  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

• How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  How to transfer data from laptop to external hard drive?

  my model is vgn-cr323.

  Thanks in advance

  Let me provide you with General information on how you can transfer data from your computer to an external drive.

  To transfer the data, plug the USB cable into the correct port. Usually, your computer will know that he has a new disc attached and a pop box up will warn you. It will scan to determine what to do with the new connection and your computer will assign a drive letter (for example, drive G: and so on.) This will allow you to transfer data to the external hard drive just like you would move files on your internal hard drive.

  Once you have the USB cable plugged into your computers port (and the other end plugs into the external drive) you can now start to save files you want on the external hard drive.

  Open the item (s) or folder (s) you want to transfer or save on your external hard drive. There are two ways to save external hard disk 1). If you have only one or two things to save, you can open each item, click on file / record under... and choose the letter/drive (for example, drive G corresponding to that of your external hard drive, click Save.) This he recorded on the external hard drive.

• 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 backup my bookmarks on an external hard drive?

  Original title: hot to save my favorites on an external hard drive

  probably one simple question to others, but I would like to save my favorites on my external hard drive. How do I do that?

  Assuming you are asking about Favorites in Internet Explorer, the following comes from Internet Explorer Help (and then search for "Export Favorites").  It describes how to export your Favorites to a file:

  Import or export favorites in Internet Explorer

  Favorites, also known as bookmarks, are a convenient way to organize and find webpages that you visit frequently. If you use Internet Explorer on several computers, you can save your Favorites from one computer, and then import that list to another computer.

  To export favorites
  Follow these steps on the computer on which you export your Favorites from.

  Click to open Internet Explorer.

  Click the Favorites button, click the arrow next to the add to Favorites button, and then click Import and export.

  In the import/export settings dialog box, click Export to a file, and then click Next.

  Select the Favorites check box, and then click Next.

  Select the folder that you want to export your Favorites to and then click Next.

  By default, Internet Explorer creates a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder. If you want to use a name other than bookmark.htm file or store the Favorites exported in a different folder, specify the new file and the name of the folder.

  Click Export. If you already have a file of the same name, Internet Explorer will ask you to replace it. If you want to replace the file, or click on no and enter a new file name, click Yes.

  Click Finish.

  Note
  If the folder you select cannot be written, as the Documents of another user folder, the export will fail. Repeat the export with another folder.

  To import favorites
  Follow these steps on the computer that you want to import your Favorites to.

  Click to open Internet Explorer.

  Click the Favorites button, click the arrow next to the add to Favorites button, and then click Import and export.

  In the import/export settings dialog box, click Import from a file, and then click Next.

  Select the Favorites check box, and then click Next.

  By default, Internet Explorer is important from a file called bookmark.htm in your Documents folder, but you can tell it to import favorites that are saved under another name. Click Browse and select a file, type a location and a file name to import, or click next to accept the default value.

  Select the folder where you want to place the imported Favorites, and then click Import.

  Click Finish.

  Notes
  To share or transfer Favorites from one computer to another, export or copy the Bookmark.htm file to a disk or flash drive. You can then import your favorites of the disc or the flash drive on the new computer.

  Favorites from previous versions of Internet Explorer can be imported in this version.

  To print your list of favorites, open Bookmark.htm in Internet Explorer and then click Print.

• How backup complete photos and catalog on external hard drive?

  I want to backup my entire LR library on an external drive for security. I want the backup to include photos as well as all the metadata of. I can't do it, and I can't find a similar question and answer on the forum. I am able to 'Export' pictures on my external hard drive, but the metadata file that gets exported is unreadable.

  Please advise me how to do this simple and necessary procedure. Thanks in advance.

  Two steps to be completed-

  1. When you close the Lightroom program you should let make a backup of the CATALOG . OFTEN!

  This is defined in the catalog preferences [Ctrl + Alt +] [Ctrl/Cmd + Alt + comma]

  

  The catalog stores everything you do in the Lightroom program! including metadata.

  AND save backups of the catalog to another physical disk (NOT in the same folder as the Lightroom program!)

  2. your original images must be 'Backed-up' or copied to a second location on a different physical drive your chosen method (and not by Lightroom)

  Mac users can use {Time Machine}, PC users can use {SyncBack, Free File Sync, etc.)

  * It is usually not necessary to 'Export' all images unless you have a specific purpose - for example to post on Facebook, Pinterest, web page, printer, etc..

  There is no object in the export of images from archive on your computer, if Lightroom has a catalogue of work!

• 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.

  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.

• How to reset the password forgotten on external HARD drive

  Hello

  I forgot the password of my external hard drive.
  How can I reset this?

  It has all my photos out there I want to come back.

  The external HARD drive comes with software that the password. Have you used this software?

  I m not very well what HARD drive you have exactly, but in the case of the password disk HARD unknown could be deleted, so I guess that by using such software.

  But I'm afraid, this is not possible and if yes, then secure files could serve more than m.

  I say it in a different way: password protection would be useless if you can remove any unknown or forgotten password. Don't you think?
