• With the help of Windows Easy Transfer - need to transfer the old HARD drive to new computer - old HDD attached as external drive for the new usb port of the computer - help

  New computer installed Windows 7 and gave me an option to use Windows easy transfer to transfer files, data, programs, etc. from my old computer.  All I have from the old computer's hard drive; a lightning strike fried either food or his mother by car.  I have attached the hard as a disk to the new computer using the usb cable provided with the external hard drive case.  It is recognized as drive E: on the new computer.

  Trying to follow the instructions given by the Windows Easy Transfer software.  Get the software/folder from the old hard drive (drive E), but trying to run the software that I can't seem to do anything on the old disk.  When asked what is the former or the new computer - I respond to old, but no new file is created for the transfer.  When I answer again, a new file is created on the new computer (rather than the old HDD) and then he transferred again to new.  I can't create a file of whatever it is I want to transfer from the old HDD.

  I can't use an easy transfer cable because the old computer does not only the hard drive.  I can't connect to a network for the same reason.  I only have the hard that I can attach to the new computer.  But I can't get the new computer to process the old hard drive separately for transfer purposes.  The only other option I can think of is to attach the old HDD to another computer, and then try to run the software in this way, but I don't want just the stuff on the old hard drive a copy to the other computer.

  Can anyone help?  Suggest how to get the old hard drive files, data, transferred etc. to the new computer.  What are the steps?

  Thank you.

  Do yourself a favor, with the old drive connected externally, in the browser, simply copy the data files to the location of Documents of the PC win7. You can not copy programs, they need to be reinstalled from media origonal. You can copy all the downloaded files instalation

  You may need to take possession of your old documents folders - see win help to find out how

• Just migrated to the new MacBook Pro and plugged an external drive with VM - has made "move" or "copy"?

  Hi-

  I just used Migration Assistant to transfer my account (including Fusion) of my old MBP to my new MBP. My VIsta 64 - bit VM Fusion is and resides on an external HARD drive. so, after the migration successful (apparently) I connected the external drive to the new machine and (ii) grown up merge.  Fusion has seen the virtual machine, I selected to motorise the. Merge request now:

  Did you move this virtual machine, or you copied it?

  It seems to me that I did, nor as the volume disk external DRIVE containing the Vista VM was not mounted at the time of migration (in fact, the drive has been disconnected). I copied the platform, including the Fusion, from one physical machine to another.

  I know this is probably an easy answer, but I don't want to blow up this very important step in getting my new machine, running and functional.  ?:|

  Help!

  Instant wrote:

  Thus, it is "moved", even if no bit VM have been transferred or altered in any way and the virtual machine remains resident in the same volume on the external hard drive?

  Yes, it's "I moved it" in order to maintain the same UUID and MAC address, which should keep the machine virtual Windows FRO Windows Product Activation trigger.

  Now to the other...

  As I pointed out in the original post, and you noted in your response, I transferred Fusion to the new machine (for the internal HARD disk) via the Migration Wizard. What should I do now? Uninstalling merge on the new machine, and then download and reinstall? (I'm on v2.04; I guess I would upgrade comes in support of w/SL v2.05...) ? Or NOT uninstall but rather update to v2.05 (easier)?

  I run the uninstall and then install Fusion 2.0.5. (Note: Fusion 2.x is not a dynamic update)  Uninstalling/reinstalling also Fusion will not delete your Virtual Machines.

• Why is my internal ssd flash drive reports as an external drive

  I just upgraded to an SSD to allow installation of Win-10 of 1 TB. Bootcamp and 'about this mac' see my new ssd 1 TB as an external drive and won't let me move forward in bootcamp.

  It's the only drive connected to the system, it replaced the 250 GB internal drive so why he reported as external.

  Any - one know why this is or has a fix for this problem?

  Please perform the following two procedures

  Reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

• Cloning of an external drive for Time Machine

  If I want to create a clone of my HD bootable, can I use an existing external drive that is used for the TM? Or would I need to create a partition in the drive and the clone to this partition? Or, finally, if you clone a drive with SuperDuper! or CCC or backup Guru they will make the clone bootable for you? TX

  1. Yes, but you must use a separate drive; You can fail at any time.

  2. If you choose to use a single drive (see #1), you need to partition. The backup Time Machine will use eventually all free space on the volume, holding it.

