    • moving video files on external hard drive

      I recently added a 1 to. external hard drive. I saved my documents etc.  Now, I'm moving all my video files from my lap top to my drive hard ext.  BUT!  A message keeps coming up saying I don't have enough disk space. There are still 931 GB of free space on the disk hard ext. Can someone help me to overcome this problem.

      Just a guess...  How is your external hard drive formatted?  For information, right-click on the drive and select "Properties".  There will be a line of "File System".  If the file system is one of the types of FATS (for example FAT32), then the maximum size of a single file is 4 GB.  If you have files larger than this, you will need to reformat the drive to "NTFS".  The procedure to do this is here:

    • Moving shared files on external hard drive

      I'm moving my photos, videos and iTunes library on an external hard drive, then remove them from my computer to clear space on my Sony Vaio.  I'm running in endless pop-up windows informing me that ' this folder is shared with other people / deleting this folder it is is no longer shared.  The problem with that is that rather than starting the transfer of a large part of the data and to be able to go do something else while it works for a few hours, I have to stay in front of the computer, as the transfer stops until I approve the transfer.  A waste of time.  I tried to change the files so that they are not shared, but I was told that is not possible.  I am the only user of the computer and there only one account user.

      So two questions:
      1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups and just be able to start a transfer of large file without interruptions?
      2. is there a way to do everything on my computer (including everything I add later) unrequited?  I don't think I have any use for the function.

      Thank you

      Hello

      1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

      Cause:

      This is due to the way in which the access control list (ACL) is questioned by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the folder parent and child have different permissions, security two entries are returned, which causes the browser to treat the file as if it is shared.

      Method 1: Perform a clean boot

      Follow the steps in the link below to perform the clean boot and see if you can transfer the files.

      http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

      Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 in the link to your computer in normal mode.

      Method 2:

      Follow the link below and check if that helps.

      You receive a warning popup when you delete a folder that has a change to the ACL

    • Mac &gt; Windows 10 - moving pictures on disk external hard drive C: or?

      First time Windows user; not much experience with LR/PS/cc.

      Before selling my MacBook, I have all my files photo copied on an external drive. I just built a Windows PC and want to copy files from the external drive to the C: drive.

      In the file browser, I see the external drive, drive C:, and "This PC', a section called"Images ". In this framework are three files: Camera Roll, Lightroom, the recorded images. In "Lightroom" is: Lightroom Catalog Previews, catalogue Lightroom, Lightroom Catalog.Ircat.lock, Catalog.Ircat - Lightroom journal.

      Just downloaded PS and LR and the preceding must have been placed on my computer during the download.

      My question is where can I copy files to my external drive to? One of the above or on the C: drive?

      Thanks for any help/suggestions.

      I would certainly put pictures on the external hard drive. There is virtually no advantage to place them on the C: drive, and they don't take up much space.

    • Is there a possibility of the virus being transferred as well for moving files on an external hard drive?

      Hi Cbx_ladyarabica

      Please contact the Microsoft Community.

      I like to show you a point for Microsoft Security Essentials. Want to know if there is a possibility of virus being transferred on the external hard drive and back, as well as files. It's pretty simple and I'm here to help you. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.

      It is a possibility that the virus may be transferred along with the files provided that they are infected, as well. To be on the safe side, I'd like you try to run a full scan on the computer by using various third-party programs (such as suggested by Andre) to ensure that the computer is virus-free.

      NOTE: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    • Copy of images from sources (not moving) on a second external hard drive - Lightroom doesn't not grateful

      I have my images from source on an external drive, but when I copied (not moved) these source images to a second hard drive for backup (via the Finder), Lightroom would not indicate the player or images. How can I get Lightroom to recognize this drive / these images?

      Hi andrewp46044898,

      Greetings.

      You first have to import at least one file of this external drive, so that the reader appears in the records of Lightroom.

      Also, make sure that you have read and write on this external drive access.

