  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• In iMovie 9.0.4 How can I move events to an external hard drive?

  Note: I am writing this issue on behalf of my daughter, who is an old iMac running 10.6.8.   His version of iMovie is 9.0.4.

  She has about 50 GB, events which occupies about one-third of its HD.  There is an external hard drive with lots of available storage.

  How to pass these events to the external hard drive?

  Thank you

  Owen

  For a long time I used iMovie 9 but this link to the help info gives instructions: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

  Its probably safer to copy rather than move events (unless you already have a backup) just in case something goes wrong.

• How to copy my photos on an external hard drive?

  I'm trying to move some of my photos on my Mac on my external hard drive. So far, I've tried exporting but it fails everytime and I read on the internet, each site help and can not understand one of them.

  I've only had my Mac a couple of weeks after laptops Windows all my life and it's really frustrating that one is as simple as copy and paste pictures of their folder on my hard drive!

  So please can someone give me simple instructions on how to get my pictures on my hard drive?

  How did the external hard drive formatted and connected to your Mac? It must be formatted for OS X Extended (journaled) with the property set to be ignored.

  

  Also what system version are you running under which version of Photos?

  There is no need to be terriefied. The "dreaded"? "isn't so bad.

  The best way to go about this is:

  (1) in Lr / Grid View / files Panel (left side) put all your image files under folder of one of their parents. If this is already the case, you can skip this step. To do this, just create a new folder and name it descriptive. Then drag-and - drop your image in addition to this newly created folder files. This will make all the image files subfolders in the folder of one of their parents.

  (2) close Lr. In the Finder of Mac / Win Explorer to move the newly created parent folder (wil together all its subfolders) on external hard drive you. This is important: Do not rename the files or change the structure of folder at this point.

  (3) Lr re - open. In the files Panel, you will see the | "dreaded" "? -don't panic! Right click (i.e. click the right - as opposed to left - button you rmouse) parent folder he that you created earlier and now shows the question mark and select . Navigate to the location of the folder on your external drive parent and select it. LR will find all subfolders on its own.

  That's all there is to it.

  PS: in fact the text is not . But the procedure is the same.

• How can I delete locked files to external hard drive

  I use an external hard drive to back up my laptop.  I did a number of full backups using PC Backup Pro.  I find that I am ending up with a number of files that have names like "2bfee8a4e34dc7b2bb247207".  All of these issues appear to be Windows/MS Office program files.  I do not need them taking place on my external hard drive and delete.  Some of the icons folder contain also see a lock on the top of the file and not others.

  When I try to delete these files, a window opens saying "you do not currently have permission to access this folder, click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.  When I ' click to continue ', I don't then get a window caying "you refused permission to access this folder.  To have access... Use the Security tab.

  I have to after the opening of the Security tab, then click Advanced, click the owner tab.  I'll see an owner like "Account Unknown(S-1-5-21-3029930470-4275679664-342561093-1007)" listed.  I tried to change the owner name 'administrators (Ellen-PC\Administrators)' or Ellen (Ellen-PC\Ellen), which are the names appear in the owner to change to: box.  Some of the files won't let me make the change.  On the other, if she will allow me to make the change of ownership, I still cannot remove the files/folders.

  This is getting very frustrating, because I I would like to delete these folders without having to reformat the external hard drive.  I want to make room for newer backups.

  Hello

  Method 1:

  I suggest you to take possession of the file before you delete it and check if it helps. To do so follow the link below:

• Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

  Hello

  Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
  "Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
  Press F2 to assume. »

  I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

  Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

  I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

  Help, please

  Pete

  Hello

  This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
  This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
  It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
  It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

  I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
  I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

  Good luck

• How can I recover the files of failed hard drive

  Hello

  Apparently, my hard drive failed on my HP.  I'm running Windows XP with the latest service pack.
  I get a black screen that says "disk error, press ctrl + atl + del to restart".
  Given that it is a 7 year old computer, I don't see the need to put a lot of effort in intensive care there.
  But I would like to get some of the files on the hard drive.
  Can anyone suggest a way to access the contents of the hard drive?  I would like to get some Word, excel, PDF files.  Nothing major.
  Thank you

  Hello

  If the drive has indeed failed then you need professional services which are very expensive. Best
  method would be to contact your local computer store, the other his own service in-house, and have
  check out them the disc. Eventually, they can recover your files and they know all local professional
  services available in your area.
