If I purchase a Mac can I convert my PC files saved on a backup to my Mac?

If I buy a Mac, can I convert my PC files, folder, saved on a backup to my Mac

Did you use a backup program?  The backup program could have saved the data in some funny way.
If you copied them  with Windows copy  & paste or drag & drop,  you will be able to read the files on the mac.  You can run Windows on the new Macs.
What type of files are we talking about?  Microsoft has office for the Mac. Word, Excel, Powerpoint files are supported.

  • Can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    can you convert a favourites file from windows to a bookmark file for mac?

    I can't answer for Internet Explorer but you should be able to export Bookmarks from FireFox. If you can't export from IE you may be able to import from EI to FireFox first.
    In FireFox, menu BookMarks>Organize Bookmarks, then in the pane which opens, menu File>Export (that's how it works on Linux so Windows should be broadly similar). The result should be an html file.
    You may be able to import this into Safari on your Mac; certainly you should be able to import it into FireFox and perhaps from there to Safari if necessary.

  • Can I convert m4a (AAC) files back to mp3?

    I have like 60 something songs that I want to fit all on one cd and that would definately not happen in AAC so I want to convert each song into mp3.

    Depending on what bitrate you have set the AAC is about the same size as an MP3.
    Do you perhaps have AAC confused with Apple Lossless, which is much larger?
    But anyway, yes you can convert it. Go to iTunes preferences>Advanced (iT6)>importing and set the "import using" to MP3. Click OK
    Now go back and select the song(s) and from the menu bar go advanced>convert to MP3.
    The song will be duplicated, one AAC version and one MP3 version. Delete the one you don't want, or keep both to compare the size difference.
    If your talking about purchased songs, you can't convert them to MP3. You have to burn an audio CD first and then rip it as MP3.
    Just remember that converting a lossy format to another lossy format will reduce the quality. If it is AAC it probably isn't worth converting to MP3 if your only reason for doing so is to save space, because there is not much difference in the two.

  • How can I convert an odg. file to a pdf. file?

    Hello, how can I convert an odg. file to a pdf. file?
    When choosing Drawing as template in OpenOffice, it saves projekt as odg. which apparently gives difficulties compared to pdf.

  • How can I convert an .m1v file for my MacBook to be able to play it?

    Hi!
    How can I convert an .m1v file for my MacBook to be able to play it?
    I tried numerous apps from the app store, but they failed
    Thanks!

    Hello:
    Rather than try to buy a box, I suggest you take the computer to a FedEx or UPS store.  They will wrap and safely package the device for a reasonable cost (I have shipped two iMacs this way).

  • How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

    Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
    I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs.  I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format.  I guess that's not true with M4A versions. 
    I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense.  I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

  • Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

    Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

    Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
    1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
    2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
    3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

  • How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS file

    How can I convert a PDF file in a CVS format in order to download this in a budgetprogramme on my computer?

    Try converting your PDF file to an Excel (.xlsx) file with the ExportPDF service.  You can then use Excel to save that file as a .CSV file.  ExportPDF does not output .csv

    How can I convert a .pdf file to an Indesign CC file which is editable?

    Hi btacme,
    I understand there are some third-party utilities that will allow you to convert a PDF to an InDesign file. But, as PDF is intended to be a final format, Adobe doesn't offer this capability. Are you unable to make the edits that you need by opening the PDF in Acrobat?
    Best,
