Help: New MBP Retina, need content off mid 2011 iMac!

Hey everyone,
I have got my new Macbook Pro Retina up and running, but I need to get some things off of my iMac (mid 2011 model).
The retina display MacBook Pro has no firewire socket or ethernet.
Doing this wirelessly would be ideal.
I am just looking for my iPhoto, iMovie and iTunes to be replicated.
Your advice will be much appreciated.
Lee.

If you have a bootable clone of the 2011's drive, you can use that to migrate your stuff over. Wirelessly will work too but not fast and painlessly.
More info: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
Note that there are two migration scenarios:
If you elect to migrate from another computer, Mac or PC, the first time you start up the new Mac, it will be done thru the Setup Assistant and will essentially copy over everything including the original user accounts and passwords.
If you do it afterwards by running Migration Assistant, incoming user accounts that are the same as those already on the new Mac will be renamed. This can lead to confusion and permission issues.

  • My MBP display is not working.  Need to move data to new MBP Retina.

    Hello.
    My 3 yr old MBP display failed (display just showing vertical and horizontal lines).
    I bought a new MBP Retina today.
    Genius Bar told me to simply attach FireWire, then press "T" on old MBP to boot in Target Mode.
    Then, look for old MBP HD icon on new MBP Retina desktop.
    I cannot find old MBP icon on desktop.
    I cannot transfer data from old MBP to new MBP Retina.
    Any help would be appreciated?
    Ken

    Genius bar told you right - you need to start your old MBP up into target mode (booting while hold down the T key) but you need to have the right FireWire cable hooked up to the machines before you boot either. What year is your old model? Does it hve FW400 or FW800?
    Here are the instructions from Apple - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661. Take a look at it and see if it helps. Also make sure that you have the Finder set so that external and remote disks will show up on your Desktop. When the disk mounts you can either just copy over files or, if you want to transfer accounts and associated directories, use Migration Assistant in your Utilities folder to copy over the info.
    Good luck - call back if it's not working.

  • Brand new MBP Retina constant kernal panics

    I have a new MBP Retina with Mavericks 10.9.4 installed. I have received constant kernal panics since a few days into it. It seemed as though they were being cause by the io/logic boards, but those have both been replaced now. OS has been reinstalled multiple times to no avail. BSD and kernals blamed are all over the place (Dock, WindowsServer, mds; filesystems, AppleSMBusController, IOAcceleratorFamily)
    The latest kernal panic is as follows:

    I've got many more where that came from. I just don't want to post a wall of text.

    An update on my situation.
    I had my macbook pro replaced with a brand new one by Apple, which was brilliant customer service.
    Before giving back the old macbook, I decided to copy all my essential documents over to a usb stick. I also formatted my time machine external drive so it was blank.
    Rather than restore this new macbook using my time machine backup, I set it up as a new machine and copied just my documents from my usb stick. I then proceeded to carry out fresh installs of software I regularly use but nothing non-essential (namely Spotify, Firefox, Chrome, xCode, Adobe CS5, Squidman, MAMP and Office 2011).
    For three days everything worked beautifully - until last night when I had my first kernel panic on this machine. Nothing was running apart from firefox when this panic occured. The report is below and states the process which was running was 'plugin-container' which is part of firefox.
    Below is the log output:

    I've tested the thunderbolt display with a friends MacBook Air and I see no problems there.
    Any clues what is going on? Or it this latest Kernel Panic just a coincidence compared to my previous macbook?
    Thanks in advance!

  • New MBP Retina Trackpad "jumps", doesn't select...

    Has anyone had an issue with the trackpad in the (NEW) MBP (Retina or otherwise)?  There are times when I "Tap" to move the cursor or select something new and it won't do it correctly, or it will jump off the point (or link, or whatever) that I'm trying to select.  Occassionally, it takes a couple tries to get it to operate correctly.
    I have tried changing the preferences--going both directions in sensitivity, but nothing seems to help (and that's about the only control we have now in the new OS).  I prefer my setting to "Tap", rather than "click".  If I wanted to make the click, it appears it wouldn't be an issue... I am just trying to keep it like I've had my previous MBP (mid-2009).  Both MBPs have Mountain Lion installed, and the mid-2009 seems to work flawlessly with the "Tap" selected.  Have already visited the Genius Bar twice--they have no solution.
    Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I have the same EXACT problem.  It doesn't do it all the time, and sometimes can go almost a minute without noticing it, and the it might do it 5 times in a row.  I finally called Apple and we went through some resetting and such.  It didn't do anything, and he asked me to create a new test user account and see if it happened there, which it did.  He said since I was within the 14 day window, to exchange it and said he set it up in the computer and gave me a number.  I guess I will go to the Apple Store on 14th St. tomorrow and exchange it?  I dunno, I feel stupid exchanging it for such a minor (but definitely annoying) problem.  I imagine a software update could fix it.  I really doubt it's hardware (but the tech seams to think it is).  Regardless, I shouldn't have to deal with this issue for such an expensive laptop

