• Errors of license after recovering Time machine on an external hard drive

  My internal HD failed and I'm temporarily using an external drive as my primary HD. I loaded all my data from my backup time machine external hard disk temporarily until my new mac arrives (next week). Now, I'm getting licenses 150:30 error code when I try to open Photoshop. It says restart may fix it. He has not fixed the problem. Any recommendations? I need to work on some files now and am stuck.

  Thank you!

  Yes. This is very common. Photoshop should never be moved or transferred, because the license is tied to the Mac and move breaks the license.

  The remedy is simple. Reinstall using your discs and don't forget to apply the updates. You will begin to 11.0.0.

• Backup to Time Capsule and an external hard drive

  Hi all

  For several years, I use as a router Time Capsule and a backup device. Recently I found information about to associate an additional external hard drive for backup. For me it's a backup just to be sure when my Time Capsule would fail.

  I found information on the internet that it was easy to switch between the two devices. I connected the external hard drive in the time Capsule.

  But after installing the external hard drive my Time Capsule is not able to back up more!

  Please, could you help me find a solution. It would be great for me.

  Many thanks in advance,

  Diana

  I suggest that you get first back ups goes again on the Time Capsule, then we can discuss adding the USB key as a second backup source.

  For now, if please power off the power and unplug the USB of the time Capsule.

  (Gear on the dock icon)... open Mac system preferences, then open Time Machine

  Make sure that Time Machine is running

  Click Add or remove disks

  Under the backup drives, make sure that the Time Capsule disk (named 'Data', unless you have changed the name) appears

  If it isn't, then click data under available disks

  Then, click on disk use

  Close the window and now, click the 'clock' Time machine at the top of the screen

  Click on NTI Backup Now and who should get backups start on the Time Capsule

  After the return when you have confirmed that this is the case

• Can I use my Time Capsule as an external hard drive for my xbox one?

  My Xbox One has only to a 500G hard drive, so I can't download all my games.  Can I use my Time Capsule instead?

  I don't think so.. An Xbox supports USB drives.

  http://support.Xbox.com/en-us/Xbox-one/games/manage-storage

  It will be the reformat format xbox for games... you can not download games on general storage... you can use it for the media.

  http://forums.Xbox.com/xbox_support/xbox_one_support/f/4269/t/1974401.aspx

  Any SIN should work as a source for the media... but TC is a mute like a hard disk of Board of Directors in a router if you still need a PC to offer support to the network.

• My computer shows no external hard drive

  I am preparing to upgrade to Windows 7 XP. I bought the Western Digital My Book Essential drive (2 TB) external drive to back up my computer (300 GB partitioned into three logical drives). The drive appears in Device Manager as installed and working. but is not in the "My computer" window After discussing the problem with the Western Digital support, I was able to put in place a work around by placing a shortcut to the drive on the desktop, but would rather do appear in 'My Computer' window before starting the next phase of backup of the computer to do a fresh install of Windows 7. Is there a solution for this? Please and thanks in advance. Desktop computer Dell XPS (Gen 5) with 2 GB of RAM.

  You can access the drive via a shortcut on the desktop, but you do not say what happens if you open Windows Explorer and put the drive letter (or the drive letter and folder name) into the address bar.

  In other words, open Windows Explorer and type I:\ (or S:\ or whatever it is you the reader named at this stage).  If this works, you should be able to run Windows Easy Transfer (or a backup program) and specify the external drive as a target.  There is really no need to use 'my computer '.

  (For after your description of how you created the shortcut, it seems that type the drive letter in the address bar of Windows Explorer will work fine.)

• external hard drive not mounting

  Here it is the end of the year and one of my external hard drives (1 TB Iomega MacMini) decided to not mount on the desktop of my MBP 15 "

  (in early 2011).

  I read a few posts on ways to remedy by making the Kext Utility application, reset the SMC, disk repair/first aid utility, using different cables/ports.

  test another external hard drive (which is mounted using FireWire 800) etc...

  When I look at the MBP in the system report found in 'about this Mac' sees the external hard drive, that I'm putting and yet this car is not editing.

  The Iomega hard drive light flashes and there is power and the whirring of the drive, so that it seems the unit working on it of own but is no longer connection

  on my desk.

  I have Time Machine on two external hard drives, but has a reader is slightly larger than the other, the information stored on both devices is slightly different.

  So, if I can get access to the data from the Iomega hard drive and save it, then I'll be a happy camper and will update to another external drive.

  For now, I hope some of you can provide advice to solve this problem.

  I booked time at the Genius Bar, but nothing is open until next week.

  Looking forward to responses and wish all a happy new year.

  If so, try it on another Mac.  Don't rule out the possibility that the HARD disk is dead.

  Ciao.

• Why LR4 shows me two folders to an external hard drive?

  Hello.

  So I don't know that I can explain so I tied this screenshot. LR4 shows two external hard drives 'ESF-PHOTO' when it's really only. It has the same folder on the two 20120523_straight_down called on each, but in each case there are 4 images even though it says 3. Two of these images are reversed, and I think that's why it says 3. I tried the update folder location. I tried to synchronize the folder. I tried to remove the top folder, called 20120523_straight_down, which then gets rid of the ESF-top PHOTO. After that I try to add the image missing fourth to the different 20120523_straight_down folder and it adds just this second ESF-mystery PHOTO by car.

  

  All this happened after I moved the catalog and images on this external hard drive and run Carbon Copy Cloner to support up to a second disc. Once this is done, I restarted LR4 and began working on an image in PS6. When I closed this image and returned to find the Edit version in LR4 I couldn't find it. Once I found it after searching all pictures with its file name that I saw that there were two ESF-PHOTO files.

  When I have tried all the above troubleshooting I unplugged the backup drive.

  It is a difficult question. Any one guide me through on this one can.

  See you soon,.

• Network external hard drive for media sharing on Xbox 360

  Hello, I just got a new external hard drive. I put a bunch of video files and music to share with my xbox 360. I use windows media player to make the media sharing. I got no problem with it for my regular hard drive in my computer. The first time I plugged my external hard drive to my computer and transferred the files added to the library, it worked fine and the xbox it would be. But after that I restarted my computer, my xbox can't see my external hard drive. I gave her a permanent using MMC drive letter and drive management. But for some reason any xbox will simply not show more. Any ideas? Thank you.

  I had the same problem

  1. Reset the wmp library
  2. Turn on file sharing for each folder on the external hard drive, including the player itself using the same settings.

  3. remove the Xbox 360 exceptions in your firewall
