Transferring from mac to pc - possible?

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a bind and am hoping someone can help me out. My iPhone is associated with my PowerBook G4. A while back, the PowerBook crapped out (I'm thinking it's the mainboard...problem has happened before). I can't power on the thing let alone access iTunes. Is it possible to reassociate my iPhone to my PC without losing/formatting the data on my iPhone? How about just for software updates? Thanks!

Thanks,
the thing is that it worked without me doing anything. Is it possible that the hd was already FAT32 as default?
Depends on the manufacturer. I've bought a couple of 160 GB bus powered USB drives. One was a Western Digital Passport, and that came formatted in FAT32 for Mac/PC compatibility. The other was a SimpleTech Pininfarinia Design drive (same WD HD internals but likely different USB chipset) which came formatted in NTFS.
The main problem with FAT32 is a 4 GB file size limit. I have a few DVD archive images, and I can't save those on a FAT32 formatted drive unless they're under the limit.

How to delete photos in iphone which is transferred from mac, please help?

Hi Everyone..
I got an new iphone5 ...Am not able to delete photos which are transferred from my Mac book pro to my iphone...
Please help and guide me how to delete photos in iphone which is transferred from mac book iphoto..

You need to do it through iTunes, by unsyncing them
Wtih your iPhone connected, open iTunes on your computer, and click on your iPhone's name.
This should bring up the Overview Page, then click on the Photos Tab.
From their uncheck the folders that have the images you want top remove from your phone. Then sync the phone. itunes will remove the pictures during the sync process.

How to delete photos transferred from mac to iphone ?

I have searched on Google "how to delete photos transferred from mac to iPhone"
It returned the following result :
To do so just:
In iTunes select the device icon in the Devices List on the left. ...
Choose Sync photos from, being iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac and Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements on a Windows PC.
Choose Select Albums and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
But the problem here is that I have deleted the album which I synced via iTunes on Mac.
Now how can deleted those synced photos from my iPhone ?

No. Hook it up to any computer running iTunes. Make sure that you do not have any of the other tabs set up to sync, so that you do not overlay the info you have on your device for Music, Movies, etc., then go the the Music tab and un-check Sync Music. This should remove all sync'd music from your device. (this is presuming that the Mac you sync with does not have any photos you do want to sync with your device. If it does have any photos you want to sync, then instead of turning off the Music syncing altogether, you can just select what you do want to sync, and the sync will remove all other sync'd albums).

Streaming rentals from mac to ATV - possible?

Hi,
I've recently purchased the new 2nd gen Apple TV. I have to say it's great for streaming content from out three macs to watch/listen on the TV. However, last night we tried to rent out "How to Train Your Dragon", and have been met with the "it will take X hours and XX minutes" before it is ready to play. We're on a 6Mbps connection, with average download speeds of c. 4Mbps (tested on several sites).
We let the movie download overnight, which it did, and I hit play to see if it would start, which it did. I then paused it, as my fiance was in the shower, and when she joined me, the **** thing has started to download all over again. So we're in for another 4-8 hour wait (depending on what ATV is telling us). And our 48 hour watch period has now been activated! I'll definitely be asking for a refund on this rental.
Now, what I wanted to ask is, would it be possible to rent a movie on one of our macs and then stream the rental to the Apple TV? Has anybody tested this to see if it would work?
The only other option I see, other than renting things hours in advance and praying that they will actually have finished in time (and actually play), is to download the SD versions instead. Does anyone know if there is very diminished quality when watching the SD versions on a 32" LCD TV?
Thanks for your help!

On my 32" I can't tell the difference between SD and HD. On my 42" I can't tell a little bit of a difference. If I had a larger TV the difference would be more appairent.
Rule of thumb:
The larger the TV the more you need HD.
it also depends if you are sitting too close, too far away or the correct distance from the TV.
many either sit far too close or too far away.
on my 32" (before i upgraded it), it was very apparent the difference between SD and HD (on both appletv and broadcast TV). On my new 40" it is much the same (although the panel on this new TV is far superior than then 32").

Editor will not open after Elements 11 is transferred from Mac Snow Leopard to OS 10.10.2 Yosemite

I have been running Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac with OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I've just got a new Mac with the latest OS X (OS 10.10.2, Yosemite). I transferred all my files to the new computer with Migration Assistant.
The PSE 11 seemed to install fine and the Organiser opens OK, except that I get a message saying 'Some online services are unavailable' and asking if I want to go on without them. However when I try to open the Editor it won't open, instead I get two error messages, first 'Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, please reinstall the application', and then 'A required application library failed to open and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application'.
My questions are – should I just do a reinstall from the original disk? If so, should I do a complete uninstall of Elements 11 first? If I do a reinstall, will I lose any edits, version sets or anything else?
I had been told that I should be able to simply transfer over the PSE 11, with the original product key no. Are there any incompatibilities between PSE 11 and the latest version of Yosemite?
Thanks for any orientation,
Nick

