Files transfer to Windows PC

I have a power PC with system7 installed. I wonna transfer all data files to a windows PC. And I have some Aldus Page Maker files in there and I wonna convert them to the Adobe PM. How can I do this. I am a newbie for the MAC. Please help me. My email is ruwan.alahakoon (at) yahoo (dot) com

There are several ways to do this.
Some of the PowerPC Macs had built-in Ethernet when delivered. See also the technical specifications. An external AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver may or may not be needed, depending upon the Mac in question. If you wish to use Ethernet, please post back with additional information about the computer model.
All PowerPC models should have an operating system with PC Exchange (look for it in the Control Panels folder). This means that PC-formatted floppies can be used for transfers. However, the file size limit will be somewhere around 1.3 MB.
You could connect a MiniDIN-8 serial port (Modem Port) on the Mac to a DB-9 serial port of a PC by combining a Macintosh hardware handshake modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F). A terminal emulation program with file transfer capabilities (such as the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Mac and HyperTerminal on the PC) is used on each computer.
If both computers have a modem, transfers via terminal emulation software can be carried out over the public telephone network instead (two lines required, one for the Mac and one for the PC).
A variant would be a direct modem-to-modem connection (in principle as in KB article # 22229.
With a modem for the Mac, and Internet software (if not already on the hard disk, it is not difficult to install a couple of small programs), you could use e.g. email for transfers.
The transport of an unprotected Macintosh file to a PC will result in loss (or damage) of the resource fork (that is, one of the Mac file parts). The remaining data fork is, usually, sufficient for documents. Check the Save as dialogue on the sending Mac and compare this to the Open dialogue of the receiving PC. Try to find a "common denominator" file format.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Large file transfer for windows computer

    i made an hd-movie which size is about 6 gb and would like to give copies to friends with windows computers. i have an external drive with a fat 32 partition, but it's not possible to copy the file on this drive, i think the limit is about 4 gb with fat 32 formatted disks. any idea how to manage this?
    one of my employees has a mac with windows running on it, can he copy the file for me? the external drive has two partitions, one fat 32 an one os journaled, is windows running on a mac able to read an os journaled disc and copy the file on the fat 32 partition?

    If you don't know, then look something up.

  • I want to transfer my Windows files from my Clickfree external drive to my new iMac. iMac recognizes the drive but won't read the files. What should I do? My PC hard drive is dead so I can't hook up my iMac to that.

        I'm switching from Windows to iOS. But my new iMac won't allow me to transfer my Windows files on my Clickfree HD425 over to the iMac. It initialy didn't even recognize my hard drive during set up, so I manually went through Finder where it recognized the Clickfree drive. But my files wouldn't appear. I can't go back to my original Windows computer because the hard drive crashed, and that's why I bought this new iMac in the first place. What should I do? As a Mac newbie who was reluctant to exit the Windows world, I don't want my original babystep into the iOS world soured by my first experience.

    Hi Rick, & a warm welcome!
    In Disk Utility on the Mac, what Format does it say the drive is?

  • How to transfer files from a window PC to iPad3?

    How to transfer files (mainly PDF files) from a window PC to iPad3? I am a new user of iPad, please tell me the basic method.

    You will first need an app on the iPad that supports PDF files - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app. Apps that support PDFs include free apps such as Apple's iBooks and the Adobe Reader app.
    For iBooks, you can add the PDFs to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library, and they should then go into the Books part of your iTunes library. You can then sync them to the iBooks app on your iPad (which you will need to download from the store and install on the iPad first) by connecting the iPad to your computer and selecting it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then using the Books tab on the right-hand side to select and sync those PDFs to it.
    Other PDF apps quite often use the file sharing at the bottom of the device's Apps tab
    If you don't have a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/

  • Finder windows not opening, file transfer box not showing.

    If I go to open Finder from the dock, or using Command + N a new window doesn't open, I have to open it using harddrive icon off my desktop. Also, when transferring files from drive to drive (either on my computer or across the network) the box showing how far the transfer has progressed doesn't turn up. These are causing me significant problems, so if anyone can help that would be hugely appreciated!
    Oh, as I've been writing this about 30 finder windows opened at once, so it appears soemthing is delaying the response, although not regurlary, as they all opened at once. They do now open but the file transfer isn't showing still. My computer has been on an hour and a half for finder to sort itself out, it's ridiculous!

    Hi MLansdell, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your Finder works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Slow file transfer speed on OS X / Windows LAN

    I have a Mac Mini with OS X Server (Yosemite) on a network of 5 Windows 7 PCs, the server hosts FileMaker Server 13 and also some files in a shared folder.
    I notice the file transfer speed when copying a file from one PC up to the server's shared folder is around 350KB/second, is this an acceptable speed? how could I improve it?
    Thanks for your help.

    I'm having the same issues.. I recorded a bunch of video with the 4s.. now i'm copying them to my windows 7 pc with it peaking out at 900KB/sec.  My corsair thumb drive in the same port gets 5-10x this speed.  any luck getting faster speeds?
