I would like to transfer files to my Mac from my PC via USB port due to the lack of a firewire port on my PC. What program out there that is the most popular one that gets this job done? Thanks in advance.

use a jumpdrive (flash USB drive) or external harddrive, or floppy disk, or CD-R disks, and transfer them that way
you cant just connect the two computers since Mac uses the Mac platform (Linux), and PC uses Windows, the two don't go together.

the very ultimate component to do is purchase the Mac first and then connect the two computers on a community. almost all pc on the instant have an ethernet adapter, so in case you have a router or hub, you could connect the two computers and set up a community (without router or hub, a spcial cable stated as "crossover" will do). it may additionally be conceivable to connect the computers via ability of USB, yet it extremely is far less useful. next, one pc might desire to be working a document server of a few form. there are a number of freely available strategies for the two homestead windows and Mac, so do somewhat examine and see what classes are accessible. homestead windows has some document sharing protocol out of the field, and Mac ought to be properly suited with that (it no longer, attempt something else like FTP, SFTP, etc). as quickly as between the computers is working a server, get on the different, connect, and flow the records. you do no longer might desire to burn CD's or something! All you're able to desire to be attentive to is the pc's names (or addresses) and what software to apply. Doing it this way demands somewhat of setup and tips (so it extremely is harder than employing disks), yet as quickly as set up, it extremely is actual the quickest and maximum inexpensive way. Your purely different lifelike selection is to purchase an exterior difficult stress or DVD burner (or flow forward and burn the 15 CD's).
