How do i configure a windows pc to transfer files to my mac?

using a router which is connected to both laptops by ethernet chord, how do i configure my pc so that my mac can detect it and i can move all my files over through the network ? help !
MacBook 1,1 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First you have to share the folder or hard drive you want to share on pc side, and from your mac search (thru finder > network) for that folder name (it might ask you password if you set one on the pc side), and if you managed to go there, the rest of the process are just drag and drop.
Good Luck.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

How transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?

In answer to the question:
how transfer file from garageband mac to garageband iPad?
Transfering a file from Garageband on the Mac to Garageband in the iPad is not just a case of putting it in iTunes as a number of people seem to state. The XML package which is the Garageband Song File has to be changed before a Garageband Mac file will be downloadable to the iPad. This can be done manually but is time consuming and tedious. After doing it manually a few times and making mistakes, I have created an Applescript Application to do this called:
Garageband Mac to iPad Oneshot Converter
I have made a video of the converter in use which I have post on my Youtube ' fixed1t ' pages. This Application and the video solves the question above and shows the song file on the mac being moved and running on the iPad.

There is a link on the Description of the fixed1t youtube video to enable viewers to download a trial version. The link will also allow viewers to purchase a copy once you have tried i, but you are under no obligation to purchase and the trial is completely free. I am selling it for £5 UK and I will receive over £4 of this should you decide to purchase using the PayPal link.
Please try it out and give me feedback, even if you don't wish to buy it.
Thanks Malcolm (aka fixed1t)
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

How do I configure Firefox window?

I need to print a web page. I'm told to go to top of Firefox window, click on File menu and select print, but I can't find a file menu at the top. How do I configure the FF window so I can see the File menu?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

In Firefox 3.6 on Windows you can hide the menu bar via "View > Toolbars" or via the right click context menu on a toolbar.
Press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the menu bar.
Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the menu bar or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide.

How do I configure my Windows clients to talk to Mac OS X Server 10.6

We had a MacAuthority technician install the server software for us, but he did not configure the Windows clients to talk to the server. I have tried several approaches, all evidently wrong. Everything I have read says the Windows clients need "open directory" passwords, and he has set them up as "shadow passwords". Heaven only knows what else is messed up. Please someone step me through this -- I will set them up as new users and see if I can make it work that way.

What sort of a resulting configuration or environment are you seeking?
If you're looking to have your Windows clients access storage on your OS X Server and to not authenticate with your OS X Server system, then you can dispense with some of the configuration steps.
However if you're looking to have the same login everywhere (Windows and OS X), then requirements become somewhat more complex.
And which version(s) of Windows? Particularly if you have Windows 7, the options and requirements differ.
It's less common to have Windows configured to authenticate to OS X; it's more common to use Windows Server and its Activie Directory, either in isolation or in combination with an OS X Server in what's called a "magic triangle" configuration. Alternatively (if you do want to set up this direct authentication of Windows and OS X Server and Open Directory), then see Mac OS X Server: Alternatives to Windows NT 4.0 domain control (PDC) technology (HT4945); that uses pGina.
And before you proceed here with any work involving authentication, delegation or related tasks, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities folder, and issue the following non-destructive command to verify your DNS is correct:
sudo changeip -checkhostname
You'll need to specify an administrative password when prompted. Proper local DNS services are central to getting any of this stuff to work, and this command will (non-destructively) indicate if DNS is correct or if there are issues or changes needed.
The OS X Server 10.6 documentation is available from Apple, and that can help provide you with some background in this topic. The 10.6 intro, 10.6 User Management, and 10.6 Open Directory would likely be worth downloading and skimming. Probably also 10.6 File Services, if that's part of your goal. (Running a server isn't quite as no-IT-required as might be hoped, unfortunately. And I don't know of a short cookbook for this stuff; the steps and configurations can vary, depending on your local requirements - apologies on pointing to the docs here.)

How do i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc

I have several files on my mac that i would also like to load onto my windows pc. How do I convert them?

What types of files are they that they would need 'conversion'? If the devices are on the same network, you can simply set one of them up to share and copy the files. If they're of a standard format, they likely don't need to be converted.

How do I read the Windows 7 backup log file (.etl).

