How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ? 10

How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ?

The easiest way is probably to use a USB flash drive (you may have to test whether it is compatible with the Mac OS 9 iMac).
Somewhat more complicated would be to connect the two computers via Ethernet to (the built-in switch of) a broadband router, and then transfer files over the Internet (or a local network).
There are other methods as well (FireWire, CD-R, et cetera), depending upon the exact computer models involved.

How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro? I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

I have a new McBook Pro with OS X Mavericks. I transferred my photos from my old MacBook Pro to my Apple TV. I turned on My Photo Stream on both my Apple TV and my new MacBook Pro, and I want to transfer my photos to my new MacBook. Will this work? It's not transferring them automatically, but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work. Thank you!

no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

How to transfer photos from a camera chip to my Mac Pro Desk Top?

Take the memory card out of the camera and insert it into a card reader then use Finder to copy the iomages over to a folder on the Mac desktop.
Basically the exact same way you would do it on any make or model computer.

I want to copy my iphoto library from my iMac to my new Macbook Pro.

I am having a lot of difficulty copying my existing iphoto library from our imac to our new macbook pro. We have the two computers set up through Time Machine. I tried using dropbox and though I was successful until I tried to click on the thumbnails of some of the pics and only got a black image and a "!". The pics that would open could not be edited. When I look at permissions I show that every category are read and write ( I changed them all to try and resolve this). When I pull up info on the macbook about the library it still shows the imac extension on the library. Don't know if that is a problem or not. Tried to copy the files again and it stopped mid process saying I did not have permission?! Both computers are running Lion. This permission thing is making me crazy. What am I missing? We don't need restricted permission on either computer.. it's our house not a business w/ employees!!

Why don't you copy the library to a flash drive and then copy to the other Mac?

How do I transfer music from my Nano to my new Macbook Pro?

I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Ret and I cant work out how to transfer music from my Nano to the Mac

You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

HT4796 Transfer files from older mac mini to new macbook pro: incompatible ports

I have an older Mac Mini with only USB ports. I just bought a MacBook Pro with thunderbolt and USB 3 ports. I need to transfer my data to my new MacBook Pro using the Migration Assistant but the direct connection ports are not compatible. How can I do this?

Use FireWire, Ethernet, or wireless. The first two can be adapted to a Thunderbolt port.

Should I restart the migration from my iMac to my new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I've been a Mac user for many years now but I'm stuck with my current situation.
I've just received my new MacBook Pro 13" 2.4Ghz and it's the first Mac I've owned for many years without Firewire. In the past transferring everything to a new Mac was simple but with this current migration I'm stuck.
My MBP is connected to my iMac via my wifi network and everything seemed to be going to plan, albeit with a long estimated completion time (88 hours & 33 minutes for I guess approximately 200 or so gig of data). Now I'm over 24 hours into the migration and both computers are saying the same message ("Transferring documents for the user Elliot Pearson") and still with the 88 hour remaining time. The 'candystripe' bar is still moving on both but there's no way of seeing if anything is actually happening.
What I want to know is whether it is worth, or indeed dangerous to, disconnect the transfer and start again potentially leaving incomplete or corrupted files. If the above seems normal and I just have to wait it out then I don't want to have to start again from scratch!
Is it possible to connect the two via ethernet to do the transfer as I only remember being given the option for wifi which will inevitably be slower.
Any advice you can give me will be much appreciated!
Elliot

The MBP has a Firewire port. There's no need to migrate over a network nor would I recommend it.
Use Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Boot the computer from which you are migrating into TDM. Boot the MBP normally after which you should find the hard drive icon for the other computer on the Desktop. Open Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder, select "Another drive" as the source then select the drive of the iMac.
You can abort the transfer which will mainly leave the MBP in an unknown state for what has already been migrated. In this case I would simply locate the /Users/ folder and delete whatever is in there so you can start fresh with the migration.
Of course you can leave everything alone until it's completed. I don't know how many GBs you are migrating, but using wireless is extremely slow - even at 802.11n speed it's 1/4 the speed of a USB drive connected directly.

