    Backup Assistant will download your last saved to network contact/phone numbers. Look on phone menus my Casio has it listed under contacts but mfg's differ on where to actuate. Call *611 and get V rep.

    i have an ether net cable will this help?

    I've used Migration Assistant in the past and it's working like a champ. You either want to connect your MBPs using a Firewire cable or have them connected to the same router with Ethernet cabling. Don't attempt a wifi transfer - it could take a whole day.
    Both links provided are good - they both point to various ways to transfer data. I just prefer MA.

    Everything you need to know, right here. Make sure you read through it BEFORE you turn on the new Mac for the first time. This is because the preferred means is using Setup Assistant, which is only available form the first boot.

  • How do I transfer data from my old Mac to  my new Mac?

    The display on my Macbook Pro is broken, so I got a new Macbook Air. How do I go about transferring all my data (Word documents and iTunes mainly) from my old laptop to my new one?

    You could try using target disk mode from your macbook pro to your macbook air. It basically alows you to see your macbook pro as a harddrive.

    Not sure if your pro has thunderbolt, otherwise you may need a thunderbolt to firewire adapter.

  • How do I transfer data from a hard drive to my new Imac

    Hello,
    First off, I don't know much about computers, so please forgive me if I sound stupid... Anyways, I had a PowerMac G5 that took a dump. The hard drive is still good and so is the info on it. I want to transfer the pictures, itunes library, and word docs to my new Imac. I thought I had this info backed up to EXTERNAL HD, but I think I did it wrong and the info is not there. Is there a way to transfer the info from my old G5 HD to my new Imac. Genius Bar guy already removed my HD from my G5. My G5 will not start up past the grey apple screen. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    What Larry means is buy something similar to OWC Neptune 3.5" Oxford 934 FireWire 400 (1394A) Enclosure Kit for SATA Hard Drives up to 1TB. All Cables Included http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/NP35SFW/ and then connect your old hard drive to your new iMac with FireWire 400. Mount the disk and transfer the data.
    A good solution for only $48 USD.

  • How do i transfer data from a old itunes to a new one

    My brother and I are tired of my little sister using our apple account. When we gave her my old iPod touch i told her to tell me if she was going to purchase something but she hasn't listened to me. My brother just got a iPhone and picked up a $15 iTunes card so we had 15.03 as of last night, as of now we have 11.83 and my brother and I haven't touched iTunes or the app store. I was going to change the password but apple added a thing so you have to have alteast 1 capital letter and one # and our current password has none of those. she has her own computer in her room so we are just going to do that. is there a way that I can just plug her iPod in the computer and it will download everything on her iPod(music, apps, etc.) and it can be by apple or other software. Any help would be appreciated. She has a iPod touch 3g 8gb upgraded max to 4.2.1 if that is needed

    does anyone have any help for my brother an i

  • How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

    If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

    How can I transfer CS5 from my old PC to my new PC?

    You can download the trial version of the software from the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site.

    If you do not intend to use the older machine any longer, you should consider deactivating it and uninstalling it from that machine.  If you think you might need the option to use it, you are allowed to maintain two licensed installations.

  • How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?

    How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?
    My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

    If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.
