I can't transfer Macbook applications and files to new macbook pro - Please help!

I have treated myself to a Macbook pro. I have had a macbook from 2008 it has Lion on it. I can't transfer all my information and applications from the old one to the new one...I have logic Pro 9 and Final Cut express, which I bought from apple but haven't got the disks anymore after a fire. What can I do? Tried the ethernet connection and the firewire thing...it's not seeing the old machine. Please help!

I tried to use the migration assistant and had the old Macbook in Target mode but there was no reaction at all. It didn't recognise that there was anything attached. Tried time machine but it won't recognise that there is old backups at all - just starts it as a new time machine.

    i cant connect my new wimax usb stick bm328 on my macbook pro. please help me

    The Hardware Test detected a RAM problem.  Take out the chips and make certain that the connections are clean and reinstall them.  Make certain that they are well seated. 
    If the problem occurs again, test with one chip at a time.  Also swap bays if necessary.
    Please indicate if you have installed new RAM and if so what brand and the specifications.
    Ciao.

  • How do I transfer my applications and files to a new computer

    I'm about to buy a new Mac Pro and would like to move my applications and data over. The new computer will come with Tiger installed of course. I'd like segment the drive so I can put windows in one part, and then get everything from the old computer over.
    Can I just move stuff from the old computer to the new one or do I need to install all my software again?
    Thanks,
    Reid Rosefelt

    I suggest you look at the answers provided in this entry:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100954&tstart=0
    If the old and new computers are both Intel Macs and running the same version of the OS (say, 10.4), then the Migration Assistant will probably do this transfer for you quite well (although I have and would do it manually myself). However if your old Mac is a PowerPC computer, even if it is running Tiger, then the above thread is especially relevant to you.

  • My wife has never backed up herphone. I bought her a mini 3.  I can't back it up because there isnt enough storage.   Can I transfer her pics and vid to new mini3 w 64g

    tied to cloud backup and it was never done.  She has a lot of memory tied up w pics and vids.  Can I transer them from her 5c to new mini3 somehow

    I'm wondering why don't you try to import all her videos and photos to computer for backup: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support. And you can't directly copy content from iPhone to iPad until you use a third-party tool. If you resist on copy videos and pictures from iPhone to iPad, I think you need to copy videos and pictures from iPhone to computer first, and then sync the to the iPad mini.

  • Unsuccessful data transfer onto my new macbook pro- please help

    I have just upgraded to a new 2.16GHz core 2 duo macbook pro and tried last night to transfer my data via firewire using the apple start up set up from my previous 1.83GHz core duo macbook pro bought in March 2006. Unfortunately there were errors in transferring my user folder. I subsequently used migration assistant with the old macbook pro in target disc mode and the same error occurred. I have now manually transferred my user folders by dragging them from the target disc old macbook pro drive into my new user folders in the HD of the new macbook pro. Please can anyone advise me whether this is all I need to do to have my user files on the new macbook pro ie are there any other files I should move over from the old to new computer? The applications transferred in the initial set up and several folders in my HD and it seems only the user folders didn't.
    Can someone explain why this happened also please? I have checked the new HD with disc utility and it has no errors.
    I have transferred files from several powerbooks in the past using the initial set up or migration assistant and haven't had problems like this before? I wonder whether the new computer is faulty? Please can anyone advise? Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can only sync the iPhone with one Mac or PC, so your Mac is asking you to erase the device because you synced it with another Mac or PC. To avoid this, I recommend you to copy the "iTunes" folder of your old Mac or PC (in Music folder) to the Music folder of your Mac, so you'll have the same data on your Mac as the data you had on the PC.
    To transfer contacts, notes, etc., I recommend iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

    I have the latest BB desktop software installed, along with Roxio Media Manager, and I still can't seem to get pictures off my 8120 Pearl onto my PC.  It sees all the music I have on my 4 GB sd card, but doesn't see any pictures.  Am I missing something here?  Please help!  Thanks in advance...

    1. Yes. Where are you pictures stored,. on your Media Card or in your Device Memory?
    Unplug from the USB and look on your device to Media > Menu > Explore. See where they are.
