How to move iPad from old XP to new Windows 8?

I get how to move the music. I get how to transfer the store purchases. My fear is that I will somehow lose my Contacts and Calendar information, and my game progress. Luckily, my old XP is still working. I have an external drive. I've downloaded and installed the current iTunes to both the XP and Win 8 machines. I've created an encrypted backup of the iPad 2 (iOS 6.1.3) on the old XP. I know where that backup lives within the Application Data. I know where the iTunes Folder lives within the My Music section of My Documents. I see that it's arranged differently within the file structure ("Music" vs "Media") as compared to the Win 8 machine. I'm not using Outlook to sync Contacts or Calendars on either machine. I'm not averse to using iCloud, but again, afraid of losing Contacts. Hours of fruitless searching and contradictory and outdated advice have lead me to write to you all. If anyone can provide clear, concise, step by step instructions on how to sync my iPad 2 with my new computer so that I can get back to playing Candy Crush without losing my Contacts, I would greatly appreciate it!!!

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

    how to move photoshop from old mac book air to new mac book pro retina display (no disc drive)?

    It can be possible to use the Migration Assistant, but you must take into account that any recent Photoshop requires activation with a server account, like Apple iTunes does for purchases. To avoid potential problems, you want to make sure that you deactivate any software (like iTunes or Photoshop) that you have installed from any company that requires activation, and then reactivate them after you migrate. Otherwise it is possible that any software you activated might stop working if it notices that the underlying hardware has changed.
    Also, you only get 2 activations of Photoshop and 5 of iTunes, so you don't want to lose any because you forgot to deactivate before getting rid of the old Mac.
    Migration Assitant is not perfect, so the most reliable way to migrate is to deactivate Photoshop before migrating and then run a clean installation of it after migration using your original media and serial number.

  • How to move app from old mac to new

    I just got myself new mac,but thinking how easy i can move my applications only without redownloading and installing from diffrent places i got them..also it will take me alot of time...anyway to move those apps with there registration key from the old mac?
    I wish to move only the apps and the setting i have made to them before....

    When you set up the new Mac, it will offer the opportunity to migrate all your old data from the other one.
    Lots of people skip that step, but you can run it any time. Find the program called "Migration Assistant".
    It is in the Utilities folder and contains instructions on how to connect the two. All your registration keys etc. will be copied.
    Beware that Power PC apps will not run with Lion. This is important. If you don't know the implications of that then write back.
    Migration Assistant might take a while to complete - several hours is not unusual.

    Hi Dirrek, welcome to Discussions!
    See this KB article about Target Disk Mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8443.html
    Although if it was me, I'd rather reinstall them from on my new Mac.
    Depends on which software it is: for example some old versions are not supported anymore on Snow Leopard.

  • How To Move Mail From Old Drive To New Drive

    Hi All
    My situation was I have an iMac 27inch 2010 running Mavericks and added another HD with a SSD drive and needed to get my Mail messages into the new Mail app on the SSD drive.
    I downloaded a freeware called "Invisiblix" which finds hidden files then went to old hard drive   - Users - Username - Library  (was hidden for me) - Mail - and copy Mail folder to new Mail folder on the new drive (SSD) make sure Mail is closed. Follow same procedure to get to new mail on new drive.
    Worked perfectly for me.

    The way I usually do it is to create an Address Book backup database file (sorry; on a PC at the moment, not sure of the exact wording) on the "old" computer, then copy that file to the new one. Then, from on the new computer, open Address Book and choose to import or restore from a database file (again, sorry for not having the exact wording). When it prompts you to replace your existing data (of which there should be very little if anything), choose yes.
    This assumes that by "address book" you're referring to Apple's built-in Address Book, not, for example, Microsoft WhateverTheEquivalentApplicationWouldBe 1.0. .

    Some people have experience issues migrating from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I did not. But if you are getting a brand new MBP, it will have Lion on it, so that's a different story. Ideally, I would migrate my home/user folder and settings, but not my apps, then install Lion-ready apps from original discs.

    How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

    If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109).  If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again.  They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)

    how do I quickly move files from old iMac to a new one?

    How many files, and what total size?
    To move ALL your files from an old Mac, you would use Migration Assistant, using either an Ethernet or Firewire connection. It's not quick, though.
    To move just a few, you COULD put the old Mac into target mode (reboot it while holding T, and connect a Firewire cable, with Thunderbolt adaptor on the new end if need be). Or you could just copy them via an external (probably USB, for compatibility) drive or flash drive, formatted Mac Extended.

  • Move configure from old ASA to new ASA 5515x?

    Dear All,
    Could you let me know how can i move my configuration from ASA 5510 v.8.0 to the new ASA 5515-x V9.1.1?

    could i export my certificate the old ASA and import to the new ASA, that are different version. Does has any solution without donwtime ?

    I do not believe that there is a way to do the transition from old ASA running 8.0 to new ASA running 9.1 without some downtime. But is is possible to minimize the downtime. I have recently done a transition like that and it was not an easy one. As you have discovered if you attempt to copy the old config to the new ASA it will reject as invalid syntax much of the access lists and all of the nat.
    The easier way to do the transition is to have an ASA running the old code with the old config and to upgrade that ASA to 9.1. In this process the 9.1 code should read the config from startup and will do a conversion to the new syntax. I have done this going from 8.0 to 8.4 and see no reason why 9.1 would be different. You then only need to check the accuracy of the conversion. And then you can take the converted config and load it on the new ASA. In my recent conversion we did not have an extra ASA with old code, the new ASA does not support the old version, and the downtime to do this on the existing ASA was not acceptable. So I took the access lists and nat and did a manual translation from old to new. I loaded the modified config on the new ASA and did some checking. We then just switched connections from old ASA to new ASA and the downtime was minimal.
