How do i download files from a usb to a mackbook

i have files from an old computer to a macbook that i want to transfer through my usb drive. ive plugged it into both ports and have had no notifications regarding the drive

for the mac to be able to read and write to it must be in FAT32 format.
also make sure you check the finder/preferences and make sure you have it selected to show external drives on the desktop and the finder sidebar.
once the drive shows up you should be able to drag and drop info to and from the USB as long as it's in the proper format.

  • I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

    hi all, i've just switched to apple after many years using MS OS!  I'm now using iMac desktop 21.5" with 2.9GHz processor and latest Yosemite software.
    How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac?  cheers, linley94

    Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.

    how to move downloaded files from download folder to other relevant folder or how to download files in relevant folders other than download folder

    Just drag the file from the Download folder to the folder of your choice in Finder. If you are using Safari you can designate a new default download destination in Safari>Preferences>General tab, 'Save Downloads to...'. Other browsers should have a similar option in their preferences.

  • How can i download file from a pageflow portlet in Webloigc Portal?

    How can i download file from a portlet in Webloigc Portal?
    My Question is, when i download files used codes in a pageflow listed below,
    it didn't work. but in non-portal environments, it worked well.
    How can I download a file from a portlets in portal??
    Thx in advanced.
    this.getResponse().setContentType ( "application/ms-excel" ) ;
    this.getResponse().setHeader ( "Content-Disposition" ,"attachment;filename="
    +new String("Excel.xls".getBytes(),"iso-8859-1")) ;
    sth.write(this.getResponse().getOutputStream());

    i always use an old fashioned method when i have to do this, i create a new jsp that contains a scriptlet that writes to the ServletOutputStream.
    <i>outputWriter.jsp</i>
    // define your own class to get file here, otherwiser use netui-data:callControl tag
    <code><pre>
    File file = FileControl.getFile(fileName);
    String fileName = (String) request.getParameter("fileName");
    response.setContentType(file.getContentType());
    ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
    InputStream is = file.getInputStream();
    for(int i = 0; (i = is.read()) != -1;)
    sos.write(i);
    sos.close();
    </pre>
    </code>
    i then call this jsp from the jsp to which i forward in my action using a simple url rewrite with file name on the url.

  • How do I download files from a digital recorder?

    How do I download files from a digital recorder?  I downloaded the software from Olympus online, but can't figure out how to bring it all together.

    It will probably help if you post the model number of the recorder so people know exactly what you're working with. Otherwise it's difficult to guess what might be of help.

  • How can I download files from my PC to my new I-Pad? Mainly PDF files. The manual doesn't make sense to me...

    I have read the manual on how to transfer a file from a computer to my I-Pad. It says in I-Tunes, go to devices Apps pane...
    I open the I-Tunes App and can not find anything referencing an Apps pane.
    What am I missing?

    You connect your device to your comptuer and open iTunes. Once it 'sees' the ipad, you can click on the name of your device and then you should see the tabs. In the Apps tab is your interface to remove apps, also to use the file transfer protocol - if your app supports that - to move files from your computer to your iPad. You can also use this interface to move the app icons from menu page to menu page on your device.
    First, to use that apps tab, you'll need an app that'll read PDF files.
    The file structure on an iPad is different than that from a computer or Mac. There is no general 'overall' file manager. Every file on your iPad needs to be associated with an app. So to read PDF files, you'll first need to install an app. iBooks will read PDF files. as will ReaddleDocs. I also see goodreader recommended a lot. So just search for PDF reader and find one that looks good to you.
    Install the app. After the app is installed, you can go to the apps tab and move files onto your device.

  • How do I reinstall files from a USB device to my computer,with Windows 7 on an HP G62-350 notebook?

    I backed up my files onto a USB flash drive before using system restore to restore back to factory settings. I now want to reinstall files from the USB storage device.

    There should be an .EXE file on the flash drive, probably Restore.exe. Click it to run and it will extract the files to a folder on the laptop.

  • How to save downloaded files from safari for offline use?

    Need help how to save downloaded PDF or images from Safari for offline use. On Mac or PC, we "save as" the files. How do you do it on safari on iPhone?

    You can't detach email attachments as separate files, though you can view supported formats as attachments. If you're viewing webmail with Safari, the attachments aren't saved on the iPhone.
    Apple hasn't made any announcements about new feature for the iPhone and rarely does. The other iPhone users in this user-to-user forum have no access to unannounced Apple plans, and speculation about them is prohibited by the forum Terms of Use.
    If you want to make a suggestion to Apple, post it on the iPhone Feedback page:
