How do you transfer from mini to imac with fire wire if iMac has Lion and mini has snow leopard

My logic board has gone on my mini(intel) and I need to transfer this machine to an iMac(with Lion) how do I do this as it doesn't seem to be working with my disc.My update to Lion was purchased as a download and the only disc I have is snow leopard to reboot.

If your Mac mini has a dead logic board then you will not be able to boot it at all, not even in Target Disk Mode. You would either have to get the logic board repaired, or remove the hard disk and either put it in a disk enclosure or connect it in some other way to the iMac.
The fact that the two Macs ran different versions of OS X is irrelevant, once you have the drive connected to the iMac you can run the Migration utility to migrate the user account and data.

  • How do you transfer from an old ipad with 2 apple id (app free and purchased) to new ipad that is going to these same ids

    Basically, I have used two apple ID on my old ipad, ID 1 being primary, and ID 2 being secondary, but I've made purchases in both IDs (apps only no music)
    How, and when I moved to a new ipad, would I be able to restore both free+purchased apps on both apple IDs?
    Thanks

    I also use two Apple IDs.
    As far as getting your apps from both IDs, it's quite simple.  All that you need do is to sync the new iPad to the same iTunes that you had previously synced to the old iPad.  You'll need to load the backup only if you need the data from the game apps.  In that case, I can't confirm which is backed up (or if both are backed up) because I don't play games with a history that I care about.

  • How does one un-install Lion and revert to Snow Leopard?

    Anyone know how to un-install Lion and revert to Snow Leopard?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.

  • How do I uninstall OS Lion and revert to Snow Leopard

    Hi all, I need to use Microsoft Office Mac Version in my work. And OS X Lion don't support that. I am desparate to know how do I unistall the OS X Lion, and revert to Snow Leopard so that I can resume working on my MacBook Pro. Please help.....

    MS Office for mac 2004 is indeed incompatible I believe but 2008 onwards isn't. You should consider upgrading your MS Office to be compatible. Apple is not responsible for making 3rd party software compatible with its OS, its the 3rd party developers who updates their softwares and drivers.
    You can certainly revert back to Lion BUT it depends what type of machine do you have?Did you purchase Lion as an upgrade?is your machine Lion preinstalled?

  • How do you transfer registration to a new owner of an old iMAC G5

    How do you transfer registration to a new owner for an iMAC G5, 1.9 GHZ Power PC G5 with OSX Version 10.5.8.
    LKB

    You don't really need to, as long as the new owner knows the serial number, that's all s/he needs.  I do hope, by the way, that you have delivered the install discs along with the computer.

    Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
    Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
    How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
    You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
    If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
    The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
    Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

  • How do I add Mountain Lion and still keep Snow Leopard for use on specific software

    I currently am using OS 10.6.8 which supports Final Cut Studio version 7.5. I do not wish to change my Final Cut work, however I am now developing APPS and need the xcode tools which are only supported on OS 10.7 or higher. Can someone please direct me to any information on how I can set up my Macbook Pro to run both OS systems?

    No, you buy & install Mountain Lion on a new partition, leaving the original alone. You will need to reboot from one to the other to use either version of the OS.
    As you can see from this I still have Lion on my internal while I'm running Mountain Lion on an external drive - this may also be an option for you?
