How can i import my files from an Acer into my new iMac - easiest idiot proof solution pls

i bought an iMac, and would like to migrate all data from my old Acer aspire one over to the mac
i tried thru wireless ------ too dumb for it - or to bad step by step guides to do it
same for connecting the two by ethernet....
can someone guide a dummy thru this pls?

Do you have a USB flash drive or an external hard drive, if so then plug it in to your USB port on your Acer and copy your my documents folder to to the drive. After ejecting the drive insert it into the Mac and copy the files into your home folder. I would copy folder to folder from drive, for example; your documents folder files from Acer to Mac documents folder and so forth.

How can I import Quicken Files from a G4 to a new iMac.

I need to transfer my Quicken 2007 files from my G4 to my new iMac. My G4 is running OS 10.4 and Quicken Essentials for Mac requires 10.5 or above. My G4 cannot run 10.5. My iMac is running Lion and I've heard if I load Mac Essentials on my iMac, I won't be able to import the files from my G4. Anybody have any ideas?
I've been considering making a copy of my system and applications folders on an external firewire drive, then connecting it to my iMac. I thne plan to use the external drive as a startup disk and load Quicken essentials on the external drive. Then, once eveything is loaded, I was hoping I could copy the files and pull them over to my applications folder on my iMac. Does anybody know if that will work?

I'm in the same boat!!! Been a long Time Quicken user and they finally made the software almost un-useable. I have 2 intel laptops in the house and a G4. The intel systems are both running Lion had I known the quicken conversion software dosen't run on Lion I would have converted all my quicken backups (going back to 1997) before installing Lion.
To answer your question, what I have found out is convert all your files on Lepoard then update to lion. The conversion software that comes with Quicken Essentials will work on Lepoard. Thats how I converted mine. But last week I needed to go back to and old backup looking for some transactions and found the Lion issue. Had to boot up the G4 and load the old Quicken software to look at the backups.
Been really thinking of switching to another product.

How can I import the files from a SDXC card to my iMac?

When I connect my camcorder to my iMac, the iMac can't read the SDXC card (SanDisk SDXC Ultra 64Gb, 15MB/s).
The camcorder itself, ofcourse, supports the card.
Is anyone familiar with this problem?
I have the latest OS software (10.6.4), and my iMac 24" is an early 2009 model.
Thanks, in advance.

First, copy the card to a hard drive connected to your fcp workstation. I always back up all card based media at least 2 or three times. All hard drive will eventually fail. It's a question of when, not if.
I'm not familiar with this particular camera, but examine the contents of the copied files and see if you can find any .mov files. You can try importing these directly into fcp.
If you don't, you can try something like clipwrap

or
Magic Bullet Grinder
http://www.redgiantsoftware.com/
But, I'd really advise upgrading to at least fcp6 or ideally fcp7 if you can find a copy. HDV is a problematic format. Although you can certainly work with it and it's a fcp approved format, converting your media to prores would make your life much easier.

Can I import Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into a new iMac?

My hard drive recently crashed and unfortunately, I didn't have a full backup. Is it possible to import the Safari bookmarks from my iphone5 into my
"like new" iMac?

Configure the same iCloud account on each device and enable Safari syncing. This will sync boomarks, reading list items, and enable iCloud tabs.

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card to Final cut Pro 5.1.4

How can I import HDV-Files from a CF-Card (recorded with the Sony HVR Z 7E) to Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 – is this possible at all?
I managed to import the files to Premiere, but it was just a test. I am working at a very huge documentary project with Final cut Pro Version 5.1.4 thats why I would prefere not to change the program or the version.
Simply exporting from Premiere back to final cut is also very complicated.
Thanks for any ideas.

How can I import Raw files from a canon eos 6d?

How can I import RAW files from a Canon Eos 6D into aperture?

