Is there anyway to transfer individual files from my IMAC to my macbookpro?

Is there anyway to transfer individual files from my IMAC to my Macbookpro? I used migration assistant, but it doesn't let me select individual files, only the entire HD.

Get this, it's free & works great:

    Hi DrDeb, what file format is your resume in?  If it is a PDF, you can drag and drop the PDF in iTunes to your iPad and open it with iBooks. 
    If it is in a different format you can use iTunes File Sharing to drag and drop or use the Add button to import your file located on your PC.  You will need an app that can read the file format of your resume.

  • Best way to transfer certain files from old iMac to new (have Time Machine)

    Hey guys.  I'm going to be in the process of moving my data over from my old iMac to a new one.  I have been using Time Machine for a while w/ mostly Snow Leopard and Lion on my old iMac so everything is certinaly backed up via those means.  However, the new iMac will be on Mountain Lion and it's a fresh clean install that I really don't want to muck up with all the *crap* I've accumulated over the years.  So I've decided I only want to transfer the important files to me and I'll install any applications fresh later.  The files I really need are my extensive iTunes library, all my photos, all my documents.  My e-mail is on IMAP so I believe that will sync on its own. 
    Can the Time Machine migration assistant that pops up with a new computer at setup able to do these specific tasks without an all or none deal?  Or should I copy and paste out of Time Machine or maybe even the external drive itself.  I've had issues copying and pasting iTunes libraries in the past where it lost its entire architecture some how.
    Any advice appreciated

  • Is there a way to access files from an incomplete backup

    I returned the phone without realizing my backup was incomplete. Is there anyway to access the files from the incomplete backup? It shows 3.7 gigabytes were backed up.

    Thanks.
    I'm not sure if they recover optical media either. Will have to look more carefully at their site.
    But the fact that there are many PC optical media recovery programs that feature optical media recovery leads me to doubt that Data Rescue can do it.
    But like I say, I will look more carefully at their page and perhaps send them an e-mail to be sure.
    Appreciate the answer. It was helpful.

  • Is there anyway to pull the data from an iPhone/iTunes backup file?

    Is there anyway to pull the data from an iPhone/iTunes backup file so it can be read and imported into a DROID phone. Have a customer with a dead iPhone and they went out and purchased a DROID as a replacement and would like all their contacts to be imported into the DRIOD. Is there any software out there that can do this?

    Here is one that can at least get at the data: iPhone Backup Extractor
    There may well be others of better value. Google is your friend.
    You'll probably need to do something with the data you can extract, like add it to Outlook, rather than being able to send it directly to the driod.

  • How to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using Xcode?

    Alright, the question I have has to deal with how to link an app to a website to download files. How, or is it even possible to link individual picker view selections to download an individual file from a website or other location such as dropbox using xcode. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but if anyone can help or can send a link to a place that can, I would greatly appreciate it!

    I am not getting anywhere with deploying my application or
    applet.
    I have set up my bc4j project. It contains all my VO info,
    links, application module. (proj a)
    I then have another project with DbInfo in it(has all my rowset
    info), Multiple Frames, and my Applet.java file.
    Actually I have an Applet.java file and a Application.java file
    because I was seeing if both/either worked. Anyway they seem the
    same, except for that extra window that comes up when you run the
    applet.
    I follow the steps in the oracle directions (from earlier post).
    And all seems ok. But at ---->
    [*] Select the subdirectory under myhtml where your applet's HTML
    file
    is located, and enter the directory path of the 'staging'
    directory you
    created in step 3 above, if different from the default.</li>
    [*]Select the HTML files that JDeveloper created to run your
    applet.</li>
    [*]Select all of the Java source files in your project that make
    up the
    applet.</li>
    I have no HTML file associated with my applet, at least that I
    know of.
    So do I need to create one, or should it of been done
    automatically.
    Also, I trying to figure out what will be the best way to deploy
    my project. Applet or stand alone application is what my first
    choices have been so far. I have read that there is some issues
    with applets being served from a different server than the
    database. So a stand alone application was my front runner, but
    I haven't gotten either way to work yet.

  • How do you retrieve individual files from Time Machine?

    If a file original is lost or becomes corrupted, is there anyway to retrieve that individual files from Time Machine? If so, how?

