HT4796 I can't find the files after complete!! help

Hi, I followed the directions several times to transfer my PC files to my new MackBook Pro....says complete...but I can't find the files...any idea what I did wrong? Thanks!

Check your user accounts to see if Windows created a new one. I've read it does when migrating. Check for the files in that account, if it did create a new one.

  • Where can i find the files after backing-up in itunes? i'm using windows 7. thanks!

    i cant locate my back-up files after running a back-up in itunes. please help.

    Okay...I have some more information and perhaps we are getting closer.  On the 250GB, first I went into that disk and used Disk Utilty to re-format it once using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then a second time, zeroing it out. I did a screen shot to review if needed, and both times it looked perfect...249GB available.  Then I went into the Time Machine preferences to get ready to backup again, and it had not excluded the other external 120GB with iTunes so I excluded it. I may has previously, never noticed in that screen that it takes a bit of time for it to calculate the information to save.  I may have just clicked on it quickly without reviewing it first.  Today I did, and gave it time to calculate.  At one point the actual 250GB itself, showed up and I excluded it too like the 120GB.  After it finished, the calculations are still it wrong - claiming it has a 200GB backup when the iMac either contains 150GB (based on when I do Get Info) on it or from OmniDisk which calculated about 100GB.  I have not allowed Time Machine to do a backup yet, until this discrepancy can be clear.
    One thing that I thought I had seen or reviewed previous on the Time Machine settings was my home folder - I could be wrong but wanted to mention that.  Another little tidbit to ponder an well is that I have a files of icons that I use for the Hard Disks, and a few folders where I Get Info on the Icon and on the destination and just cut and paste.  I did that today to the 250GB after zeroing, but while I was in the Time Machine settings the change was deleted and neither the manufactures icon was there nor mine, and it has the default blue-green one the software uses.  I know, because my sister's is that way on her system-unchanged.
    Feedback?

  • HT4796 I Can't find the files transferred to my mac from my PC  through migration assistant

    Hi All,
    I am just learning the ropes as regards tha Macbook Pro. I transfered my data from my windows PC to the Mac through the Migration Assistant. And Now, I can't locate where it was transfered to. Please where do I locate these files? Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Migration Assistant creates a new user with the migrated files. Go to  > Log Out, and log in the other user, so you will access to your files.
    This can be voided if you transfer your files during the initial setup. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html

  • When opening any website I get a message that windows can't find the file, after which Firefox opens the site. Why do I get the windows message?

    Using XP. I do not use Explorer, only Firefox. The windows message I get does not prevent Firefox from opening. This only happens when I first open Firefox. Once open, it does not happen again unless I close Firefox.

  • I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

    I can not export photos onto DVD. After I click export, close iPhoto, click Finder, At this point I can't find the file to burn. (copy to be used on Windows) Sorry for the lame question....new to mac

    So it sounds like you are trying to burn a DVD with photos on it so the photos can be either transferred to or displayed on a Windows PC, is that correct?
    For the purposes of this I am going to assume you are using iPhoto '11.
    Gather the photos you want to burn to DVD in one album in iPhoto. This is not absolutely necessary but it sure makes things easier for me.
    Select that album, then go to the File menu and select Export...
    In the dialog that shows up, select the File Export tab. Select the setting you want to use for export. Click the Export button.
    Another dialog will show up. Set the location to Desktop and click the New Folder button. Name the folder something nice and descriptive and click the Create button.
    Click the OK button. Quit iPhoto as the rest of this work will be done in the Finder.
    You will now have a folder on your desktop with that nice descriptive name. Find it and select it. Go to the File menu and from it select Burn "Descriptive folder name" to Disc...
    Insert a blank DVD when prompted.
    Let the finder complete the work and eject the disc afterwards.
    That's it. Best of luck.

    because my macbook went to sleep, my hard disk is full. What happened? Where can I find the file i need to erase

    It's hard to tell -- just going to sleep shouldn't have caused a problem.  Something else may be going on.

