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.

  • Moving music files of 1 external hard drive to another

    I have to move my music files from one external hard drive to another.   Many of these files are in the iTunes library, but do not reside in the iTunes/iTunes Music folder.  Is it possible to do so that they don't become 'traces of dead' in iTunes that I'll have to then 'find' whenever I want to access one of the songs?

    There is no easy way to do it. It is one of the disadvantages of not let iTunes do its own management of files.

    My suggestion would be to first let iTunes consolidate the active player library and only then move it to the new drive.

  • How can I move media files & media players to external hard drive

    My internal hard drive is "full" and showing less than 10% free space.
    I presume that it is slow, because there is not enough space on the hard disk to be used as temporary storage.

    I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

    Three points:

    1. software (Real Player or any other) should generally not be on
    external hard drives. It can cause problems. So you shouldn't do it.

    2 move a program from one drive to another (external or not) is
    difficult. This is because besides that the software itself, there is
    usually many references to it and its location in | Windows, in the
    Registry and elsewhere. Search and replace all of these references is
    very hard. There is a software that is supposed to do, but in my
    experience, none of this works perfectly. I recommend strongly against
    it.

    3. move media files is easy. You can move the files to a disk
    to another exactly like you would move them from one folder to another.
    There are several ways, but cut-and - paste and drag - move are the
    may be simpler and more common. If you do not know how
    write again for more information.

  • Move the Adobe products to an external HARD drive

    I would like to be able to copy and paste my applications to an external HARD drive so that I can be able to move to another computer and run Photoshop without having to reinstall. Possible?

    Niyaaz,

    Move and copy paste do not work for the installation of the Adobe applications you get all the files needed to run it. Please install the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop software on the new computer: Download Adobe Creative Cloud apps

    and then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop application to install applications:

    Using creative cloud | Download, install, update or uninstall applications

    If you use Photoshop on the other computer, then you can signout on this computer:

    log in and log out of the desktop Adobe Creative Cloud application

  • Backup to one external hard drive to another

    Hoping someone can explain to me how to copy a backup of one hard external to another.  I managed to make a complete backup of the old iMac, my sister just before he died.  The backup is located on a WD My Passport for Mac and I would like to copy the backup to another external hard drive, maintaining the original on My Passport for Mac, just to keep safe in the event of failure of one of the external drives.  This backup contains the only copy of hundreds of pictures.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    If it's a Time Machine backup, click here for more information.

    If there is a bootable clone, rerun the utility of cloning, but with the new source and destination drives.

  • How to print a list of the movies that I have on an external hard drive

    I have my iTunes on an external hard drive.  I would like to print a list of the movies.  I tried 'print' which causes quicktime and iTunes to open. I tried "select all", "copy", then paste in the text change which causes a spinning endless ball and the eventual system crash.  I guess she's trying to print the actual movies rather than on the list.  Any ideas how to create a list of the contents of a disc and then print this list?  I use OS X on a macbook pro 10.11.5.

    You a run this in Terminal and it will display the names of files in a file on your desktop.

    LS path/to/file > > ~/Desktop/Movies.txt

    Replace the full path to the folder path/to/folder.

  • I want to copy files from one external hard drive to another and can not?

    Hello

    I try to copy the photo files and video from one hard disk to another.

    The donor 2 TB drive is formatted NTFS and the receiver is 1 TB OSX extended.

    There are about 72 000 photos and 475 GB in size. The 56 video about 226 GB files copied with some lacks but then make drag and drop made the other files of 5 or 6.

    I tried to drag and drop, but some files have been copied not. After a lot of research through what was had been transferred I found about 5,000 had not copied I then did drag and drop with each of the 20 files or if some copied OK.

    The troublesome files kept suggesting that a file "already exists" and stops the process when I clicked ok.

    I want to delete the NTFS drive and reformat for OS X extended and then replace them on the 2 TB drive.

    What I am doing wrong? Need me a software to copy?

    Select the drive in the disk, then Edit/restore utility and select your 2 TB drive in restoration since. This will probably reformat the external hard drive, erase all data.

  • Can I save one external hard drive to another on a mac?

