HT1752 how to transfer files from G4 (OS 10.4.11) to macbook pro

Hi there! Needing help with the above. Have tried migration asssitant but it appears I can't get the required software upgrade for the old g4 so the macbook isn't able to connect to it. Is there a quick and easy way to transfer document and photo files? Thanks for your suggestions.

Connect via firewire cable each other and boot up G4 as target disk mode(start with hod down the "T" key until firewire icon appear on the screen) to be ordinary "external drive". Then copy the file you need.
When you finished, safely eject the target Mac as if it’s any other disk and push 4G's power button to shutdown.

  • How do i transfer files from external hd to new hd in macbook pro

    Hi Totally new to upgrading Mac.  I Backed up my hd to a an external hd. Upgraded my hd to 1tb. How do I make the transfer? The new hd does show in disk utility. Do I have to format this hd? Really not sure what to do next. Thanks

    Format the new 1TB internal drive 1 partition, Option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended Journaled, give it a name and click Apply.
    Then head to Erase and move the slider one notch to the right, then click erase and come back in a few hours.
    What this will do is write zero's to the whole hard drive and then it reads it back and if the driver can't read a sector of data, it's mapped off never to be written to again.
    This is a lenghtly process, but has the benefit of your precious data being placed on perfectly working magnetic sectors and reduces a lot of issues later on down the road.
    Once that is finished, quit Disk Utility and install OS X using your AppleID and password on a reliable, fast, Internet connection (preferably via Ethernet cable)
    Once that is done, reboot and setup. If your backup is TimeMachine or bootable clone, then hook that up first and reboot again so Setup Assistant see's it and you can use that to transfer your programs and accounts/files over.
    If you want to start brand new, with no contamination of older programs, then install programs fresh first from original sources (best actually) and then manually transfer personal files from backup checking to see what they are.
    If the account names are different, then drop the files into the DropBox folder of your new account's Public folder, this way the permissions and whatnot will change.
    When you use Migration or Setup Assistant, it copies all your crap and unwanted history along for the ride.
    Some like a clean start on a new machine, leaving sins of the past behind them.

  • How to copy files from one user to another on same macbook pro

    I used the migration assistant to move files from an old windows pc to my new macbook pro.  It created a second user and put everything there.  I now can't figure out how to move them so they are under me.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    The easiest way is to put your files in /Users/Shared. To access to this folder, open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type that directory.
    That folder can be read by all users, so you won't have any problem to copy your files to the other user account.
    Another option would be to copy your files to an external drive. Also, see > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

    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?

    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 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.

    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.
