Transfer files from device storage to Mac

This sounds like such a noob question, but I used to plug the BB to the laptop, I'd get a pwd promtp on the BB  link and then I could go to the finder to pick selected files and happy I was
  BUT that one stopped working, I added a SD card (which works very good as USB) but cannot access the device files no more, what a pain?? What do I have to do now??
   I'm on 10.2.1.2156 , BTW when I upgraded to this version I made a backup but this version cannot read it ;-((( glad I kept the key files just incase 
   I tried:
      - Removing the SD, rebooting the Mac , rebooting the BB(pulling the battery out) ,the BB link pops and connects to the BB but if I go to pics I can see them and there is a right click option(Copy to Desktop) that never work in the past and it still doesn't
     - I tried the WiFi access I get to the point where it shows me  select device/external media but they are grayed out
how lovely
   What would be the next thing to try??? Sorry this is pretty frustrating I thought they have fixed basic things like this

I upgraded to BBLink 1.2.2(Build27) the song remains the same, still copying to Desktop doesn't do anything, am I the only one that needs just a couple of files??? it came with some "Blend.app" but that one didn't have anything I needed so I got rid of it.
Just rebooted both Mac&BB when I do the connect to server I'm presented with Media/RemovableMedia SD but the internal media is grayed and the SD is enabled when I don't even have an SD card, tried it anyway and after a while it complains it cannot do it. Have they tested this???  everything else works on the Mac I'm staying on Mavericks because some of my dev stuff doesn't seem right in Yosemite.
I'm keeping the failth with my Z10 but simple things like this not working makes me wonder.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

  • HT4796 Can I transfer files from a PC to Mac Book Pro using an ethernet connection cable and if so what kind

    Can I transfer files from a PC Windows 8 based operating system to a MAC Book Pro using an ethernet cable and if so what type of cable. The wi-fi system where I am temporarily located is very slow and thus the transfer may take hours.

  • How do I transfer files from my old Power Mac Mini to my new one?

    Oops...thought I had to write the question in the above spot. 
    Question:  How do I transfer my files from my old Power Mac Mini to my new Intel based Mac Mini?  From what I read, I needed a 40/80 cable, which I bought.  However, I only have one monitor. 
    (I tried to copy files onto a blank dvd, but it wouldn't format and kept spitting the disk out) (?)

    Anna,
    Here is a discussion on the same topic that will save some typing:

    Jolly makes a good point about screen sharing.
    I prefer the firewire approach just because I have had more problems with ethernet connections than with firewire connections.  Both options work, firewire has just been easier for me when the operating system on the machines are different.  Read the options and post back if you would like additional coaching.

  • How do I transfer files from windows to i-Mac

    I have just purchased the new i-Mac and wanting to transfer my files - I bought a portable USB 2.0 hard drive that says it is compatible with windows and Mac OS 10.4 or later but when I bought it the sales guy said that before transferring any files i had to format it first on the Mac with FAT32 so it can be used on both machines.  Is this correct as I'm not too sure how to format it - the instructions on the box say that it is Plug-n-Play and ready for immediate use.  Does this mean I should be able to use on both machines?
    Thanks for help! :-)

    found the answer! yay! :-)

  • How can I transfer files from iPhoto  on my mac to my iPhone?

    Trying to do the reverse of what's normal.  Thx.

    Connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab of you sync settings, check Sync Photos from iPhoto, select which photos you want to sync to your phone, sync.  These photos will appear on your phone it Photo Library (which contains all the actual photos) as well as within the individual folders you chose to sync to your phone (which contain links to selected photos in Photo Library, not duplicate photos).

  • Easiest way to transfer files larger than 4gb between mac and windows?

    I just borrowed a windows laptop and formatted an external USB drive FAT32 and am able to transfer files from my Tiger OS Mac and the Windows 7 computer..but now I discover the maximum file size is 4GB. How could I transfer files (usually video) larger than that? Thanks for any help.

    Set up a network and file sharing, or format the drive to Mac OS Extended and install the MacDrive trial on the PC, or format the drive to NTFS and install the NTFS-3G drivers on the Mac.

  • How to transfer files from old iMac to new iMac

    What is the easiest way to transfer files from my current iMac (intel) to my new iMac..which be arriving this week?
    Thanks

    Get a Firewire cable to run between your old iMac and the new one. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new computer for the first time. You will find yourself in the Setup Assistant. You will have an option to transfer files from another drive or Mac. Choose that option to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network preferences. You will opt to transfer from your old iMac's hard drive which should appear as an alternative source.

    The Migration Assistant can transfer files from a computer running Mac OS X 10.1 or newer, but shouldn't be used to migrate applications from a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac.

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

  • How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files.  Do I have to use iTunes?

    How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way?  I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way?  I have transferred epub books using Dropbox.  Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

    USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
    Connect device to computer/mac
    Select your device in iTunes menu.
    Apps...
    At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
    Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
    Hope that helped.
    In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....
