How do i transfer all my information from old computer to this one with a external hard drive

how do i tranfer old info from my other computer to the new one with a external hard drive?

Copy what you want from the old computer's Home folder to the external drive. Connect the drive to the new computer and restore that data to the proper locations in the new computer's Home folder.

  • How do I take all my movies from the cloud and put them on an external hard drive

    I am using an Apple TV and have bought about 145 movies.
    The internet in my area is not very fast so I need to know how to put all of my movies on an external hard drive so i don't have to stream them through the internet.
    All I would have to do is put the external hard drive on my shared devices.

    Greetings austinfromdellslow,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to store your purchases movies on an external hard drive. To do this, first you will need to download your purchased content from the cloud to the iTunes library on your computer. 
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Once your media folder is complete with the downloaded content, you can move that iTunes media folder to your external hard drive using the information in the attached article below.

    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 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.

  • New computer, how do i get all the music from old computer into new itunes?

  • How can i transfer my iTunes library from old computer to new with all artwork and tags intact?

    Is it possible to just copy the iTunes folder on my Windows PC from the old computer to a hard drive and then to the new Mac Book, and have the library look the same?  Importing the files using the "add folder to library" function results in many files coming up with "unknown artist" and/or "unknown album."  But I didn't think just copying the iTunes folder from one computer to the other would work, without somehow also using the "add folder to library" function.
    I know there are other questions on site (one by me, actually), but I was hoping for any more information.  Many thanks, in advance.

    FYI, just in case anyone sees this and has the same problem, I posted another question beginning with the words "How can I get all music "tags" to transfer . . . " which outlines a solution.  Good luck to anyone with the same issue - the transfer can be done!

  • How do I remove all duplicate images from my IPad 4? They are clogging up hard drive

Avoid repetition of this situation.
