• My external hard drive has changed its Mac format to NTFS by itself. If anyone else has experienced this?

  I would post screenshots, but I'm currently back up backup (lol) my hard drive to another drive so I can reformat the drive. Anyway, today I plugged my Toshiba Caniva 1 TB external to some organization. I went to delete something (Cmd + delete) and nothing happened. So, I tried to drag and drop it into the basket and received a message saying that the file cannot be removed. It's weird, I thought. So, I open disk utility and discover that my external hard drive has decided to change to NTFS on its own. I tried to eject and reconnect it - that did not work. I tried to restart - which did not work. I thought that my USB hub could be a problem - nope. The only things that have changed since I last used my outside is that I changed the battery in my MacBook, put in an SSD and upgraded to El Capitan. I don't see how one of these could cause this but I thought I would mention it. Anyone who has something similar happens? Thank you.

  The reader not to not reformat in NTFS. If the disk has been reformatted would vanish all your data. I suspect that before you upgrade to El Capitan you ran a third party app that would allow you to use NTFS formatted disk. Once you upgrade to El Capitan the app is no longer compatible with your new operating system. You must download and install an upgraded version of your application that supports El Capitan. Or, you can copy all data from the disk and reformat then for your Mac.

  Don't know what your problem is - log on to Skydrive and recover the files that you need them, or download the app to Skydrive and they will all be uploaded at the same time.

• How to read the Notes of Apple recovered from the HARD drive has crashed

  I tried to use DiskWarrior 5 to repair the hard drive that crashed on the previous laptop I was using (Macbook Pro mid-2010 7.1) last year.  I was running OS X 10.9 Mavericks for sure, and I'm almost certain that I had updated to OS X 10.10 Yosemite at the time where the hard drive crashed.  DiskWarrior does not completely fixing the reader, but I was able to recover most of the important files that I needed back.

  The only thing that I still have to get back that I really wanted were my Notes of Apple (not sticky).  I could save a few files com.apple.Notes with these files:

  NotesV1.storedata

  NotesV1.storedata - wal

  NotesV1.storedata - shm

  I tried to add the .html extension and open it in TextEdit, and Safari, and I see a lot of code, but none of my actual notes.  I noticed at the top of the NotesV1.storedata file, it says: SQLite 3 format, which leads me to believe that SQLite might serve to open/decode what I so that I can actually read.  I don't know anything about SQLite except that it can be opened and used in the Terminal, and it is already installed by default on my current computer which is a Macbook Pro mid-2012 (9.1).

  Here's a sample of what I see if it helps.

  

  Someone who knows what I'm doing and who also knows what they are doing can give me instructions step by step on how I can open these files with SQLite in the terminal, or decode, or something.  And no, unfortunately I do not have a back-up hard drive anywhere, and I was using iCloud in time.

  SQLite is a database format.

  Your Mac must have an integrated tool to read these files, it's a Terminal command that has this manual...

  https://developer.Apple.com/library/Mac/documentation/Darwin/reference/ManPages/ man1/sqlite3.1.html

  If it's too hard, you can try an app like...

  https://www.sqlitepro.com/

  .. .or one of the many that are discussed at...

  http://StackOverflow.com/questions/100959/Mac-SQLite-Editor

  You must open the "NotesV1.storedata", you may have to search in different tables to find relevant data, the data will be broken so that the pieces are unique, it is usually how are structured databases, if you need everything intact (as dates change etc) you need to perform queries to retrieve relevant items. Otherwise, you can export in CSV or other formats via this application.

  I recommend you change the original & working on a copy, just in case you save the changes.

  I don't think that this database is encrypted, but it is possible so post back if all of this sounds like gibberish. Also keep in mind that the data should not have images or other multimedia files that can be put in place, sometimes they are kept in databases as files.

  Another option is to find the location that the Notes.app stores these databases in your user account, you may be able to place these copies & get the app to read. Ideally, you would have a similar version of the operating system installed to do this.

• External hard drive has stopped working.

  I have a 500 GB WD external hard drive book that has stop working. He is no more, but I know that it is always powered because I can see that the lights are still coming when I plug in the power cord inside. No one knows anyway I can get access to the drive so that I can get my data on the disk. It was about 80% full and I was trying to take data out of the car so that I could make cleaner. It was not terribly fragmented, but I need to take some of the data out of the car that's why I was burning there CD so that I could do when he leaves. Now I can't access the drive at all. Does anyone know of a way I can access the drive so I can get my data?

  The only thing I've heard to try and get a non-filature spinning disk long enough to get the data off the drive is to put the drive in the freezer, let cool completely, and then quickly remove it and try to make it work.  Sometimes this will release bearings long enough to allow him to run for a few minutes before it warms so that you can get the data.  No guarantees, of course.

  Good luck

  HERE, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME:

  I turn off the pc and I keep the hard drive is connected.

  I start windows. No problems so far.

  I open windows Documents, I want access to my hard drive, and first of all, she has another name, not the one I gave to her when I formatted, it (like two weeks there are other problems, but that's another story) and when I click on it an error message appears saying that my local drive has been damaged and cannot be opened and is necessary for formatting.

  I tried to unplug it after the shutdown of the PC (when the PC is on I can't unplug it because that always seem to be used, even if everything is closed) because I thought that during the start-up in somewhere so it might be confused with a drive of the computer, for three days, he stopped to do today after I plugged it again.

  I unplugged and plugged a different device, you see correctly, so I unplugged and re-connected to my PC, now we see normally.

  I'm ok with this, but I am aware that it is not normal behavior, what should I do?

  Thank you

  Since the watch test failed, the hard drive must be replaced. If it is under warranty, you can take it to the Toshiba service center to get it replaced. Another thing, the new hard drive is the recommended option.

  Before in both cases, make sure that you back up all of your important and personal data from the hard drive.

• I have an external hard drive that I formatted using vista. I can't read this same hard drive with xp

  I recently formatted a WD external hard drive via my computer vista laptop. I downloaded several MB of files on the hard drive. My Vista laptop crashed and I need a new hard drive. I'm trying to access these files through my XP laptop. I see the DRIVE - "D". However, when I try to access the drive, what happens with "the disk in drive d is not formatted" do you want to format it now?

  That fixed my problem. I can now access this drive.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  It seems that there is a problem with the files on the external hard drive, even the mac os is not able to copy the files from the external hard drive.

• 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.

• Do I need a specific external hard drive to back up an iMac or I can use?

  I learn by an advisor to apple support I need to update the software on my mac. Before doing that I have to back up using an external hard drive. Can I use any external hard drive or do I need a specific which is compatible.

  You can use the time Capsule's internal drive or one regular, but will probably have to reformat a disk that is not specifically intended for Macs. Except otherwise stated, Time Machine and other products that require that the backup drive be formatted as Mac OS extended will not be able to go back to a dedicated NAS.

• Hello. I created a folder music on my external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I can now access the music through my media library.  How can I change the folder when I make new purchases to iTunes easily without doing it one by one

  I created a folder music on an external hard drive connected to my asus router.  I copied my music from my iTunes library in this folder access and can now my kodi media network.  How I updated the folder when I do new iTunes purchase without having to do it one by one thanks

  You can use a backup tool that updates only modified files.  You don't say what kind of computer you use.

  ITunes is actively using media on the external hard drive so you can replace it. Simply copy the media to one other player does not have iTunes it use it.  iTunes is probably still using media to your internal drive.

• External hard drive does not work. Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  My external hard drive works. I tried to plug and when I tried to open it, it says to format the drive until I could use it. Everything works well as when I plugged the USB icon shown on the screen. When I check the disk management, it showed that the partition of the drive is there.

  I tried to change the drive letters, but still having the same problem. I also tried to run the disk check on the command prompt and the properties of the drive, but it still can not because there is error popping up saying that the disk check cannot be performed because Windows cannot access the disk.

  Is there another way I could solve the problem without formatting the external hard drive?

  I tried the first step in troubleshooting the hard drive, but it gives a
  error in saying that "hardware changes might not have been detected.

  So I tried the second method, and when I click on the "Check now" button his
  gives an error saying that "the disk check cannot be performed because .
  Windows can not access the disk".".

  So is there any other way or option?

  Thank you

• I moved my photos on an external hard drive to give me space - now Lightroom can't find them - how do I resolve this issue please?

  I moved my photos on an external hard drive - lightroom 5 can't find them - I know not how to address this issue.  Can someone help me with this please?

  Right-click (Ctrl-click on Mac) on a parent folder and choose the location of the update folder.

  Then navigate to where your photos are stored.
