transfer

Two years ago I posted about these and have run into them again. I'm getting ready to transfer from a 1TB Fusion Mac to a 512 M2. And I ran into hundreds of these files. Can I just delete them? I'd rather get rid of them now than have some footnote or asterisk or drop down show up muddling the...

This seems to not be as easy to find an answer to as I thought. I have a TM External backup. It's been acting weird, so to be safe I'd like to transfer ALL the backups (back to January) that are currently on that HD). I've read about setting Extended Journaled vs. AFPS; I've read the 2016 "how...

About a month ago I bought a G-Tech 500 GB G Drive. It is formatted for a mac and has worked fine until yesterday. At first it would not stay mounted. I would have it connected and after a few min would disapear off the desktop and I would get a message saying it was improperlly removed and...

Hi. I just installed a new Hitachi E7K1000 1GB HD into my Powermac G5. I then found out my Powermac only uses drives at the 1.5GB transfer speed rate... i checked the specs for the hitachi drive at OWC and it says it is 3.0GB, not a 1.5/3.0GB hybrid. Could this cause trouble? The drive seems to...

I installed MacDrive on a windows machine, and hooked up my mac formatted harddrive to transfer over some files. During the transfer, the power cable to the harddrive got disconnected. When I tried plugging it back into the Mac, it would only show up in disk utility, but i could not repair or...

I'm having problems transferring photos from my camera to the computer. The transfer stops and just hangs there. I can't stop the transfer, unmount the CF card, shut down, or restart. The only way to recover is to hold down the power button and restart. The system does not freeze, just the...

When I try to download photos from my compact disk via a Lexar firewire reader, the transfer stalls after transferring 5 to 7 files. I have to restart to cancel it. This is after a clean install of OS 10.2.8. It is not the reader since it works with my laptop with no problem. I now have to burn...

I am thinking of buying a new imac which means transfering my keychain data (apart from everthing else!) from my previous mac running Jaguar to Tiger. Is there an easy way of transfering all the keychain data from the old computer to the new one?

Hi, I took the advice & bought a floppy disc drive (unbranded), BUT it would not work! When plugged into the USB socket at the back of the keyboard it gave me a window saying it did not have enough power. When plugged into the back of the computer it came up with a warning notice that it had...

I need to transfer the entire contents of a beige Power Mac G3 and an old G3 powerbook running 9.2.2. (neither have a firewire) to a firewire hard drive. Presently, I have the hard drive connected to a G4 Powerbook running 10.4.2. I've been able to connect from the G3s to the G4 via ethernet...

I have a high level of mac expertise. This is frustrating as I am having trouble with file transfers using USB 2.0 on two different macs. The first mac is a Powerbook G4 Titanium 667. The other mac is a desktop Dual 500 G4. Since neither mac has USB 2.0 natively available, I added a SIIG PCI...

I found the problem to my previous thread but now I have a new one. I've set my new HDD up as the master and my old almost dead one up as a slave. Being that I had to install my OS onto my new HDD I am left starting from scratch. I was wondering if there was a way I could take all my data and...

Hi, my primary computer is an iBook which I've got set up to automatically update the stored songs on my iPod mini. I've also got a PC with the most recent version of iTunes for XP installed on it. When I buy a new CD, I rip the files to my iBook via iTunes first and then update my iPod from...

I got a new iPod. Yea!! :D Now how can I transfer my playlists and music from my current iPod to my new one? I'd rather not have to copy them all to my HD and back as my old iPod contains 6.48 gigs of music and I don't have that much HD space. Anyone know of any good Apple Scripts or...

Hi all, I've done some searching but haven't seen the same thing reported elsewhere. Hopefully this isn't a dup. Any time I try to transfer a file to another user with Yahoo! IM file transfer, I get the following: "The Yahoo! Messenger service has sent the following error message: The...
