Transferring Documents

Is it possible to connect an internal PC hard drive to a Mac and use the sceen, motherboard, and such to run Windows from the PC hard drive?

You can connect the drive to a Mac, by putting the drive in an external drive case, or using an adapter like this

Depending on the way the drive was formatted (initialized), it will be read-only or read/write.  This should work for "transferring documents."  However, you can't boot the Mac from that drive and run Windows.
You are posting in the PowerPC iMac category.  BUT, if your iMac is Intel, you may be able to import that existing Windows installation into a "virtual machine" and run Windows under Mac OS X, using a program like WMware Fusion

I use WMware Fusion (on my Intel iMac) with an "imported" Windows XP installation.  Parallels Desktop is another similar program, but I don't use it, and I don't know if it has the feature to import an existing Windows system (probably does).  There is also a free program called VirtualBox (from Oracle), but it as fewer features.

  • 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.

  • Transferring documents from a PC to Mac Book Pro - permissions

    I was using Dropbox to transfer "My Documents" on old PC to my new Mac Book Pro.  I was losing some documents in the process, so decided to transfer with DVDs.  I have now placed them into the Mac's Documents folder, but when I go into any of the documents, I don't have "permissions" to edit?
    Does this have anything to do with the authentication process that I think I went through when transferring/using Dropbox?

    Vinod:
    Without knowing how to process your requirements - generally speaking substitution is not supported within FICA.  that results in differences between the subledger and ledger - which then are not processable.  Your GL reconciliation will likely have issues, and support will be limited at best. 
    Any substitution-type logic should be done correctly in the subledger prior to transfer.

  • I transferred documents from older computer to new one and now I cant open.  The computer tells me power pc applications no longer supported.  Is there a way to fix this so I can open?

    HI, any help would be greatly apperciated.  I purchased a new iMAC this year and transferred my old docments from very old iMAC (flying saucer looking thing) and now I am trying to open them and cant.  My computer tells me that power pc applications are no longer supported.  Is there a way to save, change or move documents so I can open?  Email to someone else?  Thanks!

    As you've found out, Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications. What type of files are you trying to open? What PowerPC application are you using to try to work with them?  Many have had Office 2004 fail to load after migrating to Lion.

  • Transfering Documents (mostly .jpg) from Services for Object to DMS

    Hi,
    We are presently in the process of finalizing document attachments via DMS system. We still have a high quantity of documents that were attached through the "Services for object" function (mostly .jpg ) and would like to transfer these to DMS without having to export them for every single object (mostly equipments). Is there any way to do this i.e. mass export of these attachments with their link (ex. at the top of the dialog box: AttachmentFor0000000...) so that they remain .jpg to be able to re-upload quickly in DMS system ?
    Thanks for your help !

    we have in the current system merger project a developer from SAP who is programming this feature for us, so I am pretty certain that there is nothing in standard that can do this job.

  • Dead screen, transfering documents via firewire - need help

    Greetings,
    So I've got a 1 Ghz iMac (floating pivot screen.) - my primary mission critical workstation. My screen died today. Grrrr.
    No time to muck about, I went out and purchased a mac mini (1.5 Ghz single intel core), I want to transfer all data from the old box to the new asap.
    The migration assistant that appears at first boot up is cool, and I was able to move all applications. (handy!)
    Problem is that I couldn't move all my user documents because the old Mac's drive is 80 gig and the new is only 60. So I figured I would just drag and drop as much as I can manually.
    I've gone and reattached the old mac to the new via firewire and booted up the old box as an external drive. Problem is, when I open up the user folder on the old hard drive I'm not seeing any files.... ie. all folders including the old desktop folder are empty....its like the files are hidden or something.
    Help please.

    could it be because under ownership and permissions I have no access to these folders? Is that why the folders "appear" empty? - then my next question would be, how can I give myself access to them?
    Remembering that I am unable to boot up and use the old iMac (except in external drive mode) since the screen (or video card???) is dead.
    Also - I'm attempting spotlight searches from the new mac on the old mac's HD for known files on the old mac's desktop and its coming back with nothing...
    What a mess ....maybe

    When I am posting FI document through transaction code 1KEK (Profit Center Accounting : Transfer Payables/REcievables) from FI to CO, line items are not shown in Profit Center document. Means in profit center document, G/L are not shown after the transfer.
            It is urgent. Pls get back ASAP if find the solution. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    I think you have to use for line items:
    Balance Sheet Adjustment
    F.5D - Calculate
    F.5E - Post
    F.5F - Display Log
    F.5G - Special Functions

  • Transferring documents from Works to Word using  Adobe

    I have several documents in a Microsoft works program that I would like to convert to Word.
    How do I do this.
    Thanks

    Adobe don't make anything that will help you, except to convert Works to PDF (which will need Acrobat) then PDF to Word. Not ideal.
    Why not just let Word to it? Convert Works documents to Word format - Word

  • Help!  Transferring documents in DMS failed

    As part of our project to implement Content Server for DMS, we are trying to migrate the existing DMS documents from the DB.  We are running the program DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT through SE38.  We specified the Document Type, the original Storage Category, and the New Storage Category. The RFC Destination HTTP is kept to SAPHTTPA, and RFC Destination FTP is kept to SAPFTPA.
    Running the program under test mode produces no errors.  However, running it under active mode gices us the following error: Error while checking out: Message no. 26254
    This program worked perfectly on our dev system, but is failing on QA.
    We would really appreciate any ideas on what is going on a hwo to fix it.

    The issue turned out to be that our destination was using the same content storage table in the SAP BD as the source.  Apparently, they need to be different.

    If the document's in the Finder, drag it there, setting the Finder to display the drive as described above if needed.
    If it hasn't yet been saved, choose Save from within the application, follow the instructions above if needed, choose the computer in the menu at the top of the dialog box, and double-click the drive.
    This also applies for videos.
