To access the other account via external hard drive

MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)

V.10.11.6 El Capitan (15G 31)

To summarize what I've lived, I got a kernel panic, by connecting to any account. So I tried to fix it by zapping the PRAM and NVRAM, tried the reset SMC, and both did not work. So I installed El Capitan on my external hard drive and it works, I just need to access the other account on the Mac to recover photos and then do a clean set install.

The problem is that I do not know how to access the other account on the mac like I did not move any info from another acc to my external hard drive. Is it possible to do more than to reconfigure my HD post and return to the new installation procedure? Or I'm able to get pictures on the other account with the photo software?

Open the drive containing, then the folder users, your record of departure, and photos. If you encounter a file that you don't have access permission, either drag it to the office supply your administrator password, or select the entire disk, choose get the information in the file menu and set to ignore permissions or ownership.

  • I'm unable to access the files on my external hard drive

    I have an external hard drive and can't read the files. The device appears on my PC, but no file shows when I go to the device and equipment. My PC is not recover this unit and only not recognize it as a USB device. I can see this under the folder hardware and devices, but there is no entry. Is there a way to access the files or retrieve files? The material of the driver is up-to-date.

    Hello

    Try to connect the external hard drive on another computer / USB and check.

    If you are able to access the files on the other computer, and then try to update the drivers for the chipset of your computer.

    You can visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer to get the chipset drivers.

    Thank you.

  • Trying to access the files on an external hard drive in XP with Vista... Access denied.

    My old laptop with XP died, so I purchased an external drive and installed my old hard drive in it. I now use Vista, but whenever I try to access the files I get a message saying that I don't have permission to access the files. I spent in and changed the settings in files to reflect property, yet I always refused. I have read the discussions and met some people with the same questions, but proposed solutions seem to be more confusing than the problem itself.

    These files have been encrypted? If Yes and you did not save your encryption certificate/key, the files are lost forever. If the files are not encrypted (and you can do this natively in XP Home), then appropriate should do the trick. Again, here are the instructions:

    1. right click on the file or folder and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab.
    3. under group or user names, click your name to see the permissions you have.

    To open a file, you must have the read permission. For more information about permissions, see what are permissions?

    http://tinyurl.com/2j9vgr

    To take ownership of a folder:

    1 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.
    2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.
    3. click on modify. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.
    5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the Replace owner of subcontainers and objects to check.
    6. click on OK

    If after all this you may not always get the files, I just boot the system with a Linux Live CD or Live USB key and copy in Windows there because Linux does not respect ownership/permissions of Windows.

    You can create a USB bootable Linux instead of a bootable CD. This site will show you how, and it's very easy -http://www.pendrivelinux.com

  • unknown user account - S-1-5-21-98 preventing access to the images on an external hard drive

    original title: account unknown user - S-1-5-21-98... PREVENTING ME ACCESS to MY PHOTOS on external hard drive

    Im having problems accessing copy, editing and viewing my photos on my drive external hard .it says I don't have permissions to access the file .and the file belongs to an unknown user account. How can I have access to these files?

    I think that this resulted that I changed my operating system from windows home basic/vista (not sure what operating system) Windows 7 ultimate.

    Please help me, its been two years im trying to solve this problem.

    Here is the link to additional photos showing all the problems

    IM using HP530, 2g of RAM, windows 7 ultimate, 32 bit

    the external hard drive is a samsung HD103SI, 1 TB model

    I saw the pictures and found that you had to the security of the folder/file. From there, change the owner of your current account. The account unknown S-1-5-21-98... user id internal to the user account that created the file and so you have the permission of that user, which is impossible because even if you create a user account with the same name, the user id cannot be the same.

    Also, as mentioned in one of the boxes of dialogue, appropriating the folder/file and then delete the unknown user account.

    Try the above, if the file/folder is not encrypted/protected.

  • Restore the backup to an external hard drive

    original title: if I reinstall my Vista, how to make the backup on an external hard drive? Is it a procedure drag-and - déposer? I use a Seagate external hard drive and there is no help section.

    Have run the back up to the external hard drive, I would like to know how to use it when I reinstall Vista Home Premium system.

    Also, I tried to check the hard disk for errors, and he has not finished the event.

    Assuming that you used the backup of Vista and made program a full backup and not an image backup (although some of these procedures include the restoration of a full image backup), here is some information to help you restore data.  Try to read or at least most of the analytical documents before you start, so you get a good understanding of the process and the procedures involved.  Restoring from an external hard drive is a little different from restoring a secondary internal hard drive, CD/DVD or Flash drive or on the network (although quite close to the procedure of network). If you have used the Vista backup program, you can not restore using drag-and-drop - you must use Vista restore program.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    Back up and restore: frequently asked questions
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works and even when it does not).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How to reset the password forgotten on external HARD drive

    Hello

    I forgot the password of my external hard drive.
    How can I reset this?

    It has all my photos out there I want to come back.

    The external HARD drive comes with software that the password. Have you used this software?

    I m not very well what HARD drive you have exactly, but in the case of the password disk HARD unknown could be deleted, so I guess that by using such software.

    But I'm afraid, this is not possible and if yes, then secure files could serve more than m.

    I say it in a different way: password protection would be useless if you can remove any unknown or forgotten password. Don't you think?

  • I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now want to import some RAF b HD files

    I use LR 6.5 on an iMAC. Files RAF Fuji originally, I imported from an SD card worked and exported in the form of PSD and then after saving the files on an external hard drive RAF erased from Lightroom. I now have to import some RAF of the HD files but LR shows them as dazed out and said that they have already been imported when I hover over the thumbnail. I have this problem when importing files in the same HD Canon CR2, and who have been treated exactly the same. Anyone got a clue as to why this is happening? Thanks, Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If Lightroom then reads these as duplicate files, it shows that they are already present in your Lightroom Catalog.

    You can search by file name and check if the image is present in your library.

    Kind regards
