File transfer from windows

I used the migration assistant to transfer fils from my Windows pc to my new MacBook Pro, but the transferred files only show up in a new user created by the assistant I supose and I cannot access them from my user account. Can anybody tell me how to transfer them to my user account or access them from my user account ?

youreally, really need to back up and learn baics about computers.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but to make your life easier. Tough love or whatever.
Every computer on the planet has a file system that uses the analogy of folders inside folders.
Start on your desktop, double click your hard drive.  Double click on users. Then on your user folder (generally yourname or whatever you log in with) then on documents.  You will see your document files (but not, for example, musci or videos - those are in music and videos, and not all the support files for mail, etc.
But the bottom line is you really must know where your stuff is, or, if you prefer not to, call a service to come and help you (at $XXX per visit).
My bigger concern is that you'll never find all those support files like mail settings, bookmarks, etc. that migration assistant should have brought over.  I would tend to delete the user that was created, and start over, carefulyl following the instructions to get them to YOUR user folder.
All your stuff on a mac is in /users/you
on a PC its in /users (or is it user files?)/you (fancy that)
Explaining every step here is asking too much, really, for either of us.

  • Files Transfer from Windows Server 2008 R2 on Mac

    Hi,
    How can I transfer files from "Windows Server 2008 R2" on Mac? as now I am using 2 App (Microsoft Remote Desktop & Fast Remote Desktop) which allowed me everything but not transfer files on Mac, so any other recommendation or salutation?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You need to configure folder redirection.
    Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
    redirected.
    Configure Folder Redirection:
    1. Click the + button.
    2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
    l 
    Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
    l 
    Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
    3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

  • IMac wont boot after file transfer from Windows laptop

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for some advice if anyone can help?
    Sunday evening I transferred asome data off an old knackered Windows laptop via my home network. During the transfer, my 2013 iMac 27" started to really slow down and became unresponsive (i tried to cancel the data transfer and restart). In the end I have to force shut down by holding the power button in. Now, upon reboot of the machine, it won't get passed half way of the progress bar - and I've left it an hour at the most and given up.
    I have attempted a verify and repair in Disk Utility, and even though I have managed to Verify Disk and Repair Disk, they took an absolute age to get through - I was chatting to an Apple Customer Care person, and they told me to chat back once it was done, which was probably 20-30mins after I started.
    I then went on to Verify Disk Permission, which I left running for around 2 hours until it finished, and then moved onto Repair Disk Permissions, of which I cancelled after about 4 hours worth of it doing not a lot!
    When I try and boot, it gets to a stage where the hdd is making a repetitive noise, as if it is stuck in a loop somehow.
    I am running Yosemite 10.10.1, and have reset the PRAM to no avail.
    I am fearing the worst tbh, but my main concern is the data on the drive - any tips on how to attempt to recover that data - or to fix the drive itself?
    Thanks
    Andy

    The correct way to restart in Safe Mode is when you hear the "Bong" sound hold down and continue to hold down the Shift key until a progress bar appears. Here are Apple's instructions on how to correctly restart in Safe Mode.
    I would recommend that you also look over Gray screen appears during startup.

  • Leopard Upgrade and Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC

    Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC - I successfully upgraded my MacBook to Leopard with the following exception where I was previously able to transfer files to a Windows PC. I can still connect to the PC but unable to see the folders in "finder" or move files over to it. I can still do this however from my other Mac (iMac) which is still on Tiger. What would the upgrade have done to prevent file transfer being done?
    Thanks Neil

    I had similar problems with browsing Windows shares... Initially I performed an Upgrade installation of Leopard. A temporary work-around was to use the IP address of the Windows computer.
    For example (in the Connect To Server dialog) use:
    smb://<IP address>/sharename
    Obviously, you'll have to determine the local network IP for your Windows computer and know the name of the share. You can do this by opening up a CMD window and issuing the following command at the prompt:
    ipconfig/all
    Hope that wasn't too "technical".
    Note: What fixed the whole problem for me was to perform a clean installation of Leopard... Now all the Windows computers on the network appear under Shared in the Finder sidebar.

  • Getting error in file transfer from one system to another system

    Hi All
    One of my client (User) wants to transfer his file from  SAP R/3 System SAP XI system. He is using a customize t-code ZFIR0325 (Trial balance report transfer to Hyperian System). When user execute the  program he is getting error "File Transfer Failed due to Network chk with Admin"
    I checked with Network team but they said it is okay from their side. We also check for authorization but there is no issue regarding authorization.
    Name of File Path of Aplication Server, XI destinaion and XI directory entered by user is correct.
    We also put authorization trace in XI System to RFC User (In file transfer from one system to another system this RFC User is geeing Used) but no authorization issue was found.
    Please help me to resolve this problem. I any detail require I will provide the same.

