• Cannot rename personal folders on external drive

  I have an external drive WD Passport that I keep my personal files. After having a virus deleted, I find that I can not rename one of my files due to the read-only attribute being degraded.  I am running Windows XP Home Edition.  I tried to restart in Mode safe and by changing the attributes it - didn't work.  I tried to change the attributes by using the command prompt - did not work.  I need to get this shady read-only out of my files so they can be renamed.  Any ideas?

  I'm sorry that apparently you won't believe me - or Microsoft.

  Other things to try/test. I don't know if you have tried these things or not.

  1. are you able to rename the files/folders on a drive different from the system external hard? If not, then maybe some infection had damaged you Windows files. If this is the case, then you can try the (sfc/scannow) System File Checker or a repair installation, or do a clean installation of Windows. There is no way for me to know the exact state of your computer from here, or what would be best for you to do.

  2. can you rename the files/folders on the hard disc of origin if it is attached to another computer? If Yes, the problem points to your original operating system is damaged by the virus. If not, then the virus probably damaged files on the external hard drive. It is not uncommon, especially if you have been infected by a kind of ransomware. Again, I have no way of knowing that you have been infected.

  3. If you can rename the files/folders on a different hard disk, you can also try to move the data off the external problem, formatting and see if you can rename the files now.

  And that's all I have. Good luck in your efforts. I have nothing else to add about this.

• Use LR5. Because of volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. When opening LR5 it references only the local hard disk. How can I change the refernce to read the external drive. Thank you

  Use LR5, due to volume and the size of the photos, I use an external hard drive. LR refers only the Local Drive C not outside. Where do I change this by LR read the external drive. Grateful for the help.

  Thank you

  LR is not a file Explorer. He knows only the disks that you imported photos of.

  If you have previously imported these photos, then later moved into the external hard drive, go to the library files and "update location" Panel on the files that you moved.

  If you have never imported these images on the external hard drive, perform an import by using the option 'Add' (not ' copy') to keep the images on the external hard drive during import.

• External hard drive renamed J k. How can I meet him at K?

  I have used Windows 7 Pro for 6 months now. I also backup using Acronis. Everything was back up fine on drive K. However, last week I connected for the first time another external hard drive to use a few photos on this topic. I did not notice what drive letter it assigned. Last night when my backup was planned, he could not save because he back - up drive K, but it showed as reader J.

  I assumed it was something to do with me using this another external drive for the first time last week. So I unplugged the power cord on this new disc (earlier in the week that I have had removed safely by just unplugging the USB and then turn off the power strip that has external drives on this subject). I then stop, and turn it back on and turning on the external drive power strip, I was hoping that my external origin 'Back-up' would return to drive K, but there is drive J.

  How do I make my external original identify as drive K so my backups can run?

  And what I can do to prevent that happening, because I need to use the other hard drive periodically?

  Thank you

  You must remove this particular device to the drive letter before they can be assigned to another device,

  If the device is a reader of card win 7 does not let you delete the drive letters unless there is inserted media.
  -No problems with removal XP / assignment of drive letters to media without inserted media players

  If the device is a card reader internal, you will need to insert a card into the reader
  Right-click on the block that has the info in there.
  you will get the context menu
  change drive letters and paths to remove unit K:
  or if you don't have a compatible card to the reader
  you will need to uninstall it from the Device Manager to free the drive letter

  If it is an external USB card reader simply unplug to release K:

• Movement music from itunes to a new external drive

  Hello!

  So there are a lot of questions in the face of this general problem, but I found no one who comes close to my situation.

  There are at present all music from my iTunes (~1.4 TB) library is shared between two external drives. I just bought a new laptop (3 TB) and would like to move - preferably not copy, I know that straight-up moving items between volumes is possible in the terminal, I don't know the right commands - all this music to the new drive. My iTunes Library.itl and the rest of the folder iTunes at the same time, are on my computer, I don't know if we keep them there or move them as well.

  I use any file "iTunes Media. Most of my library is rips of CD and downloads without loss, and I prefer to keep the organized myself (as including scans of records covers music and writing notes and other information about the record such as comments). "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy the files into the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is, therefore, both uncontrolled. And I think that naming a new file on the new drive as "iTunes Media" and then checking "Consolidate files" in the file > library > organize library to copy all the music she would keep the folder structure I created or transfer through the images, log files, PDF files, etc..

  Can anyone advise on what would allow me to do this with a minimum of disruption to my iTunes library (IE not having to add all and recreate all my playlists, etc., which, in itself, would take another hours 20, or whatever on top of the amount of time it will take to move all files?)

  Thanks in advance!

  OS X 10.7.5 / iTunes 12.1.2.27

  If you want iTunes to do the work (as expected), let iTunes do its work...    That would mean designate a location on the new drive for the iTunes Media folder (in the Advanced iTunes preferences pane) by using the command to "consolidate files" (-> library menu bar-> organize the library-> consolidate the files).

