How to copy files from a color classic w/broken floppy drive to an i-book ?

How to copy files from a color classic w/broken floppy drive to an i-book ?
I have a Coplor Classic with a system 7.
There is no ethernet on color classic. The floppy drive is dead.
I need some important files I have on the color classic...
How do I connetct them to transfer files?...

The easiest way, as AppleIIFreak has suggested, is probably to find another older Macintosh computer (with the round MiniDIN printer port) to be used as an intermediary. You could then connect the two machines by means of LocalTalk cabling, or just a plain Mac serial printer cable between the printer ports, and then set up file sharing. From that other Mac, you should be able to forward the files via Ethernet, diskettes (if you have an external USB floppy drive for the iBook) or email (Internet).
If a second old Mac is not available, you may want to try something else. It would not be unusual for a Color Classic to have ClarisWorks already (obviously, one cannot expect anything new to become installed). If so, that program suite would contain a communications part. This means that you could connect an external serial modem, and send the files over the phone lines (or locally, modem-to-modem, in principle as in KB article # 22229; sometimes a very simple home-built line simulator may have to be added) to any other computer using a terminal emulation application with file transfer capabilities. It would also be possible to connect the modem port directly to the serial port of a PC, through a combination of a Mac modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) and a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F).

Hi you can use this function module to move a file from application server to another folder on application server.
call function 'WS_FILE_COPY'
           exporting
                destination = m_destination
                source      = m_source
           importing
                return      = return.
Plus u can use this function module to delete the file from that folder from which u want to replace it.
      call function 'WS_FILE_DELETE'

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

How do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

how do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

More then likely that external drive is formatted the Windows NTFS format which Mac OS X can Read but it can not Write to that format. So you would need to copy all the data off that drive, to either a Windows PC or to your Mac, thenn use the Mac to format it for the Mac OS. Which would be Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID.
If you want to use that drive on both Mac and PC then you would need to format it either FAT32 or exFAT.

Connect USB drive to your MBP, format as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition using Disk Utility and copy away.

How to copy file from server to another machine in network through JSP

Hello!
any body can solve my problem.
i m working in JSP. i want to copy a file from server on which JSP engine is running to another computer in the same network.
i used Java File Object to copy file from one machine to another in network. and its working fine on network. but the problem is when i used the same code in web page there is exception which is Access is Denied. what i should do now.
i m writing the code i m using in my JSP page
String fileToCopy = "C:/oracle/Apache/Apache/htdocs/FAO/FAO_MiddleFrame.jsp";
String destinationDir = "\\\\af09\\c";
File source = new File(fileToCopy);
String fileName1 = source.getName();
if ((!destinationDir.endsWith("\\")) && (!destinationDir.endsWith("/"))) {
destinationDir = destinationDir + "\\";
File destination = new File(destinationDir + fileName1);
if (!destination.exists()) {
if (!destination.createNewFile()) {
//throw new IOException("Unable to create file. May be you don't have permissions.");
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(source);
FileOutputStream outStream = new FileOutputStream(destination);
int bytesRead = 0;
while ((bytesRead = in.read(buffer)) != -1) {
outStream.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
out.println("File copied successfully ....");
plz reply me as soon as possible.
i will be very thankful
Saad

Thats the way it works. Cause servlet contaner doesnot allow other machines in the network to access other than machine which it came from as in case of applets. What you can do is if the other machine is also based on webserver or app server .. you can upload the file as it gets to that page do the process.
I would like to hear more on my comments..
Suggestions ??

How to copy file from one location to another

Hi,
I am new to java, I tried the following code to move the file from one location to another
public class CopyFiles {
public String copy ( File source, File target)
throws IOException {
FileChannel sourceChannel = null;
FileChannel targetChannel =null;
try {
sourceChannel =new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
targetChannel= new FileOutputStream(target).getChannel();
targetChannel.transferFrom(sourceChannel, 0,
sourceChannel.size());
finally {
targetChannel.close();
sourceChannel.close();
return "Success";
public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception{
File source = new File("C:\\users\\download.pdf");
File destinationFile = new File("C:\\apple\\download.pdf");
copy(source, destinationFile);
The above code is working perfectly, but I Don't want to include the file name in destination file. i.e. File destinationFile=new File("C:\\apple"), and at the same time the pdf with same name has to get stored in the destination location, how can I achieve this.

