Sorry if silly question but file transfer

Well my macbook air says that the startup disk is full.  so I bought an external drive.  I want to transfer my pictures on the computer to the reader.  If I delete the pictures after transfer is it will delete them on my iPhone? also what tips/simple way to achieve this?

Thank you

It is not at all a stupid question...

Transfer of photos from your Mac to an external drive should not delete the photos form your iPhone.

Connect the external hard drive. When the disc icon appears on the desktop, drag the photos on this drive. If the drive does not appear on the desktop, go to Finder > Preferences > General. Make sure that the external drives is selected.

Other elements that are important to the storage space are > http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html

  • Network file transfer speed in windows 7

    I have a working network.

    Files shared in a warehouse are used by other customers. (file size is 1 GB and more)

    Some customers use windows XP and some customers use windows XP.

    My operating system file server is windows server 2008 and I use file sharing.

    The use of files shared in windows XP (software import and editting) has no problem, but in the same use in windows 7, it is very slow.

    File transfer speed is slow and the access to the files in the software takes a long time.

    Example: In windows XP, a 12 GB file is imported into edius pro in a second, but same file in windows 7 takes 65 seconds to import

    What security options are why, or how I can solve it?

    Hello

    Which version of Win 7, you use in client side, he logged in as a domain for win 2008 Server.
    I hope that the system win 7 is not a task force. Home network with one or more computers running Windows 7 can experience slow file transfer speeds, specifically during the transfer of files with other computers running different operating systems,

    Turn off and disable the Compression feature differential to remove Windows 7 can be a solution to slow copying files, file move or delete the file bug.

    • Click the Windows 7 start button, then go to control panel.
    • Click on the link programs.
    • In programs & features section, select features Windows activate or disable the link.
    • Uncheck the remote differential Compression checkbox.
    • Click OK.
    • Wait for the feature to be disabled.
    • Once completed, restart the computer.

    How to organize and archive files

    Allows you to do this by using the organizational tools built into Windows 7. The first place wherever I start looking at is my downloads folder since I do a lot of downloading.

    In order to properly analyze what we can, keep and move to an external hard drive, we'll use the menu to change the view . Click on the menu to change the view, and then click details.

    You will notice that your files are organized with more details. To further customize the view, click the Date Modified column header. This will allow us to view the files when they were used or last edited. Another column, I recommend that you post is the Date created column.

    Right-click on the column heading, and then click on created.

    This will give us a better idea of the age of the file and if its worth keeping.

    Looking through my downloads folder, I have files going back to the beginning of 2007 and the last time that I accessed them were in 2007. Certainly not useful to keep on disk. If these files will be archived and moved to my external hard drive.

    Archiving

    Obviously, to do something like that, you're going to need an external hard drive. You could choose DVD as a backup method, but they can be unreliable and more a chore, especially with the permutation of the disc in question. Once you have identified the files you need to Archive, open your external hard drive and create a folder specially for these files called Archive.

    Open it and then go back to the (window) folder where your old files are currently on your local hard drive. Select the files, and then click organize > copy

    Return to the folder Archive (window) we have created on the external hard drive, and then click organize > then click Paste

    Please wait while files are copied to. Once this done, go back to the folder and click on organize > delete or press Delete on your keyboard.

    Simplify the file selection and copy

    If you want to select files in a date range, just select the first file then click on any file within the range, see below:

    Repeat these steps for the other records of the person such as Documents, music, photos and videos. When you are finished archiving, you can move to permanently delete these files from your bin if all are stored:

  • File Transfer issue between 10.4.11 + 4.4 Android phone

    Hello.

    I recently got a Polaroid link 6 "A6WH smartphone, Google Android KitKat 4.4 running, and despite being told of Polaroid that I should be able to transfer files (ie. photos, music, videos) between this phone and a G4 aluminum PowerBook running OS 10.4.11 (old, Yes, I know!), I can't. I was told that I have to download Android File Transfer, which I did, but it didn't work (it only works on OS 10.5). Android File Transfer is Version 1.0 - I don't think that there is no earlier version.

    I tried to search on this forum and elsewhere online, some have suggested other programs, such as AirDroid, but when I tried to download them, they would not work with OS 10.4.11.

    I was able to transfer files over a Bluetooth connection - and only from the computer (and not vice versa). The USB cable provided with the phone doesn't seem to work (anyway) without a program to make it easier.

    Any suggestions for transfer files (ie. photos, music, videos) between these devices - via the USB port, or even simply through Bluetooth, back from the phone to the computer?

    Also, are all the programs available to convert video to MP4 format files, as I can't get the phone to open any other format - BTW, free is better!)

    Note: I would have gotten an iPhone, except for the fact that we tried to get rid of some AirMiles points that were about to expire, and they have not one!

    Thank you

    I have (and have had) smartfones non-Apple for some time

    To transfer ALL kinds of files, I just use an intermediary "cloud service".

    Many here will advise you http://dropbox.com/ as a reliable and free service

    * NOTE: Dropbox is more supported by OS X Tiger with their desktop app - but access via the Web site is not affected (I use TenFourFox: a fork of Mozilla Firefox ESR 38 for Power Macintosh and Mac OS X Tiger PowerPC as a browser)

  • Messages - file transfer fail to all types of files (pdf, pages, jpeg, png,...).

    Since a few days now, I have been able to receive any type of files in Messages app. I tried a few things that I could find online (and in previous discussions of apple). Nothing has worked. The only time I am able to open a file is when I send it to someone else or that I send it to me.

    I have tried disconnecting, signature by signing in with a different address and even someone else, have removed the thinking com.apple.ichat.jabber.plist that as is, jabber, etc.

    In addition, I don't have an iPhone, so my phone is not connected to the Messages.

    Here's what happens:

    I click on the file to download, but nothing happens.

    If I go to the 'file transfer' and then click on the download arrow, it shows "preparing..." " for about two seconds and then stops without loading anything.

    When I open "Console", I get this message after receiving a file:

    Is there something I can do to solve this problem, or I can only hope the next Messages updated to fix it?

    Thank you for your help (to come)!
