Intel Mac :: How To Transfer Files Wirelessly To Windows Based Laptop
Mar 30, 2012
I have an iMac but want to send files wirelessly to my Windows based laptop (Windows 7 Ultimate). Not complex files but folders containing documents etc... we share the same wifi network but I haven't got a clue.
can we make desktop image of lion recovery or is there any alternate way , so that i can transfer and store it in my windows based computer.i don't have any time capsule or pendrive with high storage space...2nd Does Bootcamp effect speed or performance of your machine and can bootcamp read windows 8
I have a MacBook with 10.6.4 and trying to connect PC with Windows 7 wirelessly, computer to computer. I'm trying to go into MacBook from PC laptop to copy files. Is this possible? I tried "Creating Network..." under Airport menu on MacBook, but couldn't get it to work. Is it possible with ethernet cable? I could always burn CDs but trying to learn little bit about network and stuff.
also, their all .avi video's. and i'm really confused! also, quicktime isn't letting me play .avi videos for some reason! and vlc won't download for me. and i'll put them on a USB but they wont download on my computer!
I'm trying to do it with a USB drive. Well, I plug in the drive and nothing happens. Usually when I plug something in my Mac will recognize it and it will open up. So what do I do? The USB drive is by HP... and I used another drive by Ultra Speed and that one worked just fine (but I can't use it anymore because I broke it... I took it out too early and now it won't let me put any files on it?). Is there a button
I'm sure this has been asked before so please forgive me. I have found arguments that say just use Migration assistant to some saying I need to cherry-pick certain items.
I'm trying to copy files from one server based backup to another but after completing part of the transfer I keep getting "error code -50" and only part of the files copy. How can I keep this from happening?
macbook wirelessly connected online using airport express. Also print wirelessly from the airport express. but i have this ibm laptop that connects wirelessly to the airport express. How do i make it print wirelessly? Cant seem to get it working. Do i need to install the printer on the computer first to make sure it works?
I have a HP Pavillion desktop where I download most of my music. I also have a MacbooK Pro Unibody (bought it in February 2010). I use my iPods and iPad with my Macbook Pro so I always use a USB thumbdrive to transfer my music from my PC to my MBP. I've heard of something called a DropBox that people use to transfer files from their iPad to their MBP. Can I do something like that to transfer my music and pictures from my PC to my MBP without having to use a thumbdrive?
I'm required to use a windows laptop for work but use a 2010 iMac for home, I need more screen space when working - is it possible to use the iMac as a second screen connected to my windows laptop? iMac runs on mac osx only, no bootcamp.
I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard and Windows 7 installed on it. I have my iTunes library of about 250 songs (so not a huge one) in Snow Leopard, not Windows 7. I am interested in purchasing a Zune HD and syncing the iTunes content to it.
Now here comes my question(s):
Does removing the DRM (upgrading to iTunes-Plus) allow the content to be moved onto the Zune HD? If so, could I copy my music, videos, etc. to an external hard drive, boot into Windows 7, transfer the files into Windows, and sync my content to the Zune HD? Would this work? Also, would I sync through the Microsoft Zune software, or what?
My old PC crashed so I bought an iMAc and wanted to transfer files I have backed up on a WD My Passport. I tried using the Migration assistant on my new iMac but it wouldn't recognize it.
I was wondering if there is a easy way of taking all my itunes files on a PC which include books, videos, music, and apps including my iPhone and iPad.Yes good people in this forum I have taken the plunge and left the PC world for the Mack and I will be receiving my new 27 inch imach next week
I just bought my first mac (yay!) and am trying to transfer my files off of my old pc. The problem is that I stored all my personal files on an external hard drive, which is of course formatted for windows. My mac will open it, but it is "read only." I tried plugging it back into my pc and using the Migration Assistant to transfer my files over, but it was not detected (rest of the pc was).
However, the second time I tried plugging it in to my pc, it told me it would need to be formatted first. Obviously my mac has changed something on it, and now all my personal files are on a hard drive that is unusable by either my old pc or my new mac!
I have Quicken 2007 for Mac on my G4 and would like to move it to my new iMac currently running Lion. I downloaded the recently-released update that will allow Quicken to run on Lion, then downloaded the file to an external USB drive. I then uploaded it to my iMac, and Quicken opens, but does not have any of my account information. I then deleted the files from my iMac and downloaded another copy of Quicken 2007 from the Quicken website. I then downloaded the update to my iMac, but it would not open. So, it appears that I have to transfer it form my G4, but need to do it in a way that will also transfer my data.
I ordered a firewire cable and am planning to try to move it directly. In the meantime, does anybody have any tips? Just so you know, I really want to use Quicken.
