Transferring personal files/folders from Dell PC to an iPad2 or iPad3?

Is it possible to load some personal files/folders from my existing Dell desktop to an iPad2 or 3? Nothing too big, just some MS Office Word and Excel docs, pictures, and some PDF docs. I'm trying to figure out if I can/should replace my current PC with an iPad, just for personal use, not work. I'm so used to a USB port and flash drive to copy and move stuff and I understand the iPad doesn't have that capability, so I am kind of lost here. I have an iPhone 4 so am a little familiar with the apple navigation. Any suggestions/recommendations from experienced iPad users is appreciated!!

My formatting stays intact. Docs to Go talks about their 'intact technology' that keeps tabs, etc, where they were.
Obviously any mobile app is far less robust than a bonafide word processing program, but minor formatting, bold, italics, underline, tabs, etc seem to transfer quite well.
I don't have any complicated excel spread sheets so I don't have any experience with their functionality.
I've found the docs to to go be virtually seamless. That said, I've never used them with 'fancy formatting', so that may be trial and error.

Can I remove backuped files/folders from Azure Backup storage without un-registor the servers ?

Can I remove backuped files/folders from Azure Backup storage without un-registor the servers ?
I want to remove some backuped files/folders to compact Azure Backup Storage and to save the cost of Azure Backup.
Scenario 1: remove tempolary files from Azure Backup Storage.
Scenario 2: remove no-recovery files from Azure Backup Storage.
Scenario 3: move the files from backup target folder to other storage's folder.
Now, To remove backup files/folder from Azure Backup storage, I seems to need un-register the servers, and register the server.

Yoshihiro Kawabata

Thank you Giri, for quick reply.
I want to save the Azure Backup storage cost, now.
I don't want to pay the Azure Backup storage cost for no-restore-need files until the backup point gets aged.
and I don't want to remove / re-backup the restore need files by un-register/register operation.
I feedback this issue to feedback.azure.com.

Transferring iCal files directly from one computer to another

HI,
I like to transfer files directly from my work computer to my home computer over the internet or using a flash drive. According to the support page, there should be .ics files in the Library>Calendars folder that can be transferred. I modified iCal yesterday, but there are no files in the Library> Calendars folders! Any suggestions on where they may be. It seems strange that you HAVE to have a mobileme account to transfer your calendar this way.
Thanks for any help,
ellen and her cats

Wow, what a quick response! Thanks, Limnos. I guess it was bleeding' obvious, and I should have thought of it before. Such a simple solution!
On a related matter, I also have just realised that the iTunes iOS backups are saved on the internal computer drive in a folder called MOBILESYNC rather than on an external drive, thus chewing up a lot of capacity on my SSD. Others reading this response may be interested to know that it is easy to have iTunes save the iOS backups to any external drive using a symbolic link in this directory. Go to
http://support.digidna.net/hc/en-us/articles/203504123-Storing-your-iPhone-Backu ps-on-an-Alternate-Location
for the details.
However, note that iBooks will NOT let you use this work-around, pathetic app that it is.

Not able to copying files/folders from one Document Library to another Document Library using Open with Browser functionality

Hi All,
We have SharePoint Production server 2013 where users are complaining that they are not able to copy or move files from one document library to another document library using “Open with Explorer” functionality.
We tried to activate publishing features on production server but it did not work. We users reported following errors:
Copying files from one document library to another document library:
Tried to map the document libraries and still not get the error to copy files:
In our UAT environment we are able to copy and move folders from using “Open with Explorer” though.
We have tried to simulate in the UAT environment but could not reproduce the production environment.
Any pointers about this issue would be highly appertained.
Thanks in advance

Hi John and all,
One the newly created web applications that we created few days back and navigated to document library, clicked on “Open with Explorer”, we get this error.
We're having a problem opening this location in file explorer. Add this website to your trusted and try again.
We added to the trusted site in Internet Explorer for this web application, cleared the cache and open the site with same document library but still get the same above error.
However, another existing web application (In same the Farm) that we are troubleshooting at the moment, we are able click on “Open with Explorer”, login in credentials opens and we entered the details we are able to open the document
library and tried to follow these steps:
From Windows Explorer (using with Open with Explorer), tried to copy or move a files to
source document library.
From Windows Explorer moved this file to another destination document library and we got this error.
What we have to achieve is users should be able to copy files and folders using
Open with Explorer functionality. We don’t know why Open with Explorer
functionality not work working for our environment.
Are we doing something wrong?
We have referred to following websites.
we hope concepts of copying / Moving files are similar as SharePoint 2010. Our production environment is SharePoint 2013.

Best Way to Migrate Home Folders from Dell Windows 2003 to XServe 10.6

We are migrating Directory services and File service from a Windows Server to an Xserve running 10.6. What is the best way to copy over all of the data including everyone's home folders from the Windows server to our new Xserve while preserving the file attributes?
Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,
good news for you - since Oracle 11g it is allowed to have a physical standby between Windows and Linux. So the absolutely easiest way would be to build up a standby on your new Linux server, do a switchover with one minute downtime at a maximum ... and that's it.
You may check ML Note:413484.1 for certification (the table shows which OS mix is allowed).
The process will be the following:
1) Let RMAN build up your standby automatically through the network while your PROD is still running
2) Once RMAN has done this job you'll do a simple switchover
If a standby solution is not an option for you, then you could use Data Pump on a NETWORK_LINK.
This means: You build up a new and empty database on your RHEL server - you create a database link between those two databases.
Then you run a full import without creating a dump file through the db-link:
IMPDP usr1/password NETWORK_LINK=db_link1 FULL=Y
You may check out Note:553337.1 for more info on Data Pump.
Transportable Tablespaces or Transportable Database with RMAN would also be an option but those require some additional prep work.
Kind regards
Mike

In idvd 6.0.1 how do I delete/remove files/folders from the media pane?

for some reason some of the folders in my photos media pane are now empty? how do I get rid of those folders?

iDVD is a tool for creating videoDVDs from some media (stills, video, music)
it is NOT the Finder, which is the Mac's "app" to handle files&folders
and it is NOT the "creator" of stills (iPhoto), videos (iMovie) or music (iTunes)
spend some time reading here: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/

Cannot restore some files/folders from Time Machine Backup

When I try and restore files or folders from my Pictures folder, which is a sub folder of my user I get the message "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access xxxx". As far as I can tell this has only just started to happen because I've recovered stuff from the folder since I bought the machine in July. Yesterday I deleted an old Time Machine backup folder from the Time Machine disc. This caused empty trash to go berserk - the "files to delete" count went negative and I had to stop/restart the empty trash command about 20 times before it sorted itself out. Maybe this has screwed some permissions somewhere? I have run disc utility and repaied permissions on my hard drive and verified the TM drive. Still no joy. The permissions for Pictures look OK. Anyone any ideas?

Yesterday I deleted an old Time Machine backup folder from the Time Machine disc. This caused empty trash to go berserk - the "files to delete" count went negative
Probably you corrupted your Time Machine Backup by manually deleting older backups- that is dangerous.

I hope that helps

Permanently exclude certain files & folders from backup

I see in the discussions where you can delete certain files or folders from TM backups. Does this exclude those files from future backups as well? Or do you have to go back into TM every time and delete them?
Thanks.

No. But you can add files/folders to the TM exclusion list in system preferences->TM->options. that will stop future backups of those files/folders.

Using jdk1.3.1 to transfer files/folders from one directory to another

I am writing a simple program to transfer files and folders from one directory to another
For example, I have some files and folders in C:\send\ directory.
I want to know how to move them to C:\receive\ directory.
Can someone please tell me which class I should use and which method?
I need to complete this urgently.
Thanks.
Deeply appreciate it.

not very difficult. You should use the File class and the "renameTo" method.
Example:
File origin = new File("c:\\lost\\myFile.zer");
File dest = new File("c:\\found\\myFile.zer");
origin.renameTo(dest);Of course you have to take care that the file doesn't exists previously, etc. But i think that all you need is in the File class.
Hope this helps.

How do I add files/folders from school to my Dropbox on iPad

I've emailed downloaded lectures for school to myself...Dropbox says I can create files/ folders and I am at a loss as to how to do this. I want to save all lectures/ material to my iPad and move them to Dropbox...I have win zip and iCab too...just don't have the knowledge to use them

With Dropbox installed, Go to the mail that you received, click and hold on the attachement and you will receive an Open in ... dialog, select Dropbox or folder in dropbox.
Go to Dropbox App and verify.

Deleteing files/folders from network drive

I have a USB drive connected in to my Airport Extreme and I have conifgured user level access accounts for this. The four the iMac G4, iMac G5, iBook and Powerbook are all able to copy and delete files/folders with no problems. My Windows Vista machine is able to copy files/folders but I am only able to delete folders when they contain no files or sub-folders - sadly I do not have access to the full message but it is related to not having the correct permissions.
The USB drive is Mac OS X Extended format as a Fat 32 format drive did not appear on the network (this was before the recent Airport update though).
Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so - do you know of a way around it?

Guess it's just me
Any ideas?

How do I retrieve specific files/folders from separate machine's backup

Had a hard drive failure this morning. Now I'm on a temporary laptop without my files. I share a Time Capsule between 4 users. My backup is on there, and looks ok (although, I can't really figure out how to browse what's backed up - separate issue).
On my temporary machine, I'd like to be able to grab specific files from my backup while I wait to get my machine back from support.
I referenced FAQ tip 17 ( http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/17.html ) - and when I open up the Browse other Time Machine Disks - it's blank.
Any Ideas would be tremendously helpful, and I will love you for ever and ever and ever.

You'll probably have to manually mount the sparse bundle for the desired Mac, by double-clicking it via the Finder. Then it should show up in the list.
But you may not be able to view or restore much that way; the user account on the temporary laptop probably isn't recognized as the same user in the backups of the other Mac. Your best bet in that case is to use +Migration Assistant+ to transfer the user account in question to the temporary laptop. Then you can sign on there, just as you did on your Mac. See: [Using Migration Assistant|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Migrate.html].
Note that if space is a problem, you can omit the contents of some of the top-level folders. And, once the account has been transferred, you should be able to restore selectively from those backups, via the "Star Wars" display.

How do I restore individual files/folders from Time Machine to a PC?

My Mac of six years have crashed and been sent to the apple hospital for surgery, but I had time machine backing up all my files. Yah! Now with the help of 'macdrive' I can see the files on my windows computer, but when I tried to restore any individual files or folders to the pc, nothing.
I would click on the files from my external drive and a box comes up for 'where do you want to copy selected files?'. Right-clicking only provide the 'copy', 'copy to', and 'create a shortup' options. Whichever options I try, no copies/restored files is created.
How do I restore the files (not the entire system, just pictures and documents) to a windows computer?
Help please

You need to be more specific what types of files are you trying to restore. It sounds like you just need to learn how to use TM which is pretty darn easy. Here is one good article and you can always use Apple's find out how video on TM.

Trouble transfering photo files (DNG) from one Mac to another

I have a Mac G4 ibook (1.2 Ghz, 768 RAM, OS 10.4.9) and a new Mac Quad tower (2.66gHZ, 3Gb Ram, and OS 10.4.10). Both computers can import photof iles from my compact flash card via a card reader, but the old iBook of course takes longer. I import via Adobe Bridge and convert from Canon CR2 to DNG files. When I travel, I take my iBook and save my hundreds of photos to it. I am having big trouble copying the photos from my iBook to my Quad. I activate file sharing (via Airport) and drag the file containing the photos from the iBook to my desktop on the Quad. The process always starts fine, transfers a number of photos, but then stalls out. I have to figure out which photo it stalls on, delete it from the ibook, and start over. Downloading hundreds of photos becomes an arduous task because it stalls out so many times.
Any suggestions about how to fix this problem? Does it have anything to do with one computer being Intel based and the other not? Any suggestions?

An Airport connection may not be the best way to transfer the volume of information that you are dealing with. I suggest that you use a Firewire cable to connect the two computers and start up the iBook in Firewire Target Disk Mode. Just hold down the "t" key during startup. The iBook will appear as a mounted disk on you desktop. You can then move the files you need to your other machine. The data transfer rate will be much higher and more reliable.