I tried Windows 7 backup yesterday and it took over 5 hours to complete. When it did it used about 135GB of my backup drive which is okay, but when I looked a the backup drive, I found a couple directories that backup created. One had over 2000 .zip files in it. Is this how Custom backup works?
I also had another folder with teh Image backup data.
I decided I didn't like it so I deleted the backups, but now I would like to look at the log file. How do I do this? When I navigate to C:\Windows\Logs\WindowsBackup I see a WindowsBackup.2.etl file. When I double click on this I get the popup saying Windows 7 does not know what to do with this file. There is no way to look at the log from the Windows Backup window that I can see either.
A Google search did not turn up anything useful.Rich

Hi Ztruker,
Windows backup creates .zip files to store file backups and a VHD format to store image backups. Is there a reason why you are bothered with this format? To browse through the contents of the file backups, you could launch the restore files dialog and browse/search. To navigate through the image backup, you can mount the VHD through Disk Management. This is of course, if you have a backup. Unfortunately, backup does not create a user-readable log. The etl files are meant for product tracing in the case of failures and are for Microrosft use. Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How do i transfer files from one mac to another?

how do i transfer my files from one mac to another mac?

I normally use an External Hard Drive or Flash Drive for moving files from both Mac's and PC's, but if you want to move from an old Mac to a new one see > How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

If i use a usb flash drive which is both os and windows compatible can i transfer files from my mac to a windows pc using the same usb flash drive?

if i use a usb flash drive which is mac os and windows compatible can i use it to copy files from the mac to a windows machine. i have to do some training abroad and wnat to take the files on a usb from the mac but they will only have a windows operating system available to me.

Generally, it's not the flash drive that makes it compatible, but the formatting used on it. In Disk Utility on a Mac, the format is called MS-DOS (FAT). In Windows, I believe it is called FAT32.
A USB flash drive formatted that way should be readable and writable on both Mac OS X and Windows. But you may want to try a "trial run" before relying on it for the trip.

How do i transfer files from old mac with frozen screen?

My PowerBook G4 just froze. I bought a new MacBook Pro. How do I transfer files from my old mac to my new one. I have firewire cable with firewire adapter for the new Mac. And the old mac has a disk that won't eject.

Turn your PowerBook off. Connect both computers with the firewire cable and then start your PB in Target Disk Mode (press the T and the power button at the same time, and keep the T pressed until your PB's hard drive mounts on the MBP's desktop. Then, you can use Migration Assistant, or good ol' drag and drop, your call.
If your PowerBook cannot enter Target Disk Mode, then you have bigger problems...;-)

Can't transfer files from a mac external hard drive to a windows hard drive

Today I went to a friends house to try and take some of his music from his external hard drive. So we plugged his mac converted hard drive into my computer, which is operating on windows 7, and my computer could not read that anything was there. So we plugged in my windows converted into his Macbook Pro, and his computer was able to read it, but for some reason, we could not transfer files from his hard drive to mine.
I was just wondering if I am doing something wrong, or if it could be because I am using a hard drive that I bought in China, and any information would be great.

NTFS is readable in Mac OS, but can't be written to.
HFS+ is not readable in Windows, though Apple now has a (somewhat problematic and buggy at times) service to allow Windows on mac to read HFS+ to make it easier and more convenient.
There are drivers (free and commercial) to add the ability to read and write to each.

Can I use Windows based DW cs4 files on a Mac with an Apple based DW program?

Have been using DW cs4 with Windows Vista. Buying a Mac soon and am wondering if I can use those files on a Mac with an Apple version on DW?. Thank you

I would just save a copy of the local site folder and the .ste on a thumb drive and copy them over to the new machine.
You don't have to export it directly onto the thumb/flash drive or anything. Actually, you don't "need" the .ste at all.
The only reason to make the .ste file is to transfer over your site-specific settings (like FTP credentials) without having to re-type/re-select everything, it doesn't copy any actual site files over.
Once the site files are copied over, you can just go to Site > New to set up the new site. Rather than going to a new blank folder, you would set the Local Root Directory to the newly copied site folder.

How do I transfer files from old Mac to Mac Air using ethernet to usb connection?

How can I transfer files from my previous Mac to new Mac Air using an ethernet cable from the Old Mac, connecting to the Mac Air with an Ethernet-to-USB adaptor?

Yes, you can use the usb ethernet adapter.
If you haven't started the new Air up yet, you can use the Setup Assistant that appears the first time you turn it on.
Otherwise, you can just use the Migration Assistant utility.
Cheers!
