With this cable can you transfer "programs" i.e. tax sw because I need the program to open the file.

If you saved a copy of the installation files including license code and serial #s in a folder say c:\Install\TTax\2014... (as I often do for important installations, b/c I am always misplacing my installation cds and purchased downloads), you can just copy or xcopy it over to your new pc and re-install it.

If the actual .exe program is still on the pc you should be able to copy it over. If it was install by disk then you will have to re-install it on the new pc and then use the cable to copy the old data files over to the new pc in the programs directory.

If I understand your question, the short answer is no. Example: you have 2 computers, A & B. The tax software is installed on computer A along with some data files. You will have to install the tax software program on computer B also. Once this is done you can drag & drop the *data* files from A to B. Dragging the program itself from A to B will never work. Also, keep in mind that this device does not "see" every file type and some may be missed if you are not careful. A great little time-saving device with a major flaw. Use at your own risk!

No it will not. It can only transfer data. This isn't a limitation of The cable, but actually in Windows. You can certainly copy the Tax software's folder, but because of the way Windows handles programs (dll files, registry entries, etc) it wont actually run on a different computer. You should copy the database file for the Tax program and try and import that into a fresh install.

yes you can have file transfers both ways you will need a tablet or smart phone to do it

Yes. I do it all the time with my Cat 5e straight through cable to quickly transfer files between computers.

If the software could do that, which I'm not sure if it can or not. It would probably crash every time trying to transfer or convert. Don't waste your money on this product. Enough said.

I'm sure you can do it yourself on your home pc, but the easiest way is to take it into a boost stoe and have them transfer the data.

No you have to transfer it over. I wouldn't recommend this product though. It didn't work.

I only know that if it doesn't recognize what program you're transferring text to (for instance, say you're writing on a blog in Google), it opens its own 'text' box. You dictate, it appears in the box, then you can transfer it to whatever program you're working with. Hope this helps.

Sure! Just transfer them with the little cable that came with your phone. Plug it into your computer, navigate to the right folders, drag and drop! Simple!

No,not that I know. If so your phone or the device that you are transferring to, has to be able to use those files.

Ditto the last answer. File transfers require a PC or equivalent. The port of the CD unit is "Read-only".

When I purchased the cable I thought I would be able to do this...a key purchase motivation. However, I was unable to select files for transfer. Perhaps, I did not follow instructions carefully. Once the transfer process was initiated, I lost control. It was a very unsatisfactory experience.

Yes, with a caveat. I am not possitive, but i think seagate made a utility to do this. Since it contains your OP System, you cant just transfer files over. Here is an article on how to do what you want. http://lifehacker.com/5837543/how-to-migrate-to-a-solid-state-drive-without-reinstalling-windows

Yes to the first and yes to the second, but if that's jus ur intent jus buy a jump drive way cheaper. Go to airstash web site and see the main purpose use for transfering data.

Yes, you can, but it depends on the operating systems of the two computers. Here's an article on the subject. http://www.ehow.com/how_6353102_transfer-pc-using-usb-cable.html

Yes ----use a flash drive or a image card and then transfer to your preference. This mobility does not come with the software like you see on TV.

There was nothing wrong with cable I got but I never could transfer my files with it. I had Windows Vista and that may have been the problem. Wish I could be of more help but it was not the cable's fault. I think it was probably the operator - ha!!

yes as long as the software is available to convert the files from windows to mac and vise versa.
