• What is the best solution when my external drive for Time Machine is full?

  Hello

  I use the latest version of Mac OS X on my iMac 27 ". I use a drive outside of 3 TB G-Tech for Time Machine backup. Due to my recently many RAW photo images, I have less 8% left storage on my external hard drive, so I'm trying to figure out next steps in what concerns the strategy of external storage and have the following questions:

  • When my external drive for Time Machine is full, it is my understanding that older backups on external hard drive will be deleted to make room for newer backups. If the oldest backups contained pictures (whose records have not changed since the time they are initially stored), then I guess that these photos will be removed from the external drive - correct?
  • If I had to replace my external drive for Time Machine with a new external drive which is as big or bigger than the one it replaces, what should I expect on the size of the initial backup on the new drive? I guess the size of the backup would be exactly equal to the current amount of storage used on my drive hard iMac - correct?
  • Would it not be possible to connect the external drive for Time Machine existing at a new Time Machine external drive so that when the original disk is full, the overflow will be automatically stored on the new external hard drive for Time Machine? (If feasible, it seems that this strategy would maximize my external storage capacity vs just replace external drives.)

  I realize that my first two questions are rather basic, but I don't want to make any false assumptions. The third idea is intriguing and I would like to know if this is a viable option.

  Thank you

  older files are starting to get deleted because the disk fills up then Yes, they went

  the backup drive should ideally be 4 times the capacity of your current drive, twice is good but has its limits. Also factor in what you store: a jpeg from the web and a raw photo file are the two images, the size of a is very different. If you work in high-resolution or large native files, or audio files (record pro, no music files) or video production twice the disk fills up very quickly. If you collect photos and JPEG and mp3 files or a handful of videos not so much is necessary.

  I would keep the old drive intact if you want to replace and start over with a new drive, if that's the plan. You have the old data, you can keep it somewhere safe and have a redundant backup which you can reconnect at any time to restore from. Let the new index drive itself with new data and take if from there, in the case otherwise you can copy the backup to the new drive and set the drive as the new source of backup but personally I wouldn't copy of the data, that's my preference, it may not be yours and that's fine.

• External Editor for Photos: update is released

  The new update for the extension to "External editor for Photos" photo editing AppStore seems promising:

  

  We can change the list of external editors that displays and get rid of items that aren't really publishers.  We can also convert RAW to TIFF.

  has someone already tried this new version?

  I installed and made my list of favorites from the editors.  A feature very convenient.  If you add a Publisher/app accidentally in the Favorites control (right) - click can remove it.

  I was just on the App Store there is little time to date of other applications, and it was not listed.  You're certainly on top of things. Thank you.

  

• Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.

  Should what format I use for my external drive for time machine?  I have a WD 2 TB that is formatted for PC new drive.  When I got to disk utilities to erase, and then reformat the options are

  1 mac OS extended (journaled)

  2 mac OS extended (journaled, encrypted)

  3 mac OS Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled)

  4 mac OS extended (case-sensitive, journaled, encrypted)

  See the information below If you can not back up or restore your Mac with the help of Time Machine - Apple Support

  When you select a drive to use with Time Machine, your Mac automatically prompts you if you need to reformat the drive.

  • If you are using an external drive connected to your Mac, use disk utility to make sure that your backup disk is formatted in HFS + extended (journaled) and is the partition type GUID Partition Table (GPT).
  • If you use a time Capsule, formatting the drive for Time Machine preferences automatically formats the drive as HFS + Extended (respect for case-sensitive, journaled) with a GUID Partition Table (GPT).

  The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

  Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

  If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

• Copy of iPhoto/iTunes to external drive for upgrade

  I would like to transfer my iPhoto (5.0.4) and files iTunes (9.2.1) of my old iMac G5 (running 10.4.11) to my new iMac (El Capitan running).

  My iTunes library is now on an external drive (and iTunes is headed there), and I would like to copy my iPhoto on the same drive - to move together on the new iMac while maintaining the structures of files etc.

  Can someone tell me what is the best way to do this? I'm not clear what iPhoto files files, I need to move or copy on the external hard drive to retain the current structure of the organization/etc folder or the process then bring them into the right place on the new machine.

  Simply drag and drop them where you want libraries to reside. As iPhoto is plu included you will use the Photos app. You can learn how to move the library iPhotos to Photos for Mac on http://osxdaily.com/2015/04/17/move-iphoto-library-to-photos-mac/.

  Insofar as your iTunes library, yet once just drag and drop. 'Teach' iTunes where the library is simply double-click the library and iTunes will find it and then "know" where the library.

• C external drive for MacBook Air

  I need an external drive C ONLY for transfer applications such as TurboTax, iBank, etc disc to hard drive on the MacBook Air. Bought an external drive of C & computer recognize no more disc stuck in drive C. visit mandatory at the Genius Bar to eject the disc. Genius used Apple and immediately recognized hard drive. My very small requirement & will use player for videos, music, photos, etc. Probably use no more than 3 times a year. Intended to save a few $$$ to by not buying is not Apple drive.

  I'm on the right track? Number of external market readers if some should work correctly. Now very hesitant, but he must overcome this obstacle.

  Thank you

  What is external drive C you mentioned? External DVD drive? It is probably not entirely compatible with your MacBook Air.

  If you have another Mac that has the DVD player, DVD sharing would be best way rather than using your C drive.

• Please recommend what to look for in an external drive for my Macbook Pro

  I don't have a lot of data, but I'm a writer and want a back up of novels and photos and photo projects. Can someone knowledgeable tell me what to look for in an external drive? I said to get one with a fan, but have seen highly recommended to those without a fan.

  Thanks in advance,

  If portability is a requirement, such as this storage drives will do:

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/FireWire/on-the-go

  If the HARD disk will live on the desktop all the time, your choice increases.  Here are a few more examples (and there are more):

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/FireWire/EliteALmini/eSATA-FW800-FW400-USB

  http://eShop.MacSales.com/shop/FireWire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB

  The fans are not always essential if the design of the enclosure is made correctly.

  There are many publishers and other options are available, but OWC is a good seller with excellent customer support.

  Note that anything that is stored on a disk external HARD must also be safeguarded if the data has the value.

  Ciao.

• OSX does not automatically mount external drives for a user

  I'm having a problem where external drives are not mounted automatically in one of my user accounts. This is independent of the format of the drive, ability, or port. Driving, if the drive flash, hard drive or SD card, must be installed manually in disk utility. It appears dimmed under external and I select the mount option. Once I do this drive works normally.

  This only happens in one of my user accounts. Into account other external drives come up automatically and displayed in the Finder and the desktop. Users have permissions admin, no parental control is activated. The only difference I know is the user account that does not correctly use iCloud as login.

  The details of the device/osx are:

  MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inch, mid-2015)

  10.11.2 version (15 c 50)

  So far I have used first aid on my boot drive, run Apple Diagnostics (no problem found) and reset the NVRAM.

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• My seagate drive external drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan

  My seagate external hard drive keeps ejecting properly after installation of OS El Capitan, it locks also towards the top and turns off, the ext drive when using, I have to restart my IMac 27 inches.  I have two ext hd who does very well for years before the installation of the operating system El Capitan

  If you have installed the Seagate Software, please delete and see if there is no change.

  Any third party software that is not installed on the App Store or by drag-and - drop in the Applications folder and uninstall by drag - move to the trash, is a modification of the system.

  Whenever you delete changes to the system, they must be eliminated completely, and the only way to do this is to use the uninstall tool, if any, provided by the developers, or follow their instructions. If the software has been removed incompletely, you may redownload or reinstall even to finish the job.

  I never install modifications of the system myself, and except as stated in this comment, I do not know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find this information.

  Here are some general guidelines to help you get started. Suppose you want to remove the so-called "BrickMyMac" (a hypothetical example). First of all, menu using the product, check if there is one, for instructions. Not finding here, look at the Web site, let's say www.brickmymac.com. (Maybe it's not the name real site, if necessary, search the Web for the name of the product). If you don't find anything on the Web site or in your search, contact the developer. While you are waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be a request here as "Uninstall BrickMyMac." If this is not the case, open "BrickMyMac.pkg" and look for an uninstall button. The uninstall program can also accessible by clicking on the button customize, when one exists.

  Back up all data before making any changes.

  Generally, you will need to restart the computer in order to perform an uninstall. Until you do this, there may be no effect, or the unpredictable effects.

  If you can't remove the software in any other way, you will have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third party software, unless you're sure you know how to uninstall in the contrary case, it can create problems which are very difficult to solve.

  Try to remove the complex system of changes by hunting for files by name, often will not work and can make the problem worse. The same goes for 'utilities' as the 'AppCleaner"designed to remove software.

• WRT610N - disk external DRIVE for Xbox 360 and PS3

  I searched through the fourms and can't seem to find this information.  I'm looking for a suggestion on the Setup and the disk external DRIVE via the USB port on the back of the router you can listen to music and videos on my 360 or PS3.  I see that some people have managed to put it in place and I would like to know which external HARD drive that they use.

  I want my externall HDD to sleep, but I want that it to wake up when I go to play the music on my computer or 360 or PS3.  Please post what disk external HARD - that someone has found that works.  Or should I just go with a NAS connected on one of the router's ethernet ports?

  Any player should work.  I use a WD drives on my own, (although I share with other systems then the xbox).  Actions are implemented for UPnP.  The documentation should be sufficient to implement that.  Make sure the drive is formatted as an NTFS drive, or it is not possible.

  In addition, make sure you have the latest firmware (21 January 2009).

  Set up the drive (aka format)

  Create groups

  Create users

  Implement UPnP

  It should work.

  In record time, readers built into the firmware and the timeout when they timeout.  You would not be able to set the timeout on this.  I didn't know all the disks than that.  If you are REALLY interested in saving energy buy a USB solid state with no moving parts.  They turned off immediately after what they read/write.

  I hope this helps.
