How do I transfer files from my android to my Mac?

I can't seem to get my Mac to transfer from my android after I've gotten them to pair by way of bluetooth.
I bought my Mac in May and I'm having a really difficult time finding the value in the Mac aside from the trackpad.The problem is that I don't have hours to spend on tinkering with my computer. I just want it to work and it's very difficult.
I also can't transfer files to and from an MP3 player that isn't an ipod. All this reading about how user friendly Macs are and I continue to struggle. I want to slit my wrists after fussing around for about an hour on this thing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to assimilate to the cult of Mac users, I'm just having a tough time getting there.

If you don't need to write to the drive from the iMac, just plug it in and copy the files off. If you do, install software such as the NTFS-3G drivers.

    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 my PC to mini Mac if I only have one monitor?

    I'm going to be purchasing a Mac mini. I have a Windows PC running XP. I only have one display monitor, so I was wondering how do I transfer files from my XP to my mini Mac with only one monitor?
    Thanks

    You'd have to give us some more information in regard to the inputs of your display.
    Generally, you should be able to plug your current PC into one input (DVI most likely) and then the Mac mini into another (HDMI) then flip between the inputs on the monitor via the on-screen menu.

  • How do I transfer files from time machine to new mac?

    I have owned my own imac since 2009, we have recently inherited a newer imac from a family member and I would like to transfer all of my files from my time machine to the new imac. How do I erase the files currently on this "new" imac, and then transfer my files from my time machine?

    What version of OS X does the new iMac have installed. Do you know exactly which model it is?

  • How do i transfer files from external harddrive to new mac

    Okay I'm getting a new macbook pro with retina display tomorrow, but i currently own a macbook pro. I backed up everything on an external hard drive from the macbook pro. Question is, how do I get all my stuff from the external to the new macbook pro with retina?

    Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
    Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.

  • How can I transfer files from my iPod to my Mac?

    I lost a bunch of old podcasts from my Mac and they are no longer on iTunes. I do have them on my iPod but I don't want to connect it to my Mac and have it sync up and lose the tracks. Is there a way to upload or transfer files or songs from my iPod to my Mac?

  • How do I transfer files from my PC to my mac on an external hard drive?

    I have an HP external hard drive that I have put all of my files from my PC on. I am trying to move them onto my Mac, but I have absolutely no idea what to do. As a warning, I am kind of computer illiterate.

    If your Mac is running OSX 10.7 Lion you might wanna use this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796

  • How can I transfer files from my pc to my mac

    How can I move the files back and forth
    Or just from pc to mac
    Thanks

    It won't work. When the Mac is booted into FireWire target disk mode, it acts as an external FireWire drive. The drive is formatted as HFS+ which the PC can't read.

  • Just bought a new macbook pro, how do I transfer files from my pc to my mac using a network?

    I have been reading on the apple website, and the best option for me is to use a network, I understand how to set it all up on a pc, but I have no idea what it means where it says the bit in bold. (point 3)
    Make sure that both computers are turned on and connected to the Internet.
    In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
    Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using this format: smb://ServerName/ShareName, or select the name of your PC in this window (if it appears).
    Click Connect.
    Enter your PC's workgroup name, your user name, and your password when prompted, then select the volume or folder you wish to access.
    Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
    Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
    When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it.

  • How to transfer files from an Android device to a MacBook Pro

    How do I transfer files from my Android to my MacBook Pro

    Short answer: download 'Airdroid' app onto your phone.
    The solution is in more detail below.
    Hope it helps
    Regards
    Tim
    There is a free Android App in PlayStore called, 'AirDroid'. I found the basic version brilliant and intend to buy the pro version in gratitude.
    Procedure
    Download the app, create an account and sign in.
    Airdroid will open on your phone with instructions to open http//web.airdroid.com on the Mac/pc. Here on this site, on your Mac, you can sign-in or more simply scan the displayed 'QR' symbol with your phone by pressing 'scan QR'. The page will then change to a file tree view of your phone.
    This will enable up/down loading of files/pics/videos, texting... view contact listings, remote find phone with gps, change lock codes, wipe phone....

  • How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)?  WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it.  Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

    How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)?  WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it.   Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed.  It says to backup files and restore.  But how do I backup files?  Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

    You may drag & drop between external hds. 
    Should you run into trouble.
    Take the exernal drive appart.  Take out the harddrive.  Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

    How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

    Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
    Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
    Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
    Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.
