How Can I Transfer Files From One Computer To Another

I was wondering if it is possible to connect two computers by an ethernet cable and share files between them. I have a wireless router but I don't want to set up a network and I am only going to use this once to put some iTunes songs on my laptop.

Yes. Look in your Window Help for "file sharing", or search the web for "Windows XP file sharing" and you'll find information and instructions. You'll probably need a crossover Ethernet cable to get your two systems to communicate.

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can i transfer apps from one computer to another?

My i-pod touch was on one computer and i would like to change my apps from that computer to another.

The simplest solution is to copy the iTunes folder from the other computer to the new one. This will transfer everything including music, apps, etc. The folder is /Home/Music/iTunes/.

How can I transfer files from one user to another user?

I have a Macbook Air with 10.9.5.
I have two admin users. I want to transfer all the files from User A to User B's profile so that I can get rid of User A and just use User B from now on. So far I can access the files if I change sharing permissions but the files are not under the root User B's folder still.   Any ideas on how to do this? I also have greyed out folders when I created User B in the root directory.
Root folder /UserA/ includes all the usual folder links like desktop, documents, etc, including some created one for example "myoldphotos".   When i created UserB/ it has all the desktop, documents, etc folders (but with nothing in them since it's new) but also the myoldphotos folder, except it's greyed out and I can't do anything with it at all or open it or anything. it's just there?

Thank you, that worked to transfer files. After I move it into my normal home folder, can I delete it from the Shared folder?
Also if anyone has any ideas on the greyed out folders I would be thankful. For example I moved the 'myoldphotos' folder from users/UserA to users/Shared then from there to users/UserB and it worked. HOWEVER, the greyed out mysterious folder is still there and i can't do anything about it. It also affected my new copied folder, changing the name from myoldphotos to "myoldphotos 2" like as if there IS a folder there with the same name already.   I can't click on the greyed out folder to open it or anything.

How can I transfer files from one person to another using iClouds?

Good day to everyone. Prior to migrating to iCloud I enjoyed the use of iDisk that allowed me to perform the file share service with ease. I cannot find my way to doing the same with iCloud, can anyone help me?

DropBox is good: my personal preference would be for Sugarsync as you can sync any number of nominated folders instead of being limited to a specific DropBox folder. There are more details of both in the page I linked to.
I'll second Roger's recommendation for SugarSync, more flexibility, wider range of supported devices and more free storage than DropBox.

How can I transfer Photoshop from one computer to another?

I purchased a Wacom tablet about two years ago and it came with a disc that held the drivers for the tablet and a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements. Obviously I cant just put the CD in my new laptop and install Photoshop onto my new laptop while the program is still loaded on my other computer but I don't think uninstalling it on my old computer would do the trick either. Any help would be great, thanks.

I don't know for sure what you mean by a "pin" but if you mean the serial number, you can't find your serial number that way. There are more digits than show in the program itself. If you registered it on the other computer you can find it by logging into your adobe store account, but usually bundled versions have the serial number on the paper sleeve for the disc. If it's not in either of those places you will need to contact wacom or whoever, since serial numbers for bundles are handled through whoever distributed the bundled product.

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.

Hi, I activated my CS6 in 2012 under my student licence and still using it. I've heard that you can't run CS6 on multiple computers. How do I transfer it from one computer to another as I am switching computers?

Hi,
first, I'm not Adobe's "slave" as you might to accuse me. Most of the posters here are users like me.
I only can repeat that what I found in Adobe's help sites, as I wrote above. You are free to figure out the "real" truth and - the best would be - you may contact Adobe directly, here are - I'm sure you know them - the links I would use: http://helpx.adobe.com/support.html and http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html.

Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

How do I transfer iTunes from one computer to another?

This really depends on how technical you want to get, and how much of the library data you want to retain. First, there is getting the actual song files over to your new computer. If both computers are on the same network and are on iTunes 9, you can use home sharing to transfer the song files to your new computer.
Once the files are transferred, now you have to get all of the metadata transferred, like Playlists and Song Ratings. There is a method for doing this that involves editing your Library.xml file to transfer Playlists, Playcounts, etc..
If all you want to transfer is your Playlists and song files, there are programs that will back up your playlists so you can transfer them to a new computer, but if you're able to do the above XML edits (which are pretty simple), that is preferred (and cheaper).
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.