  3 Yes, unless otherwise stated.

• Install Windows 8 on external drive Thunderbolt - Windows could not prepare the computer to begin the next phase of installation

  Hi all

  I'm at my wit's end trying to install windows 8. Let me start at the beginning: I used to have windows running on my Mac Pro ssd internal 8.1, installed via bootcamp. It worked well for a while, and then refused to start, gives me a blue screen KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. Despite some advice from lonely T, I was unable to fix and ended up wiping the partition and relocation, again via bootcamp. Yet once again, it worked for a few months, then the same problem. I made this one last time, and it only lasted 2 days... So I gave bootcamp.

  I think that the hybrid MBR partition scheme that implements bootcamp is the culprit, but I don't really have evidence to substantiate this claim. In any case, I tried to install windows in EFI mode. (If I understand correctly, the hybrid MBR is set up to allow windows to install in legacy BIOS mode, but that windows 8 may now install efi, which supports my Mac Pro mode.) My Mac is the new Mac Pro (end of 2013, trash in shape), and I can say short UEFI 2.0 (I have the latest efi update from apple installed).

  The method I'm trying:

  1. create a new partition in HFS + on my external drive using disk utility. The drive has now it's efi partition and partition empty 750Go I want to install windows a 1.25 TB storage partition that I use with my mac. It has a GPT. I formatted HFS + and no FAT, because I think that disk utility creates the same hybrid-MBR as training camp every time a FAT partition is created.

  2. use gdisk to confirm that the disc does not have a hybrid-MBR. (sudo/dev/disk1 gdisk watch MBR: protection)

  3 restart my mac and hold the possibility to put in place to bring up the boot efi menu.

  4. Select the EFI_Boot DVD icon (that's the windows 8 install dvd that I have in my superdrive USB drive)

  5. go in the menus of the disk selection screen installation and delete the partition in HFS +, I created to install windows on (the format option is not available)

  6. now select "Unallocated space" on the good drive and click Next.

  The problem:

  Partitioning seems to go ok (there is no feedback on this basis, but it proceeds to the next screen, and all new partitions expected are there if I check diskutil list later). He said it is "copy of windows files", but then stops with the error "Windows has no prepare the computer to start the next phase of the installation." To install Windows, restart the installation. "If I restart, I can start the same process all over again and get the same result.

  The Question:

  How I get this error and get windows install?

  Extra pieces:

  • The first time it happened I assumed it was the new sip / thing "without roots" in El Capitan, causing problems, then I disabled, but I still get the same error.
  • After reviewing the diskutil list output after one of installs it without success, I found that a labeled EFI partition has been created after my storage partition (the original efi partition was still there in the upper part of the disc).
  • I have windows 8.1 installed now bootcamp on my internal ssd. It was planned to use it and winToUSB to put windows on my crush, but I found that it only works with usb2. I do not have installed could cause problems with the installation on another disk.
  • Before say you I can't run windows on an external, yes you can, and many people have. I read windows sees thunderbolt internal disks.
  • I read a few other posts on this and other sites on this problem, but could not find a pertitnant solution to my situation. I found one that suggested to remove the efi on my disk partition, but that seemed like a bad idea, so I didn't try.
  • I write this at 1 in the morning after a day spent in front of the computer trying to get this working, so please excuse typos typing or other. I am pleased to provide you with any pertinant information helping you will help me.
  • Thank you!

  The other thing I tried also almost succeeded:

  Although I prefer to get the method above works, because it seems the most promising, is something else, I've tried that I thought worth mentioning. If you offer advice pertaining to this method rather than the above, I would appreciate it if you could explicitly declare that at the top of your answer. Thank you.
  

  I tried to install windows on the physical disk using vmware and virtual box. The instrutctions I followed for this can be found here: http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/2011/2156 (the only thing different, it's because it's on an external drive, I created the Fat 32 partition manually using disk utility). The first time (using vmware) installation seems to go off without a hitch, but I couldn't get my computer to see the windows partition as bootable with the boot efi menu hold-option regular refined or with system preferences-> startup disk. I think that I was using always inadvertently a hybrid-MBR at this stage. I tried to repeat this new beginning with the first two steps above to avoid the hybrid-MBR. But now when I try to create the virtual machine based on the gross vmdk, it starts to copy the files then says not sufficient permissions and fails. I don't know if it's a permission with the disk or the hard problem. I tried chmod 777 and chown $USER of the vmdk disk (/ dev/disk1s3) does not.

