[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1340119, member: 145676"] How is the external hard drive formatted? If it is FAT then you should be able to copy into it. If it is NTFS - then it is probably read only - unless you add NTFS support to your Mac. If you select the drive in finder and hit CMD-i - you can see the format. Secondly - copying folders on a Mac is different than on a PC. If you copy a folder and paste it into a place with a folder of the same name - then the copied folder replaces fully the original folder. It does not merge the folders as it does on the PC side - so be careful of that. [/QUOTE]
