• Transfer the virtual machine from the external drive - URGENT HELP PLEASE

  I recently transferred my Virtual Machine to a hard drive external that I had to reinstall my OS Leopard, now when I try to copy the VM back to my mac from the external hard drive, to halfway through I have error message... "You cannot copy"Windows Vista.vmwarevm"because it has the same name as another article on volume of destination, and that the volume is not making the distinction between upper and lower case in file names."

  Virtual machine worked well for the external hard drive, but it's not convenient for me and I need ideally on my laptop... Please notify.

  To this folder on the Mac you copy it and what else is in this folder when copy you it.  I hope also merger is closed when you try to copy.

  Another thing you can do is inside the packaging of the Virtual Machine, there are two folders, Applications, and appListCache, I always delete before copy/move and these will be recreated and the reason why I do it, it is I saw copy fail until they have been deleted, although generally, it is one of the app in the Applications folder with the module of Virtual Machine that caused the problem.

• Backup HD on the external hard drive with/without Time Machine backup

  I use a drive external iomega hard so that I can save my Mac hard drive. I used the iomega to back up my old computer before and succeeded with just drag / drop the files I needed. I simply slipped fell the Mac HD icon in my iomega DHM and was able to open all the files inside. It made me skeptical however, if I would be able to open the icon Mac HD with all my files so it was on another mac. All information that I looked upwards on a hd on a disk external drive to backup talk using Time Machine, which I've never used, and was not sure if it's even necessary to use.

  Here's what I mean by dragging my HD on the external hard drive.

  It is not at all a backup. This is just a link to the internal drive. Is there a reason why you do not want to use Time Machine?

• Cannot recognize the external hard drive.

  Have an iMac with Parallels and Windows SP installed Pro computer.  Until yesterday, when we had a power outage, I had a Verbatim external disk set on the Windows side of the machine that worked very well.  I the embroidery machine and I keep my drawings on this small hard drive and access it through a software on the side of my Mac Windows.  Since the blackout, my Mac does not recognize the Verbatim.  I tried the Verbatim on another pc and it works fine.  Turned on my Mac, is gone on the side of the window, plugged in the Verbatim... little popup appears asking if I want it on the Mac or my Virtual Machine.  I loaded Virtual Machine.  When I go to my program of embroidery and search the external hard drive, he doesn't "see" it.  Then a box comes up and says "do you want it disconnected from your Mac" and it must be removed by force of the virtual machine.  NOTHING WORKS.  It worked perfectly before and I can't figure out how to get my Virtual Machine (Windows) to recognize.

  Hi gloriajstitcher,

  Check if the disk is detected by plugging it into a different port.

  I suggest you post in your query in the Parallels forums to improve the assistance:

• How can I access my Microsoft Virtual PC on an external hard drive with Windows Virtual PC on my new computer?

  For a few years, I have been using a set of VPC on external hard drives (.vmc files both .vhd located on external drives) with the Microsoft Virtual PC/Virtual PC Console on a Windows XP computer. They worked perfectly.

  However, I just bought a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm unable to access the VPC on the external hard drive. I installed successfully, Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode on the computer, and I copied the file to the host machine's .vmc. However, when I try to open the virtual computer, I get a message saying that the VPC was "impossible to write in one of its virtual hard disks.

  I've tried everything I can think of, but the only thing that works is to copy the .vmc and .vhd in the computer file. The problem is that I use the VPC for training online, and I have 16 of them. If I copy everything in the computer, I will use all 500 GB of disk space.

  There must be a way to access the VPC for external drives. If I can do it on the old XP computer, it should be possible to do it on the new Windows 7 computer.

  Help, please.

  Thank you!

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

  share external hard drive

  I am able to access my desktop to my laptop as part of a homegroup, but can not access the external hard drive that is attached to my office. I want to be able to back up my laptop hard disk external.  Advice please.

  geraintjo

  I do not use homegroups, but 'true' to share, so I don't know how this is supposed to work with homegroups. But usually he should share a drive or folder, first before you can access it from another machine. (for example, click on the drive/folder properties and go to the sharing tab)

• Windows 8 ceased to recognize the external hard drive.

  Original title: Windows 8

  Windows 8 stopped recognizing my Seagate more 1 TB external hard drive. It worked fine for months and just stopped to acknowledge, also my Adobe Reader XI stop working. I get "internal error" when I try to use Adobe PDF. Moreover, ARO 2012 program will not finish analyzing the registry database. I uninstalled and reinstalled this program muliple times. Y at - he was a stooge computer can solve the problem by myself? Please help me. I will send $ 1 million to anyone who can tell how to solve this problem. Michael Story

  Just moved my hard drives and data to new Windows 8 System. They had been in an XP system - none were never drives on the system. I put a solid state in machine it's like my C drive, and I had a smaller State such in my XP machine.

  External hard drive has worked until I tried a few copies of largest I had crashed and has been implemented of the BU as it should.

  After about 5 minutes on a consistent basis, the green light on the drive is out and it is no longer recognized.

  So I have the drive click right and clicked on properties and tools and selected the option to check the disc - not optimize it.

  Soon, he came back and said everything is fine, but you can scan if you wish.

