  How can I copy all the 18 000 pictures on my imac to an external hard drive to give to my daughter and keep them all on my imac

  Your daughter have a Mac and use Photos? If so just copy your library of Photos to SMT, it must be formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with the defined property is ignored. Then she can use the SMT library or copy it on his Mac.

  If she doesn't have a Mac do the following:

  1 - Create a new folder on the external drive.

  2 - Select all photos in the library (in the window of Photos).

  3. Select the file ➙ ➙ export export Original unmodified for XXXXX items menu option.

  

  4. in the format of subfolder select Export window = name of the time

  

  5. in the next window, select the folder that you created on the external drive as the destination of export and export all your photos to this. Photos at every moment in your photo library will be put in a folder with the date of that moment and this issue will be put on the EHD in the folder that you created.
  

• I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

  I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

  Hi Phil,

  If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

  You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

  Kind regards

• Really slow copying files to iMac to Seagate external HARD drive

  I have an iMac mid-2011 running El Capitan, and I'm having a problem copying through large files to my TB 5 Seagate external hard drives.  The copy process is so slow that it is useless to try to back up files more.  Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?  I found a thread from 2013, mentioned that Spotlight indexing is the problem, but no luck so far.  Anyone got any ideas?  Thank you!!!

  What size is the drive? How are you connected to it? How big are the files?

• iMac 5 k: external hard drives (no SSD), Thunderbolt 2 vs 3 USB?

  Hello

  I just bought a new iMac 5K with 3 t of Fusion in the car and I am looking for an external drive make backups via Time Machine. I'll go for a drive of 3 t, not SSD.

  I wonder if it's worth buying a thunderbolt drive 2, as some one in a store told me that the reader go any faster than a USB 3 thanks to its native speed. Is this true? a USB 3 drive will even work or there is no difference in speed between the two devices?

  Thank you

• Cannot save files from the iMac on external hard drive

  Hello. I recently bought an iMac 27 inches 5 k retina and I can't save files to the iMac on my external hard drive, which is a 1 to Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex. I formatted the hard drive before, so I can use it on Mac and PC. It works fine with my Macbook Pro. But not on my iMac. What could be the problem and how can I solve this problem? I don't want the hassle of the backup of my hard drive and reformatting, because there a lot of files already on it. Help, please

  Pray tell what is the format?

  What happens when you try to copy files?

  Mac can read but cannot write to NTFS without special software.

• After the upgrade to El Capitan I can't write on the external hard drive to NTFS format more

  I have an external hard drive formatted in NTFS, I used some Mavericks and could read and write on it without problem, after I installed El Capitan today I can't do more, not this external hard drive is read-only. The problem is that it is full of my data and I can't just format as journaled. What I can do and why it worked fine before?

  You need to upgrade or replace the software you used to write on NTFS volumes and should put a copy of your data to a second drive in case one you have fails for any reason unrelated.

• Implementation of new iMac in late 2006 iMac and external hard drive

  I have a late 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz intel core 2 duo with 2.5 GB which I Lion 10.7.5.  I don't think I can improve operating systems, or more if they are not compatible.  I have an external hard drive that stores my photos, music etc I just ran out of space on iMac.  I decided to upgrade to the new iMac.  I thought that I would be able to plug in my external hard drive which has also my Time Machine backup and all the news would move to the new iMac.  However, the external hard drive is Firewire 800.  I connect it to the old iMac with adapter on the Firewire 400 port.  The new iMac has USB3.

  1. How can I connect external drive to the new iMac?  You can get a Firewire 800 cable USB3 (online research I don't think)

  2 read online it seems to say that you need to update your software on your old iMac to match the new iMac otherwise the time Machine can not read information correctly.  It is not possible on the old iMac, what should I do?

  I'm looking at my beautiful new iMac and the have not yet enabled.

  The cable would probably be Thunderbolt to FireWire, check the available adapters

  to see what should be the part. You would not upgraded an outdated old

  Mac for a last OS X when he cannot go. Use the Migration Wizard or

  migrate after installation. Some of these older applications or documents created

  can be updated easily; Some may require conversion. Depending on your files.

  The manual method is sometimes preferred. A new computer may balk

  a lot of stuff which is reduced to an antique.

• How to move data from iMac to 3 TB Stor.E Canvio external HARD drive

  Hi guys,.

  First post, new to all this.

  I bought a Toshiba 3 to Stor.E Canvio external hard drive to get a load of movies and music out of my iMac.

  I plugged it in, the iMac seems to recognize, so I tried to drag and drop in the folder on the hard drive, but it leaves nothing.

  Can someone give me some advice on how to move things from my iMac to the new hard disk?

  Thank you very much, looking forward to hear from you.

  Hello

  As far as I know the HARD and the NTFS file format disc media.
  If you want to use it in Mac, you must re-formatted the system filesystem HFS + for Mac compatibility.

• I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices.

  I have a Macbook air running OS X El Capitan. I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive. But when I look in the Finder, nothing is available for shared devices. I don't know if I need to restart the time Capsule or change the wireless setting, etc. ?

  Please advise...

  The TC appears in airport utility? If not then it is probably not part of your network or is lost... upgrade installed you El Capo because there a lot of questions.

  What is the TC plugged into the network by ethernet? And configured properly? Are you to internet via the TC... but can not see his drive... that would be typical?

  Have you set Finder preferences to display the network drives? Apple keeps making it difficult for some unknown reason.

  You actually have to mount the drive TC if it appears under shared... it still may not appear if you double click on it. Under the search box on the top of the right hand you see Connect (As) box, type the name or IP address of the TC in there... Make sure that you save the password from your keychain.

  I try to use my Time Capsule as external hard drive

  For the storage of the files it is fine.

  For the execution of direct files for an application in the Mac, you are very likely to damage or corrupt the file at some point.

  And how do you do backups? Time Machine can't help you... it won't work.

  Backup is crucial, especially if you do things apple say not to do... That is to say move your photos or the iphoto library to the TC and try to use direct from there... expect any day to need a resumption of the library.

• External hard drive to upgrade to El Capitan - big mistake! How to uninstall it?

  I don't have a lot of space on my macbook, it gives the possibility, I put the upgrade on my external hard drive. Serious mistake. I can't uninstall - can anyone help?

  Do you mean that you have installed El Capitan on the outside so that you can now start the external in El Capitan or you can't find the Setup file of El Capitan? If the first case, simply erase the external. If the latter, while the outside might be the target for the installation, the installer would always be in the Applications folder on the drive you started from, probably while downloading internally. You'd look in the Applications folder to "install OS X El Capitan."

  Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

  Hello

  I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

  Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

  I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

  If it's a NTFS formatted disk, then you must update the Paragon NTFS of Seagate driver (available on their support site).
