See:

For non-Tunes purchased music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed in the above.

  • I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!

    Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
    There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for:  Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion.

  • Ages old question: transfer all disk content to new MacBook Pro

    Dear all. I know this question has been asked zillion times before but the answers confuse me. I have a new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (not Lion yet) and want to transfer all contents of my white MacBook 2008 (No FireWire !!) to the new one. I have a wireless network. Should I make a fresh backup with Time Machine to a external disk and then connect the new MacBook to that or would it be better to do it with Migration Assistant over my wireless network. In the last case, how long would 300 GB content take ? Thanks so much !

    Some argue Migration Assistant from TM works but creates more headaches. This you can run after you've already set up a new machine.
    Some argue that Setup Assistant from TM is better than MA above, that what occurs when you start the machine (or run OSX) for the first time.
    You can also T boot the old Mac with a Firewire cable and transfer that way as well in either of the above cases or manually. I haven't tried with MA/SA yet, just manually.
    Some people prefer to not have everything transferred over and then have to pick through and toss the old garbage afterwards possibly making their machines slow. As MA and SA have no brains, it's a blind copy. Some have privacy issues and don't want old application cache files tagging along for the ride.
    I'm one of those that a new machine gets all fresh copies of current software and then picks out just the gems from another drive.
    One is going to perform work either removing stuff and missing things and having a slowdown possibility, or one works to installs all fresh copies and keeps their machine from possibly slowing down.
    So that's it. It's debatable and up to you which way you want to go about it.
    The SA/MA route can bring over old programs that still run, so you don't have to need a paid upgrade.
    But I figure if one is dropping several thousand on a new box, what's a few hundred more for current versions of software so there is no issues?
    Guess it depends what is on the MacBook and how out of shape it is. Likely a pristine machine with little or no system level hooks or other garbage involved will MA/SA just fine. Garbage in = Garbage out.

  • HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing. 
    1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
    2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
    Thanks in advance.

    Home Sharing is only for PCs that are connected in the same network

  • How do I transfer my songs from my iPod Touch to my new MacBook Pro?

    Okay so I have read many similar questions, but I have not found any that share my exact problem.  I got an iPod Touch for Christmas and bought songs from the iTunes app it has, NOT FROM A PREVIOUS COMPUTER.  I have boughten 83 songs so far.  Now I just got the new MacBook Pro for graduation and haven't touched the iTunes on this computer.  It is all set up through the same Apple ID.  So again, all 83 songs that I have on my iPod did NOT come from a previous computer, they all have been bought through iTunes on the iPod Touch, how do I get those songs on my new computer?  Thank you!
    P.S. OH!  I also just got the Time Capsule (2TB), so I am not sure if that would solve my problem.

    This is answered often.
    open itunes, connect ipod, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new Macbook Pro?

    how do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new one Macbook Pro?
    new Macbook Pro is operating on OSX 10.8.2
    When I save it as an export then try to open it on the new computer it wants me to delete all my current contacts before it will import.
    What happened to MERGING?

    On the PowerBook G4, open Address Book and choose File > Back up Address Book...
    Save it to your Desktop or directly to the MBP if it is already connected. Otherwise copy the Address Book backup file to the MacBook Pro. Email is also an option.
    On the MacBook Pro, open (double-click) the Address Book Backup (abbu) file:
    Contacts will launch and display the following:
    Click Replace All which will do what it says.
    Using Migration Assistant to migrate from Tiger to Mountain Lion simply does not work. Tiger to Lion works, Tiger to Mountain Lion does not. Apple does not provide specific directions regarding the use of Migration Assistant from Tiger to ML, only Tiger to Lion.

  • Transferring old iPhone 3G content from older Macbook Pro to new & iPhone 4

    Hi,
    I would like to know what the most efficient way of moving all my old iPhone contacts and calendar etc. from my old Macbook Pro and iPhone 3G to my new MacBook Pro and iPhone 4?
    It doesn't seem that straight forward?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Use migration assistant to move everything from the old computer to the new.
    Iphone should sync as always.

  • Ipod classic sync to new macbook pro

    Hi,
    I bought a new ipod classic and did use it on my old PC but now have a new macbook pro.  What, if anything, should I do when I attach my new ipod to the new computer??
    Thanks

    Doris,
    Your iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.  If you try to sync it to a new computer/iTunes library the process will erase what is currently on the iPod and replace it with the content that is now in your new iTunes library.  If possible, copy your entire iTunes library from your PC to your Mac first.  Here are a few ways to do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    One way to do it is to use your iPod Classic as an external hard drive and copy it that way.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
    Otherwise, you'll need to use one of the methods described in this Apple support document to copy content from your iPod back to your Mac.

