often enough if you want to keep your messages.  Hard drives may also fail and you lose everything.

    I have a brand new HP Pavilion Windows 7 Home Premium desktop/8 GB memory/1 terabyte hard drive. Just hung up 3 days ago, and after installing my software, attempted to perform a full backup with the image of a brand new Toshiba Canvio 500 GB external hard drive. I get 0x8078012D error code, without interruption.  I did a check on the external hard drive disk, and it was good. I did a check for virus on the external hard drive, and that was good. I have triple checked the settings for backup and they are as I want them to be. -What is the Toshiba external hard drive or my bad nine HP desktop computer?  I had to call HP tech support yesterday as 2 programs, I had already installed has stopped working, but also Java and Adobe Flash Player.

He wrecked settings that I had, I did a system restore on the eve of the appellant, which was day 2 of owning the new pc.

    Hello

    The error would have occurred if the services related to backup Windows could have been disabled. This can also occur due to other security software installed on the computer.

    Y at - it a third-party security software installed on the computer?

    I suggest you to check if the services are running and in manual mode.

    You can follow the methods:

    Method 1:

    Follow the steps to check if services are running. If not, restart them and check if that helps:

    (a) click Start.

    (b) type Services in the start search.

    (c) in the Services window, search for the shadow copy volume.

    (d) right click on the Service.

    (e) click Properties.

    (f) select Start on ManualType.

    (g) click OK.

    (h) now repeat the same steps for Windows backup service as well.

    Check if you find the same error trying to save using the hard disk. If Yes, proceed to method 2.

    Method 2:

    I suggest to temporarily disable the security software installed on the computer and check if it helps. Check out the link to do so:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Important note: security 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.

    It will be useful.

    Just reply to us with the results. We will be happy to help you.

  • copy photos on external hard drive

    Can someone give me a method step by step to copy the photos and videos on my photos/iphotos to my mac to an external hard drive please? As far as I understand it, is not simply a matter of copy and pasting. Or is it? Sorry in advance, I'm not very technical interest.

    Do you want only the pictures and videos on the external drive, or do you want a backup of your iPhoto Library library or a library of Photos?

    For a full backup, select the iPhoto library and photo library in the Finder and drag the libraries in the folder to your external drive.  To store libraries, the external drive must have the file system format "Mac OS extended (journaled).

    If you only want copies of your photos and videos, export them Photos and iPhoto.

    See Terence Devlinuser Tip: export for iPhoto

    It explains how to export your photos from iPhoto.  Use the same method in Photos to export your photos in folders on the external hard drive.

  • Gets the air space, copy Photos on external hard drive.

    If I copy and paste the picture on a USB application (which works very well, I have all my pictures) is the photo still be there when I open the app copied on my computer once I have them deleted on my Mac? I would like to remove all the photos from the first photo app that I have to make room, but keep photos somewhere (not iCloud).

    I would also like to know if after I open the old one and adds new photos of Photos on the Photos app, which is now on my external hard drive. (somewhat like fusion of the old and the new) Is this possible?

    Thank you very much!

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)

    1. exit Photos

    2 copy the library of your folder on the external drive.

    3 press and hold the option (or alt) key while launching Photos. In the menu that appears, select "Choose Library" and navigate to the new location. From there it will be the default location of your library.

    4 test the library, and when you are sure that all is well, trash on your HD internal for free space.