    • Printing from Adobe After moving from program on external hard drive

      I have Acrobat Pro Xi running on a Mac (latest OS). I need to move some files from my Macbook Air to give more space on the HARD drive. I moved the folder Adobe, Adobe Application Manager, Adobe Download Assistant and Adobe Acrobat Pro Xi program on an external drive. However, since doing so, I can't print from the program. For more information, I also moved MS Office through and other programs, but not printing problems.

      There was one that I had to bring anywhere with Adobe, or do I need to reinstall the program again?

      Thank you, Kaye

      On Windows, or MacOS you can never just move Adobe applications from one hard disk to another and hope they work.

      You must first completely uninstall the software and then reinstall it on the target disk. There are also some system files that Adobe relies on your stay on the system drive and will be installed there regardless of the hard drive, the main part of the application is installed.

      At this point, try to use the uninstall program. It may or may not succeed in removing the application. Then, manually delete the directories that you moved the original. Then, reinstall the software, focusing on the drive to which you want to install, assuming that Setup allows such an option. If the choice of the installation disc is not provided, you may need to consider other options for obtaining sufficient disk space.

    • Is there a problem if I store briefcase files indefinitely in an external hard drive?

      I was moving my old files from my computer to make room on my desktop computer.

      I organizes the files in the Briefcase and I am moving them to an external hard drive.

      Finally I want to can I transfer to a new computer or sometimes to transfer files to your laptop.

      I was told that the use of portfolio can result in loss of data. Is this true? How?

      Hello

      In aid of the Briefcase to store files does not result in data loss. However, for reasons uncertain when you perform certain actions on the files in the Briefcase on another computer data on the Briefcase cannot synchronize properly which can roll down the changes to the other computer.

    • accidentally tried to move the contents of drive c on external hard drive

      so... I thought that I could free up space by moving everything to an external hard drive.  I tried to move everything on the c:\ drive.  Oops.  He started, but then I think he moved to some files necessary for windows to run, then it stopped working.  I can't move, is back.  tried to use the back, but now access is denied to the c drive.  Anyone know what I need to do?

      It MIGHT be possible, but I think that it depends on many factors, such as the security for the reader and permissions permissions different to elsewhere in the hierarchy of the folders, files or not he used any bitlocker or other protections. I couldn't honestly tell you exactly how to get started.  It might be useful to plug it into another computer, just to see if you can copy the files by taking possession of the records and yourself permission, but that may end up being a dead end too.

    • Is it possible to work on projects iMovie on external hard drives in order to save disk space on my macbook (the internal hard drive has little space)?

      Hello!

      I have a problem working with iMovie on my MacBook Air... Drive HARD internal of the MacBook is unfortunately to small for the biggest projects iMovie... Is there a way to work on external hard drives or perhaps TimeCapsule?

      Thank you very much in advance!

      Yes, put your iMovie library/ies on a fast (7200 RPM) external hard drive to the Apple format is a good way of working.  Details of the setting up of libraries are covered in the help files to:

      http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov3fa25bae7

      Note that you may need to consolidate the media in an existing library before you travel to avoid breaking links to media located in the libraries from other Apple applications.  See:

      http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/Mac/10.1/#/mov882dee351

      I would not recommend using Time Capsule - you would need a separate partition above the used by time machine, and you could put some data on the same drive as backup.  Connection speed can also be a problem.

    • Problem moving iTunes to external hard drive

      Hi my old laptop (works on Windows Vista) think that all my music is located on the way on my c: drive by default, in fact, all my music is on my external hard drive. I know how to change the path via the preferences on my hard drive, but how to import my music without creating a massive amount of duplicates? Thanks in advance for any help.

      See make a library of portable split. If your library is in the standard layout and that you moved the folder media manually, then move the main iTunes folder to the root of the drive, put the inside and shift-Start iTunes media folder. This must be equivalent to a simple move of a portable library.

      Otherwise, see this post - Re: iPod doesn't sync not all -advice on the reissue of links the library to the media outsourced. Ideally, you would set things in a provision of mobile as part of the same process to make sure that the library on external drive is ready to connect to any computer replacement. You should also backup to a second drive.
