Got a new Mac. How do I not miss a beat?

I have have all my projects on my macbook pro. I need to transfer everything to my new mac pro. All my capture scratches are on external drives all I need is my project files,So everything will pop up on my new computer in finalcutpro just how they are on my previous computer. I dont know exactly what files I should be looking for either, I always had it where I opened fcp6 up and everything was opened up automatically so I never gave much thought to where it all was until I got this new computer.

We seem to be parsing this all kids of different ways.
I say:
1. Install your FCP suite on the new machine.
2. Use Migration Assistant if you wish, to move all your other stuff but that is NOT part of this discussion. You can ersearch that on lots of sites.
3. Copy your project files to your new machine.
4. Serialize your Final Cut products and run all updates.
5. Restart, restart, restart until no new updates come down.
6. While the machine is off, plug your external drives into your new machine.
7. Launch FCP and try to one one of your old projects.
Then tell us what happened.

  • Just got a new mac - how can I keep working on my old iWeb site??

    Hi friends,
    I just migrated all my old data from an external hd onto my new MacBook. I see my website data, and I put it in the Sites folder, but opening iWeb prompts me to start a new website. How do I continue working on my website, i.e., open my old files in iWeb?
    Thanks!

    iWeb '08 stores your website data in a domain.sites2 file located in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
    You need to copy this to the same location on your new Mac and then double click the domain file to launch iWeb for the first time only. After that you can launch your site from the application.
    If you open a new site in iWeb first you can save the blank domain file in a new folder for starting new sites.

  • I just got a new mac pro and did not set up a password and now it is asking me for one? what can I do now?

    Hi...please help me. I just got a Mac Pro yesterday and did not set up a password at apple now it is asking me for one to download flash player plug in. what can i do?

    What I think you are talking about is a user name and password for an Apple ID.
    Apple IDs use a email address and a password you create for that email address on Apples website.
    There should be a link on whatever page you are on to Create an Apple ID. Click that link.
    Or just open App Store from the link on you Dock then Find the link to create an Apple ID.
    Absolutely not.  You can create a blank password.  Yes it's stupid.  Yes it's unsafe.  But from helping people with their Macs, I find most do not set up a password.  <facepalm>

  • My new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    my new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
    If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
    Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
    How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
    How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
    How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
    What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
    Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
    For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

    Restore the backup of your old computer to your new Mac.

  • I lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S).

    i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.

    Contacts are not a part of back up.
    Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
    Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
    So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

    I bought Photoshop CS2 some time ago. I got a new mac (OS X 10.8.2) and when I'm trying to install it I introduce the cd, accept and after it copies the files, appears "The installation failed" The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the sofware manufacturer for assistance. How can i fix this problem?

    The CS2 version of Photoshop is Power PC code only, It won't work with your new Intel Mac OSX 10.8.2
    I found this:
    Q. Will Adobe update Adobe Creative Suite , Studio 8, or individual applications, such as Photoshop CS, InDesign CS, Illustrator CS, Dreamweaver 8, Flash Professional 8, or After Effects 7.0, to be Universal applications?
    A. No, Adobe does not plan to re-release current products as Universal applications that can run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based systems. This applies to Adobe Creative Suite 2 and Studio 8, as well as individual applications such as Photoshop CS2 . . . .
    Sorry, SOL

  • I got a new MacBook, and iChat will not open at all.

    About a month ago, I got a new MacBook (the regular one, not Air or Pro). Everything is working fine, except for iChat. It has never opened since purchasing my new computer and it continues not to. When you double click the iChat icon, "iChat" appears in the top bar containing File, Edit, View, etc., but the actual program never pops up. Considering that I have a new computer with little stored on it right now, I do not think that lack of memory space (if that's a proper name for the term) is the problem. I'm not to technical with computers (I know how to do cool stuff on them, but I don't know things like codes, HTML, and those kinds of number things). I am pretty sure, however, that I have a brand-new MacBook with 2008 iLife software and, I think, Leopard. Can someone with more knowledge of computers please help me! Thanks!

    If iChat appears in the menu bar press the cmd/1 keys together to see the buddy list or click on window in the menu bar and click on your buddy list.

  • I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

    I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

    That's not easy.  The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
    You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy.  See Transferring files from one User Account to another.
