  • How to print a list of the movies that I have on an external hard drive

    I have my iTunes on an external hard drive.  I would like to print a list of the movies.  I tried 'print' which causes quicktime and iTunes to open. I tried "select all", "copy", then paste in the text change which causes a spinning endless ball and the eventual system crash.  I guess she's trying to print the actual movies rather than on the list.  Any ideas how to create a list of the contents of a disc and then print this list?  I use OS X on a macbook pro 10.11.5.

    You a run this in Terminal and it will display the names of files in a file on your desktop.

    LS path/to/file > > ~/Desktop/Movies.txt

    Replace the full path to the folder path/to/folder.

  • external hard drive is missing. But drive turn on!

    Hello

    My Iomega external hard drive seems to be missing on my mac. But I see the drive light on when you are connected to the USB port.

    I use an old iMac & an Iomega hard drive that worked without problem. I took travel & when I got home, I connected on the iMac, but I don't see the icon. I find deposit on Finder & also I tried turning / slideshow, external drive on Finder.I see all other connected external drives but not this one. I do not see it listed in the disc utilities. I tried to connect to another Mac & still have the same problem. Can someone tell me what is happening?

    I've never used the Iomega drivers on the mac, but everything worked well. Do I need to download Iomega drivers?

    It seems that the Iomega company is more then what I do and who should I speak?

    I use the last BONES of El capitan.

    Any guidance will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    If possible, try a different port or a different cable; the light in the external hard drive enclosure

    can work OK, while the data flow uses different threads in the cable. In addition, the housing

    (also known as speaker) can have bad elements which could affect the ability of

    the internal hard drive. You may need to get a replacement suitable for box

    Use with this hard drive inside.

    The old drivers of this company would be unnecessary; the recent OS X has all the people.

    There are several reasons why the external drive may be badly behave. Between the

    cable, taken & /or port and failure internal circuit that connects the drive

    inside the computer outside, these can be remedied by the use of replacement cases.

    So there are words that can mean 'wardrobe' of 'accommodation' - or "case."

    If the unit is based on port-power supply through the USB cable only, other issues can happen.

    Most of my closed external hard drives use an external power supply. You can

    must obtain and use (please bring extra) quality additional backup included the HD discs.

    For examples, see OWC macsales.com. Specifications and information are here.

    Sometimes, you can use disk utility to see if you can get an external drive to be 'seen '.

    and if so, do 'mount' - sometimes the other question, trying to unmount or eject.

    At this point, close to 12:30, I hope the case is something simple. A cable? A port?

    In any case...

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • 1 TB external hard drive works on XP but not Windows 7

    1 TB Toshiba external hard drive.

    It works on my laptop that runs Windows XP bot not on the laptop that is running Windows 7, if the hard disk works. It also works on Vista.

    My Seagate (320 GB) hard drive works on the Windows 7 laptop - so the USB ports are not defective.

    When I plug the hard 1 TB drive that it appears not on the Manager list of devices, or the title of the disk management, still green light from the disk hard flashes and lights up like it normally does when plugged into the laptop XP.

    I have read all the forums and tried the following: edited the Registery values for mass storage devices USB (deleted and lower filters);  Edited the "Usbstor" INF file as suggested check, the Toshiba site for any compatibility issues, and they have suggested that it is a problem of windows 7, given that the player works on other platforms.

    Because the disc is not visible in device etc Manager I can't try the other options.

    Any input would be appreciated

    I found the problem to be with the controller Toshiba uses on their external hard drives.

    I removed the hard drive Toshiba of the carcass, put it in an envelope of SeaGate (thus using a SeaGate controller) and it worked fine.

    To my knowledge there is no software around HD Ext Toshiba and W7 work. Take the HD out of the envelope, buy a cheap eSATA to USB connector & problem solved.

    I installed a new hard drive and clean installed Windows 7 from a dvd, so I could then install Windows 10 from a record since the upgrade on my pc failed repeatedly.

    After I installed 7, everything worked except that I can't go online. I get error code 0 x 80070017 that tells me to install a network adapter or reinstall a driver. My internet connection in our House work that my husband is able to get online. We have Verizon DSL internet via a network cable.

    My husband downloaded the necessary driver for my pc to a website of HP flash drive, but it Wouln't install/run on my pc.

    Thank you for your help.

    At any time.

    I am pleased to have been of assistance.

    If you still have problems with the flash player and this file, the only other suggestion I can offer would be to burn the file to a CD and run the executable file I've first validated from the CD or transfer the 2nd file I posted from the CD to the hard drive, or find the driver on the CD folder.

  • Pavilion p7-1254: I have added a second hard drive then how closely I put it to the top and use it?

    A year or two ago the original HD died and I took it to a shop and they replaced and now I did know they put in a Western digital 320 GB which is full now. so, I got a seagate 2 TB and have it instaled in the case and now I need to know how to set up? should I move or clone all the info on the new drive, or use both at the same time?

    Hello

    Now, you have two drives, C: and another new letter (e.g. D on your computer.) All new file you save on D:, not C:. After a week or two to settle down, if you want, you can start to move old data/files in C: D:, especially videos, music or old files.

  • Hard drive shows almost full but cannot understand why

    Hello

    My C drive shows me using 565 GB with a total area of 596 GB so I'm close to running out of space.

    Strange thing is that I can't know which uses all the space!

    I looked at the size of all files on the C drive, and what follows is the biggest:

    Program x 86: 32 GB

    Windows: 50GB

    Users: 271GB

    Which makes a total of about 350 GB, this is far from the projection of 565 GB used when I look at the properties of the C drive.

    So, where's the rest?

    I have the list hidden files and I looked at disk cleanup and defragmentation.  I also deleted the files in system restore, but it's all the little things.

    The difference, I'm looking for is huge then where is he?

    Max

    Control Panel / System / Protection system allows you to choose the amount of disk space to use for the Restore Points. I use 5 GB that gives me about 6 points of restoration.