  I scanned and the scan found bad things and seems to have stopped

  There is no option to correct but he told me to fix.

  I closed the message thought I would find a way to fix it after that I erased the message when a repair analyze and fix the Panel came and I clicked it to move forward.

  After minutes the Green drive light is out, but the thing seemed to work, but it took forever.

  I stopped, powered external drive on and outside, disabled protection cirus and restarted the tools again and this time it took me right to repair. After minutes the drive light exploded again but this time I let him keep Chuck.  I come back about a half hour later and he was properly executed and repair the disc and the drive light was again.

  I have not ran the copies still no problemo!

  Thanks to all the people who gave me good ideas

• Lightroom does not recognize the external hard drive?

  When I try to import files from anywhere - my office, or a SD - card in Lightroom 4 or now 6 (updated just to see if it would help), Lightroom is the photo file in what I would call an external hard drive of ghost. It creates a second external hard drive file that seems to be a copy of the original. A few weeks ago, the name of external hard drives has been accidentally changed or partially erased when I backup my hard drive without supervision in Time Machine. I'm working on an iMac with OS 10.11.4. At that time there Lightroom could not find any of my files of course! So, I renamed with much attention the hard drive exactly the same original name and Lightroom everything very well - recognized except, I started having this problem of import. When I import a file of the photo, he put it in an external hard drive of Ghost with the same name, size and number of files. If I try to move the file to the real external hard drive where it is supposed to go, Lightroom told me that the file already exists in Lightroom. If I look in my external drive outside of Lightroom, the file is where it is supposed to be. I tried just 'Add' the file to Lightroom, rather than copy or move, and that's okay. I tried to re-pointing Lightroom on your drive. Does not work. The only way I can get the files to go where I want they is to import, then highlight the recently imported file and move it to the folder of the mother. So, I have to move the file into the folder of the mother in the subfolder and then delete the now empty ghost the disk folder manually hard phantom. Help! Is there a way to merge the external hard drive with his ghost (or duplicate)? I can't find anything in the forums or documentation, and when I tried to call tech support, I came across a brick wall which is very frustrating. They said I couldn't get help by phone, I have to use the forums. So, please, let me know what I can try.

  Hello Deborah

  Seems to me this is probably a problem of conflict with the readers in your catalog and LR is confusing where to put images and creates a clone instead. You have to work smart to get rid of the clone disk keeping the images with the same folder structure. If it's a long process, however, I'll try to be as simple as I could.

  To do a test at White folder on the drive itself out of Lightroom that must be maintained at the same place where the main images folder (main folder means - the very first folder under your player in your catalogue which should include all subfolders on the disc itself), then put a picture in the test folder and import it. the test folder will be part of the new drive of clone in catalog you would then move the main folder of the Original disc to the Clone drive in your catalog. Once you are done with the displacement of all the structures of folders in the test under drive clone folder. The original drive that was not identified by Lightroom would be gone if this isn't the case you can remove it manually and this is how you would leave with single drive with all your files/images existing and if you try to import the images now. They would go directly in the same destination folder that you choose on the screen to import instead of going in any drive clone/ghost.

  Thanks Deborah for bringing This issue to our view. And I amso glad I was able to solve this problem for you on call.

• Of failure, white screen MacBook Pro HARD drive try to boot from the external HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a 2008 Macbook Pro which is having some problems, I was able to fix them, but eventually the hard drive failed. I know that because at startup until it would have a white screen Uni (no logo) and you can hear a clicking on in the lower left corner. I thought initially it was a memory problem, but after opening and verification of memory, it's clearly the hard drive.

  I solved this problem temporarily (until I can replace the HARD disk) by installing El captain on an external HARD disc and start from that. Here's the twist, I couldn't he can begin to El captain, I tried CMD + R, CMD + OPT + R, CMD + OPT + R + P and now shift. Everything that's happened would be that clicks would cease to release the keys.

  I left the macbook on while I'm at work, when I got home it was on the screen to connect the external HARD drive.

  I accidentally closed the macbook yesterday and again once when I tried to log on, I could not and I left it on a white screen while I was sleeping. There is a possibility that he may have launched from the HARD drive when I get home, but if not, is there something that escapes me to force do this?

  See you soon

  Usually start up to a blank screen without the Apple Logo, may report one of the following:

  • Hardware failure
  • Boot drive is not recognized as valid and updated updated
  • OS X essential software is missing, hurt moved or renamed or corrupt
  • A firmware update is necessary

  No matter who, in order to boot from an external drive "bootable", you would normally hold down the Option key until you get a screen that offers a number of devices to try to boot from.

  Alternatively, you can try holding down the C key to try to boot from the external drive.

  If none of these startup options work, then the bootable disc or the USB port on your MacBook Pro can be the question.

  Since you have a Mac pre-2013, if you hold down the D key while booting, the built-in Apple Hardware Test should start up.  This can help to identify hardware problems.

  file .avi and .mov on iMac changed in .m4v when they are copied to the external hard drive. I will be able to open these files on other devices like a Windows PC?

  FWIW, do not change the extensions of file simply by copying the files to an external drive.
