Transferring data files from OS9.1 to OSX(10.4.7

I've done a lot of reading this evening and I am still unclear about transferring info from OS9.1 to OSX(10.4.7). Programs are not transferrable, but data files were not addressed directly. The platforms are the issue. My understanding is that Office:Mac 2004 and Quicken 2007 will translate data files from AppleWorks6 and Quicken 2000. I have data files on my iMacOS9.1, also backed up on an Acomdata external harddrive. Is there anything, or way, that I can get these files transferred to my new iMac20"(10.4.7)machine? From what I'm reading, FireWire target disk mode holds some faint hope. I'm concerned that if I access the external harddrive, it may require a re-initializing, even though it was originally partitioned to receive both PC and Apple OS files.

Continuing trial and error. My old Imation Floppy Drive worked well to transfer Quicken files across from OS9.1 to OSX(10.4.7). The new iMac apparently had the necessary driver, because everything came to life when I hooked into the USB2.0 port. At 1.4m it's slow. Probably the same success can be accomplished by CD's and probably the same with the Fire Wire Target Disk Mode, if you are careful about the material you try to transfer. In the case of Quicken, when the file was transferred, a dialog box came up giving a recommended procedure to follow. Easy!

  • How to move iMovie files from OS9 to OSX?

    I need to move files from an old iMac running OS9 (9.2.1) to an Intel Mac running OS X (10.6.4). The iMac does have firewire, if that’s helpful. Would target disk work for this task? I believe the files are iMovie and iMovie2.
    My goal is editing in iMovie09; I don’t know if iMovie9 can recognize files that old. I’ve read about folder structure changes… So, I guess my question is twofold: does the OS have anything/more/less to do with this, than the iMovie version does? Or is the OS irrelevant here?
    I don’t know where to begin. I hope there’s a simple safe solution and I’m making this more complicated than it needs to be.
    Any help appreciated.

    You must move the Event files from within iMovie to your external drive. If you move them in the Finder, your project will no longer work.
    First, make sure your external drive is formatted as HFS+ (journalled), (or Mac OS (journalled) - same thing)
    Second, in iMovie, select VIEW/EVENTS BY VOLUME
    Third, in the EVENTS Source List, you should now see your hard drive. Drag and drop the Events onto the Drive Icon in the Events Source List.
    Leave the Project Files where they are. They are not very big. If you upgrade to iMovie 09, you can move the Project files, too.

  • Trouble Transferring Data Files From Zen Xtra to Computer...HELP

    Hello to all technical-savvy people out there in computer land, I'm hoping you can help me somehow, as I am frustrated beyond belief.
    I have a Creative Nomad Jukebox, Zen Xtra, 30 GB. I used it for, obviously, listening to MP3's while I was out of the country in Australia, and I also used it to store data...all of my digital pictures and videos. When I got back to Chicago, I was able to download all the drivers and software onto my dad's computer from online, and was able to successfully transfer everything from my Zen Xtra onto the computer.
    I am now at my mom's, and trying to do the exact same thing to her PC and to her laptop....neither of them want to cooperate with me. The computer recognizes the device, and can recognize the data, but it is unable to transfer the information from the device to the computer. I have done the following:
    Downloaded the drivers/software
    Restarted the computer (plenty of times)
    Rebooted the Zen Xtra
    Firmware upgrade
    And I still can't transfer. I want to show my mom the pictures desperately, and it's realllly frustrating me. If anyone can help me out, my email is [email][email protected]][email protected][/url]
    Thank you,
    Sheryl

    If it worked with the exact same drivers/software on one PC but not another, this suggests a USB incompatibility (especially as you've tried a firmware upgrade). It's not clear whether this is Creative's drivers and/or certain USB chipsets, but issues do seem to exist for some people with certain combinations of hardware.
    Out of interest, have you tried a disk cleanup? To access the Rescue Mode hold down the play button and KEEP it held down, press the tiny reset switch once, and KEEP the play button held down until the player boots into the Rescue Mode. Choose Disk Cleanup from the menu. Note: Disk cleanup should not remove your tracks. It searches through the disk for files and rebuilds the index, and can be useful for correcting any strange behaviour.

  • Transfering Library Data File from iPod

    Lost my computer to a backdoor trojan horse yesterday.
    My Music is on an external harddrive, so no worries there. I saved an old library data file from 2 months ago, but have changed many things since then. Is there anyway to get the library data file on the iPod and transfer it to iTunes?
    I have the library from 2months ago on iTunes, and have the iPod set up on manual mode for the moment. the iPod had the new iTunes 7 version on it.
    Thanks for any help out there.

    Hopefully I made sense in my post. No one knows a way to do this?

  • HT2518 If I am transfering my files from pc to mac, do I need to make sure the appropriate programs are already installed on the mac before or after the migration?

    Just bought a Mac Book Pro w/Retina display.  Will be transfering all files from my pc to the mac.  Also will be installing Paralles and Windows 7 to run quickbooks.  At what point do I do the data migration?  Install the software that I need first and then copy the files?
    Any help on this would be appreciated!

    Install the software then migrate the files. Documents can't be opened without the software on the drive.

  • Unable to delete data files from my Ipod if used as data storage...

