IMac and Moto Razor file transfer

Ok i wasn't to shure on were I should have posted this but here it goes. I have a iMac G3 400 10.3.9 and a recently upgraded my cell to a V3R Razor . Bluetoothing video files is not problem ( I have about 3 hrs of Bugs Bunny and Family Guy on it in MPG4 plays great too when I'm at lunch or on break ) My question is this when I use the USB to download my video files on my phone another file is placed on it with it ( it's like only 80 bytes but still it shows up in the menu and if I try to delet it I can't threw the phone ) It only comes when I download useing the USB , if I bluetooth it no extra file is placed on it . Also when I use the bluetooth menue to search the files on the phone I see the extra files and can't delet them either . If I use the USB the don't show up only in bluetooth and on the phone can you see the extera files . Now here is the kicker when I plug it into the USB on my Windoze pc they show up and I can delet the extra files with no problem . Any ideas??? Bluetooth transfer is 30kb a second usb is much faster .

I am certainly no expert but I think the extra files are just OS X system files the phone and the Windows computer don't recognise, so they show them as these extra files. When I attach various USB sticks I have to my Windows 98SE PC (it's faster than Vista lol) the same happens. My guess is that, when attached via USB, your mobile phone is just seen as a "volume" and appears on the desk top as such, so the Mac puts system files on it, DS store etc. but if you connect to your mobile with Bluetooth it does n't appear as a volume as you're just making a mutual exchange device to device. Personnally I am no longer bothered by the extra files I see when attaching my USB sticks to a PC, if I delete them on the PC they are recreated when it's been on a Mac again. The PC can't see the colour coding I use either but I keep on colouring files anyway.... In either case I would n't worry, Windows have similar system files too, hidden by default on PC and Mac, they take up little space, you have to choose between the speed of USB and "tidiness" of Bluetooth. That's my guess anyway

My iPHone is connected to my iMac, and I want to transfer files from iMace to IPhone. Instructions say to go to iTunes, look under Devices for my Device. I do so, and no devices are listed. How do I get iTunes to recognize my iPhone?

Make sure your iMac is on 10.6.8 or higher and your iTunes is up to date. If it is, then restart your computer, open iTunes, then plug in your device. If it still is not showing up, follow the steps listed here: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

check the lower right corner of the iTunes window
if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

no.
that's expected behavior.

I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
Thanks Dave

8900 to imac bluetooth connection for file transfer

Hello, I have a brand new curve 8900 javelin and a new IMAC. Both devices can see each other and I can manage to get a green connection light however it only lasts a few seconds and then disconnects. Can someone please tell me how to overcome this problem?
thank you

That's really weird, the different ways that the providers cripple the same phone. I do not need any plug-in for BT iSync but I can't do file transfer with BT or with USB (I do have a microSD card installed). Unfortunately, I have no use for iSync. I can also use the phone to provide Internet access for my Mac but the Mac is a desktop and a hardwired connection makes more sense.
The USB connection is really frustrating. Profiler knows that the phone is present and the phone knows that the Mac is present (the battery does charge) but otherwise it's as if it's not even connected.
I am able to put the card into a card reader and transfer files that way. I don't mind all that much but it's not easy getting the card out of the phone.
By the way, there are several RAZR versions. Is your "V3XX" the same phone as my "V3m?"

Imac (with dead screen) file transfer to macbook

Hello
I recently bought a replacement macbook. my imac's screen one night slanted diagonally and froze and when turned off and on the screen never came back. i tried hooking up external monitors to see if it was just a screen problem, unfortunately no. based on different tests and the type of imac i believe that the files are still safe and secure, the computer turns on fine but i have no way of seeing the folders and files, like the migration assistant. i have no idea what to do and i would prefer to do it myself than have apple charge me money for it.
thanks

I'm not sure what you want but if you want to transfer the files off the imac you should be able to use migration assistant. reboot the imac and hold "t" at the chime. this will boot it in target mode. connect it to the new macbook and start migration assistant on the macbook (it's in /Applications/Utilities). this will let you transfer user data and applications to the macbook.

