Transferring info from macbook pro to G4

If i have a folder that's very large in size and I want to transfer it over from my G4 to my Macbook Pro, is there a way to do it other than copying it onto an external drive and then importing it from the drive? Certainly can't email it. Can I connect the two computers via Target mode and only choose to import specific items?
Thanks.

yes, you can use target mode. reboot the macbook pro and hold "t" at the chime it will boot in target mode. connect it to the G4 via a firewire cable. it will show up as a mounted drive. locate the folder you need and copy it to the G4. you can also do it without using target mode using file sharing via firewire.

  • How do I use iSync to share info from MacBook Pro to Nokia 6822 (TMobile)?

    Hello! I just got a new MacBook Pro and a new cell phone - a Nokia 6822 (currently I have TMobile Cell Service). I saw at this address: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
    that the Nokia 6822 is an iSync compatible device.
    Sorry for such a novice question - can somebody direct me what this means for me? Can I keep a To Do List & calendar appointments on my MacBook Pro that transfers to my phone? If so, HOW DO I DO THIS?
    Can I update To Do list using the keypad on my Nokia 6822 and then sync that data back to my MacBook Pro too? How?
    I'd love comments from people who use this technology and what you think of it, too.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1.83 GHz Processor, 512MB DDR2 SDRAM Memory

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    In Mac OS X, contact information is maintained in the Address Book and event and task information in iCal. iSync is used to synchronize this information with a mobile handset like your Nokia 6822. To enable this service, you must pair your mobile handset with your computer using Bluetooth, accessible from the Bluetooth pane of the System Preferences application.
    Once paired, you enable synchronization by launching iSync and selecting the Add Device… option under the Devices menu, then configure your synchronization parameters by pressing the mobile handset icon—which appears in the main window of —to drop down a pane in which you select the individual synchronization parameters for your device.
    There is a Help file accessible in iSync which explains how all of this works.

  • Transferring Music from Macbook pro to iphone

    So I just bought my new macbook pro and I have already transferred all my music from my iphone onto the computer itself. However, throughout the day I have been dowloading music from the internet using a youtube converter site. They dowloaded onto the computer and are in my library. However, I have been trying all day to now transfer those new songs onto my iphone. Everytime I try to drag it onto the iphone it just doesnt do anything. Can anyone tell me why???
    -Thanks

  • Problems transferring data from MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I am having problems transferring data from my old MacBook Pro. I am using an Apple Thunderbolt to FW adapter to hook both computers and I am using the Migration Assistant. Everything looked ok until the "Transferring Your Information" screen got stuck. It says that it is "Transferring your Application folder..." And it has been stuck for at least the last two hours giving a message that says "About 3 minutes remaining..." This is starting to get ridiculously annoying. Options?

    I guess I am finding my own way as time progresses and frustration increases but these are two things that I have found so far:
    1. Transfering from one machine to another does not seem to be the most efficient way to do this so using the TimeMachine backup must be the way to go...
    HOWEVER
    2. In this process I also found another "complication" called: Legacy FaultVault - My computer is encripted and I used this now so called "Legacy FaultVault" app to do it (when it was no a Legacy!). The thing is that you can not transfer documents from your TimeMachine backup to your new Mac if the Legacy Fault Valut is active on your old machine so you first need to desactivate the encription. HOWEVER, this brought another issue...when I tried to desactivate the encription using the Legacy FaultVault screen I got a message saying that I did not have enough disk space to allow me to do that....Isn't that great??? This is a problem by itself and it seems to have some sort of solution I was reading about (not straight forward at all). What I am trying to do now is to copy the folder that contains my files and just paste them on my new machine to see if that works....it looks like my apps are on my new machine, unsure if they are working...need to test this next....
    I guess the transfer machine to machine could have sorted out the conflict eventually...after tens of hours or maybe not! Who knows....
    A very frustrated Apple fan...
    I love Apple products but this is an ISSUE...I feel like there is lack of adecuate documentation around to deal with this or the data transfering apps should be able to deal with this on a more efficient way....just saying...

  • Transferring songs from MacBook Pro to iPhone

    Some songs purchased from iTunes on MacBook Pro won't transfer to iPhone or burn to disc, even though it shows up on computer and will play from computer just fine.

    Hey greghunt32 ,
    Just click the iPhone in iTunes>Photos tab, and choose where you want to sync photos from.
    This article explains syncing data to the iPhone in more detail.

  • Having difficulty migrating info from MacBook Pro to new iMac

    I have been trying to migrate my information from my MacBook Pro (10.9.1) to my new iMac (10.9.1).  I've connected the two via ethernet.  They are recognizing each other, but then one or the other seems to shut off and requires me to enter my password and it stalls the whole process.  I've attempted this migration at least 5 times now (or more) and the same thing keeps happening.  Any suggestions?

    I just got a new iMac on January 2nd, and moved 320GB worth of data from my external Time Machine backup drive (a Firewire drive connected to the new iMac via the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter) to the new iMac in about 3 hours or so.  This was all done via Setup Assistant, not Migration Assistant (which can be run later on for those in a hurry to use their new Mac).
    It almost sounds to me as if you're transferring everything via WiFi.

