• How do say I have this external hard drive more Time machine?

  I keep all my personal documents on an external drive that is still connected to my Mac via USB. For the purpose of this question, we will call it this disc "Lagavulin".

  In addition, I have a Time Capsule. Time Machine is configured to record its backups on the time Capsule.

  TimeMachine performs regular backups of my complete system, including the operating system, applications and settings internal to the Mac disk, as well as my personal documents that are on the external hard drive "Lagavulin".

  A few weeks ago "Lagavulin" behaved erratically, so I bought a new external drive to replace it. Let's call it "Ardbeg.

  I have all my files from "Lagavulin" to 'Ardbeg' in reverse. Then I threw it "Lagavulin" in the Trash because his performance was getting worse and worse. The transfer went very well, and all my files are fine.

  I put TimeMachine to include "Ardbeg" in its future backups.

  The problem is that TimeMachine still thinks that I have "Lagavulin", even if I is no longer the branch. When I access TimeMachine and look what is recorded in it, it always includes the files on "Lagavulin" in its most recent backups. Thus, each current backup has "MacintoshHD" (system files), "Ardbeg" (personal records) and "Lagavulin" (old version of the personal folders).

  How can I know TimeMachine that I own is no longer "Lagavulin"?

• My Time Machine is full. Should I keep it plugged in and turned on even if I switch to another external hard drive for Time Machine backups?

  My external hard drive, Time Machine is full. Should I keep plugged in m and, even if I switch to another external hard drive to keep backups with TimeMachine?

  There is no need to keep two connected external drives. Instead, I suggest you to buy a bigger external hard drive and transfer the backups that you want from the old to the new external drive, so you can use the old external drive for other purposes-> Time Machine: how to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

• Remove the external hard drive from Time Machine list of exclusions

  Hello, all. I already use TM to backup TO an external hard drive. But, I have a second DHM I want to use for all of my photos. The HD is listed in preferences on the exclusion list, and I currently have no way to remove it from the exclusions list. It is a Seagate HD. Is any way to remove it from the exclusions list?

  Copy all data on it to a different location, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility and reformat the drive as Mac OS extended.

• How to back up to external hard drive using time machine

  I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.

  Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X?

• Access to an external hard drive

  Hi, I hope someone can help me understand this cause I'm running out of things to check.  I'm under Fusion Version 3.1.1 on a Macbook Pro with OS X Version 10.6.4.  I have a computer virtual running Windows XP PRO SP2 Build 2600.  I'm trying to connect a USB hard drive (Western Digital My Book Mirror Edition) external on the virtual computer.  When I connect the external hard drive, the virtual machine is able to recognize the drive as a USB device and connects to him.  I am able to go through the file structure and to read the data in the virtual machine.  But when I try to write to the disk of the virtual machine, all I get is a message "error copying file or folder.  The window basically says "cannot copy XYZ: access denied."  Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. "I made sure all the files I'm trying to copy are not open.  I also checked the write to the target folder permissions and it seems to be in writing.  The hard drive is formatted in NTFS and there are hundreds of GB free.  Thanks for your time!

  What you describe resembles Windows ownership / permission settings do not allow to write.  Did you check the ownership / permissions for the root of the drive down to the folder that you want to write? Is your current user explicitly listed on the Security tab, or at least a group of your username is a member with Scripture, or all permissions?

  I don't think it of a matter of the merger itself, seems to be more a question of windows.

• Help! Time Machine has deleted my external hard drive iPhotos to make room for backups. I lost my birth iPhotos and the first 2 years of my baby!

  I'm next to me, I hope that there is a way to get back them.

  I was told my someone from tech apple to my iPhotos on an external hard disk to make more space on my MacBook Air, which seemed to work fine. We also have this same external hard drive my Time Machine.

  I noticed a small box from time to time come and say something like, Time Machine is running out of space to record new data, you want to delete things until March 2013 etc. He asked me a few times and I said yes, all the way until June 2014. Now just disappeared in my iPhotos to find some pictures of my daughter when she was a baby (in 2012) and there is nothing there before 2014. I'm completely panic, is there something I can do?

  Thank you, Kate

  PS

  This is the first time I've posted here, this is the right place to ask this question?

  Can specify you:

  You have time machine back ups and an iPhoto library on the same application - no time machine back ups of the library?

• Question: How can I format an external hard drive

  I am trying to use an external hard drive with Time Machine.  He tells me that my external must be formatted in a format "journaled". I can't find any way to do it and the Mac is do not do it either. Can someone tell me how to proceed so that Time Machine works to put in shape?

  If Time Machine is not reformat the disk itself, choose Utilities in the Finder Go menu, open disk utility, select the drive in the sidebar and delete it.

