HT4413 Transfering Information - PC to MacBook Pro

Hi, whilst transfering information from my PC to the Apple MacBook Pro, my pc lost power and shut down. The PC is now back up and running but the pop-up-window showing the progress of information transfer has gone and it won't re-connect to the MacBook. The MacBook is still showing the progress window but is stuck on 2hours 24mins! Any help on how I can re-connect or start the process again will be much appreciated Thank you

USB - yes - o.k.
But do you connnect directly to the mac's ports? r do you use an USB HUB?
Anyway, try to alter to the configuration, you don't use.

Be sure to use the same Apple ID that made the Original Purchase / Download.

How do I use my serial number to find information about my MacBook Pro's Processor and RAM?

So I want to find information about my MacBook Pro's processor and RAM using the serial number because the MacBook no longer works. I remember being able to find this information on the apple website before, maybe by using the coverage checker. Did they take this information out of the coverage checker? Is it no longer possible for a costumer to obtain this information?

Append the last three characters of it to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the page.
This won't reveal how much RAM it currently has installed.

What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.

Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

TS4006 my macpro will send information to my computor but my iphone will not send information to my macbook pro

When i enter information into my Macbook pro it goes to my phone, but when i enter from my phone it does not go to my laptop

For your calendar, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. Here make sure you have selected a calendar under you iCloud account name as your default. If you haven't, make this change, then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs now.
If your settings are correct and it still isn't syncing, enter any events on your phone that are not already on your iCloud calendar to your iCloud calendar so it is up to date. Then go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calndars to Off. When prompted, choose Delete from My iPhone. Then after a minute or so, turn it back On and allow your iCloud calendars to sync back to your phone. Then enter a new event on your phone and see if it syncs now.
For your notes, save any notes on your phone that are not already in iCloud by emailing them to yourself. Then go to Settings>iCloud, turn Notes to Off, then after a minute turn it back to On. Then create a new note on your phone and see if it syncs properly now.

I transferred data to my MacBook Pro, then I accidentally did an UNDO and all the data desapeared....What can I do to recover it???

Sorry, but it's probably lost, then, presuming you never made a backup. There's a dim chance that you could recover at least some of the data using a file recovery utility such as Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering, but the chances aren't good and get lower the more you use your computer.

What can I do to make sure all my information (Notes Included) transfers to my new MacBook Pro when connecting for the first time?

I am about to connecting my Iphone to my new Macbook Pro for the first time. I just want to make sure that all my information: contacts, messages, notes, everything will still be on my phone. I just dont want to connect then find out I lost everything on my phone.
Help! I am really bad with technology...

When you first sync with a new iTunes library iTunes will delete any iTunes media from your phone and replace it with the media in the library being synced with. iTunes media includes things like apps, music, movies, tv shows, podcasts, books, custom ringtones and photos synced to your phone from a computer. If you are also syncing your contacts and calendars with your computer it will replace the ones on your phone with those on your computer. If your iTunes library, contacts, calendars and iPhoto are all empty, you will end up with all of these being empty on your phone.
To preserve these you need to follow the steps in the linked article. This will transfer purchased media from your phone to your iTunes library and transfer contacts and calendar entries to your Mac. As discussed in the guide, it will not transfer music not purchased from the iTunes store (which can only be done using 3rd party software such as the ones discussed) or photos synced to your phone from another computer (which can be transferred to your computer using an app like PhotoSync). These will need to done first or you will lose them, as discussed in the guide.

I want to retain my itunes 'date added' information when transferring to my new macbook pro

Hello There
I think even before I ask this, that I know what the answer will be, so please don't laugh at me, just sympathise..
I have a lot of music. A lot. So much I need to use the date added to keep it all organised and know where I am. Previously I used a computer from work for everything, but just got a shiny new macbook pro - woo hoo!
First thing I did was transfer my itunes library. I use a HD so pretty easy, simply hold down the option key whilst starting itunes, select the library on my HD and wallop, off we go. After a few minutes of chugging all my music is there and my playlists. Fantastic I thought, but then hold on - date added says today. This can't be right I say to myself, some of these files were added in 2008...
Being slightly paranoid about doing this I created a copy of my old itunes library - better safe than sorry. I open the old back up of itune library (an xml file) and sure enough, all the correct dates are there. I open up the new one and it says everything was imported today. Weird. So I try reimporting -doesn't work, overwriting the new xml file with the old info, saving and opening itunes again - no sir. Nothing works. It appears that whilst I can interact with the xml file, itunes uses another file (itunes document) which checks consistency, and won't allow the xml file info to overwrite, simply rehashes to the dates it thinks are right.
Done a fair bit of research and I think the answer is there is not an answer. Being the wise old owl that apple is, it has decided that users will not want this information if they ever move or buy new computers, so while it will keep your playlists, it won't have this bit of info. My only option has been to create spreadsheets of old list for reference.
I'm hoping out there someone will tell me that apple have realised this is rubbish and have fixed, or will say fret no longer, here is the magic workaround, but I haven't found anyone who can yet. Does anyone have the answer?
Until then, I will continue to perform this awkward workaround and stick pins into the apple voodoo doll.
Cheers
Mr Sherlock

weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
cheers

Transferred data to new macBook Pro, iPhoto won't open

I just recently purchased a new 15" MacBook Pro (2.2GHz) and transferred all data from old 17" MacBook Pro to the new computer. Transfer when without problems. Tried to launch iPhoto and only get the spinning beach ball - not responding on force quit. Help please. I have a lot of photos in iPhoto (29K)
Thanks

Downloaded software update, seems to be working now

Just transferred all photos to MacBook pro

Just transferred all photos in iPhoto library from imac to MacBook pro and when I click on some of the thumbnails it comes up with the triangle warning icon. Can I fix this?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Obvious question: How - and what - did you transfer?

Transferring photos from new Macbook Pro to older laptop

My new MacBook Pro has Thunderbolt and 800 Firewire and I need to back up 26 GB of photos to an older laptop MacBook with Firewire 400. I dont want to do it over the network which is too slow for this much info. Any suggestions?

I do this kind of thing quite a bit, and it all depends on what kind of storage options that are available.
1. I have several pen drives, a few 16gb in storage, that I use to transfer data from one computer to another. If you have 26gb of music, the transfer should't be too long.
2. I also own a few Seagate portable drives, which are great for transferring data. It's also fairly fast. I use a USB to USB2 cable to do the transfer; my cable came with the drive.
One easy way to figure out which cable you need would be to visit your Apple Store; they should be able to tell which cable to purchase.

Very slow speed during transferring files between two MacBook Pro by AirPort

I have a MacBooc Pro md101 and my friend have MacBook Pro early 2011 model, when we transfering something a speed is very slow,3 month ago i've the same model like his model ( Early 2011 ) and speed was very fast by airport, but now is slow ! Anyone help me or say why ? Thank you...

If it is wireless to wireless transfer it will go at less than half of the slowest connection..
Check each mac link speed to the Express.. if either of them is far away or using 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz you will lose lots of speed.
