External hard drive causing Finder freeze on two different Macs

Similar Questions

• I'm trying to run a program back to 7. I know it is not possible, but anyone who has used dosbox? And if I load xp on an external hard drive can I have essentially two separate computers?

  How can I run a program back through windows 7? DOSbox? zinstall? Or loading of a xp via external hard drive? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  DOSbox or BACK (or XP or another 32-bit version of WIndows) on a virtual machine.

  An external hard drive can be used only if it is connected by SATA (not USB). In this case, it seems to be an internal drive.

  If you have Windows 7 Professional, you can use XP Mode. Otherwise, use VMWare Player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/, Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org/ or Windows Virtual PC http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx to host your virtual machine.

• Moved files on external hard drive cannot find my changes in lightroom

  I use Lightroom 4 on a Mac.
  I moved recently all my photos on an external hard drive, and nothing I've read yet could help move my images edited in Lightroom.

  In lightroom, beside the heading folder I clicked on the + and added my external drive - it shows it's Green and alive.

  All the pictures I had initially recorded on my Mac hard drive are now showing on external drive - good.

  In lightroom, the subfolders in my Mac hard drive are now show with question marks that files are missing - who they are, because they are now on my external hard drive.

  What is my problem, all the editing I did on these photos in lightroom before is now gone. How do the editing work I had done on these photos to appear on the external hard disk images? If I look at my pictures on the hard drive of the Mac, they show they have faded and disappeared, but it shows all my changes again on the photos. External hard disk, it shows the original version of the image with no changes made.

  Note: I backed up my computer before moved me all my photos, so if I need to put them on hard drive on my mac, I am able to do.

  Update

  I have solved my problem. If someone comes across the question I was trying hard, I suggest to try move the files from WITHIN lightroom.

  Initially, I had used my OS to move my files to image on an external hard drive, by simply drag and drop. Lightroom was not able to keep the editing I did on these pictures after that that they were moved. I restored a backup on my Mac and place the files in their original location. Then within the lightroom program, I was able to move the folders from photo (with modifications) on my external hard drive.

  Hello.

  You can try to transfer files with Linux Live CD. Do it just to create a live Linux USB and start the computer by using it by going into the BIOS and change the order of boot on CD/USB. Once it loads, you can try and mount the drive (or if Linux can read, it mounts in itself) and see if you can transfer the files from the outside.

  Other than that, you can also take a look at this Microsoft's KB article and try the methods described here as well:

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2636421

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon! :)

• external hard drive is missing. But drive turn on!

  Hello

  My Iomega external hard drive seems to be missing on my mac. But I see the drive light on when you are connected to the USB port.

  I use an old iMac & an Iomega hard drive that worked without problem. I took travel & when I got home, I connected on the iMac, but I don't see the icon. I find deposit on Finder & also I tried turning / slideshow, external drive on Finder.I see all other connected external drives but not this one. I do not see it listed in the disc utilities. I tried to connect to another Mac & still have the same problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?

  I've never used the Iomega drivers on the mac, but everything worked well. Do I need to download Iomega drivers?

  It seems that the Iomega company is more then what I do and who should I speak?

  I use the last BONES of El capitan.

  Any guidance will be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  If possible, try a different port or a different cable; the light in the external hard drive enclosure

  can work OK, while the data flow uses different threads in the cable. In addition, the housing

  (also known as speaker) can have bad elements which could affect the ability of

  the internal hard drive. You may need to get a replacement suitable for box

  Use with this hard drive inside.

  The old drivers of this company would be unnecessary; the recent OS X has all the people.

  There are several reasons why the external drive may be badly behave. Between the

  cable, taken & /or port and failure internal circuit that connects the drive

  inside the computer outside, these can be remedied by the use of replacement cases.

  So there are words that can mean 'wardrobe' of 'accommodation' - or "case."

  If the unit is based on port-power supply through the USB cable only, other issues can happen.

  Most of my closed external hard drives use an external power supply. You can

  must obtain and use (please bring extra) quality additional backup included the HD discs.

  For examples, see OWC macsales.com. Specifications and information are here.

  Sometimes, you can use disk utility to see if you can get an external drive to be 'seen '.

  and if so, do 'mount' - sometimes the other question, trying to unmount or eject.

  At this point, close to 12:30, I hope the case is something simple. A cable? A port?

  In any case...

  Good luck & happy computing!

• Transfer of information from an external hard drive

  Due to a fault, my computer was brought back to factory settings. I have copied the C drive on an external hard drive, but now don't know how to transfer information from email to my old computer.  Probably very simple, but hope that I have not lost all my emails, addresses, etc.  I 'searched' for Windows Mail in the external device and have a number of files, etc.  Now I'm not sure where to send them.  Any help appreciated.

  Hello

  Messages, you would be open Windows Mail, then click on file/import/Messages. Guide (Browse) to the external hard drive and find this path in the old folder hierarchy:

  C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail

  Where is the name of your old account. It is the default location for the store of Windows Mail.

• synchronize with the external hard drive

  I just cc and creative cloud libraries, and adobe said I can't synchronize these external drives, but all files have poured out on my internal drive. This seems odd, is there a setting to change this? Thank you!

  You can't syn on external hard drive, cause you CC folder is located on your user, the only way I change the CC folder by default on an external drive, you can CC app preferences

• To pictures of portable external hard drive

  I have a lot of pictures on my laptop and a catalogue prepared by Lightroom 3.5.  I decided the best way to store photographs is to keep on an external hard drive so that I can work it easily from any computer on my network. (laptop is often cut)   Is there a way to keep/import/export/edit the current catalog so that it works with the pictures on the external hard drive? I wouldn't really have to redo the catalogue with all the keywords everywhere.

  You can copy or move the catalog file (*.) LRCAT) for the external hard drive with your operating system (Windows or Mac Finder). Then, once moved, double-click it to open it. All of your information catalogue (keywords, other metadata changes) will be available.

  The only problem (for Windows users, I don't know if this is true for Mac) is that the external hard drive should have the same letter on each computer you attach to. In other words, if it is today the E: drive on your computer, it must be the drive E: on all computers. Is relatively easy to change in the Windows drive letters; If you need to know how to do this, let us know.

• Windows 7 reassigned by external hard drive letters and PE8 do not accept the new letter

  Sometimes when I move my external hard drives around, Windows will eventually assign different letters for the readers. It seems that all the other programs I use understand how to switch to the new drives when looking for files, but PE8 doesn't. He asked me where the N:files/video/movie.prel file is located. When I find the file in O:files/video/movie.prel. Click on enter the PE8 returns with one does not find the file error and asks us to locate it again. I reinstalled PE8 in the past to deal with the problem, but is there something easier to do.

  The trick is to tell Windows to permanently assign a drive letter to this drive so that it will not assume that this is a new drive, every time you turn it on.

  This discussion to Muvipix.com tells you how.

• How do I move files HD internal to external hard drive

  My internal HD has about 21 remaining G that prevents me from creating a slide show with music.  I anticipate the purchase of an external hard drive to free up space on my internal HD, which automatically backs up everything.  I would also like to delete some of the files are no longer needed.  I think that some of my iTune files have been left out due to lack of space.  It seems that every time that I have access to my iTunes library that it backs up the session, and that means there are layers of libraries being backed up.  I don't want to remove the original library and I noticed that there are layers of folders previous library, previous library eating.  I do not know the importance of these and do not want to recover as much of my iTunes library I can.

  Just drag and drop. Nothing more complex than that, of course, you will have to format the external hard drive first using disk utility. The Mac OS extended (journaled) format and then drag and drop.

• You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

  I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

  You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

• How can I copy music from an external hard drive in a folder of music on my Mac

  I used to have a Zune and all my music (about 5000 songs) was on my pc.  I copied all this music on a responsible and external hard drive to my iTunes library on my Mac, but I can't play unless I connect the external hard drive for Mac.  Whenever I try, I get the! and a message that the file is not found.

  Is it possible to download the songs from the external hard drive in a folder on my Mac so iTunes will be able to locate them?

  With the drive connected, open iTunes. Click the file menu and organize the library.
