  • How to load files from old external hard drive to new PC

    Copied files from old PC (Windows XP) to external hard drive. Purchased new PC (Windows 7). Paid technicians to transfer files from old PC to new PC. Some files were lost in the process.
    Please walk me through (step by step) on how to load spicific files from an external hard drive onto my new PC.
    Thanx, rp1

    Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus are displayed at the top of the screen.
    Click Go > Network
    Double click the Time Capsule icon, then double click the icon representing the drive to mount it on the Mac's desktop. It is named "Data" unless you have changed it
    You can drag/drop files to the "Data" icon on the desktop
    235 GB is going to take forever if you try to do this using wireless. If at all possible, connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule.
    Even using Ethernet, you are probably looking at 10-12 hours for the file transfer.  All bets are off with wireless only, but a guess would be several days....or even more.

  • Macbook screen cracked. How to transfer files from old hard drive to new computer?

    I had a 13" white macbook, but the screen cracked, and the computer wouldn't work anymore. I took it to be fixed, but they weren't able to fix it, so they gave me a macbook pro. I asked them to try and transfer the files from my old macbook to the old one, but they said that they couldn't, and gave my the hard drive and said I could have someone else try to fix it for me. How do I connect the old hard drive to my new macbook to see if I can get the files off of it? I don't have the old computer anymore, just the hard drive itself. Thanks!

    Sorry, I don't understand all of this stuff. Do I have to buy a certain one for Mac? Or will any enclosure work?  Would this one do what I need? http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/startech-startech-external-hard-drive-enclos ure-with-integrated-usb-cable-sat2510scb-sat2510scb/10192449.aspx?path=9e9804b6f 287edbfe4f83d36c2a6aa71en02

  • How to transfer files from old iMac to new iMac without transferring everything.

    I just got a new iMac and would like to transfer files from my old iMac.  I don't want to transfer everything from the old iMac.  I just want the files, iTunes library, iPhoto library, etc.  I don't want to transfer applications and settings.  I was told in the Apple store that if I transferred my files using system setup then my new computer would look just like my old one.  I'd rather start out fresh with the new one and just bring in the files I need.  Is there a tool that allows you to customize what you transfer over from old to new?  Thanks for your help!!

    Carbon Copy Cloner might be the correct tool. It lets you pick and choose what to clone.
    http://www.bombich.com/ccc_features.html
    install CCC on the old Mac,
    connect the Macs with an ethernet cable,
    enable file sharing on both Macs,
    use "connect to server" (in Go menu) to mount the new Mac's drive on the old Mac.
    run CCC.

  • How to transfer files from old iMac to new iMac

    What is the easiest way to transfer files from my current iMac (intel) to my new iMac..which be arriving this week?
    Thanks

    Get a Firewire cable to run between your old iMac and the new one. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new computer for the first time. You will find yourself in the Setup Assistant. You will have an option to transfer files from another drive or Mac. Choose that option to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network preferences. You will opt to transfer from your old iMac's hard drive which should appear as an alternative source.

  • How to transfer cost from old sales order (cancelled) to new sales order

    Hi Gurus
    I want to know, how to move cost from one sales order to another sales order.
    SD created sales order before 1 month and there was production order behind this. Production was completed and all the cost was moved to sales order and also SD has raised invoice on customer. This transaction was completed.
    The above order was rejected by customer due to some changes in the order. SD raised another sales order and production order was created to to additional work. Production transfered above stock (produce before on old production order) to new production order.
    My problem is stock is now transfered to new production order but cost is still sitting on old sales order. How do I transfer cost from old sales order to new sales order. SD cancelled old invoice and raised new one with full value (old + new work) on new sales order. Now cost is on old sales order and revenue is on new sales order.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi
    I have reverse the sales order settlement, PP order settlement to sales order and I have also done KB11N for transfering the cost to the new production order.
    The only problem is I was unable to transfer labour hour confirmation as cost element used for this are not for transfering cost. If I will reverse the confirmation in PP order system will reverse material movement also which I don't want any more. Can you please tell me how to I reverse the Labour hours with out affecting goods movement?
    Many thanks

    All I want is to use some of my files on my new one.I don't want to transfer ALL my files,just some,like pictures. But only the once I need. Not all of them.
    I have a FireWire cable,don't work, I have ethernet cable,don't work.
    So I must do something wrong If someone could maybe explaint it to me step by step that would be great,since I am not a big Mac (computer) freak.
    So basically I would like to use my old iMac as a external drive where I could get my files from and transfer them to my Mountain Lion, iMac.
    Also If someone knows,why Mountain Lion always loses internet conections,would be also a very big help! Thank you!
    But please, in simple step by step explaining. My english is not the best,my German is much better
    Thank you so much already for the help, I really appreciated!

    Oh, on the losing Internet, try this...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...

    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.

    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...

  • How to transfer files from old flat screen Imac to time capsule?

    I just purchased a brand new Imac and would like to transfer my files, pics and music to it from my old flat screen Imac.
    I have a 500gb capsule as my wireless router and backup for the new imac, however my old imac does not have airport installed on it so I can't access the capsule wirelessly.
    So... I was wondering if I could link them together through ethernet or hook the old imac to the capsule with an ethernet cable and off load my files to it?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Ok, let's give the following a try:
    1) On the host iMac (the "old" iMac), in the Services pane of the Sharing System Preferences pane, turn on Personal File Sharing.
    2) From the Finder's Go menu on the "new" iMac, choose Network. A computer icon for host iMac should be present.
    3) Double-click it to mount it. You will need to provide credentials (an account name & password). These credentials must be an existing user account on the host iMac.
    4) The host iMac should now be mounted on the new iMac's desktop. You should now be able to transfer files as required between devices.

