From Mac Pro to Macbook and back, round-trip help (new user)

I've searched a bit, but honestly I'm not sure yet what I'm searching for exactly so please excuse this post if it's been explained previously.
Picked up Aperture a few days ago, reading, learning the tutorials, loving it... I wanted to make sure I'm doing this right from the get-go.
I made a new project with an album and book inside. I've been editing the images and now need to travel with them so I can show my father how his shots are coming along... and also proudly show off what Aperture can do! I need to figure out the best way to transfer these images over to my Macbook, work on them on the road, then when I come back overwrite or sync back to my Mac Pro. (There's no need to continually keep them synced).
Someone willing to point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

If it's just a single Project, the easiest is to:
1. Export the Project from your Mac pro.
2. Import the project into Aperture on your MBP.
3. Do all your on-the-road stuff.
4. When you come back, export the Project from the MBP and copy to the Mac pro.
5. Import the project on the Mac pro and delete the 'old' copy of the Project from within Aperture.

Can I migrate from Mac Pro to MacBook?

I´m on older Mac Pro but with Mavericks and the disk set up is quite fresh.
I want to migrate the system and all app to a MacBook Pro (2013) and just ceep on working. Is it just to go ahead and do it or should I think of somethings? Is the Mavericks install the same for a workstation from 2007 as for a laptop from 2013?
Hope you can guide me!

Copy Mail Rules from Mac Pro to Macbook Air in Mavericks 10.9

Hi All-
I have a Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9 and a Macbook Air also running 10.9. I have set up a very detailed set of rules for organizing my incoming email on my Mac Pro that I would also like to use on my Macbook Air.
Details:
Mac Pro - Mavericks 10.9
Macbook Air - Mavericks 10.9
Application - Apple Mail
Mail setting use IMAP on both machines
iCloud used to sync everything else on both machines
Is there a way to copy the mail rules I have set up on my Mac Pro to my Macbook Air?
Thanks in advance!

William-
I checked iCloud "Documents & Data" / Options and I see Preview and iMovie in there but nothing about Mail.
Do step by step instructions exist anywhere? Seems like a handy feature in Mavericks but I can't find a peep about it.
Thanks!

How can I transfer my 'pages' from mac to I-pad and back again?

Hi, how can I use the 'Pages' on both my desktop and the I-Pad? I've tried using DropBox but it doesn't seem to work with Pages? Any other ideas?

This is how it works if your iPad is connected to your Mac and you want to sync back and forth.
Find the document in Pages on your iPad that you want to transfer to your Mac. Click on the curved arrow icon at the bottom of the window and a dialog box pops up with several options. You can choose any of these options to send the file to your Mac. The third option, the one that I use, is send to iTunes. Tap that icon, select the file type that you want to use for the document (Pages, pdf, .doc) connect your iPad to your Mac, launch iTunes, select your device on the left side of iTunes. Then select Apps in the top of the iTunes window and scroll down to the File Sharing box. Select Pages and then sync. That document will now be transferred to your Mac and you will see it on the right side the box called Pages Documents.
To go from the Mac to the iPad, (while the ipad is connected to your Mac as described above) select Pages in the File Sharing box, then click on Add in the lower right corner of the Pages document box, select the file that you want to transfer to your iPad, tap the down arrow icon in Pages on your iPad, select Copy from iTunes, and the file name will appear. Tap on that file and it will transfer.

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro

Cannot connect from Mac Pro late 2013 to Macbook Pro . I have tried via ethernet and wifi. I can connect from the MBP to the Mac Pro but not vice versa. I have tried to connect to other MBP's on the same network with no luck. I try and connect as a registered user, as I usually do, with no luck. When I enter the Username and then Password the box vibrates as if the details are incorrect, they are not however.
Thanks in advance
Jeff

It is 'just not working' again.
To answer you question. Other sharing services work. I can connect as a guest. I can share screens. I cannot air drop.
I cannot connect either way now i.e. from Mac Pro to MBP and vice versa.
I cannot connect to my wife MBP either. My wife cannot connect to my Mac Pro.
It neither works with wifi or ethernet cable.
I can connect to my Time Capsule directly and Time Machine backups are working.
The passwords are 100% correct.
The Mac Pro is a late 2013. Does anyone else have a similar problem? I have never suffered this one before. Seriously effecting my workflow
Thanks

I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

Moving a folder from Mac Pro to new MacBook Pro

I have a new 15" retina MBP and an older MacPro desktop, both for work. I like to move my Mail folder between the machines - to the MBP when out of office then back to the Mac Pro when I return. I was able to do this easily via Firewire with my older MBP. When I connect via the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, I can see each machine but that's as far as it goes. I cannot connect and therefore cannot transfer the folder. I resorted to using Target Disk Mode, but I don't want to do this every time. MBP is running Mountain Lion and Mac Pro is running Lion. Any thoughts?

