Free transfer files from desktop to laptop software for mac

Mac OS X maintains a pseudo desktop database for each user. The data is stored in 3 files, and each has a backup file which is invisible.
Rebuild OSX Desktop is a small AppleScript that essentially forces the Finder to rebuild the desktop by trashing these files.

Warning: The script will empty the Trash.

Completly freeware.

If you have ever come back to your mac desktop and suddenly found you have hundreds of files covering it (perhaps because you saved them there, or perhaps due to a sod at work), the Argh - My Desktop! program will sort it.

Completly freeware for personal use.

Requirements:
System 7.0 or later.

Total Desktop Rebuild is a free system extension that allows you to completely erase all your desktop files so that they are rebuilt from scratch when the startup process is over. To delete all the desktop files on all your disks, simply hold down the Command and Option keys while Total Desktop Rebuild is loading. A small red flash is then added to the startup icon, and Total Desktop Rebuild attempts to do its job.

Total Desktop Rebuild needs the desktop files to be closed in order to delete them, which may not be the case if some previously loaded extension has opened them. I added a space character before the extension’s name to make it load early, but you might have to further arrange your extensions’ loading order if Total Desktop Rebuild doesn’t seem to work.

Note: Total Desktop Rebuild will completely delete all your file comments.

Total Desktop Rebuild is a power user tool and shouldn’t be used if you don’t know what you are doing

Whats it for?
As you begin to use your IMS computers you will probably want to transfer documents created on your Macintosh to your IMS network folder. If your file name does not include the correct three-letter file extension then your IMS computer may not know which application to use to open the file. That means you will have to select the correct application each time you open a transferred file. You can add the correct file extension for each file manually if you want to. Not a big deal for a handful of documents. But could be a real chore if you have lots and lots of files. Or you can just let this magic little application do it for you.

How does it work?
Magic of course! Just select a list of files you want to convert and drop them on the magic hat icon. Then watch it perform.
It auto-magically checks the file type and adds the correct file extension to the file name. Because some operating systems cant handle file names longer than 31 characters, it will also truncate the file name to 27 characters (the dot and the three-letter extension make it 31).
If the new 31 character file name is already used a dialog box will appear asking you to select a different name. If the name you select is already in use then the operation will stop. You will have to check your files and try again with any files that were not already converted.

What files does it convert?
It will currently work with Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents; AppleWorks documents and FileMaker Pro documents. All other files will be ignored. If you have a lot of documents from another application, let me know and I will add them to the list and send you an update.

Does you desktop look like a couple of bulls in a china shop? Have no fear, Desktop Dustup is here.

Desktop Dustup is a widget that every so often moves old files from your desktop to the trash. All those downloaded PDFs cluttering up your Desktop are a thing of the past. Just install Desktop Dustup, enter how long you want to keep files, and turn on the garbage collector by pushing the on button. (You can just as easily turn off the garbage collector whenever you like).

Fast File Saw & Joiner 3.1 is a very flexible and effective tool which splits files into smaller pieces or chunks using the .001 .002 etc format where the number in the extension is a piece of the original file.

It will also rejoin these file pieces for later use. Supports pieces and files larger than 2GB. Designed for file transfer, storage, and spanning larger files across smaller storage media, portable devices etc. Popular with Video professionals, often used to split larger movie, sound and archived files (MPEGs, AVI, MP3, ZIP, SIT) although just about any file can be split and later rejoined. Saw options include splitting files by the piece size and or number of pieces.

Requirements: Mac OS X/9.x