    I have just changed Windows for iMac and I have no idea of the backup of the system on a mac.

    I have an external hard drive that is used for the pictures I use Photoshop and Lightroom. I want to know how I can backup this disc on an another external hard drive and update only the files that have changed on the original disc.

    It would be also possible to save the iMac to a third external hard drive?

    I would really appreciate the help.

    The best way to save your Mac's Time Machine. It can save the Mac gradually and keeps a history of backups, so that you can go to different moments in time when you restore your Mac.  Time Machine can also include external drives to the backup, see this link: the basics of the Mac: Time Machine

    If you want to save your Media Player separately use cloning software for updating a copy cloned, for example carbon copy clone.

  • Copy the library from an external hard drive to another catalog EHD and sync

    Already, I saw this link but it doesn't tell me how to copy the library, it simply moving photos from one hard drive to another How to copy files to an external hard drive in Lightroom "Julieanne Kost's Blog of »

    I want to know how can I make a second copy of my library on my second drive, backup in case where my only main falls down and I want it so that my catalog can be synchronized with my second backup drive.

    Any ideas?

    The easy answer is to-

    1. close Lightroom

    2 use the software to 'mirror' of your Master images folder and subfolders of the primary transmission to the second DHM operation.

    Some free Windows software-SyncBack, MS-Synctoy, FreeFileSync.

    * If your Lightroom catalog file exists in the records of Master images, it will appear in the "mirror".

    * You can exclude the... Previews.lrdata folder of EHD. (it can be huge, and it can be re-built)

    * Note: "block mirror" made an exact copy of the files, it adds new files and removes the file 'deleted' SMT. It should not be used as a backup of the system-Deleted files are also deleted from the "mirror".

    * Note: You must not access the EHD copy using the catalogue work Lightroom on the main drive - this will only create chaos.

    3. If you want to restore from a system crash JEP 'mirror' will catalogue and image files in the exact state at the time of the last "mirror." Copy everything back to the main unit and open the catalog. LRCAT file. Lightroom is back in business.

  • I have recovery disks but no disk drive. Is it possible to copy discs on an external hard drive with another laptop

    I have a HP 15 Notebook PC with no dvd player recently sent me the CD of HP system recovery. I don't have an external dvd drive. What I have is a portable Toshiba Satelight with Windows 7 and a good dvd player. I also have an external hard drive to 500 GB. I thought maybe I could copy the disks on the external hard drive with the Toshiba dvd player. Then attach the external hard drive to my HP 15 laptop by usb port and install Hp recovery disks from the external hard drive. Is someone can you please tell me if HRT is possble. Thank you very much.

    Have seen others try this and fail miserably. I also saw a few attempt to copy on USB stick with the same end result.

    Save yourself a lot of grief and borrow or buy a USB CD/DVD drive.

  • I need to move my pictures from internal to external hard drive... help please!

    Hello!  I use a MacBook Air OX Yosemite 10.10.5.  I need disk space and have already been warned that my drive is full.  I've immediately backed up using Time Machine.  I don't have that 4.94 GB of free space on 499,05 Go.  104.26 GB is GB 161,97 movies and Photos.

    I went to "Images" then "photo library" and touch "control C" then I opened my external HD (it is formatted for Mac) and click on "order V.  It seems that he just copied successfully.  I have verified this by clicking on each of them, then 'control' 'get info' and looked at the amount of GB each had and it's the same thing.

    My question is threefold > r: I did this right, it's the best way to ensure that all the photos and videos copied on correctly? and b: How can I remove my internal now 'photos' and use my hard drive every time I open pictures?

    and finally c: This means now that my photos will synchronize is no longer?  It's fine for me if they don't synchronize... I can do it manually, but I'm curious to know how it works if they normally go to all devices, but now is not on the internal hard drive.

    THANKS FOR MANY WHO ANSWER CALLS TO HELP ME!

    A. you did it right. You just had to copy the library of Photos to the new location, but do not delete the old library until you've checked out the new one does not work correctly.

    B. open the Photos while pressing the Alt key and search the photo library on your external drive. Choose and check that all your photos are here. After you be sure that you can remove your in-House photo library of the folder you stored it (usually the pictures folder).
