Does MacOS recognize Windows directory structure? Can I move an entire folder (consisting of subfolders and files) from Windows to Mac?
Can I move an entire folder (consisting of subfolders and files) from Windows to Mac?
Mustafafromnc,
if you’re talking about a USB drive, then it will probably have an exFAT filesystem. Modern versions of OS X can read from and write to exFAT filesystems without problems, so you would be able to move Windows folders, subfolders, and files from an exFAT filesystem to an OS X filesystem.

I bought a new computer running Lion 10.7.3 and transferred my applications and files from my old Mac using migration assistant but I can't find/transfer my photos from iPhoto and I can't find my old documents such as previous tax returns.
Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.

How do I transfer my email history and files from windows using MS Outlook to an imac
I am about to buy an iMac. How do I transfer my email history and files from my MS Windows based computer, using Outlook?
You might want to use Migration assistant. On the internet you will find the Windows software to install on your Windows computer.
Mac has its own assistant, called configuration assistant.
On the Windows PC, you will need to shutdown antivirus software and also to turn-off the Windows Firewall.
After software installation and starting the program on your Windows PC, you need to run configuration assistant on your mac.
Best and fastest sollution would be to connect both computers with a UTP cable.
Follow instructions to be found here:

Hope it works out for you.

When I try to connect the files to the catalog on the Mac, many (~9000 out of ~12000) files show as can not reconnect. Elements finds "similar" files (actually the files I want) but says they are not the same file. I noticed that many of them have the time parameter different in the file compared to the catalog. If I go ahead and say reconnect anyway, I get another error indicating the the data has been changed by two different sources. If offers the choice of overwriting the file data with info from the catalog (which loses the EXIF data in the file) or says leave the file alone (which loses the keyword metadata from the catalog). Is there any way to get Elements to connect all of these files while retaining all of the EXIF and the keyword metadata without having to re-edit or re-import each of these files? My ultimate aim is to then move all of these photos into the current version of Lightroom on the Mac.
You won't like this response, but there is no way to simply move any Adobe software installation from one system to another. In part, this has to do with the registration/activation infrastructure that Adobe uses. FWIW, Adobe isn't the only software vendor for which you can't simply move software from one system to another via various migration tools.
You must totally uninstall from the first system including product deactivation and then install on the new system and reactivate.
In terms of “fixing” your current system, I would recommend totally uninstalling the software (and deactivating in the process), reboot, and then reinstall from scratch.

I have not looked at the other thread mentioned, but usually when this ends up happening, There are several ways to go about it. One is to map a drive to the UNC path deeper into the folder structure.
So instead of C:\long\path\that\we\dont\want\files\in
You map a drive.. lets say M:\ to \\computer\c$\long\path\that\we\dont\want
Now, when you open Explorer to M:\ you've elimintated the length of the path down to M:\files\in which is completely usable.
The other way, is to shorten the names of everything. For example...
Folder structure like this:
Root
-----Folder1
-----Folder2
--------------Folder2A
-----Folder3
--------------Folder3A
Rename all the folders to shorten up the path. Rename Folder1 to '1' Rename Folder2 to '2', Rename folder3 to '3. Then try to delete. If it's still too long, go one folder deeper. Rename Folder2A to '1' and
Rename Folder3A to '1' and so on. Basically keep renaming everything to a single digit character and eventually you'll shrink the path down to where you can shift-delete everything remaining.
Hope that helps.

I use windows 7. Can I move my itunes library to a network hard drive? If so, how do I do this?
I use windows 7. Can I move my entire itunes library off my computer to my network hard drive?
if so, how do I do this?
ThanksHello dreid20,
Indeed, you can move your iTunes Library to a network volume. The only stipulation to keep in mind is that you'll need to be connected to this volume before launching iTunes for it to function properly.

I would first try unplugging All the USB devices plugged into your computer, and then plug back in just the iPhone and see if that is recognized. Also, do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed on your PC, as you need to?

Time Machine does not recognize my password. Can I change or delete?
Time Machine in my MacBook Air does not recognize my password. Can I change or delete?I'm connected to an auxiliary disc via a USB connection and power is present for both devices. No Backup started after disc encryption and now the external disc drive can be used since the password I started with can not be used to unlock it. Am I missing something or am I just out of luck with this external drive?
I had already done this to no avail. I'm wondering if I'm confusing the password to unlock the external device with the password to encrypt the disc used after it was connected to the MacBook. If so, there is no way I can recall a password for a device I bought a decade ago (pre increased security about identity theft, etc.). So maybe the answer is to secure a new device.
