How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?
I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.
(2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)
Hmmm... Never tried, but I "think" it should work. The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.
1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.
2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.
3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change. Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.
Files to be copied.

How can I change lightroom 5 previews smart on the book of mac pro (mbp) when lightroom master image files 5 are on my external hard drive is disconnected from the mbp? So far when I try to disconnect the external hard drive the mbp, I get the pop following window: "external hard drive A" disc could not be ejected because it uses 'Lightroom '. Exit this application and try out this disc again. When I do that and restart Lightroom 5, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom - screen select catalog appears, but does not list my external hard drive A as a choice.
I've been reviewing Adobe's Lightroom Help | Smart web page Previews Lightroom 5 and still have not been able to understand what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
HI Thomas,
Thank you very much for your suggestions! They finally gave me the direction I go solve the problems I had. Basically, the Mac Book Pro based Lightroom irdata files still had thumbnails. Once I removed the and redirected Lightroom external hard disk, smart previews of the external drive work when the player is well off the MBP. Much obliged.
I was wondering if you have any suggestions on how to backup all the files content and related data of Lightroom that exists on the external hard drive to another external hard drive as a backup? Ideally, it would be great if I could be able to launch security HD since the Mac Book Pro and do the work of Lightroom with the backup image files and intelligent previews correctly. Thanks again. Your help has been invaluable.

best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive
best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive
If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.
If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

Windows XP - a problem to transfer big file from laptop on an external hard drive
I have a problem to transfer large files (mail.pst - zipped file - 5Gbyte) of the laptop (Dell Latitude D630) on an external hard drive (WD 320 G - FAT 32) where each time, I got the message "there is not enough free space on the disk" although I did successfully drive clean on both sides and there is enough space on both sides (not less than 25 GB).
Also, I did a checkdisk command and he succeeded, and I use Windows XP
I did several tests to resolve and in the end, I found that I convert the format of external hard drive FAT 32 to NTFS, and then I could successfully transfer the file.
I used the following commands:
(1) command line then chkdsk to repair bad sectors
(2) convert the command line to change the format to FAt 32 to NTFS
Note: For Windows xp, "convert" command will not delete the files from the hard drive

I have Oracle 11 GR 2, installed on my laptop. I would like to create an instance of the database on my laptop, but putting the data files on an external hard drive (USB 2.0 or 3.0). The external hard drive will be still attached to the laptop, whenever the database is used. This is going to be a development machine, recently developed a prototype. Laptop is limited to 150 GB on the local disk and I want to have a database of 1 to on this subject. Is this possible with Oracle 11 g for Windows XP SP2?
I assume that a device attached to the network storage NAS would be the best solution, but I can't fix on my local network.
Thank you

How can I do to get the MS DOS programs? I have more drives. Is it possible to download the programs I had? MS will be able to see that the key is stored somewhere in my computer or external hard drive?
A backup does not recover programs, only data.
If you did a clean install of the program keys that are lost, so you have to install the origonal with all key media programs -
What is an I / Q error? This occurs with the backups using external hard drive SeaGate
We have two external hard drives; a 3Terabyte (don't know how it) Seagate and another whose name escapes me. On the Seagate, I get the message: backup did not complete due to I / Q error. What is I / Q error and how to fix this? If all goes well, not a complicated process.
Thanks for any help. Hope I selected the areas to fix this, below.
Fred, SR.
Win7 64 bit, Office 2010
Hello
I assumed that by I / Q error you mean error e/s? Run chkdsk on the drive Seagate:
Start > Search bar > type cmd right click and select run as administrator
High CMD should now be open, type the following:
CHKDSK x: /r
x involves the reader of your letter, so if your hard drive in question is the letter c, it would be:
CHKDSK c: /r
Restart the system and allow to run chkdsk.
Kind regards

Here's the situation, I reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop when it all of a sudden to stop. Now he cannot start Windows and only shows the Startup Repair tool. IM thinking if I can get my hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install windows in it as a hard drive external. And after installation, I will put the normal back on my laptop as a hard drive. Will this work?
Furthermore, I can't boot any disk installation because the built-in DVD player does not work, also I can not change startup option because I can't access the BIOS, there the password and I do not know. Please someone help! :( Thank you!As a general rule, Microsoft allows not 'officially' most versions of Windows (9 x--> 7) to boot from an external hard drive. However, there could be an exception to this rule. eSATA pregnant use signals to 'SATA' HDD on an "external" port
