• Transfer iTunes to external hard drive

  I transferred my iTunes library on an external hard drive (Seagate).  I would like to transfer CDs to laptop so that I can do it again on one of my iPod tunes.  There is no option for ' send to ' iTunes from the external hard drive.  I tried several times and failed.  I can listen to the music stored on the external hard drive but playing something other than iTunes.  I installed Win 10 (big mistake, but too late now) so I guess it's to play through their music app.  I also tried to send to the device Bluetooth drive external hard, but that no longer works.

  I plan to replace my Samsung laptop with a Macbook Pro I hope in the not-too-distant future, but for now, I'd like to tell me if it is possible to transfer iTunes from external hard drive to my laptop existing back.  He drives me crazy not less because you have probably guessed I am somewhat of a technophobe.

  Thanks in advance.

  An iTunes library is an index of media stored on your computer that has been added to the library. iTunes has to know where the files are located in order to transfer them to your device. If the albums in question do not appear in your library and then use the menu file > add folder to library to add them, and then either make them slide to the device if handled manually on the base, or adjust the synchronization settings as required, and synchronize.

  See make a library of portable split to some general information about the layout of iTunes library. According to what you have copied where in the place where exactly, and what you see currently listed, you may want to shift-Start-iTunes and open the database stored on the external hard drive or maybe copy the whole folder iTunes from the outside to the inside, or you can create a library laptop from scratch on the outside, if there only your media.

• Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

  How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

  original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

  There are several options:

  External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

  If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

  Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

  If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, click Advanced
  On the owner tab
  Select you realize if it isn't already and
  Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
  Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

  Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
  Click on apply
  Click on advanced
  Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
  Click on apply

  If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

  If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

  ==================================================================================================================

  I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

  If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

  Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

  Jere het another article on the use of Transsfer easy to pass data or parameters (and perhaps programs) from a XP computer to a Vista computer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial138.html

  =====================================================================================================================

  I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck!

• Western Digital 1 TB My Book external hard drive on Vista 64 - Bit needs driver. Windows can't find it!

  Here's the deal. I bought a Western Digital 1 TB my book about 2 months ago. I plugged on my DELL XPS laptop running Vista 32 bit with no problems and managed to save all my files. Everything worked very well. Although this computer is damaged and sent to DELL for repair. Make the long story short, a replacement computer was sent to me. Now, I have a DELL studio XPS under Vista 64 bit and now the external hard drive is not recognized.

  I understand that Vista supposedly recognizes external drives and download the drivers when connected to the computer. Windows tries to find the driver but is unable to find and does not install. In Device Manager, the drive will appear as unknown device under other devices.

  I searched for an answer to my problem and posted on yahoo as well, but nothing useful that worked were found at the moment. When I do an automatic search for the driver, windows cannot find the software and refers me to the manufacturer of the device. Western Digital returns me to Microsoft.

  I tried all references to Western Digital troubleshooting, and as I said, this device works perfectly on the 32-bit system. I know that this has been a problem for many and would like to know if there is something I can do to get this device working once more. I don't want to reformat the drive, but if I do how can I if the Vista operating system can not find a driver?

  Thank you. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  I searched for the 64-bit operating system compatibility page and indicates the compatible reader.
  
  This is the exact drive I own: My Book Essential Edition 2.0 WDH1U10000 - disk hard - 1 TB - Hi-Speed USB

  The issue is clearly with WD, the 64-bit driver that they provide or the firmware for their unit

• Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

  Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

  And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

  After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Moving shared files on external hard drive

  I'm moving my photos, videos and iTunes library on an external hard drive, then remove them from my computer to clear space on my Sony Vaio.  I'm running in endless pop-up windows informing me that ' this folder is shared with other people / deleting this folder it is is no longer shared.  The problem with that is that rather than starting the transfer of a large part of the data and to be able to go do something else while it works for a few hours, I have to stay in front of the computer, as the transfer stops until I approve the transfer.  A waste of time.  I tried to change the files so that they are not shared, but I was told that is not possible.  I am the only user of the computer and there only one account user.

  So two questions:
  1. is there a way I can stop the pop ups and just be able to start a transfer of large file without interruptions?
  2. is there a way to do everything on my computer (including everything I add later) unrequited?  I don't think I have any use for the function.

  Thank you

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes to the system before the show?

  Cause:

  This is due to the way in which the access control list (ACL) is questioned by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the folder parent and child have different permissions, security two entries are returned, which causes the browser to treat the file as if it is shared.

  Method 1: Perform a clean boot

  Follow the steps in the link below to perform the clean boot and see if you can transfer the files.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 in the link to your computer in normal mode.

  Method 2:

  I have Windows XP and I want to transfer my photos on an external hard drive, but I can't remove write protection. I right click and uncheck the box, but it changes on its own. How can I transfer my photos?

  Have you seen dialogue indicating files can't be copied?
