• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

  I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

  I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

  I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

  See you soon

  Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

  • Hardware failure
  • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
  • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
  • A firmware update is necessary

  No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

  Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

  If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

  Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

• How to use the book of fonts with fonts that are installed on the external hard drive

  I have all my fonts to a folder on an external hard drive. How can I use font book to manage these fonts? I want to keep on the external hard drive, not book fonts move them to my main hard drive. For some reason, font book does not know where are the fonts and as soon as I show, he sets in motion all the fonts on my hard drive in a folder/library/fonts. NOT what I want! I don't want thousands of fonts clutter up my main hard drive. I just can't understand how the font book. Only option, I can see, it is 'Install' and it is then the copy begins. I read and tests all day and I just can't understand this. Thanks for your suggestions.

  Font book handles only the fonts that are present in one of the folders of fonts on the startup disk. It can disable these fonts, but it won't work as a custodian of the fonts installed also. I would have suggested using a symbolic link to the folder fonts on the external drive to ~/Library/Fonts, but apparently that no longer works: allow to use symlinks in ~/Library/Fonts

• Cannot transfer pictures to the external hard drive (refused)

  Hey!

  I can't transfer jpg on my computer to my external hard drive all of a sudden. He's worked a lot of years and now when I try to drag the photos on it gives me a stop sign, that white circle with the diagonal line through it. What gives? Any help would be great appreciated! I have a lot of work there.

  Additional information:

  -J' have permission to read and write on the jpg photos, but the disk that he said that I can read only, and there is no way to change this, when I click on the little triangle down.

  -I can drag photos that already exist ON the disk hard ON my desk, but not vice versa

  -All files are jpg files, and they are in a separate folder on my desktop, not from my iphoto library or whatever it is

  -J' also tried to delete the "com.apple.recentitems.plist" of the finder, and nothing has changed

  -The disc model is a "Slim Seagate laptop drive"

  -Here is a photo of the hardrive info:

  

  Thank you

  The external HARD drive is formatted NTFS, which allows you to write on it unless you have a third party app like Paragon or Tuxera.

  You had these software installed by Seafgate in the drive, but it is now obsolete and should be updated.

  Ciao.

  I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.

  Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?

  How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files?  Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?

  IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.

  I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?

• IPhoto migration from an external drive: stuck with hard links to the external hard drive

  I got my IPhoto library on an external drive. To migrate to pictures, I dragged the IPhoto (on the external hard disk) file to the Photos icon.

  Migration went well, but instead of importing data to the external hard drive to my macbook, Photos stored links on the external drive. Now whenever I start the Photos, the system tells me it takes the external drive to view the contents of the library.

  To resolve this problem, I tried to copy my IPhoto library on my macbook and redo the import. It does not work: Photos, said the library has been upsized already (I noticed that the IPhoto library has been renamed 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary')

  Is it possible to reverse the migration or mark the IPhoto library as not yet migrated? Any other suggestions?

  Thanks for your help!

  Rename the copy of the iPhoto library on your internal drive to 'iPhoto Library.photolibrary '.  Then drag the library renamed on the Photos icon and pictures will create a new photo library on your internal drive.

• Backup HD on the external hard drive with/without Time Machine backup

  I use a drive external iomega hard so that I can save my Mac hard drive. I used the iomega to back up my old computer before and succeeded with just drag / drop the files I needed. I simply slipped fell the Mac HD icon in my iomega DHM and was able to open all the files inside. It made me skeptical however, if I would be able to open the icon Mac HD with all my files so it was on another mac. All information that I looked upwards on a hd on a disk external drive to backup talk using Time Machine, which I've never used, and was not sure if it's even necessary to use.

  Here's what I mean by dragging my HD on the external hard drive.

  It is not at all a backup. This is just a link to the internal drive. Is there a reason why you do not want to use Time Machine?

• The data stored on the external hard drive recovery

  Hello

  Recently, my PC got corrupted and told me to save my data on an external hard drive before doing a reformat on my PC. In fact, all my data was saved when I update. A few months ago, in may 2014, I backed up my data in the drive C under the section 'My Document ' and also registered in my external hard drive as a backup. Thus, in June, July & the first 2 weeks of August 2014, I updated some data and stored in the 'My documents' file in the C drive. My PC got corrupted last week and told me to do a reformat as a last resort. Before that, I saved all my data (especially my Word & Excel) for my external hard drive to the file 'My Document '. After that the reformatting was made, I downloaded all required applications and try to remove my Excel file, which has the external hard drive, but the data were NOT the updated file, but the file that has been saved 3 months ago!

  So, how can I recover my file up to date which was recorded August 12, 2014, supposedly on my external hard drive, or could it be hidden somewhere in the "C drive"?

  Help, please!

  Thank you!

  Kind regards
