Transfering Clarisworks documents from my old Performa to my new Mac Mini

Hello!
I suppose it's too much to hope that I'll be able to transfer the word processor and spreadsheet documents created in Clarisworks on my old, trusty Performa (still runs great) to Appleworks on my new Mac Mini using my old backup floppies and a USB floppy disk drive?
If that won't work, what would the easiest way be?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions,
Well, I'd say give it a try. There are a number of routes, including using an ethernet crossover cable to form a mini network, burning the files to a CD (if you have a burner that will work with the Performa), or emailing the files to yourself from the Performa then retrieving them on the Mini. I'd say that the USB drive is the simplest so see if it works. If it doesn't work then post back and we'll see what is possible.
My real concern will be opening them once they are on the Mini which is running OSX. You can probably run Clarisworks in Classic mode.
Cheers,
Brian

  • How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400.  The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
    Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.

  • Transferring itunes songs from my old PC to my new Mac?

    Hi all,
    Whats the best way to transfer all my music (itunes) tracks from my work PC to my new Mac that i use at home. Is it as simple as just copying my existing music libraries onto a memory stick and then just copying over to the Mac? And you know (or not!) in Windows how in My Documents it has that My Music folder in which to store all your songs? Where do i save them in the Mac?? I guess same can be said for all my photos too.
    Also i got a Firewire cable but i just noticed that my PC doesn't have a connection for it (i was going to use this to help transfer over my files to the Mac). So do i need something else?
    Any answers greatly appreciated!

    When you open Finder, you should see on the left hand side, things like "Music", "Pictures".
    Those are essentially like what you have in My Documents.
    If you're using iTunes, whatever you play in there should automatically go to Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. It organizes the iTunes Music folder into more folders by artist names.
    What I'd suggest doing is put your music on a memory stick, drag it into the iTunes program, then eject the memory stick. Then you'll find all your music stored and organized in the iTunes Music folder

  • Transfering documents from an old MacBook to a new MacBook Pro

    What to do when transfering documents from an old MacBook to a new MacBook Pro and it got stuck in "about 44 hours and 53 min remaining", since 5 days ago?

    Either exercise a lot of patience or start over again.  See if there is useful information here that can solve your problem.

    Only way to get it back is to restore your phone from a backup, if those pics were included in that backup.
    But most likely those pics are gone.
    What you should've done was import http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 the pics to your computer and after you restored from your old backup, you could sync those new pics to your phone via itunes.

    install pse 12 on your new computer.  if you no longer need it on your old one, deactivate (help>deactivate) it.
    then migrate your catalogs, Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later

  • I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account.  Help?

    I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc).  I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account.  Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips?  Anyone? 

    Four transfers.  After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc.  Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all.  She sent me this link to help:  Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac.  I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
    To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472

    =============================================
    Moved by moderator from Premiere Pro to Premiere Elements forum.

    photo shop elements 12
    What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
    It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
    Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
    How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
    from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
    What installation files or installation disc do you have?
    You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
    for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
    If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
    Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
    Mac computer.
    But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.
