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 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....

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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?

  • How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

    Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
    This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.
