How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

    i have microsoft word installed on my mac book pro and everytime i open my computer it opens to, have can i make it stop?

    u should go to the apple icon on menu bar and then go to "Force Quit" and then select the application u want to quit. if u did, microsoft word won't appear again when u open. make sure that before u shut down ur mac, u need to force quit to make sure the applications u opened wil not appear when u start mac. good luck..

  • How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook?

    How do I import music from a flash drive that was formatted with a windows PC to my MacBook - the drive is showing it has over 3GB of info on it but none of the files are showing up in finder?  I had backed up my iTunes library on the flash drive about a year and a half ago before I switched from a dell to a MacBook pro.

    What I found works for me is to make sure iTunes keeps the music files organzied in the iTunes Media folder according to album, artists, etc. and that it copies the music files there when adding them to the library.  That way, if something happens to the library, the raw files can always be re-imported again.

  • NB100 - How can I reinstall OS from USB flash drive

    My TOSHIBA NB 100 notebook does not have CD-DVD drive.
    OS is Windows XP Home SP2.
    OS is not booting.
    Notebook won't start at all so I cannot run any sort of test when i turn it on.
    The we apologize screen come on it says run safe mode, safe mode networking, safe mode comand prompt or start windows normally. But no matter which I chose it won't start it only goes to Windows and seems like its starting but then shows the blue Windows screen & stays there.
    So I want to reload Windows from my USB flash drive.
    The BIOS boot sequence is HDD - FDD - FD - CD - USB Memory.
    What are the steps for loading Windows from USB flash drive?
    If this does not work then I want to connect another laptop with Windows CD in its CD-DVD drive to the Notebook.
    Will this work? Will the Notebook use the Windows CD in the laptop drive to load the OS?
    How to do this connection?

    Hi
    Usually you would need an external USB CD/DVD drive in order to boot from the Windows XP disk or Toshiba recovery disk.
    But there is a method which allows you to install the Win XP using 2GB USB flash drive.
    This is possible because the BIOS of NB100 support the booting from USB memory stick.
    Pease check this internet page:

  • Can I recover data from a flash drive that is no longer readable?

    A flash drive that I left plugged into my MacBook Pro is no longer readable. Are there ways to recover the files that were (are?) stored there?

    I see that the suggested programs are $80 to $100. Are there any cheaper alternatives or should I just throw this thumb drive away (all the data on it is backed up elsewhere)?
    Is this normal for a thumb drive to fail?

  • How can I run GarageBand from an external drive that is not my boot drive?

    Hi, I'd like to move my GarageBand loops and songs I've composed to my external hard drive. I have moved my iTunes library to the external, I found good instructions on how to do that, but I have not seen any for GarageBand. Is it possible to move both loops and created songs, or just loops, or what? Any guidance would be much appreciated...

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

  • How do I transfer files from a flash drive to my iPad? Do I need an adapter?

    How do I transfer data from a flash drive to my iPad 2? Do I have to have an adapter or special device to do this?

    You can use the camera connection kit to plug in a flash drive. But there are a lot of 'buts'.
    First, most flash drives will trigger a 'device requires too much power' warning and will not work. (I had a 50/50 success rate)
    Second, the iPad will only import properly named photo and video files. You cannot transfer music or documents.
    Third, there is zero support for the export of files.
    You can look into wireless flash drives. The Kingston WiDrive is just one example. They generate a localized wifi hotspot that you can connect your iPad to and then use an app to transfer files.

    Photoshop is not a format.  It's an application.
    What you are looking at are not true JPEGs, just iPhoto's "tease" representations of the hidden images it swallowed, as explained above.

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

    We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

    In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
    Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.
