My mac won't let me transfer all files on an external hard drive.

Why not?  What is the error you get when needed?

How the drive is formatted?

If it is formatted for Windows, OSx impossible natively to write about it.

    I bought an external hard drive and copied some elements but did not cut their.  I did a back up on my external hard drive, but even once did not move them. I did the simple troubleshooting and it doesn't work.  I'm trying to find the original by right clicking the? on the folder LR and once I find the file it tells me that Lightroom has this file already in the catalog - and I want to merge. I tried one and it disappeared or moved. Help!

    Use the file Explorer to see if the images are still in their original location. I suspect that move instead of copy them. This can happen if you drag you the.

    I found that it is best to use either right click on a file or folder name and select copy then right click on the drive-destination folder and select Paste or use keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste folder and files from one disk to another. The keyboard shortcuts are the CTRL + key C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste in the selected destination folder-drive.

  • I bought a new external hard drive, but it does not appear in the library mode.

    One of my external hard drives is almost full. I would like to move some of the photos from the old to the new one that I just bought. The new external drive appears in Windows Explorer, but does not appear in Lightroom.

    I use Windows 7 and Lightroom CC.

    Hi Loyce1023,

    In order to see the most recent external drive in Lightroom, you must either import some images of the most recent disc.

    Or move some images of the old drive to the more recent, outside of Lightroom, and then reconnect the images from Lightroom.

    Kind regards

  • Snow Leopard on external hard drive, but with the help of El Capitan on my iMac 5 K?

    Is this possible to do? I have an old hard drive lying around, and I want to use older programs that are not supported by the newest OSX.

    Can I simply install snow leopard on this external hard drive and just boot up to it through my new iMac end of 2015?

    I know its possible with a virtual machine, but are there other ways to do it right?

    Thank you!!!

    It is only possible when running Mac OS X Server 10.6 inside a virtual machine.

    After a hard drive crash and recover most of my files on an external hard drive which eventually became my only internal, but because I live on an island in South America and there's hardly anyone on the island I live who can help other that a friend, I took a trip to Miami to visit the genius bar and they did a new install of Capitan which I don't really like by the way.  In any case, I though I had lost all my iPhoto library, but I managed to find my photos. Only now I have two libraries... the iPhoto with images from my Photos on Capitan and 8 years.  Is it possible to consolidate them in a library?  And can I still use RAW to be able to edit photos? aIso, y at - it a tutorial for the Photos?

    In the future more facts and less editorial help here

    SO now, we know all about how you feel but nothing on your system or your problem

    What version of El Captain do you have (10.11.3 is the current version with Photos 1.3)

    You cannot merge libraries without third party software - Photos of power can merge pictures libraries

    You can migrate iPhoto libraries to libraries of Photos by dragging Photos icon in the Dock

    When you first launched the Photos it has migrated the last used for Photos iPhoto library

    I hope this will help, but to get specific answers, you need to provide real information and not feelings

  • Windows 7 recognizes the external hard drive, but I can't open to view files.

    I have a portable Seagate external hard drive that I have connected to my Windows 7 pc.  The computer recognizes the drive when I go to Control Panel-Hardware and Sound-devices & Printers (it happens that the laptop).  I can't see the drive when I go to the Start Menu of the computer.  He was to drive L while it was working properly.  I checked the driver and tried to update the driver, but when I do it says that the latest version of the driver is already installed.  I tried to use the troubleshooter, but it does not recognize the problem.  I searched the web for solutions, but were unable to find answers.  Help, please.

    Is there a stand-alone of Seatools?  I think I'd get ahold of stand alone drive Diagnostics and run them.  If you moved this player so he was reading or writing, it could have caused a head collision since the read/write heads are a tiny fraction of an inch of the surface of the disc.  And then sometimes they just wear out like what either with coins set in motion.  They are usually less than a year, but it happens sometimes.  I would check to see if it is still under warranty.  If so, maybe Seagate could help you.

    Good luck.

  • Windows 7 detect my external hard drive, but does not allow me to access it, or see it

    I have a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive (I threw the box so I don't know what are the specs, but the things written on the back of the room are: ITE HDD E145163 D33033 KCC-REM-DNT-Canv63 N723 Z218 v63600-C 1 TB DC + 5V 1 0 04/12). I remember he said it was compatible on Windows 7, but this doesn't seem to be the case at the moment.

    I plugged my hd; Windows knows it is there and installed the software for it. But I can't save anything in it or access to the workstation. I looked for solutions to this, but nothing has worked. I tried to change the name of the driver [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-add-or-remove-a-drive-letter] by but apparently I can't because my hard drive is a primary partition. How can I use my hard drive with Windows 7 on my HP 2009f computer? : c.

    [Btw, I properly formatted the hard drive on my Macbook Pro]

    Formatting a Mac o/s will be not visible/usable under a win operating system, you would need to delate all partitions, if it is visible and the format in victory

    You cannot change the drive letter of the system drive

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.

  • I can't erase my external hard drive as my Mac told me!

    I have a Fantom external hard drive 1 TB which is my drive Time Machine for years.  Sometimes it disconnects itself, but it has reconnected always very well.  But today as I got an error message that says that the drive could not be fixed by disk utility and would not appear as a disk in the Finder.  Utility disk SEES the drive but can't get it cannot eject it and can't fix it.  I'm ok with totally annihilate and nine.  She had backups, and I can easily do a new backup at any time.  The problem is that the disk utility will not mount it so I can delete it, but when I try just to erase, it cannot do without mount everything first!  I'm in this catch-22: How can I wipe the drive and start over when disk utility can't do?  It also will not mount on my Windows laptop, so I can't wipe it clean there either, reformat it on my Mac.  Anyone have an idea how I can just wipe my own drive so that I can use it on my Mac again?

    UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POSTER:

    I was finally able to remedy using Terminal Server by following the instructions described here:

    http://Apple.StackExchange.com/a/105674

    It reads in part:

    You can force unmount a disk by running the following command in Terminal:

    diskutil unmountDisk force /Volumes/VOLUMENAME 

    Replace VOLUMENAME by the name of a volume on the disk that you are trying to take it apart.

    I had first to use "diskutil list" first to find out what the Mac called this external hard drive because it was RECOGNIZED but would not mount or dismount.  Instead of using "/ Volumes/VOLUMENAME", my Mac called the drive in question "/ dev/disk2.  My full order was "diskutil unmountDisk force/dev/disk2".

    It worked immediately, and then disk utility was very quickly able to erase the disc.  Once erased, he mounted again very well!  So if anyone has the same problem, try this!