  • Unsuccessful data transfer onto my new macbook pro- please help

    I have just upgraded to a new 2.16GHz core 2 duo macbook pro and tried last night to transfer my data via firewire using the apple start up set up from my previous 1.83GHz core duo macbook pro bought in March 2006. Unfortunately there were errors in transferring my user folder. I subsequently used migration assistant with the old macbook pro in target disc mode and the same error occurred. I have now manually transferred my user folders by dragging them from the target disc old macbook pro drive into my new user folders in the HD of the new macbook pro. Please can anyone advise me whether this is all I need to do to have my user files on the new macbook pro ie are there any other files I should move over from the old to new computer? The applications transferred in the initial set up and several folders in my HD and it seems only the user folders didn't.
    Can someone explain why this happened also please? I have checked the new HD with disc utility and it has no errors.
    I have transferred files from several powerbooks in the past using the initial set up or migration assistant and haven't had problems like this before? I wonder whether the new computer is faulty? Please can anyone advise? Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can only sync the iPhone with one Mac or PC, so your Mac is asking you to erase the device because you synced it with another Mac or PC. To avoid this, I recommend you to copy the "iTunes" folder of your old Mac or PC (in Music folder) to the Music folder of your Mac, so you'll have the same data on your Mac as the data you had on the PC.
    To transfer contacts, notes, etc., I recommend iCloud > http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

  • Transfer data to new macbook pro via timemachine external harddrive?

    My old macbook pro from 2006, osx (mountain?) lion, has totally broken down now. The screen is black on start up and I think its time is up. I've made saves and backed it up regularly to an external harddrive. If I buy a new macbook pro with yosemite - will I be able to retrieve all the data from the old external harddrive? Could I use an Ipad to access any data?

    Yes, you should be able to do that if the backup is a Time Machine backup by using the Time Machine application on your new computer or migrating your data from the Setup Assistant that starts up on your new Mac when you first turn it on. I recommend either approach. You can, at a later time if you wish, use Migration Assistant to transfer your data from the Time Machine backup.

  • I would like to migrate my idvd from my old Mac powerbook to my new Macbook pro? How to do it? Can someone show me the steps?

    my new Macbook Pro does not have idvd and my old one has, so would like to transfer my idvd from my old mac to my new one. Can i do that? and how? thanks.

    Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
    iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
    I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
    1. Create a Gmail Account.
    2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
    3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
    And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
    That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
    Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
    Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything!

  • 2006 MacBook Pro died, best methods to transfer data to new MacBook Pro

    So my Rev. A MacBook Pro 2.16Ghz intel core duo finally died, looks like something on the logic board. So I bought a brand new 2011 2.2Ghz MacBook Pro. I have purchase and On The Go 2.5 inch enclosure from OWC, it's a USB device. the old hard drive is now in the enclosure, and I'm awaiting delivery tomorrow, of the new MacBook Pro.
    My question is, what would be the best method to transfer old files. I want to start fresh with library and system files, as well as email IMAP files. my main concern is applications.
    Can I simply drag the actual app from the old app folder to the new app folder? Will it bring along with it preferences and settings? Or do I need all the .DMG files to install the app into the new MBP?
    Apps like; Audiohub, Connect360, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro. honestly there are so many more that I can't remember right now.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can attempt to manually move these files but if it doesn't work then just migrating the whole user and deleting the items you don't want might be the way to go.
    Copy the following files from the old HD to their matching location on the new computer and then restart the computer before you launch any of these applications:
    Safari:  Users / Your User / Library / Safari
    iCal:  Users / Your User / Library / Calendars
    Addressbook: Users / Your User / Application Support / Addressbook
    iChat : Users / Your User / Library / Preferences / com.apple.ichat (there may be more than one of these files.  copy them all over)
    I don't use Skype so I don't know exactly where they store their files but checking in Users / Your User / Library / Skype would be a logical place to start.  You can certainly ask in the Skype forum: http://forum.skype.com/
    Adobe products tend to have bits and pieces scattered throughout.  There may be a simple solution but I would suggest you inquire in the Adobe forums: http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_macintosh

  • Transfer data to new macbook pro

    Hi I have purchase a new MacBook Pro and would like to transfer everything  to the new one. The old MacBook Pro will be given to my friend so I would like to delete all personal files settings etc
    Thanks
    Elijah

    Connect the two via Firewire cable. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire; boot the new computer normally. You should see a disk icon for your old computer's drive on the new computer's Desktop.
    Open Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder of the new computer. Follow onscreen instructions for migrating your data to the new computer.
    When finished and all is well do the following:
    Prepare Your Mac for Sale
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer.  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.  After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab.  Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button.  Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button.  Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive.  If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive.  The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive.  After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Now complete the OS X installation.  At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer.  Instead just shut it off.  The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

  • Migrated iPhoto content to new MacBook Pro,  but can't get '11

    Hi there,
    I migrated my iPhoto content from my old laptop to my new one, the new one has OSX 10.6.7, but somehow I seem to have migrated iPhoto v8.1.2 also. iPhoto '11 should be part of 10.6.7, right? iPhoto '11 cannot be found on my new computer, did one cancel the other?
    My hubby did exactly the same thing, migrated his old iPhoto content to his new MacBook Pro and he has iPhoto '11. I have tried to download it but it seems that it's too big to download, it requires a physical disc. My computer came with the software already loaded.
    If anyone can give me any pointers on how to fix this I'd be so grateful.
    Thanks,

    How did you migrate the iPhoto content?
    As to iPhoto version - iPhoto does not come with any OS - it comes on new computers and can be purchased as part of iLife or in the App store
    reinstall iPhoto - go to your receipts folder ("Your hard drive" ==> library ==> receipts) and remove any iPhoto receipts and reinstall from the restore disks that came with your computer - do a custom install of bundled software only
