How do I transfer files from old Mac to Mac Air using ethernet to usb connection?

How can I transfer files from my previous Mac to new Mac Air using an ethernet cable from the Old Mac, connecting to the Mac Air with an Ethernet-to-USB adaptor?

Yes, you can use the usb ethernet adapter.
If you haven't started the new Air up yet, you can use the Setup Assistant that appears the first time you turn it on.
Otherwise, you can just use the Migration Assistant utility.
Cheers!

  • 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...;-)

  • 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 do I transfer files from old computer to the new one

    I have bought the desktop and used migration asiitant to transfer files but nothing came through, how do i transfer files

    Your best option of migrating was when your turned on the new computer for the first time using Setup Assistant. Part of SA is it asks if you are migrating from another Mac, you apparently passed that and missed that opportunity. You then must have used Migration Assistant which is similar to SA but with one critical difference. Migration Assistant migrates everything to a new user account whereas SA would not. Log out of your existing account and into the new account and you will find your stuff. If you want to start over (highly recommended) you can. You will need to carefully read Lion Setup Assistant tips beginning where he discusses Second Chance.... This will take some time but in the long run make your migration more seamless.

  • How do i transfer files from old Desktop PC to new Satellite L750?

    Hi everyone - Newbie to this site so be gentle with me please .
    Specifically I want to ask: (a) Will the MS Word 7 Starter that is already fitted to my Toshiba laptop accept many files from my old Desk Top, mostly Word documents? What sort of capacity has the Starter? What is the best device to use - a portable harddrive? USB? Disks?
    and
    (b) How do I retrieve my Bing Toolbar? Currently I do not have a tool bar that shows file,new,cut/paste at all. I do have a search space for Bing on my desktop, but nothing else except one toolbar at the top where I type in addresses that is on the far top righthand side with Home, Star and a Cog. Above that there isjust a minimise, maximise and cross for close.
    Thanks so much

    Dont worry about Office documents. New version can read old documents.
    About data transfer I can also say that easiest way for data transfer or data back-up is external HDD. You can buy small and mobile 2,5 external HDD and use it for data back-up and data transfer if you have big amount of different data.
    If you have to copy less than 8GB you can use small USB stick. They are not expensive and for few Euros you can buy 8GB USB stick.
    Last week I bought SanDisc 8GB USB stick for 8 Euros.
    About Bing toolbar I cannot say much because I dont use it.

  • How do I transfer files from windows to i-Mac

    I have just purchased the new i-Mac and wanting to transfer my files - I bought a portable USB 2.0 hard drive that says it is compatible with windows and Mac OS 10.4 or later but when I bought it the sales guy said that before transferring any files i had to format it first on the Mac with FAT32 so it can be used on both machines.  Is this correct as I'm not too sure how to format it - the instructions on the box say that it is Plug-n-Play and ready for immediate use.  Does this mean I should be able to use on both machines?
    Thanks for help! :-)

    found the answer! yay! :-)

  • How can I transfer files from iPhoto  on my mac to my iPhone?

    Trying to do the reverse of what's normal.  Thx.

    Connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab of you sync settings, check Sync Photos from iPhoto, select which photos you want to sync to your phone, sync.  These photos will appear on your phone it Photo Library (which contains all the actual photos) as well as within the individual folders you chose to sync to your phone (which contain links to selected photos in Photo Library, not duplicate photos).

  • How do I transfer data from my pc to macbook air using a cable?

    I have just bought a Macbook Air and have a lot of photos, music and videos on my old PC. It isn't wireless or on a network and transferring via CD or memeory stick is taking an age. I have been advised you can buy a cable but not sure what it is called. Can anyone help. Please!

    There's several options available, they're not perfectly but from my experience they work just fine. Here's an example of just two -
    Move2Mac - http://www.detto.com/move-2-mac-overview.php
    Belkin Transfer System - http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Mac-Transfer-Kit-White/dp/B001GTM4HQ
    You can also wire the two machines together via Ethernet and network them together but you'll require the USB-to-Ethernet adapter for the MacBook Air.
    Also as Kenneth suggested, there's the option of using an external HD and migrating.

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    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....