I've got a time machine backup on an internal HDD that also contains a partition for bootcamp and a partition for scratch use with photoshop cs3. I also have an external HDD for use with superduper. It has one partition for my startup disk and another for my home folder.
However, I don't know if the time machine option will work for me as it resides on an internal 3.5 HDD, unless I can somehow connect the macbook to the mac pro via ethernet and copy the time machine data that way.

No Sound from Mac Pro, however, volume icon moves up and down

Hello, I was using my 12 month old Mac Pro last night and it worked fine with sound as normal. When I powered it up today there is no sound coming from my monitor, but the volume icon moves up and down when I press the keys? I've checked in the Preference sound file and everything is set ok? I googled this problem and some people have suggested that there should not be a 'red' light showing in the digital connection on the back? However, I can see a red light, I've tried using my headphones in the front mini-jack and nothing? I disconnected the monitor audio cables restarted the Mac, there was then sound as normal if I used the sound keys. I re-connected the audio cable and it continued to play sound for 5 minutes or so, then stopped working again?

I have a problem with my Powerbook automatically muting. If you read the posts, there seem to be a lot of people having this problem and no one can explain or help.

Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro. I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose. Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like a charm.

I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and Mac Pro Mid 2012, both running OS 10.8.5. When working in Illustrator the Display starts to make my Document trasparent and I can see the desktop through my document. I have to toggle my display res back and forth to fix it?

I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 and 2012 both running OS 10.8.5. Both using ATI Radeon HD 5770 1052 MB vid cards.
Using the standard Display that came with the Macs, everytime I'm working in Ilustrator CS5 or 6, the Document I am working on gets transparent, and I when I try to move a pallete or the Document itself, the pallet or doc leaves trails from where it was to where I moved it. The only way I can resolve it is to open the Display prefs, choose a lower res, then switch it back to the "Best for Display" option. This started happening on both machines after the 10.8.5 update. I have since gone through all the Pram and Board resets, even had Apple replace the Vid Card and nothing helps. Anybody have this issue. It only happens in Illustrator.

Migrating iCal and Address book data from Mac Pro G5 10.5 to new iMac10.6

I last week moved from my old Mac Pro G5 with OS 10.5 to a new iMac 2.8 GHz Intel core i7.
I succeeded pretty well to move my different files from one computer to the other not using the Migration assistant, which wouldn't work properly, but using my older Mac Pro as target disk.
Everything apparently works well with the exception of the transfer of data from iCal and my Address Book.
As suggested in a previous thread : kimaccdual: A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs, I tried to transfer the complete iCal and Address Book folders from : Home/Library/Application Support from the old to the new computer. This gave no result at all. Not any of the older data : appointments from iCal; names, addresses, phone numbers, etc (in actual fact : nothing) from the Address book application appears on the new iMac.
Can any one make a suggestion as to what specific files with their exact location contain this information so that I could try to transfer these to my new computer with more success than so far.
Thanks for your assistance
Just for your information I succeeded to transfer Bookmarks from Safari, mails from Mail, iPhoto and iTunes data.
What could be wring with iCal and Address Book ???

Kappy,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried this for the iCal application, however without any success. In actual fact in Home/Library/Preferences I only found following references to iCal :
com.apple.iCal.AlarmScheduler.plist
com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
com.apple.iCal.plist
which i copied from the old to the new computer as well as the iCal folder in Application Support as suggested.
As already said without any success.
As far as Address Book is concerned only the same type of files, but related to AB, are located on both computers.
Am I missing something or should I look for other files elsewhere f.i. in the "Contents" folder of the application itself ???
Thanks for anybody's further assistance
