How do I download documents/files from a memory stick onto my MacBook Pro into organised folders

How do I download documents/files from a memory stick on to my MacBook Pro and organise in to Folders?

Hi RockingRon,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The Finder application on your Mac is what you need to organize and manage files.  The link below will explain how to use it.  See item #8 - your memory stick will appear in the Devices section of the Sidebar on the left.

Organizing files and folders
If you want to add more folders to set up an organizational scheme, here's how to create a new folder:
Make the Finder active (click the desktop, click inside any Finder window, or click the Finder icon in the Dock).
From the File menu, choose New Folder; a new "untitled folder" icon appears in the active Finder window.
Name your folder by simply typing a name in the highlighted text box next to the folder icon.
Or, you can simply press the Shift-Command-N key combination.
To organize your files and folders, drag any file, folder, or application that you want into your new folder, or drag the folder into any other folder to establish an organized hierarchy.
Cheers,
- Judy

  • How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

    How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

    If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

    How do I move a file from one memory stick to another using mac pro? copy paste doesnt work

    Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

  • How can I transfer document files from my mac classic to my macbook?

    I have a floppy drive on my old mac classic and cd drive on my macbook.  Is there some way to connect the two and transfer files directly?

    A Macintosh Classic (http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198) has a SCSI hard drive. Even though the hard drive can be removed and placed in an external SCSI enclosure, it is not going to be easy to find a way of connecting it to a modern Mac. That would normally require a USB-to-SCSI adapter, which may or may not be supported under the latest operating system versions.
    The easiest method of transferring files from a Macintosh Classic may be via an external USB floppy drive connected to the modern Mac. 1.44 MB Mac-formatted floppy disks can be used for such transfers (not 800K).
    A SCSI Zip (100) drive could in principle be connected to the SCSI port of the Macintosh Classic. The Zip disk could then be moved to a USB Zip (100) drive connected to a modern computer.
    The Macintosh Classic does not have built-in Ethernet, nor a slot for an Ethernet card (certain other "classic" Macintosh computers do have the ability to hold an Ethernet card). There are some external solutions (such as SCSI-to-Ethernet adapters), but with limitations. For a networking overview, the http://www.applefool.com/se30/ web page could perhaps be of interest.
    It is also possible to arrange a null-modem connection between a Macintosh Classic and a modern computer, providing that a USB-to-serial adapter is attached to the latter (appropriate terminal emulation programs are needed on both sides).

  • How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2?

    How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2? I can open the GarageBand Documents folder through iTunes while the iPad is sync'd but I can't seem to "add..." any of my old .band folders to the iPad to be able to view those music projects. When I tried I could only sync individual data files contained in the .band folders over to the iPad and there was no way to organize them into .band project folders. What can I do here to get these GarageBand projects onto my iPad for further use?

    This is not currently possible. You can transfer an iPad project to the Mac, and transfer songs/loops from the Mac to iPad, but not GB files from Mac to iPad.

    You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.

    I transferred my files from a G4 to a new macbook pro, but I can't access my old songs in itunes. I clicked on library in itunes and get the mac page to access mp3 and acc files but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    They maybe corrupt, try transferring again from the g4. If iTunes is giving you an error then you need to authorize your computer with the same iTunes account as previously. Also, you could try exporting your iTunes library via iTunes on the g4.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean to back them up, just connect the device to iTunes and sync.
    If you mean to use, you can't, those apps will only run on a mobile device.