  • Moving iDVD from old MBP to new MBP retina.

    My old MBP (with internal super drive) is running 10.7.5 and has iDVD on it.  Obviously the new MBP Retina does comes with 10.8.2 and does not have iDVD.  Is there a way I can get iDVD off the old machine and install it on the new one?  (I have the external Apple Super Drive and need to burn some DVDs)
    Thanks!
    Trey

    I think you can copy iDVD from the /Applications folder on your old Mac to your new Mac's /Application folder. If that doesn't work, you can use your SuperDrive and install iDVD from your iLife DVD.

  • Is there a way to run a 2005 PreSonus Firebox(with the firewire) to a mid-2011 iMac 0SX 10.7.2? It says its no longer supporting Power PC? Anything I can do without spending more money on new equipment or a new computer? Please help me.

    Nevermind, I got it working.
    I ended up extracting the new vob within MPEG Streamclip, which gave me an m2v and an aiff audio. I multiplexed those two back together in FFMpegX which gave me a complete VIDEO_TS folder with BUP and IFO files I needed.

  • Update impossible on the new MBP Retina?

    Hi! I got my new MBP Retina two weeks ago and since then I tried to update it several times, but there's always an error message saying "the package is broken" or something like this when I reboot it.
    I mean it does try to install it when rebooting but it fails everytime.I tried to download every package from Apple website separately and install them apart with the same failure everytime. I'm wondering where the error is!!
    I consider restore my session but if you happen to know anything before I do that it would be awesome and perhaps save me a great amont of time! Thanks a lot!
    Configuration details :
    Processor : 2.6 GHz intel Core i7

    What are you updating please?

  • New MBP-Retina (Indexing Question)

    Hello.
    I just bought a new MacBook Pro - Retina yesterday.
    I am having difficulty transferring files from old MBP using Migration Assistant.
    The old MBP display screen has failed, so I am unable to see screen promots / menus to go through the normal Migration Assistant process.
    Instead, I am just hoping that the Transfer is occuring.
    It appears that new MBP-Retina is (and has ben) INDEXING overnight.
    Can anyone explain if INDEXING indicates that I have indeed started the file transfer from old MBP to new MBP-Retina?
    Any ideas on how to start and/or confirm Transfer of data?
    Thanks!

  • Screen capture on my new MBP Retina 15"

    When I do a screen capture on my new MBP Retina 15" and paste it into Outlook or any other program it looks huge and distorted, how do I fix this?
    I'm assuming it's because I am capturing the image in Retina 2880x1400 and then trying to paste that image into a non Retina enabled 3rd party program so it scales the image down which causes it to blow up the img and distort/pixelate.
    I'm assuming there is a simple common sense fix for this which  Iam obviously unaware of...?

    False alarm, took memory stick back to store and fault is same on shops mbp-r.  They swapped it for a new one and now everything is fine.  Sorry apple, how could I have doubted you!!

  • Sad day today - New MBP retina 15" and no scanner and no CS6

    Walking back from happiness!
    The first two week I was very amused with my new MBP retina 15" - I'm changing from Windows XP professional.
    But now it looks like that I have to install bootcamp on the mac to run Windows 7 with my CS5 for PC.
    Has anyone experience with installing bootcamp on mavericks.
    Is it complicated, I'm a little afraid to destroy something?
    Greetings

    Well, my English is not so good so that my writing was missunderstandable.
    I know that software for windows don't run on a mac.
    So yesterday i bought a CS6 for mac... Tragedy...
    Anyway ...
    But now: Bootcamp
    I read the manual, but I'm not sure if I understood it right...
    First I load the drivers for windows from apple and save them on a stick?
    Then I make a partition in the Festplattendienstprogramm?
    Then I set in the DVD from Windows in the DVD-Player and start the installation?
    After restart of Windows i start the drivers from the USB?
    Please be so kind and correct me if I'm wrong.

