Restore backup drive ext

Failed to upgrade to El Capitan, not recent upward. Apple customer support helped me to back up my files on an external hard drive (WD My passport for Mac) nd formatted the hard drive and installed at El Capitan. I have now an empty machine and all my photos etc on the disc Ext. given of its my only copy of the data, I'm being very careful. How can I transfer the files to the hard drive on my Mac to then save on the ext and (probably) iCloud drive safely.

I'd get a flash drive and copy your photos into the flash player.

You can use the migration wizard to move your stuff to you new boot drive

  • How can I restore my contacts, messages and folders to a backup drive?

    I had to replace my main C: drive. My old install Thunderbird is on another internal drive. I installed Thunderbird on the new drive. I can access all the files on the backup drive. But how do I do a restore to my mail, mail files, and list of contacts? How can I find the necessary files?

  • can not find restored files after restoring backup hard drive

    I had a problem with my computer so I reset my PC back to factory setting. Before doing anything, I backed up all my documents/pictures in an external hard drive.

    After successfully resetting my PC to factory setting, I ran restore backup files... I took me 4 hours to restore. Restore files has been a success.

    When I restart my PC, I couldn't find anything my back upwards. I don't know that there have been restored as I have only 50 G to 200G left of my C drive.

    I tried to look for documents, but I can't find anything.

    What happened to all my backup files?

    Hello

    Where you are restoring the data?

    Check if the files are hidden.

  • Problem of backup drive Seagate

    I have an iMac that fails to perform backups time machine, constantly in error-36 on several files in the journal and then ending by mistake-11. I got around this by using Data Rescue IV to copy all the contents of the disc to 2 TB backup drive Seagate Plus. During this process, I got a warning of Data Rescue saying me that slow read access has been detected from the internal drive and it was a sign of a failing drive. The time estimates would go in all directions, ranging from a few hours, thousands of days! Finally, after about a day, the backup was complete. However, when I tried to use this disk to restore a backup, the program "restore from backup" in the recovery partition was told that no backup not found on the disk. I even tried to rename and add folders so that the path of the folder on the Seagate drive looked like this: /Backups.backupdb/Computer name of the name/2016-06-18-214653/Disk Partition. Remember that I did not use time machine to back this up, I arranged everything simply the folder saved in other folders so that the path can trick the computer into thinking it as a backup in time real-machine, but it did not work. Is there a way I can use this Rescue IV data backup to restore the computer by using the recovery (command-R on startup) partition?

    There are several possible reasons for the mistakes of TM backup that you met. They could be resolved by trying a different port on your iMac, disabling potentially conflicting software (garbage "anti-virus" useless example), using disk utility to 'fix' the volume of the source, reinstall OS X (assuming that it has become corrupted for some reason, the common result of 'cleaning up' apps) and other possible, although perhaps temporary solutions. If you are motivated to explore these options you can still.

    The hierarchy of the Time Machine backup volume file is likely to be very different from that created by Seagate software, so I doubt it. The RP provides an option to restore from a Time Machine backup, and you will not be able to fool it by restoring a backup created by something else.

    You are much more likely to succeed by copying the files manually backup volume, after having replaced the faulty internal drive with a new one. If Seagate program, all the files should be present, you just have to find them.

    In the absence of other options, I would try to create a backup, redundant or "clone" of the source volume defective before doing something more. At the present time, you work with a reliable likely source of defective with no recognized backup of it.

  • Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

    Hello

    My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

    So far I have tried:

    -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

    -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

    -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

    I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

    I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

    Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

    com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

    com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

    NetworkInterfaces.plist

    Preferences.plist

    or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

    However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

    This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

    Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

    What model is the TC?

    Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

    (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

    Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

    Can you get it in the Finder?

  • Windows running in the backup drive D: after system reboot

    I rebooted my system yesterday and discovered that it had been done in the backup drive D which has only 1 g backup space. I can't do another reboot because there is no space in the drive.

    My question is: A) how to get the operating system to run on the main C drive

    (B) I'll be able to remove the old operating system to drive D

    Dell XPS 1530

    Vista 32 bit

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

    Delete older backups and free up space on the D drive.

    To remove old backup files, under the backup of data files, click View backups.

    You can then select the backups of files that you want to delete, which will free up disk space. Remove an entry in the list will not affect the other backups. If you think that you don't need one version of your files from a certain backup period, you can delete that backup. We recommend that you always keep the most recent backup.

    Hi dnt711,

     
    Many users corrected this problem by correcting disk errors. We recommend you to check all the readers to find errors. To do this, try the following steps.
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.
    2. click on each drive to check and then click Properties.
    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.
    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.
    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.
    4. click on start.
    5 after the audit of records mistakes, try to restore backup and check the result.

  • Previous instance of the pilot still in memory - hard drive Ext

    It is on a disk Toshiba external hard usb connected to a w XPS8700 8.1 which works fine on other computers. The error message -cannot load the driver the previous instance of the device still in memory driver. I uninstalled the drive ext devices and printers where it appears with an exclamation mark and error message, rebooted, removed and reconnected to the diff, usb ports, changed power outlets, registered disk management - does not appear there or to Mgr. Unit nothing works. Yet to test it on my another victory 8.1 computer recognizes it immediately and I have access to all files.  It scans the drive and found no errors. Files can be moved to the other hard drive. The ext drive works OK on the 8700 for more than a year.

    edit -- found the reason - USB Mass Storage Device has the error -previous instance... still in memory. Any suggestions? Uninstalling and restarting does not help. Diagnostic tests were all very well.

    The fixed! This was caused by Pépin of the history of the files. (I hate file history) I opened Device Mgr, selected hidden devices and found an old entry of WD ext hard drive and deleted. Historical files should be disabled before changing anything. because it gave me errors on the disc Toshiba not found or not connected. I had disabled the USB storage device and had to re - activate. This requires a reboot, and the Toshiba external drive is now active and functional.

    I am leaving the history of files and make manual backups instead.