You can never, never, never transfer any installed version of PSE on any platform. You must always install from scratch on a new machine. By trying to do so you have made more work for yourself. You will need to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is a necessary step to break the links within the program. Then you can go around and manually remove everything related to PSE that you can find, not only from Applications, but also from your username>library>preferences and the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe. You must go to these locations manually; spotlight will not help you with this type of search.
Then you can reinstall from your original media or from the download here:
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10

Transferring from Mac mini (Bootcamp) to Macbook Pro

I purchased a Mac mini earlier this year, and while it is an amazing machine, I think a Macbook is something I will need at the moment as I am traveling a bit. Now my issue is that I run windows via Bootcamp on my Mac mini and would still like to do so on a Macbook. How difficult is it to transfer from one to the other? I imagine that the Mountain Lion OS makes it easy to do so, but I want to make sure. I also don't want to lose the $200 that I spent on the Windows 7 key.
(I would like to mention that I am not worried about losing any data on Mountain Lion OS as everything is on some sort of cloud, same is to say for the Windows side.)

See if this can help: http://twocanoes.com/winclone/
(Note: Only for NTFS, if your BooCamp partition is FAT32, this will not work)
Boot Camp to Image to Boot Camp
The most common imaging scenario is to create a Winclone image of Boot Camp as part of a backup strategy or to use as a source for Boot Camp migration. This scenario is a two-step operation.
First, select the Boot Camp partition in the Sources column, then select Save Image in the Destination window, then click the Save Image... button.
After creating the image, it may be restored to Boot Camp, shared on the network to restore to other Mac hosts, copied as a file to another Mac to migrate Boot Camp or deployed to multiple remote Mac systems using mass deployment applications.

Problems playing music transfered from Mac iTunes ...

I can´t belive it - after using one hour to fickle with the phone, the media multimedia transfer and searching the nokia site for answers, I found out the music player will not play any of my imported songs, neither those imported from my old N86, nor from my mac.
The Adobe reader however, play them from the filedirectory, one by one. Really smart Nokia - thats how you win the fight with iPhone...not.

Hey thomthom,
The N8 is compatible with the MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, E-AC-3 and AC-3 whilst the N86 only supports MP3, WMA, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+. What file formats were you trying to transfer and have you tried using Nokia Suite to do so?

I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be transferred from a PC computer to my imac. I downloaded the numbers program, but when I transferred the spreadsheet using numbers, it didn't appear the same. Do I need to buy the mac office software?

I have an excel spreadsheet that needs to be transferred from a PC to my imac. I downloaded the numbers app, but the spreadsheet isn't appearing like the original in the numbers program. Drop boxes aren't working the same and things are moved around. Will I need to now purchase the mac office software or will I still have the same problem?

More compatible are OpenOffice or NeoOffice. Also if you are using a PowerPC Mac you may not be able to use the most recent Office anyway. Make sure the version of Office you get is compatible with your Mac. PPC indicates PowerPC, which was only found on Macs early 2006 and older. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to determine which CPU is on your Mac. If it says G3, G4, or G5 it is PowerPC. If it says Intel Core you can upgrade to Snow Leopard minimum and possibly the latest Office, if it says Intel Core2Duo (with the 2 in the middle) or Core i with some number you may be able to upgrade to Lion, but certainly no trouble wiht the latest Office.

How to open document from mac when using windows without transferring the file?

How can i open a document from mac when i am using windows without transferring it?

depend on the document program more then anything else really
when ever I open a doc with word it make a history for undo and redo action file in the same dir
with bootcamp you only have read not write access to the osx partition so it would fail to be able to create that file
but if you can get word or whatever program you use to open the file not to place a temp file in the same dir
or use a program which did not make any type of temp file or used a program where the temp file would be located elsewhere where you decide it would work file

The Domains.site2 file transferred from another mac won't open in iweb

Just transfered a Domains.site2 file from one mac to another in the applications support/iweb folder. But when I open iweb I get the error: can't read Domains.site2 file. Any thoughts on why this might be? It's a large file - over 2 gigs, transferred from an iMac running OX 10.5 to a macbook running OX 10.6
Thanks!

Try the following:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

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.

HT4889 How do I get the files that transferred from my old mac to this new mac to all merge so I am not using 2 set ups? In other words, I have stuff on the "new mac" and everything else on the "old mac" even though they are on the same computer.

I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac. I need everything merged to one account.
Thanks!

Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.

Can some photos from ipad be transferred to mac or external hard disk

can some photos from ipad be transferred to mac or external hard disk

Photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be copied to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You can't connect an external drive directly to the iPad, you will need to copy them to your computer first.
Photos that originally synced from a computer can be copied back to a computer via third-party apps such as Simple Transfer (which also has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when iTunes syncs them to the iPad, any that are copied back to a computer may not be exactly the same (file size, dimensions etc) as they originally were on the computer.