  • Transferring photos from MacBook Pro to a SD Card

    Hello, New chap on the block and a complete ignoramus!
    I have just moved from a windows 7 based laptop to Macbook Pro with OSxLion.
    I am slowly learning, howevr I have two problems that I cannot seem to resolve.
    1: I put my 2gb brand new SD Card in the slot and up it comes as a crd icon with the label No Name.
    I try and transfer photos from my MacBook to the card so that I may take them to the shop and put the card in thier machine and print them off.
    No Joy! I cannot drag or paste anything to the card!
    I have been to disc utilities to format to what I do not know but anyway  the only thing I can do is verify, everything else is grayed out.
    Please can anyone advise?
    2: I did manage to transfer  some of my photos to a USB stick, but when I went to the shop and put said USB into the machine the stick was not recognized!
    So, there are my two questions, any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you for reading this.  Mike T

    Is the Lock slider on your SD card in the locked position?
    Is your flash drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS? It probably has to be to work in the store's reader.

  • Transferring audiobook from Macbook Pro to iMac

    I bought an audiobook today on my Macbook Pro, forgetting that my iPhone is syncing with my iMac.  In the past I have been able to use home sharing to move songs and books from one to the other.  I can't do that today.  Anyone know why?  I am suspecting that audiobooks have been forgotten with the addition of iBooks.  They don't fall under the books or songs categories???  Is that it?

  • Transferring Photos from MacBook Pro to iMac G5

    I have been importing all my photos from my digital SLR to my Macbook Pro. But... now I am out of HD space. I want to transfer all my pics to my iMac G5 with much more HD space. What is the most effective way to do this? If I burn all the pictures to DVD, then import them to my desktop, will it import the original and edited versions of the photo?
    Next... should I transfer the photos before or after I upgrade to iLife '08???
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I assume you've been using iPhoto?
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library Folder from your Pictures Folder to the same location on the iMac. Then, to prevent any file permission issues, Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

    (Credit to Old Toad for this one).
    And, yes, do it before upgrading. One less variable to deal with.

  • Transferring files from MacBook Pro to new iMac via Firewire

    Hi guys
    My MacBook Pro is seriously on its way out and I would like to transfer my music files, work documents, photographs, videos etc. onto my brand new iMac and the best way to do this I would think would be to link the two up via Firewire. The MacBook Pro is no longer accepting my external hard drive and fails during during DVD's, so those options are out.
    So I was wondering if someone could advise me on what type of Firewire cable to get. As far as I'm aware I didn't get one with either the MacBook Pro or the new iMac, so I think a purchase is necessary however, I've spotted that there are different kinds with different ends, some which have 6-pin, 8-pin and 9-pin and I have no idea what to get. Could someone advise me on what would be the best item to get for this situation?
    My MacBook Pro is one that was the model before the black keyboards came back in, and the iMac is the brand new one at 21".
    Thanks for your help guys.
    Steve.

    Hi
    FireWire 800 / FW800 / IEEE 1394b uses a 9-pin connector for both the imac and the macbook pro.
    good luck.

  • Having a hard time transferring photos from MacBook Pro once they have been cropped or colored enhanced to my iPhone or iPad. If they have not been manipulated then they transfer fine. How can I fix this?

    I've been cropping and editing pics in my MacBook Pro but once I try to transfer them to the iPhone or iPad 2 only the photos that have not been manipulated transfer with no problems. How do I solve this problem?

    Option 1:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for the iPod Photo Cache.
    Trash it. Start iPhoto and try sync again.
    If that fails:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Use the option to check and repair library permissions

  • Transferring files from MacBook Pro hard drive to Time Capsule

    I recently bought a Time Capsule. I know I can use that as an external hard drive to save disc space on my MacBook Pro. How can I transfer files that are already on my MacBook Pro hard drive to the time capsule? For instance, I have videos of my daughter saved on MacBook Pro that I can view on iTunes or transfer them to either my iPhone or iPod Touch. Is there a way to either move individual files or the entire folder to Time Capsule?
    Thank you!

    Open the folder and drag the contents over.

  • Problems with transferring software from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air

    The store transferred applications and contents from one machine to the new one and most applications work OK. However the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard CS 4 for the Mac (purchased in October 2009) is unusable. I need two packages in particular: In Design (this is version 6.06, and keeps crashing, giving an error code 0x0008014B) while Photoshop says some components are missing and it should be reinstalled. How? Adobe says these versions are incompatible with MacBook Air and they can offer no support. I am not technically proficient and feel totally stumped. Any suggestions?
    Jokila

    I don't know. I don't own a MacBook Air. 
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number from the disks to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Please help: Transferring contacts from Macbook Pro to Nokia 5530

    Hello,
    I used iSync to transfer my contacts from my Nokia to OS X. However, I am not able to do the other way around!! I want to transfer contacts from my macbook to my phone, what am I missing?
    Thanks

    I have 5230 Nuron, what Nokia do you have?
    Did you install the iSync plugin for your Nokia model? They can be downloaded from Nokia's European site
    My plugin in iSync allows me to either merge data on both or erase Nuron and overwrite it with data from my Mac. Calendars and Contacts