Migrating from an imac to a new macbook pro

Is there a way to select files to migrate? I tried this am and was only able to move all files and not select the ones i wanted. I am interested in only moving my itunes and selected photos. Is this possible? I am using an imac and want to move selected items to my new macbook pro.

Hi Dennis Rubinson4;
Since you migrating from an iMac G4, with a PPC processor, to a MBP, with an Intel processor it is recommended that you do NOT migrate your applications over but install them on the MBP. Once you have installed the applications then you can use migration assistant to move of the data.

Best practices for moving from my iMac to my new MacBook Pro without carrying along a lot of junk?

Some suggestions are welcome!
I have been using an iMac late 2009 21.5" for the last few years. Recently I received a new MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has better specs (better cpu, more RAM, SSD drive) and is overall faster. I got an external 27" IPS monitor to hook up to the HDMI port and going forward I would like to use the new MBP with external monitor as my main desktop computer and keep my iMac as a backup machine if the MBP ever needs repairs.
Anyway, I have two backups of my iMac: (1) Time Machine, which does its usual incremental backup, but excludes some things, like Parallels VMs and (2) A CCC bootable clone that runs every night at 3:30 am while I'm asleep. And as I'm writing this I'm updating that clone copy.
The thing is, I don't want to move everything over to my new MBP. Over the years I've accumulated a lot of junk, and currently am using about 450 GB of the 512 GB disk space. My new MBP also has 512 GB of space, but I figure why not just bring over what I think is necessary and later on, if I'm missing something, I can get it from the CCC backup or the Time Machine backup. (I will get new backup drives for the MBP). My guess is I don't really need even half of what I've currently got on my iMac HD.
So I don't think I want to use the Time Machine migration assistant. And I don't want to restore the new computer from the CCC clone. But I do want to add in enough applications and documents and settings so I can continue running much like I am running on my iMac. I'd like my installed software (BBEdit, Office, Parallels, CCC, etc.) to be licensed and avoid a new install of each app if possible. I'd like the apps with open documents to remember which docs were open, and when I start them again have things open up like they did on my iMac.
Are there some strategies people can recommend for this? Like for each application, copy over the application, and related preference files from ~/Library? Or are there some applications which just plain have to be re-installed to work right?
If what I'm thinking of doing is too complicated, the alternative would be to do a complete restore to the MBP and then try an extensive hash-and-slash and attempt to delete old, unneeded things.
But I have old preference files going back years and I figure why not start afresh, since everything is so incredibly speedy on my new MBP.
What do people here usually do when they get a new computer that will replace the old one?
Thanks,
Doug

Well, I've been trying this for a while. By my calculations, at this rate, installing all the applications one by one and trying to restore all the data manually will take me about six years. I would finished just in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
The main problem is, I don't know where all the bodies are buried. Just one example, I'm using Cornerstone for an svn client. I have working copies of multiple repositories on my computer. I really don't want to set them all up again, and I can't figure out where the Cornerstone preferences and all settings are stored. I couldn't find them in the Library anywhere.
And that's just one case.
I haven't done much with my MacBook Pro yet, I think in retrospect the easiest course of action is to reinstall OS X as though it were new MacBook Pro, start from scratch, and use my Time Machine backup with the migration assistant and go from there.
And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm in the middle of reinstalling OS X.
Afterwords I'll use a clean app uninstaller application to get rid of all the applications that I'm not using. And I'll just hack away at directories that I know I haven't looked at for years, with the confidence that I have a backup both in Time Machine and in CCC and also on my iMac. That's three backups.
I would rather start out "light", but I can see it's just going to take forever and a day to get it done. Anyway, fortunately nothing is carved in stone, and I can always try again if I want to. But dealing with all the documents and all the applications one by one separately was just obviously going to take too much time.
I'll report back on my results. And I appreciate your suggestion.
Doug
