How can I transfer 2GB files from OS9 machine to OSX machine ??

So I need to transfer MPEG video files greater than 2GB in size from my encoding system to my file server. Encoding system cannot run OSX, so is currently running OS 9.2.2, but file server is running OS 10.4 (NOT OS Server, just regular OS). What is the best approach to this? FTP through network? Is there an utility that will take Apple Talk out of the picture?
Much Thanks to whomever can help!

If you have Ethernet cabling, you can use Apple File Sharing. In older Mac OS, the software is installed automatically when an Ethernet interface is detected at install time.
Although 10.4 and later are not willing to share using AppleTalk, 10.4 and later are certainly willing to share using IP, which has been available since AppleShare Chooser extension v 3.7 (readily useable in OS 7.5.3).
Starting from the older Mac, use the "Server IP Address" button that appears when AppleShare is selected in the Chooser, and enter the IP Address of the more modern Mac. \[If your older Mac is running OS 9 or uses ShareWay IP, you can start from either Mac]
A dialog appears requiring you to enter the Username and Password for the Mac whose files you will be accessing in order to share its Files or Folders. The items being shared are then mounted on the Desktop of the Mac originating the request as "Network Drives" and can be fully manipulated with the Finder.
This illustrated tutorial can be very helpful:

How can I transfer "Pages" files from my IPad to my Mac?

How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

HT2518 After using Migrate Assistant, I made several accounts for every attempt to migrate files from PC to Mac. How can I put all accounts together into one? How can I transfer the files from the other accounts to my primary account?

Okay, so I did the entire Migrate Assistant process to transfer all my files and what not to my MacBook. Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
How can I transfer my files from the other accounts to my primary account and delete the other accounts?

Problem is that I did it on seperate occasions and now I have several accounts.
If you had read carefully, Migration Assistant asks what you want to do in this event. That would have precluded the redundancy.
Part of the fundamental design of OS X is to separate user accounts so that one user can't interfere with another. It's not possible to directly merge an account with another, but you can copy whatever you need to the Shared folder - it is in your Users folder.
Log in to one account, prefereably a smaller one, and drag the files and folders into Shared. Log out, log into the account you want to be "primary" and drag the files from Shared into their appropriate locations. When you have copied everything you need delete the redundant account.
Do this for each of them.
Or, you can just run Migration Assistant again and follow the prompts that address the situation you described. It involves creating a secondary, temporary account from which you can administer the transfer. When it is complete you delete the temporary account(s).

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout?

How can I transfer my photobooks from iphoto 08 on osx 10.5.8 to iphoto 11 on macbook osx 10.8.1 without loosing layout? I prepared 3 books in iphoto 08 and wanted to order them yesterday. I got the message, that this version is not supported anymore. I also have a macbook osx 10.8.1. However I did not manage to transfer the books to it. What can I do? I really would not like to recreate the books from scratch in th new version.

You will have to convert your 08 library to iPhoto 11 by copying the library to your Macbook and opening it with iPhoto 11.
However, check to see if the theme you're using in 08 is available in 11. If it isn't you'll probably lose the book or be assigned to some other theme.
If the theme you've chosen isn't available in 11 find one that is available in both versions and convert to it in the 08 library before you move it to 11.

How can I transfer iPhoto files from one admin user to another on the same Mac?

i created a new admin user on my computer, so now my husband has one and so do i. how can i transfer our iphoto files from his admin user to mine as a shared file? i was able to do this with itunes easily but i am not able to do it with iphoto.

You want to share the Library?
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

How can I transfer video files from iPad to a flash drive

How can i transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

Hi,
Recently my harddrive crashed and i had to rebuild my computer. I retreived most of my files but i cannot find where my iweb files are located. Does anyone know where iweb saves files or how to retreive my domain files from the web (if at all possible)?
Thanks

Could there be other location for the iWeb files?
Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

How can I transfer a file from Lion to Windows 7

Hello everybody, I need to transfer a big file from mac Lion To windows 7. How can I do this task? thanks

why use itermediary?
Apple does have some limited HFS read only under Windows, or the Paragon HFS driver (9.x) works very well also.
Of course read/write to/from the same hard drive is slower than disk to disk, as your disk has to keep repositioning the head.
Large files and USB... boy I think I'd go for something more robust and reliable and faster, like USB3 or FW400 at minimum.

How can I transfer document files from my mac classic to my macbook?

I have a floppy drive on my old mac classic and cd drive on my macbook. Is there some way to connect the two and transfer files directly?

A Macintosh Classic (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198) has a SCSI hard drive. Even though the hard drive can be removed and placed in an external SCSI enclosure, it is not going to be easy to find a way of connecting it to a modern Mac. That would normally require a USB-to-SCSI adapter, which may or may not be supported under the latest operating system versions.
The easiest method of transferring files from a Macintosh Classic may be via an external USB floppy drive connected to the modern Mac. 1.44 MB Mac-formatted floppy disks can be used for such transfers (not 800K).
A SCSI Zip (100) drive could in principle be connected to the SCSI port of the Macintosh Classic. The Zip disk could then be moved to a USB Zip (100) drive connected to a modern computer.
The Macintosh Classic does not have built-in Ethernet, nor a slot for an Ethernet card (certain other "classic" Macintosh computers do have the ability to hold an Ethernet card). There are some external solutions (such as SCSI-to-Ethernet adapters), but with limitations. For a networking overview, the http://www.applefool.com/se30/ web page could perhaps be of interest.
It is also possible to arrange a null-modem connection between a Macintosh Classic and a modern computer, providing that a USB-to-serial adapter is attached to the latter (appropriate terminal emulation programs are needed on both sides).

How can I transfer mov files from my iphone4 to PC without corrupting them?

I transferred my photos and videos from my iphone4 to my PC to make more room on my phone. After deleting the files from my phone, I realized that the mov files are corrupted. The videos mostly show grey blotches with no sound. I have tried syncing the files from iTunes, tried transferring them with Nikon photo/video transfer software, Canon transfer software, and Corel photo transfer software. Nothing seems to work. I have the latest version of QuickTime [7.6.9 (1680.9)] running on Windows Vista.
Also, can anyone recommend software for recovering .mov files? There are a lot of them that are affected.
The jpgs transferred fine.
Thank you!

Yes, I have tried. All smaller videos and photos transfer fine. It is only with videos > 500 MB that get created on Windows with 0 (zero) size (the file name gets created on windows but with 0 Bytes).
Let me add that I do not see the "DCIM" option from Windows Explorer. I only see the folder under Scanner and Cameras.
Anything I need to do to see "DCIM"? I do see DCIM when I connect my iPhone 4 to the same computer, but not the iPAD.
Thanks
