How can you transfer "my settings" for track instruments from one computer to another?

I am trying to transfer garage band recordings from laptop to desktop - the real instrument tracks have been adjusted manually and save as "my settings". How to I transfer those settings from my laptop to my desktop. The recordings show up but not with the settings.

Your personnal software Instruments are stored in the Instruments Library in your User Library.
For example, I have custom Choir settings stored in in a file:
~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Track Settings/Software/Synth Textures/riffyrifftest.cst
Copy the instruments in ~/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Track Settings
to the corresponding folders on your desktop computer and install them there,

How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

How can I transfer my iTunes library and playlists from one computer to another?

Copy the iTunes folder (Mac: Home\Music or PC: My Music) to the same location on the new computer. If an iTunes folder already exists on the new computer (it will on a Mac) replace it with one you copied.

How can I transfer the metadata templates and keywords from one computer to another? Working on a new iMac CS6?

I've just changed computers and upgraded to CS6. I am trying to import my Bridge metadata templates and keywords. I had done this once before but I can not remember the procedure for doing this. I have created a lot of templates and do not want to do this all over again. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Kevin

komphoto,
The keywords file is buried deep inside the INVISIBLE user Library, or "~Library" (that's a tilde before the word Library, which designates the User Library, a.k.a, the Home Folder Library).
In order to make it visible temporarily, you have to go to the Finder, then go to the "Go" menu and select the "Go To Folder…" menu item, and type ~Library in the text field.
That will open a new Finder window which will be grayed out to indicate that it's normally hidden. From there you can follow the path:
Note that I'm not saying this will work. I have never done it myself. I'm just trying to clear up the confusion caused by the previous poster.

How do you transfer Several files and numerous photos from one Mac to another.

I have a Mac Book Pro (late 2011) and a Mac Air (2013). I know I can airdrop but I would be doing that for days - is there any way to transfer file from one computer to another.

If you want to transfer a large amount of files, the best way would be to use an external drive. If you do not have one, consider the option of using Target Disk mode, so you just have to get a Thunderbolt cable; this is the fastest option.
To use Target Disk mode, connect the Thunderbolt to the MacBook Air and the MacBook Pro. Then, start up your MacBook Pro and hold the T key while it is starting up until you see the Thunderbolt icon in the display. Now, go to the MacBook Air, open a Finder window and you will see the MacBook Pro hard drive in the sidebar, so access to them and transfer the files you want to.

How can I transfer entire contents of Mail mailbox from one Mac to another?

I've long wondered how to do this:
I have two Macs - an iMac and a MacBook Pro.
I have categorized several hundred emails on the MacBook into a separate "mailbox" by itself. Let's just call it "Project XYZ emails" for the sake of discussion.
I need to transfer ALL of those emails +en masse+, hopefully still categorized together into a separate "Project XYZ emails" mailbox file, from the MacBook to the iMac. How is this done?
In the old days, when I used to use Eudora, this was quite simple -- one could physically locate the separate desired "mailbox" file in the Finder and just copy it from one hard drive to the other, and then place the mailbox into the appropriate place of Eudora's file structure on the second computer. Relaunch Eudora and voila, the new mailbox is there for viewing, etc.
But in Mail, I can't find any tangible "file" on my hard drive that represents a "mailbox" in the Mail program. And that includes control-clicking the application file itself and choosing "Show Package Contents." When I do that, I can see, after burrowing into the folders, a single large file called "Mail" which I think contains ALL mailboxes lumped together. But I can't see a way to separate them for individual manipulation.
Any suggestions or ideas on how to copy entire mailboxes in Mail from one Mac to another?

Thanks! Seems to have worked.
Once I imported tham, I had to fiddle around renaming mailboxes and "moving" the emails to the desired locations, but that only took a minute. So overall, seems like that's the solution! I only wish that the steps to do this were made clearer by Apple in the Mail "help" menu -- where I couldn't find any mention of how to do this.
A happy ending, in any event.
In case anyone reads this in the future, let me add in the missing steps, to make it perfectly clear:
In Mail, choose 'archive mailbox' from the mailbox menu.
+Copy the newly created archived mailbox file, which will probably be a file with the suffix ".mbox," from the original machine to the second machine.+
On the second machine: In Mail choose 'import mailbox' from the file menu.
+The emails will now appear in a new mailbox in Mail listed under the name "imported" or "import." If desired, either rename the mailbox, or create a new mailbox with the correct name, and "move" all the emails into it.+
Done!

How can i transfer my installation of Apple Configurator from one Mac to another?

I work at a secondary school in the UK. We currently have 20ish ipads, all configured and supervised through Apple configurator. As the mac we were using is rather old, we bought a new one, and I need to transfer all the apple configurator date from the old one to the new one.
I tried using the information from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5194?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
I don't want to do a full restore from the old to the new as the old one has so much extra stuff on its HDD that isn't necessary any more. I only want to transfer the configurator data across so that I can plug our ipads into the new mac and they will work as before.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

The Apple Document covers this. See the footnotes of my google docs
I've done this, it is easy, but takes time and patience.
On the existing mac with OSX and Configurator:
========================================
- run disk utility and verify your disks are ok, a must
- make note of the user logged in when using configurator such as "bob"
- connect a new or newly reformatted USB formatted for Apple
- run time machine and backup to the USB
- Take the mac off the network,
- Buy a new mac
- setup the mac with a new logon account like Paul or "bob2" do not use BOB !!
- finish the new purchase setup, get to your desktop
- now run the migraiton assistant moving bob from the USB to the new mac
- reboot, logon as bob, launch configurator and connect just one ipad. Test

HT1178 How can I use Time Capsule to move music from one computer to another?

