I just want to know how to save all my pictures onto my new drive. I can't figure out how and where to make the folders. I think I made a mistake buying something so complicated. Anyone can help me?

What operating system are you using? i.e windows 7, mac, windows 8
Are you trying to save a photo from internet or copy them from another drive?

I have a mac, and I just wanted one place to put all the pictures I have scanned over the years and have on various flash drives

Okay well this video here will show you general use of creating folders and working with them:

Once you have a folder for the photos in the location you want all you have to do is:

step 1: plug in your flash drive

step 2: select the photos you want, if its multiple photos hold down the 'command' key and click on the files you want and it will highlight all of the selected files

step 3: once you have your files selected, hold the 'command' key and hit the 'C' key (hold it down for a second or so)

step 4: go to the file you created for the photos and hold the 'command' key once again and hit the 'V' key

Then your photos should all be copied into your new folder! :) 

hope this helped :)

Ok I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I just bought a new 3TB external drive. I think I have it installed into my mac, but I can't figure out how to put all those folders onto this new drive.

The steps I said before should still work, just copy the files and paste (using the commands in my previous message) into the location you want it in.

Thanks for trying to help me. The problem is still that I can't figure out how to get those pictures onto the external drive. I think I either got one that is faulty, or I got something that is so far out of my league that it's pointless. Should have just been satisfied with normal flash drives!
