FAQ

Do I need to know where to put the files on my Mac® computer? No, the software will transfer the files to the Mac and put them in the correct place so that they will appear automatically when you open the applications associated with the files.

Will all my files automatically populate into the different applications, i.e., iPhoto®, iTunes®, address book? Your files should populate automatically into their default applications. When the transfer is complete, open your applications to see your files. You should not need to restart your computer.

iCal®, Mail, and Address Book will ask for your permission to import items.

Where can I find the files I have transferred? The easiest way to find your files is to open them in their default Mac applications. However, you can also navigate to them on the Mac in the Finder:

  1. Open Finder.
  2. In the left-hand pane of the Finder, click your Home folder.
  3. Use the table below to find the files in Finder.
