  • How to transfer files from Del to mac pro

    How do you transfer files from my old Del to my new mac book Pro?  Also would it be better to ransfer the files to a external hard drive?

    Thanks Alot that works with purchasing a hard drive do you know any particular good ones?
    Well you only really have a choice of Seagate and Western Digital now, however if you buy Hitachi external drive, even though WD owns them, it should be the best drive of all, certainly better than Segate + Maxor.
    I would like to have one wireless.
    External drives are wired, but you can hook them to a router and the router acts as the wireless data transfer to the hard drive.

  • How to transfer files from dell to Mac?

    Hi everybody my parents for xmas have bought me a new applemacbook. woowowo however i have had my dell inspiron 1525 for 6 years so have quite alot of pictures files and downloaded music.  I have itunes and know how to transfer all that side of it but how do i transfer everything else like my documents pictures and odd bits i find?  Also how do i transfer my converted music to the mac without having to redownload/sync and all that?
    I am 15 and am not tech savvy like abriviations and that different softwares and i cannot afford cables and that to trnasfer it as i have seen some people use.
    sorry not much to go on

    Hands4 has posted a link to an article about Apple's PC migration assistant. Take a good look at the article. It is a novice friendly way to transfer your stuff - documents, pictures, music, contacts, and email from the PC to your Mac. I strongly recommend that if you choose this method that you use it the very first time you start up your Mac.
    If you aren't concerned about keeping your mail and contacts it is also easy just to use an external drive or a flash drive to copy stuff from one computer to the other. Plotinus refers to formating the drive in a way that both Windows and  Mac OS can read/write to it but no matter how the drive is formatted the Mac will be able to copy the files from it.
    When my sister finally dumped Windows she was using Google Mail so all her contacts and email info was on Google. That made it easy for her to move into her new Mac with just a 32GB flash drive. Also, since she was using iTunes with her iPhone already most of her music could be redownloaded to the Mac which also made things a bit easier for her.

  • How to transfer files from PC to Mac using Ethernet cable?

    I am a brand new PC to Mac convert and loving it. I'm just having trouble transferring my files from my PC to my MacBook Pro. I have my PC and Mac connected with an ethernet cable. I'm just not sure what steps I need to take from there. I guess I have to turn on file sharing on my PC but I'm pretty much lost from there. Is there a tutorial or how-to on how to do this? I tried the one on the Apple site but it didn't really help that much

    See if one of these methods will work for you:

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.

  • TS1501 How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    Where are these movies? what format do they have?
    You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
    Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
    Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

    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):

    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.
