Moving iphone data from mac to windows

My ex gfs iphone is currently synced with my mac, all her music, apps, contacts etc are on here. I've managed to copy all of the music over to her windows pc just by copying the files.
Does anyone know of any ways I can copy the other data? mainly the contacts and apps (she does have her own itunes account, will she be able to download the apps shes bought again for free if we cant get the apps across?)
any help much appreciated.
cheers

Go to Google and do a search, there are about a million articles on how to do this.

  • Moving 10GB Quicktimes from Mac to Windows.

    Any suggestions on how to move very large Quicktimes between non-networked Macs and Windows 7 PCs? Is the file limit still 4GB for FAT32 disks?

    Is the file limit still 4GB for FAT32 disks?
    I'm afraid so, Navarro.
    It would involve shelling out some cash ... but if you're generally moving from one Windows 7 PC to a group of Macs, then installing MacDrive on the PC might be one way around the problems:

    (Then you'd be able to move the files about on a Mac-formatted externalHD to and from the Windows box.)
    Other folks with more experience in that sort of thing: please feel free to leap in with alternative suggestions for Navarro.

  • Need Help moving from mac to Windows

    I did search the forum, but could not find it, so I thought I will ask.
    I have to move from PowerBook to a Windows XP machine. (I see lots of threads moving from mac to windows but not otherway around).
    How do I move the iTunes music. I want to keep the ratings, don't want to redo the ratings for 1000+ songs.
    If it was previously asked and answered, please point me towards that thread.

    Folks,
    Sorry for the redundant post. I had problem doing this, and was able to make it work. The trick was renaming the file iTunes Library to iTunes Library.itl (with the extension).
    Once I did that, it works well.
    Thanks

  • If i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

    if i uninstall windows 8.1 from my macbook pro, will i lose all the data from mac partition as well?

    Depends on how you do it
    If you create a partition with Boot Camp and format that partition correctly
    Then install Windows your data should not be touched
    If you do anything wrong or there is any mishap during the whole procedure you could lose everything
    Hence the reason I suggest that you backup first

  • IPhone Synce from Mac to PC

    My friend upgraded to the 3G and gave me his original. I have a few questions. First the iPhone was last synced to a Mac and I have a PC. What do I have to do to use it as a Touch? I am a current AT&T user,can I activate from home?

    Iphone is not Mac or windows specific. You can use on both, without doing anything.
    "What do I have to do to use it as a Touch?"
    Nothing. It will work as a touch without a SIM card. You cannot update or restore without an active SIM, however.
    " I am a current AT&T user,can I activate from home?"
    You will need to get a new SIM from AT&T, then you can activate the iphone.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.

  • How to copy data from mac to external HD Drive

    How do i copy data from mac book to an external hard disk drive?

    Click on the Desktop area (the area where there are no open windows or Dock)
    Look at the menu at the top next to the small Apple, it should say Finder
    Click on the File men and select New Finder Window
    Click on the File men and select New Finder Window (or stick in a disk, a USB, connect a hard drive and double click on the icon that appears on the Desktop)
    Grab the Window by the top area by clicking and holding the mouse button down so both are side by side.
    Click on the sidebar or open folders on the first window to get to where your files are
    Click on the sidebar or open folders on the second window to get to where your destination is going to be
    Click and drag the files or folder from one window to the other
    If this occurs between volumes, it will copy
    If this occurs on the same volume, it will move them
    If you want to copy on the same volume, use the Finder > File > Duplicate and move the copy

  • Converting file names from Mac to Windows.

