Save the backup on external hard drive

I was keeping my backup on my external hard drive from Seagate.  But now my Seagate doesn't appear in my computer drive D: and e: no, what do I do? and how to correct for the Seagate external shows up as E: did know my PC that the Seagate is my hard drive?

Possibly a flash stick had taken D at the time and hit Seagate to E?

You can always go back and change it, follow these steps for the drive - letter add, change or remove

It is not really important, unless he screwed up somehow the configuration of your hard drive, which I doubt.

But just to be sure that disk - management post a screenshot Image

  • Save the playlist on external hard drive.

    I would like to be able to export a playlist on an external hard drive, so that all the mp3s in this playlist are grouped in the same order on the hard disk as in the playlist.

    Hello Nomad vagabond,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message that you want to export a playlist on an external hard drive and want to keep all the songs in the same order that they were when they were in the iTunes library. I have stopped at my music as well.

    This article contains information on the iTunes library:

    On the iTunes library files

    The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of songs in your library and playlists that you created.

    Thus, songs and playlists will be recorded how you created and you can move them to the external hard drive by following these steps:

  • 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.

    Fred, SR.

    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.

I don't want the hassle of the backup of my hard drive and reformatting, because there a lot of files already on it. Help, please

    Pray tell what is the format?

  • Backup on external hard drive problems...

    I can't backup to external hard drive, it starts and does not say "Device not ready" then I tried to back up my laptop outside even hard without any problem. Could it be, if I tried a different USB port on my desktop external hard disk... Any other ideas please...

    Concerning

    Have you tried another USB port (your post is unclear)?

    The external hard drive has its own power supply or just connect with a USB cable?  If there is no separate power supply, disconnect all other USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and see if that helps.

    The external drive shows in my computer?  If so, what happens when you double-click it?

    Don't show external drive in disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK)?  If so, a drive letter is assigned? If so, what is reported to the layout, Type, file system and status?

    Only the external drive shows in Device Manager (start > run > devmgmt.msc > OK) to the title of "hard disks"?  If Yes, what is displayed when you double-click on and look at 'Device status' and 'Use of the device' in the general tab?

    best way to transfer photos from the iMac on external hard drive

    If you are mobile loose photo files, drag them in here and if you are going to be removed from the inside, keep a copy on a second disc.

    If you move an iPhoto, Aperture, or photo library, make sure that the external hard drive contains a volume to the Mac OS Extended format, drag the library there, launch the application with the key Option key, choose it, confirm that it works and if you are going to be remove from the inside, keep a copy of it on a second disc.

  • backup to external hard drive, removal of the movies on computer?

    I want to know if I got back to the top of my itunes library on an external hard drive I can remove my itunes on my computer movies to save space on this subject? It is my friends computer and I don't want to take up space. And then I still see them on my apple TV if the movies are not on my internal hard drive?

    I am new to this and I wanted to know if my apple tv can stream after I deleted movies from my computer? I have no idea how it works, as far as I know I need to get back to the top of my purchases...

    Backup and deletion are not back up. Backup is always to have two copies of everything, preferably on completely separate players in different locations.

    In order to play something through iTunes, it must be added to iTunes.  You can add files from a separate iTunes drive and make them stay on the player by holding down the option key while adding, but there may be painful to see broken links if the drive is not attached when using iTunes constantly.

    You can listen to an AppleTV iCloud films apparently, but I can't provide details.  This should work for you, unless it's one of those elements is no longer in the Apple Store (and your reason to always make sure that you have a copy on your hard disks).

  • Impossible to change the location of backup to external hard drive

    * Original title: backup location

    I need to change the location of backup on an external hard drive (I).  When I go into Control Panel, backup and support, it seems that the location is currently (D).  To change this, I select 'change settings '.  Then, the computer opens a new window for "Set up Backup" and begins to launch.  However, whenever I try to do the answer comes back that the computer is unable to start the program because of the error (0 x 80080005) of running the server.  I don't know what to do from here.  Can anyone offer any guidance?  Thank you.

    Hi Janis,

     
    The probable cause of this problem could arise from the security of the software interrupt services to change backup settings.
     
    I suggest you follow the methods below and check if it helps:
     
    Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to change the backup location.
    Reference: turn off the antivirus software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If Mode 1 has not resolved the issue try MOde 2 which follows below:

     
    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to change the location of backup on your external hard drive again:

Make sure that the file format is supported by your external hard drive. It would be better to list the model of your external hard drive to your answer.
