• 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.

• Connecting the computer to the library on external drive

  I just set up my new computer and down loaded Lightroom cc and plunged my external hard drive, thinking that everything would he NOT do I have to do to create a link to the library?

  Your screen clip suggests that you watch a new empty catalog.

  Do NOT re-importation of images in this empty catalog.

  You must close Lightroom, plug in your external drive (a single! the 'master'), use Finder to locate your catalog of work on this drive (it will be named as xxxxx. LRCAT), then double click to OPEN this catalog file.

  I hope it loads in Lightroom with all your images and visible work.

  Remember that Lightroom is a database program! the database is called xxxx. LRCAT.  The database retains information about your images, but it shows that you have imported images!

  * If your catalog is not on the external hard drive then you may have lost it in the "old" computer Do you have backups of the file catalog anywhere where you can copy? It is available in the computer 'old '.

• I copied the photo library on external drive, and that one photo now shows despite the file being 70 GB.

  I had a library in iPhoto on an external HARD drive, and it worked. This is a disc plu so I decided to replace it with a new one that doesn't take much space on my desk. I copied the library through an external DRIVE to another drive, and it seemed to work. However, it now shows that a single photo despite being listed in the file manager as containing more than 70 GB.

  I explored a bit further in the file using finder and preview and found many files sorted by date. The photos seem to be all there, but they appear in iPhoto when I switched to this library. Always only one picture appears.

  I decided to convert the copied pictures from iPhoto library and it took a lot of time to convert, but the converted library always display just a single photo in Photos when I switch to this library.

  I could import all of them individually, but it's a big enough job, if there is a way to get libraries to work correctly.

  Any suggestions?

  We need the details - what format is the drive? How is it connected? It serves a TM backup Volume? How you copied the library itself? The library still works fine on the old drive? anything else you can tell us which could help a total strange who don't see you help?

• Cannot copy Windows.old to an external drive

  I did a custom Win XPx64 Win 7 upgrade in which emerged the Windows.old folder on my C: drive. I'm trying to copy Windows.old to the root of a USB external drive using Windows Explorer. The process finishes almost but then the message "Destination path too long. The file names would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path. "The options are Skip and cancel. There is a checkbox "do this for all current items (75 found). There is no indication of specific files causing the problem so I don't know if I can safely ignore these files.

  How can I copy Windows.old without having this problem? (I then want to delete Windows.old in C: to free up disk space).

  There is no need to backup the Windows.old folder, all you need to do is make sure that your personal files that may exist in have been copied to your personal folders in Windows 7, then delete.

  You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

• Migrating to a new computer - PSE library on external drive

  Hi all

  I just bought a new computer today and have already downloaded and installed PES 9. My library of items lives on an external drive connected by USB. I have not yet open PSE on the new machine, but I do not have the external drive now hanging on to her.

  What should I do to ensure that the PES 'find' my library? It will be obvious once I open the PES? I guess I have to point to the library somehow; can someone tell me which file we need?

  Thank you!

  Maybe this isn't a problem, as in the most recent versions of the EPS, the number of real player serianl is what the PSE uses and that has not changed.

  If it seemed to be a problem, change your drive letters so that the external drive on the new computer is F.

• Problem loading sansa e280 after hard drive reformat

  
  

  Load should not require a driver. Are plug you the cord directly into the computer (not a hub) and you have tried all the USB ports on the computer? Some, usually at the back, offer more power than others.

  Another thing, you could try is simply the opening on the back of the Sansa with a small screwdriver - don't waste the itty-bitty screw - and take the battery out and put it in comfortably. Simply, it can detach.

  Even if it is somehow a driver problem, the drivers for the Sansa are both in Windows itself: the driver USB Windows base and that of the PSG in Windows Media Player 10 or 11 (not 9, one supplied with Windows XP).

  Try putting the Sansa MSC mode (under Settings/USB mode), which works on the USB driver. And try to update Windows Media Player (download it from www.microsoft.com) to 10 or 11, if you use MTP mode.

  When connecting the Sansa, look in Device Manager (XP location is probably different - tab Settings/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager in Vista) and see if there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. If you see that, uninstall this device and restart. Windows should reinstall a working driver.

• I need to transfer my docs from old XP to format external drive to new computer Vista.

  This XP formatted external drive is partitioned into several directories. They stored the files wmv, songs, photos, etc.

  When I plug in USB, Vista computer said that it has found the driver DEVICE USB IA37L080ATVC07-2. But this hard drive storage has not shown in the file manager.

  Since my Office XP no longer works, I took the primary hard drive and a plan to set up as external drive to retrieve the documents and files...

  Does anyone know how to make a Vista machine to copy files from external hard drives in XP?

  Open "Disk Management" and see if the USB drive is listed, if so, then simply assign a drive letter to each partition on the USB drive. Then, open Windows Explorer and copy your files on the computer of Vista Basic.

• Problems copying files on the external drive via Windows Explorer (Windows 7)

  I have intermittent problems, but that gets worse when you try to copy files/folders on external HD or a Memory Stick via the Explorer W. It happens more often with major issues and seems just to lock up with little or no reproduction has been made.

  Is this a known error I hope be solved via W update?

  Is there an another wau to copy is not using the Explorer W?

  Thank you, in advance, for any advice.

  Run a disk error check on all players used to ensure there is no format/disk etc. on the disc error. It find or correct errors?

  If the check has not helped, then re-create the Explorer copy problem, then some time after, open the event viewer, as shown below.

  When "Event Viewer" is open, click on "top of viewer (local) event progresses in the window and"summer event of the administration"in the central panel, is there 'critical' or 'errors' contained in the last hour?" If so, what are they?

  Open the event - viewer http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Open-event-viewer#1TC=Windows-7

  If there is nothing wise of the error listed then as a test, try to start as a "clean boot". The problem then? Don't leave as a minimum, just boot it use for a test and return to the normal start thereafter.

• How to migrate pictures from iPhoto Library on external drive to the Photos?

  I deleted my computer today and try to import photos from a backup Time Machine, in Photos. I find the iPhoto library and clicked on "View the contents of the package" to reveal a bunch of files. I'm currently moving the entire iPhoto library on my desk, but it's more than 100 GB in size, so I was wondering if there is a more direct method? (All photos are stored in the folder 'Masters'? Could import from there?)

  Please if someone could help me with this I would be very happy! Sorry for the ambiguity in my formulation of the question and happy New Year! Thank you in advance.

  To migrate the iPhoto Library from a backup Time Machine pictures use Time Machine to restore the iPhoto library to a folder on your Mac. Then drag the library restored on the Photos icon in the Dock to open the iPhoto library. Photos will create a library of Photos transferred from the iPhoto library with all your changes, titles, captions, keywords, assigned albums. If you try to import the folder of masters you will only import the photos, but lose the structure of the library and all your work that you did in iPhoto.

• Help! 2005 old macbook / can not download the new itunes

  I have a ton of music on my computer in Itunes. I would put some of this music on my new 6 s the Iphone. How can I get music from my old computer to my phone?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  iOS9 on a mobile device requires iTunes 12.3 or higher, which in turn requires a computer running OSX 10.8.5 or higher.  Update of the system only checks the updates for the current version of the system you run, but that itself can be updated.  It may or may not be possible to upgrade your computer to the system requirements. Find your computer on the web site of http://www.everymac.com model and near the bottom of the specification of the system section, he will tell what versions of the operating system, it is able to run. If you can not run a newer system, you will not be able to sync this phone to your current computer. If she can run 10.8.5 or higher, you can either buy a download for Apple OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion code online, or you can try to install the free El Capitan OSX 10.11.  El Capitan can run slower on older machines and require the additional purchase of RAM.  Making a big jump in versions of system is also more likely to affect the old software.

• iTunes ignores the library I copied on my new PC

  I have a new PC and a fresh install of iTunes. I don't have any old PC to export/backup/whatever of. I only have his readers.

  I copied the \users\ < username > \Music\iTunes\iTunes Media of an old drive to the iTunes media folder location pointed to by iTunes on the new PC.  I also copied the files in \users\ < username > \Music\iTunes (e.g. iTunes Library.itl).

  But iTunes does not show my library.  It shows the songs I purchased on the iTunes store. with a download of cloud icon. I see no other music

  I suppose I could play one of the songs and see if it puts it in the right place or wrong - but I suspect, it will be in the right place despite the file being already there and make a duplicate.

  The library is on the local drive.  I copy and paste the path to the configuration iTunes box to a shell to check that it was OK.

  I met problems similar years, every time that I moved to a new PC or new player.  I remember the old library before importing in the new iTunes and if I remember correctly, it's a mess.  So this time, I looked for instructions and so far they do not work.

  In the past I had to use a 3rd party app to remove duplicates iTunes created.  Really hoping I can get to use my library without making a mess of it.

  You can have a case of the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library.

• Photos will not open the iPhoto on an external drive, already "migrated" library

  I moved my iPhoto to an external drive library, updated, then "migrated" photo library with the drive connected. Once I opened the Photos without the drive connected, and there is a library 'Photos' of 9 seemingly random photos. Now, the pictures will not open the old library with the drive connected. Is there a way to change the pictures in the library accesses?

  Here's the disclaimer that I get: the contents of the iPhoto 'iPhoto Library' library has already migrated to the Photos.  Open the Photos to display your library or use a compatible version of iPhoto to open the iPhoto library.

  (But it does not open the library on the external hard drive).

  Search and select the library located on the EHD and click Choose library.  The location of the selected library will appear just below the window.
