can't drag iphoto library, stuck on copying
Hello,
I am trying to move some large files to an external (Seagate S drive- wifi) hard drive using an ethernet cable. I successfully moved my photos library, which took about 15 minutes. Now I am trying to move an iPhotos library as well, the copy process started but seemed to get stuck and suggested it would take days (despite being connected via ethernet) I stopped the copy. Now it prepares to copy, asks if I want to overwrite the existing file but then gets stuck and doesn't move.
The file on the Sdrive says calculating size, but gets no further, and the copy dialogue box on my MBP says 'Copying........zero bytes of 36.38 GB estimated time remaining ..... ' but gets no further and appears stuck.
I also want to move my iMovie library but have read not to move it to a network drive. Can I move it to this wifi S drive?
Thanks for any advice. Best regards, Sally