• Library of photos on external hard drive does not open

  So, I recently backed up my 2012 macbook pro on an external hard drive using time machine and wiped the computer. The hard drive shows that my old hard drive was saved (there ~ used 400GB the 1 TB), however when I try to open my photo library, it tells me that files cannot be saved? I was wondering if there's another way to open these files in addition to using pictures? the file says it's big 235 GB so I know that my photos and videos are out there. If someone could help me that would be great! The last 5 years of my life are in this file. (,:

  You cannot open a Time Machine backup of the library directly. You must first restore somewhere.

  Time Machine is a backup tool, not a tool for archiving. It gives you a window of time retrieve data that has been lost in the backup source. You can't count on it to keep the files you want to keep indefinitely. All these files should be saved with the rest of your original data. The files that you delete from the source volumes will be finally removed from backups, after a variable delay which depends on your usage model and the size of the backup volume.

• Run the virtual machine on the SSD or external HARD drive

  Hi all

  For school I need a large number of virtual machines. In total, I have about 140 GB of VM. And with a total of 250 GB of SSD on my macbook pro, which is for many.

  If I want to move my VM on an external hard drive.

  My question is what is the best type of external hard drive that I can get.

  It's a normal with a thunderbolt connection HARD drive or an external hard drive SSD with USB 3.0 connection.

  Who is the fastest, and I see a lot of delay compared to my normal internal drive of the SSD.

  I don't want a disc HARD normal 3.0, it may slow down the VM to a large part.

  Hello

  If you ask a normal hard drive vs SSD then the SSD will win anytime, regardless of the USB3 or love at first sight.

  An SSD using thunderbolt would be preferable, but I don't know if they are easy to find.

  The advantage of having a via USB3 SSD, is that the disc is easy to use also other non-apple machines.

  An SSD in USB3 should work fine however.

  Side note:

  As you have an external connection there is a risk of the drive is disconnected/offline when you use the virtual machine. This can cause whatever it is the corruption of data to have a virtual machine that is completely missing. So if this is going to be your Setup program then make sure to make regular backups of these virtual machines to another disk.

• My computer does not recognize the external hard drive that my virtual machine is stored (continuous thread solved problem)...

  A new problem arises.  After I crossed the wire attached and mounted my VM on the external hard drive, I can access is no longer my hard drive.  Y at - it a trick to recognize again?

  Ben, well talk to you again and let me know what external drive you eventually buy and if it was the controller or the drive in the other external drive.

• You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

  Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

  I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

  What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

  Any advice would be really appreciated.

  Thank you

  Nick

  Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

• How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

  For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

  However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

  I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

  There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

  Help, please.

  Thank you!

• Move a computer virtual to one external hard drive to another... one is accessed remotely

  The external hard drive which has my VM on it has always attached to my MacBook Pro via a firewire cable.  Recently, I bought the latest version Apple Time Capsule, which I use as a router.  I have attached my external hard drive from VM to the router, but I've found that Fusion works very slowly in this way.  When I tried to reconnect the external hard drive to the laptop directly again, Fusion starts but some files could not be found and I continued to get the guests on that wouldn't go away and let me click in the window of Fusion.  The only way it works now to use the hard drive in the configuration router.  This is the address that my MacBook Pro wants to see.  Even then, things are not quite right.  So... has decided I should just move my VM from external HDD (when it is connected to the router) on a new external hard drive that plugs directly into the laptop. The transfer is so slow... He told me to expect to wait hours 219.  Help!  How I comment j' ai I stop all this and just connect the hard drive with my VM it directly in the Mac, to operate and move them where I want to move?

  Thank you

  Michelle

  Hello

  Basically, you can just copy the entire virtual machine to the new hard drive and run it from there. There is not much more than that, but you need to stop your VM (not hang) before performing the copy.

  However, there is a chance that you will have to make some small adjustments, but it depends on how your virtual machine has been implemented.

  When I tried to reconnect the external hard drive to the laptop directly again, Fusion starts but some files could not be found and I continued to get the guests on that wouldn't go away and let me click in the window of Fusion.

  UH... without we say what these some files are not found, we cannot be a great help. The first thing to try is to attach the vmware.log of your virtual machine file when you try to do this again.

• External hard drive - Time Machine

  Hello.  I've been using Time Machine to backup my Mac Book Air on an external hard drive.  I have the latest OS - El Capitan 10.11.  Last night, I had to wipe my hard drive clean due to a third-party program of non-working that prevented me to connect to the network from my job.  I reinstalled the program today and I was able to enter the network from my job, but I am unable to restore all backups of my external hard drive on my laptop.  Time Machine does not give me the option to view all the backups that I know are there, although I can see the backups when I use Finder to view the external player.  I don't want to do a full restore, because I don't want to restore the third-party program of non-working.  I'm mainly interested in restoring my personal files and iPhoto iMovie.  Help, please!

  It is clear to me, what is the problem, but I bet the answer is here:
