How do I link the backup history from old mac to new? I cannot seem to do this through migration assistance.

I want to transfer the backup history associated with my old mac (which is on my airport time capsule) to my new mac. I used migration assistance to transfer everything from my old mac to new, but the backup history did not link. I tried using migration assistance again but it does not seem to allow me to link my backup history to the new mac. I am running out of ideas and please help.

  • How do I move Adobe light room from old mac to new mac?

    Can i load Adobe Lightroom to my new macbook from my old imac?

    yes.
    Where are your photos? on the computer or a separate drive?
    2 options
    Preparation - do you keep all your presets with the catalog or not? If not, you will need to copy them from the old computer to the new one
    assuming  you are using time machine to move  everything from one to another, then use time machine and copy everything QED
    assuming you are doing a new install.
    copy your lightroom catalog to a separate hard drive / flash drive ensuring that you've made a backup 1st
    install LR4.#fail on your new computer
    copy your catalog from 1. to your new computer and
    click click the catalog on your new computer.
    That should do the trick

  • How can I import address book info from old mac to new one?

    Just got a macbook, and migrated all the info as per instructions. Now I need to get all the info from my old address book to the new one. Spent about 6 hours today trying to figure this out, and an hour of that was spent on the phone with a friendly but clueless customer service rep. Managed to get all the vcards transferred, but no group info. Since this is for my business, I need to get this taken care of ASAP--- help, anyone? Thanks!!!

    Exporting vCards from Address Book partially preserves group information - it puts it in the notes field as Categories, which is not very useful. I suggest you export one group at a time. I don't think you can import directly into a group, so create a group, import the cards for that group, then select all the cards in the "Last Import" pseudo-group and drag them to the appropriate group.
    If some of your contacts are in multiple groups the duplicates will be spotted on import. Unless you have hundreds of groups it should not be to much of a pain. Otherwise look at Gwenhiver.net - Applications - Address Book Exporter - it may preserve groups on re-import (but I don't know).

  • How can I delete the Threat History from VZ Protect on my Samsung S4

    How can I delete the Threat History from VZ Protect on my Samsung S4

    Remove Verizon Protect or disable it if you cannot remove it and install a reputable anti virus / anti malware application from Google Play.  I would use something along the lines of Lookout Mobile Security or AVG mobile, or Avast to name a few of them.  There are others that work very well and use very little system resources to do it.  I have used all of these and Lookout seems to work the best for me.
    Verizon Protect gives a lot of false positives on things

  • In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!

    In my icloud account on my iphone I have three ios devices. How do I manage the backup of my old phone ? I dont want to detete that backup completetly, just manage that phone back up ? Please help!

    It will be backed up on your computer and can later be restored to an iOS device using iTunes, if desired.  Of course, if your hard drive crashes you'll lose it if it isn't backed up somewhere else.  If you want to included it in your computer backup, it will be located at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • Received new mac how do you get all your information from old mac?

    Received a new mac for my daughter.  How do you get all the information from old mac?

    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant when your shiny new Mac first starts up (not Migration Assistant later).

  • How can I get music from old mac to new mac?

    How can I get music from old mac to new mac please?
    Can't seem to make Migration Assistant work. Doesn't ask about or transfer files.

    I just migrated into a new MBP from an old one.
    It did not bring the music over.  Apple's instructions are to use the Home Sharing feature of iTunes.
    Open iTunes on your old Mac.  Select Home Sharing under the Advanced menu.  Sign in.  Do the same on your new computer.  Then when the library appears under Home Sharing on the left-hand panel on your new computer's iTunes, you can select all and Add To Library.
    That's what Apple says, anyway.

  • How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop

    How do I transfer Photoshop Elements 10 from old computer to new laptop?

    You need to installed it in the same way as you did on old machine.
    If you like to save one instance of the license then please do de-activate while uninstalling.
    Or if you have already used your "Two" instances of installation then you must need to de-activate one of the machine while
    uninstalling so it will release the instance for new installation.

  • Just moved CS4 Web from old mac to new using time machine. Apps won't launch. Help?

    Just moved CS4 Web from old mac to new using time machine. I get an error when I try to launch a program on the new computer (150:30). After contacting live chat about the issue and providing all serial numbers etc. I was directed to a download. The download was a .dmg file that my computer did not recognize. It was suggested that I ask the experts on the forum how to resolve the issue. I have all the discs and serial numbers but the new macbook pro doesn't take discs (I guess they think all apps are downloadable now). Any ideas?

    Hmm... I don't know why they sent you here... CS4 is not part of the Cloud
    I have some download links for earlier versions of Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements, but not CS4 Web
    My best idea is to take a LARGE USB memory stick to a friend with a DVD drive and copy your DVD over to the USB memory stick
    Or, ask in the forum for your program(s) to find out if anyone has CS4 download links
