Transferring Files from a USB Flash Drive to Your Computer. Mac OS X with a USB connection. Mac OS X with a network connection: Select the hard drive icon on your desktop or select Computer from the Go menu, select your product in the SHARED section of the sidebar (you may need to widen the sidebar to see the name). I have a new 20gb dell xmp3 player. I already own several ipods, so I'd like to know if it can be converted to an external hard drive for my mac. In most cases, you'll want to use an external hard drive to transfer files from a PC to a Mac. Fortunately, using an external hard drive to move files is easy.
First off, sorry if this topic has been covered. I have a Seagate BUP Slim SL SCSI Disk Device that I used to back up my old Macbook Pro. So I have all the files on there, and they are accessible from other Macs. I want to put all those files onto my Windows computer. When I plug the external into my computer, I hear a sound that indicates the drive is plugged in, and it powers on normally. I can see the external drive in the Device Manager under the Disk Drives section, but I don't see it in the Disk Management area or the left side of the File Explorer next to my other drives. Why can't I access my files on my Windows PC but I can on a Mac?
Because you live in a capitalistic world full of proprietary technologies. In this particular case crApple computers are using HFS file system while micro$oft do not have native support for this file system - they actually do not support any file system that is not made by M$. So when you plug a disk formatted with HFS into a windows machine, windows does not know how to handle it.

If all you need is to read files, install HFS driver for windows, if you also need to write to the disk, use something like HFS explorer.
