I changed the settings to backup to an external hard drive, but will not run the backup request
My internal backup HD was full so I did system image on an external hard drive. That has worked well. When I wanted to make a backup on the same drive, I got the message that he could not be executed.

As you go only to transfer data from one to the other files, here's a good option...
Remove the old hard drive and connect it on the new computer using a USB to SATA connector like this...

It is a very useful device to have some kicking around when you need to get data on a drive that does more boot.
You must get permission to access folders on the old disk to the new computer and this is how you do it.
Download the zip on the site below...
.. and it is there that find the link to the zip on the site...
When you run the zip file, it places a new item in the right click menu called 'Take Ownership'
To use it, you highlight the file or the folder on which you want the property, right click and select take ownership.
Then a window will appear and many data authorizations through pretty quickly. When permissions have been granted, the window will close and you will be able to easily access data in the file or the first selected folder...

After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

I went in lightroom and can't find my photos. I lost the link before and did the right click to find and they have been found, but it's different.
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.

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.

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

My big Hard Drive Partition will not be displayed in the Defragmenter
So, it's weird, but when I start my derangementer disc, it will not show my 'c' drive I have 2 drives, a 'C' drive and a drive to "D". D is just for backup, while C is for all program/system files. Then, of course, C must defraged for the computer normally elapse. Does anyone know a good work around or if I can re - install disk from somewhere Defragmenter (please include the link to all sites if you have a method of re-installation). Also, I tried planning as a task and C will not always be displayed.
Hi DanSiroky,
Windows that reports using its built-in algorithms and these standards, drives
do not defragment. However, there are other commands to change how the Defragmenter
reorganizes the files on the disk. 3rd party tools can also be used for added functionality and/or
different methods for the arrangement of the file.Take a look at the links with a similar question.

Need new hard drive, but have not the disks in Windows 7 OS
Recently, I had some problems with my PC and was able to restore the factory settings. Now it seems that my hard drive is bad and needs to be replaced. I have a HP G71-449WM model, produces WA606UA.
Will it also find Windows 7 OS disks somewhere? I didn't need one when I did the restore to factory.
It's the hard drive, which I intend to purchase:
Hello
First of all, the HARD drive in your link is fine, even if you can consider a slightly faster (7200 RPM) - for example, either of the drives on the following links would be very well for your laptop.
The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your & Maintenance Guide.
***************************************************
Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.
1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office). They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.
2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).
An example of a COA label can be seen here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here. The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.
Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

You may need, additional drivers and software are here.

my hard drive cloning will not affect the computer in the new OS?
I currently have a Gateway laptop that is running Windows Vista. The hard drive in the new ASUS that works under Windows 7 I just bought cloning affect or replace 7 with VISTA?
Hello
Yes, it will affect it
It will not work for many reasons
Your Gateway vista is an OEM license and is linked to the original machine on which it is installed
It is not transferable
even if it's a retail license, which is not the case, it would not start as gateway motherboard drivers are installed on the old hard drive
and above all, it will not activate because it is only an OEM license tied to the Gateway Laptop
