 |
|
Does anyone know how to merge file folders on a MAC? I have backed up a lot of my movies and audio files on a separate hard drive and want to add to the existing file without deleting the files there.
Before you say to use time machine I already use it but I keep two separate files for my music and movies that is not apart of my time machine because I am constantly deleting and adding to the files and want to make sure I do not lose any of my previous music or movies I have downloaded.
When I try and copy the folder over it replaces the existing folder. I know on windows I can merge the two file folders together. That is what I am looking to do but do not know how to accomplish it.
I would appreciate any help. I have been surfing the web for the past two hours and I cannot figure out how to accomplish this.
Thanks in advance. |

Drag and Drop
to recover or open files
To restore a file or folder, simply drag it to its original location or to any other place on your Mac.
To preview a file, press the Space bar.
To view or open a file, drag it onto the application of your choice (the file cannot be modified when located on the Time Machine disk). |
You can get it cracked on Demonoid.
Or you can just create a new folder for movies, which is different from the folder that time machine uses to restore its backups to. |

This is what I have been doing but now I have multiple files with the same material. I want one file with where I can continously just add to it without losing the material that is already there. |
