How do i transfer all data from one mac to another?

When I started up my new iMac, there was an option to transfer all my data from my older mac (macbook air) to the new iMac. I skipped this step at first, how can I get back to this step and utilize this feature?   

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu and double-click the Migration Assistant. Note that if you move a home folder, it’ll create a new user account for it.

  • How do I transfer all info from one Mac to another?

    A few months ago I bought a new MacBook Pro, and want to use my old one as a backup. How do I transfer all the info on the new one to the old one? Got a firewire, if that helps.  OS 10.8.2 on both.

    You said:
    We all confuse with your question.
    You all confused? Well, I clear things up! Sorry... I be unclear...
    Recently my old MacBook crashed while I was in LA, and I bought a new one almost identical to us. I have to have a working Mac when I'm out of town making presentations. So...yeah, I guess I want to format the old one like a Time Machine disk...so that when the new one crashes or won't open up for some mysterious reason, I can go to the old one and use it. Both have the latest OS, and there's plenty of room on the old disk for the info. Any reason I could't do that? I'd prefer to do it as quickly as possible...not do individual documents, etc.

  • How do I transfer the data from one iPad to another

    How do I transfer all of the data from one ipad to another one?

    The best way IMO is to sync each iPad with your computer. Having all your stuff backed up on a computer is a good idea anyway. Just read how many folks here are trying to recover lost stuff that could easily be copied back from either backup or iTunes on the computer.
    Sync both iPads to the computer. Transfer all photos to the same computer. Then sync again selecting which items you want on each iPad.

  • How do I transfer personal data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer personal data (contacts etc) from one iPhone to another (3GS to 4)?

    You're gonna have to start over if you want to use the backup of your 3GS to restore to your iPhone 4. So, in iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices...delete any and all backups listed for your iPhone 4(there should only be one). Then, on your iPhone 4: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. That should take but a minute or so, then plug your phone in, iTunes running, name it what you want & restore it from your 3GS backup. Follow this by syncing your iTunes content back to your phone.

  • How to transfer app data from one mac to another without using syncing of the iphone?

    Right, recently I have tried to change which computer my Iphone syncs with so that my older mac can be sold or disposed of in some profitable form. I have successfully synced all of my music off of one mac onto another via home sharing at which point I connected my phone to my new computer which suggested that the phone needed a software update. Immediately after doing this I realised that my updated Iphone 3GS would no longer sync to my old computer and attempted to sync it just to confirm this- it failed and stated that the iphone could only sync with itunes 10.1 which is a higher spec than that mac can hold. I then feeling doubtful that things would work out tried to carry on as if this problem were absent but I later discovered that I could only transfer the apps that I had synced to my phone to my new mac and all unsynced apps appeared lost because as I stated previously I could not sync with my older mac which contains all of their data. I have consulted the online apple manual for the phone and all it states is the method of transferring purchases in itunes which I tried and is what lead to the copying of my synced apps on to my new mac. What I am asking is is their anyway that I can 'cheat' so to speak at app transfers. I know that somewhere on my old mac the files are stored with the information of the lost apps but I cannot locate them and would not know how to merge them into my newer itunes if I were to copy and paste them to a memory stick (assuming that this is the right method) Other than this is their any other way of downgrading the upgrades of an iphone or somehow tricking itunes into running a higher update than the computer spec? I've tried all I can and this is really annoying- please help!!!!!!

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... I'll have to look on my Mac at home to see exactly where they are, but you should just be able to copy all the apps from your old machine to thumb drive or over the network and put them in iTunes on the new one, then sync. Right click on one of the apps in your iTunes library and choose Show in Finder. That will point you to where they are.
    If you're asking how you can do this and maintain data contained 'within' the apps themselves (high scores, game progress, etc), I don't think there's any way you can do that.

  • How do I transfer app data from one iPad to another?

    Hello.
    I have an iPad 2 and am getting an iPad Air 2 (might get the Air 1 based on some of the issues I've seen in the forums!).  I have several apps with data (VPN info, system logins, ip addresses & games with levels reached, etc).  How do I transfer over the data inside the apps when I purchase my new iPad?  I know that all of my apps will follow my apple id, etc, but does the data?

    Like the other poster indicated, you can use the backup to do that. BUT do make sure you understand what will be backed up and won't be!

    Then open iMovie on your Mac (the Host). Go to File menu > Import Movies > navigate the the movie you want to import from the other Mac and click Import.

  • How do I transfer all data from my old internal hard drive to a new internal hard drive

    How do I transfer all data from my old internal hard drive to a new internal hard drive? I have an iMac with a 320gb internal HD that is full and I am replacing it with a 2tb internal drive. I have several external drives; 1 tb, 2tb and 3 tb. The 2 tb is being used for Time Machine. Do I have to buy an enclosure? If so, where would I get an inexpensive one?
    I also want to partition the new internal drive for Windows, and I'm not sure how much space to use for that. I plan to use Windows to check my work in PowerPoint created on my Mac for clients on PCs.

    Do you already have Time Machine making backups onto the 2TB drive? If so, after you get the internal drive replaced, boot up into the recovery partition (hold down ⌘R) and restore the latest Time Machine backup that you have onto the new internal drive.
    I recommend always having two backups. I'd use SuperDuper to make a complete clone of your internal drive onto an external drive in addition to having the Time Machine backup.
    Boot Camp is what is used to make partitions for Windows. How much space to allocate depends on how much space you expect Windows to use up based on how you plan to use it.

  • How do i transfer all data from 4s to 6 ?

    how do i transfer all data from 4s to 6 ?

    If you have a computer with the current version of iTunes you can connect your iPhone 4s to your computer via the USB charging cable.  You would then Sync / Backup your iPhone 4s to that computer via iTunes.  After a successful backup is created you can then connect your iPhone 6 via the charging cable to the computer and iTunes and Restore that Backup to the new iPhone.  You can always download any Apps you have purchased at no charge.  If you don't have a computer / iTunes you can backup your iPhone 4s via WiFi and the Cloud.  Then you can download that Backup to your New iPhone.  This may be more difficult due to memory constraints on your iPhone.

    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
    More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.
