How can I access files on an old Dell Windows '95 machine that is not network accessible?

How can I get access to files on an old Dell Windows '95 machine that is not network accessable? Currently using Mac desktop and MacBook Pro running OSX 10.9.4. The Dell does not have ethernet or ISB

If you are both connected to the same local network use the sharing section in System Prefernces.
On your partners Mac set up file sharing on the folder that has the files you require acces to and confirm the permissions are suitable.
You will be able to navigate to that folder with Finder, use the connect to server in the Go drop down list. You may be able to use your partners machine name or the IP address.

The only problem is that it is many years since i worked with OS X 10.4 so there may be slight differences.

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

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

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

How can I access my itunes account, old computer crashed?

My computer has crashed and have recently purchased a new one, all my movies, books, music was on the account on this computer, how can I access it again?
I have all my downloads, movies, books, music, so how can I acces that itunes account if my computer has crashed and now have a new computer?

The easiest way to get back missing items? Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies). Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
I am a bit confused by your use of the word "account". You may have an "account" on the iTunes Store. What you have on a computer is your user account, part of which is the iTunes folder which usually houses a collection of files that make up what you see when you open the iTunes application. When you open iTunes it does not normally open an account to your files, it just opens the ones on your computer. If your old computer died and you can not longer use the hard drive (which is not necessarily true but we would have to know more about the situation in detail) then not only your media but your playlists, ratings, etc. are also gone (unless you have a backup). As indicated above, iTunes Store will let you download some things again, if they are still there and you are running iTunes 10.3 or greater. Things like movies are gone unless you have a backup copy elsewhere. The iTunes store does not contain playlists, etc, nor your ratings since all you are doing is downloading brand new copies again.

TS1741 I have loaded my music library ti iTunes on my home PC. How can I access my music on my iPad air, both on my home wifi network and any other when I am travelling? Thanks.

How can I access my iTunes music library using my iPad air, both in my home wifi environment and away from home? Music loaded onto iTunes on my home windows PC. Thanks

Start iTunes on the computer and connect your iPad to your computer. Select your iPad in iTunes on your computer then select the Music tab in the main window. You can choose to sync all music to your iPad or select only those playlists you want on the iPad. When you click on .sync or Apply the selected music will be copied to your iPad.
You can sun photos this way also.

I used "time machine" to transfer the information, but now I want to know how to access those files or import them...Please help! I don't want to have to pay $20 to talk to apple support

How can I access files that are saved in the iCloud?

Hello fellow apple fans,
I downloaded Mountain Lion yesterday and was very pleased to find out that it is possible to upload several file types from several programms into the iCloud. But now I am concerned that this feature could turn out to be useless for me: e.g. the PDF-upload from Preview" - once I uploaded it I can't find it annywhere, neither on my iPhone nor on icloud.com. I can only access it when I open Preview and look for "documents saved in the cloud". Same problem with several types of files - I can't find anything that can't be opend by the iWork-suit if I don't use the same programm that I used to save it in the cloud.
Is this feature only meant to help people that own more than one Mac?
Thanks for your help
Thadeus1991

Unfortunately, you're right. You can open iCloud documents on multiple devices, but only if they have the exact same software. If you save documents on Preview or TextEdit on your Mac, you can't open them on your iPad or iPhone because there is no equivalent software.
I use Goodreader to read documents on my iPad and iPhone, and there is a workaround that I learned about on a popular Apple fan site that allows me to access my Goodreader iCloud files on my Mac (they are stored there even though there's no direct way to access them). Hopefully, Apple will address this issue and make such workarounds unnecessary.

How can I access files saved from the browser on my tablet? Doesn't open files?

I tried to save a document on my tablet but in the downloads place in the browser it wouldn't open. I thought it was OK cause maybe the doc format, but I just tried to save a photo and when I tried to open it, it said "unable to find the default app."
How can I get the photo on my tablet under pictures or something? Do I need to download a special app?

WMA files from libraries usually if not always contain DRM, which makes it impossible.

