How do I move Windows XP from an older Mac to a newer Mac

I have Windows XP installed on a Bootcamp partition on an older MacBook. I just purchased a new Alum-MacBook and want to move the Windows XP I own to the new computer. How do I do this?
Do you deactivate on the older computer before you install on the new computer? If so, how do you do this?

Just install the way you installed it the first time, pretty strait forward.
You don't deactivate the old one, if you want to you can simply delete it, but I run a OEM xp on the compaq it was loaded on and my new macbook. If it gives you problems, phone microsoft and they give you one of those activation bypass keys.
If you want your old files, either run the files and settings transfer program in windows, or connect them via network before you delete your old windows partition to transfer any files you want to keep.

How do I move my music from an older macbook to the new iPhone 4s?

My macbook is old (OS X 10.4.11), so I can't update iTunes to a newer version. All the tutorials on syncing deal with newer OSs. I have TONS of music on my macBook, and I want to be able to use it on my new phone, but nothing happens when I plug it in to my laptop.
I know most people don't keep technology as long as I do, but my laptop works great. I don't need a new one, and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars trying to update to a new OS.
Any savvy techs out there who know of a loop hole of how to get the music files to the iPhone?
Thanks!

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your devices sync with a photos folder you will need to copy this over and update the settings on the photo tab to point to the new location.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400. The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

How can I move my photos from Photoshop Elements 8 to a new computer also running Elements 8?

I am not sure this is going to work. For one thing, the preferences file is in a different place in Mountain Lion. It is at: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.pli st. I wouldn't try to move the .plist file, I'd be very surprised if it would work.
I would do a different approach and start with just recreating the mail account(s) you have on the new machine from scratch and let them download your mail from the server. Then if there were e-mails not on the server any more, but stored in the black macbook, I'd copy them from the mailboxes folder, from the old machine to the new. I'm not sure where they are in 10.5.8, but in ML they are at ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes.
At each stage along the way I'd do a backup, so in case it screws things up, you can revert to a functional Mail.app.

Welcome to the Apple community.
All you need to do is enable contacts in system preferences > iCloud on your Mac. Once you do this a sync will commence and your contacts application will be populated with your contacts from iCloud.

How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2?

How do I get GarageBand files from an older mac onto my iPad 2? I can open the GarageBand Documents folder through iTunes while the iPad is sync'd but I can't seem to "add..." any of my old .band folders to the iPad to be able to view those music projects. When I tried I could only sync individual data files contained in the .band folders over to the iPad and there was no way to organize them into .band project folders. What can I do here to get these GarageBand projects onto my iPad for further use?

This is not currently possible. You can transfer an iPad project to the Mac, and transfer songs/loops from the Mac to iPad, but not GB files from Mac to iPad.

How do I move my ichat from my old computer to my macbook pro?

Hi,
I have come back to review this as the title included reference to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5224
From AIM you may also see this:-
The basic premise seems to be that AIM are no longer going to support (accept) the three types of Apple Issued IDs and leave @icloud.com ones as the only ones.
The Messages appearing in Mavericks seems ot override the implication in the article that moving to a later version of Lion (later iChat 6) and higher will be one resolution.
The article finishes with suggesting Maverick OR changing to an AIM Name - apparently missing that you need either an AIM name for older iChats if you ar not going to Upgrade OR needing an AIM or @icloud.com ID if using you are upgrading.
Solution.
Create a new Buddy list. (whilst keeping the old one active). It does not matter if you are upgraded or Not at this point.
Make the Screen Name an AIM registered one if you are going to be still using iChat 5 or lower or an early version of iChat 6 in Lion.
Now highlight every single Buddy in your old Buddy list (Display Off LIne Buddies as well).
Click the the top one and hold Shift whilst clicking the bottom one.
Click and Drag to new Buddy List.

HT1766 How to restore iCloud Back Up from an Older iPhone Model to New

I lost my iPhone recently. I purchased the latest version (my previous version was older model), and attempted to restore an icloud back up that had all my photos / music, but it won't let me. Keeps telling me my account has been locked, and to reset password, but I've already done all that / verified applied ID, etc. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I need to get my photos / music off of iCloud. I also pay for storage so I'm not sure why it's holding my stuff hostage.

Restoring from an older iOS to a newer iOS version is fine. It's going the other way that would be a problem.
You do need a late version of iTunes on your computer to be able to work with the new iPhone. The current iTunes version is 11.1.3. If your iTunes is old, download the latest from
