Getting information from PC external hard drive to Mac external hard drive

I am a photographer and have recently made the switch from PC to Mac to be able to work better and also to use the programs I like to use in full-functionality. However my only issue right now is that I have Past work that is complete and saved onto an external hard drive from me PC. I do understand that I am going to have to get a new Hard drive for my Mac to store me recent and future work on it, however I would like to know if there is any way where I can get the older work from the PC hard drive onto the Hard drive I'm going to be using on my Mac.
As silly as it may sound is there a place or does the apple store have a way to perhaps transfer these files onto the new external. Or what is the best way I could do it myself even. Whatever will do the job withou losing/messing up files I will take!

Yeah I've plugged it into the Mac the light comes on that is on the external (which means it's powering up) but the external is not detected by the Mac I can't open it's contents. This is the external hard drive that I was working off of on my PC http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=2000011851
I did some reserach and found that it's not compatible on Mac's, so it left me to find a new one, but i have no way of transfering the files.

    How do I get photos from backup external drive on to my new hard drive on my MacBook

    How did you use this backup drive? Was this a Time Machine backup, or just an external drive to which you copied files?
    I assume your photos were in iPhoto.  If you're just talking a bunch of JPEG files you can just drag them wherever you like, otherwise:

  • How can I get information off my old hard drive?

    Recently my old mac book died. The genius bar said that it would be 750$ for repairs and since it had been 5 years since I'd gotten the laptop, I opted to buy a new MacBook Pro. The problem is I have stuff on my old hard drive that I want to keep (mostly the pictures from my iphoto), so the genius bar took the hard drive out for me. So now I have the hard drive from my old laptop and I'm not sure how I get the information off of it.
    I tried to look it up online and saw something about a hard drive caddy? I have no idea what these are/ how they work. Do you just put the hard drive inside of it and connect it with a usb chord? Are all of these compatible with the macbook hard drives and will it work with my new macbook pro?
    Or could/should I just go to best buy or something to see if they could put it on a CD for me?
    What are my options/how can I go about getting the information from the old hard drive onto my new laptop?
    Thanks!

    You want to buy an enclosure that will accept a 2.5" IDE hard drive(I think that is what your computer probably had). Once you put the old hard drive into the enclosure, just connect it to your new computer using USB or Firewire(if the enclosure has Firewire ports) and copy your stuff over.
    Now is a GOOD time for you to buy another external hard drive and back up your new computer to it often. This will save you the trouble of recovering your information in the future. It is always recommended that you back up your important files to several places.

  • The 'Get Information' button in my printer driver dialog is grayed out.  This happened when I upgraded my mac (and macbook).  Can't find any help anywhere.

    I recently upgraded both my imac and macbook pro to a new mac mini and macbook air.  I have a networked (via airport extreme) canon ipf6100 printer that had been working great from my older computers (all running current mountain lion).  The new computer's printer driver setups went well and the dialog says its online and ready.  The problem is the 'Get Information' button in the 'Main' driver panel is grayed out.  The driver cannot read the printer's configuration (i.e. roll or sheet paper) and therefore cannot print correctly.  I have tried re-installing the driver (current one from Canon's website) and have tried connecting the printer to USB directly with the same result.  I have not been able to find any help on this anywhere.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,

  • Get information from an array saved into a text file

    I am trying to get information from an array saved as a text file to extract the information to build an string. This string will go out from the serial port to a device which will listen this message and it will answer the question. All the information sended sequencially it has to be obtained from that array. Every row contain one instruction and this has to be sended one after one.
    Could you tell me if is possible to make this driver? And if you have a similar driver, Where can I get it from?

    The VIs that I would suggest using are found in the String Function Pallet:
    Spreadsheet String To Array
    Array To Spreadsheet String
    The delimiter should be the termination character. These VIs will adapt to a string array.
    For the Spreadsheet String To Array wire an empty string array and use %s as the format. The delimiter should be the termination character of the text file, most likely a end of line (\r\n).
    For the Array To Spreadsheet String the delimiter should be the termination required for your serial device.
    Using a combination of these two VIs should provide you the functions required to make the driver.

  • Updated to firefox 4.0. since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website.

