  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 copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

• 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.

Record of the family place of the Windows XP Setup CD in the hard disk of the computer and install the wizard by clicking "Start", click "My computer," double-click the CD icon in the window my computer, double-click the "ValueAdd", by double-clicking on the folder "Msft", by double-clicking "Ntbackup" and clicking on "NTBackup.msi."

• 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 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?

• How to convert wma to mp3 on external hard drive file

  I have a new version of osxe1 mac 10.11.2 capitan how to convert wma files into mp3 files that are on my external hard drive so my mac can copy on my iTunes

  http://www.mediahuman.com/audio-converter/ - free.  Says it does WMA. I have not used it so try at your own risk...

  Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html - I don't know if this will make WMA

  All2Mp3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - limited success with WMA

  Flip4mac - need version payware intermediary that allows you to convert.  Use with Quicktime player.  Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv - the free version will allow QuickTime play, but not to convert Windows Media files.

  After installation, a new component of Flip4Mac will appear in system preferences.  Make sure that you set the boxes to make sure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime format.

  VLC - not really a converter but will do a bit on the menu export.  Can be slow to be converted and there will be a learning curve.

  Explore online converters when you download a file in a format and download in another.

  I do not know if your computer can run Audion 3 I think I used to use it to convert WMA.
