I need to transfer files from a friends iPad to my desktop. Is this possible? If so, how?

Depending upon what the files are - The easiest way to do it - in my opinion - would be to email the files from your friend's iPad to you. You can't sync to another computer and email should work just fine. You email the files from within the app in which the file is saved or created. Most apps will have a tool icon or an arrow icon at the top if you tap on - it will give you an option to email the file

I need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it

i need to transfer files from my old power pc os x 10.2.8 to my new mac 2.7 i5 os x 10.7.5 how do I do it?

I have been asking this question to several people also. I have used the program Super Duper to backup my old PowerPC G5 Mac to an external hard drive. The answer I received is as follows:
When you first start the new Mac, you'll be asked if you want to "copy from another Mac". Point this at the old Mac, or at the backup volume created by a full "Backup - all files" of that Mac, made with Erase, then copy or Smart Update. That'll automatically bring in your applications, account information and data.
Of course, any "copy protected" or "activated" applications will likely need to be reactivated: after all, it's a new Mac. Other than that, though, you should be ready to go on the new computer.
I have an old computer at work and a new Mac at home. I decided to test this by bringing my backup home to see if my new iMac computer would read it. It worked! I feel confident I can now transfer my old backup information to the new work computer.

HT1752 I need to transfer files from an 'original' iMac to a brand new one. The old Mac has no keyboard or mouse. Could it support a current wireless keyboard and mouse?

Assuming that "original" means a G3/CRT iMac, not wireless. The G3 iMacs didn't have Bluetooth. The good news, though, is that any standard USB keyboard and mouse will work with them, even the ones designed for Windows that you can pick up for ten bucks or so.

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.

How to transfer files from iMac to iPad 2

What's the best way to transfer files from iMac to iPad, like a Keynote presentation?

It's probably not as "simple" as using DropBox, but it's there. When in the Apps section of iTunes, just scroll down to the bottom where there is a listing of installed apps that can use the iTunes data exchange. Documents available on the computer can be synced TO the device while those available on the device can be syned TO the computer.

Transfer files from Pages in iPad

How do you transfer files from Pages on iPad to a mac computer. Apple "iTunes help" hasn't got a clue how to describe it??

Make sure
Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data on and Pages is on as well.
Then things will sysnc through the icloud for you with no additional effort.
Once that is done you simply save or open from cloud.

It isn't an issue if you still have the backup, either on your computer or in the iCloud. You cannot restore to a backup that you have deleted.

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro? I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

My hard drive fried, and I need to transfer files from iPod to My Music

I've seen articles on transferring music from an old computer to a new one when you still have the old computer. But, my hard drive completely fried, and I need to know how to transfer the files from my iPod to the new hard drive. I thought I saw an article that actually contained a video on how to do this, but now I can't find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I need to transfer files from a PowerMac G4 to a PowerMac G5, how do I get both computers to read MY Passport drive?

I have formatted the My Passport drive as a MS-DOS (FAT) but the G4 which is running on Mac OS 10.2.8 can not see the drive on the desktop. The G5 (Mac OS 10.6.8) has no problem reading the drive. I have about 7 GB of data that I need to transfer from the G4 to the G5. How do I format the My Passport drive so that both computers can read the drive? Is it possible?

A faster alternative is to connect the macs with a firewire cable and use Target Disk Mode. No external drive needed.

What exact FW cable do I need to transfer files from PowerPC iMac to new iM

My husband bought a Belkin 9-pin to 4-pin 800/400 cable which is what guy at Apple Store sold him but it doesn't work.
Need to use PowerPC G5 as Target Disk Hard Drive to transfer files to new Intel iMAC & would appreciate someone telling me specifically what part on Apple Store website to order.
Thanks,

You would need the 9-pin to 6-pin Firewire cable:

EDIT: the 9-pin to 9-pin Niel linked to would also work if you have the current or recent iMac that has a FW800 port.
