How can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive?

HHow can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive? Thanks.

Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

Are these photos you took with your old iPhone? If so, import them to your computer (as they should have been in the first place). Once on your computer, synch them to your new iPhone.

How do I transfer everything from my 2006 macbook pro to an external hard drive?

I am selling my Macbook Pro 2006 to upgrade.   I want to clear all info off my computer. First, I want to move all info to an external hard drive. Is this possible? I recall that there is a way to move info form mac to mac by hitting alt A? Would this work for tranfer to the external drive?

No, here's what you want to do:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
This process will first erase the external drive. The result is a bootable backup on the external drive.

How do I move files from a broken Mac Book to an external hard drive

I have a broken MacBook pro, the hard drive failed and I want to move the files onto an external hard drive. I know I can transfer the files onto the external hard drive by running the software on the external hard drive and accessing the files on the Mac Book, but I dont know how to do it.

How can you do that if the drive has failed? You cannot access a failed drive unless it is actually still functioning.
To access from an external drive you need to install the operating system on the external drive then boot the computer from the external drive. You can then access the internal drive in order to copy files and folders from it to the external drive.

How can I transfer files from an old Mac onto my new one?

As outlined on this thread, I am trying to get data from my 1995 Performa 630 to my recently delivered MacBook Pro. All suggestions gratefully received.
Also, are ClarisWorks files instantly readable by modern office software, or do I need to save in RTF or some other format, first, on the older machine?

Hi...
Your new MacBookPro has Mac OS X Lion v10.7.x installed on an Intel processor and cannot open or read ClarisWorks files as such.
However, you may be able to reformat to RTF > AppleWorks: Document Recovery Techniques
The issue is going to be migrating files since you can't use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

How do I move pictures from my MacBook Pro to a USB/External Hard drive?

I can't figure out how to trasfer pictures and files from my MacBook Pro to my USB hard drive. Help please?

We could use a little more information, are you trying to move from a folder to an external drive? Or are you moving from IPhoto.
Either way should be able to select the pictures you want and drag them to your external.
If you have not used the drive before you may need to format the external drive with Disk Utility. You will need to choose a catalog method and what you choose should depend on if you plan to use a Mac only, or Mac and PC.

How can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

how can i transfer picture from old iPod to my computer

Are these pictures on your iPod no longer stored on your PC or in a backup somewhere? If so, you'll need the help of third party software to assist you with the task of extracting the photos from your iPod to your PC. Keep in mind that these synced photos are no longer in their full resolution, but instead are scaled down thumbnails of the original.
If you stored these photos in full resolution, see this article for instructions on copying them from your iPod back to your PC.
Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
Once the photos are on your PC again, you can configure them to sync to your iPhone.

How can I transfer pictures from my computer to my ipad?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
Hope that helps.

How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?
My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos
