Can I copy folders or nested folders from a PC to a Mac?

can I copy folders or nested folders from a PC to a Mac?

Sure you can. I have folders on my Mac from my PCs and folder from my Mac backed up on my PCs. In fact I have the complete drive from my Mac, including every file and folder (even the OS files and folders) stored on a couple of my PCs and external drives.
It is called Networking.

  • Can't put files into nested folders in dock

    Whenever I try to put a file into a folder I have in my dock, it will only let me put it in the first level of the folder. Ideally, I would want the folder to pop open and show the next level of folders so I can navigate through levels of nested folders to put the file in the exact place I want deep within my folder hierarchy. I know I can hold down Control on a folder in the dock to show my nested folders, but how can I drag files into those nested folders? I thought this was supposed to be automatic in Tiger. Please help.

    Yes- Easy!
    When you have your Creative Media Explorer open and your portable device connected, you will see your Zen V Series Media Explorer in the SOURCE window in the upper LH corner. Click on the "+" in front of the Zen V Series icon and it will display the list of folders on the device.
    Right click on the main folder for the category you want to put the sub folder in and you will get a drop down menu.
    Select "New folder" and you will get the "New Folder" box asking you what name you want for your new folder. It's that easy.

    Can I copy my Lion operating system from my Mac Air to another household computer?

    It should also be noted that you can upgrade all Apple computers in your home free IF you paid for one license.
    It should also be noted that you are NOT supposed to sell a computer that contains an UPGRADED copy of Lion.

  • How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I just purchased a book to read on the Kindle app on my iPad.
    I would like to copy a paragraph of text to email to someone or to possibly quote in a blog post.
    How can I copy a paragraph of text from a Kindle book on the iPad?

    I'm very late to the conversation but thought I'd chime in since I've just been dealing with this myself. One way to copy from Kindle books is to make sure that you have your settings to backup highlights etc. online, then highlight the text in the Kindle app, go to your Kindle webpage (https://kindle.amazon.com/your_highlights) and copy the text from there.
    Remember, to be able to do this you have to set the app to backup highlights etc. I think this is set individually for each book. On my iPad the default is to backup.

  • Can I copy the content of my Apple TV to a new Mac?

    Can I copy the content of my Apple TV to my new Mac? If so, how

    Not without doing things that void the warranty. You can always disassemble it, put the hard drive into an enclosure and copy things off it that way. Not for the faint of heart.

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac?

    Any suggestions on how you can transfer photos (including location description etc) from iphoto's on a Mac air book to a Mac? Whenever I export the pictures the additional information is lost

    Two ways:
    1. File -> Export. Set the Kind to Jpeg or Tiff
    Check the boxes at 'Location Information' and 'Titles and Keyword'
    The information is written to the iptc and Exif metadata on the file.
    2. Use iPhoto Library Manager This will get all of the information plus faces and edit history

  • Can we copy standard buisness area folders to customise business area folde

    hai,
    I want to copy standard business area folders to customise
    business area folders.How I have to link AP_PO_INV and how many folders
    i will get in customise business from ap,po and inv.what are they.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As Russ says, yes you can take the supplied folders and copy these into your own custom Business Area - then add or subtract to them as much as you like.
    How you join them will depend on your APPS set up - assuming that the joins supplied by Oracle do not fit your purpose.
    You can also join your own simple/custom folders to these standard folders - again this depends on what you want to report and how you have set up your APPS (use of DFFs, custom tables etc)

  • HT201250 Can I copy a time machine backup from one mac to another?

    I have two Mac Book Pros that I use for work - I have one at home and one at work. I'd like to copy the contents and setup from my work Mac to my home Mac using a time machine backup, and then continue to use the time machine backup back at work. I.e. the time machine would only be used with the home Mac to copy over the contents and setup of my work Mac.
    Can I just do a straight time machine back up in my 2nd (home) mac, or will this override the back up I have from the 1st (work) machine?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Note that you can restore a Time Machine backup on all the Macs you want, always that the Mac uses the same or a newer OS X version than the one that had the Mac you used to make this backup.
    Also, you can back up different computers to the same Time Machine drive. In this case, Time Machine will create different folders in your Time Machine drive for each computer, so one Mac backup won't conflict with the other computer backup.
    To restore a backup, use Migration Assistant. Just connect the Time Machine drive, open Migration Assistant (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps to restore the backup onto the computer
