Hello simonglastonbury,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble moving data from your Windows PC to your Mac. We’re happy to help.


To start, make sure you’ve followed the steps in the article below:


Move your data from a Windows PC to your Mac


You’ll want to focus on the section labeled “If you have issues moving your data” should the transfer still not go through.


If you’re still unable to migrate your data, you can use an external drive or file sharing:


Connect to a Mac from a Windows computer


Take care.