  Wow, that was a long post...

  1. when a second drive is detected by the Windows Setup program, he wants to create his own brand of EFI (104 MB) and not to mess with the Mac EFI (200 MB). You can force it to use the EFI to the Mac using Diskpart commands.

  2 instead of HFS/FAT32, create a piece of 750 GB free space and it should only get a new MSR/MSD, without the part of EFI.

  3. on your VM method, the link you have is quite old. You have a MP 2013, with references to the 2010 Mac alumni and is a bit too archaic to be useful. http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/install-a-Windows-7-partition-on-Mac-OSX-Wit hout-optical-car-or - usb.1836959 / #post... seems to work for many and can be useful for a test.

• Movement music from itunes to a new external drive

  Hello!

  So there are a lot of questions in the face of this general problem, but I found no one who comes close to my situation.

  There are at present all music from my iTunes (~1.4 TB) library is shared between two external drives. I just bought a new laptop (3 TB) and would like to move - preferably not copy, I know that straight-up moving items between volumes is possible in the terminal, I don't know the right commands - all this music to the new drive. My iTunes Library.itl and the rest of the folder iTunes at the same time, are on my computer, I don't know if we keep them there or move them as well.

  I use any file "iTunes Media. Most of my library is rips of CD and downloads without loss, and I prefer to keep the organized myself (as including scans of records covers music and writing notes and other information about the record such as comments). "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy the files into the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is, therefore, both uncontrolled. And I think that naming a new file on the new drive as "iTunes Media" and then checking "Consolidate files" in the file > library > organize library to copy all the music she would keep the folder structure I created or transfer through the images, log files, PDF files, etc..

  Can anyone advise on what would allow me to do this with a minimum of disruption to my iTunes library (IE not having to add all and recreate all my playlists, etc., which, in itself, would take another hours 20, or whatever on top of the amount of time it will take to move all files?)

  Thanks in advance!

  OS X 10.7.5 / iTunes 12.1.2.27

  If you want iTunes to do the work (as expected), let iTunes do its work...    That would mean designate a location on the new drive for the iTunes Media folder (in the Advanced iTunes preferences pane) by using the command to "consolidate files" (-> library menu bar-> organize the library-> consolidate the files).

  IF all your current iTunes media on the external drive files are on a SINGLE volume (not two), you can copy your folder structure complete (for your iTunes media files) to the new volume of external hard drive (using the Finder).  Then with iTunes works DO NOT, unplug the old external drive and rename the new external drive exactly the same name volume as the old volume of external drive.  Basically, do the new disc looks like the old drive to iTunes.  When you run iTunes, the "routes" to its multimedia files are the same as before, so iTunes sees no difference.

  But since your iTunes media is 'shared between two external drives', you can't do it cleanly.  If a part is much more important, you could do the above with the majority only.  Now, at this point, you can use it in this way, with the new external drive as your main expansion of storage in course, and existing 'other' always connected player.  In iTunes, it seems again the same as before.

  If you want that all your media files to iTunes on the new external drive...  Copy this second folder (with your smallest part of iTunes media) structure to the new external drive (using the Finder).  With iTunes doesn't work DO NOT, unplug the 'other' external drive.  When you run iTunes, it loses track of media files in this part (but keep those songs with exclamation point in the library).  This next part may or may not work.  When iTunes spot is no longer a song file, when you try to play it, iTunes will ask if you want to locate.  I heard that if you do this for a song (by pointing to the new location for this piece), iTunes can extrapolate the locations for the other files 'disappeared' of the song.  If it does not work with the first song (or partially works), try to do it for a little more.  Worst case, you will need to add the songs in the smaller part manually.

• Use existing footage of the external drive instead save the library?

  I can't find any info on the internet for this using FCPX.   There is a sequence library file that records your videos (makes copies) in the library of FCPX.   You have to do if you already have your video on an external drive?  Otherwise, I am just double everything I have and fill up my external drive even faster with 4 K images.  FCPX should the images of the library that are duplicated or can work with existing external images already on my drive (copied from my GH4).

  Images can be stored either inside the whole library, or it can be stored in a place designated outside the library. Media imported from a camera, a camera card or camera archive must be copied to the location of library media, either inside the library or to the designated place. Media who are not in a camera folder structure can be left in its original location and linked to the PCF, using symbolic links.

