I can not transfer anything from my mac to another disc

Hi I have a macbook pro with mountain lion. My problem is when I plug in a disc I can put films or other things on the mac but it will not let me put it on any other disc. What to do ? Thanks for the help!!!!!

Your external HDD may not be formatted properly that would allow for the MBP to write to it. It probably is formatted NTFS. To be compatible with a PC and Mac, format it FAT or EXFAT. For use with the MBP only, format it Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Ciao.

I can not transfer information from my Mac Mini to my iPhone five

Re syncing calendar from Mac Mini to iPhone 5: If I enter an event on my Mac Mini Calendar it does not transfer to my iPhone. It works fine from my iPhone to my Mac Mini. My i phone is using iOS 7.1.2. My Mini's op sys is 10.9.4. I have tried changing the settings on my phone, in my iCloud account and on my Mini. I've become a bit confused. Can you tell me what is wrong and how to fix it. Chuckle, or tell me it can't be done. Thanks, Bill Page

Can I transfer albums from one Mac to another, while preserving ...

Hi
I have two macs with different photos on each one, although many are the same. I have made several albums in folders on one mac with keywords, titles, and now wish to bring them over to my other mac, so I don't have to repeat all that work.
How can i do it and what happens when the same files are on both?
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can do that with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. Connect the two Macs so iPLM can view both libraries and you can either copy Events from Library A to LIbrary B and keep all metadata while excluding duplicates.
Or you can use iPLM to merge Library A and Library B into a new Library C again keeping all metadata and excluding duplicates.

Can't transfer files from one mac to another

I keep getting error messages saying the file is already there and there is nothing on the drive then after I dismiss the error message a file shows up that has 0kb and doesn't work. I am getting real frustrated with this situation.

I have run disk utility and fixed permissions on both computers. I connect via air port and a Linksys router. I have no problem connecting both computers and their files show up on both with no problem I can even go over to one computer and grab a file while on the other computer but if I try to save it back to the original location (on the other computer) I am told it can't do that. I used to be a permissions issues but now If I try to just drag a drop a file on the other computer (or save it there) I am told that it already exists (there isn't one there), do I want to replace it with the new file. I click replace and then am told that it can't complete this operation because the file is already in that location, it's not but after I clear the error message it shows up as a 0KB file that can not be opened because it is corrupted. I have reinstalled the snow leopard system software on both computers with no improvement.

Can you transfer apps from one Mac to another?

I have both a desktop Power PC G5 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) on which I sync my iPod Touch and have all my apps, movies etc. I also have an Intel MacBook Pro running Leopard (with no link to the iPod Touch). If I buy an iPad, how do I sync the apps/movies I've either paid for or downloaded free? I see in the tech spec for the iPad says that it is only compatible with Mac 10.5 onwards. So it possible to transfer the apps from one machine (desktop) to the other (laptop) and then sync with the iPad, and what do you have to do? Thanks, in advance, for your help on this one.

You go to your original Mac and Deauthorise the computer, then you go to your nw computer and re-authorise it with he same iTunes account and you should be able to download all your Apps again for free.
Syncing will of course delete all the media content on the iPad and replace it with the media content from the newer computer so you may wish to move your library at the same time.

Can i transfer software from one mac to another

If I install Final Cut Pro X to my MacBook Pro, will I be able to transfer the program to an iMac later down the road?

It's a simple drag and drop procedure with just the FCP X application in the Apps folder, exactly the same as copying any other file/folder.
No "hidden" files like legacy FCP.

How can I transfer photos from my mac to my iPad?

How can I transfer photos from my mac to my ipad?

If you are have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac), which might make it easier to navigate.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders (or iPhoto ro Aperture albums) to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad (unless you want to remove all synced photos), instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Hi, shoaib.
You wrote: "also in disk utility i get this
"invalid file or directory ID found"
"the volume HD needs to be repaired"
"Error: the underlying task reported failure onn exit""The disk directory of your hard drive is corrupted. This is the source of your problems.
If you cannot afford either of the third-party utilities:
• Alsoft Disk Warrior 3.x (DW3)
• Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.1.x (TTP4).
then you will need to follow the instructions in "Disk Utility reports 'Underlying task reported failure' when repairing a volume."
Specifically, given that your attempt to repair the disk using Disk Utility from your Tiger DVD failed, there are no other solutions available for this problem other than:
• Attempting repair with the third-party disk utilities cited above.
• Backing up whatever data can be saved, then reinstalling Mac OS X with an Erase and Install.
See the article I cited above for details. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
To avoid having to reinstall in situations like this, as funds permit you should consider investing in:
• Implementing a comprehensive backup and recovery solution. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
• Alsoft DiskWarrior and TechTool Pro.
Good luck!

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.
