How to transfer files from emac and tiger to iMac

I am getting a new intel based iMac.  How can I transfer from old eMac with Tiger OS?

What you're going to need to do is physically transfer files from your old computer to the new one. Just doing a migration will not work.
What kind of information do you want to transfer?
1. Connect the computers onto the same network. I'd recommend using an ethernet cable over a wireless network.
2. On your old computer, go into system preferences> sharing> and turn on file sharing.
3. Repeat step 2 on your new computer.
4. On your new computer, go into the Finder, open a new window. Underneath "shared" on the left hand side you should see your old computer. Select the computer and connect as the admin user of your old computer (so use your old username and password).
5. Inside of this finder window, you can navigate to the files you want to transfer.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Thanks Raman and Challa,
    We want to move file from application server to Shared folder, not on local machine. We checked FM which you guys have provided but those are not able to read file from application server.
    We need this program to run in background so that we can use this in daily process chain.
    Appreciate your inputs on this.
    Thanks,

  • How to transfer files from 1 ipad to another

    how to transfer files from 1 ipad to another

    Depends what you are trying to transfer.
    Are you just trying to add content such as apps, music and photos?
    Or are these files that were created by such apps as pages and numbers?
    You can download content that was purchased in the itunes or app store by signing into same account.
    You can dowload any documents saved to icloud by signing into the same account.
    You can create a backup of the first ipad and restore the second from that backup.
    You can import or sync the content from the first ipad into itunes and then manually sync to the second.
    But this all depends on what you are actually trying to do.

  • How to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes

    how to transfer files from mac to ipad without using itunes ???
    as i want to use my ipad for official use as well...please suggest..

    well to be 100% technical, no you didn't but that aside, it good to know there are ways for people to transfer music into the default apps without iTunes, if they have a need.
    I tend to use 3rd party apps for documents, like your mentioned iExplorer etc, which are handy.
    I see from a search the two "apps" you mentioned are not iOS apps, which I had assumed, SyncPod and FreeSync are apps for your computer, that would explain their access to the default Music/Video apps.
    I had wondered how Apple had allowed iOS apps in the store that could get around the sandboxing in iOS of apps.

    how to transfer files from windows 7 pc to my new macbookpro

    You can use your external hard drive that is used to backup your important data to transfer the data from your PC to your Mac.
    If your Windows 7 PC is a laptop and you live near an Apple store, make an appointment at the Genius bar where they will help you transfer the data you want transferred from your PC to your MBP.

  • HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

    How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
    Insert the SD card.
    System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
    Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive.  iPhoto closes
    SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again. 
    I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
    What's wrong here. 
    The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
    This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
    What's the answer?
    I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.

    and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,

    another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
    another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
    there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
    thanks for the help!

    When I plug in an SD card, the finder window shows it under the DEVICES section.  At this point, I can drag the contents to the hard drive.  However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card.  I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card.  Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
    What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do?  Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
    It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.

  • How to transfer files from iBook to reader?

    How to transfer files from iBook to reader

    The first step is to export the PDF from iBooks to your computer (this cannot be one on your iPad or iPhone). Connect your iPad or iPhone to your syncing computer. Open iTunes. Select your device (how to do this depends on which version of iTunes you are running). Click on the Books tab at the top. In the current version of iTunes 11, I had to choose to view by PDFs. Then I could drag a PDF from the iTunes window to my Desktop.
    Then follow the instructions in this document to import the PDF(s) into Adobe Reader:

    Not so easy, I'm afraid. Easier if you just keep copies of your PDFs on your computer.

  • How to transfer files from an Android device to a MacBook Pro

    How do I transfer files from my Android to my MacBook Pro

    Short answer: download 'Airdroid' app onto your phone.
    The solution is in more detail below.
    Hope it helps
    Regards
    Tim
    There is a free Android App in PlayStore called, 'AirDroid'. I found the basic version brilliant and intend to buy the pro version in gratitude.
    Procedure
    Download the app, create an account and sign in.
    Airdroid will open on your phone with instructions to open http//web.airdroid.com on the Mac/pc. Here on this site, on your Mac, you can sign-in or more simply scan the displayed 'QR' symbol with your phone by pressing 'scan QR'. The page will then change to a file tree view of your phone.
    This will enable up/down loading of files/pics/videos, texting... view contact listings, remote find phone with gps, change lock codes, wipe phone....
