How can I transfer everything from a MBAir to new MBPro?

Hi,
I am writing this question on my MacBook Air, running OSX Mountain Lion.
I have on order a MacBook Pro Retina, which will probably come installed with Mountain Lion also.
Please advise how I can move everything from the MBAir to the new MBPro. I would like to have everything the same except it would now be on the more powerful Pro.
Thank you
RoystonfromBrighton.

Note that if you use Setup Assistant at the time of the first startup, the user account is transferred with the same name.  However, if you choose not to transfer the account until later, an empty account will be created and subsequent use of Migration Assistant will give your account a new one.  To have the name you had before for your own account, give the first empty account another.
I would use a transfer method you are familiar with, even if it takes a bit longer.
Have to disagree, regardless of how familiar with wi-fi you may be it remains the slowest, least reliable, most error prone method.

Wi Fi is Definately Not the way to go...
Unless (and I cast no aspersions here) you have a prediliction for frustration .......

  • How can i transfer everything from old iphone4s to new iphone5?

    just bought new iphone5, how do i transfer all the apps/contacts/etc from olf iphone4s?

    The easiest way is to back up old phone to icloud and then restore new phone from that old phone backup. Any purchased content such as apps and songs from the itunes and apps stores can be downloaded again.
    These directions are for an ipad, but the method is the same.

    How can I transfer music from nano to a new computer?  Old computer is gone.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases

  • How can I transfer music from old mini to new iPod nano?

    I was buying a MacBook laptop for school next year, and also got a new nano nearly free! So, I currently have a PC which I use for my iPod mini, but I want to put my music library into the Mac and the nano. How can I do this?
    The PC "sent" songs into the nano but they were gray and not playable. I really just want to move the whole library to the Mac. Please help!
    Thanks.

  • How can I transfer songs from iPod on to new iTunes account?

    My old laptop shut down, forcing me to buy a new macbook. I do not want to have to copy all my CDs and whatnot to my new laptop again. Without having to transfer the mp3 files on my hard drive to my new mac, is there any way I can sign into my old account (even if the iTunes library is empty) and transfer my IPod library to the new iTunes?

    I bought a new 5s with a new phone number. When I try to restore it from my old phone backups to the new one, the old backups are not there to choose this option.

    Hello ace3dman
    If you still have your previous iPhone, try backing it up once more time and the restoring that back up to your new iPhone.

  • How can I transfer Video from old IPOD to new

    I bought an IPOD from Ebay and would like to transfer the video from my classic Ipod to a new nano.
    Can I do this?
    Thanks

    Not directly (iPod to iPod). Instead, if you do not already have them in your iTunes library, you need to first get them back into your iTunes library. Then you can easily sync them out to any iPod you connect to that library.

  • How can I transfer playlists from old computer to new computer?

    I was using iTunes on a PC and finally threw in the towel and bought a new iMac. Got all my iTunes content transferred just fine. But, I can't figure out how to copy all my old playlists over. Can anyone help me with this?
    Thank you.

    Hello chaptx,
    First, you will need to export the playlists either to a flash drive, external hard drive, or back them up to a CD. You can do this by locating each playlist you wish to transfer to your new Mac, right->clicking on it and choosing the "Export" option or by going to the File drop down menu, choosing "Library" and then "Export Playlist" from there. From there, choose the location you wish to save the playlist to, whether it be a flash drive, external drive, etc.
    On your new mac, again, head to the File drop down menu and choose Library and then select "Import Playlist." Then navigate to wherever you have saved the playlist, whether it be on a flash drive, external hard drive, etc.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you transfer photos from iPod Nano to new iMac?

    My friend has an ipod nano. Here's a photo, not sure what gen. it is.
    He had a PC that no longer works and has no data left on it. His original iPod Photos were stored on that PC that no longer works.
    He has since purchased an iMac and is running Lion OS X, all up to date.
    The problem: He NO LONGER has the ORIGINAL PHOTOS, only the ones on his iPod Nano, that used to work with his PC, which no longer functions.
    He would like to copy the photos stored on his iPod Nano, to his new iMac.
    Using finder, he went to Device, then clicked PHOTOS and dragged the folder to his desktop. It said there was 1.43 GB of content.
    However, all that was saved to the desktop was (see other photo) Photo Cache, Photo Database and Thumbs. There are no photos at all. What is he doing wrong? Thanks.

    There are a number programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.
