  • How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?

    How can I transfer my files/system in VAIO laptop (w/ S400 Firewire port) to my New Macbook Pro?
    Do I need to buy an adapter? How do I setup the software to make these two system connected?

    Thanks for your answering. But the issue is that I'll often transfer a large amount files from PCs to the Macbook, and I'm explring the way to use firewire since there is indeed an i-S400 port in the VAIO laptop, and it's much faster.
    USB 2 is faster than Firewire 400 and USB 3 is faster than Firewire 800
    If it was another Mac you were transferring from then you could use Firewire Target Disk Mode which makes the boot drive of the old Mac appear on the desktop of the new Mac to rapidly copy files, but you have a Windows PC with no FWTDM capability.
    So to connect the two machines requires a network be setup over Ethernet and mucking around with the complexities of all that and it still takes awhile to finish. One can't setup a network with a PC over USB or Firewire, only Firewire with another Mac.
    You get a external USB drive, USB 3,2,1 is fine and just drag and drop copy, the machine does all the work and you go do something else until it's finished, then repeat the same with the Mac.
    Fast simple and effective, let it copy overnight if you have too.
    I routinely clone my entire hard drive via USB 2 and it only takes a hour and a half for 350GB.
    By the time you figure out how to network a Mac and a PC over Ethernet and getting it work to transfer files, you could be done already via USB.

  • I have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?

    Greetings,
    What happens when you drag it?
    Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
    Click on the movie file and go to File >  Get Info and note the "size"
    Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
    Also note the format of the drive you are copying too.  If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I transfer document files from my mac classic to my macbook?

    I have a floppy drive on my old mac classic and cd drive on my macbook.  Is there some way to connect the two and transfer files directly?

    A Macintosh Classic (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198) has a SCSI hard drive. Even though the hard drive can be removed and placed in an external SCSI enclosure, it is not going to be easy to find a way of connecting it to a modern Mac. That would normally require a USB-to-SCSI adapter, which may or may not be supported under the latest operating system versions.
    The easiest method of transferring files from a Macintosh Classic may be via an external USB floppy drive connected to the modern Mac. 1.44 MB Mac-formatted floppy disks can be used for such transfers (not 800K).
    A SCSI Zip (100) drive could in principle be connected to the SCSI port of the Macintosh Classic. The Zip disk could then be moved to a USB Zip (100) drive connected to a modern computer.
    The Macintosh Classic does not have built-in Ethernet, nor a slot for an Ethernet card (certain other "classic" Macintosh computers do have the ability to hold an Ethernet card). There are some external solutions (such as SCSI-to-Ethernet adapters), but with limitations. For a networking overview, the http://www.applefool.com/se30/ web page could perhaps be of interest.
    It is also possible to arrange a null-modem connection between a Macintosh Classic and a modern computer, providing that a USB-to-serial adapter is attached to the latter (appropriate terminal emulation programs are needed on both sides).

  • How do I transfer pdf files from Ipad to Itunes on my windows computer

    I have been trying to transfer some pdf files from my Ipad to my windows computer using Itunes with no luck. The files are listed in Ibook as pdf files but Itunes does not recognize them as pdf fies.  Is there a way to transfer the files to my computer that I don't know about?

    You can use the desktop version of iTunes app to transfer PDF files between your iPad and MacBook Pro.

  • How do I transfer files from my old laptop with a broken screen to my new macbook pro?

    I recently purchased a new macbook pro and would like to tranfers files such as music and documents from my old sony vaio laptop. The problem is that the screen on my old laptop is broken so the image is distorted and I cannot see a thing, which means I probably wont be able to use Windows Migration Assistant. Does anyone know of another easy way I can transfer my files to my new macbook pro? Thanks

    Manually migrating
    If you prefer to move your files one by one between a Mac and a PC, consider the following options. Some are easier than others, and some require more computer experience, equipment, or resources.
    Generally, you can migrate your files to the Mac by:
    Copying the files from your PC onto external or removable storage media and then use that media in your Mac to transfer the files to your hard drive.
    Sending files over the Internet. If you have an email account, just send the files to yourself from the PC and then pick the mail up on your Mac and save the attached files to your Mac hard drive. You may want to compress larger groups of files first.
    Connecting the Mac and PC together through a network to use file sharing to move the files.
    Tip: If you're moving files over manually, you'll save yourself some time down the road if you organize your files during the process from the get-go. For example:
    Move your PC My Pictures photos to your Mac’s Home folder Pictures folder
    Move your PC My Music song files to the Music folder on your Mac
    Move your PC My Videos files to the Movies folder on your Mac
    Move PC text and PDF files to your Mac Documents folder
    Export PC contacts to vCards, and import them into your Mac Contacts
    Use external or removable media
    If your Windows PC has a CD or DVD drive, or a USB port:
    Copy the files from the PC to an external hard drive or storage device, then reconnect the drive to your Mac and transfer the files to your Mac hard drive.
    Burn files to a CD or DVD on your PC, and then use the discs in your Mac to transfer the files to your Mac hard drive.
    If you don't have many files, transfer them over email, create zip files for larger groups of files. Mail your files from the PC to yourself, and then pick them up using Mail on the Mac.
    Use a network connection
    Connect your old PC to your Mac—either directly or over a network. Before you start moving files over, you should install any Mac software that is needed to open the files. Once you're done, use one of the following migration methods:
    Direct connect
    To move files by connecting your Mac directly to your PC (if both have an Ethernet port):
    Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
    Make sure that both computers are turned on.
    In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
    Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
    smb://DNSname/ShareName
    smb://IPaddress/ShareName
    Click Connect.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
    Your PC volume should appear in the Shared section of your Finder window on your Mac.
    Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
    When finished, click the eject button to right of your PC volume to unmount it.
    Network connection
    To move files by connecting your Mac to your PC on the same network:
    Make sure that both computers are turned on and connected to the Internet.
    In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
    Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using this format: smb://ServerName/ShareName, or select the name of your PC in this window (if it appears).
    Click Connect.
    Enter your PC's workgroup name, your user name, and your password when prompted, then select the volume or folder you wish to access.
    Your PC volume should appear in the Shared section of your Finder window on your Mac.
    Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
    When finished, click the eject button to right of your PC volume to unmount it.
    Alternative methods
    Copy files to a shared file server.
    Purchase PC Data Transfer service at your local Apple retail store.

  • How can I transfer my data from my internal hard drive to my internal ssd on my macbook pro?

    A few days ago, I replaced my optical drive with an internal ssd. Now I want to transfer my operating programs from my hard drive to my new ssd. How do I have to do that?

    I can only tell you that my system has the SSD in the optical slot. I know others don't recommend that, but it's worked fine for me. As for copying everything over, why not just use Carbon Copy Cloner? I don't see why you need Time Machine backups. I'm assuming your SSD is the same size or larger than your HD, or at least large enough to accomodate all your data. Then if you decide to swap the drives around in the bays, you can do that as well.

  • How can I transfer "Pages" files  from my IPad to my Mac?

    How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

    Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
    The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
    Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

    How do I transfer epub files from my laptop to my Ipad Air

    If they don't digital-rights-management on them (if they do then check the site that you got them from for which apps you can use for them on your iPad) then you can add them to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Add To Library menu option - if using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then add them to its iBooks app via File > Add To Library.
    Then connect your iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes, and use the Books tab to select and sync the epubs to your iPad's iBooks app
