• How to connect two external HARD drive satellite and the same printer?

  Hello

  I have now two laptop Toshiba Equium.
  What is the best way to connect them so that they can access the same external hard drive and the same printer?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I guess the two laptops are in the same network; Home LAN or WLan. Right?
  I this case I recommend you connect HARD drive and printer to one of the portable satellite.

  Then you can share the HARD drive and the printer with other cell phones on the LAN.

  You could add the network permission to others, and in this case the other participants of the network would be able to share the printer and HARD drive.

  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

• Steps to add an external hard drive

  Hello.

  My HARD drive becomes full, and I want to be ready for when it happens.

  I want to add an external HARD drive. What I've already read, I am supposed to do to import pictures on my new drive, no problem with that. I don't want a new catalog.

  Issue. Suppose that the newly added external drive is not connected and I want looking for some images, say of a son, Gideon. But I know that I have pictures of him on both discs, LR will say connect the external hard drive also? He follow where my pictures are so that he can tell me which drive to connect, it should happen that I then have 2 external drives?

  Thank you very much.

  Deon

  When a drive is not connected, you can still perform most of the functions in the library Module (such as research, discovered the thumbnail, add/edit metadata).

  You cannot develop or export or print the photos that are on the drive that are not connected.

  Yes, LR knows which drive photos are on, and if you try to develop one of these photos, or export or print, we'll tell you the reader is disconnected and you should plug it in again.

  ATTENTION: Under Windows, you will need some method of keeping the same drive letters. To do this, the easiest method is to choose a letter that is high in the alphabet (as S :) for a such propulsion, so that other USB drives do not interfere with the drive letter.

• I can't erase my external hard drive as my Mac told me!

  I have a Fantom external hard drive 1 TB which is my drive Time Machine for years.  Sometimes it disconnects itself, but it has reconnected always very well.  But today as I got an error message that says that the drive could not be fixed by disk utility and would not appear as a disk in the Finder.  Utility disk SEES the drive but can't get it cannot eject it and can't fix it.  I'm ok with totally annihilate and nine.  She had backups, and I can easily do a new backup at any time.  The problem is that the disk utility will not mount it so I can delete it, but when I try just to erase, it cannot do without mount everything first!  I'm in this catch-22: How can I wipe the drive and start over when disk utility can't do?  It also will not mount on my Windows laptop, so I can't wipe it clean there either, reformat it on my Mac.  Anyone have an idea how I can just wipe my own drive so that I can use it on my Mac again?

  iMac (27-inch, mid 2010), OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.5

  UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POSTER:

  I was finally able to remedy using Terminal Server by following the instructions described here:

  http://Apple.StackExchange.com/a/105674

  It reads in part:

  You can force unmount a disk by running the following command in Terminal:

  diskutil unmountDisk force /Volumes/VOLUMENAME 

  ^{Replace VOLUMENAME by the name of a volume on the disk that you are trying to take it apart.}

  I had first to use "diskutil list" first to find out what the Mac called this external hard drive because it was RECOGNIZED but would not mount or dismount.  Instead of using "/ Volumes/VOLUMENAME", my Mac called the drive in question "/ dev/disk2.  My full order was "diskutil unmountDisk force/dev/disk2".

  It worked immediately, and then disk utility was very quickly able to erase the disc.  Once erased, he mounted again very well!  So if anyone has the same problem, try this!

  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)

• can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

  I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

  You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

  I hope this helps.  Good luck.

• Can I add an additional hard drive storage?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  A 40 GB hard drive, I installed in my computer and I would like to know what would be the best practice to install an additional hard drive?

  Basically, you have two choices:

  1. install a second hard drive (only possible if your computer has physical space for this)

  2. replace your 40 GB with a bigger drive.

  If you add or replace, there are two important factors you need to consider size and interface type.  Most laptops use 2.5-inch disks.  Most of office/towers use 3.5-inch disks.  There are several different hard drive interfaces, and you get a drive that has the same interface as your computer.

  Most older computers use the Parallel ATA interface (PATA or sometimes simply ATA).  These discs are also called IDE disks.  There are several variations, but those generally available today is the Ultra ATA66 IDE / ATA - 5, Ultra ATA100 IDE / ATA - 6 and the Ultra ATA133 IDE / ATA-7.  The numbers refer to the data transfer rate.  No matter the data transfer capacity of the disc, however, your actual data transfer rates will be limited by your motherboard.  Finally, you'll notice an RPM rating and a size of "cache".  For the performance, in general, the higher these numbers the better the performance.

  Number of computers more recent uses the interface Serial ATA (SATA).  There are three versions of the present.  SATA-1 (1.5 Gbps), SATA-2 (3 Gbps) and SATA-3 (6 Gbps).  However, given that you currently have a 40 GB drive, it is strong enough to bet that you have NOT of SATA.

  Another interface is SCSI.  You have probably not SCSI.

  The starting point is by identifying the brand and model of your computer.  If you have a desktop/Tower computer, you can buy almost any hard drive, that you like; laptops can be a bit more picky.  A good resource for readers (once you know what you want) is newegg.com  Drive Solutions offer one advice that should tell you what players are compatible with your computer.

  If you choose to replace rather than add them, you will need to 'clone' of your existing to the new drive.  To do this, you will need appropriate software.  Sometimes, the software basic disk of cloning comes with the disk (remember to read the product description or email/call the seller before you buy).  Sometimes, it is available as a free download from the manufacturer of the drive (for example, if you buy a Western Digital drive, WD has "Acronis True Image WD Edition Software").  Or you can get your own copy of various applications of cloning, some are free, but more for sale.

  If you replace a laptop (or a drive in a desktop/tower with no computer available drive Bay), you can buy an external hard drive enclosure.  There are a variety of them.  Just be sure to get one with the internal interface correctly to match the drive and an external interface that is compatible with your computer (usually, USB 2.0).  External hard disk enclosure are sometimes comes with disk cloning software.  And, once your new drive is in place and functioning satisfactorily, you can put the old drive in the box and erase (format) it and use it as a backup drive.

  Above sounds a lot more complicated than it is.  You will probably find even the process YouTube videos, if you look at.

• I can't find my external hard drive

  Hello

  I have a drive hard new, not used externally. It has its own drive system and goes into USB.

  A friend got for me (he knows computers!), it's a drive hard there, for which he bought coverage.

  He says that it's compatible pc and mac and my friend tested, and it worked on his windows pc. He said all I had to do was of gives it so it would be mac compatible.

  Today, I wanted to do, but I can't drive anywhere on my macbook! It does not appear in the disk utility, or anywhere else that I checked.

  So I thought maybe it was automatically conferted in windows format, when my friend plugged to test. Who is right why I tried my husbands laptop windows-computer, so maybe I could set up here to something my macbook can read. But the disc is nowhere on my husbands laptop as well!

  The hard disk is turned on, the little green light says it's on...

  What can I do to find it?

  p.s. I'm still under OSX 10.6 (this is why I need it. I want to back up my documents before updating to the new OSX)

  Thank you!

  If the external hard drive is not readable by a Mac or a PC, then it is either corrupted or it has not been partitioned and formatted yet.

  Because it is not found in disk utility, I think at this point it is the first and will not be usable. However, if it worked on your friend's PC, told format to FAT32. You should then be able to access it with disk utility and reformat in HFS + for your Mac.
