How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

Hi guys and galls,
How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

Attach the HDD to your MBP. Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
Do this on a PC. You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility. I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this. I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
Use ExFAT. FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.
Ciao.

How do I get a .mov file from my iMac to my iPad?

How do I get a .mov file from my iMac to my iPad?

Hi Mike in CoS,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What app did you use to create the .mov file? Apps like iMove or Final Cut Pro X have options to Share to iTunes to create a compatible version for the iPad. If you don't have the option to export the file again, then try the steps outlined in this article:
iTunes: Videos may be unable to sync to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1497
Here is some more general information about syncing videos:

How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

How to transfer or reassociate iTunes files from one external drive to another without reimporting?

Hello,
Hope someone can tell me an easy way to do this.
I have a massive itunes library which is presently split between my macbook and my external Lacie. I would like to transfer the files from the Lacie to a new external drive without reimporting all the files into itunes. I essentially would like itunes to recognise the path of the new drive instead of the files on the Lacie.
Any ideas?

I moved some movies and some seldom listened music (coped the files) into a folder on the Lacie drive. Then I reimported them to the main itunes library while holding down "option". This created a link to those files to the external. the files show up in my itunes but cannot be played unless i have the Lacie connected to them.
See this link.

How do I watch videos (.mov files) from my iphone 5 on my windows vista pc?

Hi I've downloaded my videos from my iphone 5 to my PC which runs Windows Vista, but I cannot work out how to play the videos (.mov files)
I've tried the latest Quicktime player (7.7.6) and also Quicktime 7.6 and the audio plays fine but the video is slow and jumpy. The video plays fine on my iphone.
I've tried iTunes on my pc but I have the same problem.
The problem is even worse with VLC media player in that the image is distorted and pixelated, but again the audio is fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

You need to import the videos to iTunes and synch via iTunes

How to transfer files from macbook air to external harddrive?

1) i really wan't to copy all my files(videos, pictures, music, documents,etc)from macbokk air to my buffalo external harddrive but i don't know how?..can you please help me..
2) my brother use different apple id that we can't access anymore, maybe after transfering all my files i can re-format my mac but also i don't know how....
hope you can help me coz i can't transfer my files from my ipadmini and my iphone5 to my mac..

go to DISK UTILITY and verify what it says your HD is formatted as under the "ERASE" tab
HFS+ above is the "mac format"
Format (erase) it in "mac osx Extended journaled"
Finder > Go > Utilities > DISK UTILITY
see from mine below, HD on left selected,   .......ERASE tab highlighted.... and middle right roughly, it says "MAC OSX EXTENDED JOURNALED"
thats the format, but yours may be different of course
bottom right ERASE tab lets you erase/ FORMAT your external as you like (remember this erases all data ON THE HD!)
highlighted in RED   Erase.......format (middle) ...........erase ACTION to Erase/Format (bottom)
If you dont want / need to format your Buffalo box go to #2 >
#2   To show HD on desktop
go into FINDER at top then PREFERENCES then GENERAL tab
then check "hard disks" and "external disks"
AFTER THIS YOU CAN DRAG AND DROP FILES AS YOU LIKE
Or you can use your buffalo as a Time Machine backup.
my brother use different apple id that we can't access anymore, maybe after transfering all my files i can re-format my mac but also i don't know how....

Access denied when I move files from MacBook to desktop

When move files from my MacBook Pro to my G5 desktop, I can't open them. I get an "access denied" message. I can fix the problem by going to "info" and changing the access, but how can I fix this so it doesn't happen at all? I don't want to have the hassle of resetting the access for each file every time I swap files back and forth between the laptop and desktop.

Ask and you will receive:
You can do the same thing in terminal using the chmod command, but it requires a bit more of a learning curve.
Leo server has a Built in GUI that allows you to do the same thing as Sandbox, I really feel Apple should have included something similar in the consumer version of Leo, since we are forced to deal with ACL's in Leo whether we want to or not. They are turned on by default and can only be turned off temporarily (fsaclctl command) as they will resume automatically at the next reboot.
Of course you must master the basics before attempting
ACL's from the command line.
Here are some links to some Leo ACL and command line documents:

How do you get 24/96 audio from macbook air?

How do you get 24/96 audio out from macbook air?

If your media source is limited to a DVD disk, then a DVD reader will somehow have to be employed to read that disk. Apple sells a Superdrive specifically designed for use with the MBA, but I've found that many others will work almost equally as well.
Some DVD disks already contain a digital file suitable for play, when directly copied off the disk. However, for more traditional DVD movies, it will require an application to perform what is called "ripping", to convert and copy the DVD's contents to a file that can be moved and played off the disk. I have used an application called "Handbrake" with reasonable success.
After ripping, you may need another application to convert it to a format specific to the media player you may choose to eventually use. e.g. to convert into a file that iTunes may import.

How do i copy my folders from macbook air to my toshiba external hard drive?

i have been trying to copy files on macbook air to my external hard disk which i used for my windows pc, n=but im unable to do so. and i even cannot delete the files on the hard disk. but i can copy the files on hard disk to my air. can you please explain me the required process properly. thank you

The external drive is probably formatted for the PC using NTFS which the Mac can read but not write to. You have two basic solutions to continue using that drive and I don't recommend the first. 1) install drivers on the Mac to allow it to read an NTFS formatted drive. I don't recommend this because all too often an Apple update breaks the 3rd party drivers and you are stuck until the drivers are updated 2) reformat the drive (or partition it) so that the Mac and Windows can read it. exFAT is a format that fits the bill but remember that formatting the drive will erase the data. Partitioning is another option - creating two logical drives from one disk - one for the Windows and one for the Mac. Although there are programs that can perform a non-destructive partition it is always a good idea to backup the drive just in case.
Of course a third option is buying an external drive just for the Mac.

How do I transfer a 744MB MOV file from iPad to PC

I have successfully transferred mov files and photo's from my iPad to PC using Nikon Transfer software, except for one video clip which is 744MB and over 10 mins long. Does anyone know how I can successfully transfer this mov to PC. Is there an alternative way of doing this. Maybe Nikon's software has limitations? Any recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks, Paul

Im assuming that you have itunes for this method.
Go into itunes and click on the name of your iPad under devices
At the top where you see summary, info, apps etc. Click on Apps
Scroll down to the bottom and look for file sharing. Have a look to see how you recorded the video and it might be in there.
Ah I see you are on a PC which rules out a few other options. If I recall you can view the camera roll via usb cable using windows explorer and then copy and paste (been a while since I checked)
What app did you use to record the video in?

How to transfer music files from Macbook Air to iPod touch?

i have a new Macbook Air and an Ipod Touch. i have loaded music files onto the Ipod successfully, and separately made purchases from Itunes on my Macbook. i want to integrate the music libraries on both devices - how can this be done?

"i have loaded music files onto the Ipod successfully,"
From where?
The ipod is not a sotrage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to ipod. The exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can simply sync your ipod to the the Macbook to get the music form the macbook to the ipod
