  • What is the best way to transfer apps, contacts, et cetera from one iPhone (3G) and computer (2006 MacBook) to a new iPhone (4S) and computer (early 2011 MacBook Pro)?  I have already moved music, among other things using Migration Assistant.

  • What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from old imac to new imac. both have iphoto 9.2.1

    What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac.  Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
    os on old imac is 10.6.8.   os on new imac is 10.7.2.   I want the albums  and events to stay intact.  I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) 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.

  • What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?

    What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?
    I'm doing role reversal with these two.  The newer imac is becoming our business computer, the older one will be our personal computer from now on until it gives out.  For the record, I have Carbonite on the business unit.  Should be a no-brainer, right?  (Which is precisely why I'm asking!)
    Thanks for whatever timely and accurate advise you may have.

    Thanks. I stumbled across migration assistant later that afternoon in a google search. Just finished using it today to do the deed. Appreciate your quick response!

  • What is the best way to transfer data from a PC to an iMac?

    What is the best way to transfer data from a PC to an iMac?

    If you know how to set up a computer-to-computer Ethernet network, then you can give that a try, but a hard drive will be faster than Ethernet unless you don't have a lot to transfer.

  • What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

    what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
    thanks

    Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one. 
    It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
    Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible.  You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two. 
    See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

  • I have a large kodak easyshare library, what is the best way to transfer them into iPhoto ?

    I have about 5k pictures in the kodak easyshare software system on a dell laptop - what is the best way to transfer or import them into iPhoto on my iMac ? any help will be greatly appreciated...

    Simply, export the data from this esy share system to standard formats like jpeg, making sure to preserve all metadata on the way. How to do that? YOu'll need to post on a Kodak forum I'm afraid.
    Then copy the files to the Mac and import them.
    Regards

  • Since I believe you can't create a Photo album (book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto without loosing any picture quality?

    Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?

    Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?
    Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
    See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
    But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
    And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in  Aperture".
    See: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture

  • I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?

    I have Acrobat 9 on a PC I no longer use. I want to download and re-install on a different PC. What is the best way to do this?

    Hi Chaos2015,
    Could you please specify whether you have Acrobat 9 Pro or Standard version.
    You need to deactivate Acrobat from the old machine and then install on the new one from a CD/DVD and then activate with the same serial key.
    If you do not have installation media, then you can download the Pro version from the below mentioned link:
    Download Acrobat products | 9, 8
    Please note that you can activate the software on maximum two computers. For example: Your desktop at work and laptop at home
    Regards,

  • What is the best way to transfer only Photos and Music from imac to imac?

    hello i have an old 24" imac that is loaded down with iphoto pictures and itunes music. i recently got the new 27" imac and wish to only transfer the photos and music files to the new computer. i have a cloned hard drive of my old imac as well as a time capsule copy of it.
    i don't want to just restore my entire old hard drive onto my new imac because there is a lot of junk on there i don't want on there. so, what is the easiest way to move just these two types of files? i don't know how to find these files and move them?
    i know how to attach both imacs via firewire, i just don't know what is the best way to make the transfer of both these file types?
    thank you!

    copy the folders /users/username/music/itunes and /users/username/pictures/iphoto library to the corresponding locations on the new install.
    note: itunes and iphoto should not be running when you do this.

  • What's the best way to transfer files from dead MDD G4 PowerMac to new iMac desktop?

    My Mirrored Drive Door 1 ghz G4 Power Mac recently stopped powering on. I have just purchased a new iMac with 2.5 ghz intel core i5. What is the best way for me to transfer the files to the new machine?
    Someone on another thread recommended buying a converter cable like this one: http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adaptv2.php
    Will I need to use transfer software too? I'd like to bring my playlists along to the new machine but don't need any of the software.
    Thanks!

    That will work. You could also remove the hard drive from the MDD and put it in an external enclosure so you would have it for backup.
    You can use the utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, to transfer files - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
