How does one transfer files from pc to mac?
I recently bought an apple mac. I have files on my older pc laptop that I wish to transfer to my new computer, but when my external hard drive is formated for pc to put the files onto it from my old laptop, my mac is unable to read any of the data on it. When I reformat it to mac, the data is erased… Can someone help me out?
