  My advice make a library of portable split is a general guide, but as such, it has all sorts of details that you may not need.

  I guess you have previously installed iTunes such as library files were in the usual place of C:\Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes but the media were on an external drive, for example in X:\ < Media folder >, and no longer have access to the old library, or are perhaps new to iTunes, then so be it you will need to start over again. If, then hold down the SHIFT key when you launch iTunes. Keep now until you see a prompt to create or choose a library. Click on create and make a new library at the root of the external drive, i.e. as X:\iTunes , where X is the drive letter of the external drive. Once this operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to move the existing media folder within the X:\iTunes\iTunes Media, rename the folder that you moved as say other media to avoid any possible confusion in the future, select the menu with Ctrl + B bar and use file > add folder to library, to import the file to other media in the library. Will everything that iTunes adds to the library be shuffled around. All that remains in the other media will be happy that iTunes does not know what to do with such incompatible media or album art carried out by Windows Media Player. You can sift throigh this, take what you want and use replacements for all players what you keep.

• How to backup EVERYTHING on an external hard drive using Windows Xp professional.

  Hello. I am currently a professional user of Windows Xp and I want to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional. I will soon buy an external hard drive and I want to have a COMPLETE Windows XP upwards [save IT] in my external hard drive. Can someone help me please? As in the steps to do this?

  There is a way to do really well.  You can clone your XP disk as a file and then access it via Virtual PC.  See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/ee656415.aspx you can then use the XP Mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/windows-xp-mode.aspx) and load your old cloned drive (vhd file) as a secondary drive and then you can pull data off of it you want.  There is more info here on its use: www.oehelp.com/OEnWin7.aspx since you get Win7 Pro, XP Mode will be free.

USB external hard drive boot G5 drive is loaded right now is, I don't have the installation provided with my G5 discs.

• No access to an external hard drive

  So I plugged my external hard drive in my macbook to move some files on it but it says "the disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." I clicked on initialize and he said: the hard drive is uninitalised and Mont and partition are grayed out. I ran the option of first aid, but he only said: the operation completed successfully. I am aware of that my external hard drive works because it is blue is lit and I used it a few days ago and it worked fine. I also plugged into another usb key I have and it works perfectly.

  Is there anyway for me to access my files on the external hard drive? I really don't want to lose my photos and files!

  The external hard drive is a tough drive 320 freecom.

  the light means power can get to the case, not the drive past any integrity checking. If the drive is older it may break or it could have been failure, or requires 3rd party software to allow full access, if it is NTFS formatted for windows and you use it on a mac.

  If you do not backup your data may be missing. If you start the boot disk process, you have already started to remove the files and more you try using that drive less whatever it is (if any) can be recovered.

  Freecom offers guarantees of 3 years on their mechanical hard drives but offers no guarantee with recovery of lost data (no company only)

  http://www.Freecom.com/warranty

  If your player is longer than 3 years its not rare that its failure and should be replaced with a new unit.

  In the meantime, you can try a 3rd party solution such as Disk Warrior or rescue for Mac to see if something can be saved, but still no service company forensic or data will always claim that they can do it with any degree of certainty to recover your data.

• If I remove the permission to add back apps stored on external hard drive?

  I'm selling my Mac. To help the sale, I wish I could say that it includes the iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) applications that I bought when new and Aperture 3.  I ask because I don't mean a buyer they will have access to these applications, if this isn't the case. I live in a country where it is expected that when you buy a used computer, it will come with the applications already installed. These 'options', even if they won't use, contribute to the resale value.

  I backed up everything to an external hard drive for x - fer to my next computer, including the applications mentioned. If I scratch out / reformat the hard drive and then the new owner create their own Apple to download Yosemite or El Capitan ID (I'm in Mavericks now) I was able to connect my external drive for Mac, and then copy the apps on his Applications folder so that he would be able to use? I care is no longer using opening myself, having switched to Lightroom and I know that if it is possible these applications would no longer under my ID and that he would not be able to upgrade, but since I've paid for them, I would be able to transmit with the Mac without having to use my Apple ID of the to do.

  Unless you have records of installation for these applications, you can not legally include.

  This applies also to any OS you downloaded from the app store.

