How do I move files HD internal to external hard drive

My internal HD has about 21 remaining G that prevents me from creating a slide show with music.  I anticipate the purchase of an external hard drive to free up space on my internal HD, which automatically backs up everything.  I would also like to delete some of the files are no longer needed.  I think that some of my iTune files have been left out due to lack of space.  It seems that every time that I have access to my iTunes library that it backs up the session, and that means there are layers of libraries being backed up.  I don't want to remove the original library and I noticed that there are layers of folders previous library, previous library eating.  I do not know the importance of these and do not want to recover as much of my iTunes library I can.

Just drag and drop. Nothing more complex than that, of course, you will have to format the external hard drive first using disk utility. The Mac OS extended (journaled) format and then drag and drop.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

    If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

    I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

  • How can I move my iTunes Library to External Hard Drive?

    I googled cela but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

    I want to leave my iTunes library in all my Windows PC for a hard drive external and I want to keep it there because it does not fit on my new Macbook Air. I'm happy to plug every time that I would use my iTunes library.

    I found the instructions step by step online, but I would like to know what happens if you never had the option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked. This way only future additions will be copied in my folder or it will copy all my previous music? I took a peek in the folder and my latest addition isn't here so I guess that it copies only future additions to the library. Is this correct?

    If so, how to get all my music in one folder so I can copy it to my hard drive? (Yes, I confess that my music seems to be scattered in my PC)

    How can I identify the name of the invisible file for a backup file successfully to an external hard drive USB2 separate?  I use Windows Vista backup program (Service Pack 2), and I need to do backups plus two from other computers on the same external hard drive.  To do this, I think I would need to identify each backup file separate I know which file to specify if I need to do a restore.

    How can I accomplish this? The program does not seem to give me the ability to specify a file to which to write the backup during a given session files.  In addition, I do not understand why I can not see the file name in Windows Explorer - my files options are defined to be able to view hidden and system.  Would be grateful for any help you can provide, tonight if possible.   Best regards, Oliver for Norm

  • 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). I download a software defrag and defragmented my hard drive using fast (the software is O & O Defrag). I tried on another computer and got the same error. Is it a hardware problem. 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.

    I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

    Three points:

    1. software (Real Player or any other) should generally not be on
    external hard drives. It can cause problems. So you shouldn't do it.

    2 move a program from one drive to another (external or not) is
    difficult. This is because besides that the software itself, there is
    usually many references to it and its location in | Windows, in the
    Registry and elsewhere. Search and replace all of these references is
    very hard. There is a software that is supposed to do, but in my
    experience, none of this works perfectly. I recommend strongly against
    it.

    3. move media files is easy. You can move the files to a disk
    to another exactly like you would move them from one folder to another.
    There are several ways, but cut-and - paste and drag - move are the
    may be simpler and more common. If you do not know how
    write again for more information.

  • How to move Photo videos to an external hard drive?

    Short videos pile up in my PHOTO program and want to spend 129 of them in an external hard drive... the export function does not allow me to set the location for the export... which I find strange, after I selected all of the files to be transferred. Everyone has understood how to do this without resorting to individual transfers of each file?

    I'm on a laptop Mac Pro with El Captain running and Photo Version 1.3 (350.23.0). It should be simpler than that... not?

    Export requires two steps:

    • Select first quality, the regime, the regime of subfolder, and then click 'export' of file naming.
    • Now, you will see a file selector Panel to select the location on your external hard drive in the Finder.

  • SOS! HOW CAN I MOVE MY PROJECT PPCS6 IN ANOTHER HARD DRIVE?

    Help, please!

    I have the first of my documentary in 10 days and it is not yet finished. I worked full time... but HARD DISC of the PC makes weird noises and often fails causing the computer restart... I'm afraid of that HARD drive is about to break up permanently soon.

    I can't risk and I bought a new HARD drive... but I'm not sure of my PPCS6 project will work well if I start working in a new HARD drive.

    I read all along and only solution I found is to the 'project leader'... but then it says "size of project result (estimate): 330 GB"... who is just crazy.»

    I'm now back up the preview of the project files folder to the new HARD drive, but I don't know that he's going to be enough.

    Please, I beg you! Any who put little light in this complicated situation!

    How can I continue to work in my project to a new HARD drive and finish my documentary?

    Thanks in advance for your help, it is really necessary now!

    Miguel

    Welcome! Yes, the project file contains everything you have changed: the sequence, effects, and transitions that you have applied, and also titles that you have created. If you open the project copied on the same pc with the same version first, but HARD drive different, the project will work the same as it used to.

    First also offers a lot of customization, as rendering, effect presets, keyboard presets, presets layout sequence, custom workspace (the window layout) that are not only related to a project, but to the program in general. You can save these files too. in the folder

    User > Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 8.7 or 6 > user profile >

    You find presets for effects (.prfpset)

    Keyboard layouts (file Win)

    Personalized workspace (record layout)

    However, this is only relevant if you reinstall first or your entire system or you want to work in another computer with the same settings.