I want to move all the music I have on my old laptop (macbook) to my new macbook pro. How can I do this? Easy, simple, steps would be greatly appreciated!

Are you moving the itunes library?? That is entirely different to moving just music.
Apple have specific instructions for moving libraries..
And there is no need to use the TC.. other than as a switch and router.. share the folder in one Mac to copy to.

How can I transfer/copy my entire iPhoto library from one iMac to another iMac whilst keeping all the folders and subfolders intact?

We recently purchased a new iMac for our office (8 GB memory, 2.7 processor, version 10.9.2) and we need to copy the iPhoto library from our other iMac (version 10.9.4) onto the new one. The photos are essential for our work and there are around 53,000 of them all organised into folders and subfolders and then the photos are manually ordered within the albums.
We have tried connecting the computers but when we tried to access the iPhoto library on the new iMac it says that iPhoto is locked and we do not have permission to view it. We updated iPhoto on the old iMac as we thought that might be the problem but the message still appears. We've been advised to use an external hard drive but we're worried that will corrupt the organisation of the library. We have also been told not to do it over AirDrop / the Server because of the sheer quantity of photos.
Any advice on how to safely do this would be much appreciated.

No idea exactly what you did
if you followed the instructions
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
then you have exactly the same thin on your new system that you had on the old
If you do something differently - like import the library instead of simply opening it - then it will not work
did you dimply drag the iPhoto library from the pictures folder of the old machine to the pictures folder of the new machine and then launch iPhoto on the new machine?
and to help it is important to use word correctly since that is the only communications method we have - in iPhoto folders do not contain photos - you view photos in events and you can organize them using albums (which view photos) and folders (which hold either albums or other folders - folders never have photos in them) so your description of the problem is not at all clear since it uses folders incorretly

How can I copy develop settings on multiple images from one folder to another?

I have a bunch of Fuji X-T1 raw images that I have converted to DNG form. Once Lightroom supports X-T1 raw images directly, I would like to replace the DNG files by the corresponding raw files (which I have saved) without having to redo all of my edits.
I've tried an experiment with a NEF file, which Lightroom supports: If I convert it to a DNG file, import the DNG file, then replace the DNG file with the corresponding NEF file, Lightroom still thinks the file is named DNG. This behavior makes me nervous.
So what I would like to do is to import all of the Fuji raw files, then transfer the develop settings from each DNG file to the corresponding raw file, then finally archive and delete the DNG files.
Is there any way to do this other than by hand? That is, if I have a folder with a few hundred DNG files, is there any way to tell Lightroom to take the develop settings of every file in the folder and transfer them to the correspondingly named file in the folder of raw files?
If not, can someone suggest to me a way of accomplishing this that does not involve copying and pasting the data for every image by hand?

How can you change all of the control codes from one number to another?

I'm trying to use CC11 for Dynamic Expression Control, rather than just runing the volume CC7 all the time. My problem is that I would like to do a large select of say all CC codes that are 7 and move them to be 11 rather than do it one event at a time. Is there a technique for this?

The Samplecontruct's recommendation is right and probably conformable if you want to process one or a few midi region(s) containing CC7.
In addition, if have multiple midi regions on a track and want to process in one step then the Transform window is recommended. I.e you select that track (which will select all regions), open the Transform and create the custom template I show in the pic below). Hit the "Select and Operate" (4) button which will select the matching contend (CC7) internally of the track selected regions and operate in one step. This saves time if you must select 50-60 regions and change their CC# using the Event list technique for instance.

How can I transfer the rights of a book from one account to another?

I have two books on an older Adobe account that I don't use anymore. Now that I have a new account with a different e-mail address, is there anyway to get those 2 books on the new account without buying them again? I can verify that both accounts are mine.

Not officially. It would have been best just to keep the old account and not set up a new one.
Unofficially;
deauthorize ADE (crtl-shift-D, or cmd-shift.D on Mac),
reauthorize with your old ID
run epubee to strip the DRM on the books registered with the old ID
deauthorize ADE (crtl-shift-D, or cmd-shift.D on Mac),
reauthorize with your new ID

How can I change my primary account on iTunes from one computer to another computer?

I opened an iTunes account years ago when I had a Dell, and after the Dell crashed, I got a new Macbook and authorized the mac to play all my iTunes music and whatnot that I had bought on the Dell. I don't want this computer to just be "authorized", however. I would like to know how to set this mac as the primary computer so that I can then authorize 5 additional computers to play my music. Does anyone know how to do this or have a phone number for Apple to get in touch with someone who can do it for me? Thanks very much!

Open iTunes on your Mac, click "iTunes Store" on the upper right, then click "Account" on the middle right. Sign in there. That will make the signed in account the "primary".

How can I transfer some of my iTunes songs from my computer to my husband's iPhone who has a different apple ID.

How can I transfer some of my Itunes songs from my computer to my husband's iphone? He has a different apple ID and every time I do this, my IMac says it will erase and sync. I've checked the manual manage box but no luck.

What does the iPhone have to do with anything?
Don't plug yoru iPhone into his computer.
Do I need my iPhone to do it or can I do it from iMac to iMac? Thanks for any help.
So you have two different computers?
Just enable Home Sharing and he can copy the songs from you iTunes to his then he can sync his iPhone to his iTunes.

What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

Hi All,
I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
Thanks in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.
