What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

  • What device can I use to transfer photos from Iphone5s. Don't want to use my computer.

    What external device besides my computer can I use to transfer photos from
    my Iphone 5s.  Do I have to transfer to my computer and then external device?

    Normally the transfer is to your computer, treating the phone as a digital camera. However, you can also enable Photo Sharing. Or use Box.com or Dropbox. Or a 3rd party app such as MyPics that can save them to a Google Picasa site, or Shutterfly that can save them to Shutterfly albums.

    If they're both on the same network you can enable file sharing on both and transfer files through your LAN, you don't need any cables.

  • What's the easiest way to transfer data from an old external disk to a new one?

    Hello!
    My external hard drive (SimpleTech 250GB) is almost full so I bought a LaCie P'9230 3TB hard drive to take the place of the old one. What is the easiest way to transfer the data from the old one to the new one? Also, any tips on how to format the new drive will be appreciated since I haven't done this in a while.
    Thank VERY much!!!

    Hello rkaufmann87 and Linc,
    Thank you both for your responses. It ended up that it was REALLY easy to set up and use the LaCie drive. The drive came with very simple instructions and a very easy to use setup assistant. Setup took about 2 minutes without ever leaving the assistant to get into Disk Utility, etc. Once the drive was setup I simply dragged the older external drive on top of the LaCie drive and the LaCie copied the data in about a minute.
    After backing up the old drive I set Time Machine to use the new LaCie drive and selected the encryption option. It took the LaCie drive about an hour to totally back up my iMac's hard drive and to encrypt it as well.
    VERY IMPRESSED with LaCie for sure!!! (As well as continuing to be VERY IMPRESSED with my MAC!!!)
    Thanks again!

  • How do I Transfer Data from my B/W G3 to my new Macbook Pro by firewire?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and want to move my photo and music files from my G3 to my new computer as efficiently as possible. I thought firewire was the way to go but just learned that I cant put my G3 in target mode. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks!

    Macs running 7.5.3 or later can share files easily with Macs running any version of Mac OS X up to 10.3.9, and with a little more complexity any Mac OS X through 10.4.10.
    The learning curve is a bit steeper. But this illustrated article will guide you:
    http://homepage.mac.com/car1son/os9xnet_nfilesharing.html
    Mac OS X 10.4 was revised to make room for Intel Protocols, and AppleTalk-only File Sharing was removed \[AppleTalk Printer Sharing still works]. To do File Sharing with Macs before Mac OS 9, you must initiate the Sharing from the Older Mac or use a third-party program called Shareway IP:

  • What cable can I use?

    What cable can I use to transfer old VHS tapes from my VHS player to my new IMac and IMovie (VHS to DVD transfer)? And where would be the best place to purchase such a cable? My VHS has only coaxial or RCA plugs as outputs. The IMac has firewire cable inputs.

    Fixit2at,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    It's more than just a cable you need.
    To go from VHS to iMovie requires converting an analog video signal to digital.
    Some miniDV cameras have an analog/digital pass through mode. If you have access to such a camera, that may be a solution.
    If not, you'll need some hardware, such as this:

    The Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper, or similar software. For best results, place the second drive inside the computer or in a FireWire enclosure and boot the computer from it before removing the internal drive.

  • Can anyone enlighten me as to how I can transfer data from an extracted hard drive off of a Macbook Pro onto a new Retina model? No SATA port!!!

    Hello,
    I'm trying to transfer data from my old hard drive (taken out of Macbook Pro 2009) onto a new Macbook Pro Retina.  My ignorance is vast and I purchased an eSATA device to do so, not thinking that there is no SATA port on this new computer.  Is there a special cable or anything anyone can recommend?  I'd be very grateful for some help here.     

    I would just get a cheap USB enclosure from OWC, put your old drive in it, and use it it transfer the data to your new rMBP. Cheap and simple. The one I spec'ed is for a USB 3.0 enclosure as you have USB 3.0 ports on your computer - much faster than USB 2.0.

    What is the best way to transfer data from a PC to an iMac?

    If you know how to set up a computer-to-computer Ethernet network, then you can give that a try, but a hard drive will be faster than Ethernet unless you don't have a lot to transfer.

  • TS4079 Can I use the cellular data from my I phone 4 to get directions from Siri

    Since I have Siri on my iPad when the location device is turned on, can I use my cellular data from my iPhone 4 to use Siri for driving directions?

    I think you can.
    I did it when I bought my iPhone 3Gs. If you have a copy of your iPod it should work.
