• CD transfer to external hard drive with a MacBook Pro

  Is it possible to use iTunes as a way to transfer old CDs to an external hard drive. I want to get rid of the real disks and won't use often but don't want to lose the music.

  Temporarily place preferences iTunes (Advanced) to point to your external drive for the location of the press folder "iTunes" and then rip the CD into iTunes.  Who's going to put them in your iTunes library, but native files will reside on the external hard drive.  Once completed, change your iTunes preferences back to what it was.  If/when you disconnect the external hard drive, the songs will remain as entries in your library in iTunes, but will be not playable until you reconnect the external hard drive.

  The same way that you moved the library before, except with the disc source and destination reversed. The Photos application must always be on the startup disk.

• Mac App Store is writing updates on an external drive!

  Hi people,

  I recently added an external USB3 drive of my Mac Mini, which is in place and it works very well. It is journaled HFS +, property is 'ignored' and it is mounted in /Volumes as you would expect. (I also have to stress is the fourth disc I added in this way.) My main drive is unchanged, still mounted on / and is always presented as my boot drive in system preferences. It was also around 450 GB of free space.

  However, when I update an application such as Pages or via the Mac App Store numbers, it creates a folder in the "new" external drive and place the .app file here. Also, it creates a directory/library and places receipts in there, too. Applications updates do not appear in the Dock or dashboard.

  The behavior is completely recreatable and persists reboots of the system.

  I can't find an obvious preference setting to control the target disk. is it possible that I can configure or reset the Mac App Store to use my main drive?

  Thank you very much in advance for any help or advice.

• How can I move photos from a Photo library on my Mac to a library of photos in an external drive?

  I have 10 GB of photos in a photo library on my Mac Air, which is running out of storage space. I would like to move the photos to another library of Photos in an external drive which already hosts most of my photo archives. How can I execute the move?

  Thank you!

  Marco.

  Copy the library from the internal drive to the external drive. You can then open the library on the external hard drive by double clicking it and check, if the copy does not work.

  Photos has no tools to merge libraries. You can use both libraries alternating, or export the photos of a library and import them into the other library.

  Or use the application PowerPhotos to merge the two libraries move photos from one library to another.

  You will need the full version and paid f PowerPhotos to do.

• Transfer of large file to external drive

  I'm trying to transfer a big file (4.5 GB movie .mpeg) of my computer on an external hard drive. The external drive has 320 GB of space with 82 GB used. I get the following message appears when I try to move the file "the file _ is too large for the destination file system." Please tell me how to change the settings to allow the transfer.

  Be careful. While Michael Murphy is right to identify the cause of your problem (indeed, if it is in FAT16, it would have only a 2 GB limit (you don't mention the FAT version you are using)), it is not correct in the solution (or the implementation of the solution - although that would work, but perhaps with consequences you don't want).  To convert a partition FAT32 to NTFS you would NOT format the drive, as shown above in the previous post (or you lose everything on the external hard drive and need to restore your backup data, re - install all your programs loaded on this drive, reset all preferences on programs loaded on this record,...).  Instead, you will use the convert command. http://techblissonline.com/fat32-to-ntfs-conversion-in-windows-xp-or-vista/.  Who would preserve all your data, programs and settings while still doing the job.

  It is probably better formatted to NTFS anyway because that gives you access to features and options that are not otherwise available (such as the security of the file/folder) and is overall a better type of system.  There ARE reasons to keep FAT32 as the type system (that they are less important to be able to copy large and some of the other features of NTFS file sizes) but you none of them mentioned in your message, and they are rare (especially compatibility with older or no computer systems).  Here is an article on making this choice: http://www.theeldergeek.com/ntfs_or_fat32_file_system.htm.  You can read to see if any apply to your situation.  If you decide to keep the FAT32 (for some reason any assuming that it is the version you have), you will have to live with the limitations of transfer size of this type of system - there is no other way around it.

  I hope this helps.

• How to get an external drive officially used with a Mac to be recognized and usable with a PC running Windows 7

  I have an Iomega 500 GB external hard drive that I bought about 2 years ago I used exclusively with an iMac, until this computer crashed irreparably affordable last month.  My new computer is a HP Pavilion PC running Windows 7 and when I connect the drive I see in devices and printers that he acknowledged that an Iomega hard drive is connected to a USB port, but in the computer, it shows internal hard drive of the computer and the DVD player with their respective letter designations.  However, the external hard drive is not displayed.

  Fast disk information: I buy the player on the Apple store online in early ' 08, and when I unpacked it initially, I saw no written information not specifying that it was somehow a Mac version of this Iomega drive, there was anything about it either by declaring that use it with a Mac it format to use Mac only.   When I first plugged into the Mac, I was never invited on implementation shape or anything else specific to the Mac, actually, I was never even asked about the pilots.   To plug into it, he behaved as the USB flash drive and external 40 GB drive I have - a small orange icon appears on the desktop, with the name of the drive and the USB symbol.   So for two years, I moved the files between the player and the Mac with no problems, until now, when I try to use the drive with my current PC.

  So far it was suggested to me that makes the Mac * fact * format the drive in a way that makes Mac only, and I can't reformat because I have given, I must first of all get moved to the new computer.  Another theory is that since entering at Apple, even though it is an Iomega product, it might have been shipped with a tweak specific to Mac-maybe it was already formatted for Mac use.  A third theory advanced for me, is that it could be that the cable company somehow makes the PC is not quite completely recognize it.

  Any info would be greatly apprecitated.   Worse, I can find someone with a Mac and we can move files from the Iomega to the Mac hard drive, then the 40 GB drive which * fact * work with both types of BONE, and that several times until everything is moved safely to the new computer, then can do what I do with the Iomega is usable with the PC.

  What I find a bit confusing, it's the 40 GB has never had problems of compatibility with any computer with which I have connected.  In the course of graphic design, I've been in we have Mac and PC in the same building and that player never cared that it was connected to.

  There is a format uses Apple (don't remember what it's called...? Trip...? Journal... something like that) that Windows cannot yet see.  So once you have the files and folders saved on something like the DVD, do not format NTFS for Windows can see it.  The good thing is that Apple may also see NTFS, once it is formatted and files/folders copied on it, you will be able to use all the PC under Windows or OS.