    Over a week ago I updated my computer to Firefox 4.0. Since then my computer is very slow accessing the internet, websites and getting information from within a website. Also, a tool bar has shown up for YAHOO which I did not request. The old detailed tool bar for Firefox has disappeared. All that now shows for Firefox is the area to enter website urls and an area to enter topic for a Google Search.
    Many times I have to exit Firefox and re-enter it later to access the internet.
    Please advice what I need to do to get back to the speed I had with the older version of Firefox.
    Thank You,

  • How to get information from Oracle's views

    Hi,
    I need to get information from Oracle's views about:
    * in which table's column is set index
    * what type of index is on this column
    * name of a trigger which exist on a table
    * type of trigger (before, after etc)
    * trigger status (enable, disable)
    Thanks for help.

    Hi..
    One of the best way to know which views to use is doing select * from dict where table_name like 'xxx';
    For example in your case you needed to know about the indexes and triggers so
    SQL> select * from dictionary where table_name like 'DBA_IND%';
    TABLE_NAME                     COMMENTS
    DBA_INDEXES                    Description for all indexes in the database
    *DBA_IND_COLUMNS                COLUMNs comprising INDEXes on all TABLEs and CLUSTERs*
    DBA_IND_EXPRESSIONS            FUNCTIONAL INDEX EXPRESSIONs on all TABLES and CLUSTERS
    DBA_INDEXTYPES                 All indextypes
    DBA_INDEXTYPE_COMMENTS         Comments for user-defined indextypes
    DBA_INDEXTYPE_ARRAYTYPES       All array types specified by the indextype
    DBA_INDEXTYPE_OPERATORS        All indextype operators
    DBA_IND_PARTITIONS
    DBA_IND_SUBPARTITIONS
    DBA_IND_STATISTICS             Optimizer statistics for all indexes in the database
    10 rows selected.
    SQL> select * from dictionary where table_name like 'DBA_TRI%';
    TABLE_NAME                     COMMENTS
    DBA_TRIGGERS                   All triggers in the database
    DBA_TRIGGER_COLS               Column usage in all triggers
    Reading the comments you can know which view to use, then  describe the view and use what you need

  • When getting information from SLD, should SMSY create a system for EP?

    I've connected my EP NW2004s system ES3 to the SLD.  I connected Solution Manager 4.0 to SLD so that SMSY can get information from the SLD.  When I run the import, I see:
    1. ES3's server sapeps03 created under SMSY Landscape Component ->Server.
    2. ES3 's database ES3 created under SMSY Landscape Component-> Database.
    3.  ES3 Java component entry created under SMSY Landscape Component->System Components->Java System.
    BUT, I don't see an ES3 entry under SMSY Landscape Component->Systems->SAP Netweaver.  Shouldn't there be?  Do I have to create this manually?
    The ECC 5.0 system RS3 got created under SMSY Landscape Component->Systems->SAP ECC.   Why not the EP system?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Mel Calucin

    Hello Mel,
    the SMSY transaction had a lot of issues resolving the appropriate Java product with older versions of Solution Manager. For instance, you can take a look at the SAP Note 1392992.
    Newer versions of Solution Manager (currently on SP24) resolve most of the issues. The portal is certainly detected successfully.
    My recommendation would be having Solution Manager updated always with the latest Support Package stack available.
    All the best,
    Andreu

  • IS Possible to get information from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeat section

    IS  Possible to get the values from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeat section? by Codeless
     and then with this result used to filter DDL
    Or GetUserProfileByName  is only useful when it is used for FORM LOAD
    CRISTINA&amp MICROSOFT Forum

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use the GetUserProfileByName service in InfoPath form.
    We can get information from GetUserProfileByName inside of repeating section, however you need to give the name of user so that the service can be used to get the details of the user.
    Please refer to the link below:
    http://thinketg.com/using-infopath-and-the-web-service-getuserprofilebyname/
    You can create rules to query for data using GetUserProfileByName, and it is not only useful for form load.

  • Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone?

    Can i set my iPhone 4 as a new phone then use iCloud to get information from before restoring the phone? I've restored my iPhone 4 thru iTunes and now trying to set it up using iCloud but it says 'no back ups available'.
    I was upgrading my OS system thru iTunes but the plug on my macbook came out and battery ran flat half way thru. This jammed my iPhone 4.
    I think it's to do with the OS system. That if i take it to the previous OS system it might work. But since i'm in phone set up mode i can't get into general setting to change it back.
    So can i set it up as a new phone and then use icloud to restore info? Or shld i set it up thru iTunes and then iCloud (but since it jammed half way thru upgrading and i've restored i don't think iTunes has any of my previous info)? Or is there something else i can do?

    No. You can set up as a new device or restore from iCloud or iTunes. It looks like you backed up with iTunes, so you can't restore with iCloud. To backup your device in iCloud, go to Settings > iCloud and activate it
