Transfer data to MacBook Pro

Hello,
So my G5 broke (3 months to repair) and I currently only have the hard drive from it. Is there anyway to transfer the data from that hard drive to my MacBook Pro? Could a Genius at the Apple store help with this?
Thankful for any advice - it's urgent.
Regards,
Veronica

You're welcome.
Here's one for $14.98 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159090&cmre=2.5_usb_hd_enclosure-_-17-159-090--Product
And this one's a little bit more, but OWC (Macsales) has a reputation for good quality merchandise and service: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/ES2.5BPU2B/

    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.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

  • I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iPhone 5?

    I can't transfer my data from macbook pro to iphone 5?????
    Is there anyone to help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    This should work, how did you do? Explain ‘I can’t transfer my files’. You are in the new mac, the older mac is connected via wl network or eth, it is detected and mounted, and does not work?
    Firewire would be better, probably with a 400-to-800 fw adapter (6 to 9 pin).

  • I currently use iCloud on a MacBook Pro. I opened my iBook G4 that I haven't used in several years and am unable to access my MobileMe account with many stored emails that I would like to transfer to the MacBook Pro. I have tried all of the passwords.

    I currently use iCloud on a MacBook Pro. I opened my iBook G4 that hasn't been used in years. I have many email messages that i would like to transfer to the MacBook Pro, but every password I use to access MobileMe is not accepted. Any suggestions on retrieving or transferring the emails?

    MobileMe was discontinued around 2 years ago.  Anything on the MMe servers are long gone. The MMe passwords are uselsess because MMe is no more.
    Unless you created an iCloud account back before MMe was taken off line you won't be able to recover any emails.

    How to transfer movie from MacBook Pro to iPad ?

    For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
    The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
    Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:

    Thanks for fast response.
    I already tried C12, no luck. I did read C17, but that did not help either.
    I agree that Apple should really spend a bit more time on ensuring this common problem is resolved more quickly
    But where to do you sent this request to?  Doesn't seem easy to find a person to send it to.
    I dumped by corporate wIn-pc environment that I was forced to use for the past ...forever.  Have been delighted with the Mac experience..... for 24 months..but these type of un-resolved matters with terse error messages reminds me of the bad old days.
    I had the problem 2 weeks ago and solved it by "clicking about" after reading the forum  Can't remember what i did though. V. V. V. frustrating when the Mac is a business tool.  I don't want to be a mechanic, I want to be a driver.
    Thanks again for your help
