How do I transfer files from mac with snow leopard to a new retina display mac

What is the easiest way to transfer files from my old mac(2008) snow leopard to my new retina display mac book pro?

Easiest? Well there is some sort of wireless transfer thing, but I hear it takes FOREVER like several days and it's glitchy.
The Retina doesn't have a Firewire port I believe, so Target Disk Mode is out, unless you have a adapter and I don't know how well that will work out. Cost another $30 for the adpatper I bet.
The likely most easiest?
Run down to any computer or office store and pickup a powered external USB hard drive that's the same size or larger then the old Mac's boot drive.
Boot the old Mac and download Carbon Copy Cloner.
(or use the TimeMachine if it asks, but it takes a reallly long time and if there are problems, then it's harder to recover files from)
Format the external drive in Disk Utility with Partition: option GUID and OS X Extended Journaled (default setting)
Use CCC to clone OLD A boot drive to External Drive B, takes about a few hours depending how much stuff you have.
Hook up drive to new Mac, (either clone or TimeMachine drive)
Use the free Migration Assistant in your Application Utility folder to transfer over, but creates a new user account (you can later delete one)
Or if you haven't set up the new Mac yet, when you do set it up during that process, you can transfer from the External Drive B and it won't have the account you set the machine up with naturally just uses the ones from the clone or TimeMachine drive.
Once your fine and dandy on the new machine, then Disk Utility erase and use the external USB to create either a bootable clone with CCC or a TimeMachine drive for backup.
Since you need a backup drive anyway, this method is better and happens to be reliable and easy.

How do you transfer files from mac to word pc for school? Paper keeps changing format when professor opens it on PC

I have Word 2011 on Mac 10.6.8. I write my papers and save them as .docx I submit them to my school online but every time My professor opens them he says the margins are set wrong. He said to save them as a Word-Pc format. How do I do this? Do I save it as RTF or as PDF? He has to be able to make comments on the paper after along the right side. I can not ask him to download anything t make it easier for me. I should be the one doing it correctly. I just do not know how. Can you please tell me how I should be saving my papers so that they do not change format when he opens them on his PC?
And I do recheck and open and repen my paper to check and recheck my margins before I submit it and all is fine on my end.
Thanks for your help.

nnigel, Welcome to the discussion area!
I've been reading thru the discussions and yet to find a clear answer on how to transfer files from my external HD to time capsule.
If it is directly connected to your Mac via USB or FireWire, Time Machine will include it in the backup.
...but is it difficult to point the library to the music file on the Time Capsule?

So, I guess there is no easy way to transfer files from a mac to a pc??? I remember easily transferring my pc files to the mac, and there are a ton of websites with info on how to transfer from pc to mac. But Ihave found virtually nothing on mac to pc transfer. I'm beginning to think I will have to go out to purchase a new hard drive. Any recommendations on a good one?
There ia a very easy way to tranfer files from Mac to PC or PC to Mac. Very simple connect them to the same network (LAN), Log in to the other and select the files you want to copy an paste them to the other computer.
I do it all the time. From Mac to PC and PC to Mac.
No Problems at all. Much better then an external hard drive and moving it around. And No need to worry about drive format. Each OS takes care of that when files get copied over the network.

How do I transfer photos from iPhone 4 to iPad air

How do I transfer photos from the camera roll on my iPhone 4 to my iPad Air?

If you have a few, you can e-mail them from one device to another.
You can enable iCloud on both devices and turn on photo stream (although photo stream doesn't work retroactively so it may take some fiddling)
there are third party apps out ther for photo sharing
You can upload them to a service like dropbox, from one device, then download them onto the other one.

HT1296 How would I transfer files from computer back to iPad?

I bought the iPad 2 in Fall of 2011. I just updated the operating system to 5.1.1.
Before the update, all of my files and apps were transfered to iTunes.
How do I transfer the files and apps from iTunes back to my iPad?
Thanks,
Jim

I'm glad you wrote back. The message you are getting would indicate your iPad has not been synced to this iTunes account. In iTunes with your iPad NOT connected do the following:
First go to Store and make sure you Authorize This Computer with your Apple ID and Password
Next go to:
Edit > Preferences > Devices and choose Do Not Automatically Sync iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch when Connected to iTunes
Now, connect your iPad and once it is recognized on the left side, instead of clicking on it as you did previously, RIGHT click it. This will open a drop down box and you should choose Transfer Purchases.
This will transfer your Apps to iTunes.
Now, do not sync. You're going to need to restore from backup if you have any hope of getting your GoodReader content back.
To do this, Again, right click your iPad an choose restore. Choose the most recent backup (I do hope you have been regularly backing up your iPad, because if you haven't, you just may not get your contect back.
That's about the best I can offer you. No matter the outcome, at least your iPad will now be working correctly with your iTunes account on your computer.

Can you transfer files from Macbook Pro to iPad Air via USB ?

Hi ,
Can you use that USB adapter to transfer photos / .pdf`s / .mp3`s and so forth ?
I have a MBP-R + MM , and would like to be able to use the newer iPad Air for veiwing photos as well as .pdf`s , I got the music part , just sync with iTunes.
Many thanks !

iTunes, when your iPad Air is plugged in via USB to your computer and selected in iTunes, has a tab for Books which can transfer your PDFs to iBooks. It also has a tabs for Photos.
If you select the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the apps list, you will see a section for Apps that can sync files between your computer and the App on your iPad Air. So if you have an app that handles a specific file format you can use iTunes to sync that file between your computer and your iPad Air.
As has been mentioned above, besides iBooks, GoodReader is another well respected app that handles PDFs and you can transfer PDF files between your computer and GoodReader on the iPad Air via the Apps tab.

How Do I Transfer File from Mac to Windows?

I have a 5GB video file on the Mac that I would like to transfer to a Windows laptop. Windows can not read my external mac drive and a 5GB file is to large for a FAT drive. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks for the quick reply, I am not familiar with ExFat, but I do have Windows 7. Will see if I can figure out how to do that then. I have a 16GB flash drive that I can try this on with. I assume ExFAT does not have the GB limit that FAT drives have then.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

How do i transfer file from my pc to my mac

How do i transfer files from my pc to my new i mac

I am struggling to transfer files over to my new Mac and the data migration at the store failed. They didn't explain why - just told me I had to do it myself manually.
I put all the files (lots of work stuff!) on my external hard drive, but the Mac isn't even showing these files in the library when I connect the external hard drive. The Office Suite opens programs like Word, so it seems to have loaded properly.
Ideas?

How do i transfer files from old mac with frozen screen?

My PowerBook G4 just froze. I bought a new MacBook Pro. How do I transfer files from my old mac to my new one. I have firewire cable with firewire adapter for the new Mac. And the old mac has a disk that won't eject.

Turn your PowerBook off. Connect both computers with the firewire cable and then start your PB in Target Disk Mode (press the T and the power button at the same time, and keep the T pressed until your PB's hard drive mounts on the MBP's desktop. Then, you can use Migration Assistant, or good ol' drag and drop, your call.
If your PowerBook cannot enter Target Disk Mode, then you have bigger problems...;-)