  In all cases, licenses for the operating system and applications downloaded on the app store are valid only for the Apple ID used to obtain them, and they are not transferable. If you leave these applications or the operating system, the buyer will not be able to update or reinstall the OS without your ID Apple and your password.

  Thus, you will need to completely erase the hard drive and you can then reinstall the original OS, the computer came with.

• Best external hard drive of programs?

  Hello

  I am a Mac user and I am currently using:

  MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013)

  2.4 GHz Intel Core i5

  8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

  Iris 1536 MB Intel

  OS X El Capitan

  250 GB of storage.

  My Mac storage is almost full, and I am considering buying an external hard drive to free up space on my internal hard drive. However, I wanted to know if you can put programs on an external hard drive and if so, which is the best external hard drive for programs, for the cheapest price.

  I really don't want to pay more than 100 GBP.

  Between 50 and 70 GBP is my ideal price range, however, if there is an external hard drive that is absolutely amazing for a bit before, I can consider buying.

  If you cannot put programs on an external hard drive, which external hard drive is the best for a Mac?

  Furthermore, is it possible to add storage space for my internal drives?

  Thank you and I hope you can help me.

  Most of the programs broadcast their parts through several system directories.  A few programs I've seen work completely in a single directory.  Loading programs on "external" is delicate at best... unless the outside is a complete external operational system in-itself.

  With regard to external hard drives... people give me grief for continue to recommend, but...

  A single hard drive with a single disc is, in my experience, a compromise.  Mediocre quality disks combined with poor quality map interface and this card can do the contents of the drive not except through this controller... re-use of the disk outside this House requires reformat and loss of content.

  I use this external box http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MSTG800U3K/ that allows Exchange in all 2.5 in SATA drive.  The enclosure is of good quality, and you can get better quality discs to be inserted.  So when doen with one disk, exchange for another.  I use mine for player data and images, several clones/backups and test for the new OSXes drives and can use it to any number of other disks.

• Mid 2012 MacBook Pro starts only with the external hard drive

  I have a MacBook 2012 mid Pro and whenever I try to start it only shows the folder with question mark flashing. But, whenever I plug in my external hard drive, it boots. I also tried selecting the boot drive and the interns don't show, but once in the external plug-in, it shows externally as Macintosh HD. I also tried to reinstall OS X but it says I can't you this player.

  Thank you

  While in the drive external hard, that I hope has the same operating system, can you go to utilities utilities disk-file and run a repair of the internal drive and repair permissions? You could also do the same thing in starting mode of recovery-command keys R at startup. Using the recovery disk utilities. If you can't get the internal drive to show everyone, most likely the drive is bad. Then, you will need to replace it.

• HP ProBook 450 G: drive recovery on external hard drive

  Hello!

  I had a few questions.

  I have a HP ProBook G2 450 with Windows 8.1 now, I wanted to create a disk recovery, but on an external hard drive. Is it so that it is not possible to put it on an external hard drive? When I try to make a recovery it says I should use one with at least 16 GB USB Flash drive. So this means that I could not even do a DVD recovery disc?

  And I would also know, if I put teaching 10 Windows (as our University offers), is possible later use the 8.1 Windows recovery disc to return to 8.1?

  Eager to help!

  Marta

  Hello

  Please use a few DVDs or good USB. The USB will be write-protected therfore no point to use the external HARD drive because you will not be able to use your external HARD drive, only read. Normally, you have 2 options: use of DVD or USB.

  Yes, you can use recovery media to go back to your orginal Windows 8.1.

  Note: you can create recovery media once.

  Kind regards.

• Error 0x8007045D when copying files from computer to external hard drive

  I am trying to copy some files from my drive HARD outside., but I get this error (error 0x8007045D: the request could not be performed because of an i/o device error).

  I run windows check disk on my external hard drive, I tried to run windows defrag, but it takes too Lowe and cancel (external HARD disk is 1 TB).

Y at - there any possibility to fix it. Thank you for helping

  Hello Nyfixen,

  1. have you changed the permission for the external hard drive or files you are trying to copy?

  2. you have all important data (files) stored on the external hard drive?

  3. are you able to copy the external hard drive to the computer?

  The Autorun.inf could not be a problem for that. It always seems to be a problem of permission for me. Some hard drives have a jumper on them for write protection. You should check the configuration of jumpers, thank you consult the manual that came with the hard drive for permissions.
