Transferring Files from a Mac to a PC

Hello everyone,
Recently I have decided to sell my Mac computer. I transferred the files from it to an external hard drive and wiped the original hard drive. Now I would like to use these files on my PC computer, but the external hard drive doesn't show up when it is turned on. It works fine on the Mac, so I am guessing this has to do with the format of the hard drive (being Mac-proprietary). Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I was thinking of taking my Mac back out, transferring the files back to the Mac, formatting the hard drive for PC, then putting my files back onto the hard drive, but I don't know if this'll work.

Hello,
Unless you wish to transfer files back to the Mac and then copy them to an appropriately formatted (FAT32) external hard drive, you may want to take a look at a utility like MacDrive (which makes it possible to read Mac formats on a Windows PC).

  • Question about transferring files from a Mac

    Hi there!
    I want to ask about the new iPad mini (and or the iPad 3) especially with transferring files from a Mac.
    I normally just do the "normal" way of transferring files (.doc files, .mp3 files or .mp4 video files) i.e. via the USB port of my Mac. But is there a faster, easier and a wireless way to do it?
    Please advice.
    Thanks.

    Stupid question: will i need to also install Dropcopy on my iPad 3/iPad mini in order for my files to be transferred?
    Yes, it will need to,install it on any machine you wish to use it on.
    also, you should spend some time on the Drobbox website to see how it works. You won't find it in the Mac App Store, but can still easily using it on a Mac.

  • Help transferring files from old Mac 10.3.9 to new Mac 10.6.1

    Hi - I just bought a new iMac with Snow Leopard and I am trying to transfer my old files from my iMac running 10.3.9. I connected a FireWire cable between the two and restarted the old iMac while holding down the "t" key, using Migration Assistant on the new iMac. Migration Assistant kept saying that it was waiting for the old iMac to restart, even though the old one HAD restarted. I looked on the forums and saw that I should try to run Setup Assistant from the Utilities folder on the old iMac. But there isn't a Setup Assistant in the Utilities folder.
    So I am at an impasse. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Some of the items I've found via searching suggest to avoid transfer or migration of older
    files from the ancient 10.3 over to the newer 10.5 or 10.6. And when the old computer is
    a PowerPC, the new Intel-based Mac may not see or be able to use some of the items.
    The older Setup Assistant is supposed to do for Panther 10.3 what the newer Migration
    Assistant does for Tiger 10.4; to an extent. The results from the older system are limited.
    There is a way to have the new computer import some of the older computer's user files
    and account info into it, before its first run; but with a leap so great between 10.3 & 10.6,
    the results overall won't be as satisfactory as just running the new computer totally new;
    going through the setup and upgrade processes independent of the old Mac altogether.
    The Apple Support- Snow Leopard page should have some upgrade and migration help
    info on there which may be helpful: http://www.apple.com/support/snowleopard/
    It would appear that the instructions for migrating from an older Mac to one running 10.5
    or 10.6 apply to the older computer, so the Panther software may be secondary if it really
    matters at all in this process. See this document, and wonder along with me... This is not
    quite the same as a migration assistant; but you don't need FW Target Disk in either case.

    How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322
    The older method may not apply in the path you've chosen, outlined here, below;
    but note there are matters about file and older app compatibility in the newer OS:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554
    In the past, I've done a bit of upgrade and some migration action and found that overall,
    the new OS X seemed to work a lot better with nothing old involved. That's just me!
    And I'm sure each individual's mileage may vary...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Transfering files from old mac to new mac

    I just bought a iMac G5 and started it up and it asked if I wanted to transfer files from my old mac. I selected yes. And it began transferring. It looked like everything was going fine until I checked on it about 30 minutes later and it looked like it hadn't progressed at all. I checked on it another 30 minutes later and it said 1 hour 6 minutes remaining and hasn't moved since. I don't understand why it's not going further. And it's taking forever! Am I just too impatient. I'm transferring 5GB from my old PowerPC G4 mac using a firewire cable. Any help is much appreciated. I have no idea why it's not working.

    A couple of other things to consider Emille,
    1. Make sure your data is really going through the firewire cable and not a wireless network. Going through an ethernet or firewire cable would be much faster. It may have been possible that even though you had a cable connected, It may have tried to do it wirelessly anyway.
    2. Were either of them going to sleep?
    3. Make sure no other firewire devices are plugged in.

  • Transfering files from old mac mini to new mac mini

    I just purchased a new mac mini intel duo OSX 10.4.10, with which I am using my existing monitor, keyboard and mouse. I want to transfer important files and software from my old original mac mini without having to purchase a whole new set of peripherals, which seems to be indicated when the set up assistant directs connecting the CPU's with firewire cable. Please advise. Thanks.

    No need for a second set of peripherals. Plug the firewire cable into both computers and the keyboard into the old Mac and start it up in FireWire target mode (hold the T key while turning it on). Now unplug the keyboard and connect it to the new one. Start up the Migration Assistant and go.

  • Transferring files from power mac to p.c. via hard drive

    have power mac which used for editing and need to transfer files to a p.c. because of volume of files have tried to go by way of hard drive formated at fats. does not work as files to big. any suggestions as client only has p.c. and is 80 miles away

    I have trouble playing 20 questions to get to the heart of questions and problems and trying to offer ideas, too!
    A PC can't read HFS+ natively. It needs help.
    And a G5 can't use the latest software or run Windows on it.
    From other people I've learned that other NTFS drivers are not as well built or don't work as well as Paragon. And HFS+ driver for Windows from MediaFour does not seem to work well with Windows and doesn't have many fans.
    Can't help if it is all greek though.

