Transfer of msg type files from Dell to Mac

good morning - I bought my first Mac yesterday (in reality I had a Apple 2GS 20 years ago)
I am transferring the daya from my Dell PC to the Mac - in the documents I want to transfer I have many msg type files from Microsoft Outlook -
the Mac does not seem to want to accept this format - is there a solution, or do I need to send them one by one via mail ?
thank you for any help

Hands4 has posted a link to an article about Apple's PC migration assistant. Take a good look at the article. It is a novice friendly way to transfer your stuff - documents, pictures, music, contacts, and email from the PC to your Mac. I strongly recommend that if you choose this method that you use it the very first time you start up your Mac.
If you aren't concerned about keeping your mail and contacts it is also easy just to use an external drive or a flash drive to copy stuff from one computer to the other. Plotinus refers to formating the drive in a way that both Windows and Mac OS can read/write to it but no matter how the drive is formatted the Mac will be able to copy the files from it.
When my sister finally dumped Windows she was using Google Mail so all her contacts and email info was on Google. That made it easy for her to move into her new Mac with just a 32GB flash drive. Also, since she was using iTunes with her iPhone already most of her music could be redownloaded to the Mac which also made things a bit easier for her.

How to transfer files from Del to mac pro

How do you transfer files from my old Del to my new mac book Pro? Also would it be better to ransfer the files to a external hard drive?

Thanks Alot that works with purchasing a hard drive do you know any particular good ones?
Well you only really have a choice of Seagate and Western Digital now, however if you buy Hitachi external drive, even though WD owns them, it should be the best drive of all, certainly better than Segate + Maxor.
I would like to have one wireless.
External drives are wired, but you can hook them to a router and the router acts as the wireless data transfer to the hard drive.

Transfer songs and library file from PC to Mac KEEPING them on external drive

I am struggling to find a definitive answer to this. I have all my files stored on an external hard drive on a PC.
I recently got a Macbook and want to transfer all my files to the new Mac.
I know that I will need a new Mac compatible external hard drive and that I will have to copy the files onto the new hard drive.
However I cannot find instructions on doing the transfer to the new Mac that explain doing this AND KEEPING the files on the external drive.
To clarify...I don't want to put them on the new Macs hard drive as I have around 300GB of music, I want to keep them on the external hard drive.
its probably very simple simple but am struggling to get a decent answer. have read loads of stuff that explain moving it to the mac hard drive ...buts thats not what I want to do!
thanks in advance

See Make a split library portable. A portable library can be stored entirely on an external drive and moved between Mac and Windows computers. iTunes takes a little longer to open the library the first time after each switch. If your drive is currently formatted to NTFS then you will need an additional driver to enable OS X to write to the drive, or simply clone the library to an HFS+ drive.

How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

Hi guys and galls,
How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
Attach the HDD to your MBP. Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
Do this on a PC. You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility. I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this. I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
Use ExFAT. FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.
Ciao.

How can i transfer more than one file from server to client

Hi,
our requirement is transfer more than one files from server to client using the
webutil_file_transfer.as_to_client_with_progress.One file transfer is already working in our system.If anybody know the solution please inform
regards
mat

just an idea ...
for this purpose let us put aside security concerns and other potential problems....
-- Get the content of a server directory with Filter and create zip file
1) create a class that implements java.io.FilenameFilter ...
2) define accept() method ...
3) call File.list() with the filter as a parameter. The returned array of strings will have all the names that passed through the accept() filter
4) use java.util.Zip to create ZIP file on the server side
-- I think it is better to create this functionality as a separate Java class, put it in required folder and after it
-- use Forms->Program->"Import Java class" to create pl/sql wrappers, than to create wrappers for all classes and code in pl/sql
5) use webutil to transfer file on the client
6) use Java on client side to unzip transferred file
if you think this is not too complicated, you should try ...
Regards,
Vladimir

I have a power pc (g5) computer that I will soon be replacing with a current i5 or i7 mini. How do I transfer the Time Machine files from the internal hard drive on the G5 to an external drive that I will later use with the Mini?

Hi, likely the easiest is to just poll the drive & get something like this...
Get MacScan...

But if you have a good external drive already, just clone it.
Get carbon copy cloner to make an exact copy of your old HD to the New one...

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

I have a mid year 2007 24 inch iMac and will be purchasing a new 27 inch Retina iMac, what is the easiest way to transfer the data and files from my old machine to the new one?

Following up on this thread,
I have a new iMac on the way and my current is from 2008, never had a problem but I am sure there are internal issues that I would prefer not to transfer.
I have no issues other then the slowness in certain programs and that is the main reason to buy a new one.
Programs like numbers and pages seem to take a longer time to open after I update to Yosemite.
I only use 272GB of 500 GB, my memory is 4GB and I am upgrading to 8Gb and bought the 4.0 processor.
Question:
Is there a way to manually transfer items or would that be a waste of time in that if there are issues they could be anywhere and would transfer anyway?

Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.