Leopard Upgrade and Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC

Loss of File Transfer to Windows PC - I successfully upgraded my MacBook to Leopard with the following exception where I was previously able to transfer files to a Windows PC. I can still connect to the PC but unable to see the folders in "finder" or move files over to it. I can still do this however from my other Mac (iMac) which is still on Tiger. What would the upgrade have done to prevent file transfer being done?
Thanks Neil

I had similar problems with browsing Windows shares... Initially I performed an Upgrade installation of Leopard. A temporary work-around was to use the IP address of the Windows computer.
For example (in the Connect To Server dialog) use:
smb://<IP address>/sharename
Obviously, you'll have to determine the local network IP for your Windows computer and know the name of the share. You can do this by opening up a CMD window and issuing the following command at the prompt:
ipconfig/all
Hope that wasn't too "technical".
Note: What fixed the whole problem for me was to perform a clean installation of Leopard... Now all the Windows computers on the network appear under Shared in the Finder sidebar.

Lync 2010 Mobile Client for IOS and Android - Is File Transfer Possible

I'm seeking confirmation that File Transfer is possible in a chat session with a Lync Mobile client running on IOS or Android. Can anyone provide further information as none of the client feature lists state it one way or the other?
Many thanks
Ivor

The Mobile Lync client can't share files, see the Client Comparison Table: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh691004.aspx

IMac wont boot after file transfer from Windows laptop

Hi folks,
I am looking for some advice if anyone can help?
Sunday evening I transferred asome data off an old knackered Windows laptop via my home network. During the transfer, my 2013 iMac 27" started to really slow down and became unresponsive (i tried to cancel the data transfer and restart). In the end I have to force shut down by holding the power button in. Now, upon reboot of the machine, it won't get passed half way of the progress bar - and I've left it an hour at the most and given up.
I have attempted a verify and repair in Disk Utility, and even though I have managed to Verify Disk and Repair Disk, they took an absolute age to get through - I was chatting to an Apple Customer Care person, and they told me to chat back once it was done, which was probably 20-30mins after I started.
I then went on to Verify Disk Permission, which I left running for around 2 hours until it finished, and then moved onto Repair Disk Permissions, of which I cancelled after about 4 hours worth of it doing not a lot!
When I try and boot, it gets to a stage where the hdd is making a repetitive noise, as if it is stuck in a loop somehow.
I am running Yosemite 10.10.1, and have reset the PRAM to no avail.
I am fearing the worst tbh, but my main concern is the data on the drive - any tips on how to attempt to recover that data - or to fix the drive itself?
Thanks
Andy

The correct way to restart in Safe Mode is when you hear the "Bong" sound hold down and continue to hold down the Shift key until a progress bar appears. Here are Apple's instructions on how to correctly restart in Safe Mode.
I would recommend that you also look over Gray screen appears during startup.

I want to buy a new 27in iMac and I want to transfer all my photo and music from my old iMac to the new one. Is this possible?

I am going to purchse a new 27in iMac. I have a 21 inch single core intel chip iMac purchased in 2006. I want to transfer my music from iTunes (3600 songs) and my photos from iPhoto (28000). Can this be done without using an external hard drive? I backed up all my songs from iTunes but I have yet to understand how they show up on the hard drive. Before you all criticize me, I am a 72 year old lady who is limited in my ability to understand technical data but have been able to use a computer for some time now.

IMac and MBAir movie file sharing

Hello,
I created an iMove project on my MBA and want to move it to my iMac. Any idea how to do that? I have been able to move it but it moves it as a movie NOT a project, so I can't edit things like the music.
I've seen replies about putting files on a USB drive etc, but I would rather work on my local machines or my NAS vs hanging a drive off of the machine.
Any thoughts?

I would try the following (but I have no way to test it):
Use iMovie to move your event files to an external USB drive. Do this from within iMovie.
Now close iMovie. Find your iMovie Project files on you internal hard drive. Move them to the USB drive using the finder. Take note if the exact directory structure where the project files are located. You will need to put the project files on the same directory structure on the iMac.
Now plug the USB drive into the iMac. Move your project files to the appropriate directory. Open iMovie. iMovie should see the Event files which are still on the USB drive. Now you can move the Event files to your internal hard drive from within iMovie.
