You can transfer your documents and many files like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc, BUT - you will have to install programs.

Yes, you should be able to transfer whatever data you have from any OS to any OS. This device has proven to be very reliable and I have used it on multiple OSs and many different types of hardware. I actually ordered two of these so I could keep one on my bench and one in my bag for onsite work. Very happy with the product.

Never tried that... But I don't see why not. It's probably easier for you to just copy it to a USB drive, no?

No, it is simply a file transfer cable. You can move installation programs like any other file. Already installed program cannot be transferred from one operating system to another.You can transfer installed programs from one hard drive to another by cloning it.

I'm not sure. However, The Windows Easy Transfer program gives you the option to transfer files to an external drive without the use of the Belkin Easy Transfer cable. However, it doesn't support the transfer of applications or programs. They would have to be reinstalled separately.

I haven't tried it but I see no reason why you can't. It should be no different than copying from any other device.

I downloaded "Total Commander" and "Usb Stick" apps. Now I'm able to transfer files between my Xoom and my jump drive, dslr camera, and laptop Hope this helps.

You can simply copy the folder to a flash drive. Load up the flash drive on the eee and install the apps.

If you can I haven't figured out how to do it. I've only managed to move my apps over and lose a bunch of pictures attempting to move them over. Still worth it, apps take up most of the space so they sit on the SD card by themselves.

I believe so. I am assuming that you will be running the same programs or apps but in a different format (ie, iOS). Good luck.

Yes! You can select certain folders or files to transfer. In addition to compatibility with Microsoft's built-in Windows Easy Transfer software (recommended for first-time users), this cable also includes a full license to Bravura's Easy Computer Sync application (free: a $19.95 value), which adds drag and drop and other additional features for advanced users. Choose either one, making the same choice on both computers in order to successfully connect. You can download the Bravura package at www.bravurasoftware.com/easy-computer-sync. This download also includes and installs the latest versions of Microsoft's drivers (required on XP and Vista). Your Bravura Easy Computer Sync product key is provided upon purchase; enter this key when requested by Bravura's software. The product key is uniquely matched to your Amazon order number, and is licensed for use with your cable on multiple machines. How it works: You open the program and go through the steps just as you would in the sync (or automatic) transfer process, but it gives you the option to select drag and drop instead of sync. On the computer you decide to do the transfer on, it opens up a windows-like window with both computers on one split page, wherein you select folders and then drag-n-drop like normal. You can also search online videos for "Easy Computer Sync" to watch the process.

It works like a basic USB thumb drive, just drag and drop files. You could easily just 'add folder' and name it "So-and-so's playlist" and add all of the songs you want on there. No software needed

I think it'll transfer programs as well. I used it on a friend's Ti-89 Platinum to transfer all my apps to her calculator and it worked fine. You can select what you want to transfer.

Just use Windows "drag and drop" feature as if you were moving files between any other folders. No special software such as iTunes needed to place mp3 files on the device.

Yes - I bought this as a XMas gift to myself. I have Windows 7 and wanted to move all my pictures and songs to this new drive. Simply plug it in and windows will automatically recognize and you are good to start dragging your files over. So simple - no special software - hope this helps.
