How to transfer photo and movie files from my macbook pro

My Hard drive is almost full how can I transfer my music and video files from the MacBook Pro to an external drive (I would like to keep my video and photos on a separate drive to keep overload from happening again). I also have a Time Capsule, can I transfer those big files to Time Capsule?
Thanks

    I want to transfer my photo and movie files from my iPhone to my Mac OS X (10.5.8).
    But I don't want to use Cloud or iTunes.
    Is there a way to connect my iPhone 4S to my Mac directly,
    say ... via a program or such on my MAC, to drag and drop the photos and Movie files,
    directly into a folder. ??????????
    Reason want to connect iPone to MAC or MAC to iPhone is ....
    I have no DATA on my iPhone Mobile plan at moment.
    So Photosync app is no good, as I can't download the app to my iPhone.
    I can download a Photosync to my MAC ...
    but with the Photosync app you can only send data.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • HT4889 how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air

    how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?

    thanks but exactly how do I do this.  I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through.  I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
    Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder.  I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit.

  • 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"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    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.

  • Transfer photos and music to a new macbook pro using time machine

    Help!  I backed up my old macbook pro to an external drive using time machine.  I want to transfer all of the photos and music to my new macbook pro, but it says I don't have permission.  I can't get permission from the old mac because it won't turn on!  I brought it to the genius bar and they couldn't turn it on either.  They suggested I take it to Staples to get the files off.

    Julie,
    Probably because you used a different account name than you had on the old one. Create a new account with the same name you had when you created the backup and run Migration Assistant. Migration Assistant is in Applications / Utitlities and you create the user by clicking the Apple icon, then System Preferences, Users & Groups.

  • How do you cut and paste files from a Macbook?

    I am trying to cut (edit, select all, cut) and paste from a Macbook Pro, but when I try to paste into an external hard-drive, the paste function is greyed-out.  Command V doesn't even do anything.  How can I complete this simple task?  Thank you. 

    The hard drive is probably not Mac-writeable - likely it's NTFS (Windows) format.
    If it's empty, you can reformat it to Mac format using Disk Utility.
    If it has files that you need and/or you don't want to reformat, you can try Paragon NTFS to allow you to write to the drive.

  • How do I delete Firefox and other files from my MacBook Pro computer

    I want to remove Firefox and all other files that may not be removed from my MacBbok Pro laptop.
    MAcBook Pro, 17inch, 2.4GHZ. Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    PLease tell me how to do this. Thanks.

    I don't know how Firefox installs, but if you just dragged it into the Applications folder, you can drag it to the Trash and empty it.
    If it had an installer, then you need to use the uninstaller provided by the developer.
    What are the other "files that may not be removed?" It doesn't sound like much of a good idea.

  • How do i move files from my MacBook Pro to my Ipad using bluetooth?

    Apparently the Ipad does not have enough bluetooth services to do the most elemental fuction for what bluetooth was created! File Transfer! Could that be true? or am I just slow and cant figure that out!
    Has anybody tried before?
    G

    Bluetooth on the iPad is aimed at devices such as headphones and keyboards, not for transferring files - which would be a slow anyway. The supported bluetooth profiles are listed on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647 . You can sync files via iTunes, or, if they app you want to transfer to supports it, via your wifi network. Plus some apps support Dropbox, email attachments etc
