  • How do I share files between my iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro?

    I need to transfer files between my iPhone 5 and my MacBook Pro. The latter is running Mavericks. I have enabled AirDrop on both devices (I chose "AirDrop for Everyone" on my iPhone), but when I click the AirDrop file in Finder on my Mac, my iPhone doesn't appear. 
    Thoughts?

    Sorry; I've got Yosemite installed on my MacBook Pro, not Mavericks anymore.

  • How can I transfer file between PC and iPhone?

    iPhone does not show in MyComputer after connected to PC. How can I transfer file to/from PC?

    iPhone does not support disk mode, so doesn't show in My Computer. You can transfer files through iTunes (Apps tab in the main window) if you have an app on the iPad that works with that kind of file. If you don't have an app, GoodReader is a good choice because it handles many different file types.
    Alternatively, you could user Dropbox (cloud storage) which will allow you to share files on your PC with the iPad.

  • How can I transfer files to my ipad from my MacBook

    I can't figure out how to transfer files that aren't a part of iCloud to my iPad Air from my MacBook Pro.
    Any suggestions about how to do this?
    I can't even get my music to automatically sync either. Only about 20 songs out of 800 will sync and most of them are just legal downloads from soundcloud. Others were dropboxed files from friends so I don't know where most of them came from, but some of them are original works because I have a lot of friends who are music producers.
    I am mostly concerned about photos, music and videos that won't transfer.

    if I plug my ipad to my macbook nothing happens except it charges.  no screen prompt like I would expect.

  • How do i transfer files from old ipad to new ipad if it has already been activated as new?

    I purchased a new ipad and need to transfer files from my old ipad.  However, it has already been set up as new and all support suggestions I have found have been for choosing the restore option in the set-up stage.  How do I do it now that it has been activated?

    It depends on if you even have a backup. If you had a backup, I don't suppose that you would have to ask how to restore from it.
    Did you backup your old iPad? If you so, did you backup with iTunes or iCloud? This explains how to backup and how to restore from a backup, but once again, if you don't have that backup any longer, this will not work.

  • How can I transfer files between a PC and a Mac NOT on the same network?

    I have an iCloud account, a Time Capsule and a Seagate Free Agent portable hard drive. Which ways can I transfer files (any or all three?) and how?  Here's my dilemma: I'm a graphic designer and I work on a PC at my office. At home I use my MacBook Pro...same programs, save files. However, I had trouble earlier saving my new documents onto the Free Agent from my MacBook Pro as the Free Agent was Read Only and original files on it were from the PC. The PC is not on my Time Capsule network and not accessible or even close to my MacBook. I simply want to be able to save the files I updated/changed on my Mac to somewhere that I can access them later from that PC...right now they are saved to my Documents folder. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

    You can't fit 300 GB on an iPad.
    Are you sure they are 300 GB, I've never seen a file of that size, what type of files are they.

  • How do i transfer files between two macs over the net (FTP)

    Hi,
    Couldn't find a thread like this, apologies if its been discussed already recently, I'm trying to enable two iMacs both Intel, both running 10.4.10 to be able to swap files (quite large 350MB) over the net just using Tiger.
    We both have .Mac accounts but the files only upload properly to our iDisk 1 out of 3 times and its getting annoying, I basically want my mate to be able to drag a file off my HD onto his via the net using no other programs just Tiger, is this possible?
    If not, what's the best free program to use.
    Thanks

    You'll have to get an FTP client as the Finder only reads, not writes to an FTP server. I can't suggest a free one. You will also need to open your computers up to the world. If you don't know how to do that, search for Port Forwarding and your particular router. You'll have to open up port 21 for FTP.
    Plain old FTP is not very secure, so you shouldn't leave it open all the time. SFTP is Secure FTP, and you can use Fugu to use it. You'll still need to set up Port forwarding, but you can pick whatever port number you want. Fugu lets you pick the port number. You should set up standard users on each machine and make a sftpTransfer folder in the /Users/Shared/ folder. This will allow each of you to access the files. sftp allows anyone to see the directory structure, but still maintains the permissions from OS X. So, as standard users, you can look into each other's Home folder, but you won't be able to get into the subfolders or transfer files to or from any unshared locations.
    By the way, I wrote an entire post describing how to use sftp from the command line before I decided to look for a client app for you. Then I found Fugu and changed it all.
    Edit:
    I forgot to mention you must turn on Remote Login in the sharing pane, and you'll have to use port 22 as this is the only one Mac OS allows remote connections on.

  • I'm thinking of  buying one of the new Imacs and am presently a PC user - how hard is it or how can I transfer files from my PC to a new IMac

    I am thinking about purchasing a new IMac and presently use a PC.  I would like to find out how difficult it is to transfer files from the PC to the IMac or in more detail - just how is it done.  Many thanks for any responses.

    There are several ways by which it can be done. There is a special Migration Assistant for transferring an entire user account from a PC to the Mac. You would have to establish a network connection between the two machines.
    Transfer the files you want to an external USB hard drive from the PC then transfer from the external drive to the Mac.
    Ask the Apple retailer if they will transfer your data to the new Mac at the time of purchase. You will need to bring the PC with you.

  • How to share/transfer files between household computers?

    My wife and I would like to share photos, documents, music, etc. between our computers in the home.  Is there an easy way to do this using Time Machine?  Is it possible to just copy & paste (or drag & drop) a file from one computer to another?
    This is a simple question, I think.  I just don't know how to do it.  THANK YOU.

    Not with Time Machine. Use File Sharing and Home Sharing. Select Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "sharing."

    A lot of other apps use the 'standard' file sharing process, or they might have a setting within the app to trasnfer content to/from your computer via your wifi network.
    I believe (according to the developer's website) that Noteshelf has a user guide within the app ?

  • How do I transfer files between mac using Thunderbolt cable?

    I don't want to migrate the whole content from one mac to another.  I don't want the hassle of setting on one mac as a target disk.  I just want to be able to transfer the occasional file from my iMac to my MacBook Pro using the Thunderbolt cable. 
    I heard that Thuderbolt was superfast so I shelled out crazy money to buy a 2 meter piece of cable in the hope of making my life more productive. But it seems to be far from super straightforward!
    Both Macs have Thunderbolt ports and are running Mavericks so it should not be too complicated.  What am I missing?
    I read a blog that you can connect the two Macs through the Network Preferences.  Thunderbolt Bridge appears on both Macs - some times both status lights are red, sometimes one is yellow and one is red, sometimes both are yellow.  Do both lights have to be at least yellow before data can be transferred?  Or should they glow green?
    Do I need to change the settings?

    Be sure Ethernet is listed first in System Prefs > Network.
    If it isn't, click the "gear" icon and select Set Service Order.

  • How do I transfer files between my iMac and my MacBook Pro using an ethernet cable (not with AirPort)?

    Even though I connect my computers with an ethernet cable the files are still being transferred wirelessly.  I can tell because the transfers (usually around 4GB) take a few minutes with AirPort off, but 30 minutes to an hour with AirPort on.  I want to transer the files and still have AirPort on since I work on both computers at the same time and want to maintain the connection to the internet.

    Be sure Ethernet is listed first in System Prefs > Network.
    If it isn't, click the "gear" icon and select Set Service Order.
