How do I transfer Airport Capsule to my new MacBook Pro?

Just downloaded all from old MacBrook, how do I transfer to new MacBook?

If you are saying that you used Time Machine to back up the old MacBook, and you now want to transfer that backup data to the new MacBook........Setup Assistant will ask if you want to transfer the data from an old Mac when you first start up the new MacBook. Follow the prompts.
If you have already started up the new MacBook and passed on the Setup Assistant option, then you can use Migration Assistant to perform the same task. The application is located as follows on your Mac:
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant
Click Continue and follow the prompts

  • How do I transfer my data to my new macbook pro using an external hard drive?

    I've already set up my new MacBook Pro is my issue. It asked me if I'd like to "Migrate" my stuff or use an external hard drive etc but at the time I didn't transfer my data from my old MacBook yet. I was going to manually do it later as I had to wait for my External hard drive to back my old Mac up. Now it's that time and I have no idea how to do it. I believe I've researched best of my ability.
    I feel like I'm asking a pretty dumb question. If I were to just drag all my programs out like my Adobe Suite on to my new macbook pro would that work? I feel like that's just too easy and incorrect. Please and thank you.

    The Adobe suite can be downloaded free, you dont have to copy it at all, under standard CS6 Adobe rules, if you own the suite, you get 2 computers "activated at any one time"  Make sure, if youre not using the older computer, you deactivate the software under the HELP menu in Adobe.
    format the new drive in disk utility ......APPLICATIONS.....UTILITIES.....DISK UTILITIES.......select the external drive and format (if its new and empty!!!) under the ERASE button with Mac OSX extended journaled
    copy all your important stuff from older computer , pics, files, documents, personal anything.
    most of you apps, i ASSUME you bought in the (other than Adobe software, or Office suite, etc etc,..... obviously) in the MAC APP store, so you can reload them on the new computer without copying them , makes things very easy......just open APP STORE, and download what you already bought.
    really the only important things , is copy all important work files, documents, pictures, personal ABC...XYZ......  obviously.
    the migration is about emails, contacts, etc etc etc, also data, just because you passed it by at the time doesnt mean you still cant do it,    go to the SEARCH at menu at top and type in MIGRATION ASSISTANT  to do it again , since you passed it by at first .
    the only thing you NEED / SHOULD copy is all your personal stuff........Applications need to be reinstall from either ONLINE download,.......or from the MAC APP STORE,........  you cant just copy the apps over (in most cases) and toss them onto the new computer
    Nahh, there are no dumb questions, just dumb mistakes because you DIDNT ask any questions, and we all make those here and there. 

  • How to use my time capsule on my new macbook pro retina (time machine error)

    Hello all,
    I've been using my old mac for a while with my time capsule, but recently I bought the new macbook pro retina and I wanted to use the time capsule as the backup disk on the new one. However, whenever I try to run the backup, a message appears "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXX’s MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use."
    I wanted to override the settings so that the new macbook will use the time capsule for its backup disk instead of the old one, as I will no longer be using it.
    I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and if anyone know how I can solve it?
    Thank you

    You could delete the old backup from your old laptop? If you need to keep it then you need to rename that folder so that your new macbook can creatie its own file in the same name.
    Regards,
    Ryan

  • How do i transfer files from pc to new macbook pro running yosemite

    I want to transfer documents, pictures and iTunes library from Dell pc running Windows Vista to new MacBook pro running Yosemite.

    Use the Migration Assistant, or move the files manually through file sharing or an external drive. If you've already set the MacBook Pro up and use the Migration Assistant, the files will be put into a different user account.

  • How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    How do I transfer a music file from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone?

    If you download Adode Reader (free but very limited) or GoodReader (many features) - you can use file sharing.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac and launch iTunes. Select the iPad on the left side under Devices. Click on the Apps tab in the iTunes window on the right. Scroll down to the File sharing apps window. Click on the file sharing app that you are using (Adobe Reader or GoodReader in this example). Drag the document from the desktop onto the file sharing window on the right side - or click on the add button in the lower right corner - and navigate to where the file is on the Mac and select it that way.

  • How do I download Windows 7 into my new MacBook Pro

    How do I install windows 7 to my new MacBook Pro?

    I won't speak to how to obtain Windows 7, which you'll need to purchase or you must have a Key that you've purchased or own. 
    You have two choices to use Windows 7.  First, are the virtual Windows emulator, using Parallels or Fusion (I think those are the only 2 but there might be others).  I never liked them much (nor do I like Windows, but sometimes you've got to use them).  They are slow and memory hogs, so you need a ton of memory to use them (8GB good, 16GB better).  But you can use Windows and easily move over to OSX because Windows is in an OSX window.  Easy. 
    We're not going to tell you how to install Windows 7 with those emulators, there are forums for them at the company website.  It's not easy, but it's not terribly difficult.
    VMware Fusion: Run Windows on Mac for Desktop Virtualization
    Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac
    Your other choice, which is better and free, is Boot Camp.  Boot Camp runs Windows natively, no emulator.  But, you don't have access to Mac OSX unless you log out of Boot Camp.  Again, this isn't the place to learn about it, go to the Boot Camp forum for more details.

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

  • Which files do I transfer from external drive to new MacBook Pro?

    Hi there,
    My hard drive went bad on my MacBook Pro, but fortunately I did a weekly backup.
    Unfortunately, it was not a Cloned back up or a Time Machine backup, so I can't seem to be able to use the Migration Assistant to transfer my files to my new MacBook Pro.
    Is there a list of files that I should make sure to copy over?
    I know that I need to copy my apps that aren't already native to Mavericks.  Also, most of the files in my User Folder.  Is it wise to copy the entire library in the User Folder, or should I select individual files and folders?  Is there anything else I should look for?
    If there is a step by step tutorial on this, and I have somehow missed it, please point me on my way. 
    Thanks for any help.

    Is it a bad idea to copy things to the library (the one that is located at  macintosh hd/library)?
    One thing is for sure...I'll be switching to Time Machine or CCC...this is taking a looooong time. 
    So, any ideas out there?
    It is too late, but either a bootable clone (I use SuperDuper!) or a Time Machine backup would have made the transition smooth.
    I do not know of any "cookbook" approach to help you.
    I think I would have reinstalled OS X 10.9.4 and then moved all my data files. I do not know what settings, files, etc. would need to be moved.

  • How do I transfer CS5.5 from an old macbook pro to a new one via firewire?

    My old MacBook Pro fried its graphics card and I need to transfer all of my data across to my new macBook Pro. I have everything backed up on a hard drive but when I try to open it it says that i can't because t is on a Time Machine Back-up. How do I get it to open? Do i need to get a new serial number? Not sure what to do from here.

    You need to reinstall on your new MacBook Pro from your original media (if you purchased a DVD), or from the backup you made of the installation files.
    You cannot successfully migrate CS5.5 using FireWire. That would not be successful. You can use the same serial number you had before. However, if you used all your two activations, you may have to Adobe to remove its listing of your old Mac so you don't lose one activation.

    All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

    mhdmd53 -
    usb to usb does not work nor does the tornado device - that is - so far - just pc to pc.

    FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?