  • Getting files from old external drive to a new one

    I have a dying Acom ac powered 80gig external drive on my eMac and a powerbook that is running out of drive space.
    The Acom has one USB and two firewire outputs, one firewire is hooked up to the eMac . The Acom is all itunes music (none from the Apple Store) .
    I had an ex-friend set it up so I don't know squat about using external drives . I think I'll get the LaCie Mobile firewire . From what I've read it seems the best . Any other suggestions are welcome .
    Is there a good tutorial somewhere on how to do this ? I would like to transfer all the music from the Acom to the new drive and be able to use it like I did the old one AND use it with my powerbook to do the same thing .
    Will there be a problem with library ? In iTunes (4.7) I have "Create file names with track number " checked but I don't have "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" I don't really know what this does but it sounded like it took up space so I haven't ever checked it .
    as mentioned the eMac is iTunes 4.7 using Panther and the powerbook is iTunes 6.0.2 using Tiger .
    G4powerbook tiger- G4eMac panther   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    What you like to do can be done, but not using different main versions of iTunes.
    The reason for this is, that the 'iTunes Library' file has different structures with different main versions and is not downwards compatible.
    Unless you have a reason not to upgrade iTunes on the eMac, my advice would be to upgrade.
    If you purcase music at the iTMS, using iTunes 6, you won't be able to play them on previous iTunes versions.
    If you have MIDI files, don't upgrade to the latest iTunes 6.0.4, unless you own QuickTime Pro.
    iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4 are having troubles with them (iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4).
    I have an G4 iMac running iTunes 6.0.4. and an G3 iMac DV running itunes 6.0.2.
    My music is stored on an external drive and it is no problem at all to use it on both computers.
    There are a few requirements however (more about that later)
    My advice would be to take the next steps.
    • Purchase the mobile drive and transfer the music to it, using the instructions in the 'Moving your iTunes Music folder' article.
    You will still have a backup on your Acom (as long as it still is running) in case something might go wrong.
    • Upgrade iTunes on the eMac
    • Copy the 'iTunes Library' file from eMac to the new mobile drive, attach the drive to the Powerbook and copy the 'iTunes library' file from mobile drive to Powerbook. Read "What are the iTunes library files?" to find the exact location of the file.
    • Run iTunes on the Powerbook. you should see the entire library as you saw it on your eMac.
    A few things to consider and take int account:
    Decide which computer to use to add and import music. This will make things a lot easier.
    You can of course add music on both computers, but you have to swap the 'iTunes Library' over and over to keep the libraries on both computers synchronized.
    Always attach the mobile drive to the computer, before running iTunes. If you fail to do so, iTunes will reset the 'iTunes Music folder location' to the default location on the internal drive on the computer. Unless you 'point' iTunes to the location on the mobile again, songs you add and import will then be stored on the internal disk.
    Let know if you have further questions.

  • What is best way to transfer files from an older imac to a new one?

    I have time machine on old intel imac.  I have 700gb used on old and don't want to transfer everything (trying to use this  "set up" process to also keep old unused stuff from transferring to the new imac). I can use firewire to transfer.  I have read the Apple support article on migration but I'm not clear on the ability to drag and drop only what I want to transfer. Thanks

    Thanks.  Wonder if you can advise further:
    As I noted, when I get around to starting  this transfer next week, I want to carefully move files to the new imac almost "one at a time" or groups of files at a time (not literally.)  Reason: 1. in order not to move some old files that I don't want on the new mac, but I'm reluctant to delete from old mac yet.  And 2. I'm fairly certain there is a corrupted file somewhere in the old mac. This is Apple Store Genius bar tech's conclusion after several visits and attempte over the last 6 months to do iphone 4 OS updates on this old mac which resulted in failure to update - received error "device not eligible for rebuild."  I was eventually able to perform the updates on my iphone 4 using my wife's newer Macbook, which she and my son use for their iphone 4s and with which they never encountered the same failure.  And yes, the latest ios5 update also failed on the old imac(again did the update using the macbook.
    (BTW, I did the update using the macbook, then return to the old imac to restore my iphone using the itunes on it.)
    Also, FYI -  this old imac is not a core 2 duo so it won't accept Lion.
    So that was a long way of saying I don't want to chance moving a corrupted file to the new imac.
    Therefore, can you direct me to instructions that would direct me to, as example, move this first, then this, then this, and so on.
    I have several users on this old mac, although my user has the most files, many iphoto and imovie files and it is critical that my user files are moved successfully.
    Also, I use time machine to back up on an external HD, and I use Carbonite too.
    Any advise appreciated.

  • Transfer applications from old apple id to a new one ..

    hi guys,
    i have a problem ..
    my boss's apple id has been hacked.
    The password didn't change, but the security questions and the forgot password email has been changed, so we can't reset or change the password.
    we've tried to add alternative email, and reset password, but the email from apple to reset password always redirected to the hacker's email.
    we can't reset using security questions because the hacker have changed that.
    so, we consider to create a new apple id, but the questions are :
    1. can we transfer all applications from the hacked apple id to the new one, so we don't need to buy all the applications again and can automatically update all the applications that we downloaded from the hacked apple id?
    2. if we stop the credit card from the hacked apple id, can we still update all the applications that we downloaded with the hacked apple id?
    thanks before,
    krishna

  • How to open files from old claris works with Appleworks 6 in OS X 10

    Hi,
    I have some claris works files backed up on a zip disk from a G3 with OS 7.X.
    Now I try to open them on another G3 with Appleworks6 in OS X 10.
    In Appleworks, I choose "open file" but those files are grey out so I cannot choose them. Is there anyway I can open those files in OS X 10?

    Kuul, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    MacLinkPlus @ http://www.dataviz.com/products/maclinkplus/ will probably translate the files so you can open them.
