How do I transfer files to my mac from flash drives

I'm trying to transfer pictures to my macbook pro from an SD card.  Not sure how.  Please help

Either your MBP needs to have an SD slot reader built-in or you need to purchase one that connects to the computer via USB port.

  • How do you transfer files (Music/books/pictures) from an iPAD or iPOD device to an new PC that has iTunes, but no data of files

    I have purchased an new PC since my oriiginal PC crashed after 5 years of use.  I want to transfer my iTunes files from my iPAD and iPOD to my new PC.

    Authorize your new computer's iTunes first - Store>Authorize this computer.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    This discussion has much of the same information and even some more helpful tips.

  • Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

    I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder...  How can I fix this?
    Please help me!

    You don't need to recover the system.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    dot_clean -m
    Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

  • 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.

  • HT4759 how can I transfer files to my iPad from my mac when tethered

    I've benn a mac user for many years.  My job provides iPhones and I'm trying to use my wifes old iPad to carry work files and email. My ipad won't sync like the phone and mac are.
    Can I transfer files manually when tethered?
    My second question is the Exchange account I use dosen't work on the iPad.  I have set it up with all same settings I use on th mac and the phone, but with
    ne luck.  I get a message stating my password is incorect.
    Any help would be great.
    My mac is 17" MacBook Pro 2.4g running 10.7.5
    The phone is a iPhone 4 (?) running os 6.0.1
    The ipad is iPad running 5.1.1

    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 you transfer files to another mac via cloud

    I have a Mac Pro 2.3 GHz w/ Lion OS. What is the best way to transfer files to other computers on my wireless network w/ the same OS?

    If the computers are capable and they're all using Lion then I'd probably use Airdrop. However if you are not at the same location then use Dropbox (www.dropbox.com) or wait for iCloud which is scheduled for this fall. You can find out more about iCloud at:

  • How do I transfer files through time machine from old macbook to new macbook pro?

    I have Lion on my old macbook and I have saved all my info through time machine.  How do I transfer my files to my new macbook pro? 

    If you want to restore all you old machine to your new MacBookPro, simply restart you computer in Recovery mode (Hold option key while restarting), select restore from Time Machine Backup, and select the latest or whatever date you like.
    On the other hand if you want your new MacBook to use your old TM back, just inherit  that backup using the following command in Terminal:
    tmutil inheritbackup {machine_directory | sparsebundle}
    You will find detailed instructions for inherit backups here: http://pondini.org/TM/B6.html

  • 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 unlock file permissions on an external flash drive connected to a mac book air?

    Hi there, I have just synced my I tunes library to I Tunes on my mac book air using a WD external flash drive (which I have always used as my storage drive for my entire library and was previously running on a Sony Vaio PC) and although I can now see and play all my files I can't download new content as I get an error message stating "there was a problem downloading.... you don't have priveleges to make changes" which from my research is because the flash drive I tunes folder permissions within it are locked to read only.
    Which is where the problem lies as I can't see anyway to change this when clicking on the drives in my devices and going to the get info option, as although it shows the permission status - you can't edit that?
    Note I know this is the issue as if I change the I tunes media folder location back to the defualt folder as the hard drive on the mac book I can then download new files no problem, however I dont want to store my content on the hard drive of my mac book air as my library is over 300gb and want to keep it all on the external (as I always did when running I tunes on my PC).
    Any help will be apprecaited guys!
    Thanks

    If the drive is formatted as MS-DOS or exFAT, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to repair it.
    If it's formatted as NTFS, either reformat it or install third-party software which enables the Mac to write to NTFS drives.

  • How do I transfer data to my mac from a portable hard drive without getting error 36?

    I keep getting error 36 when I try to transfer data from my portable hard drive it says unable to read file :-(

    Hi, that -36 error can be 2 different things...
    For error -36, might try this...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301580
    If the drive is Fat32 it can also be caused by Too many files/folders at root of the drive, files over 2-4 GB in Size, or bad characters for DOS.
    Well, in pure Apple File System talk... -36            ioErr            I/O error (bummers)
    Not very helpful, but generally means a Drive quit being Readable or Writable since starting the operation...
    http://fuzzy.wordpress.com/2006/12/10/ioerror-36/
    Can also be caused by faulty drives or PSUs on the external.
    Even possilbe you have Disk errors on the Internal drive.

  • How to run java on computer without java from flash drive

    Im running a chess club at school and the school computers, you aren't allowed to install on the hard drive.
    Is there a way to put an ide and the java folder containing the jre and jdk on a flashdrive and run the ide and run programs solely from the lfashdrive?

    Yes. put the JDK (not the separate JRE) on the flash drive. The JDK contains a JRE.
    Plug the flashdrive into a computer you control. If that computer already has the desired JDK installed, copy the JDK directory (all of it) to the flash drive. Otherwise, do an install of the JDK to the flash drive.
    To run Java application programs use a command that provides the full path to the java.exe program, for instance (in Windows)
    *<drive letter>:\<some directories>java <the name of your program>*
    You could create a bat file to make this easier to type.
    You can't run applets or anything else that depends on Registry entries.