    That's not what TM was doing. My search criteria was "by filename", however when I try to go backwards in TM, that limit is lost and it appears to be returning every file in the rolled-up weekly archive. This is especially odd, because I have since determined that the file was actually corrupted before TM was running, so there should be only one version of the file in TM's archives.
    No, it was a file sitting on my disk. Email was mentioned, because the fact that every email in every junk folder appears as a separate item to be restored, which is what triggers that little "too many files to show you at one time" issue.
    So your name search returned lots of junk mail items. I shudder to think what the file name was that you were searching for! <g>
    Also: you can tell Time Machine to ignore your junk mail if you've filtered the junk mail in Mail into a different folder/box.
    I figured that one out. I had used Spotlight to find the junk mailboxes, but couldn't, only the messages "labeled" junk. I had to use 'find' in Terminal.app to actually find Mail's junk & spam folders.
    Yeah, it's hard to find stuff when you don't know where it is <g>. In general, though, for these kinds of things, always think: "Library" which is where SO many pieces of programs are stored. Of course, there's lots of Library folders, so your first job is to decide: system or user level? Realizing more than one user account could have email setups, you can assume the path you need starts at the User level. So, you start at Home[UserName]/Library. Scanning that Library folder, you see a Mail folder (aha!). Checking out that folder, you might first suspect the Mailboxes subfolder, but you'll soon see that it has the mailboxes you've defined for sorting your mail; so, you continue to scan the Mail folder and you see a folder with your email address on it (or multiple folders, one for each of your emails). Open one of those and, ta da! You see something labeled junk.mbox.
    You've already found your Junk mail, of course, but I'm suggesting this as a general approach, especially for other readers of this thread, who might not want to touch Terminal.
    But, back to one of your initial problems: TM seemed to lose your search criteria. Do you think it was related to the high number of " hits"? Does it work for you otherwise, when you search for something less general?

    Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.

  • I recently purchased a new iMac with an external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  Comments?  Help?

    I recently purchased a new iMac with an 1 Terrabyte external drive.  I want to transfer my files from my old iMac to the external drive, but I'm afraid that doing that will compromise the use of the external drive on my new iMac.  I have not downloaded the external drive's software onto my old Mac because of this concern.  May I simply "drag and drop" the contents I want transferred to the external drive, then set up my new Mac with the drive and download there? or is there a better procedure?  Comments?  Help?

    If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

  • Which external hard drive do i need to transfer my files from my G4 with OS 10.3 to my new iMac?

    I have a Mac G4 PowerPC (with: processor speed of 1GHz, 1 MB L3 cache) running OS 10.3.9.  I want to transfer my files from the G4 to my iMac (.21.5/2.5QC/2X2GB/500GB/6750M) which is still in the box, for the last 3 years.  I believe it is running OS Mountain Lion.  All the Mac-compatible external Hard drives i have looked at are for OS 10.5 or 10.7 and above. Are there any external hard drives for sale that will work with my OS 10.3.9 to transfer files to my iMac? If not, how can i do this transfer of files?

    An external hard disk drive enclosure with FireWire400/800 ports, with others
    may be able to be used; but not as an adapter from one kind of port to another.
    The old iMac uses USB, perhaps as slow as 1.1; that won't work with newer
    USB3.0; but both the newer and older computers could use FireWire; or maybe
    ethernet for computer to computer.
    Newest models have Thunderbolt data ports, so adapter cables are needed.
    And then you'll need cables to match whatever combination you end up with.
    {You may have tried something or another, but not posted back to say if you did.
    And this thread is nearly two weeks old, now. I just happened to find it here.}
    For what you suggest, you may be able to find a suitable cable, perhaps FireWire
    or Ethernet, depending on the ports available and cables still applicable to both.
    Does newer iMac have FireWire ports? You could buy a FW400 to FW800 cable where
    the ends are different, if the newer machine has FireWire800. [The old one has FW400.]
    This would have to be equipped with the protruding connectors so each could make
    the connection between each computer's built-in ports. Not all cable sets do this.
    This would be the fastest way to copy content between machines, if FW 800 in newer mac.
    Port-powered external hard drives may be under-powered and fail to work, so that is why
    I suggest  enclosed HDD with its own AC power adapter that will not rely on FW or USB
    for the power to run the drive and the electronics inside the enclosure.
    example of external enclosures with multiple ports and its own power adapter:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    This is an image of the lesser model series with fewer ports. The FW800 and USB3.0
    are both backward compatible to their older counterparts, FW400 & USB2.0. But even
    so the old 1GHz iMac G4 with USB1.1, would not be able to use newer USB3.0; yet
    should be able to connect via FireWire400 to FireWire800 by special cable.
    If the iMac G4 is still working, that's a plus. Attempting to remove the old IDE/ATA HDD
    and access it outside the PowerPC iMacG4, is really a troublesome effort, one to avoid.
    But the PPC iMacG4 can be started in Target Disk Mode and accessed as a hard drive
    via FireWire cable, too. Then files can be seen as though the old Mac is an external HD.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!
