Can't transfer file to .mac with loepard. works with tiger

I have a 12.6 MB file on a CD. I tried to transfer it to my .mac account on two different computers running Leopard. It fails with a permissions or ownership problem of some type. I put the same CD in a very old original iMac running 10.4.10 and it transfers just fine. ??? What.s up..

The exact message is that "the file (name of file) cannot be moved because the folder (account name)-public cannot be modified. Thats the message I get with Leopard. It works fine with tiger.

New to Mac....can transfer files from Toshiba to Mac. But can't transfer files from Mac to Toshiba??? Can anyone help please?

New Mac user......own a new iMac and iPad and still use a Toshiba Laptop. Can transfer files from Toshiba to iMac but can't transfer files other direction?

Are you doing these transfers over a Network connection, the systems are networked together over your Home LAN? Or are you doing it with an external drive?
If an external drive Mac OS X can READ Windows NTFS formatted drives but can NOT WRITE to them. So you can co[py files to the drive on your Win PC and READ them on the Mac but Mac OS X can not Write to that drive so you can't copy files from Mac to that drive.
For an external drive to work on both systems, be able to Read and Write from/to that drive, it has to be formatted either FAT32 or exFAT.

How do I transfer files from mac with snow leopard to a new retina display mac

What is the easiest way to transfer files from my old mac(2008) snow leopard to my new retina display mac book pro?

Easiest? Well there is some sort of wireless transfer thing, but I hear it takes FOREVER like several days and it's glitchy.
The Retina doesn't have a Firewire port I believe, so Target Disk Mode is out, unless you have a adapter and I don't know how well that will work out. Cost another $30 for the adpatper I bet.
The likely most easiest?
Run down to any computer or office store and pickup a powered external USB hard drive that's the same size or larger then the old Mac's boot drive.
Boot the old Mac and download Carbon Copy Cloner.
(or use the TimeMachine if it asks, but it takes a reallly long time and if there are problems, then it's harder to recover files from)
Format the external drive in Disk Utility with Partition: option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled (default setting)
Use CCC to clone OLD A boot drive to External Drive B, takes about a few hours depending how much stuff you have.
Hook up drive to new Mac, (either clone or TimeMachine drive)
Use the free Migration Assistant in your Application Utility folder to transfer over, but creates a new user account (you can later delete one)
Or if you haven't set up the new Mac yet, when you do set it up during that process, you can transfer from the External Drive B and it won't have the account you set the machine up with naturally just uses the ones from the clone or TimeMachine drive.
Once your fine and dandy on the new machine, then Disk Utility erase and use the external USB to create either a bootable clone with CCC or a TimeMachine drive for backup.
Since you need a backup drive anyway, this method is better and happens to be reliable and easy.

Can I transfer files using Bluetooth with an iPod Touch?

I have just updated my iPod Touch to 3.0 and I heard that there is a stereo bluetooth feature. Can I somehow transfer files and media using it? (No jailbroken !!) If not, how can I use it?

There is no file transfer via bluetooth, only music streaming to a compatible bluetooth headset.

Can't Transfer Files between Macs

I originally thought the problem was with my new Airport Extreme N Gigabit router, but direct connecting both a PowerMac G5 and a Macbook Pro via cat5e ethernet, my transfer speeds over both FTP and AFP start out fast ( around 30 - 40 mb/s ), then tail off to nothing. As it's doing this, I can watch in the System Preferences as the Ethernet connection goes from green to red, sometimes hopping back and forth. Sometimes the transfer will resume only to stall again or stop completely.
I'm not having this problem when direct connecting using IP over Firewire 800. I've tried using the Finder, Transmit, and Flow for transfers, all yield the same results.
I'm running the latest everything on both machines and on the base station.
Any ideas?

Sounds like it's formatted for Windows. If that's the case it's read-only without 3rd party tools.
Use disk utility and format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for best use with the Mac.

How can I transfer files on Mac Mini Server?

I purchased this week a new MacMini Server and as brilliant as it is, I seem to have loaded all my files from my MacBook Pro onto the wrong disk; ie, the Macintosh HD2 rather than the Macintosh Server disk.
The question is, how can I effect a transfer easily to the Server HD. Then I would like to delete everything I put in the HD2 from my Time Machine transfer?
I fear I really flipped on this one!
Any helpful comments appreciated.

Your best bet is to boot from the Server Disc (hold down option at the reboot chime sound) to select it.
Then run Migration Assistant and connect the MBP via Firewire cable and move the required files over
Once done just erase the HD2 Volume
DO NOT copy or Clone the System folder and Library from the MBP as it's not compatible.

You can't fit 300 GB on an iPad.
Are you sure they are 300 GB, I've never seen a file of that size, what type of files are they.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

How can I transfer files between a PC and a Mac NOT on the same network?

I have an iCloud account, a Time Capsule and a Seagate Free Agent portable hard drive. Which ways can I transfer files (any or all three?) and how? Here's my dilemma: I'm a graphic designer and I work on a PC at my office. At home I use my MacBook Pro...same programs, save files. However, I had trouble earlier saving my new documents onto the Free Agent from my MacBook Pro as the Free Agent was Read Only and original files on it were from the PC. The PC is not on my Time Capsule network and not accessible or even close to my MacBook. I simply want to be able to save the files I updated/changed on my Mac to somewhere that I can access them later from that PC...right now they are saved to my Documents folder. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Can u transfer files via airdrop from a iphone 5 to a mac and vice a versa

hi,
can u transfer files via air drop from an iphone 5 to a mac air, and mac air to a iphone 5.

I would like a constructive response, rather than an ascerbic one.
We have owned Iphones for a couple of years, and used photostream to copy photos to a PC...
Within the family, we have 2 ipod touch, 2 x iphone, 2 x ipad minis and 2x Ipad Air.
I have recently purchased a Mac desktop and would like to use this as a central backup and storage for all devices.
I have been made aware that photostream / Icloud will only do its thing and back up to the Mac whenever the designated account is open on the Mac. (so I must remember to ensure the account for each family member is opened at lease once a month)
SO, on one of the iphones, for example, we have over 900 photos in the photostream album. When connected to the Mac, only the last 30 days of photos are copied across (about 60 photos).
How can I transfer across the other 850 photos ?
I cannot copy them across to the camera roll on the iphone
I cannot access them from iphoto
the camera does not show itself as an " external drive" in Finder (Please note I am more acustomerd to using a PC).
Itunes only allows "sync" and "backup" of the phone but is not at all helpful. (No indication of what is is/has backed up or synced)
My Icloud is currently holding 12gb of my data, but the only info I KNOW is in the Icloud is my next dentist appointment.
I really wish to transfer these photos across, as I would also like to upgrade the ios software, but this needs a few gb of memory space, and, of course, the
These photos are visible within the iphone, but how do i get them transferred???
like I said at the beginning, constructive answers please.

Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.
