  • How do i transfer data from my old imac to my new macbook pro?, how do i transfer data from my old imac to my new macbook pro?

    HOW DO I TRANSFER DATA FROM MY IMAC TO MY NEW MACBOOK PRO? I tried it with an ethernet cable and it seems to go OK till it gets to applications. From there the time it takes to complete seems to increase rather than decrease!

    That's the easiest way, this side of using Time Machine. The time it takes to transfer files between our computers ka vary but while doing it on my MBP I had to leave it plugged in for near 24 hours and it was supposed to take 3.

    Hi,
    Try Target Disk Mode

    There is also Migration Assistant.

    How do I transfer files from my old iMac to my new Pro laptop?

    If you can get both computers on the Internet at the same time without re-cabling, you have the connection infrastructure needed to enable file sharing and share those files.
    That said, many users find it easier to use FireWire Target Disk mode to treat the old computer as a big Hard drive, and just drag and drop the files, or use Migration Assistant or Setup Assistent.
    There is a really good guide here:

  • How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?

    How can I transfer music from my old iPad to my new MacBook ?
    My old MacBook was stolen and now I have all my music still on my IPad but like to get it back in my ITunes as well, is this possible ?

    If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, simply sign into your iTunes Store account on iTunes. From there, go to the main page of the store. Then, on the right, there should be a purchased button. Tap there, and walla! You can download all of your past purchases. If it wasn't from the iTunes Store, use a third party Mac app.

  • How do i transfer files an external hard drive to a new macbook pro

    how do i transfer files from an external hard drive to a new macbook pro?

    thank you.  i did that with my old computer, and it saved it as a whole other computer on my new macbook.  now if i do the same for the external hard drive, i guess it will save it as another separate computer on the new one.  so i guess what i should have asked is, is there any way to copy my whole old computer and external, but have the files integrated into the new mac, so i don't have to log in and out of 3 computers just to use my old programs or to see pictures or movies or files from the past.  ???  and i now have the apple tv and i have to turn on my macbook and log into the old computer to see certain old files and pictures or home movies????  there has to be an easier way???

  • How can I transfer files from an old Mac onto my new one?

    As outlined on this thread, I am trying to get data from my 1995 Performa 630 to my recently delivered MacBook Pro.  All suggestions gratefully received.
    Also, are ClarisWorks files instantly readable by modern office software, or do I need to save in RTF or some other format, first, on the older machine?

    Hi...
    Your new MacBookPro has Mac OS X Lion v10.7.x installed on an Intel processor and cannot open or read ClarisWorks files as such.
    However, you may be able to reformat to RTF >  AppleWorks: Document Recovery Techniques
    The issue is going to be migrating files since you can't use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

  • I've just updated my imac 21.5. how do i transfer files from my old imac to my new imac?

    Help!
    I've had an iMac 21.5 for approximately 3.5 years.
    I have Aperture 3 (with loads photos) and iTunes etc on my current iMac.
    I have just bought a new 21.5 iMac with all the latest upgrades etc.
    As of yet I have not even taken the new iMac out of the box.
    How do I:
    1. prepare the old iMac to get ready to transfer files
    2. actually transfer the files!
    Also!
    Once everything is transferred how do I make my iMac "safe" to sell? I don't want old personal data left on there for someone to have a good old snoop!
    My original iMac was not supplied with any operating discs etc. It was all set up and ready to go.
    Thanks.

    Regarding the old iMac.  Just delete your USER NAME from the Control Panel.  Go into System Preferences - then User/Groups and delete your account from there.
    Just a bit of advice though before you do all this, go and buy yourself a remote Hard Drive, they're really good value today and copy off all of your sacred files from your old computer onto the new drive.  You could also do the same via the Backup.app    
    It's well worth doing....    You can easily delay the switch over for a few days and you'll then have a backup disc that you'll start to use again and again.

