How do I transfer my files from my external hard drive (all files coming from a PC) to my new macbook pro?

What sort of files? Are you looking to transfer an entire user account or some data files?

    What files are they? Is it a clone, a TM backup, or simply drag 'n drop?
    If it's the latter, simply drag them back. If something else, please post back with detailed info.

    How do I transfer document and photo files from an external hard drive formerly connected to my old PC into my new iMac computer?

    There are several different ways to move data from your old PC to your iMac, including Manually Migrating at > Switch 101: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac
    If you just want to move file's from your External HD, simply plug it into your iMac and drag your doc's to your Documents Folder and Import your photos into iPhoto.

  • How to migrate iTunes Library from an external hard drive to a new Mac Book Pro?

    How to migrate iTunes and iPhoto librarys from an external hard drive to a MacBook Pro?

    With iTunes:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the whole iTunes folder and all its subfolders and files intact to Home > Music on your computer. It will replace the one that may already be there and anything you have in it will be lost -- you could give the folder a different name just in case, and delete it yourself later.  Unplug the external and start iTunes.

  • How do I transfers files from an external hard drive to my to mac?

    I recently had my seagate hard drive replaced as it was faulty. Before I gave it in to be replaced, I made sure I backed up all my files and what not to an external hard drive. Now I have my iMac back I need to transfer all my files back onto my new hard drive. The problem is I have no idea how to do it!! :(
    If anyone out there can give a step by step guide as to how I can transfer it all it would be much appreciated!
    Cat :)

    So before you had the drive replace you attached the Toshiba and had TM do a backup.
    How are you looking at the TM backup on the Tosihba now? Are you using FInder ro th eTM interface. If you are using Finder try the TM interface.

  • I cannot transfer data from my external hard drive to my new mac

    I had to get a new hard drive put into my macbook pro because it was failing. So, I moved all my data onto an external hard drive so I would not lose anything. But now I cannot get iphoto or imovie back onto my computer. It says I cannot open it because it is a time machine back up. I don't want to have to purchase iPhoto and iMovie again just because I had to replace my hard drive.

    Copying the files directly from a Time Machine backup may be possible but I don't recommend it. Your new hard disk is essentially a new computer to Time Machine, and it will have problems understanding where to put the individual files. What you're trying to do is just not the right way to go about it.
    To restore from a Time Machine backup, boot Lion Recovery and select "Restore from Time Machine backup".

  • How do you transfer files from an internal hard drive in a broken Mac?

    My iMac G5 broke a while back, the power comes on but nothing comes on my screen and the fan goes into overtime. I don't mind not fixing it but I would like to take the files from my hard drive. How would I go about this?
    I've tried using a firewire cable but to no avail.

    all i can think of is to remove the HD from the Mac, put it in an external enclosure, and use data recovery software such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage to retrieve the data.
    good luck !

  • How do I transfer files from my external hard drive to my iMac?

    I thought it would be as simple as plugging in to the USB port!

    There are no popups on the Mac except for the drive window in some cases, and the Migration Assistant can't transfer data to an existing user account. As previously stated, drag the files you want to transfer over manually.
    The drive should appear in the desktop or the sidebar of a Finder window. If it doesn't, check the Finder's preferences.

  • How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    How do i Transfer Movies from my external hard drive to my ipad2?

    Another way.
    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.
