HT3399 I have a MacBook Pro and want to transfer all my programs to a new MacBook Pro.

I bought a new MacBook Pro. Now I want to transfer my data and selected programs from my old to my new computer without using total backup. What possibilities do I have?

Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support
Note that some apps, MS Office for one, sometimes don't migrate well and may need to be reinstalled.

  • I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
    Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
    On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
    Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant.

  • HT201302 I have an iPod touch, and want to transfer all my photos (taken over the last year) to my Windows 8 PC, how can I do this?

    I believe it's 4th gen - it does have a camera (hence all the photos).
    I don't want to update it to the latest iOS since I'm concerned it will slow it down too much, but it is running 5.1 I believe.
    I have a Windows 8 PC and have just installed iTunes, and iCloud panel. Photostream doesn't seem to import old photos, though I've tried this route. I can't find the "enable disk use" button in the new iTunes, and when I try and open the iPod through the start menu I just find an empty DCIM folder.
    Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

    On Windows, the drivers responsible for recognizing an iOS device as a camera are built into the Windows operating system. The steps below may help identify a driver-installation issue and resolve it by reinstalling these drivers. Before starting, find out if you have Windows 7 N edition. If so, see the additional information section below for a required Media Pack to recognize cameras.
    From the "Unable to import photos" page.
    Does Windows 8 not have these drivers? Is there a fix?

  • I just bought a macbook air .I want to pass all my programs to the new mac book. My old is a mac book pro.

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

  • I have a mac mini which I bought in 2008. I need to buy a new mac, imac, and want to transfer all the files to the new mac. Can I do that with the 5 year old mini?

    Thanks -- I would like to try this. I do not know how to reach hard drive from old mac to new. Can you help me with this?
    There are two ways - you can boot your old Mac in Target Mode (reboot your Mac, and as soon as you hear the startup chime hold down the T key on the keyboard until you see the yellow/orange Firewire logo on screen).  You can then use a FireWire cable to connect your new mac to your old one.  The old Mac hard drive will appear on your new Mac as if it is an external hard drive.
    Details on Target Disk Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661
    If you don't have a firewire cable but you do have a home network (i.e. both computers can access the Internet at the same time), you can share the hard drive on your old Mac and then connect to it on your new Mac.
    Good article on sharing your hard drive:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549
    Finally, if the above doesn't thrill you, you can hook an external drive to your old Mac, copy the mail folder over to it, then connect the external drive to your new Mac and copy it over.  It's two steps, but if you don't have a firewire cable and aren't comfortable with sharing over a network it will work just as well - you just have to wait for the mail folder to copy twice instead of once.
    If you get stuck post back!

  • I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm mic and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lecture to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    I have a digital voice recorder with a 3.5mm microphone and headphone jack and want to transfer some recorded lectures to my mac book pro.  The mac book does not have 3.5mm  jacks.  Does anyone know if a jack to USB converter would work?

    Is there a pattern to the time of day or other detail that may be
    traced back to a OS X system cause of this odd phenomenon?
    Are there any copies of system files on any of the attached USB
    external drives? Any libraries, such as iTunes, iPhoto, etc?
    Once the drives are indexed by Spotlight, are their permissions
    ignored by the OS X? Content, if neutral, should not affect the
    wake or sleep cycle; especially if they're ignored by the OS X.
    Could there be a bad cable or other component? If so that would
    be a difficult process of elimination to detect it. Usually replacing
    most suspect components in the USB stream (external to Macs)
    is a rote way to mechanically test that idea; & not 100% sure.
    Does the equipment all have a good ground to the utility or house
    electrical field? An intermittent ground may affect more than sleep.
    Hard to say at this point. Maybe a late-night talk radio guru on
    remote viewing could peer into your situation and sleuth it out?
    Sorry to have run out of ideas, but the process must be electrical
    & mechanical to some extent. - Or perhaps odd software inspired.
    Do you have any phone-home spyware items inside, just jumping
    at the chance to spill your information? Little Snitch may help.
    PS: Perhaps the computer needs to go into Apple & have a genius
    or product specialist at AASP test the unit thoroughly... BlueTooth?

  • HT1209 I have a music collection on my iPod (160GB Classic). I have that collection on my old Mac Book. Now I have a new Mac Pro and want to transfer the collection to the new Mac Pro, is that doable?

    Thanks roaminggnome. Can I do that transfer wirelessly or do I have to get a large jump drive to copy and transfer. I presume that I cannot use my iPod right?

  • Purchased aperture progam and downloaded onto desktop. recently purchased a macbook pro and want to transfer the program to new computer.  can it be done and how do I do it?

    I purchased the Aperture progam last year and downloaded to desk top Mac.  I now have a mac book pro and want to transfer the program.  Is it possible and How do I do it? 

    What is your Mac OS X version? And your Aperture Version?
    Did you buy from the App Store? When you downloaded Aperture from the App Store, you only need to sign into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and to download it to your Mac Book Pro from the "Purchased" tab at the App Store. Your licence covers the installation on all your Macs for private purposes.
    If you bought a licence key from the Apple Store, not the App Store, copy the installer you downloaded to your Mac Book Pro and run it there. Then unlock Aperture with your licence key.

  • HT4889 I've already set up my new MacBook Pro, I want to migrate all my stuff from my old MacBook OS X 10.6.4. Will it wipe out the settings in the new computer?

    I've already set up my new MacBook Pro, I want to migrate all my stuff from my old MacBook OS X 10.6.4. Will the migration wipe out the settings in the new computer?

    Of course not. Migration Assistant will create a new user with the transferred files and settings, so your MacBook Pro won't get messed > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

    You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.
