HT4796 Can I transfer files from a PC to Mac Book Pro using an ethernet connection cable and if so what kind

Can I transfer files from a PC Windows 8 based operating system to a MAC Book Pro using an ethernet cable and if so what type of cable. The wi-fi system where I am temporarily located is very slow and thus the transfer may take hours.

  • How to transfer pictures from my cellphone onto mac book pro

    How do I transfer pictures from my cell phone unto my macbook pro?

    What Cell phone do you have? I have the LG Lucid phone which is an android phone and just use the usb cable to transfer the files. I also have dropbox that I will use from time to time as well. I have to set the connectivity setting to Mass Storage to be able to transfer files and photos. The media sync option only works if you have Windows. When I first plug the phone in, Mac will tell me that the device is not compatible and will ask if I want to eject or ignore it. When the phone is first plugged in, it tries to run as an installer so Mac doesn't like it. Once I ignore it, the phone then becomes a storage device and will show both the internal and the external SD card on my desktop. I can then use the standard copy and paste methods to move files from the phone to the drive or you can use iPhoto or other photo progams to copy them. I have picassa on the system that I use to get photos.

  • How can I transfer files from iPhoto  on my mac to my iPhone?

    Trying to do the reverse of what's normal.  Thx.

    Connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab of you sync settings, check Sync Photos from iPhoto, select which photos you want to sync to your phone, sync.  These photos will appear on your phone it Photo Library (which contains all the actual photos) as well as within the individual folders you chose to sync to your phone (which contain links to selected photos in Photo Library, not duplicate photos).

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

    How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

    Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
    Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
    Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
    Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

  • Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer files from Windows Vista or Windows XP

    I'm running a English Windows Vista Ultimate and just bought a
    ENGLISH Windows 8.1. I've downloaded the WET for Windows vista and tried to complete the second portion of the transfer by specifying the saved .MIG file WET created. Then I got the error message: "Windows Easy Transfer can't transfer
    files from Windows Vista or Windows XP".
    The truth is, Microsoft was too busy integrating special effects to it's operating system and claimed it as fully polished instead of making sure built-in tools were worth using.
    Another harsh reality is that THERE IS NO WAY TO TRANSFER a file from Windows Vista to Windows 8. That's because engineers didn't even bother to make that possibility happen. Just Google: "Transfer from windows vista to windows 8" and you'll see
    there are no relevant Microsoft web page about this.
    Worse, Microsoft is giving excuses. To solve this issues, they came with a toolbox of fake scenarios in order to confuse clients even further, while they know damn well the Windows Easy Transfer is NOT EASY and certainly in multiple cases
    DOES NOT TRANSFER jack to begin with.

    I somewhat agree with you.
    Trying to transfer from 7 to 8.1 and although it looks like the "7" side of the equation is working, the "8" side isn't.
    "7" is trying to connect to "8" but "8.1" is being just plain stupid.
    Not even sure why the MIG file step is even necessary if all I want to do is transfer one file between two machines.  Said file is really BIG, or i'd just use my network, and the "8.1" rig doesn't have a dvd reader...
    Per the MIG step... my file again, is big... I'd need to "mig" this file just to send it? Can't even get to the step where I'd mig-it and if i did, how long would that take?
    So this is what progress is all about... geez... gimmie a NULL MODEM CABLE !!!

  • I have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk?

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • Can i transfer file from application server to lotus server.

    hi

    i m geting file on application server but i want to transefer that file from application server to lotus server.
    if yes than give me suggestion.
    thanks in advanced.

    Hello Laxman
    If you want to trigger the file transfer from within SAP then you need to execute an <b>external OS command</b> (transaction <b>SM49</b>, <b>SM69</b>).
    At the level of the OS (operating system, e.g. Windows, Linux) you need to be able to transfer files to the Lotus server.
    Your task is, for example, to write a report executing the external OS command which will be executed at the OS level where the file transfer happens.
    Regards

    Nokia Express Music 5320 Transfer ‘Files’ via CA-101 cable data
    Transfer files with Nokia Express Music 5320 is very easy. Just connect the CA-101 to your Nokia 5320 then plug into pc
    From Nokia Express 5320 menu , select ‘Mass Storage‘.
    In few seconds, it will be recognized as a USB storage. You can create any directories that you want.
    I suggest to create based on category so it will easier for you to browse your files in the future.
    Go to directory in your PC and select files that you want to copy.
    Go back to your Nokia and move to the directory that you want to store your files and paste into it.
    The copying process is done.
    If you are done, make sure to do safe remove by select ‘Unmount Volume’ menu at ‘Nokia 5320 icon‘ before you plug-out the CA-101 cable data.
    This question below will occur if you deleted some files in your Nokia 5320 Express Music. I suggest to choose ‘Empty Trash’ because it will remove the deleted files from your Nokia trash bin permanently.
    Now, you can unplug the cable.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
