can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to iMac and what are the consequences

Les:
Here are some options:
• You could copy the data file to your laptop, work on it, and update the file on the iMac when you are back.
• You can use an application like Log Me In to access your home computer from your laptop.
• You can use DropBox. Install it on both computers, place your data file in a folder on the iMac, access it and work on it on your laptop and it will be automatically updated on your computer at home, even if it is not turned on, as soon as it is connected to the internet.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

  • Can Adobe Premiere run on 2013 Mac Book Pro (thunderbolt port) and display on 2010 iMac (Mini DisplayPort) using TDM. TB cable   Opt. F2 didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work?

    I need to work on Adobe Premiere on my 2013 Mac Book Pro (with thunderbolt port) and display it on my 2010 iMac (with Mini DisplayPort) using Target Display Mode (TDM). I tried using a thunderbolt cable plus Option F2, but it didn't work. Will a Mini Display cable work? Any other suggestions?
    iMac specs - 21.5 inch 2010 iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Mac Book Pro specs - 13 in. retina 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 16GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

    2010 iMacs do not have Thunderbolt, they have mini-display ports. You are using the wrong connection, you need a mini display port to mini display port. Please read up on what Apple says in Target Display Mode: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    Hi ..
    The startup disk may need repairing ...
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in  OS X Recovery
    Make sure to back up all important files first before using OS X Recovery.
    Make sure there's enough free storage space ...
    Control click the MacintoshHD icon on your desktop or open the Finder, control click startup disk icon then click Get Info.
    You'll see Available and Capacity. Make sure there's at least 15% available disk space.

  • HT3989 i've migrated from my macbook pro to iMac and now some patches of the exs24 instrument do not work in logic

    hi community,
    I recently bought a new imac and migrated form my macbook pro. I'm running logic and when i opened one of my logic project files i've been working on, some files (mostly exs24 instrument files) would not load up with the project file...a message was displayed with each file that could not be "detected" with an option to "Continue" or "Search again"...if you "search again" nothing happens and if you "continue" the files ends up loaded up with the exs24 instrument on some tracks not reading the patch file? This also happened with some audio files which would not load with a logic project file? I really do not want to reinstall and risk losing anything more...please help

    Hi
    Migration Assistant seems not to work well for some with Logic. Probably the easiest way to sort this would be to re-install the content.
    You could check Library:Application Support:Logic and Library:Application Support:GarageBand for the "missing" files to see if the really are there.
    If they are, it may be a Spotlight issue, which can be fixed by 're-building' the Spotlight Index.

  • After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

  • Why can't i airdrop from mac book pro to iPhone 5s

    why can't i airdrop from mac book pro to iPhone 5s

    You can't currently AirDrop between OS X and iOS. This is partly because OS X supports many file types that iOS wouldn't know what to do with if you AirDropped them onto an iPhone.
    This will change in the next OS X and iOS that Apple recently demonstrated. When those OSs become final and are released to the public, you will be able to AirDrop between OS X and iOS. Apparently iOS will be more flexible about handling file types, as shown by the future ability to create your own sharing folder in iCloud instead of having iCloud being individual to each app.

    my mac book pro got stolen and i just purchased a new one is there any way i can recover my purchased songs and movies from i tunes. I have the same account name, password and everything

    Yes. Update to iTunes 10.3.1
    Then go to the iTunes Store and click Purchased "new" under Music Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes window.
    You can re download your purchased content from the next window.

  • TS3477 How can I view movies, pictures, etc from Mac Book Pro (bought in he States) on a Sony TV(in Europe). Do you have change the settings on the Mac to comply with the european TV ?

    I have a Mac book pro ( 7,1  version ) bought in the US and want to see some videos, pictures and movies on a Sony TV with HDMI connection (in Europe).
    When connecting both the pc and the tv, I get on the tv the opening screen of a mac book pro but although a movie is playing on the pc it does not show on the tv. Do I have to change something in the displays on the system preference screen ?
    Thanks for helping out.

    By 'opening screen' do you mean the spiral galaxy desktop?  If so, then, with the TV connected to the MBP, open System Preferences ➜ Displays ➜ Arrangement.  You will see an image of two screens.  At the top of the smaller of the two screens in the image is a small bar, this represents the menu bar at the top of your display.  Drag this small bar to the top of the larger of the two screens in the image.  The menu bar and dock will now appear on the TV which is now the primary display and all the action will take place there.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim
