  • How long should it take to transfer information from hard drive to MacBook Pro after resetting

    how long should it take to transfer information from my hard drive to my Mac Pro after it has been reset

    There is no answer to that. The time depends on the amount of data and the method used for transfer.

  • Loaded information from hard drive to new computer without iphoto.  where are the photos i had in iphoto?

    Hi there,
    I spilled beer on an older macbook and it was too pricey to repair.  I had the Apple store save all files and information from the harddrive to an external hard drive. I moved all the files and information onto a refurbished macbook.  The refurbished macbook does not have ilife, particularly iphoto.  All of the photos that I had in iphoto on the old computer are gone.  Are they still available someplace?  How do I get to them?  If I can not access them on my new computer without iphoto can I exchange the old hard drive for the new one? Thank you very much.

    The iPhoto library that was on the hard drive of the damaged Macbook will still be there.
    I suggest you take the hard drive out of the dead MB and install it in an inexpensive external enclosure. Something like this:

    Once you have the drive in the enclosure you can connect it to your new Mac, install iPhoto on the new Mac, and access the library. This step can be tricky, so post back when you are ready.

    Hi, I downloaded the Adobe CS6 in 2012 and recently bought a new Mac Pro. I have the applications on my hard drive and I don´t know how to reinstall it onto my new computer. I have the serial number and information. Any help would be appreciated!

    You should check your Adobe account online to see if there is a link provided for you there.

  • How to transfer metadata from old PC to new Mac?

    All,
    I would like to transfer my entire iTunes library from a PC to a MacBook Pro. The PC runs XP. My key question is how to import the metadata, i.e., play count and ratings?

    Hey JDelage,
    Thanks for the question. This sort of data is stored within the iTunes Library itself, so you’ll want to transfer the entire iTunes folder. The following resource outlines some techniques, of which external drive may be your best option:

  • How to transfer apps from old pc to new mac

    I now have a brand new MacBook Pro laptop and have transferred everything except my apps from my old iTunes on PC to my new one using the home share function because there seems to be no option for the apps.  I've made sure the box is ticked in the General Tab of my Preferences on both computers but the apps still don't show up.  Am I missing something?  I have both firewire and USB cables for both computers.  Thanks for any input.

    Your answer would be useful is you could help this novice just a little bit more.  I'm only able to view the iTunes sidebar when I've selected Music under Library and there is no Quick Link option.  It seems that every option I find pertains to music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc, but never the apps where I paid for them or they were free downlods!  How might I do what you offered?  Thanks for your patience!

  • How to transfer video from hard disk to i tune?

    how to transfer video from hard disk to i tune? can any one please?? help me also in guiding if  anything else is required to be done to transfer the content to ipad....

    Drag it into the open iTunes application window. You may need to use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 first.

    how to transfer information from a Samsung Galaxy to my iPhone 5s

    I'm not sure I understand the distinction your making betweewn "from one mobile to another" and "from one mobile FOR another". If you have music on your Samsung, transfer it to your computer, add it to iTunes and sync it to your computer.

  • How to transfer files from old iMac to new iMac

    What is the easiest way to transfer files from my current iMac (intel) to my new iMac..which be arriving this week?
    Thanks

    Get a Firewire cable to run between your old iMac and the new one. Boot the old iMac into Target Disk Mode. Boot the new computer for the first time. You will find yourself in the Setup Assistant. You will have an option to transfer files from another drive or Mac. Choose that option to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and network preferences. You will opt to transfer from your old iMac's hard drive which should appear as an alternative source.

  • How do I transfer data from old hard drive to new mac exactly the same as it was on my old one?

    Unfortunately my 2009 iMac has been written off due to a faulty motherboard. Thankfully the company we got the mac from are providing me with a brand new one at no cost as I am under warranty. My old hard drive had many important documents and applications on it and we have requested for the old hard drive back. What I would like to know is how to I go about transferring all the stuff of my old hard drive to my new iMac? I would like everything to be set out exactly the same as it was on my old mac so basically I would like it cloned identical on my new mac from my old hard drive.
    Thanks Nathan

    In general, most people will recommend Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! You can find either one easily enough with a web search.
    However, in your case, I imagine you are going to have a hard disk returned to you all by itself, and you will need to install it in an enclosure. Don't let that bother you as this is easy to do and the enclosures are not expensive ($40 or so).
    Once that is done, I would recommend you set up your brand new Mac by answering all the questions during initial setup as usual. Be sure to use your correct Apple ID - probably the same one you used to log into this support forum. When you reach the point in which it asks you if you would like to transfer your old documents and settings, connect the old hard disk and select it as the source. It will take some time as it copies all its contents to your new Mac. All your familiar items will be exactly as they were on the failed Mac.
    After that, you can use the old hard disk as a Time Machine backup. When you are satisfied everything on your new Mac is running as it should, go ahead and erase the old disk. Then, tell Time Machine to designate it as a backup, and the rest is automatic.
