I have Mac OS 9 on a flash drive. How can I transfer it to an OS X computer?
Do I just drag the System Folder over? I don't want to partition the hard drive, though.
Yes, just drag it over - no cloning required with OS 9.
However - do not expect your iBook G4 to be able to boot to that copied OS 9. All iBook G4 models can not boot to any version of OS 9.
Provided that the OS 9 system folder is for OS 9.2, 9.2.1, or 9.2.2 and is a complete OS 9 System Folder (that is, was bootable on the original machine it came from), it should work fine as Classic under OS X 10.4.x.
If the OS 9 System Folder is one originally copied from an OS 9 Install CD, it will not work as Classic.

I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

You will need Snow Leopard which is available as a retail disk for $29 from the Apple store or online resellers. Make sure your Mac meets the system requirements; 1 GB RAM is the absolute minimum - 2 GB would be better.

How do I transfer 30 GB of stuff, mostly text documents, bookmarks and a few hundred photos from a MacBook model 1,1 in the black case, purchased in (2007?) running Leopard 10.5.8 with a 667 bus, 2 GB, 256 GB to a MBP 13" Retina running Yosemite 10.10.1? Using Migrate is out. Discovered after I bought it that the Seagate Plus Backup for Mac does not work with 10.5.8. OnetoOne recommends backing up my data before I do that, which seems like a good idea. Have a 801.11 n Time Capsule that also isn't working so that is not presently an option. Thank you.
The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes. -
I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.
There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

I just purchased a new computer. My old computer has several "libraries" that have been saved. How do I know how to transfer the data most efficiently?
The progress for some games will transfer since some games synce progress to a cental server. For other games you will have to have the backup of the old iPod.
You can restore from backup or access the backup. See:
How to transfer game saves between iOS devices, without iTunes, and without jailbreaking | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
If you have acces to the old iPod yu can make a backup by connecting the iPod to the computer and right click on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup. -
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8. How can I upgrade to Snow Leopard?
I can't find any information here.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
ThanksYour machine is likely too dated to run 10.8 at all , or if it does will run slow.
It won't run your PPC based software or hardware drives for external hardware.
10.6 will run your PPC software and likely is best for that machine performance speaking, Software Update to 10.6.8 and stay there.
You better do your research first.

I would also like to transfer all my saved passwords if possible. I want to go to the store ASAP, but I need to do this before I leave--I would appreciate some quick help. Thanks!!The user data is stored in the profile folder. You can copy the data manually by copying the contents of the profile folder, for details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup Profile backup - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] or [[Backing up your information]].
There are some add-ons and utilities that can make this process easier. The first one is the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109/ FEBE] add-on which can be used to copy a profile. Another option is the free [http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ MozBackup] utility. -
I need some help on being able to sync my computer with my Iphone. It says I can do up to 5 computers and that I already have my limit. Well I have a new computer and don't have any of those 5 computers any more. What can I do?
If you don't have any of those computers you will have to email iTunes store support to reset your account. If you have just one of them, open iTunes, go to the Store menu, and choose to deauthorize all computers on the account.
