    Hello ShamedMonkey,

    Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
    First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
    (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
    Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
    Click on "disk management".
    In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
    FAT32:
    This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
    NTFS
    This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
    Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.

  • How can I reach a complete file to send instead of having to attach each file separately

    I need to send a complete file to someone. This folder has about 200 hundred files it contains. Is it possible that I can just reach the folder instead of having to attach to each file separately.

    Right-click on the folder and To Sen. Compressed (zipped) file and send the file resulting in an attachment. The recipient can decompress.

    That's assuming that the file is not a size that is too large for e-mail.

  • How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    How can I make the best use of a new external hard drive and a new catalog full of photos just loaded into Photoshop elements 14 Organizer?

    Keep all the files on external hard drive image?  Nothing else and no pictures on the desktop?

    Keep all image files both places?

    What is the best way to go through thousands of images in the Organizer to identify and place them in files?

    Once I've placed a file, I just leave it in the entire catalog or a way indicate to me that it has been sorted?

    As overwhelming, any tips/shortcuts/schemes, you can offer are welcome!

    As I only have the version of the EP, here is some info on the organiser:

    https://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/how-to/use-elements-Organizer.html

    Independent of how this feature works, you want to have your photos in one place and have a backup (second copy) somewhere else. All hard drives will not be successful at some point - some more early, some late - never trust to have your files in any safety devices if they are on a single disc. Once you have your sorted, it would be useful that you will organize/name/tag new photos immediately if the task is relatively short and simple. I copy my photos on my internal hard drive for my camera, take a quick look with preview to see who needs some changes and then decide where to put them - either drop them immediately after naming them or bring in an editing application and then file them away.

  • I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive

    I can't initialize the disk for my new external hard drive because the drop-down list in the Disk Management Console does not give me this option. I'm logged in as an administrator and running Windows XP.  The driver for the new hardware is not digitally signed because I can't initialize the disk.  So I can't get my new hardware to run.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the option "Initialize disk" in the Disk Management Console?

    Hello Honduras1,

    Can you simply right-click and format everything first?  The drive must be formatted before use, make sure that you format NTFS.

  • If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

    If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

    Original title: can anyone help please?

    Hello

    You can take a safe backup.

    After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

    1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

    2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.

  • Historical files Windows 8 will not recognize the new external hard drive

    I just bought a new laptop (Sony Vaio) with Windows 8Pro (System op 64-bit, Intel I7, 1THD).  One of the reasons is that I have approached Win8, is I liked the concept of the new 'File History' backup utility  I started to use the computer with an ext WD My Guide of the HD and the history of the files seemed to work.  Then the drive external hard went wrong and I just bought a new WD My Passport 2 t ext HD.  Historical files will not recognize this drive.  He keeps asking the old drive.  When I attached the new drive and go to the screen "Select drive", it says "no usable drives are detected.  Please connect a drive... "I know that the drive is there because I see under 'My computer' and I can copy files to it.  But the history of the files do not recognize.  WD, I called and they helped me to update drivers and even made a update firmware on the drive, but nothing is done.  I tried several fixes suggested in a few links Microsoft 'how file history works... '. «, «What to do if the file history works more...» ", etc, but all without success. The tech also remote BestBuy Geek squad my computer and tried EVERYTHING and could not get it to succeed.  BTW, it's not the HD post because put us on another computer to WIN 8 and Hx file found immediately.  Tech people thought that it was a deep registry with Win 8 problem and their only suggestion was to reimage my computer with the original recovery disk.  But who is going to cost me an arm and a leg.

    I'm not very tech savvy, so I know there must be something very simple, I'm do wrong or overlooking and I hope that some dear soul on this forum or someone from Microsoft can give me an idea or two.  Thank you very much

    I was having this same problem, but then noticed a presentation text easy to miss in the historical files tool that says that the disc "cannot be a part of a library" or something like that. In my case, I had files on my external hard drive that have been included in several libraries... and none that I really used, so I removed the files (and deleted the libraries for good measure). A fast system restart later, and my player does not appear.

    I don't know why MS did not propose it again for this thread as the more obvious thing to check, but there you have it. Something simple and quick to check that could save you some frustration.

  • 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

  • I really just move to a new external hard drive

    With the help of Mac Cougar and LR 4.3. I want to have everything on an external hard drive, but need to move now to a smaller drive to another bigger. How?

    Probably the best way to go is to use the Finder to all move to the new HD, keeping the same folder tree structure, and then inside Lightroom reconnect (as explained here: http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_find_folder/find-folder.htm)

    UPDATE: I assume that when you say 'everything', you mean the photos and not the catalog file.

  • External Hard Drive - you do not have permission to access this folder.

    I have a question to do this and it is for the most part been answered on another topic, but the mine goes further; I have made a homegroup in Win 7 and added my third computer Vista, and shared my external hard drive to it.  Only problem is, I want both computers to write and be able to connect the player to the vista computer for faster transfers.  I wonder if she shares made it difficult for the computer to vista to read, and you wonder how all the access permissions, it seems that whenever I do a folder on the Win 7 computer, I have to re - authorize the permissions.  Seizing property in 7 will continue this problem if I want to use the hard drive under vista?  In addition, I get not him "you do not have authorization error", and I also get a "access denied." In a first time what was going on only the vista, but now its started happening on the 7.  (I tried sharing and security for everyone).

    I thought about it, I had to create another group by taking the reader to computer vista and adding a group to the location of the vista computer, then in the description of name I had to put the name of the vista user account and allow full control in the same workgroup name settings
