[QUOTE="searchless1, post: 1877058, member: 241965"] it boggles my mind that 10 yrs have passed. Being 72 is my excuse for the speedy passing of time. I don't think i ever did the copy-aperture-to-HD thing. Life got in the way.... I hope you are all still here! So, now [B]this[/B] is my challenge: [SIZE=2][B]new seagate desktop drive won't accept files from another Sea.. EHD[/B][/SIZE] attempted to transfer files from 2T seagate to new 8T seagate - tried folders & single files. get a "no way" circle. Using mac os high sierra 10.13.6 (can't go higher in this sweet old mac) Is this the problem? In the "info", it says i can "only read" but i am listed as "read and write".