  IF all your current iTunes media on the external drive files are on a SINGLE volume (not two), you can copy your folder structure complete (for your iTunes media files) to the new volume of external hard drive (using the Finder).  Then with iTunes works DO NOT, unplug the old external drive and rename the new external drive exactly the same name volume as the old volume of external drive.  Basically, do the new disc looks like the old drive to iTunes.  When you run iTunes, the "routes" to its multimedia files are the same as before, so iTunes sees no difference.

  But since your iTunes media is 'shared between two external drives', you can't do it cleanly.  If a part is much more important, you could do the above with the majority only.  Now, at this point, you can use it in this way, with the new external drive as your main expansion of storage in course, and existing 'other' always connected player.  In iTunes, it seems again the same as before.

  If you want that all your media files to iTunes on the new external drive...  Copy this second folder (with your smallest part of iTunes media) structure to the new external drive (using the Finder).  With iTunes doesn't work DO NOT, unplug the 'other' external drive.  When you run iTunes, it loses track of media files in this part (but keep those songs with exclamation point in the library).  This next part may or may not work.  When iTunes spot is no longer a song file, when you try to play it, iTunes will ask if you want to locate.  I heard that if you do this for a song (by pointing to the new location for this piece), iTunes can extrapolate the locations for the other files 'disappeared' of the song.  If it does not work with the first song (or partially works), try to do it for a little more.  Worst case, you will need to add the songs in the smaller part manually.

• clips from library for the FCPX external drive disappear

  First time user FCPX.

  I run an end iMac from 2012 and has been using iMovie 10.1.2 until yesterday.  Just before you buy FCPX, I ran out of hard drive space and got a disk external 4 TB and transferred my iMovie library here.  I've renamed the library external iMovie "iMovie" and deleted the one on my Mac, releasing 500 GB of space.  Tested with iMovie using the external drive, no problem, everything works ok.

  Then, I bought yesterday FCPX.  To have access to all my old clips in imovie, I used iMovie and open "library external iMovie" and used the 'send to Final Cut Pro library' command in the file menu of iMovie.  Everything seemed fine, as I was able to open the library in FCPX and all my clips and events were there.

  I thought everything was great, then I went to add some clips to FCPX of my video camera.  I created a second library FCPX and put the clips.  They have downloaded completely, but after downloading said it was over, my machine froze and I had to do a hard reboot by turning off.  This isn't all that unusual, sometimes my Mac crashes when I leave it alone for several hours.

  After that I turned on and opened FCPX, I see in the left pane, two libraries, and events, but some clips appear on my screen.  I opened and closed the library hoping to get the clips to the rear, without success.

  Any idea what went wrong or how to fix it?  I don't know whether to attribute the problem to computer freezing, or rather the use for the first time an external drive to host my files.

  If I can't understand what went wrong, and then I simply repeat the process I went through the first time and see if I get the same results, but I'd rather figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it, so I have a higher level of comfort, go ahead.   I hope that this will not be an experience repeat everything simply because I'm hosting my video files on an external drive.

  Thank you!

  The problem is caused by the shutdown. You could see if there is a backup in the case of movies, but there are maybe not if you have imported only from the media.

  You cannot use this computer with FCP if hard it crashes. You have to get it repaired. No computer should crash like that unless you pull the plug. If you have problems to get a UPS to give you time to stop.

• Error to imovie 11 project external drive

  I try free hd space by attaching a mac format external hard drive and moving projects imovie inside the imovie holding down the cmd key project view. But since the project contains clips with built in audio effects, titles, etc. that is part of iMovie itself (at least I think that's the reason why) it gives error message - 43 say he couldn't move the ringing or the nail. He then shows the project as if it is moved, but restart imovie it is back to its original location again. Grateful for any idea that you could share...

  Sounds as if you do it right, but just to be safe here is a link to instructions by AppleMan 1958.

  How to move or copy projects and events on an external drive? (Version 9 and earlier)

  Note his comment about an error

  For existing projects, you can move it using these instructions.

  http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/#move7d66613

  There is an error in the guidelines where it says drag the icon of the project to the icon in the event library. You should rather look for your hard drive icon in the project library.

  Generally, the event takes more space hd project then you can consider moving events as well.

• What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

  • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
  • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
  • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

  I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

  Thank you

  Brian

  older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

  the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

  I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

• Creating a new iTunes merged on external drive library

  I'm currently using 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 - I got lots and lots of problems with iTunes and libraries corrupt and have got to the point where I did all my playlists and so on are lost.

  I'm done with all my music files shared between two folders - there are duplicates between these records, but as far as I know, nothing is actually missing. As I don't have enough space on the hard drive of the current computer to consolidate those two files, I have them have copied onto an external hard drive - now I want to consolidate the library on the external hard drive in order to pass all the music to a new version of iTunes on my new iMac.

