Can you copy an alias folder from one computer to another?

I copied files from my iMac to my iBook – However, the "alias" folders didn't copy – did I need to copy the "original" folder(s)?

Thank you! It's so obvious now that I've given it some thought (hindsight is 20/20, right?) Wish the Apple tech at the store had thought of it before I was sent on my merry way and was under the impression I had what I needed.
Def appreciate the quick answer from you tho'

Can you copy Modern-app settings from one computer to another?

Has anyone tried copying settings of Modern apps from one computer to another?
Example: let's say that I wanted to copy the settings from the Photos app on one computer to a thousand other computers. Would this work? Are settings for Modern apps in a format that can be easily copied?

Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
All in all very unsatisfactory.
Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
Suggestions welcome.

Can I copy and past iPhoto from one computer to another?

I just bought a used Mac Mini to give to my in-laws. I used the original boot disks to reinstall the software. I then upgraded to Leopard. When all was said and done, everything was wonderful except that iPhoto was nowhere to be found. Going back to the original install disks in Tiger I tried to install via the 'bundled software' but got a 'failed install' because disk 2 apparently is faulty.
Can I copy my iPhoto application from my iMac Intel Core 2 to the MacMini? I have tried several other strategies involving install disks, etc. It's iPhoto 6.06. I'm stymied.

Thanks, Terence. I thought probably that was the case. I guess my only choice is to go back to the beginning with the Tiger install and see if it comes out right.

Can i copy an email folder from one Mac to another?

I have some emails (in an email inbox folder) that i need to copy from my iMac to my Macbook Air. I don't need ALL the emails from inbox etc.. just that certain Mailbox with about 15 emails in it.
Is there some way i can copy them to a USB thumb drive ? I tried dragging the emails to the thumb drive but it didnt work.
Or any other way to copy them maybe, like wirelessly or something.
If it helps, the iMac is running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard and the Macbook Air is running 10.5.8 Leopard.
Thanks in advance
Chris

From Mail's Help File:
You can archive (create a backup copy) of a mailbox so you can retrieve messages if needed.
To archive a mailbox:
Select one or more mailboxes to archive.To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each mailbox.
Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives, and then click Choose.Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you’ve already archived a mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to the filename to create a new version of it.
If you need to recover messages, you can import an archived .mbox file as “Mail for Mac OS X.”
ALSO
Mail can import messages from other email applications, or messages that you’ve archived using Mail.
To import messages:
Choose File > Import Mailboxes.
Select the mail application you want to import messages from.If you’re importing a mailbox archived from Mail, choose Apple Mail.
Follow the instructions that appear onscreen.
Make sure the application you’re importing from is open and running, because some of the options require this.
If you’re importing messages from a Windows or UNIX computer, select “Files in mbox format” and locate the folder containing the files.
If the email application you’re switching from isn’t listed, click Cancel. Consult the documentation for the other application to learn how to export your messages in mbox format (most email applications can). You can then import the mbox format files.
Your imported mail is stored in a new mailbox called “Import.”

Can you transfer all your content from one computer to another?

We have a slower computer and a faster one and all our music and apps are on the slower one. Is there any way to transfer all our stuff from one to the other?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Can you move Bridge's keywords from one computer to another?

I posted this question once before without getting an answer, but let me take another stab at it...
I realized I made not have made it clear that its not the keywords assigned to images that I am trying to move or copy, those are written to the metadata and travel with the images. Very cool.
My problem is 2 copies of Bridge, one on a laptop in the field and one at the desktop. If you et up an organized list of keyword sets and their keywords on one computer how do you get that system to the other computer? This is a large Achilles' heel for Bridge and I am trying to find a way to fix it.
Link to other post..
Where are Bridge's keywords stored?

Beverly,
As a cautionary note, I absolutely and utterly detest and despise iPhoto.
Having gotten that out of the way, in Bridge you don't have to deal with libraries or albums, and you don't need to
"import" anything. If the Finder can see it, so can Bridge--in the same place.
You can use either the Finder
or
Bridge to move and organize your files any way you want, and the files will be visible to both applications.
iPhoto hides your imported photos in packages the Finder and other applications can't access. Neither can iPhoto see or find photos you haven't "imported" into its libraries.
Bridge can see, browse and hand to other applications all kinds of files, not just photos, like PDFs, Illustrator file, MS Word files, text clippings, picture clippings, whatever.
Read the manual, the help files, the video tutorials accessible through Bridge home on your machine, etc. You can also google
Adobe Bridge Tutorials.

Can you copy a build action from one image to another?

Hello - is it possible to set up a build action for a shape/image and then copy these attributes to another shape/image? I tried to use copy/paste styles however this did not work.
I need to replicate the same path/build sequence many times over many different objects and I do not want to have to recreate many times.
Thanks in advance.

There is no way I know of to replace an object with another object. If you have images, you could create a single object, copy it, and use the "Image Fill" of the object to place the images "inside" it -- if the object is not stroked, it will look like the image, and not the original object, and if it has transparency, like a PDF, those transparent areas will remain transparent. (Note that you can also create PDF images of Keynote objects themselves using the Preview Passthru technique.)

CAN YOU COPY KEYWORD TAGGING HIERARCHY FROM ONE CATALOG TO ANOTHER?

I use PSE 9 and I HAVE SO MANY PICTURES THAT THE ORGANIZER RUNS SLOW. I want to split into 2 or 3 catalogs and use the same keyword tagging hierarchy in each catalog. I know how to write the tags to the picture files but when I do that and then load the split of pictures into a new catalog, all the tags are alpha without the the sub-catagory hierarchy that I'd set up in the original catalog. Can I get the same tagging in each catalog and/or start a new catalog that has the same keyword tag hierarchy?

In your old catalog:
Show the Keyword Tags panel.
Click the green plus sign.
Choose "Save Keyword Tags to File".
In your new catalog, before importing any photos, repeat steps 1 & 2, then choose "From File". That will import your keyword tags with the hierarchy intact.

Before your restoring your iPhone with your PC at work, you can create a backup of your iPhone on the PC before restoring.
With your iPhone connected and available in the iTunes source list, control click on your iPhone and select Back Up.

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another?

Can you cancel Adobe Photoshop CS6 from one computer and put it on another computer?

Yes. You have to deactivate it on one computer and then you can install it and activate it on another. Technically, your license allows you to have Photoshop CS6 installed and activated on two computers, you just can't use both at the same time.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same account.

No. Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back. There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition. My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume). Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac. Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform. Now you have two computers on Windows platform. Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine. Hope this helps. Backup all your data before such operation. Good luck.

Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another? The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.
