Data transfer to new mac from timemachine...

My old macbook (2009 June) model broke. So i am buying a macbook pro. I have all my data in time machine, how can i transfer them to new mac?
Is it also possible to migrate applications like microsoft office which I bought for the other mac to new one? or should I buy a new license?
Can I also migrate settings in Mail program...
Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your response. The new Mac will have all of the system stuff and some of the included software like iLife that I won't want to transfer. What I do want to transfer will be 3rd party software like PhotoShop and other Adobe CS3 items and Quicken, things like that.
My suspicion is that if there were anything in the way of corrupted files that are contributing to this iMac's slow deterioration they would probably be somewhere in the system files and I won't need those on the new iMac.
On one occasion I had to reinstall the system on this iMac and I used Time Machine and the thing I really liked was that my preferences and most settings came over intact, and I want to do that with this transfer. I think I remember having a lot of options as to what to restore and if I'm right the transfer to the new iMac should go well and my fears will have been otiose.

We can see thumbnails of horizontal photos but can't see full size photos after data transfer to new mac

hello,
We just updated to a new mac from a 7 year old Mac because the logic board died. =The Apple reseller did a data transfer and now we cannot see full size photos on our new screen. We see the thumb nails but when we try to open a photo in the photo section of the library we get a black screen with an exclaimation mark. How do we fix this?
thanks!

When you first boot your new Mac, it will boot into Setup Assistant. It will walk you through registration and then ask you if you want to migrate. Choose the disk you want to migrate from and choose all settings. No newer apps will be overwritten with older ones. No third party software will be lost. Although you should check compatiblity of apps with ML.

I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?

I just got a new macbook. Is there any way I can transfer pictures or music to this new mac from my old one?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are different ways to transfer your data from another Mac, but as you just want to transfer pictures and music, the best way is to use an external drive. You can also connect them with a Thunderbolt or FireWire cable, but you need specific Macs to do it, so I prefer the external drive method.
You just have to get an external drive and plug it to the old Mac. Then, open Finder, navigate to the folders with your pictures and music, and drag them to the external drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices".
Then, connect the external drive to the new Mac and you will see the external drive in the Finder sidebar after opening a Finder window, so choose it. Then, just copy the pictures and music to the folder you want, for example, Music or Pictures

I am trying to follow the instrucitons for moving my iTunes account to a new Mac from a PC. I wish to use the External Hardrive Method, (also I have too much info to fit into the free iCloud space) ... and I am wondering how to handle several iTunes accounts for my son and daughter. We all share the itunes media folder, but I use the control-click option to open either mine, my sons, or my dauthers account.
I.e. On the old windows PC I have itunes, Richard's itunes, Justin's itunes, and Rachael's iTunes folders. The instructions speak of the simple itunes folder ... so, do I copy all of these folders to the external hard drive and will things operate as before?

Yes, you copy each one's iTunes folder to the /Home/Music/ folder in each of their separate user accounts. You will first need to create a separate user account for each of them using the Users & Groups preferences.

Creating a clone of MBP for future transfer to new Mac

Hi
Using CCC and a 1TB external drive, I have just created a full version clone of my current 13" MBP 1TB (it boots okay, apps work fine, Parallels works fine, so all looks good). My purpose is that I want to give the MBP to a good friend and buy a new MBP at Christmas.
That being the case, will I be able to use Setup Assistant to transfer all my apps, files and settings to the new Mac from the clone on my HD? Is a bootable clone the best way to go to get my old apps and settings on the new system?
I'm not overly worried about files since I use Dropbox for data but I don't really want to have to reinstall all the applications and re-create my environment if I can help it.
Or would it be better to create a Time Machine backup to the external HD? Can you use Time Machine in conjunction with Setup Assistant for this kind of thing?
Thanks a lot
Andrew

The logical way to import all your files, apps and settings is to use Setup Assitant (not Migration Assistant) on the first boot of the new system. I don't recall whether a cloned image works with Setup Assistant , but a Time Machine backup will certainly work without a doubt. Within Setup Assistent, you chose and old Mac, its TM Backup, or a PC, and connect to it. I wonder if connecting to a clone image will be seen as another Mac. I have my doubts. But if someone here has actually done it, then there you go.

How do I migrate data to a new Mac?

A) what is the correct sequence to migrate all my data to a new Mac?
B) does the migration create an exact duplicate of what is in my "home" folder? Including paths to external hard drives that have movies, photos, etc on them? Such as an external iTunes library?
C) what cables do I need for the data transfer? USB? Ethernet?
Thanks

There are many methods to transfer to a new Mac. OS X can migrate just about anything into the new or current operating system. (A)
* If you have an External Hard Drive (Time Machine setup) and backed up everything, OS X can restore the current files onto the new Mac. All it requires is your current credentials stored on the system. (B)
* If you are migrating without an External Hard Drive and you are using a USB Cable, it will detect your computer and perform the transfer automatically after plugged in and following the tutorials (C)
(If you are using Windows and copying the files, you can use a USB transfer cable or copy/paste to the EHD. It's not recommended to use Windows Backup as it will be encrypted)
If you have purchased iPhoto or Aperture, you can tell it to scan your computer and EHD for the photos and videos already stored and it will copy them onto their own location folder after following simple settings.
On a restore, iTunes will import your library of music, videos, and applications and have it ready to sync with your device.
You can also perform a restore of your music, videos and applications (but not photos sadly) via iPhone or iPod or iPad after following two steps:
* Store / Authorize Account (with device plugged in)
* Right click iPhone / Transfer purchases from iPhone
* Device will quote then sync automatically

Acrobat XI Pro Serial Number Invalid after transfer to new Mac

I recently got the new MacBook Pro OS X 10.9 and when I started up my computer I transferred all of my information over to my new Mac from my old MacBook (2008 version).
I was happy that my Acrobat XI Pro transfered over, but it only transfered as a "trial" software and all previous records of purchasing my sofware in my account at Adobe are now gone. I thought I would be fine because the trial software frequently reminds me that it is a trial, and prompts me for my serial number. I have my serial number from my previous Acrobat saved and entered that number. When I do, this message pops up,
"This serial number is not valid for Acrobat XI Pro. You can either use a valid serial number for Acrobat XI Pro or use this serial number on the appropriate product."
What???
Please help, my trial ends soon and I've run out of options. I can't lose this expensive software!

