How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?

what method are you using? Firewire, ethernet, wireless?  I'm assuming you are doing this via Migration Assistant.  You can't speed it up if it is in process, but you can use a faster method if available to you.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413

    I just set up my migration from my old iMac to the new one via wifi and it says it'll take 42 hours! What's up with this?

    Don't migrate wirelessly unless you have a very fast wireless connection. Anything other than 5 GHz 802.11n is likely to take an unacceptable amount of time.

  • How do I transfer all my stuff from my old mac to my new one?

    got a new macbook pro today, how do i transfer all the information from my old macbook to this new one? I don't really know what time machine is other than it makes backups, so will time machine help me accomplish what im trying to do? if not, what else can i do that is inexpensive.
    thanks!

    Simplest is to startup the new machine and when the setup assistant asks if you want to transfer stuff from another computer, say yes, hook up the old one, and follow the instructions. Any other procedure, and there are many, are more time-consuming and don't do the job any better than that. BTW, that should be described in the little manual that came with the machine.

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my old mac to my new one?

    How do I get my iTunes and for that matter iPhoto libraries from my old mac 15" Tetherball iMac running OS 10.4.11 iTunes ver. 9.0.2 to my new iMac running 10.6.2 but also using iTunes ver. 9.0.2? I used the migration assistant, and a firewire cable, to move my "Music" folder to the new mac, but it insisted that I create a new user on the new mac for the data, rather than giving me a choice to move it into my user account. Also, based on some info from The Missing Manual and the Take Control books I created a separate user that is not an Administrator on the computer to be my primary login. When I simply tried to copy the music folder - iTunes failed to open. And because I am not an admin I can't access the new folder to copy it while I am in my non-admin user on the new computer. I have looked through as many of the posts as I could wade through and didn't see anything quite as simple as I think my problem is. Thanks, in advance.

    Did you use Migration Assistant to move all you contents or did you create a new account on the new Mac before transferring?
    I had a similar problem when I got my MBP as I created an account on the new Mac at the store to confirm that the MBP was ok. Mistake. I got how home and had loads of issues so I ended up reinstalling the system on the new MBP and using Migration Assistant to move ALL my stuff from the old to the new.
    Another choice is to clone your old Mac to an ext HD then swap that cloned HD with the HD in your new Mac.
    Regardless of which way you go make sure you de-authorize your old Mac before getting rid of it.

    how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • How do I get my scrivener files from my old apple to the new one?

    I just bought a new macbook pro and am trying to transfer files from my scrivner, which is an app for my current book, from my old mac to new.  How do I do this?
    Thanks

    Simply copy any Scrivener files to the new computer, however you want to do it.  Copy via flash drive, use Ogelthorpe's link, burn a CD or DVD, etc.  On the new computer, download and install Scrivener from their web site, then you can open the files.
    If you aren't sure where you put your current Scrivener file, open Scrivener and hold down the command key while clicking the name of the file in the window's title bar.  That shows you where it is.

  • How do I import Address Book data from an old Mac to a new one?

    I just bought a MacBook using OS 10.5.1. How can I transfer the address card data from my old eMac using system 10.3.9? The two machines are currently connected with a Firewire cable, and my laptop is reading the eMac's hard drive.

    It's actually very simple. In your old AB under the file menu click "Export Address Book Archive to your desktop. Then using the new system log in to the old via network and move the file from the old to the new.
    Then open the new AB and click import AB archive"
    You're done

  • How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one

    I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?

    Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.

    This is a question for my brother, and he has an iMac PPC (he calls it the "ball") from 2003, which has a FireWire port.  He wants to get a new iMac, which I see has the Thunderbolt port.
    The new iMacs also have a FireWire 800 port, so a FireWire cable will work.  The "ball" sounds like a G4 iMac, which has a FireWire 400 port, so either a cable with different plugs or an adapter would be needed.
    He has found your very detailed instructions about using Migration Asst
    For best results, use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up, not Migration Assistant later on.
    to set up the new Mac with everything he currently has on his old Mac.
    Since the old Mac is a PPC Mac, he/you probably should not transfer applications --  most 3rd-party apps that work on the old Mac won't work on the new one.
    I see the Apple store has a Thunderbolt-Fire Wire cable -- will this do the trick?
    It looks like it would, but it's F/W 800, so you'll still need a F/W 400-to-F/W 800 cable and an adapter.
    Or, use an Ethernet cable and transfer via network.

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,
    Sara
