Transfer of pictures to a hard drive external

What should I: 1) 13-inch aluminum end 2008 MAC 2) WD - My passport for MAC external hard drive

Goal: Move my photos from my MAC to the external hard drive. Since I was 20K photos on my MAC, I think this place free (once I double, triple check everything works and then delete the photos on my MAC) on my MAC, improving performance.

Given that the HD is already set up for a MAC, just do the HD MAC, drag the photo from the HD folder and let it do its thing?

Thanks - Rob

You drag it there, launch iPhoto, Aperture, or Photos with down option, click on another library for Photos, choose and keep a copy of it on an external drive then.

    Original title: backup on an external hard drive

    I'm trying to back up my files on an "External" hard drive It's me E: drive as the location, but it just hangs up there says "not responding". I tried to do an "Archive" in the "My Documents" folder, I saw files transfer, however all my names of my files are now blue in 'My documents' whatever that means? What drive letter should go a hard drive 'external '? I should be able to click on that drive and see what is on my external hard drive, but it doesn't "not responding"...

    External drive (E :) will not name until you give him one.  It is possible that the disk has not been formatted yet.

    Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK).
    You will see something like this:

    You will have a line for 'Disk 2' but which shows next to your "disc 1". Please provide ALL information in the "Disk 1" line.

    For example, if you had the image above, the response from you I'm looking for would be:

    Disc 1 - Basic - 186,31 GB - online
    Ghost images (D :) - 93,13 GB NTFS - healthy (active))
    Data backup (E :) - 50,57 Go NTFS - healthy)

  • Trying to transfer files from an internal hard drive outside under XP

    I tried to transfer files and settings from hard drive to external hard drive.  The transfer seems to take place but the hard drive is always too full.  Please notify.

    Your question is vague, as others have mentioned.

    If you try to transfer a very large file (over 4 GB) and receive a message that there are not enough space on the external hard drive even if the external hard drive seems to have a lot of room, the reason is probably that your external drive is formatted using the FAT32 file system.  If you need help with this problem, please specify your original question.  Be sure to include the exact text of any error message, without paraphrasing.

    Do NOT format your external drive if there is already data on this topic.

    I am on an iMac plus old (2008), El Capitan running and I want to copy all my pictures and videos in Photos on an external hard drive just in case of death of my office.  Can I do that and still keep my library of photos on my Mac and use it as usual? If so, how do I?

    Then just drag the module external library of Photos of your folder on the hard drive and let the Finder copy it.

    Thnx

    Hello

    Satellite Pro M10 certainly has USB 2.0 ports, firewire, and IrDA interface. The operating system uses a standard USB Windows driver.
    I put t see any problems with the use of the external USB HDD.
    It should work.
    But in my opinion, you should buy an external USB HDD that supports an IrDA interface. It s much faster as a USB connection.

    However, the operating system must be able to handle the 250 GB external HARD drive
