This is what I would do.\n\nFor your broken monitor I would get an external monitor.(you must have a desktop somewhere? Or you can get a monitor somewhere for a while? To use the external montior my lapop is Fn+F5 to switch.\n\n That way any unshare folder or what ever you need you can put and organize everything.\n\n\nOnce you put everything in one folder I would put it in a folder and compress everything with Winrar If you know how to use command with Winrar version of Mac... Or I would slowly do an upload to a server and download..\n\nhttp://www.filelodge.com (unlimit bandwidth but 500MB storage space.) So you can upload to there server and whatever you want you can download it. &#92;\n\nHope it helps and best of luck.

sad to say, but you have essentially shot yourself in the foot by buying a Mac if you are the only Mac user on your work's business network ... check with the system administrator, since he is providing the Mac support, he should know how to resolve your issue.  ... Buying a system that handicaps you at work is one quick way of making yourself expendable, not recommended and it wont endear you to anyone that has to share files with you or support your O/S when everyone else is using PC's

The MAC file system is similar to what you'll find with Linux or Unix.  It's called HFS.

Mac with Intel is wonderful.  New Macbook laptop is sooo easy to use.  You have the option to run windows or tiger,  Software is simple, I am able to transfer my ipod between a windows computer and this laptop with no problems, so It handles some windows software with no issue.  Stick with a mac and stay away from the dark world of windows!!!

you can fire wire the data depending on how new the PC is. Turn off your lap top and plug the firewire into both computers. As you turn on your Mac holddown the T key.This should open up your Macs HD as an icon on your PC's desktop (or maybe in My Computer) then you can drag and drop all the files in there. I have only done this Mac to Mac so see apple.com for more info.

I regret to say that you will not get there full explanation: the subject is not so simple.\nWhat do you intend to get from your computer? If - toying, mailing, browsing, XP will be enough for you. Note that last MAC operating systems are BSD-UNIX-based: they are professional OS'es. You can get with them everything you want -- but you will also learn a lot of (very interesting!) things...

The official answer is no - Apple generally will not allow a return of more then 30 days and even if returned within that time they charge a 10% retocking fee.\n\nYou will be able to sell it as they are quite popular (email me with what you want if you like as I am in the market for a nice powerbook G4)  The only downfall is that today, the new macbooks were released at the lowest price a mac laptop has ever been sold for with a duo core processor - (1099 for the base model) so it pretty much outperforms the powerbooks - only people (like me) who prefer the PowerPC processors will find much of a value in the powerbook models.\n\nEmail me if you are interested in selling it.\n\nThanks

Purchase a USB Cable.  You can tranfer files that way.

assuming both systems are ibm compatibles or both are macintosh then the problem would be with the drive itself. if you have a mac at work and an ibm at home, or the other way around this is your issue and all you can do at this point is get with the manufacturer and see if they provide a disk for your appropriate system. if indeed you are running the same style platform at home as at work then it is your drive. time for a new one.

well.... you said network cards....\n\nso this states to me a pci based mac that doesnt have an in-built network socket (am i correct?)\n\nthe guy above did say it could be as easy as windows file sharing, but i really really think it would be much easier with some sort of a dhcp switch box or a cheap router as both of these sort out any mess of connections, alls is needed is to tell the mac where the windows pc is via ip connection to a foler and bingo , instant file sharing possible (BUT, this os osx information)\n\nif you want to SHARE like a windows pc on anything os 9.x or below  id suggest looking up Dave 5.1 or below  (there is an osx version but really... its already ready to do what dave does in osx so its rather pointless on anything above os 9.x to use dave)\n\n\np.s dave is not free , you do get a trial, and boy when i had a go at that with the os8.6 and 9.2 & 9.4  (9.4 is the osx updated os9) it worked REALLY REALLY good, it shared folders, it logged into a domain created on a linux box acting like a windows server,  and it played doom3 networked which is really really funny and awesome\n\ni know im babbling on but there is a point to my madness lol..  i just hope its seen and understood

I could be wrong, but is the hard drive formatted for the Mac?  You may need to format it so it can ready/write on it.\n\nI dont know Mac's too well.  Has the device ever been connected to a PC?  If so, it may have a different file format.  That is why you cant do anything.  If there is anything on the drive, formatting it would remove that just to warn you.  I dont know how to change formats in a Mac.  Hopefully someone can chime in on that.

you can get osx to run on a dell or an amd. I got bored and its running on my work pc which is a dell and its also running on my xBox. you just need to be not a noob. but honestly if you just switch to mac you will fall inlove. Trust me i switched about 19 months ago. I am an A+ certifed technician my last pc was an AMD 64 FX 53 with 4 gigs of ram and 1 terabyte of hdd. i loved my windows but needed a mac cert for my new job so i got one thinking this will suck. i sold my pc 6 weeks later. mac is the only thing i need its so much nicer
