  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.

  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.

  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:

• How can I access files on my external hard drive with windows 7 OS, when I attach it to a computer with windows vista?

  When I try to change the permissions, I get an error message: error security application. An error has occurred applying security infromation to root: root, \boot: \bootmgr, root: \System Volume Information access is denied.

  When I open windows Explorer, it shows only startup records and not the user records. All suggestions will be useful. Thank you

  Hi, MBRC,

  1. Where are you trying to change the permissions?

  I suggest that you first take ownership of the drive once you connect to the computer and check if it works.

  To take ownership of a folder

  (a) right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.

  (b) click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

  (c) click on Edit. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (d) click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

  (e) If you want that person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the check box Replace owner subcontainers and objects .

  (f) click OK.

  Troubleshoot "access denied" when opening files or folders

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-access-denied-when-opening-files-or-folders

  If the previous step fails, see if access you files and folders when you connect the drive to any other computer.

  I hope this helps!

• How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

  Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

  How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

  I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

  Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

  Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

  There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
  http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

  The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.
