ITunes for Mac external hard drive

I have an external hard drive Seagate Backup Plus slim and I am trying to export all my music to it. I learned all the way to consolidate the files, and once I click 'OK' a message appears saying "copying files failed. You do not have the privilege to make changes. "I can't understand how to do this, go away so I can export my support to my external hard drive.

What format is the external drive in? See also make a library of portable split.

  • iTunes library to external hard drive works on pc and mac

    Hello world

    I have 1 pc and mac 2. I also use the music library to icloud. However, it depends on the internet connection.

    so, I was wondering if I can put the "itunes library" file on each laptop, the "itunes media" while on the external hard drive?

    My idea is to use an external hard drive whenever I want to use the laptop. so I don't need to broadcast through library icloud music. Moreover, I need an external hard drive and itunes library to work on pc and mac.

    Cheers!

  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes game against external hard drive, Solid State etc. to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    First question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of using iCloud drive (or other Cloud services) compared with iTunes Match against Solid State external hard drive etc to store my songs iTunes, playlists, ratings etc?

    Please let me know what are the alternatives for storage of my songs, playlists, song etc. other than iTunes game ratings ($ 24.99 / year)?  Is there a way to store all my songs with my song ratings, playlists, etc. with a CD song quality? Most of my (currently 130 GB) songs on my computer are CD quality that I prefer to keep as well as my notes of each song (i.e. 5 * vs. 4 * etc.), playlists, groups (music, classical, popular, country etc.).  What are the advantages and disadvantages to store my iTunes songs while CD quality with my personal notes, reading lists, groupings in the cloud?  ICloud of Apple Drive ($ 2.99 per month or $36 / year for 200 GB) would be the best way to automatically update and maintain my rankings iTunes personal including the future editions of the song etc or using Amazon, IBM, Microsoft etc cloud or an external hard drive SSD would work as well and maybe cheaper?  I currently have my iTunes on a PC of 2007 with vista (I use a 1 8T Western Digital external upward by car for my personal info all over HP, songs, photos etc. which is currently close to 170 GB) but also have an Apple i-phone 6 & I Air cushion.  Although I did not need to have all of my music with all their sides, etc. available on all of my devices at all times as iTunes game, I still would have easy access to information on both my PC and my iPhone or iPad?  Thank you.

    In my opinion?

    I back up my data to an external drive for several reasons.  The first is my data - if I put on the cloud, someone else has control over it, they can see what I have and change the preferences to what they see of marketing.

    Almost as important as that - if I had to rely on the cloud whenever I wanted to update my playlists on my phone, I need a better internet connection I have now (working at sea).  To get the best out of the cloud, you need a solid link to home, work or mobile.

    As a spin-off - I hate the fact that Apple take away a feature in their software updates and then allow an app to be sold in their store to replace this feature - or worse still, some features that were available before the updates are now "cloud only."  And Yes - you have to pay for the cloud.  I like most of the people do not appreciate the 'accomplished fact. "

    From the back of the external hard drive ASI downside, is that to be safe, you need to store outside in a separate computer place.  If keep you them together, if one is lost, probably, they are both.  That is to say for me a full backup before you travel, then a new upward as soon as I go home.  Downside is how much data may be lost between the two back ups if I needed to restore.  For me, its worth the risk.  If I was away and say had bought a ton of new music and couldn't go home anytime soon, I can always head to the store and buy a new external drive, they are massively expensive.  Even if my computer has to go for repair and my remote is to halfway around the world - I want to buy a new one.

    Now, some will say that once you buy a new external, you spend more than you would on a cloud subscription.  It's true, but in the 6 years following the purchase of Mac that I've only had to buy a new external once - so with a little luck and planning - it works.

    I left took well - I am not a subscriber of cloud, nor do I want to be.

    Hi Filabaca:

    If you want to use a hard drive external Mac and PC options are:

    1. format the drive in Mac as exFat

    2. format the drive to NTFS on a Windows PC and use a program like Paragon NTFS for Mac. https://www.Paragon-Software.com/home/NTFS-Mac/

    Paragon NTFS for Mac allows you to use a disc formatted in NTFS by a Windows PC.

    Here is an article showing the difference between FAT32, exFAT and NTFS. http://www.howtogeek.com/235596/whats-the-difference-between-fat32-exfat-and-ntf s /

  • How can I change the permissions for an external hard drive?

    Hi, I have a little problem... I used an external hard drive on my pc windows 10 and now I try to copy my files on my iMac, but the thing is I can't delete my files from my hard drive because I can only read them. So I want to change the permissions, but I do not know how... Can someone help me with this please?

    Thank you for your time.

    This means generally that the volume is formatted to NTFS, at which case it must be reformatted or software such as Paragon NTFS installed on the Mac.

    In case this happens to a FAT32, exFAT or volume Mac OS extended, either the volume's directory structure is damaged, it is locked in the material or the player has felt that it is about to fail.

  • Not able to recognize the Mac external HARD drive in Windows 7?

    When I plug in my external HARD drive friend formatted in Mac, window recognizes a new device, but the drive does not appear in Explorer winndow.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to access this Ext HDD in Windows 7?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions

    I don't know why someone marked the message confused and imprecise by Ganesh B aissa as response - please fix this.
    In any case, perhaps this will help you-

    For OS X native file system is HFS +, it is unreadable by Windows natively.   If the drive is formatted in HFS + you might be able to read with tools 3rd party.
    See a here-

    In general, if you plan to use an external hard drive on a PC and MAC, it may be preferable to use the FAT32 format which support two operating systems.

  • Access denied for backup external hard drive

    Hello

    I can not access my old files stored on an external hard drive Maxtor. It gives me an access denied error.

    I tried what you posted in another forum.

    Here are the steps to change the ownership and permissions:

      1. Right-click on the file or folder, click Properties , and then click the Security tab.
      2. Click Advanced , and then click the owner tab.
      3. Click Edit , and then do one of the following:

    ·         To change the owner to a user or group that is not listed, click other users and groups , in area enter the object name to select (examples) , type the name of the user or group, and then click OK .

    ·         To change the owner to a user or group that appears in the area of change of ownership to , click the new owner.

    4. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the check box Replace owner of subcontainers and objects .

    5. click OK and then click Yes when you receive the following message is displayed:

    You are not allowed to read the contents of directory folder_name . Do you want to replace the the directory permissions with permissions granting you full control?

    All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes .

    Note folder_name is the name of the folder you want to take charge.

    6. click on OK and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents.

    Additional considerations

      • An administrator can take ownership of any file on the computer.
      • Affecting the ownership of a file or a folder might require that raise you your permissions using user access control.
