  • Macbook in target disk mode locks up when trying to transfer files to another computer. Suggestions?

    A week ago I installed snow leopard on my girlfriend's macbook without backing anything up. Dumb idea I know. The installation failed multiple times. I ran her computer in target disc mode to try to save what files I could. Now when I try to transfer files it will freeze up at different times. Sometimes I can transfer a huge amount of data like 4GB's and the other times it locks up trying to transfer 4kB's. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out. I can see the files but can not transfer them.
    Any suggestions or past similar past experiences?

    Hi Anand,
    Have you noticed when you plug the drive in whether its making any sounds? You can put your ear up to the drive on the Macbook. Its located on the right hand front sided of the top case.
    Also, check to see if the target disk mode icon is moving after a few minutes. If the firewire icon has stopped moving it usually indicates that theres something seriously wrong (probably mechanical) with the drive.
    Id definitely give Disk Warrior a try. Especially if you have a situation where you can hear the drive running or spin up but it doesn't make any sound after that. Hope this helps.

  • How try transfer files from one computer to another

    I have an imac and now I have a new macbook pro 15". Is there an easy way to have my macbook pro behave like a disk drive hooked up to my imac so I can drag and drop files from my macbook pro to my imac?

    Better, use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer all your stuff automatically.
    See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum).

  • 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.

  • How to transfer itunes to another computer using a 2gb memory stick

    I would appreciate some help please
    Thanks in advance
    Sam

    Assuming all your music and files will fit on a 2GB memory stick, you could use the method below with a minor adjustent.

    If the whole thing won't fit on the memory stick, as seems likely, it would be better to go for another method such as the iPod as in the link or an external HD.

    Export your bookmarks (file menu in Safari, from the Show All Bookmarks option in Firefox) and save to your HD. Copy the saved .html file to the other Mac over the network, or by copying the file to a USB stick and copying to the other Mac, or emailing them to the other Mac. On the other Mac import the Bookmarks file into your browser of choice,

  • How to transfer files from ipad to new computer

    I am trying to find out how to transfer files, (Music, Videos, Ect.) from my iPad to a another computer. I lost all my files on my computer and it won't let me recover my files from my iPad and save them on my new install.

    Honestly there is no real way unless these are items you have purchased from iTunes.  There is an option to Transfer Purchases from iPad but these are only going to be Apps, Music, Videos, etc. that you purchased and downloaded from the App Store/iTunes (you can also do the same by just opening up iTunes on your computer, going to iTunes Store, then going to Purchases, and downloading your purchases).
    If they are files that you haven't purchased through the App Store/iTunes then you won't be able to transfer those back to your computer.

  • How can I transfer files from my computer to my I pad ?

    How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

    Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
    Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
    Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
    Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

    Hi roseabe
    Please give us more details. What kind of computer (model, speed) are you trying to transfer from and to?
    Besides, you don't hold down cmd/apple+"T" on the target computer - just the "T" key.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    Ok this worked to solve the error.
    Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
    That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
    With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.

  • 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.
