How do I connect a Windows 8.1 tablet to a new Macbook Pro?

I am going to be purchasing a new Macbook Pro soon.  In addition, I'll probably purchase a new Windows 8.1 tablet to replace my aging iPad 2.  How can I connect the Windows tablet to the new Macbook Pro so I can add/remove data & movies?
Thanks to everyone for this help on this; I appreciate it.

Windows 8.1 is designed as a desktop operating system, so it doesn't need to be connected to any PC and you won't be able to connect it to your MacBook Pro because it hasn't got any port to do it.
Instead, what you can do is to install iTunes on the tablet and access to all your content purchased from the iTunes Store by using your Apple ID, or transfer your songs by using Home Sharing > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819

  • HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
    For a Virtual Machine:
    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
    For BootCamp:
    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

  • I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    I have recently had to fire my web designer who was using iWeb.  Now I'm trying to figure out how to get the site to open in iWeb on my new MacBook Pro.  Is there a way?

    Firstly iWeb CAN'T IMPORT any kind of published html code as it has no import facility.  You can however add html code, javascript and css by selecting the html snippet and placing it on your page the entering the code in here and clicking on Apply.  You DO NOT create a shape as you say - you use the html snippet and place your code in there.
    There are not really a lot of ways in which you can write code - if you want to enter small amounts of code, then you would use an ordinary text editor to do this such as Text Edit on a Mac or Text Wrangler.  If you want to add code to iWeb like this, then you would either use the html snippet method in iWeb itself or you would have to publish the site to a local folder from iWeb and open the relevant html page with a text editor and add the additional code in this way and then publish.  However, if he decided to add the code with a text editor, then you would have to upload the pages directly to the server using an ftp client - if you try to upload the site directly from iWeb, all the extra code will be overwritten.
    As for checking whether the site was created using iWeb, all you need do is view the site in Safari and then click on View and then select View Source Code and it will tell you.
    Even thoough extra code was added to the site and he might well have done this by publishing to a local folder and adding the code with a text editor, he should still have the domain file for the site too.
    Ask again.  I'm sure that for adding quick code, most would not want to use programmes such as Dreamweaver, but a simple text editor will suffice.  As OT already said, if he claims that he does not have the domain.sites file, then try Flux 4 which is a web design programme and has full import facilities.  At least this way, if he just gives you the published version of the site, you have some way of opening it.
    You can download a free trial of Flux 4 and you can also purchase the full version from the Mac App Store if you decide you like it.

  • How do I sync my iPhone and its contents to my new MacBook Pro?

    Hi all.
    I've just bought my first MacBook Pro and I'm very happy with it.
    I'm just trying to set up iTunes with my iPhone which I've had over a year.
    The problem is that iTunes isn't detecting all of the apps currently on my iPhone; only the recent purchases/downloads I've made using the new MacBook Pro.
    I assume this is something to do with the fact that my iPhone is probably still 'synced' with my old Dell which is now dead.
    How do I make it so that my new MacBook Pro and iPhone talk to one another without losing all of my data/settings/layout etc of everything on my iPhone?
    Thanks in advance!

    By design, the iPhone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book, iCal) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

  • How do I install software from a disc on to the new Macbook Pro?

  • How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?
