How I solved my problem of transferring files (without spending a dime)

I was trying to figure out a cheap way to transfer stuff from my old iMac to my "new" old iMac. I asked you guys. One person suggested buying a crossover cable, but that ended up being really a complicated idea since I'm using OS 10.3.9 and the old system was OS 8.6 (I could have perhaps sent it to my classic OS 9. Who knows).
Someone else said I should get a cheap Flashdrive, which was a good idea, and I will.
But I'm broke, and I needed my fonts right away. Here's what I did. I emailed them to myself as .sit (stuffed) attachments. It took a while, but it worked.
Just wanted to share. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to reply.
Thanks,
Allan

Allan:
Pretty neat work-around. Unfortunately, you can't do that for everything. But, for you, this one worked. Congratulations.
Cheers.

    It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:

  • Upside down pdf file. Rotated and save but still upsided.  How to solve this problem?

    I received a pdf file that is upside down. Rotated and saved.  When I open the file, it is still upsided.  How to solve this problem?

    Hi,
    I think you are rotating the PDFs from View and rotate. it would only change the current View of the PDF.
    Kindly click on Tools on the right hand side > Pages > Rotate. then save the PDF.
    Let me know if it helps.

  • I download last update numbers. Now I cannot open the previous files. The screen asked to upload. How to solve this problem?

    The screen  asked to donwload the new numbers program. I already have done it. I cannot open the previous files. How to solve this problem?

    If by the "screen asked to upload" you mean you see a message to upgrade Numbers, then probably what is happening is that you have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in the main Applications folder and the old one in a subfolder named 'Work '09.  This is as intended.
    Try opening your document with the new version of Numbers that is in the Applications folder, not the Numbers that is in the subfolder.

    Since I use Mac os x mountain lion it is no more possible to share files with my pc windows 7. Does somebody know how to solve this problem? I have been answered by an Apple technician that with the new Mountain Lion the problem was with Windows. I am not convinced.

    I have renamed my pc and everything is ok with the file sharing SMB. Both my iMac and my pc can share files very easily.

  • [IDCS5 - js] How to solve permission problems in Win7?

    Hi All.
    I'm trying to save preferences for my scripts in InDesign folder and or sub-folders but Win7 do not allows my scripts to write files.
    I can create myhown sub-folder but, also in this case I have no permission for create new files (in my opinion this is a nonsense).
    Only the user folder and sub-folders are available but I want to hide my files and the user folder is too visible.
    Someone knows how to solve this problem or simply a work-around?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I guess I am a bit late with this answer but just in case anyone else has this issue then I can give some tips that will generally improve GPS reception.
    Make sure the phone has a clear view of the sky
    Make sure the screen is facing out away from the body
    Run in more open spaces
    Turn on your WiFi so that it is searching for networks
    Make sure full 3G services are enabled
    Turn off any power/battery save mode
    These should generally give you more accurate data.
    Cheers.

  • How to solve the problem "cannot create a datasink for **(datasource)"

    There is a forums that can send and receive RTP streams, and it can play on the client. Now I want to save it. I write the code according to the jmf2_0-guide, how ever it always throws the exception "cannot create a datasink for **(datasource)". The datasource is the RTP stream received from the server. Is there anything wrong with the data source or anything else?
    here is the code:
    public synchronized void update( ReceiveStreamEvent evt){
    if(evt instanceof NewReceiveStreamEvent){
    try{
    stream = ((NewReceiveStreamEvent)evt).getReceiveStream();
    DataSource ds = stream.getDataSource();
    MediaLocator f = new MediaLocator("file://foo.au");
    Manager.createDataSink(ds, f);
    RTPControl ctl = (RTPControl)ds.getControl("javax.media.rtp.RTPControl");
    if (ctl != null) {
         System.err.println(" - Recevied new RTP stream: " + ctl.getFormat());
         } else {
         System.err.println(" - Recevied new RTP stream");
         if (participant == null) {
         System.err.println(" The sender of this stream had yet to be identified.");
         } else {
         System.err.println(" The stream comes from: " + participant.getCNAME());
         // create a player by passing datasource to the Media Manager
         Player p = javax.media.Manager.createPlayer(ds);
         if (p == null) {
         return;
         p.addControllerListener(this);
         p.realize();
         PlayerWindow pw = new PlayerWindow(p, stream);
         playerWindows.addElement(pw);
         // Notify intialize() that a new stream had arrived.
         synchronized (dataSync) {
         dataReceived = true;
         dataSync.notifyAll();
         } catch (Exception e) {
         System.err.println("NewReceiveStreamEvent exception " + e.getMessage());
         return;
    Does any one know how to solve this problem? How to save or how to create a datasink? Please help! Thank you!!

    Why not work cuda on the card Quadro K4200 in Adobe Premiere? How to solve this problem?

    Funny that you rate your question as the correct answer.
    The answer is that you need to rename or delete the file 'cuda_supported_cards.txt' or add the card to that file.

    - Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.
