Help! Migrate CS5 from Imac to MacBook Pro?
Is it possible to migrate just the CS5 application from my Imac to my MacBook Pro? I started looking for
my program disk (which I CANNOT find ANYWHERE) and am at my wits end to try to figure out how to get
something I already have onto something I just purchased! ACK!
Any help or tips would be MUCH appreciated!
Thanks,
Crystal
No. Use your CS5 disk to install CS5 onto your MacBook Pro.

HT3231 Can i migrate keynotes from iMac to Macbook Pro?
Can I migrate Keynotes from iMac to Macbook Pro?
Do you mean the program itself? If so then if it was bought from the Mac App Store just logon to the MAS with the same Apple ID you used when you bought it and redownload and install on the new Mac.
If it was bought on DVD then get that DVD out and install in on the new Mac then run Software Update to bring it up to its most current version.
If you mean the Keynotes you created then just copy them over your LAN from one Mac to the other. -
Migrating data from imac to macbook pro
Hi, need help! Just bought a Macbook Pro. Started it up along with my iMac (running Snow Leopard, upgraded to 10.6.8 including the additional download to assist in migration). Followed the directions on the Macbook for migration of data from my imac and whilst the Macbook can find the iMac the iMac still cannot find the Macbook . . . . . . .. Arrrggghh! I thought migration was supposed to be easy!!!!
Please help if you can . . . . . laymans terms for a ludite would be appreciated. CheersI understand that, but presumably to migrate data, both computers have to be able to 'see' each other . . . . the MBP gets to a point in Migration Assistant where it asks me to check that a number that it gives me can be seen on the iMac before it can continue (as the iMac can't find the Macbook I can't go any further). If I click 'continue' anyway on the MBP it just tells me that the other Mac is not responding and to make sure they are connected to the same network etc. . . .
I have tried using just the wireless connection and when that didn't work I read on the knowledge board that I should try connecting both machines via an Ethernet cable still no joy. . -
I have the education version of photoshop CS5 on my Imac ,,, had to buy a new macbook pro,,, how do I install CS5 on new computer?
You will need to de-activate CS5 on the first computer. Then install it on the 2nd using the same installer file (if from a download) or by inserting the dvd into the computer if purchased on disk. You can mount your first computer as a hard drive on the second computer using target mode.

Migrate data from imac to macbook pro
I want to migrate data from an imac over to a macbook pro. The macbook pro already has data on it which i want to keep on it. I want to make a new user on the macbook pro called "imac" and this user will have all the imacs data stored on it. How can I transfer all this data across and how can i put it into a new user?
Both computers are running OSX Mavericks.Thunderbolt is even better than Firewire.
Migration Assistant will not overwrite any existing data or existing user account. It will only create a new account and transfer into the new account.
If you wish to move data from your other computer into an existing user account on the target computer, then you don't want to use Migration Assistant. You would use another type of tool such as a standard backup utility or file/folder synchronization tool. I would suggest using Carbon Copy Cloner. Bear in mind that for this to work correctly the usernames of both the source and target accounts should be the same lest you run into permissions problems after the transfers.
CCC will let you specify only what you want to transfer or let you clone an entire volume. -
Interrupting migration assistant from imac to macbook pro?
i am currently using migration assistant to transfer information from my imac to a recently purchased macbook pro. unfortunately i didn't investigate enough before starting the process and i didn't expect it will take me 5 hours to finish. my question is: can i interrupt the process without damaging the computers or files? if so, how?
thanks Kappy for your quick reply. my biggest dilemma is that is about 1:33am, and i am contemplating to stay awake until early morning. still 4h:53min to go for the transfer tonbe completed. another related question: when i turned on my macbook pro was not prompted to install the software that came with it. instead i started with setup assistant that led me to migration information. i even didn't set up a new account or email in my new macbook pro. do you think once the migration is over i'll be prompted to install the software? by the way, my imac is relatively new (purchased in march this year)------- any thoughts? do you think i was not prompted to install the software because the imac software is update?

