HT2518 Need to import files from PC. Not enough space on old PC to down load migration assistance.

First of all, please be patient with me as the Mac is new to me and I'm trying, but old PC habits die hard. Ok I can't download Migration Assistant on to my old PC as there is no room. Trust me, it won't do it. So I've got most of my files, music,etd. on an external hard drive and need to transfer to my Mac. I've plugged the USB cord in, got the icon under devices on Finder, but can't find a "select all" button/choice to move them. I can do the photos, (had to do them in small groups with highlighting and dragging - there must be a better way!) but can't get files to go. They are for the most part MS office/excel. Can someone help me?

Hi MtM,
I am sorry about your problems. The issues here are that FC does not use MPEG streams for editing video these are highly compressed formats which will look poor when compressed out again. However I have successfully downloaded video from Sony's DVD cam before. Its not as "quick" as plugging your cam in via Firewire, but it works.
You need a utility call DVDxDV I think it's $30 or so, or you can use another one called Handbrake which is shareware and works pretty well. Both of these utilities will allow you to import the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders from a DVD that is not copyprotected - such as like your camera's disc. Import the footage as DV streams and then import those in FC.
This is what I did, and it worked fine. The only problem you may have is getting the disc into your MB which is a slot-loading computer - you will need a disc ring that fits over the small DVD's to make it the size of a standard DVD - I forget what they're called... (Just be careful when doing that, make sure the disc doesn't fall apart in the drive...)
Or - if you can connect your camera to your MB via USB and see the contents of the disc, you'll be fine. Just tell DVDxDV "where" to find the VIDEO_TS folder.
Hope this helps.

  • Help: startup-config file open failed (Not enough space)

    Who can help me ? I've an uc500 and he stil running. Now i want to change something and want to save the configuration first. But the following message appears : startup-config file open failed (Not enough space)
    this is the output from a dir flash:

    OK.
    Try this:
    conf t
    service compress-config
    And see if that helps. 
    If not, see if you can tftp the running config off the router and TFTP it back to startup-config:
    copy run tftp
    copy tftp start
    Then you can try a reload and see if it is cured.
    I googled and found a few cases where alot of ACLs or NAT rules could cause MALOC errors (you would see those in your logs) when implemented and could manifest itself in this condition, which could be cured after the next reload, which is why I suggested that.
    Of course, dont be remote when you do this and only do it during a maintenance window.

  • IPhone 4 won't restore from backup - Not Enough Space

    My wife deleted some photos from her iPhone 4 by accident and we are trying to recover them. We hooked her phone up and tried to do a restore from backup but we are getting an error saying there is not enough space on the iphone. How can that be if the backup came from the computer? How do we get the photos back or how do we get iTunes to restore the backup? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    We called Apple and they told us to take it to the Genius bar and they would be able to help us restore the photos from the backup file that is on my wife's laptop. We haven't had a chance to take it in yet though. I'll try to post our results once we get in there.

  • Trying to restore iPhoto library from TimeMachine - "not enough space" even though there is

    Hi all, I'm trying to restore my iPhoto library from the timemachine backup which is roughly 200gb in size.
    Timemachine is on an external hard drive, of course.
    Main laptop hard drive has roughly 408gb left. Whenever I try to restore the 200gb iPhoto library backup from timemachine, it says I don't have enough disk space... I am so frustrated.. I don't want to lose all my photos from the past 5 years ..
    Please help.
    I am using the newest Lion, everything is updated.

    moving stuff to trash doesn't remove it from a drive. It puts it in a hidden .Trash folder on that drive. you have to empty trash to reclaim space. even easier would be to reformat the drive if you have a lot of stuff to erase.

  • Not enough space to compile JSP!

    Hi,
    I've installed WLS 7.0 on a Sun e250 (256MB RAM, 8GB HD). The server runs ok,
    console runs, web services run...
    But when I try to access the JSP of a given web app, the JSP can't compile. I
    get an IO.Exception: Not enough space.
    I've turned down the amount of memory being allocated to the JVM - initially it
    was ms32 mx200, now it's 32 and 64 respectively. This doesn't cure the problem
    however. Also, I've no other memory-hogging processes running.
    Surely my box is able enough to 7.0?
    Any ideas?

    Hi Roy.
    I found:
    If you receive the following error message received when compiling JSP files on
    a UNIX machine:
    failed: java.io.IOException: Not enough space
    try any or all of the following:
    Add more RAM if you have only 256M.
    Raise the file descriptor limit, for example:
    set rlim_fd_max = 4096
    set rlim_fd_cur = 1024
    Use the -native flag to use native threads when starting the JVM.
    from http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs61/notes/issues.html#1029041.
    Could you give a try?
    Thanks.

  • After clean install of Snow Leopard, Time Machine did not restore all files.  When I try to restore these files I get "Not enough disk space" error.  What do I need to do to get these important files back onto my Mac from my external hard drive??

    About 3 years old...pretty dated now I guess.  Am thinking I may just need to have it upgraded by a Mac tech.
    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • I need to delete files from my iMac hard drive, but not from my other devices (that are sync. to iCloud). How do I do this?? My Mac is a 24-inch Mid 2007 running on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help.

    I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
    Thanks for your help
    Robert

    You're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
    You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
    Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
    Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.

  • I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

    I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
    As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
    Any ideas / help ?

    And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

It does not have any code of it's own (although it may have some "commands" that are SQL Developer specific)
    SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
    The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

  • Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Do I need to upgrade both LR 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7 to import files from Canon 7dMark2?  or is LR 5.7 enough or is camera raw 8.7 enough

    Lightroom is a complete stand alone program and does not require you to have any other Adobe product on your computer.
    Adobe Camera Raw is a plugin for Photoshop CS and is not require by Lightroom nor is it used by Lightroom.
    However if you are using both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 /Photoshop CC and wish them to 100% compatible then you will need to update the ACR Plugin in Photoshop.
    Lightroom 5.7 will work fine with your Canon 7dMk2. (Its internal processing engine is the equivalent of ACR 8.7)
    To wit LR 5.7 is an alternative to ACR 8.7 Plugin in Photoshop, you do not necessarily need both.

    Did you try unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your sync settings and syncing?  If this doesn't remove them, try creating an empty folder on your PC, then selecting to sync this folder on the Photos tab and syncing your phone.  This should delete the existing photos prior to syncing the empty folder.
    Also, you can transfer these photos to your computer if you need to by using an app like PhotoSync.

  • I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone?  Thanks!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

  • HT5251 I CAN'T TO IMPORT FILES FROM MY COMPUTER....

    THANS for guidelines but how to import files from computer and not from camera? i always receive the error message...

    Sorry but we are not mind readers so ONLY know what you tell us
    Your profile says you have OS X version 10.6.8 - iPhoto 9.3 will not work with that OS - you do not tell us what version of iPhoto you have
    so once again the actual exact error message and a list of what you have tried and the actual versions of iPhoto and of the OS that you are running would be a big help
    Then if I post a question to apple support i need a solution otherways...
    It is not your English - it is simply not providing simple, basic information - we can not see your system and only know what you tell us - providing incorrect and incomplete information makes it impossible to give valid assistance