    Doesn't sound like it.  It sounds like you're being logged-off.
    Does your Mac go through the complete Restart cycle -- black screen, gray and/or blue screen momentarily, startup chime, etc? 
    If you're not sure, do a Restart just to watch the process; the next time the problem occurs, see if it's the same.
    You need to know which it is, as these will have very different causes, and different places to look for a solution.

  • I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

    I have a mid-2011 iMac running Mavericks. When I click restart the computer goes to a white screen with a spinning circle and does not go any further until I hold down the power button to turn it off. What do I do?

    Ok, sounds like the safe mode boot worked... You probably don't want to always be in safe mode though (some reduced functionality) so does it do a normal boot now? If not, you should then reboot into safe mode and run Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD on the left hand side, and click the Verify Disk button. If needed, it will ask you to Repair Disk. If there are errors found, Repair Disk again until there are none. Then try another normal boot and reply with result, wether good or bad.

  • PC Games and peripherals on Windows 7 on Lion on mid-2011 iMac. Possible?

    Sorry for the long marquee, but I want to get anecdotal-experience answers on this convoluted subject before I waste a couple months of my fairly-rapidly-closing life --carpe diem. all y'all -- on something that's doomed from the very start.
    For reasons I can't quite fathom (relative installed population, maybe), there are very few racing sims -- none, as far as I'm concerned -- for the Mac. That's most def not true for the PC -- I've been a Mac-only user since 1989, but the PC has always been -- when working -- a pretty good gaming platform (ALL it's good for AFAIC), with tons of titles, and the ability to accomodate multi, MULTI-axis controllers, like force-feedback steering wheels with gas, brake, and clutch pedals, and gearshift. I know of nothing like that for the Mac, even if there were racing sims that would run on a Mac.
    So here's what I need to know: if I had a Boot Camp partition on my home drive (Macintosh HD), with a 32-bit or 64-bit (full version) of Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, or Windows 7 Ultimate (necessary for my Mid-2011 27" iMac running Lion or above) installed on that partition, could I then install PC racing sims on that Boot Camp Windows 7-whatever Platform, and be able to use multi-axis controllers, like a Thrustmaster wheel, pedal, and shifter set?
    Please, if anyone has been able to do this, by whatever means, on a mid-2011 iMac running OS X 10.7.x or above, I'd be eternally grateful if you could share your experience.
    Thanks!
    Bart

    Seeing as how there are about 117 different versions of 64-bit Windows 7 out there, is there any particular version that is more advantageous -- in the case of Microsoft products, that means less bug-ridden -- for use on Boot Camp? I've seen reasonably priced ($66) versions like this:
    "Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit FULL - BRANDED"
    But then the description consists of this mangled English:
    "This product will be branded HP, Dell, etc. but will do a FULL install on any brand computer and includes a DVD and COA. This is only unique to branded? [sic -- BB] OEM Windows products and not to non branded OEM Windows products. If you are the person people always seem to ask for help when their computer isnt right you should be fine with this. If you are not that kind of user you may want to stick to a non branded oem. Once again this only applies to Mac users [really sic -- BB]."
    This is the only part of the description on this product page that even mentions "Mac users," and I'm left wondering if this "FULL - BRANDED" 64-bit version of Windows 7 will work OK on a Boot Camp partition on an OS X 10.7.x -- 10.8.x iMac.
    Knowing all too well what a rat's-nest Windows has been since it was first foisted upon an unsuspecting public in 1985, with security problems that, after nearly 30 years, have still not been addressed, I want a 64-bit version of Win 7 that's going to give me the least amount of grief on my Boot Camp partition.
    As this thread seems to be pretty much a dead letter, as many discussion threads become after an answer is provided, should I create a new question titled:
    "Which 64-bit version of Windows 7 will work best on a Boot Camp partition on an OS X 10.7.x -- 10.8.x iMac?"
    Thanks again!

  • Airport network worked fine until I added a mid 2011 iMac

    All devices on my airport extreme wifi network are experiencing slow or intermittent internet access since I added my new iMac. Additionally my Xbox hard hard wired to the AirPort Extreme is having connection issues. I purchased a mid 2011 iMac. I upgraded the OS to the 10.8.2 as soon as I got it setup so I have no real baseline of whether this is causing issues, however turning off wifi on the iMac seems to clear up the connectivity issues.