    Hello everybody
    I bought months ago an Ipod Nano 8GB. I've got an issue when i use it as disk storage i'm not able to sort out. I've checked all the topics but i cannot find any solution.
    Example: I use the Ipod with the option "Manually manage music and videos". I put audio and video files on my Ipod through Itunes, then i put also some files on my Ipod as normal data files through my Mac Finder (Easy, i drag VLC, JPG files etc. from folders to my Ipod). The Ipod/Itunes summary page shows (Correctly) the capacity column colored in blue (Audio), video (Purple) and orange (Data). No probs when i transfer data files to another computer.
    Problem: when i delete the data files from my Ipod (Through finder) the orange column doesn't disappear (I have no problems if i delete audio/video files via Itunes) and although i've actually deleted all the files if i try to add some other data or videos/music files to my Ipod, Itunes says that there is no space available in my device. It's very strange, i check and double check all the options but eventually i have to restore my Ipod all the times and (Pretty annoying) add all my files again.
    It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
    It'd be great if someone can help me out as it's very important for me to be able to use my Ipod as disk storage, thanks a lot!

    It seems that although i sent my files to the trash bin, Itunes (Fully updated) doesn't recognize the change.
    Empty it from the Finder menu or by control-clicking it in the Dock.

  • How do i move a data file from my pc to my ipad

    How do I move a data file from my computer to my ipad? It is my product catalogue and it would help if it were on my ipad.

    Plug the iPad into iTunes and you can use file sharing to move it into an app that supports file sharing and that document format.
    see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4094
    Or, use an online storage service (iCloud, dropbox, box, google drive, sugarsync, etc) and upload the file to that.  Then on the iPad, from within the app you plan to use the file with, link to that service and download the file.
    The app will again have to work with that file type, and support the particular service you used.

  • Using Migration Assistant to Move Data Files from one Account to New User

    Is it possible or recommended to use Migration Assistant to move data files from an old user account to a new user account on the same volume/hard disk?

    Migration Assitant cannot be used as a simple file transfer utility. MA can transfer an entire Home folder or entire Users folder but not individual files.
    In general files in one user account cannot be moved to another user account as this would violate built-in security measures.
    What you can do is to copy the files to an external device like a hard drive or flash drive. First log in to the old account. Then configure the drive to ignore preferences by Pressing COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and check the Ignore permissions on this volume checkbox at the bottom of the window. Copy your files to the device. Log into the new account. Verify the external drive is still configured to ignore permissions (reset it, if not.) Copy the files from the external device into the Home folder of the new account. I would create a temporary folder for these files. If you still end up without the proper permissions you will need to make modifications that are easier done if all the files are in a single folder.

    Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
    How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
    If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
    See this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.

    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

  • I transferred PPT files from a windows based pc (microsoft PPT 2003), at first my macbook was able to run all animations in file, after some time it stopped running it, partly because i "switched on" something since this is my first time to use a mac ?

    i transferred PPT files from a windows based laptop to my macbook, at first it was able to run the animations in the file no problem, its my first time to use a mac also bythe way, so i started downloading freebies like the VLC, FLIP4MAC, and other plug-in players, would it be because of this downloads that my mac now cannot seem to run the powerpoint animations any more ?

    I don't think vlc would affect powerpoint.  What were those "other plug-in players" you downloaded? 
    I'm not that familiar with powerpoint so how are those animations played?  Are they windows media player files?  If so then flip4mac might affect them.

    just transfered M2TS files from PC to new mac, not able to run them in final cut? any ideas?

    FCP doesn't like mpeg2 transport streams. You might give ClipWrap a chance to do the conversion. They have a free trial. If it works, the full version is something like $50.
    Good luck

  • I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). Can print from other applications. Help please?

    I can't print CS5 files from my Mac OSX (Mavericks). CS5 crashes when sent to print.  Can print from other applications (Word, etc.).

    I just tried installing them. I got the message that "Some updates failed to install" (including for CS5), to quit and try again. I was curious and tried again to print and lo and behold, I could print!  I'm still nervous that not everything installed and wonder how to get a complete install.

  • Copying only data files from old MacPro?

    I have a 500GB drive from an older Macpro that I want to copy files from to get them onto a new iMac SSD. I only want to copy the data files, no applications, preferences, Library files, etc.
    The Macpro no longer boots, though I have a hard drive docking station that I can put the drive into so I can connect it to the new iMac.
    1. What is the best way to copy just the data files from the old drive to the new iMac?
    2. How reliable is this? Is there any chance that it will not copy some of the files over?
    Thanks!

    I just want to make sure that I'm not missing any files. After I drag them over I can put them into the trash so I know they were copied over. Any other tips for doing this? Is there a way to search for all files on the Mac to ensure that there are none that I might miss?
    Thanks.

  • I transferred my files from a G4 to a new macbook pro, but I can't access my old songs in itunes. I click on the mac tab to access mp3 and acc but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    I transferred my files from a G4 to a new macbook pro, but I can't access my old songs in itunes. I clicked on library in itunes and get the mac page to access mp3 and acc files but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

    They maybe corrupt, try transferring again from the g4. If iTunes is giving you an error then you need to authorize your computer with the same iTunes account as previously. Also, you could try exporting your iTunes library via iTunes on the g4.
