• transfer my music from external hard drive to my library from xp to vista library, or have them play.

  I have a v2000 compaq with xp home on it. I use a 500 gig, "My Book", to store all my music and music only (the letter of the drive on xp is E). Now, I bought a compaq cq60, with basic vista on it (the drive letter for 'My Book' on vista is F). I connected the ext drive in my vista and I raised the media player '11' [xp drive is '10' I think] and my music was everywhere and made different folders and much music would not play. error came say plyr cannot find music because two different files, appoint or has been deleted. So I plug the plyr xp and had many of the same things happen.  What's wrong? And how to fix this? I know that the songs are still there somewhere. How to get them back too?

  Thanks for any help you can give me. Please try to explain in simple terms. Laughing out loud. not a total pc'er again. still much to learn.

  Hi DJ_FEELGOOD_1,

  The library is a database that includes links to digital media files on your computer. Among other reasons, you cannot move the library from one computer to another, because the links in the database would be more correct.

  If you want to replicate your library ongoing on another computer, you must copy your digital media files on this computer, and then add these files to the new library. For more information about adding content to your library, seeAdd items to the library.

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• How can I transfer/copy a program from the hard drive on my computer on an external hard drive plugged into a USB port on my computer?

  transfer of a program on an external hard drive.

  What exactly are you trying to accomplish (goal)? You cannot save a program by copying its files/folders in Program Files in an external hard drive. To save programs, you must save the installation - CD, DVD, or the installable executable if downloaded media on the Internet.

• How can I transfer images from external hard drive with the gateway settings to new computer?

  I used to use Adobe Bridge on a computer that no longer works. My computer tech then made the hard drive of this computer on an external hard drive. Now I want to transfer all those images with all the settings, I applied them to my new computer. My new computer is a PC with Windows 7 and I run Adobe Creative Cloud on it.

  Thanks for your reply. Where the xmp file?

  It depends on your preferences settings. By default, Bridge is set to store metadata in an XMP file. This is the file that has the same name as the original, but it only use the extension ".xmp" instead of Raw file extension.

  Bridge stores this file in the same folder as the original. If you use Bridge to move the files to another location it selects automatically the xmp files to travel with her.

  If you use the view menu / show hidden files, you will see what Curt meant by XMP are hidden files, all have a document icon.

  If you converted to DNG RAW format this data is written to the file itself, as is the case with other types of files such as jpeg and tiff, that can be managed by the cab.

  You should be able to copy the whole folder to your new system or bridge to the old disk, select the file in the content panel and the use of the Control Panel folder to navigate to the new location and use drag and drop

• Cannot transfer pictures to the external hard drive (refused)

  Hey!

  I can't transfer jpg on my computer to my external hard drive all of a sudden. He's worked a lot of years and now when I try to drag the photos on it gives me a stop sign, that white circle with the diagonal line through it. What gives? Any help would be great appreciated! I have a lot of work there.

  Additional information:

  -J' have permission to read and write on the jpg photos, but the disk that he said that I can read only, and there is no way to change this, when I click on the little triangle down.

  -I can drag photos that already exist ON the disk hard ON my desk, but not vice versa

  -All files are jpg files, and they are in a separate folder on my desktop, not from my iphoto library or whatever it is

  -J' also tried to delete the "com.apple.recentitems.plist" of the finder, and nothing has changed

  -The disc model is a "Slim Seagate laptop drive"

  -Here is a photo of the hardrive info:

  

  Thank you

  The external HARD drive is formatted NTFS, which allows you to write on it unless you have a third party app like Paragon or Tuxera.

  You had these software installed by Seafgate in the drive, but it is now obsolete and should be updated.

• Transfer photos to an external hard drive in 11 days?

  Hey guys,.

  I just bought an external hard drive of 1 TB (Toshiba Canvio Basics) with a USB 3.0 cable and transfer the photos from library Photos takes long time. There are about 65 GB of photos and videos.  There is an estimate of 6 days for photos at the end of transfer on my first try. I left after 5 minutes because I thought that maybe I don't plug it right.  On my 2nd try, he gave me an estimate 1 day, I left who once again in 5 minutes. On my third try, I change usb ports and it gave me an estimate 11 days to get it to transfer. I have a MacBook Pro 2012, if that helps. Is this normal? or something is wrong with my Macbook or my new external hard drive?  How can I improve the transfer speed? Any help would be great. Thank you very much.

  Two things:

  What format is this player? How are you connected to it?

  In addition, the Finder is a liar. He considers all sorts of things, but the estimate changes, 65 tis can take a few hours, but it will take more than that.

• Problem with 'open with' records not of programs on external hard drive

  Hi - I have several large programs installed on an external hard drive. Previously, there were no problems with the program and files associated with the other. My computer had to be rebuilt recently and all re-installed with the exception of those programs on the external hard drive. My files get recognized by windows - when I am asked to browse to find the program and I select this program from the ED - windows will not add to the 'open with' list of programs. I don't see what the problem is and a little lost. If anyone can help I'd be really grateful, as I have quite a few files that I have now correctly open questions.

  Thank you

  When you install a program, two things happen: the program get
  When you say let it go, and * pointers to many parameters and references
  It is set in the registry and elsewhere in \windows (there are
  an occasional exception, but usually only with a small single
  programs).
   
  Thus, when Windows has been reinstalled, all these many pointers, settings,.
  and references to it in the registry and elsewhere in \windows
  have been lost. Programs cannot operate without them.
   
  For this reason, separating \Windows and installed programs
  (especially on an external drive) is a bad thing to do.

• Data from external hard drive not visible

  My computer has been recently infected with the virus to restore Windows. As soon as I was aware, I unplugged my network cable and a drive external hard (without using to remove the device safely), who has all my data. I then used a previous restore point to get rid of the virus, which was apparently with success, because there is no remaining trace.

  Now, the external hard drive is not visible in Explorer. Other utility programs say that the data is always there, but I can't see it or access it in the usual way. This drive worked perfectly up to this point. I tried to restart, unplug the external drive and reconnect it and using a different USB port, but so far nothing has worked.

  How can I get Vista to recognize my external drive?

  Hello

  Run the system restore will be not delete or remove the virus on the computer. System Restore helps you restore system files from your computer to an earlier point in time.

  First I suggest you to run the check, and online virus scan if no malware or viruses detected on the computer activity. You can run the scan for viruses online from the link below: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  NOTE: Make sure that you select the correct version of the operating system before downloading the scanner)

  For the problem with the external hard drive, follow the methods below:

  Method 1:

  Check if the device is detected in Device Manager. Follow the steps for the same thing:

  a. click on start

  b. click Run, in the Run dialog box type devmgmt.msc

  (c) in the Device Manager window, locate the drive

  Method 2:

  Run the fix it from the link below and check if it helps. Link: Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/

• Can I install programs on external hard drive?

  Original title: external hard drive

  I need to free up space and my hard drive. Can I take MS Works off the hard drive, put it on an external drive and use it or is it related to Windows XP and prevent this use? Same question for McAfee, Adobe and other routines.

  Hello

  It depends on the program you are trying to install. Generally, it does not work. Check if t he program is written to install on a portable hard drive. MS Works will not work if you install it in an external drive.

  Hope this information was useful.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:
