How can I transfer files between a PC and a Mac NOT on the same network?

I have an iCloud account, a Time Capsule and a Seagate Free Agent portable hard drive. Which ways can I transfer files (any or all three?) and how? Here's my dilemma: I'm a graphic designer and I work on a PC at my office. At home I use my MacBook Pro...same programs, save files. However, I had trouble earlier saving my new documents onto the Free Agent from my MacBook Pro as the Free Agent was Read Only and original files on it were from the PC. The PC is not on my Time Capsule network and not accessible or even close to my MacBook. I simply want to be able to save the files I updated/changed on my Mac to somewhere that I can access them later from that PC...right now they are saved to my Documents folder. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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

How can I transfer file between PC and iPhone?

iPhone does not show in MyComputer after connected to PC. How can I transfer file to/from PC?

iPhone does not support disk mode, so doesn't show in My Computer. You can transfer files through iTunes (Apps tab in the main window) if you have an app on the iPad that works with that kind of file. If you don't have an app, GoodReader is a good choice because it handles many different file types.
Alternatively, you could user Dropbox (cloud storage) which will allow you to share files on your PC with the iPad.

You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

I've benn a mac user for many years. My job provides iPhones and I'm trying to use my wifes old iPad to carry work files and email. My ipad won't sync like the phone and mac are.

My second question is the Exchange account I use dosen't work on the iPad. I have set it up with all same settings I use on th mac and the phone, but with
ne luck. I get a message stating my password is incorect.
Any help would be great.

The phone is a iPhone 4 (?) running os 6.0.1
The ipad is iPad running 5.1.1

You can't fit 300 GB on an iPad.
Are you sure they are 300 GB, I've never seen a file of that size, what type of files are they.

How can I migrate file shares & permissions from one volume to another on the same server?

I am replacing a storage array and as part of that process, I need to move files/folders and Shares/permissions from one Volume to another volume within the same server.
The server is Windows 2003 file server. The file transfers are not a problem, moving all 40 shares with permissions etc. is my main concern because in order to maintain everything I need to change the drive letter of the new volume to match the old
one so that links to various resources throughout the network do not break.

Hi,
If you want to copy files/folders from one Volume to another volume within the same server, you could use the File Server Migration Tool (FSMT) or Robocopy to accomplish your goals. The tool can move all of the files from the shares on your original volume
to the new volume.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the articles below:
File Server Migration Toolkit
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2006.10.utilityspotlight.aspx
The File Server Migration Toolkit (FSMT) is a free download available at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=10268
Robocopy
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145.aspx
FSMT and Robocopy will not copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:

How can I transfer files from my pc to my mac

How can I move the files back and forth
Or just from pc to mac

It won't work. When the Mac is booted into FireWire target disk mode, it acts as an external FireWire drive. The drive is formatted as HFS+ which the PC can't read.

How do I transfer files between my iMac and my MacBook Pro using an ethernet cable (not with AirPort)?

Even though I connect my computers with an ethernet cable the files are still being transferred wirelessly. I can tell because the transfers (usually around 4GB) take a few minutes with AirPort off, but 30 minutes to an hour with AirPort on. I want to transer the files and still have AirPort on since I work on both computers at the same time and want to maintain the connection to the internet.

Be sure Ethernet is listed first in System Prefs > Network.
If it isn't, click the "gear" icon and select Set Service Order.

How can I transfer files from my iPod to my Mac?

I lost a bunch of old podcasts from my Mac and they are no longer on iTunes. I do have them on my iPod but I don't want to connect it to my Mac and have it sync up and lose the tracks. Is there a way to upload or transfer files or songs from my iPod to my Mac?

Hi,
Can i sync my database both on my Macbook Pro and my Macbook? is it possible to work on both computers and share the same iCloud, iPhone, iPad etc?

@Zizooka : Your question is not very clear ... please re-phrase ... and iCloud is the concept where you share your data through ONLY one account on ALL your devices ...

Place the photos into iPhoto on your Mac. Then when syncing your iPhone using iTunes, clock on the "Photos" tab behind your iPhone's summary tab and make sure the sync instructions are set correctly.

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)? WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it. Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)? WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it. Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed. It says to backup files and restore. But how do I backup files? Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

You may drag & drop between external hds.
Should you run into trouble.
Take the exernal drive appart. Take out the harddrive. Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.
