Save on external hard drive

I used the back upward in my windows xp professional (version 5.1, sp3).  It seemed to be working (he went through all the files), but when I checked my external hard drive nothing has been saved.

I want to be able to put in place so that I can save every day or every week.

Hi Danimama,

1 have you tried with another external hard drive?
2. using any third-party backup program to backup?

You must follow the following steps until you can run the backup.

1. you can try to temporarily disable your anti-virus and malware during execution of the backup.
2. check if the external hard drive has bad sectors on it.

Step 1:

Run a chkdsk on the external hard drive and check for errors.

  • Cannot save on external hard drive

    I recently bought a Seagate FreeAgent - 2.0 to external drive and have found that I'm unable to save image from Photoshop (PS7 or CS3) files directly to him regardless of the extension of the image used. When I try to record, I get a pop-up that says, could not save "filename" because the disk is full. I don't know why this is happening when I have 1.6 TB of free space on this drive. I also have a FreeAgent 500 GB external that I have never had this problem with. When I contacted Seagate they said since I am able to copy, paste or move files to the drive, it is a problem with the Software Photoshop and not their car. Anyone know why this is happening and if so is there a way to solve it?

    Yes, hiking 7 used a Windows API which stops when the disc is more than 1 TB.

    Once we had larger disks available, we have worked around this limitation of the API.

    CS3 should not have any problems and has been quite widely used with over 1 TB disks.

  • external hard drive questions

    How can I move only my new images on an external hard drive? I have my library of photos copied onto an external hard drive currently and you want to move only new images. The only way I know how is to move my library of photos once again, but then I would have 2 libraries of photos on the hard drive and double images I want.

    Also, how can I save my external hard drive to another hard drive external?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am fairly new to back up my photos and tips on a systematic and safe method to save frequently pictures would be great! Thank you

  • My external hard drive is not recognized

    Before you start I just want to say that I read all related issues, and although people have had similar problems for me I tried all of the solutions that have worked for them but nothing worked for me. So now, it's the way that...

    I have a Packard Bell Store & Save 3500 external hard drive that I used with my desktop for about 3 years now. It has always worked well before, but recently I plugged on my new laptop running Windows 7 to transfer files, and now when I plug in my desktop PC running Windows XP, it does not appear in my computer. It appears in Device Manager but not on my desktop and shows both disk management on my laptop but in disk management it has a red X on the picture and said that it has not been initialized. When I try to boot it, it then comes up with an error message saying "device is not ready." I really really want to reformat because I have files I want to keep on it and other people say that this has not solved their problem. I've tried everything I can think of and would really appreciate some help on this problem! Thanks in advance.

    PS. Oh, I forgot to say, I don't need to work on my laptop any more I want to just get back on my desktop PC! Thank you, Helen.

    Number of things you could try is use knoppix (option 3) to see if that reads the files. its basically a linux operating system you put on cd and run it from cd. He read windows formatted disks, it takes on the operating system of the equation and you maybe power then copy the data off.

    You can try to pull the hard drive into the usb box... plug directly into the computer, see if it works then, and it backs up like that...

  • You can save the projects that you are currently editing on an external hard drive?

    I went travelling this summer and want to make a video of all my photos / videos. As you can imagine there are many of them and they are on different cards memory. So I bought a disc external hard samsung which is comparable with Mac to store all my content. The first batch of files that I imported from my hard drive to iMovie went on well, but then I tried to import some more and I do not have enough memory space on my Macbook Air.

    Is there anyway you can get iMovie to use my external hard drive to save projects as default? So instead of import content and she being temporarily stored on my macbook while editing, it would save on my hard drive?

    I am very new and relatively new to mac for iMovie so I apologize if this doesn't make much sense.

    Yes you can.  For a long time I used iMovie 11 but transfer events to and external drive is covered in the help files to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6d42c

    and the transfer of projects to: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613

    Note that the disk should be in Mac format.  If you are not sure, check using disk utility.

  • Save selective photos on external hard drive

    Hi all

    I'm on 10.10.5 Yosemite

    Re: Mac Photos - how best export / save selective photos on an external hard drive and clean disk space.

    Problem: Photos to consume a lot of space and want to save / export pictures from 2011 to 2014 (value of 4 years) and just keep the current year (2015) for example. How do I get there?

    Question: Mac 'Photo' stores all the photos in a single folder and access this file level understand I'm going to Show Package Contents > Masters after a right-click on the photo library.

    Then, you can view all the files.

    Step 1

    Is the best way to reach above it hang out in mac external drive 'Photos', I created via the Finder?

    Step 2

    Then delete the files in the directory of Masters or the photo library

    Questions with above?

    Thanks a lot for the advice and thoughts from anyone.

    concerning

    Kevin

    Never make changes to the internal structure of the iPhoto or the library of Photos with the Finder or any other app ever.

    To do what you want to do first export the images of Photos:

    File-> Export

    and send them to your favorite place.

    Subsequently, remove them from the library using the library interface.

    This trick of the user

    https://discussions.Apple.com/docs/doc-4921

    a details of the options in the iPhoto export dialog. In a few minor differences, the options of Photos are the same.

    That said, these are the images also on the iCloud library? Because if that will complicate things greatly. In addition, what you will lose the functionality of non-destructive editing. Better to save the images in a library of Photos and keep all of your options.

    You can do this in several ways - split the existing library or create a new one and hover over the images. There are different ways to do it depending on what you choose.

    Alternatively, simply move the entire library to an external.

  • How can I save icloud photolibrary on an external hard drive

    I'm operating an iMac and 20.5 "mid-2010.

    I'm on OSX El Capitan, 10.11.2

    My pictures version is Version 1.3 (350.23.0)

    The hard drive on my computer space is now filled and I need make arrangements to save a lot of my files off the computer.

    One option is to store my photos in iCloud-storage and use the facilities to minimize the disk space used on my computer.  That has worked well.

    However, I'd like to be able to keep a backup copy one [effective hard drive just in case, but because that photo on the computer library is reduced to a minimum, I don't think that I can do by simply copying the file across.]  I don't see how to download the complete file of the iCloud.  Is there another way to do this?

    To create a backup of your iCloud photo library, you can create an empty photo library on an external drive.

    The external drive should be directly connected for example to USB or Thunderbolt and formatted Mac OS X extended (journaled):

    • Now launch Photo while holding down the button options to bring up the library selector.
    • Select this option to create a new library on the external hard drive.
    • Double-click on this library to open it in Photos. Then activate your system photo library in pictures and the library of iCloud preferences.
    • Disable "Mac storage optimization" and wait for the pictures to download on your backup copy. That can take several days.

    Once all the photos have been uploaded to the copy, switch to your in-House photo library by double clicking it again.

    Reactivate your system and your iCloud library library. Select 'optimize the storage of Mac '.