  • Transferring Files from my Mac to a Hard drive

    Hey guys!
    So I have some videos on my hard drive for my mac that I am trying to move to an external hard drive. The movies are both AVI and MPEG 4 files. I play the AVI Files using a VLC player and I pplay the MPEG 4 files using quicktime. When I try moving them over to my hard drive, I get an error message saying that they cannot be copied over because they cannot be read. Can someone advise me on how to proceed? Thanks!

    I get an error message saying that they cannot be copied over because they cannot be read.
    Please post the exact, complete text of that error message, or a screenshot.

  • Transferring Files from old Mac to New Mac and size is different.

    So I have a MBP 13 and I want to move the Documents folder to my new MBA. I popped in a USB drive and just dragged my Documents folder to the USB Drive. It registered right around 4gb with something like 17,000 items.
    So when I put the USB in the MBA it still says 4gb with the same amount of files. But when I copy them all it only shows 430 files and something like 500mb.
    So I tried as the Root User. When I went it as root, it said it was copying the full 4gb and the 17k items. But when I logged in as the admin and not the Root user it still said the smaller #'s.
    Is there a reason for this? It seems like maybe something was copied when I just dragged the Documents folder to the USB. Are there some account specific hidden files or settings or something when I do it that way? I supppose I could just open the docs, select all, and copy that way, but I would like to figure out what is going on here.
    TIA
    Steve

    Have you got access to an external drive that is large enough to hold your entire iTunes folder including the iTunes Music folder? Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them. Attach an external drive and copy over your iTunes folder. Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a Mac this would be in Username/Music/. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.

  • Trouble in transferring files from Mac to flash drive

    I can transfer files from my flash drive to my Mac but am having trouble transferring files from the Mac to the flash drive.  I also tried to install the NTSF 3G software as recommended by some people. However, it did not work either. The flash drive could not be mounted after I installed the NTSF software so I ended up uninstalling it. Please help! Thanks.

    Why does the flash drive need to be formatted NTFS?
    If you have no valid reason for it to be formatted NTFS then reformating might be a simpier solution.

  • How do I merge transfered files from a PC to my new Mac

    I recently transfered files from a PC to my Mac but they did not merge with the existing Mac files but ended in a different location under a separate password access. How do I merge these new files with the existing Mac files?

    Try to simply copy the files and past them at the location of your Mac files.... you will be notified of duplicate files.
    From here you can click "Keep Both", "Stop" or "Replace"
    Click on "Replace"
    *****WARNING*******
    This process will NOT look at which file is newer of the two, it will simply replace one file for the other so MAKE SURE you are not replace the new files with old once.

  • I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac and from Mac to Mac

    I have problems transferring files from PC to Mac, and from Mac to Mac.  PC to PC is fine.  Nothing but problems with the Mac.  One example:
    While working on my PC, I open shared folders on an external HDD connected to the Mac.  I click on paste to move the files.  I get an error after a few seconds to a minute of trying to move several files from my PC Win 7 to Mac OS Maverick, that there is a file already at the destination on Mac. This statement is true, but it was just put there because I am copying them over in that same action.  It reads 0Kb and wasn't there before I started.  Then I get an error: The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  Close the folder or file and try again..
    Whether I click on it a bunch right of way or wait, it still takes about 45 seconds. I have to do it with every file and it only happens when copying from a PC to Mac.  I have even restarted both computers so nothing is using any files.  If I copy one file at a time, I don't get any error.
    So I have one file to move, no problem.  If move 5 files, The first will go fine, but it shows all 5 files in folder at once.  All other files than the first show 0kb. I get the file already existing error once it starts the second file transfer, and I select move and replace.  Then I get The Action Cannot be completed because the folder is open in another program.  I wait or click repeatedly until it starts to move file.  That file will then show something other than 0kb.  When it is done, the error process starts all over.  I tried checking the PC with unlocker, but the files do not show themselves locked on the PC.

    Its not only French. Even certain characters in English will come across as gobblydegook from 1 platform to another. I see this in emails that likely were composed in Word & the characters don't come across.
    Not sure if this is still true, but years ago someone explained that there is a standard character set & then I think its extended characters & those vary from platform to platform or language to language, etc.

  • Needed some help transferring files from Mac to external hard drive

    Hey guys, I just needed some urgent help.
    My friend wanted some files to be transferred to his external hard drive from my Mac. As he is a Windows user, I guess his hard drive is formatted for Windows as well. As I plug in the hard disk in my Mac, I can't transfer the files. It says something like "the disk cannot be modified".
    So, please help me on how can I transfer this files from my Mac and if I do format it to work with the Mac, will it work for Windows later?
    Please help!
    Cheers
    Sam

    The Windows drive is probably formatted NTFS which is not natively writable
    by the Mac. It should be formatted as FAT32 to be usable on both.

    I've run out of ideas what to do so was hoping someone on here could help

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    have a look at this little Windows program http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html
    It enables Windows to read from HFS-formatted (OSX) harddisks.
    Might be the easiest and cheapest solution, as others are not free.
    MacDrive would be another option, but is not free (but has more features).
    Regards
