I m a new user of macbook. I can´t copy files from my mac to an external drive

I can´t copy files from my mac to an external hard drive.

I followed the instructions in the help, but I can't change the license to write / read of read-only, the locking doesn´t appear on my screen of inf.

really I m very disappointed with this machine because I can´t find the apple online support.

I tried searching you tobe to the google search, and I can't do it!

any body can help me please?

Select the drive in the Finder and select the get info in the file menu.

If it is the Windows NT file system format, install software such as Paragon NTFS on the computer or reformat the hard disk.

If it's in a different format, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and use the repair disk function or first aid in this regard.

  • How can I transfer files from my old pc sony Vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003

    How can I transfer files from my old sony pc running vista for my laptop new HP 17-j003 Windows 8

    Welcome to the HP, Roodie forum.

    There is an easy way to do it using Microsoft Windows Easy Transfer :

    Transfer files and settings from another PC

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If you do not want to transfer files using the easy transfer method, you can manually make the copy.

    1. You can connect the systems on the same network,
    2. Define the folders that contain your data transfer to 'Share' on the network
    3. Map the drive on your new Vista computer system network
    4. Copy the data you want to transfer

    On the Vista Machine:

    • Open a Windows Explorer window,
    • Right click on the folder that contains the data you want to 'share' (transfer)
    • Click Properties > share > share and follow the instructions to allow the folder to be shared on the network

    On the Machine Windows 8:

    • Windows key (opens the start screen) > anywhere type 'computer' >
    • Click on "computer" to open the "Computer" File Explorer window >
    • Click map network drive and follow the instructions to map the drive

    Don't forget: If your account name is different on the Vista computer, you will need to click on "Sign in using different credentials" and then enter the name of the account on the Vista computer AND the password for this account.

    You can do this with the upper or lower level folders folder level - as long as the folder is shared, you should have general access to the data it contains.

    There are cases where you will not end up being "owner" of the data transferred - you will have to perhaps enter and adjust the property for files / folders after they are copied to the computer of Windows 8.

  • Can I copy music FROM my MP3 player to a new playlist in Media Player?

    Original title:

    Windows media player

    Can I copy music FROM my MP3 player to a new playlist in Media Player? If the answer is 'yes' Please give me some very simple instructions on how to do it.

    Thank you

    Joe Hawkiins

    Hello

    You can use Windows Media Player to copy music, videos and pictures of the Player library to a portable device, such as a compatible MP3 player or vice versa. This process is called synchronization.

    You can see the links below and check if it helps:

  • Cannot copy files from a corrupted on a new user acct

    For some reason my user account was in sashes. I wasn't able to access the system restore. I did a restore and it allowed me to create new user accounts that my old files were still on the drive under the old user acct, I am not able to copy on. I tried to use the procedure described in article 811151 but the old user account folder is not accessible (access denied). I tried to change the permissions under safe mode, but that makes no difference. Any ideas?

    Article Microsoft KB811151 will not work as described if you reinstall as you.  The problem you have now is one of the owner.  The following article should allow you to adapt your old files and a directory and to regain access:

  • New Mac, same disk external DRIVE for the library; does not see the files

    I reconnected my iTunes library from a disk external DRIVE to my new computer, but iTunes does not recognize my files of the ALAC instead, he goes to the cloud and plays music from Apple things. How can I listen to my files? All the files are there, the library is intact; I changed the path in iTunes. Without result. He always plays with the cloud.

    You do not change the path in iTunes.  Who does as it says which is tell iTunes where media files [new] store. You change the path you launch iTunes by holding down the option/alt key, while the application starts and then choose when prompted the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you included if all goes well on the hard disk external.  If everything you have on the outside are media files, then you better head for your old computer fast and get the rest of the library there.  It's the rest of these files in the iTunes folder that make up the other half of the 'library' iTunes needs.

    Hi mandyXH,

    Step 1:

    You can try to use an external monitor and check if it helps.

    Links:

    Move windows between multiple monitors

    Set up multiple monitors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-multiple-monitors

    Step 2:

    Because you have made a new computer and want to move the data to the new machine, you can try to copy files and folders to an external hard drive and then move it to the new machine and see if it works or not.

    Step 3:

    You can also use the easy transfer cable easy to move files and settings from one operating system to another operating system.

  • How can I move files from backup to backup of Vista on a new external drive?

    I use Vista and have a few backup files made by the Vista Backup utility that is currently stored in a USB 2.0 external drive.

    I bought a bigger external drive and I want to transfer data from the old disk to the new external drive and I tried:

    1. fixing of the external drive and select all (mediaid.bin incl.)-> copy / paste
    2 copy data from the old disk on the desktop and then copy from the office to the new drive

    Both disks are formatted as NTFS. It seems to transfer ok, but when I checked the data on the new external drive, it is much LESS than the data on the old disk (disk right click computer-> properties). I think that Vista is resistant to climb a backup of files. There was no error prompt.

    Help, please. Why is this happening?

    Hi MalG,

    Open Publisher, locate the publication server 'old' files (probably in the ' Documents'), and then open them.
     
    You're not going to get the "open recent" lists more than - those who are roasted.
     
    Even for photos (probable under the 'Photos' folder) - open any application you will use and point the application at the appropriate location.