    I am an Apple tech at a university that uses both PCs and Macs. We have found that we run into some problems when transferring a user's data from one platform to the other.
    When transferring lots of files, what do you experienced Mac techs use for safely converting file names from Mac to Windows?
    From Windows to Mac?
    We've tried NameCleaner and ended up with bad results.
    Please let me know if there is something good out there for these conversions.
    ---Timothy

    The problem looks like this:
    1. User wants to switch from Mac to Windows.
    2. We back up the data from his Mac to a server (an X-Serve RAID).
    3. We log into the server from Windows.
    4. We try to pull his data from the server.
    During this data transfer, it quits with an error stating that it can't finish copying the data. I wish I had the exact text, but I don't. It does this repeatedly, and stops on different files from different locations.
    In essence, without "cleaning" the Mac file names, data transfer to Windows cannot successfully complete. It quits on certain Mac file names. In the past, NameCleaner has worked sometimes, but now we have had some issues with NameCleaner (which don't matter in this discussion). The goal is to find a better solution than NameCleaner.

  • Is transfer from Mac to Windows via external HD possible?

    I have been using my mums macbook pro and now I'm moving to town for school and only have a HP laptop can I transfer my music over to an external HD from mac to windows and authorise as well? I will visit often and want to have my purchased itunes music on both. If I buy a song on my HP will it update the mac one automatically or do I need to use my external HD every time? And lastly if it does update automatically, what about music not purchased on itunes, will it transfer those as well? I am a mac noob so please keep your answers easy
    Thanks any help would be appreciated.

    Yes it is possible.
    Connect the external drive to the MacBook Pro
    Copy the entire iTunes folder from the MacBook Pro to the external drive.
    Open the iTunes folder on the external drive
    Rename the file iTunes Library as iTunes Library.itl
    Delete the files iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library Genius.itdb
    Connect the external drive to the HP laptop
    Install iTunes if you haven't already, close it if running
    Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library
    Click Choose, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and select the file iTunes Library.itl
    Authorise the laptop to your iTunes account
    If you are based in the US then music purchases made on one machine can be set to automatically download to your other libraries and any iOS devices. The rest of the world, at present, is limited to downloading apps and iBooks purchased from the store. Coming soon is iCloud which will, for a fee, also allow non-store-purchased music to be backed up and synced to your computers or iOS devices via the cloud.

  • How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format??

    How do I change my Ipod from mac to windows format?? My Imac is not working at the moment, but I want to use my Ipod on my PC. How do I get my Ipod(mac formated) to get work on my PC??

    Use iTunes on the PC to restore the iPod, or install XPlay on the PC without changing the format. Restoring the iPod will erase everything on it.

  • Copying files from Mac to Windows-invalid file names

    Unfortunately, my boss likes Windows more than Macs, so we have puchased some new Dell computers to replace older G4 Macs.
    I'm having trouble copying existing files from a Mac (OS 10.4)to the shared drive on the Windows XP computer. I'm getting an error message:
    "You can't copy the item 'filename' because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk can't display." Sometimes it doesn't give a filename, it gives a similar message "Some items couldn't be copied..."
    I assume the person has used some "illegal" file names such as "Meeting minutes 10/7/07" Or maybe we have too many folders inside of folders.
    QUESTION: Is there a correct/better way to copy large quantites of files/folders from Mac to Windows? Or is there a program that will look at the Mac files and alert me to wrong or too long files names?
    Other ideas to copy these files?
    thanks,
    Bill

    You can use a freeware utility like Renamer4Mac or BatchRename'em both of which have built-in filters that will rename files for Windows compatibility.
    Thank you... This sounded to me like it would fix the problem, so I downloaded both and looked at them. However, the manual/help file is very sparse, so I don't know if it will do what I want to and how it would do it.
    1. I couldn't find any option in either program to: Look at all files in selected folder, and list any invalid file names for Windows.
    2. There doesn't seem to be an option to "rename files without bad Windows characters" or "Remove invalid for Windows characters"
    I just couldn't find any explanation of how it was offering to rename the files. I can't rename all files to sequential names, that would make it hard to find a file later.
    Thank you,
    Bill

    Hey guys, how can i password protect my files in external hard drive? I want to access those files both from mac and windows PC!

    If you want a cross-platform solution that doesn't require the use of third-party software, use an external drive with hardware encryption. The device will have either a physical key or a numeric keypad. I don't have a specific recommendation.
