You can use Migration Assistant or Manually move files using an External Hard Drive.
see > Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac
You can also use your home network to share files with the new iMac.

How can I import Quicken Files from a G4 to a new iMac.

I need to transfer my Quicken 2007 files from my G4 to my new iMac. My G4 is running OS 10.4 and Quicken Essentials for Mac requires 10.5 or above. My G4 cannot run 10.5. My iMac is running Lion and I've heard if I load Mac Essentials on my iMac, I won't be able to import the files from my G4. Anybody have any ideas?
I've been considering making a copy of my system and applications folders on an external firewire drive, then connecting it to my iMac. I thne plan to use the external drive as a startup disk and load Quicken essentials on the external drive. Then, once eveything is loaded, I was hoping I could copy the files and pull them over to my applications folder on my iMac. Does anybody know if that will work?

I'm in the same boat!!! Been a long Time Quicken user and they finally made the software almost un-useable. I have 2 intel laptops in the house and a G4. The intel systems are both running Lion had I known the quicken conversion software dosen't run on Lion I would have converted all my quicken backups (going back to 1997) before installing Lion.
To answer your question, what I have found out is convert all your files on Lepoard then update to lion. The conversion software that comes with Quicken Essentials will work on Lepoard. Thats how I converted mine. But last week I needed to go back to and old backup looking for some transactions and found the Lion issue. Had to boot up the G4 and load the old Quicken software to look at the backups.
Been really thinking of switching to another product.

How do I get my music from my ipod onto my new imac

I have an ipod mini and just bought a new imac. When I plug the ipod in it says it is already sync'd to one library and I cannot sync it to another. I am clueless about how to get my music onto my computer...lol. This is probably complicated by the fact that I've never had a mac before. I also bought a new nano so once I get my music onto the mac I want to get it onto the new nano. Maybe I am doing this all bassackwards?
Appreciate any help you can give!

How can i import my files from an Acer into my new iMac - easiest idiot proof solution pls

i bought an iMac, and would like to migrate all data from my old Acer aspire one over to the mac
i tried thru wireless ------ too dumb for it - or to bad step by step guides to do it
same for connecting the two by ethernet....
can someone guide a dummy thru this pls?

Do you have a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, if so then plug it in to your USB port on your Acer and copy your my documents folder to to the drive. After ejecting the drive insert it into the Mac and copy the files into your home folder. I would copy folder to folder from drive, for example; your documents folder files from Acer to Mac documents folder and so forth.

How can I get word files from my laptop to my iphone3GS

I am a new user and would appreciate any guidance please.
Are there any apps that I can use that will allow me to use a hard connection to my laptop or even wireless to my laptop that will allow me to upload and download word and excel files and ready them on the move?

Quickoffice and Documents to Go are two such apps. They use Wi-Fi (3rd party app data cannot be transferred over the USB cable).

My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows. I registered my new ipod to a Mac. How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

My 1st ipod was lost. My library is on a Dell with Windows. I registered my new ipod to a Mac. How can I get my library from Windows onto my new Ipod?

Thank you for your help. I am still having trouble. As you can tell, I am not technologically advanced AT ALL. My music is all showing up in the library but when I go to file in the top left corner, Sync is greyed out and I cannot select it. I'm gonna continue to try this. It's been a long time since I had my 1st ipod and things have changed so much I will probably need to research this stuff. Thanks again for your help.

How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2?

How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2? I can open the GarageBand Documents folder through iTunes while the iPad is sync'd but I can't seem to "add..." any of my old .band folders to the iPad to be able to view those music projects. When I tried I could only sync individual data files contained in the .band folders over to the iPad and there was no way to organize them into .band project folders. What can I do here to get these GarageBand projects onto my iPad for further use?

This is not currently possible. You can transfer an iPad project to the Mac, and transfer songs/loops from the Mac to iPad, but not GB files from Mac to iPad.

I have a new pc windows 7 and when i plug in my ipod it says it must erase all the data to sync. How do i get the music from my ipod to my new computer. The old computer is trashed and files are not available, songs are only on ipod.

One of the reasons why including your iTunes library with your computer's backup is a good idea. Use this link for future reference in this regard.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, and iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize your new computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
With your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

How do i get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer. When I try to sync it says it will erase everythiong from my phone.

How do I get my library from my phone to my new computer? I no longer have access to the old computer and when I try to sync my music, it says it will erase everything on my phone. My itunes library is not showing up when I sign into the new computer. Its not even showing any downloads.

The iphone is not a backup/storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which you sync.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.

Hello ashlyn888,
Based on your post it sounds like you would like to sync your iBooks content with your computer. I have located an article that may help you in this situation. While you can sync this data with your computer you can also use the sharing button to send PDFs using various sources:

Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

First try this:
- Go on iTunes computer

This will only transfer iTunes purchased music, not ripped CDs. and it is unnecessary now, as the music can just be downloaded from the cloud.