  Can someone tell me how can I do? I guess I need to move the iTunes application itself on the external drive to consolidate the two music files here - it is a simple process, and it will work?

  First of all, you must certainly not move the application iTunes itself.  Secondly, as you said you copied your separate music files on the external hard drive you should still have them in their location of origin - otherwise, you should copy them back again before proceeding and make sure you can always play your music in iTunes.  The function of the iTunes "Consolidate library" is to copy the media files from their current locations to another of your choice, and update the iTunes database so that all references to the location of your media files are correctly updated.

  The correct procedure to follow is:

  1. External hard disk, create a folder called "iTunes", then in this folder, create one called "iTunes Media.
  2. In iTunes, select iTunes > Preferences > advanced, and then change the setting for the iTunes Media folder iTunes/iTunes Media on your external drive
  3. Now select file > library > organize a library..., check the files to consolidate and, if not grayed, the reorganize files.. box
  4. Click OK - iTunes won't copy each multimedia file that is located in a valid entry in your database for iTunes to the hierarchy of standard folder in iTunes/iTunes Media external hard disk
  5. Once this process is complete, check that your music plays again - when you have verified the results, you can then delete the original files that iTunes has just copied your media since.

  This will produce a working library with all media on the external hard drive, as you have described.  However, at this point, you have a shared library with the database of iTunes and other data to support on a single disc and your media on another.  Manipulation of backups, migrating to a new computer, replication to other computers, etc., works best if you have the complete library on the external hard drive - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

• I exported my bookmarks on an external drive. I want to import their return and they do not show when I click Import...

  When I click on import and then open the external drive does not show bookmarks. If I open the external drive via "Start/computer" I can see in it, ok.

  This probably means that the file is not an extension of .html file and you will need to rename the file to bookmarks-2012-09 - 14.html make Firefox the list in the import file selector.
  
  You can see the HTML file type is required in the lower corner on the right.

  If you are unsure of the type of file, then you can open the file in Firefox via "file > open a file.
  
  A JSON backup will appear as a single line of text without line breaks and one backup HTML in a web page with clickable links.

  • A JSON backup begins with: {"title": "","id": 1, "dateAdded": }
  • An HTML backup begins with: <! DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-leader-1 >

• External drive are more recognized.

  My external hard drive (USB) is not recognized after update firmware multiport.  Is this a known problem or is it possible to re - install the update?

  Don't know if the update of the firmware directly hit the hard drive in question; If

  you have access to another computer, you might see if the drive itself is OK.

  Another possibility is that the hard drive has chosen time to fail (the pregnant, maybe)

  This coincided with the update; the disc in the box can be good. And to

  time, a hard drive could be located by using so that no visible disk utility on the

  desktop computer. Sometimes, if an external hard drive is interrupted during a reading / writing, he

  may not appear later on the computer. Sometimes, another cable can help. Or

  If it is available to test with another adapter, too.

  Have you read this other thread similar problem for ideas?

  Multiport USB - C map update will not install

  Sometimes an external drive or other connected device can be seen again after

  a reboot; or after a re-defined SMC. Not a sure thing, though.

  Sorry I do not have a precise and realistic response to cure this disease.

  In any case... good luck!

• Drive external DRIVE 320 GB PX1267E - 1 32 keeps restarting

  I have a Toshiba PX1267E - 1 32-hard external drive 320 GB which keeps restarting itself whenever I try to copy large files.

  AI? ve tried it on 2 computers to another brand and the same problems occur, less with one of the other brand but that is strange?

  Someone else had this problem?

  Hi, I just wanted to ask you which files on your external HARD drive? Maybe there is a problem with it?
  Another suggestion is, back up your data to another medium, go to your local dealer where you bought it and try it. If you encounter the error even by your dealer, then let them trade your car.

• I copied the photo library on external drive, and that one photo now shows despite the file being 70 GB.

  I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.

  I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.

  I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.

  I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.

  Any suggestions?

  We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

• My Macbook Pro gives me a message saying: external drive is not readable by this computer. But he worked Twitter.com. What can I do?

  I tried to move my music and my pictures of my Macbook Pro 2012 to other Macbook Pro 2009, but the older one is absolutely remained stuck. So I unplugged. Now, it will not be read by Macs, and give me a message, the external drive is not readable by this computer. Both are running on the same iTunes updated and Maverick. What can I do to recover thousands of photos and CD?

  The disc in particular is either corrupted or has failed.   If you don't have a backup, you find yourself working with a data recovery service, which will not come cheap, and they don't guarantee any results - to try to shoot everything that is left behind.   Reformatting the drive - if it has corrupted and not failed - could bring the disk itself to the utility, but that won't help with any data on the disk.