How can I move files or complete websites from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 for Firefox, without using sync?

I'm writing documentation telling end users how to move large websites (up to 4GB, including PDFs but not sound or video) from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2) to be used offline there -- preferably moving the site by a wired connection, instead of using Firefox sync. I have the latest Adobe plug-in, and the latest Java from Oracle, on the Nexus 7 (it would be nice if it were not necessary to download these after downloading the latest Firefox for the Nexus, but I suspect that's not Mozilla's fault).
So I saved a small test PDF file on the Nexus 7 (to see what download folder it got put into -- it showed up in sdcard/Download/). However, when I move a small PDF (that was NOT created on Nexus 7) from Windows to Nexus 7 (through the USB wire) to the same folder, the file does show up there as expected (as seen by ES File Explorer), but is invisible to Firefox.
Also there are several files left over in that folder from a previous installation of Firefox on the Nexus 7 (I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, for a blank-slate test). I would also like to make these files visible in the new installation of Firefox, in order to delete them.
How can I instruct the end user to change permissions or whatever on the Nexus 7, or otherwise cause certain PDF or HTML files in the sdcard/Download/ folder to also be visible to Firefox?

The best way to do things is to use sync. If you wish do use other methods it would become complicated.

How can I publist my iWeb site to a Windows Server? (FTP is not an option, neither is a Linux server))

So I need to publish my iWeb site to a Windows server on a secure I can't access directly. I believe I need to export my iWeb site to a local folder on my Mac, then transfer those files to the computer that has access to the server.
I tried this earlier today with the tech in charge of the system and we had trouble getting the files uploaded.
I don't get any error messages, the new site simply doesn't show up.
Can anyone offer any help here? I know that iWeb users have had problems uploading to Windows servers, but If you know of specific work-arounds to the problems encountered, please let me know.
Thank you in advance. Any and all help is appreciated!

What ftp programme are you using to upload the site?
Also, where are the files being placed on the server - if they are not in the root folder on the server then they might not show up - (root folder could be anything from "public_html", "www", or "htdocs". This differs on all servers).
Also, when you published the site from iWeb to a local folder did you see all the files that iWeb produces - did you see firstly the Site folder, the separate index file? If you did, did you transfer this folder and file to the computer in question?
When you uploaded the site did you upload the whole site folder? If so, then you also need to upload the separate index file so that it points into the site folder - this needs to sit outside the site folder itself so that it points to the index file in the site folder.
If you don't want to upload like this, then what you can do is simply upload the contents of the site folder instead of the whole folder itself and place all the contents of the site folder - that being all the html file and the resultant css folders for each page to the server instead.

How can I access file on a non-booting SSD with terminal?

I have a new MacBook air that hangs on boot-up. I can restore from a Time Machine back up, but it is a day old and I would like to recover work I did today off the hard drive before restoring, if possible. Apple support tells me that this should be possible using Terminal, but was not able/allowed to tell me how to do this and referred me to the communities. As usual, timing is miserable as I leave on a 3-week business trip in a few hours and need my laptop and files. Can anyone help me to do this?
Many thanks!

First, you need to be able to boot from the Recovery HD:
Boot Using Command+R keys:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
"COMMAND" and the "R" keys together.
3. Release the keys when the Utilities Menu appears.
Once at the Utilities Menu select Terminal from the Utilities menu in the screen's menubar. Now, you need to know where these new files are located. You move to any location using the 'cd' command such as cd /Users/user_name/Documents, then press RETURN. Replace user_name with your actual username. Next you need to do a directory listing to see if your files are in that location, Documents. Use ls -al to do a directory listing of the files and folders in Documents. If you find your new files there, then connect an external drive or flash drive. You will need to know the name you have assigned to this drive. It needs to be already formatted. Copy your files using cp /Documents/filename /Volumes/volname/filename. Replace volname and filename with those that apply. Press RETURN.
Or take it to your local Apple Store and see if they can do the chore for you.
