How do I transfer my music from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

I'm wondering how I can transfer my music, etc from my iPhone to my new Macbook Pro?

The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The syncis one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

Sync your new iPad with the same computer that you synced your old one with.

How do I migrate my albums from old mac to my new macbook?

How do I migrate my albums from old mac to my new macbook? The photos are already migrated, but I've lost all the old groupings in the albums and I don't want to manually re-group the thousands of photos!!!

I was using version 6.0.6 of iPhoto.
My issue is that I already have sorted the photos into Albums - about 50 of them. And now on my new computer I can't see any of the albums I had sorted them into, and I don't want to have to recreate all those Albums! That was one of the primary reasons I stuck with Apple when I upgraded. Had I known it wouldn't bring the albums over, I probably wouldn't have bought another apple.
Is there any way to get all the work I've already done in organising my photos onto my new computer? Thanks for your help.

Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
Hope it all works out for you.

How can I transfer my itunes from my iPhone to my new computer without deleting my songs off of my iPhone?

I have a new computer with new songs I have purchased. But my iPhone has almost 2,000 songs on it and I have deleted it once before by trying to transfer my songs to a new computer before. Now I am a little bit scared to even try, so... How can I transfer my songs off my iPhone onto my new computer? Thank you!

If these are songs you have purchased with iTunes, then you start up iTunes, log in with your Apple ID, connect the phone and transfer purchases. If this is not purchased music, iTunes is not set up to work that way. Sync of music is only one way, from iTunes to Phone. That is what the backup of your computer is for.
If by some chance you did not backup your comptuer, then you would need to look into 3rd party software. See this user hint about handling that. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

The vast majority of my iPod music was not purchased from iTunes. How can I transfer the music from my iPod to my new MacBook?

Most of my music on my iPod was not from iTunes and I need to transfer it to my new MacBook Pro. Anyone know how, preferably without spending money?

File transfer from old G4 iBook to new MacBook Pro

I hope this is the right place for this post/question....
I am trying to do a file migration from my old iBook G4 PPC to my new MacBook Pro. The iBook does not have the migration utility and when I put the new OSX DVD in from my MacBook (as instructed to do in the Migration utility's steps) it does not read it (presumably because it is not the right processor, etc) so I had no luck doing the computer to computer transfer. I do not have the "Time Machine" utility on the old computer and using my regular back-up did not allow me to migrate using the "other drive" option (MacBook never saw the drive in the utility, but does mount it and allow me to access it as a drive). I can do this the hard way, file by file, but I have a couple of concerns that I want to check on before I spend hours going down a bad path.
1) I have thousands of songs in my iTunes... can I drag and drop these? What about my play lists?
2) iPhoto - I have thousands of photos - how do I easily transfer those over in their respective scrapbooks?
3) Bookmarks, I can deal with by trying to find the file and importing them, or doing it manually, although there are a lot of them. Easier way?
4) Outlook - I can try to export and import using the built in features, but not sure if that will pull all the folders and structure.
Those are the big ones... I have had this computer for 8 years, so it is pretty embedded in my life and I am hoping for a utility or something that will help this process.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The migration utility in the newer computer's OS X would usually allow
the older Mac's info to be pulled into the new computer; the installer
disc for the new Mac won't do anything for the old PPC Mac since it
would be unreadable. Intel-based Mac machine-specific discs won't
work in PPC-based Macs; and in general different machines can't
or won't use the install-restore discs from other models.
There may have been a way via ethernet, usb or firewire to share files
using a System Preference panel setting to facilitate this action. The
suggested method should be adequate. You can also put an iTunes
library and iPhoto library on a suitable external drive to par-down the
content and reduce clutter in a portable computer's hard disk drive
and still be able to access those carefully moved libraries from there.
Some good support documents in Apple Support tell how to do this.
In Firefox, you will have to rename the old folder of bookmarks to the
same name as the existing new apps folder for them to be seen. I
just replaced folders, carefully, so if that didn't work the first time, the
items were easy to find and try again later. Once you get the folder,
the contents should appear in the new browser version as they had
in the older one, to some extent, after the file or contents are moved.
Good luck & happy computing!

How do I transfer my library from my iPhone to my new Macbook Air?

How do I transfer my photos from my iPhone or IPad to my new Macbook Air? I last synced to my old Macbook Pro, and have since had a major issue with the library on that computer. The library on my iPhone and iPad are good and would like to import those to my iPhoto on my Macbook Air and just start from there. Any suggestions? Thank you!!! Craig

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 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 transfer files an external hard drive to a new macbook pro

how do i transfer files from an external hard drive to a new macbook pro?

thank you. i did that with my old computer, and it saved it as a whole other computer on my new macbook. now if i do the same for the external hard drive, i guess it will save it as another separate computer on the new one. so i guess what i should have asked is, is there any way to copy my whole old computer and external, but have the files integrated into the new mac, so i don't have to log in and out of 3 computers just to use my old programs or to see pictures or movies or files from the past. ??? and i now have the apple tv and i have to turn on my macbook and log into the old computer to see certain old files and pictures or home movies???? there has to be an easier way???
