Best way to send files back and forth between PC and Mini
I know something similar like this has been asked a million times, but I couldn't quite find the answer I need. Basically I work on the PC and my new Mac Mini, and I want to be able to quickly share files between both of them. I know I could use a USB stick, but seeing both machines are sharing the same internet connection on the same router I was thinking there's a way to do it with that or wirelessly? migration assistant seems to just be about sending files to the mac and that's it.
Thanks for any advice.
That would be a standard Windows issue, but for starters, take a look here:

Whats the best way of sending files ?
whats the best way of sending files (mp3's) to another computer over the internet, been doing it over msn, but takes a while, is there any other way?
Have you thought of using an intermediary file server, e.g. yousendit.com, rapidshare.de, etc? Alternatively, you could do it the computer-to-computer route by enabling either 'Remote Login' or 'FTP Access' (Sharing preference pane) on one and connecting with the other.
As an aside, what you're doing isn't illegal, is it? Pardon my bluntness.

It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf. -
I was online (on Facebook) when suddenly my coputer screen developed these little dots--uniform across it not just in a browser window--and they started flashing back and forth between blue and pink. The computer froze up and I had to reboot. It hasn't gone away and it's terribly annoying. What should I try to do?
It may be a problem with your video electronics - possibly heat related. Shutdown the PB & leave it overnight. Then startup & see if the dots appear.

What are the ways to send files like photos wireless from Macbook to iPhone/Ipad? And Then vice versa?
Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs. -
HP PhotoSmart 6525 Switching Back-and-Forth between Wireless and USB
Hi,
I setup my HP PhotoSmart 6525 using the "Wireless with a router" setup instructions (i.e. not Wireless Direct). I am able to print from my laptop through the wireless network. I would also like to be able to print from my laptop using the USB connection at times when my laptop is physically sitting next to the printer. At times when it is not, I want to continue to be able to print wirelessly.
Is it possible to setup the print drivers on the laptop so that I can easily switch back-and-forth between USB printing and wireless network printing? I suspect that it may not be possible because the user guide has a section describing how to "Change from a USB connection to a wireless network" that has you click on a menu item called "Convert a USB connected printer to wireless". There are no instructions for how to convert back to USB. Moreover, the use of the word "convert" does not make it sound like you can maintain both print methods simultaneously on a single computer.
Does anyone know whether it can be done, and if so how?
Thanks in advance,
Paul2
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hey Paul2,
I see you have the HP Photosmart 6525 installed for Wireless printing capacity and would also like to add a USB driver so that it is available for use when near the printer. Please follow the steps below to add a copy of the printer for USB printing. The below steps are for Windows 7 and below based computers. If you have Windows 8, then the steps will be slightly different so let me know. Please let me know if you have a Mac, because I can provide those steps at that time.
Press the Start menu of the computer
Select All Programs
Open the HP Folder
Open the folder for the HP Photosmart 6520 series
Select "Printer Setup and Software"
Select the option to Add a new printer
Select the USB option
Plug the USB cable in when the software requests it and proceed through the install process
This will leave the Wireless driver support in place and add a second printer under the Devices and Printers window for USB printing. The USB printer may contain Copy 1 in the name as a differentiation, however the other one should also state Network in the printer name to indicate it is the wireless option.
I hope this helps,
Jason

How do I switch back and forth between Roku and Verizon FIOS TV?
I just purchased a Roku 3500R Streaming Stick (HDMI). I set it up with no problem. What I can't figure out is how to switch easily between viewing the Roku and viewing regular TV. The only way I was able to get rid of the Roku screen was to unplug the Roku from the one HDMI connection on my TV, and replace it with the HDMI connection from my set-top box. If I got an HDMI splitter, would there be a way to switch back and forth without unplugging things?
FYI, my TV is a Sony Model KDL-32S2010. Any suggestions would be gratefully accepted!Looks like your TV only has 1 HDMI port.
A splitter won't work. Would need to get an HDMI switch.
Or just get component cables (will need 4) to run from FIOS box to Component ports (3 video and 2 audio) on the back of your TV.
Then just use the TV menu to switch back and forth.

