HT4889 transfer files between macs

i used the migration assistant to transfer files from my powerbook g4 to my mac mini but iPhoto and iTune files were not transferred. what do i need to do?

'Best"? in what way?
Do you want the fastest? easiest? cheapest?
Is this a one-time thing? or something you expect to do frequently/repeatedly?
How much data are we talking about? kilobytes? megabytes? gigabytes?
In all honesty the easiest way is via a USB drive - stick it in the iBook, copy the files to it, remove and insert in the iMac. Done.
Maybe easier than that is to boot the iBook in Target Disk Mode and attach it to the iMac via a FireWire cable (assuming your iMac has FireWire ports - you don't way which model you have). In this way the iBook will just mount on the iMac's desktop and you can copy the files at will.
Stepping up the complexity chain a little you could enable file sharing on the iBook and mount its disk over the network on the iMac (or vice versa). This is probably the slowest option but that might not matter if you only have a small amount of data to transfer.
There are other ways, too.

Android Samsung Epic how to transfer file between Mac and phone

I have an
Samsung Epic touch 4g, and my daughter Samsung Galaxy S2 but even after downloading Android's File transfer app my Imac is not recognizing it? I know Samsung and Mac are rivals for for the Love of God what can we do?

There is no official mac-to-Android support. See here

and here

Note that Novamedia, a good company from Germany, does not maintain its support for Android devices, which required iSync, the Apple utility included with the system until Snow Leopard. But it works with Lion and Mountain Lion via its plugins.
If you discover other solutions while browsing the net, please tell us, am also considering to purchase and Android phone, just for the sake of testing something new, even if iPhone rules.

How do I transfer files between mac using Thunderbolt cable?

I don't want to migrate the whole content from one mac to another. I don't want the hassle of setting on one mac as a target disk. I just want to be able to transfer the occasional file from my iMac to my MacBook Pro using the Thunderbolt cable.
I heard that Thuderbolt was superfast so I shelled out crazy money to buy a 2 meter piece of cable in the hope of making my life more productive. But it seems to be far from super straightforward!
Both Macs have Thunderbolt ports and are running Mavericks so it should not be too complicated. What am I missing?
I read a blog that you can connect the two Macs through the Network Preferences. Thunderbolt Bridge appears on both Macs - some times both status lights are red, sometimes one is yellow and one is red, sometimes both are yellow. Do both lights have to be at least yellow before data can be transferred? Or should they glow green?
Do I need to change the settings?

Be sure Ethernet is listed first in System Prefs > Network.
If it isn't, click the "gear" icon and select Set Service Order.

Can't Transfer Files between Macs

I originally thought the problem was with my new Airport Extreme N Gigabit router, but direct connecting both a PowerMac G5 and a Macbook Pro via cat5e ethernet, my transfer speeds over both FTP and AFP start out fast ( around 30 - 40 mb/s ), then tail off to nothing. As it's doing this, I can watch in the System Preferences as the Ethernet connection goes from green to red, sometimes hopping back and forth. Sometimes the transfer will resume only to stall again or stop completely.
I'm not having this problem when direct connecting using IP over Firewire 800. I've tried using the Finder, Transmit, and Flow for transfers, all yield the same results.
I'm running the latest everything on both machines and on the base station.
Any ideas?

Sounds like it's formatted for Windows. If that's the case it's read-only without 3rd party tools.
Use disk utility and format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled) for best use with the Mac.

Can't get files to trf from old MAC to new MAC

You can use Setup Assistant when you first turn on the new Mac and it'll work great using a Firewire cable. Or, you can use Target Disk Mode to simply drag files over:

Transfer files between ASA and a host across a VPN

Hello Guys,
I have a Remote Access VPN between an ASA and a Windows PC, the issue that I'm seeing is that I can't transfer files between the ASA and my PC across the VPN.
The first time I thought that because the size of the file and some issue with my ADSL service bandwidth could be the problem. However, I tried to copy the running config of the ASA to my PC and is also impossible. I received this error:
ASA# copy running-config tftp:
Source filename [running-config]?
Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.2 ----> This is the address of my PC over the VPN tunnel
Destination filename [running-config]? ASA-Config04032014
Cryptochecksum: f5a9f8cb 9f63b2e5 e8c99e36 9498cb50
%Error writing tftp://10.10.10.2/ASA-Config04032014 (Timed out attempting to connect)
Does anybody had this kind of problem before?
Thanks in advance,

I was wondering if I transfer files between a PC and Mac via Ethernet cable can I reverse the transfer from a Mac to a Pc?
Yes. Start Windows File Sharing on the Mac and then access it on the PC.

My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
Buying another computer will not change that.

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook.
Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this. So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up. Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
Thank you.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer. What exactly is OEM. Is it a full version? Can I transfer files between different computers?

@

OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

Share files between Mac and Windows in same iMac with boot camp

Hello,
I am new in using Mac and recently I buy a IMac 24" model.
I used to use PC a long time with a lot of old document.
I want to install Windows XP with boot camp.
But I also want to share my documents, music, video files between Mac and Windows in same iMac.
How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric and welcome to Discussions and the Apple world.
Mac OSX can read and write from Windows partitions (like the BootCamp Windows partition you are about to create) when using FAT32 as file system for Windows.
However with FAT32 you are limited to a partition size of 32GB.
Mac OSX can also read from Windows partitions that uses the NTFS file system, but it can not write to them unless you use a third-party helper like either Paragons NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ or NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
Windows can not even see or use a Mac OSX partition without additional help by MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/

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.

Transfering files between macs

I am trying to transfer files between my G4 powerbook and new macbook.
For some reason the powerbook will not reboot if I hold the "T" down after I clicked restart.
Any Suggestions?

tried starting it up in TDM, but would not start .
Tried it with cable connected and disconnected. Tried shutting it down completely, but nothing.
Seems to be a bug in it.

How to exchange big files between mac users through the internet?

How can we send and receive big files between Mac users (apart from Dropbox) ?

If you aren't on the same local network (which I assume you aren't), then the easiest solution is to use Google.
If you simply google "sending large files" you will get hundreds of suggestions/applications.
Ie Dropbox, Google, YouSendIt, FTP, etc