Hi NLC alamo,
Adobe does not recommend using any migration software to transfer the software.
Please remove Acrobat and reinstall it and use the serial number to activate it.

Transferring iTunes to new Mac from Windows

Hello, My wife and I both have iPhone 4s, and just purchased a MacBook Air, and recently updated to Lion OS. Previously, our iTunes / iPhones was on a Windows XP OS.
We are having trouble properly running the phones iTunes accounts on the new MacBook Air. I have also tried setting up “Home-sharing” for my home MacBook Air and work Windows XP OS, but seems not to work correctly, so would like to cancel “Home-sharing” on the MacBook Air and Windows and just use the Mac for updating iTunes (podcast).
We had the same iTunes account for both devices on our home Windows OS, but would like to make separate accounts on the new MacBook Air machine.
It would be highly grateful to receive advice on how to reinstall iTunes and setting up our phones on 2 different accounts on the MacBook Air.
Thank you in advance for the kind assistance.

I have the same exact question. Why doesn't apple have better documentation????
Question: how do I move my entire library PLUS ALL THE ASSOCIATED PLAYLISTS/RATING HISTORY/SKIP HISTORY/PLAYCOUNT HISTORY/etc, WITHOUT CREATING DUPLICATES, to my new mac from my Vista machine?
My situation: Vista machine; meta data saved on my Vista machine hard drive*, but the music files are on an external hard drive.
Solution: ???. (I'm guessing it's as simple as saving the library meta file to a cd, then put the cd in the mac, and double click the file, and then all that library info would be added to iTunes on the mac .... but then how do you then add the music to the mac so that the library finds each song that it's supposed to find, without creating duplicates, while keeping all your rating history, skip history, playcount, playlists, etc???)
Thanks so much!!!

E recruiting Data Transfer for New Employee

Hi all,
          We are implementing E-recruitment 3.0, Ecc 6.0 and E recruitment system are in the same system, we processing internal recruitment currently, here i can receive the internal applications, we can able to view and process the applications in recruiter role. Here i can execute the sequence of activities for application process group for received applications, we not integrated any XI systems for e recruitment process.
         After processing the activity to be hired, the next activity is Data transfer for new employee, this is also executed successfully for data transfer of employee positions, job, org unit details etc.
       1. whether transferred data of applicant is processed via transaction PA48(Hiring of transferred employees)for internal recruitment in R/3 HR system, after the data transfer activity in E recruitment portal screen ?
       2. is any other roles and application url available for Hiring internal candidate which could be done in portal E recruitment screen itself with out coming to R/3 HR transactions side ? with out going into PA48 for hiring.
      3. any specific roles we have assign for recruiter ?
      4. any process carried out in Managerial self service?(according to me MSS is different instance to process recruitment process for internal and external recruitment for Vacancy filling) please correct me my vision on MSS.
        your answers and suggestions will be highly appreciated!
Thanks from,
Venkatesh Mani.

1. whether transferred data of applicant is processed via transaction PA48(Hiring of transferred employees)for internal recruitment in R/3 HR system, after the data transfer activity in E recruitment portal screen ?
If you are selecting the internal candidate , you need not hire the employee again using PA48. You can trigger transfer / change in position workflow using PCR form.
2. is any other roles and application url available for Hiring internal candidate which could be done in portal E recruitment screen itself with out coming to R/3 HR transactions side ? with out going into PA48 for hiring.
I dont think we have any specific action from eRecruitment side to run the hiring action.This needs to be done from R/3 only.
3. any specific roles we have assign for recruiter ? Not sure about this.
4. any process carried out in Managerial self service?(according to me MSS is different instance to process recruitment process for internal and external recruitment for Vacancy filling) please correct me my vision on MSS.
If its intergrated portal with the Requestor role attached in the manager profile , they will be able to carry out both internal and external candidates selection. I dont think you would require different instance.
We can also wait for someother inputs from forum gurus.
Thanks.

Back up data to a new Mac.

When you buy a new MAC, you can back up your data, to the new MAC.
You can do this process at very beginning when you first set up your new MAC or you can do later, at any time, by using Migration Assistant.
What are the difference by using the two procedures? What are the good and not good things?
Thank you

When you do it when you first setup the Mac, there is no chance of synchronization issues of old and new data.
If you do it later, you have to be careful to backup any essential data first to an external source before importing, as it may be overwritten in the synchronization process by accident.

Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups

Please use the Contact link there for suggestions, changes, or corrections.

(Does that apply to Setup Assistant, too, or only Migration Assistant?)
I suspect both since I think both are based on the same engine. I've seen numerous articles refer to both programs simultaneously.
(It's driving me nutzo trying to get long text boxes with inserts to look decent, much less the same way, in Safari as they do in iWeb.)
