Do I need to de-authorize my old 2007 MBP before migrating to a new one?re mi

Will the new MBP have all my iPad apps and data in the right place after migrating and with the correct permissions?
Also, is the set-up assistant smart enough to leave all the old PPC programs and associated system files behind? I don't want the clog up the new machine with old irrelevant stuff.
Thanks a mil.

Okay, I just read this on anther thread:
Also remember any old PowerPC (PPC) based apps will migrate but they will not run in ML so you need to either replace or update them prior to migration.
I want to keep the PPC based aps on my old computer and most of them cannot be upgraded on the old system. If I migrate and therefore copy them over, how can I find all the files that relate to those apps to delete them?

Upgrade the old iMac before migrating to a new one or not?

Hi all,
I am planning to buy a new iMac and would like to migrate some of my stuff to it from an old iMac. And then I would also like to migrate some of my stuff from a still older MacBook onto this old iMac. Complicated enough? :-)
In short:
Step one: stuff from my 5 year old iMac with OS 10.7.5 Lion on it migrates to -----> a brand new iMac with Yosemite.
Step two: stuff from my 8 year old MacBook with OS 10.5.8 on it (and not upgradable any further) migrates to -----> the 5 year old iMac with OS 10.7.5 Lion on it.
Now, my questions are these:
1) Should I first upgrade the 5 year old iMac with OS 10.7.5 Lion on it to Yosemite before migrating my stuff from it to a brand new iMac with preinstalled Yosemite or not? Recommended, not recommended, neutral, what?
2) If the answer to the 1st question is "yes" (recommended), will I then be able to migrate my stuff from the 8 year old MacBook with OS 10.5.8 onto it? That is, will the two migration assistants (of OS 10.9 and OS 10.5) "talk" to each other at all?
Any further tips will be hugely appreciated!
Lots of thanks in advance!

Hi rkaufmann87,
thank you so much for your reply!
I am afraid you misunderstood me a little bit… While you kindly explain to me ways of how to migrate my data from one computer to another, my question was not so much about "how" but rather about "whether":
a) should I first upgrade my old iMac (with 10.7.5 Lion on it) to Yosemite before migrating its data to the new iMac with preinstalled Yosemite? Will it help in any way or is it irrelevant?
b) and if the answer is "yes" (i. e. upgrade the old iMac to Yosemite), whether the migration assistant on the 8 year old MB will then be able to "talk" to its counterpart on the now upgraded old iMac?
Perhaps this too might help:
What I am trying to do is make two computers out of three -
1) My wife's 8 year old MacBook will most probably go to the dustbin. Before it does, I would like to migrate her data to my 5 year old iMac which will then replace her MB (in the dustbin) and be hers forever after.
2) I will certainly have to migrate my own data from my 5 year old iMac to the new iMac which I am about to buy.
So the question remains: upgrade the old iMac for both purposes (s. above - #1 and #2) from Lion to Yosemite - yes, no, doesn't matter, what?
Many thanks again!

Used Appleworks on old Macbook Pro. Migrated everything. New one won't read my files. What do I do? My life's work.

I tried Text Edit, the one that comes with the Mac, but got garbage instead of my syllabus. Message reads "Power PC no longer supported".
I dread uploaded everything to Google Docs because there is so much material, years and years of work.

What version of Apple Works created these files? Apple works 6 or greater documents will open with Pages. If you don't have Pages, you can download a 30 day free trial here http://www.apple.com/iwork/download-trial/ You can download a full version from the "apps store" for $19.95
Once you have it, right click on one of your apple works document, and select "get info". A long skinny info window will open. In the "open with" section, ensure you set "Pages", then click the "change all" button. Close this "get info window"
Now just click on one of your apple works files, and it should open in Pages Pages tutorials can be found here - http://www.apple.com/iwork/tutorials/#pages-hero

I need to de-authorize my old computer.

I need to de-authorize my old computer. The problem is I broke it and I can't get into iTunes to de-authorize it. I need to authorize my new computer. Help me please!

Use the Deauthorize All command documented in this article. If that's not an option, use the 'contact iTunes Store support' link at the bottom of it.

2007 iMac freezes up, rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve?

My circa 2007 iMac freezes up, and rainbow wheel appears when this happens. I know the computer is starting to get old but I can't afford a new one at this time and would love to continue using my Mac, but it's frustrating. Most of the time I ONLY have 1 thing open at a time, and keep my tabs down to a minimum. I bought this to do film editing on but with it acting like this I cannot do that. I know I need a ram upgrade (currently running 2 gb) and my OS is old, 10.5.8, but I think even with it being a bit outdated it should run better than this. Would a fresh install or OS upgrade resolve this? Or any other suggestions to keep this clunker chugging along for a little while longer?

How full is the hard drive?
Do you run any virus software or hard drive "cleaner" software like MacKeeper?
If your model is from 2007 you can install up to 6 GBs of RAM.
2 GBs is the barest of minimum RAM for OS X to run on.
Especially if doing video work. You simply do not have sufficient RAM.
Also OS X 10.5.8 Leopard support ended around 2009.
You could update to OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, at least.
It is available on disc from the Apple store for U.S. $19.99.
I Would seriously upgrade your iMac's RAM to the max. 6 GBs before doing this.
Reliable Mac RAM can be purchase from online Mac RAM source Crucial memory or OWC ( also known as macsales).

How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)?

How do I change the default program to open Pages docs to the old (4.3) version instead of the new one (5.0)? When I do what Apple said and go to a Pages file in finder and select "get info" then select "Pages 4.3" and "change all" it just defaults to the new one even though I'd selected the old one. Do I need to completely uninstall the new version of Pages or is there another work around because the new version of Pages comes dreadfully short of the features I need that are included in the old one?

HOWEVER, if you modified a document in 5.0, 4.3 can't open it. You'll have to use Time Machine to replace the modified version with an earlier version that was last modified in 4.3.
Actually there is a workaround.
If you open the file in Pages 5, it can then be exported on Pages 0.9 format to another folder. I had to do this as the document was only in iCloud and couldn't be recoverd by Time Machine.
Worked for me!

Did you copy your actual iTunes content from your computer before reinstalling iTunes, or did you just copy your iTunes library which only contains the pointers to your songs / books locations ?
You might, depending upon your country and if they are still in your country's store, be able to redownload your music purchases and your ibooks via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage - you will need to delete the entries from your library (where you are getting the 'unable to locate' messages) before they will potentially show with the cloud icon against them in Purchased for redownloading.
Or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library

Do I need to set up Creative Cloud on my old mac first, then access it on the new one?

Yes (I think).
Other than the financial discount available for the first year of Cloud membership, there is no relationship between your CS5.5 software and Cloud software.
Once you're a Cloud member just sign in (on any computer) to www.adobe.com with your Adobe ID and download the Cloud software.
You can only activate the software a maximum of two times using the same Adobe ID.

The SIM card only holds information from your carrier regarding your account. I'm not sure how someone else is going to get ahold of your old SIM. If you are selling the phone, wipe the phone clean and remove the SIM.

You'll also want to make sure you have fulfilled any commitment on your current iPhone. If you purchased it on contract then you'll need to make sure you have completed the terms of the contract. Some carriers won't allow you to upgrade to another phone until you have either met your commitment or paid off the existing contract. Check with your carrier before selling your existing device. You don't want to be standing at the counter with a new device only being told that you're not eligible to upgrade yet.