    Firstly, no one in the community can answer on how a custom transcation code and a program associated with it behaves.
    If there are no authorization issues in the system, you have to look at the exact error message. Look if your XI system is allowed to receive files from the SAP system.
    Unfortunately, you should do some more home work before putting your question here. If everything is fine and configured correctly, then the issue might be with the program.

  • File transfer from one system to another system

    How can I use ODI to do file transfer from one system to another system ?
    Do I need to create Models or I have to simply use Jython procedure/script to do the same ? Kindly help. I have done DB to DB using Knowledge Modules. But I am not able to understand this piece.
    Kindly help.

    If you are asking about file transfer use ODI FTP tool to do it. If you are asking about file transformation..
    You can not do file transformation directly in ODI like we do in any other ETL tool like data stage or Ab Initio.. File transformation in ODI can be done using staging database in an interface(i.e ELT way).
    Create source and target data stores for the file to be transformed. Create an interface using File to SQL LKM to load the file into staging database and then use SQL to File Integration knowledge module.
    Thanks,

  • Original File transfer from G4 to new G5

    About to buy G5 20" this week -
    Apple Store says they can do file transfer from my imac G4 to new G5 for me at time of purchase, but cannot transfer any 3rd party apps (Photoshop, Ill, DreamW, Acrobat, Word, etc.). However in users manual it looks like if I do it originally myself with SetUp assistant, I can include these apps -- but perhaps not later using Migration Assistant after Apple Store has used the SetUp assistant. I'd like to avoid having to re-install all my apps if possible.
    Also, If I do it SetUp Assistant myself, is it best to use Firewire cable vs. Ethernet?
    Any intelligence/advice would be appreciated.
    thanks

    I would just drag app files over via Firewire (which is superior over ethernet).
    Here is how it is done:

    iPhone contacts: file transfer to Windows 7 via USB-cable
    My iPhone can communicate with the computer only via USB-cable (no mobile data, no bluetooth, no internet, no outlook). As I want to get the phone to the "doctor" I want to save specifically my contact data and calendar details on the computer (OS: Windows 7). How can I solve this task? I will appreciate your valuable information, thanks.

    Using the iPhone, the USB cable, iTunes and Windows Contacts, sync the iPhone contacts to Windows Contacts. That will save them there. They are also included in the iPhone backup made in iTunes, and if you use iCloud.
    I'm sorry, I missed the calendar part the first time I looked. For calendar, you need a supported application on the computer (Outlook) or if you use iCloud, you can use the iCloud contacts and calendar app to sync.

  • Access linux file system from windows and vice versa

    Friends
    Do anyone of you have any idea about how to access linux file system from windows using java. Thanx in advance.
    Regards
    Rakesh

    "Accessing" is vague. Do you want to read? write? Both?
    Here are two ways I'll mention.
    1. Write an ftp client for the "cleint" computer. I beleive java has some framework functions for doing this.
    2. Write java RMI client and server to open, read or write, and close a file. Pass a byte array parameter containing each block of data.

  • Bluetooth file transfer from BB Z10 to Windows 7 Laptop

    I have my BBZ10 (OS 10.2.0.424) successfully paired with Windows 7 Laptop. I often use the BBZ10 BT Internet Teethering. It works very well.
    However, when I want to transfer a file from BBZ10 to my Laptop. I follow this process
    In the background the Internet Teethering is ON, and working
    select the file in Z10 File Manager.
    click on share icon to share using BLUETOOTH
    Before pressing the name of my paired devices on Z10. I click Bluetooth icon on laptop and select 'receive a file'. This opens a box showing the laptop is waiting in receive mode.
    Then I select my paired computer name on Z10 to initiate transfer.
    The transfer bar appears on Z10 showing the progress, but in 4-5 seconds, it says 'TRANSFER CANCELLED'.
     And on my laptop it says 'BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER NOT COMPLETED'.
    i have used exactly same process with my BB 9800 several times with success.
    Another thing I note is, if the Internet teethering is OFF, I cannot turn BT connection to the laptop on. It come up with error message ' Cant' connect , you must turn on internet teethering on yoru device.'
    Please troubleshoot.

    hi eddie-n200,
    Can you send a file from the laptop to the cellphone? If you can, check if the "Allow remote devices to browse, send, and receive pictures, music, and other files" option is enabled on the BT settings:
    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    As an alternative, you may also want to try Bluesoleil or similar software to send/receive from the laptop.

    If your programs are Photoshop Elements, then you have posted in the wrong forum. This is the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing), not Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum (photo editing).

    If wrong forum, then please re-post your question in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
    If I were doing this I would probably have the two versions of Photoshop Elements on the same computer and convert the Elements Organizer 10 catalog in Elements Organizer 12. (See Elements Organizer 12, File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager/Convert. But, best ask the experts in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.

    Simply copy the files on a windows formatted (FAT32) usb stick from mac to pc. If you have office installed on your pc it works like a charm.