  • I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

    i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
    okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
    Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
    i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

    can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

  • I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto try to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    I just got a new Mac Mini, and now when I try to import photos into Lightroom, iPhoto ties to load them first, then Lightroom can't find the files.  Big problem.  What to do?

    Simple:
    File -> Export to get your photos out of the iPhoto Library. In the Export dialogue you can set the kind to Original and you'll get back exactly what you put in.
    Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    Once exported, you can then trash the iPhoto Library - just drag it from the Pictures Folder to the trash and empty it.
    After that, if you're entirely neurotic about it, just put the iPhoto app in the trash and empty it.

  • Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
    Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
    It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
    '''Note:'''
    Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

    Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.

    Do you have any idea how to get rid of this annoying pop-up? I searched for that file name on Google, but nothing came up.
    This only started happening after the Scareware program, Open Cloud Security, infected my computer a few days ago. My wife got into my registry to remove Open Cloud, but now I am left with this annoying Firefox problem. I have to close the annoying window TWICE to get back to Drudge.
    This happens 6 times per hour.

  • Can't find mp4 file after changing media kind setting to podcast

    I recently imported some home videos into iTunes.  The default "media kind" is movies so I changed to podcast b/c I didn't want to mix home videos with movies when surfing through lists on my Apple TV.  After chaning the media kind setting now I can't find the file in iTunes.  Any idea on how I can update the media kind info so I can see the file again in iTunes on my Windows PC?

    maybe the features of the usb port is controlled by the routers setup page most routers have some ip address you type into a browser and login to the router to set them up try that
    because some routers have usb for external hd some for printers some only for firmware updates (like the Apple TV (which of cause are not routers but have usb connector for the sole purpose of upgrading a crashed firmware))

  • Help:Can not find the file in jar!

    Hello everyone:
    I build a project using Netbeans 5.0 and make a jar file with it...
    The code in the project as follows will throw an exception described that it can not find the file named datasource-config.xml
    String dataFilePath = getClass().getResource(dataFile).getPath();
    //System.out.println("filepath:"+dataFilePath);
    InputStream input = new FileInputStream(dataFilePath);
    when I run the project with the main() function as an entry it works perfectly and output:
    filepath:/C:/projects/java_project/search/build/classes/com/cn/wxjt/lucene/config/datasource-config.xml
    But when I compressed the project with jar and run it , it will show:
    filepath:file:/C:/projects/java_project/search/dist/search.jar!/com/cn/wxjt/lucene/config/datasource-config.xml
    there is a (!) between search.jar and /com/cn/wxjt...
    I dont know why I generate a ! symbol in the file path... Is it cause the exception->
    java.io.FileNotFoundException: file:\C:\projects\java_project\search\dist\search.jar!\com\cn\wxjt\lucene\config\datasource-config.xml
    If you have any idea, plz tell me.
    Thank you and best wishes to you !
    :)

    If the file you want to read is in your jar file, use
    getClass ().getResourceAsStream
    (relative_path_file_name)Hope that help,
    Jackhey jack i want to open the file as new File
    i m using this.getClass().getResource("resource/backend.xml");
    the resource is the directory inside the jar file.

    the jar file is in the WORK directory
    URL : jar:file:/home/neeraj/WORK/show.jar!/resource/backend.xml
    now when i creates new File using the url.getFile() method the file does not exist.
    although the same programs runs well when i uses the InputStream
    so plz tell me cant I create a new File from the above method????
    thanks in advance
    with regards

  • Move all my music to another folder but Itunes can't find the files!

    I have all my music on my desktop in small folders for each artist.
    But now i don't have room anymore, because i have to much music.
    So i want to move it all in to a folder called "Music". But when i do that
    Itunes can't find the files, and i have to search for each file, to find the new location instead of the desktop. How do i move my music more easily? So i don't have to synchronize it all in again, with the right album covers and that..
    Please, need some help here!

    You need to open your preferences file in iTunes and click on advance then select the location of where you put the folder.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
