Transporting info from PC to MAC

Ever since I got my Mac I've been trying to put my music and pictures from my PC onto my MAC. To transport these items I've tried using two different Mac supported usb storage memory thingys. Every time I try to open these items out of either of the usb memory things it asks me to choose an application and of course none of my applications work with the items. On my PC for my music I was using Microsoft Media Player which I have successfully used and installed on my MAC so in theory the MP3's should open on the same program which they used to play on on my PC. They pictures I have been trying yo move are all JPGs and should open on Previewer. But nothing is working and no one from the usb memory storage companies or the people at apple are able to help because they have no idea what I'm talking about. Please Help Me!

I'd watch out. Windows Media Player for the Mac is not NEARLY as nice as the Windows version. I have a Palm Pilot, and the Mac version CANNOT read my video files. So perhaps it also cannot read the Windows audio files.

Perhaps the images are corrupted.

    i transfered all of my info from my old mac to my new one..but the show up as 2 different user accounts..how can i make it only one??

    Log in from one account, drag the other account's home folder from the Users folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, move anything you want into the corresponding location of the current account's home folder, and use the Accounts pane of System Preferences to remove the other account. You cannot delete a logged-in account or the only administrator account on the machine from System Preferences.

  • How can I transfer all my info from my old mac to a new one?

    how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • How do I transfer my info from my old Mac Mini to my new one?

    I have two Mac Mini's.  The old one is a Power Mac 10.5.8 (no Intel) and the new one is a dual system running Snow Leopard 10.6.7.  I only have one monitor and a wireless connection.  How do I transfer my older files and applications from my old Mac to the new one?  I bought a 40/80 Firewire cable and connected it to the proper ports, and changed the monitor setting to shared...held down the T and restarted the old Mac...still nothing.  (These were tips I got from forums.)  Anyone have other ideas? 
    Baring that, I also tried to save my files to a dvd and put them in a burn folder, clicked burn, but it wouldn't burn.  I never used it before...am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks,
    Anna

  • Syncing info from Centro to Mac OS X snow leopard

    I went from a PC to a Mac ("snow leopard") recently and found that the Palm does not support the Mac with its hot-syncing system for my Centro.  How do I get my address info and calendar onto my Mac without typing them all in by hand?  I looked into the two third-party systems that were supposed to do this, but found them to be inefficient for my purposes. Any suggestions out there? Thanks!
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    I just switched to a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard also. I read that the Palm Desktop was not comp with SL. I purchased The Missing Sync from Mark/Space and it is working fine. I did loose the ability to use certain programs such as Pocket Quicken but overall, it works well.
    Good Luck

  • Migrating music and all iTunes info from pc to Mac

    I have just purchased my first Mac.. I have been totally unsuccessful migrating any information over.
    I have even selected single folders and 10 hrs later no luck.
    How do i get all of my itunes music,podcasts etc transfered over to my new Mac?
    Help please...

    First, you have to transfert your iTunes file from your PC to your Mac. To do so, you have to go to your music folder on your PC and locate the "iTunes" folder. Copy it to an external hardrive. Then, copy this folder on your Mac into the Music folder.
    Now maintain the alt button on your Mac and open iTunes. It will ask you if you want create or locate your iTunes Library. Click on choose library. Select your iTunes folder.
    You will then have all your playlists, music, videos, podcasts back.

  • Can't get info from "about This Mac"

    I want to purchase a replacement battery for my Powerbook g4 15". For this I need the model #, which normally I can obtain by clicking on "About this mac" from the apple logo at the top of the screen. But not today.Absolutely nothing happens when I click it besides that it's highlighted in blue. I can get "Software Update", "System Preferences", "Dock", "Recent Items." I can surf the internet with Safari.
    What is going on?
    Is there another way to access this information?
    Thank you....

    Try logging out and back in.
    If no joy, log out and back in as a different user, creating one if need be.

  • Transferring my info. from my old Mac to my new Mac

    Both of the systems are G4 laptops, however everytime I start the transfer process it stalls.
    I've tested the older system with the installation CD and everything passed. any suggestions on what should I try next?

    You should try running Disk Utility from the install disk on the old computer and Verify the hard drive. Sounds like on of the following is happening:
    1) There is something strange with the consistency of the drive (which Disk Utility should report if true),
    2) Problem with a bad sector/mechanism on the old PB drive (hopefully not),
    3) Some kind of firewire transfer error.
    4) Strange bug in the migration assistant.
    After ruling out 1) and 2) you should try another firewire cable. If all this doesn't yield you may want to try transferring a sub-set of the optional items to copy in order to see what portion is causing the problem. That may give a clue as to what is happening. I would start by transferring the User information.

  • Storage Info From About This Mac Hasn't Reflected my 58GB Deletion

    I deleted all my photos and videos (45 GB and 13.8 GB respectively) from my Macbook Air running OS/X Yosemite 10.10.2
    How come my storage details haven't updated?
    The photos and videos were original content which I deleted from iPhoto using the Apple Key + ALT + Delete combo-key. Also, I did this so I can upgrade to 10.10.3 which apparently needs 7GB of storage which I wouldn't have had without deleting my photos and videos. And I still don't have that storage amount because my deletions aren't reflecting. There's nothing to empty in the trash too.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

  • Transferring info from old Mac?

    How do I get to the Setup Assistant?  I declined transferring info from my old Mac when I first set up my new MacBookAir because I didn't have access to my previous computer at the time.  Now I need to do it and can't find the Setup Assistant screen that asks if I already own a Mac.   Help!

    Use the Migration Assistant in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Note that it will create a new Mac OS X user account.

  • How do you transfer info from an external hard drive from a PC to a Mac

    How do you transfer info from a external hard drive from a pc to a imac?

    Expanding on what Niel said, a Mac can mount and read just about any hard drive from a Windows system. It can't write to an NTFS-formatted drive without third-party drivers, but it can read them. So as Niel indicated, you should be able to just connect the drive to your Mac and drag-copy over whatever you want. If you want to save things from the Mac to that drive, then it will need to be formatted either as FAT32 or exFAT, or if it's NFTS you'll again need drivers.
    Regards.

  • Changing from PC to Mac & want to retain my iTunes info

    Hey folks: I'm eager to switch from my PC to a Mac, but I can't figure out how to get my iTunes info from my PC into my Mac. I can access my music files, since they're on an external hard drive, and I've been able to successfully import the library, but it doesn't bring over all my information like rating, play history, date added etc. Any advice? Please contact me directly at [email protected] Thanks much, Matt.