Doesn;t look like the 6d is supported yet. I'm surprised, thought it would have been in the latest update, 4.02.
In the meantime you can shot RAW+JPG and use the JPG's now and then switch to the RAW's once it is supported or else you an convert the RAWs to DNG using Adobe's converter and import the DNGs.
While I can't say for sure Canon cameras are usually supported fairly quickly so hopefully you won't have to much longer to wait.

And in the meantime let Apple now you want this see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Can't import .mov files from my camera into iPhoto

I am not able to import .mov files from my kodak camera into iPhoto. It says the file is not readable. Also, if there are any photos after the video file, those are said to be unreadable too, even if I select just the photots for import. I tried to import the .mov file with image capture as well, and that gave me an import error also. I can view the file fine on my camera and iPhoto and image capture both will give me the properties of the video file but will not import. I have imported .miv files before with no trouble. I have tried several different files with the same results. Even tried different memory cards. Not sure how to get this file on my computer or why there is a problem all of the sudden.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
What model of Kodak is it?
There is a discussion thread on this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11942367&#11942367
Try using a media card reader (sometimes built into printers) to see if that allows the import. Others seem to report having luck by importing the movies off the card using a different computer, deleting them, and then importing the pictures.
Hope that helps.

How can I import Master files from my iPhoto library to my Aperture lib?...

... That is knowing that I have already imported all my iPhoto library but I selected the option "in their current location" from the "store files" pop-up menu.
So right now, all my pictures are referenced images in Aperture but stored in their current locations on the iPhoto folder.
I simply want to get the masters back into Aperture.
How can I do that?
Thanks a lot for you help

There are some tutorials here
http://www.apple.com/aperture/tutorials/
one of which is specific to Aperture/iPhoto
Essentially though what you are wanting to do with your referenced master files is to
File/Consolidate Master/
Definitely worth having a read of the pro's and cons of managed vs referenced files.
RB maintains a great site with a wealth of ideas on workflows, worth having a erad of these.

How can I import AVCHD files from my hard drive?

- How can I work with .mts files from my Sony camera that I dragged from the camera to a folder on my computer. If I understand it well, if I import the files with a Log and Transfer, they will be converted to another format.
- do they lose quality with the Log and Transfer conversion?
I want to erase my sony camera hard disk but do not want to lose the original files, that is why I ask.

Hi -
In order to use the files from your camera easily (without 3rd party software) you need to not only drag the mts files, but the ENTIRE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE of the camera storage to your hard disk drive. Many people find it most convenient to use Disk Utility to make a disk image of the camera storage media, and keep the disk image on their hard disk, available for re-use at any time.
The additional folders that are present on the camera storage give necessary and valuable information to Final Cut as to how to "unpack" the extremely compressed video files. Without these files as guides and instructions, it becomes a much more difficult process.

How can I put these files from my dropbox into MS Word?

After using migration assistant, I had 2 user accounts set up by accident. I finally figured out how to move/share files from the cloned user account to my new account. Anyway, I moved all my music and pictures into itunes and iphoto, but now, how & where do I drag and drop my pdf, excel, & word files into Microsoft Office? I am a new apple user, converting from a PC. Here is a picture of the Drop Box. Thank you

Similar to a PC, you can open Word, Excel, etc., and use the File/Open command to navigate to any folder, including that drop box, to open files. Also similar to a PC, you can store Microsoft Office files in any folder inside your Documents folder, so you can simply drag your Office files out of the drop box and into whatever project folders you have created within your Documents folder, and then open them in Office from there.
You can also open any of these documents in Word or Excel by dragging them to the appropriate application icon if they are visible, or if you have added Word, Excel, etc. application icons to the Dock you can drag the documents there too. That last part is much like on a PC where you drag a document from any folder to an application icon in the Windows Taskbar.
As you can see there is actually very little difference in how this works between a PC and a Mac.

How can i sync my music from my iPod into a new computer because my old one is dead

I bought the macbook air and want to sync my music from my ipod into itunes. Of course its not letting me because it says if I want to sync it will erase everything. Is there anything I can do so I could keep all my music and still sync? I no longer have access to my old computer because it completely died on me.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to do this, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
