HT2518 My daughter has to go from a PC at school to our Mac. We have Microsoft office installed on the Mac and she uses Word and PowerPoint and prints them. What we need is the how-to to moves the files to a flash drive so she can use them at schools, PC.

Our IMac has Microsoft Office installed so my daughter can do homework. The problem we have is moving files to a travel drive to take work to school to use on the school computer (PC). How do we do it?

The Mac's Finder is the same thing as the Windows Explorer. Insert your Flash drive and you will see it become available in the sidebar of a Finder window under "Devices." If it does not appear here then try going to the Finder menu, select Preferences, and then in the Sidebar section checkthe option to include "External disks" in the sidebar (you can also check the option in the General section to have disks show on the Desktop).
When this is done, you can then drag any file from any accessible location in the Finder to the disk device in the sidebar and have it copy to the disk. You can also select items (use the Command and Shift keys in selecting to select more than one item) and then press Command-C to "Copy" followed by going to the disk, opening it, and pressing Command-V to paste the items to the disk and effectively copy them that way.
When finished select the disk and press Command-E to eject it, which can also be done by right-clicking it and choosing Eject, dragging it to the Trash from the Desktop, or by clicking the little Eject button that appears when you hover your mouse over the drive in the sidebar.

  • Does the Ipad mini w/ retina display offer the ability to have microsoft office installed?

    Can the ipad mini have the ability to have microsoft office installed? Looking at possibly purchasing one for school.

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. As UK-Max said, Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) which will be free with the purchase any new iPad; they can be purchased separately for older iPads. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.
    Regards.

    I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder.  So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook.  At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality.  Thanks -Gina

  • I need more space to make my windows 7 partition. Can I make that partition on a USB flash drive so I can use it when I want and still have my full ssd when I don't? Do you guys know of any ways to do this?

    I am considering buying a 128 gb MacBook air and I will need to make a windows partition. I would like to be able to use all of my ssd do I was wondering if I could put my windows partition on a small USB flash drive to use when I want to. Do you know if any programs or techniques capable of this?

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

  • How do i download pdf files onto a flash drive from my windows phone?

    How do I transfer PDF files from my phone to a flash drive?

    As with any other type of file; either plug your phone into your computer so it appears as a portable hard drive and copy them across, or use the Acrobat.com cloud storage tool in Adobe Reader Mobile to upload from your phone, then download to your desktop computer using Adobe Reader.

  • How do I move a playlist to a flash drive so it will play in my car?

    Said it above.  Created a playlist in iTunes and on my macbook air I'm trying to burn it onto a flashdrive usng the SD slot.  My computer says there's no burn drive or software...

    You don't burn to a flash drive/SD card - you can copy.
    Drag the tunes you want onto the flash drive/SD card.
    Plug it into the port on the car stereo. Make sure that the files you copy are in a format the the car stero will play.

  • How do I reformat my Seagate Expansion external hard drive so I can use it for Mac

    I recently purchased a 3TB Seagate® Expansion® external hard drive for PC. My plan is too reformat it so that I can use it, but it has been acting wierd on me. It says on Disk Utility that it is 4 gbs but I have a 3TB one. Im on OSX mavericks by the way. Thanks!

    akostainsek,
    the diskutil output shows that the disk has no Apple-recognized partitioning. Try the following commands in Terminal to establish the partitioning, and to see if it takes effect:
    diskutil eraseDisk JHFS+ Seagate disk1
    diskutil list
    Again, please include in your reply the full output from these commands.

  • If I have Microsoft Office installed on my computer and I upgrade the OS, will I lose that program?

    I downloaded Office using an internet purchase through school and am not sure if I have the capabilities to log back in to download it since I graduated.  I want to upgrade to the new operating system, but do not want to have to purchase Office again. Thank you!

    You should not lose the program, but make sure you have the installation code as you may have to re-enter it to activate Office after the upgrade.

  • How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19

    How do I move the page-load progress meter from the bottom task bar to the top menu bar, or inside the top/header toolbar? I am currently using Firefox Version 3.6.19.
    URL Eaddress: [email protected]

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar to get the new appearance.<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You can place the Tab Bar on top.
    * View > Toolbars : [ ] Menu Bar
    * View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top
    The Tab bar only appears on the title bar if the Firefox window is maximized.

  • How do I move data files from old iPhone? Specifically, the password files for the App mSecure from my old iPhone 3Gs to iPhone 4S?

    How do I move data files for mSecure (a password saver app) from old iPhone 3GS to new iPhone 4S?

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.