When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says "this user needs attention before migrating". My e-mail does not migrate in the process. This never happened before I updated to Maverick. I have repaired user permissions but this not make any difference
Just a Follow-up - the migration went fine. The migration did not import Little Snitch, Flip4Mac and DivX, stating they were incompatible. It also reported that Intego Back up Assistant has improper security setting (which I have not yet investigated).
I am encountering small problems. Safari would not open embedded pdf documents and instead showed a black screen. This was fixed with instructions found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html and it now works fine.
Importing 17 years of old mail from Eudora to Apple Mail was time consuming. mostly because of the pre-migration preening i did, but using Eudora file cleaner before the migrtaion helped a lot.
I amy find some more glitches, but so far everything seems to be working. -
Data Migration from iMac to MacBook Pro Issues
Hello!
I purchased a MacBook Pro and immediately began the data transfer through the Migration Assistant. Twelve hours later, it is at a screen saying "canceling migration", which it has been stuck on for five hours. I shut down my MacBook Pro and the iMac, and attempted to start the process over again. It appears that the data in fact did transfer, so I skipped the step asking me to transfer my data. Now I am at the screen to create my account, and it will not let me choose my full name or account name (due to that account information already being transfered over). That is the only account I would like to use, not any new account. I am unsure how to get around this step, any advice?
Thanks!I just bought a MacBook Pro and am trying to use MA to migrate stuff from my iMac (Intel, OSX 10.4.11) to my MacBook Pro (Intel, OSX 10.6.3).
Problem is, every time I try ("from" iMac "to" MacBook Pro), my iMac IDs my MacBook Pro and asks for the passcode, I give it, it then asks for the passcode again, I give it again, then it churns away with the message that it's "looking for other computers". On and on and on and gets stuck in this mode.
I'm using ethernet between the two. Tried wireless also. Same issue. Downloaded the Migration & DVD/CD Sharing Update onto the iMac; it's already on the MacBook Pro. Same problem persists.
Any suggestions? (among the ten zillion firewire cables I have, none fits the MacBook Pro, so haven't tried firewire yet).
Thanks. -
I have tried to transfer Mail from iMac to Macbook pro. It isn´t functioning, the program always hang up. Mac OS 10.9.4.
Tried how? Using what? Step-by-step details and the results you get along way should elicit a cogent response.

Dragging from iMac to Macbook Pro
I'm trying to copy some files between my iMac and Macbook Pro using Finder. The files are both owned by the same user, and I'm dragging between identically named folders. The files do NOT exist on the MBP when I start this operation.
When I try this operation, the first thing that occurs is that I am asked to enter my password, which has never occurred before (I just replaced my old Macbook with the MBP, which is the only change since I last tried to copy files from one system to the other). Okay, maybe this is due to the fact that the user numbers don't match (I'm user 501 on the iMac, user 503 on the MBP thanks to a Migration Assistant battle), so I go ahead and enter my password.
The next thing that happens is I get a dialog that says "A new item named "blah" already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the older one you're moving?" When I started the copy, "blah" did NOT exist on the MBP - it was created sometime after I began the copy. The file is empty on the MBP, so I click the Replace button.
I now get a new dialog that says "The operation can' be completed because an item with the name "" already exists." Note that the filename is apparently an empty string. At this point, I have no choice but to click OK. The copy is terminated, and I'm left with an empty file named "blah" on the MBP.It turns out I can drag something from the remote system to the local system (i.e., Macbook Pro to iMac if I'm sitting at the iMac), but not from the local system to the remote system.

How to transfer photos from Imac to Macbook Pro using firewire?
What is the best way to transfer photos from my Imac to Macbook Pro using firewire?
Put one of the computers in Target Disk mode by holding down the T key while your computer is starting. By doing this, the hard drive of the computer you put in Target Disk will appear as an external drive in the other computer, so just open a Finder window and choose the other computer's hard drive in the sidebar.
Then, just go to the folder where your pictures are and copy them to your computer or to the Mac in Target Disk mode, depending on the computer you put in Target Disk -

How to install software from imac to macbook pro
how to install software from imac to macbook pro
Are you using one of the newer iMac's with no DVD drive? If so, you can either get an external CD/DVD drive (any make - doesn't have to be Apple) or, if you have another Mac on the same network that has a CD/DVD drive you may be able to do it by turning on 'DVD or CD Sharing' on that Mac (System Preferences>Sharing). Hopefully you'll see the disk on the Mac without the DVD drive and be able to install from there.

Hi there,
My wife just finished uni and has no need for her laptop any longer. I have an iMac that she has created a user account on and now uses this more than her macbook pro. We want to give her macbook away so someone can use it however im not sure how to move everything from her macbook pro to my imac and her user account.
Im not even sure if this is possible. Ive tried the Migration assistant but im scared i will wipe my iMac and everything i have on it.
Basically we both want to use the same computer, 2 different user accounts and she doesnt want to lose anything she had on her macbook pro.
I would appreciate some help =)On the iMac log into your wife's account, then open System Preferences and select the Sharing tab. In the left window pane select File Sharing and look at the top to see the iMac's name. Then log in on her notebook and open a Finder window. In the sidebar to the left you should see Favorites and a list of folders, Devices and a couple of items, and then Shared and under shared you should see the iMac's name you saw previously. Click on it and the Finder window will change, a dark bar will appear near the top and to the right in that dark bar you should see a Connect button. Your wife should enter her account name on the iMac and her password. Now the window should display a short list of folders, one of which has the name of her account. Click on it and you'll see the folders on the iMac. Now she can simply drag and drop files from the notebook to the folders of the iMac.
Note: if there aren't too many files it may be simpler to just use a flash drive.