Yes?
If that's the case, then break the original up into separate directory and file name portions, and then construct the destination path from the destination directory plus original file name. You can do that by manipulating the full path string, or by using the methods in java.io.File.

How to copy files from one user to another on same macbook pro

I used the migration assistant to move files from an old windows pc to my new macbook pro. It created a second user and put everything there. I now can't figure out how to move them so they are under me.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The easiest way is to put your files in /Users/Shared. To access to this folder, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type that directory.
That folder can be read by all users, so you won't have any problem to copy your files to the other user account.
Another option would be to copy your files to an external drive. Also, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

How to transfer files from my ipod classic to itunes on a new computer? I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.

I had itunes on my other computer. i bought cds and uploaded them to itunes there. Then everything was sync'd to my ipod.
now I have a new computer - andI want to transfer those files to my itunes.
BUT I can only transfer music I bought through the Apple store.
That's WRONG!
I spent money on cds - yes I'm old fashioned.
I want to listen to audiobooks on my CD so that's how they were recorded onto itunes and sync'd to my ipod.
Now it's a waste if I press the sync button!
I spent hours downloading cds to itunes on the other computer - which I will be getting rid of soon.
Please help.

Canon Rebel XSi and OSX - How to copy files from camera?

How do I copy the files from my Canon Rebel XSi to my Mac? I can "import them into iPhoto but is there a simple copy/paste option such as the camera appearing within the Finder?
On Vista it comes up as a Camera device within Windows Explorer.
Cheers
Rex

You might not be able to mount the Canon on the desktop unless it has a setting in the camera menu to switch it to USB Mass Storage mode. Many camera brands can do this, but many Canon models cannot.
It's still pretty easy to get images off it, though. In addition to iPhoto, you can use Apple Image Capture to select and download images to any folder, or any other software that supports the XSi like Canon EOS Utility (included) or Adobe Bridge/Photoshop/Camera Raw. If the XSi doesn't turn up in those apps, make sure you've got the latest versions.
I don't have the XSi, I have an older model, but according to reviews, the XSi still doesn't have USB Mass Storage support. Without that support I don't think it's going to show up on a Mac desktop.
You may be seeing it show up for drag-and-drop on a Windows Vista desktop, but the link above says that drag-and-drop in Windows only supports JPEG files, not RAW files. Are you getting just JPEG files on the Windows desktop? If so, and if you intend to use the superior RAW format, then basically you don't have drag-and-drop on Mac or Windows, if the review is correct.

How to copy files from an iPad app to your computer?

I thought I'd post this since the online help leaves out a step and this might be confusing to other users as well.
To export a file from the iPad to your computer, you need to first "Export" the file (at least in Pages you need to). To do this you:
1. Select *My Documents* in the upper left (if you're in the file on the iPad)
2. Select the Transfer icon at the bottom of the screen
3. Select Export
4. Select the *File Format* you want
5. Go to *iTunes > Apps > File Sharing* (at the bottom of the page)
6. Select your *App (Pages)* -- +You may need to re-select this. The first time I copied the file (even after the above) it still copied the old file (weird). Re-selecting refreshes the file list on the right. You can check the date stamp of the file as well.+
7. *Drag and drop the file* to your desktop from iTunes (this is the step the online help describes, but it leaves out the export step above.
I hope this helps...
+(A note to Apple: You should make file sharing easier. Maybe move the function to the tools menu in all your apps. I'd suggest this is where people expect Export, Mail, and Print functions to be...)+

How to copy files from another computer

Hi,
My daughter is logged into my server from her home. We ar trying to copy files using select all copy/ paste to my folder on the server.
We have copied about 82 images all jpegs. but thy all say 0 bytes.
What did we do wrong?
Thanks
Martin

Try to drag and drop the images to the server share.
While your description of your actions do not imply an error of execution, it might be worth trying an alternate method.
Also, what is your daughter's computer? Is it Windows? Since this is the OS X Server discussion thread, I will assume the server is a mini running Mountain Lion.
