Can I load a backup to a new computer?

I have two macbooks running 10.7.3. One is slightly older than the other. I'd like to take everything off of the older one an put it onto the new one, then sell the old one. Can i use the time machine backup to clone the old one to the new one? How?
Thanks

Yes, with Migration Assistant (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889)
If you want an exact clone of the old HD, you can also use CCC

  • Can't load my PS to a new computer from my backup disk.....?

    My MacBook died. I had the entire adobe suite on it. I have it backed up tho on an external drive. I am trying to put it on the used Macbook I purchased but it won't load from the external drive to the used Macbook I purchased. Is there a file or files on the old puter, that won't start, that I need to load to the 'new' Macbook as well as the files on the external drive? Thanks for you answers guys!

    You can redownload it from there. There are VERY SPECIFIC instructions to get the download to work, and then you'll need your original product key to reinstall.

  • I have an older Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer these songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available

    I have an oder Ipod shuffle with many songs loaded on it. How can I transfer ths songs to a new computer since the old computer is no longer available?

    I had the same problem with my iPad, i couldn't get the newer version of itunes because the computer was too old and my iPad couldnt sync with the old itunes. I got a PC from school a few months later so that solved the problem for me. Unfortunately i don't think there would be a program to put your music on your iPod, iTunes should be the only way to transfer files to Apple devices. What operating system are you running and what version of it is it?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
    Use your backup copy to move everything to the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone:  File>Transfer Purchases
    If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How can I restore my itunes on a new computer from an external hard drive without a back up?

    How can I restore my itunes on a new computer?
    I use an external hard drive to store all my information i.e. music / apps / movies but my current laptop has just blown up so now using a temp laptop.
    I am looking to try & restore my itunes & all of its information like my playlists / apps & everything else from the hard drive but it does not have a back up in the programmes to restore from that.
    Currently running Windows 7.
    All I want to do is have my itunes back without the pain of looking & reloading all my info which will take me an age.
    Any hints tips or advice that has worked for you would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you store the media library files on the external drive as well?
    If so press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, use the choose option, and connect to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
    If not you will need to start a new library and import the content into it. Do you have any devices that might hold ratings and playlists that could be recovered? If so see the second and third entries from the bottom of the table of recovery tools in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, and read the rest of it if you have any iOS devices.

  • I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.

    I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.
    Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

    You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines.  If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.