  • How do I transfer music from my iPhone 4 to my new MacBook Pro

    I just got a new 15 inch MacBook Pro for my birthday, and I want to transfer my music from my iPhone 4 to my iTunes on my new MacBook Pro. I have already downloaded an app called diskaid and another one called tuneaid but neither of those worked. Is there a free and easy way to do this? Please help!
    Thanks,
    Becca

    He probably bought the music directly on his iPhone. If thats the case, just set up your account and phone on that computer then transfer your purchases over to that computer. If you bought from a separate computer, you'll need to transfer from that computer to the new one, like a brody said above.

  • How can I transfer files from a 27" iMac which will only boot in safe mode?

    My late 2009 27" imac is having issues and will only boot in safe mode. I have tried to transfer files to a new Imac using migration assistant but it wont let me. If I try booting the old Imac normally I just get a grey screen, I believe it is the video card failed and am waiting for a fix, but I would like to transfer files before the fix in case something goes wrong and I lose everything.
    Any help would be great

    Hello Myles, likely it is a Hardware problem.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • How do I transfer files from my current imac to the new one. My old imac is running 10.5.8

    Hello
    I got a new iMac 10.8.2 and also have a iMac 10.5.8 how can I conenct those 2 ?
    All I want is to use some of my files on my new one.I don't want to transfer ALL my files,just some,like pictures. But only the once I need. Not all of them.
    I have a FireWire cable,don't work, I have ethernet cable,don't work.
    So I must do something wrong If someone could maybe explaint it to me step by step that would be great,since I am not a big Mac (computer) freak.
    So basically I would like to use my old iMac as a external drive where I could get my files from and transfer them to my Mountain Lion, iMac.
    Also If someone knows,why Mountain Lion always loses internet conections,would be also a very big help! Thank you!
    But please, in simple step by step explaining. My english is not the best,my German is much better
    Thank you so much already for the help, I really appreciated!

    Oh, on the losing Internet, try this...
    Make a New Location, Using network locations in Mac OS X ...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2712
    10.7 & 10.8…
    System Preferences>Network, top of window>Locations>Edit Locations, little plus icon, give it a name.
    10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x instructions...
    System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
    The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
    Instead of joining your Network from the list, click the WiFi icon at the top, and click join other network. Fill in everything as needed.
    For 10.5/10.6, System Preferences>Network, unlock the lock if need be, highlight the Interface you use to connect to Internet, click on the advanced button, click on the DNS tab, click on the little plus icon, then add these numbers...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    PS. Your English is quite good & completely understandable.

  • How do I transfer files from a LaCIe backup drive onto new MacBoo Pro?

    I have an iMac and use a LaCie backup to, um, backup my files. I am confused over how to transfer my iTunes library from my backup into my MacBook Pro's iTunes library. Thanks.

    Ya, when I try to do that I get "error-10657" and the files aren't transferred. I wonder if I even backed up my iMac correctly? When I do backups, I plug in my firewire, go to time machine and hit "back up now" so I don't know why the files won't transfer.
    Does it have to do with the new firewire 800 on MacBook Pro as opposed to the firewire 400 on iMac? I bought the converter cable so I could do this transfer but for some reason it is not.
    Is there a step I am missing? Thanks again.

  • How can i transfer music from my iPod touch to my new macbook?

    I recently bought a laptop, and i can not transfer the music on my ipod touch onto it!?
    I also need to update my ipod, but if i do this i will lose what is on the ipod, and i have no back up because i cant get it onto my macbook!
    Is there any way to do this using icloud?
    Please help!!!

    -Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need to use a third-party program like of of those discussed here.
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After everthing is on the computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTune and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.  This will also update the iOS.
    If you update with having items like apps and music in the iTunes library, they will be deleted from the iPiod during the update. Se:

  • How do I transfer photos from my external HD to my new MacBook Pro?

    I can't find the photos in my HD but I used Time Machine so they have to be there somewhere... All I can find is under Users --> Pictures --> iPhoto Library, which I can't upload/import into my new iPhoto. (I used to use a regular MacBook and now I'm on a MacBook Pro, so it should be compatible...)

    If you used TM to backup your iPhoto library you must us TM to restore it to the pictures folder and launch iPhoto
    If you simply copied it to the EHD then just copy it back to the pictures folder and launch iPhoto
