Make sure that the Transcend HDD is formatted using NTFS and not FAT32. FAT32 has a 4G file size limit, and NTFS does not.

Make sure also that you backup any data on the Transcend drive before formatting.

If the Transcend drive is using FAT32, you might also be able to just go to command prompt, and type in:

CONVERT volume( the drive letter of your Transcend drive) /FS:NTFS

You can also get additional help using the CONVERT command by going to a command prompt and typing in:
CONVERT /?

Im unable to copy movies etc unto the hard drive. It gives the following error below Cannot Copy : Make sure the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. I also...

What type of harddrive are you trying to copy to?

Is it the same hdd that you have your operating system installed in? Is it an external hdd? At the risk of asking an obvious question, are you sure you have enough free space in the hdd to copy what you want to copy?

If you're copying into another drive make sure it is formatted NTFS (right click on drive, format, check NTFS instead of FAT or FAT32). This is for a Windows environment. DO NOT DO THIS IF THIS IS THE SAME HDD THAT YOU HAVE WINDOWS INSTALLED IT. If it is the same hdd as your operating system, then the partition is already NTFS unless you're on Windows 98 or something.

Again, a little more info is needed. Hope this helped...

I cant copy a big file (example: ISO file size 7gb) into my transcend external hard disk 500gb. a pop out message will appeared (File too big to transfer) help me please. Thanks

Please check how many Mb free disk space you currently have on your transcend device as the description of the pop up message sounds like the default error message from the operating system stating that the file you're trying to transfer is too large to fit on the destination drive. Perhaps try copying and pasting a smaller file first just to make sure that there's nothing wrong with the drive before attempting to transfer such a large file.

Is sdr-h90p/pc compatible with mac apple macintosh?

Your cam can be connected to a mac as an external HDD. Just copy files on Your mac then edit it, for example, with iMovie. Here is a trick. Your movie must be converted to .mov files, so:
Open video file in a quicktime. Press "save as". In a menu select .mov as file type. In "Advanced settings" UNMARK the option "make te movie self-contained". So, You'll get a small .mov file, connected with Your original file. This .mov file now You can drag'n'drop onto iMovie and edit it.
Regards.

Cannot copy files Parameter Incorrect

most likely the issue is that your trying to copy files over 4gb to fat32 disks, and this causes the parameter incorrect -issue. Try formatting the drive your copying to ntfs, this can handle +4gb files.

Trying to save to movie clips to laptop

This camcorder saves files as .mov files. These are readable with Quicktime (from Apple) Quicktime Pro ($30) will convert to AVI format but with some loss of quality. I am sure there are other programs, possibly freeware to do the same thing, but I can't reccomend anything.
