How do I move files onto a G4 with OSX 10.3.9?

Brethren,
I just gave my G4 Quicksilver to my fiancee and she is having trouble moving her laptop files onto it. She has a bunch of MP3's (songs you'd puke if you had to listen to) and jpegs (billions of them) but no streamlined way of moving the data...since the G4 Quicksilver doesn't have Migration Assistant. So, to summarize:
*origin computer: iBook G4 OSX 10.4.11*
*destination computer: G4 Quicksilver OSX 10.3.9*
I'm hesitant to shell out $116 for the Leopard upgrade but *is there any other way to move the data from laptop to desktop?*
Shank

Connect the computers with a FireWire cable, start up the iBook with the T key held down, and move the files over manually.

  • How to get movie files on my iPad with out a computer

    Can you please let me know if there is any way that I can put my movie files onto my iPad 2 with out having a lap top or a computer with me when I head order sea's. Please email the response to my [email protected] address. I am trying to find a way that I can add my movie files onto my iPad when I do not have access to a computer but I have access to the Internet.
    THanks

    Where are these movie files now? You can't copy DVD's directly onto it, so you'll need some kind of computer to access them to get them on the iPad.
    If you can get them into a cloud storage app such as Dropbox, you can then view them on your iPad. 

  • How to burn movie files onto a disc for others to use not just watch?

    Hi! I used my video camera to record my sister's wedding ceremony and other little clips throughout the day. I want to give her those files to use however she wants. I don't want to edit them or give them to her as a watchable DVD.
    I want to be able to burn them onto a DVD-R and then she can upload them onto her computer and edit/manipulate them as she pleases.
    Problem is, the ceremony video alone is 9.28 GB! How can I get her these files? Thanks!

    Not if any single file is 4GB or larger; this is the size limit for FAT32 drives. The OP stated that one file was 9GB.
    Good point - I've kept a small, portable drive formated with FAT32 to transfer an occasional small file to my PC friends.
    Mac OS X 10.6.6 can read and write exFAT
    Since not all my systems use Snow Leopard, exFAT isn't yet an option for me.

  • How do I upload files onto Pages on my iPad?

    How do I upload files onto pages on my iPad?

    You can email them to yourself and then open them in Pages by using the "open in" option in the mail app when you are viewing the attachment, you can use DropBox, or you can use iOS file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on your iPad's name on the left side of iTunes under  "Devices" in order to select it. Click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right. Find the Pages App in the list of File Sharing apps under the main list of apps and click on it. Then drag the files from your desktop that you want to move into the document sharing window on the right - next to the the Pages app. You can also use the Add button and navigate to the documents that way to select them. Sync your iPad if you choose to do so and then eject it when the sync completes.
    Launch the Pages app and then click on the + in the upper left corner to add a document. Select - Copy from iTunes and a window will pop up with a list of all of the documents that you dragged into the window on the computer when the iPad was connected to iTunes. Select the document from there.
    This article explains if for you as well.

  • How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

    How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks

    welcome argardner to the  boards..
    you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
    spend some time here:

    the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..

  • How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    How do I move files from my iMac to my Airport without getting 'AirPort can not be modified' message. File sharing is enabled and I'm not getting asked for a password. Thanks

    What OS are you running.. this is usually only a problem in Mavericks.
    If so I recommend you mount the hard disk manually..
    Use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in the IP address if static.. eg
    AFP://10.0.1.1
    Or the name.. but you will have issues unless the name is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. if you are using bad names.. fix it by a full factory reset in airport utility and give it all names that comply to the above.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname.local Where TCname is replaced with the actual name.
    You will be asked for the password the first time which is public unless you changed it.. please remember to save this in the keychain.
    Copy files then to a new directory you create on the TC.. do not place files inside the TM sparsebundle. Nor directly under the main directory.

  • How can I move files from FileAppPro to open in Adobe ?

    How can I move files in FileAppPro to Adobe to open?

    You will need to use the "Open In" functionality that is provided by FileAppPro. It appears that to do this, you do a "Long Press" on the file in their file list.

  • How do i move files from pc to icloud?

    I have 2 questions, first of all how do I move files from my PC to icloud?  Secondly how do I access icloud from my PC so I can view and grab files in case I need them?  I have about 7 GB of photos and videos from my iphone4 that I want to move to icloud and I just bought 100GB of icloud storage so I can store stuff on the cloud.  I am sorry for the newbie question.

    What is it then? How and what exactly do i use it for? My i pad says there is not enough storage available so i have purchased more in i cloud. I now want to save some TV programmes and films to i cloud to free up some space but don't know how to... When you are told there is not enough space to download you are prompted to go to settings and to purchase more storage - so it is not unreasonable to assume that this will solve the problem - or am I missing something here? Or is this just a way for apple to get money out of me?
    If this is not what it is meant for then what is it meant for? Is it just space to back up files to? If so then surely what i need is stored there - so i can delete the TV programmes from my i pad and grab them from i cloud later?
    Am rather perplexed...

  • Just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. transferred data from my old macbook over n it created another user name. that's actually good--xcept for music, which i want on my new acct. How do i move files from my "old comp" acct to my new one?

    i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

    That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

    In what file type and compression format did you download the YouTube content? I.e., to avoid such issues, you would normally download the source files as content that is natively compatible with your target player or convert incompatible file type/compression format combinations to files that are compatible with your targeted media player.

  • How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
    I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's  new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.