Easiest way to transfer files larger than 4gb between mac and windows?
I just borrowed a windows laptop and formatted an external USB drive FAT32 and am able to transfer files from my Tiger OS Mac and the Windows 7 computer..but now I discover the maximum file size is 4GB. How could I transfer files (usually video) larger than that? Thanks for any help.
Set up a network and file sharing, or format the drive to Mac OS Extended and install the MacDrive trial on the PC, or format the drive to NTFS and install the NTFS-3G drivers on the Mac.

Best way to send files to another machine.
What I am wondering is this. I go to project manager and choose to backup to an external drive a trimmed version of the project to be opened on another computer.
My question is this. The first computer only had a a simple raid setup so media cache and previews were all on the same raid as the media files. The machine I am now going to finish the edit on has 2 raid setups on it. Media cache would rest on F and media and pre view files on the E drive. Do I need to make sure the imported project has the preview files on the E drive and any media cache as well? Even though I believe media cache does not get batched out with the trimmed project.
Any Ideas would be great. Thank you
DavidJust export without any cache, and when you open it on the new computer, make sure that the preferences and project settings are the way you want them before you do anything to the project.

Files back and forth between leopard and win 7
I'm thinking about installing win 7 on my mac pro. I'll be using both win and leopard at the same time.
Can I access files that were made on my windows drive from leopard?
Macs and PC don't use the same drive format right?NTFS is seen as read-only, so yes you can access files from Leopard.
Put Windows 7 on its own drive, makes life easier. -
How can I go back and forth between Word and FrameMaker
I have a client who has all their documentation in FrameMaker, but needs to export to MS Word to distribute files for editing by various parties. Once edited, my client needs to bring the updated text back into Frame, ideally without having to re-format the entire file. It was suggested that RoboHelp 10 might work, but they are using unstructured FrameMaker.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!Jeff's recommending the best tool and workflow; I'll happily second that
because it creates a much better audit trail of who wrote what and what
happened to it than Word.
If you have to user Word, export isn't too big a problem, although I'd
strongly recommend MIF2go instead of RoboHelp for this. The problem is
going to be round tripping the comments back in... best you can do is use
Track Changes in Word, get it technically correct, and then copy in Word
and paste as text back into Frame.
It'll be pretty laborious hand work. PDFs and electronic review would be
much easier.

When I try to purchase any free app, I try to click the green install button and it toggles between the install and free icons in the app store. Tried rebooting and also syncing iphone to computer but no luck. Any suggestions?
If resetting the iPad doesn't help, try these things.
Quit the App Store app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to download an app again.
If that fails, try downloading something in iTunes. There is free content in there so find something that you don't have to pay for and download it. If that works, try the App store again. -
Taking my mail back-and-forth between work and home?
Which file/folder can I backup to a jump drive so I can have the same mail on my work and home macs?
Thanks.stanwelks wrote:
I'm guessing homedirectory/Library/Mail is the actual Mail folder and the other one is the settings?
yes, that's correct.
com.apple.mail.plist does not seem to exist on my mac?
make sure you are looking in the right place. It's Library/Preferences in your home folder not at the root level of your hard drive.
If you are using Mail, the file is definitely there.

Apple TV -- going back and forth between primary and secondary library
If have a good deal of music and pictures in the primary library of Apple TV, is there any reason why can't for a while switch to streaming additional pictures and photos from iTunes? Does the process involved in doing this act to delete materials in primary library? Understand that can't do both at once.
Thanks.(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)
A primary library will both sync and stream (with the exception of photos which have to be streamed). Anything in your primary library which you have not opted to sync will automatically stream, unless you have instructed it not to do so. Any content which is currently synced, which is subsequently unchecked for syncing will then be streamed.

How do i switch back and forth between vertical and horizontal tab bar?
my lovely vertical left side tab bar switched suddenly when i clicked something accidentally. i'd like to know how to get it back. i got it back months ago when i also clicked, accidentally, but the "get back" was a surprise, too, since i didn't realize what i'd clicked.
Hold shift while dragging the tab bar back to where you want it.