  So "GH4 copied" is not really accurate enough. If you copy the media in its folder structure, media have again copy in the location of library of the PCF. If you check out the media out of the folder structure on your hard drive you can use it in FCP with symbolic links, even if you run the danger that the media are not treated properly or it separates symbolic links through mismanagement.

• Creating a new iTunes merged on external drive library

  I'm currently using 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1 - I got lots and lots of problems with iTunes and libraries corrupt and have got to the point where I did all my playlists and so on are lost.

  I'm done with all my music files shared between two folders - there are duplicates between these records, but as far as I know, nothing is actually missing. As I don't have enough space on the hard drive of the current computer to consolidate those two files, I have them have copied onto an external hard drive - now I want to consolidate the library on the external hard drive in order to pass all the music to a new version of iTunes on my new iMac.

  Can someone tell me how can I do? I guess I need to move the iTunes application itself on the external drive to consolidate the two music files here - it is a simple process, and it will work?

  First of all, you must certainly not move the application iTunes itself.  Secondly, as you said you copied your separate music files on the external hard drive you should still have them in their location of origin - otherwise, you should copy them back again before proceeding and make sure you can always play your music in iTunes.  The function of the iTunes "Consolidate library" is to copy the media files from their current locations to another of your choice, and update the iTunes database so that all references to the location of your media files are correctly updated.

  The correct procedure to follow is:

  1. External hard disk, create a folder called "iTunes", then in this folder, create one called "iTunes Media.
  2. In iTunes, select iTunes > Preferences > advanced, and then change the setting for the iTunes Media folder iTunes/iTunes Media on your external drive
  3. Now select file > library > organize a library..., check the files to consolidate and, if not grayed, the reorganize files.. box
  4. Click OK - iTunes won't copy each multimedia file that is located in a valid entry in your database for iTunes to the hierarchy of standard folder in iTunes/iTunes Media external hard disk
  5. Once this process is complete, check that your music plays again - when you have verified the results, you can then delete the original files that iTunes has just copied your media since.

  This will produce a working library with all media on the external hard drive, as you have described.  However, at this point, you have a shared library with the database of iTunes and other data to support on a single disc and your media on another.  Manipulation of backups, migrating to a new computer, replication to other computers, etc., works best if you have the complete library on the external hard drive - see tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

• New Mac, same disk external DRIVE for the library; does not see the files

  I reconnected my iTunes library from a disk external DRIVE to my new computer, but iTunes does not recognize my files of the ALAC instead, he goes to the cloud and plays music from Apple things. How can I listen to my files? All the files are there, the library is intact; I changed the path in iTunes. Without result. He always plays with the cloud.

  You do not change the path in iTunes.  Who does as it says which is tell iTunes where media files [new] store. You change the path you launch iTunes by holding down the option/alt key, while the application starts and then choose when prompted the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder you included if all goes well on the hard disk external.  If everything you have on the outside are media files, then you better head for your old computer fast and get the rest of the library there.  It's the rest of these files in the iTunes folder that make up the other half of the 'library' iTunes needs.

• import music from the external drive to new itunes

  Hello... Had to delete and reinstall all iOS on my MacBook Pro 2012. Have always worked iTunes on an external drive. All my music is and do not want it on my computer. Can not find a way to import it back in to new 12.4.0.119 Capitan 10.11.5 running iTunes. Help, please.

  Do you mean OSX? iOS does not work on a computer.

  Launch iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes external hard disk folder. If all you have on the media on your external drive then the structure of your library is lost and you must start with a new library. Go to iTunes > Preferences > advanced and set to use your external hard disk's current media folder.  In a window of iTunes, then drag your media folder.

• New itunes install. All the songs are on an external hard drive. A lot of songs do not show up in itunes, but they are in the folder on the external drive.

  This seems to be a common problem:

  Recently I had to reinstall Win 10 & then itunes. All the songs are on an external HD iTunes does not show a large number of songs that are in the folder on the external drive. I copied the .itl to the new itunes folder. I also tried holding down - from itunes shift - select a library. Any ideas how to be able to see the songs in the itunes on the hard drive folder in the itunes library?

  Thanks in advance

  See make a library of portable split. Have you copied the correct .itl file, or should you connect an external hard disk .itl file? If you can find the correct .itl, it should have all your songs and playlists. See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library when the library has been altered for the first time with the new system.
