i'm trying to copy my iphoto library to an external hard drive and it starts copying but after about 45mb, it stops and gives me the error code 43.
does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this error? I'm need to get the iphoto library offer my laptop because I need more space on my hard drive.
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
Is the external drive formatted for Mac OS Journaled Extended?
HI Peter,
Thanks. No, the external hard drive is not formatted for Mac use. It's a Western Digital My World Book 4TB external drive that I just set up to work with my PC. I also was able to connect to it using my Apple MacBook Air and set up a sharing "public" folder on my desktop, but that's as far as I get when trying to copy my iphoto library to the Public folder. Any more ideas?
If you want your iPhoto Library on an external drive, it should be formatted Mac OS Journaled Extended.
Otherwise, surprises abound!
ok. how do i format part of the WD external drive so i can copy the iphoto library over to it? can i create a folder and format it with mac os journaled extended using my macbook air? if so, what is the process? do i highlight the public folder and create a "new smart folder?"
You have to format the entire drive.
error code - 43
