How can I transfer information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro?

How can I transfer information information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro? Does anyone have an answer because I spoke to 2 people at Apple & both sent me the wrong cables.....

Did they mention Migration Assistant? You can use MA with FireWire, limit is the speed of the older unit. MA will guide you and allow you to choose what to transfer.

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

I used the following method, which means that your contacts are permanently on your iPhone (the problem with syncing to Gmail in order to 'transfer' contacts is that you need the gmail account to be active all the time in order to see the contacts), take an example of transferring contacts from Sony to iPhone:
1. Transfer all of your contacts to the Sony Experia's internal storage. It will create a vCard file.
2. Connect your Sony Experia to a pc
3. Ensure that you can see the Sony Experia's internal storage files, and identify the location of the vCard file (for me it was in system/PIM)
4. Set up an email account on your iPhone
5. Email the vCard file to the email account on your iPhone
6. Open the vCard file attachment on your iPhone
7. You should now see your contacts and automatically have the option (in the same screen) to 'Add all xxx Contacts' where xxx is the number of contacts in the vCard file
Hope that helps.

How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
Thanks!

You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:

How do I transfer Notes from my iPhone4s and iPad to my new MacBook Pro?

How do I transfer Notes from my iPhone4s and iPad to my new 13" MacBook Pro with retina display?

Finally figured it out...
1) Open mail/compose notes on your macbook...
2) copy and paste every note from Outlook to a new note in Mail.
3) Open iTunes. In Info/Advanced tick Notes. This will replace / copy all Notes from Mail to your iPhone...
4) Voila! Notes are on iPhone...
I must say in spite of all the fabulous advantages of a Macbook and an iPhone, syncing really does suck...
Transferring data from another smartphone to a Mac or an iPhone is tough...
Features like "one way / two way" sync for Phone / computer or allowing us to select which whose, phone or computer, will be considered more important so that you can choose whose data will overwrite the other, are not there in iTunes... This is something which really needs to be there...
Anyways... problem solved for now...
ciao...

How can I download photos from iphoto on my imac to my new macbook?

How do I download photos from iphoto on my imac to my new macbook?

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) or use an external hard drive formed Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

How can I move information from one icloud account to a brand new one?

I've shared an icloud account with my sister for years and I want to get one with just my information. However, I'm not sure how to move or copy all of my information from my old icloud account into a brand new one and not lose any. Making a brand new one for my sister and keeping the old one isn't an option because she doesn't want to lose anything either. Help???

To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to iCloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

How do I Transfer Data from my B/W G3 to my new Macbook Pro by firewire?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro and want to move my photo and music files from my G3 to my new computer as efficiently as possible. I thought firewire was the way to go but just learned that I cant put my G3 in target mode. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks!

Macs running 7.5.3 or later can share files easily with Macs running any version of Mac OS X up to 10.3.9, and with a little more complexity any Mac OS X through 10.4.10.
The learning curve is a bit steeper. But this illustrated article will guide you:
http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/os9xnet_nfilesharing.html
Mac OS X 10.4 was revised to make room for Intel Protocols, and AppleTalk-only File Sharing was removed \[AppleTalk Printer Sharing still works]. To do File Sharing with Macs before Mac OS 9, you must initiate the Sharing from the Older Mac or use a third-party program called Shareway IP:

How can I move photos from an external mac hard drive to new Macbook pro?

Hi I hope someone can help. My girlfriend spilled soda on her 2008 macbook aluminium running Leopard , rendering it useless. She has since bought a new Macbook pro and would like to get her photos from iphoto onto her new comp. I've removed her harddrive from her old damaged computer and put it into an external USB enclosure, her new Macbook picks up the external hardrive but when I try to move the photo folder (drag) onto her new computer, it says something about the version of iphoto not being compatible. Also when i click on the photo folder on the external harddrive there are no photos on it. Any help would be appreciated, and would score me some brownie points with her .

Does she have any photos in the iPhoto library on her new machine?
What version of iPhoto does she have?
The general answer is to trash the iPhoto library on the new computer (assuming it is empty) and drag the old iPhoto library to the pictures folder of the new machine and launch iPhoto letting it convert the library

How can I transfer data from DD & HD 3.5" floppies to my MacBook Pro running Lion?

I hope this is the correct forum group,
and if it’s not, I apologize. I didn't find
one that was really related to my topic.
I was given lots of legacy files (mostly Eudora email messages and other text files from 1995-2000) that I need to access from 3.5" diskettes (in both high density and double density formats) and reuse the data in my current environment:
MacBook Pro (v 4.1) running OS 10.7.
DHCP over TCP/IP home network with several PCs running Win XP, the MacBook Pro and 2 iPhones; and
iCloud is setup.
Also a Mac IIci loaded with OS 7.6.1, which hasn't been booted up in years, but I will try to do that next as I locate a video cable. (Please note that the files in question did not originate from this Mac IIci.)
Before I get too far down any path, can some one please tell me which route is the most feasible and practical to start with?
Resurrect the Mac IIci using it’s floppy disk drive to read the files, then:
Create access to my email and send myself the data;
Add the Mac IIci to the network in order to move the data;
Connect it directly to my MacBook Pro and migrate the files;
OR
2. Using am ext USB floppy drive, copy the files directly onto the MacBook Pro;
OR
3. A better approach you might recommend.
My questions may seem very naive as there might be compatibility issues using the Mac IIci due to the differences in the technologies, I would think. But perhaps it's doable?
If I take the second route, I will need to find a compatible ext floppy drive. I have scoured the Internet seeking one that is compatible for Mac and that can read both the 720 kB DD (normal or double density) as well as the1.14 MB HD (high density) formats. No luck. Most manufacturers do not specify whether or not they support the DD format. The ones that do are for PC. Any suggestions?
Sorry for being such a dunce about this. I would really appreciate some advice and being pointed in the right direction. Thank you for your time and patience.

Hi Kurt,
The Mac IIci is not even powering on at all. Tried again with wih a tested power cable and no luck.
I think it's best that take this issue to the Older Hardware Community. Not only did I see a fair number of replacement parts for the IIci avaiable online, but there also vintage external floppy drives as well. I'm not giving up.
Thank you for your time and interest in helping.

HT5312 How can I transfer money from an old iTunes account to my new one?

I got a new iTunes account because the old one kept asking me for security questions. I don't remember them so I went to the support page and tried to reset them but it wouldn't let me click on boxes to put in my information. All I want is to get the money from my old account to my new. And I don't know what to do. Help?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
Getting the money transferred requires using the form, and that you still have the gift card it came from, and that none of that card's balance has been spent.
