• How to partition an external hard drive Seagate

  My old external HD Time Machine does not so I bought a 2 TB Seagate Backup more Portable Drive to replace it. It has been formatted for Windows but provided a configuration "NTFS_ Mac download for_ I ran. I'd like to partition the drive & use 1 TB for Time Machine.

  When I go into disk utility, I cannot and select the Seagate HD, the choice of the Partition is grey and not selectable.

  Any suggestion how to get this HD formatted correctly so that it is recognized in disk utility?

  I guess that the external hard drive is formatted NTFS, so disk utility does not have to perform all the tasks in this topic. It you can't format it on some Windows system with the FAT file system? Once the FAT is made, the Mac of THE it reformats with HFS. However if you want to do with the above partition size (1 TB HFS and 1 TB NTFS or FAT) then can try you with a disk management utility.

  You should have saves CERT, as you were warned to do when encrypting the drive. Creating a "password reset disk" would have done, too. (I hope you're not expecting to break bitlocker encriptación :)

• When I plug my new Seagate Free Agent Desk GoFlex external drive, I get an error message saying that Windows does not recognize the hardware. I'm stuck and need help to install the external hard drive.

  My problem is that the software is supposed to be on the disk but I do not see the player to download. I tried to download the Seagate Manager, but it shows no available disks. Any help will be most appreciated.

  Also, I tried to install the external hard drive on a Windows Vista 64-bit computer and a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  Same result on both.

• External hard drive Seagate

  Since the upgrade to Sierra, my Macbook will not recognize when my external 4 TB of Seagate hard drive is connected (no problems before the upgrade).  Another problem is that when I click on the Finder icon in the tray, opens a finder window, then whole screen turns black momentarily, then returns to the top with all the icons, but the finder window is now gone.

  You must update the Paragon NTFS driver. You can find the updated version on the Seagate support site at:

• What is an I / Q error? This occurs with the backups using external hard drive SeaGate

  We have two external hard drives; a 3Terabyte (don't know how it) Seagate and another whose name escapes me. On the Seagate, I get the message: backup did not complete due to I / Q error. What is I / Q error and how to fix this? If all goes well, not a complicated process.

  Thanks for any help. Hope I selected the areas to fix this, below.

  Hello

  I assumed that by I / Q error you mean error e/s? Run chkdsk on the drive Seagate:

  Start > Search bar > type cmd right click and select run as administrator

  High CMD should now be open, type the following:

  CHKDSK x: /r

  x involves the reader of your letter, so if your hard drive in question is the letter c, it would be:

  CHKDSK c: /r

  Restart the system and allow to run chkdsk.

  Kind regards

• Lightroom CC backup on external hard drive Seagate

  My Seagate hard drive is perfectly functional, make backups of several programs, including CClone, Joelle, and Time Machine.

  Yet when I recently tried to backup a catalog from Lightroom CC, I get the following error message.

  
  

  "Lightroom is unable to create a folder for your exports in the location you have chosen. Please select a different location. »

  
  

  Lightroom has no problem backup up to my 2 TB Lacie external hard drives.

  
  

  I use a Mac Pro with the latest version of the OS

  
  

  Can you guide me through this?

  This is the location you have chosen, IE the folder on the drive. Create a new folder on this drive called Lightroom backups and LR point in this folder to make its backups to. In Finder Right click on the new folder that you created and make sure that your username has both read + write permission.

  Also, it's a bad idea to have a single drive for Time Machine and store other files on this disc. Time Machine should have it own dedicated player to do back ups for that is not used for anything else.

• Cannot access an external hard drive lost, encrypted BitLocker recovery key and do not know where to enter the password to unlock it.

  I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-Bit on a Sony Vaio. Worked great, seems awsome and rolls GOOS GOOS, for a new operating system. I decided to use the BitLocker feature that I wanted to use from Vista Ultimate, which was incredibly dificult unlike BitLocker in Windows 7, which is extremely simple to use. So simple in fact, I encrypted my external hard drive Verbatim 160 Gig where the original BACKUP files are with ALL my original documents, settings and files of the company are located. I haven't used a USB key, or don't have I recorded the RecoveryKey, I printed and completely loses it, I remember perfectly well the password I used. Problem is I have NOW, I can't ACCESS MY HARD DRIVE! When I try to access the hard drive it asked me not the password recovery key. Please help me, im in deep poopie. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...

  Hey thanks for the reply Kev, but I must say that I did and didn't. The new Windows 7 operating system has this feature built-in and it is much easier to use. So yes I did it, but I made using windows 7 have where, instead of download all the files, I just insert the original DVD of WIndows 7, I restart my PC and follow the instructions of recovery of BitLocker recovery key, and voila. The problem is that I've NEVER stored on this particular external hard drive recovery key. BTW: I tried to follow the steps mentioned by Mr. Vijay but inconsistent tool with my operating system (Windows 7 64-Bit) it only works with Vista (not 150 percent certain but close). Please correct me if Im wrong. I wish I could change the world, if only I could find a diapper big enough to hold so many things...

• External hard drive (Seagate) not readable after the ejection using Thunderbolt cable

  Not sure where this question fits as this seems to be a Thunderbolt cable problem but here goes...

  I have 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus external drives for archiving with two drives - backup A and B backup - and two interfaces, a basis of love at first sight and a standard basis of USB3.

  Using the basis of love at first sight that I backed up to 1.5 TB of data on a Mac logged to A disk and ejected from backup format. When I reassembled A backup to verify the data Finder says the drive is not a recognizable car and I had to reformat. I thought that I must have crashed head or something like the disc was still running when I pulled it off the base of love at first sight. When I got tired to reformat the drive in disk utility only 500 GB of the 4TB were available for formatting, so I thought that I've certainly got to have damaged it.

  Then I saved my 1.5 TB of data to a second drive Seagate Backup Plus (backup B) but when I eject this drive (this time I waited to stop and pulled the power over the base before you remove the disk) and then lift the drive that the same error came in the Finder. Suspecting it was the Thunderbolt interface I swapped backup to the base of the USB3 B and all the data is there! I checked A backup and even if she had to be reformatted this time all the 4 TB of capacity was available.

  I also have a Rugged Lacie 2 TB drive with a Firewire interface and it seems to work just fine so maybe the Thunderbolt Apple cable or Seagate sight base. I don't have a second Thunderbolt cable to test with at the moment.

  As a secondary issue readers are not run down after eject either. The heads are parked, but readers continue so I have to pull the power and wait that it happen down before I can remove basic USB3 disks or love at first sight. This problem, even if it's embarrassing, I can live with. In the foreseeable future I'll use the basis of the USB3.

  Everyone knows about this problem before? It sounds really weird.

  I can only give you my opinion of WD boxes and I'm afraid that's not good. My experience with WD boxes have always been bad. My suggestion is to try another TB cable and see if that's it, if not then try to connect another device to your iMac Thunderbolt and test to see if it is the iMac, which I doubt it is. If this isn't the cable or the iMac, then you know that it's the condom. If the disks are recoverable from the speaker, remove them and get a TB of high-quality speaker. My vote goes to OWC (www.macworld.com) pregnant Thunderbolt.

• External hard drive Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex ultra-portable 500 GB Silver

  My Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex ultra-portable 500 GB drive hard primer not on my computer toshiba laptop.  I used the hard drive first to save things to my iMac and it worked fine.  When I connected it to my laptop (windows 7), it seems to work (the light is on), but it seems not be formatted to the computer and does not appear in Explorer?  It should start automatically on any PC.  Can anyone help?

  Mac and PC does not use the same "formats" for their drives.  You must locate the special "pilot" the Seagate 'provide' so one to allow a Mac format GoFlex drive is accessible on Windows.

• My imac (El Capitan 10.11.6 - 2 Terabyts) complete and FCPX disk will not work. I moved a few fcpxbundles library to an external hard drive (seagate 2 trabyte) and erased from the iMac. NowFCPX said that missing data as effects therefore can not shar

  Help!  My FCPX (v - 10.2.3) does not work because my iMac drive is full (iMac 21.5 inch has 2 terabyte w / v OS El Capitan 10.11.6) I had tried to free up space by moving tons of files on a usb disk Seagate (2 terabyte) speedboat that barely made a dent. then on the advice of a friend I found (in movies) a file called Final Cut backups. There were 4 files with extension, ".fcpbundle" I have three of them moved to another drive to Seagate usb - they had 2.82 GB, 21.6 GB and GB 68,21 that I thought should be enough and them removed from my iMac drive - bad! It says I have only 13.46 GB free on my 2 terabyte iMac total!

  The fourth fcpbundle it's TB 1.72! But before leaving that I returned and opened FCPX and found the warning triangle around my library... While my last project looked OK I couldn't / the share of exports because the pop-up says FCPX has no data for efx etc (the media looked at and display fine) and cannot be taken out.

  FCPX can work with the "beams" moved to another drive? How the detectable in a new place? Or how to put them back?
  How can I make sure that future packages clutter my iMac again?

  Do I need a RAID disks? If yes which?

  I found other folders in folders 'Make files' and records backup for projects with the .fcpbundle inside files

  How can I get this sucker working again?... and what should I do to keep him from doing the same thing in the future?

  Thank you

  :.. then on the advice of a friend I found a file called Final Cut backups (in movies). There were 4 files with extension, ".fcpbundle" I have three of them moved to another drive to Seagate usb - they had 2.82 GB, 21.6 GB and GB 68,21:

  The backup files are only the database files (no media) and must be low, not gigabytes, do not know what is happening there.

  Media libraries stored in the bundle of FCP X library or stored outside?

  If stored at the breast, called managed media, simply copy and paste the library to a different location.

  Make sure that library books newly located correctly before you remove what either.

  Perhaps check your settings of the library.

  Click the library icon in the browser and it appears in the Inspector:

  

  By clicking on change settings shows this:

  

  Move the mouse over the media and it will reveal the path where things are sent.

  Then you might be able to track down what goes where.

  From you description, it seems that most of the media files and rendered is not be moved successfully.

  Some screenshots would be useful if you can't find where stuff is.

  Cancel the installation of Seagate, open 'Computer', find the Seagate drive letter and start using it like any other drive on your system.
