HT4889 Mac G4 to MacBook Air

I would like to copy iTunes from a Mac G4 to a MacBook Air. Is there an easy way to do this?

You can connect them to each other through FireWire I believe, if that's what you mean. Otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about, more details wouldn't exactly hurt.

  • How can I move select photos from my mac to my macbook air?

    I would like to know the best, quickest, easiest way to move photos from my Mac to my macbook air?  I have tried Migration Assistant--was going to take 4 hours and I don't want to share all files, just photos.  I also went into System Pref. on each computer, clicked "Sharing" and attempted to allow access to both computers by setting up a Public folder but only some of the photos transferred.  I also get a message on my mb air telling me I don't have access to the pictures on the other Mac, even though I have granted access to "Everyone" in my network.   Also, I've updated both computers and rebooted them, to no avail. 
    We have a wireless network, if that makes a difference?
    Thanks!--have a client meeting in 25 minutes and need some photos--HELP!!

    1st solution
    One great features is AirDrop if you connect both Mac on the same WiFi.
    Go to finder, on the top of the left list you get : All my files, AirDrop, ...
    Click on AirDrop on both computer, you will see on both computer each other. Then just drag and drop files from one computer to the other.
    2nd solution
    Use an USB drive ... ok physical support are so boring ...
    3rd solution
    Share folders between your computer but with right rights on it ... can take a long time to explain ... ask if you wan't this solution
    4th solution : iPhoto
    if you store your pictures in iPhoto you can share your library between several iPhoto.
    Launch iPhoto on both Mac and on the source's one activate sharing library
    5th solution : iCloud
    If you have iCloud configured on both Mac and you store your photo in iPhoto both will get the last 1000th photos
    6th solution : dropbox
    Store your photo in dropbox and they will synchronize on both Mac
    7 ....
    Ask if you want some more

    Purchase it.  Here's one link to an Amazon site to buy one of the many Office configurations:

  • Will all my music transfer from the mac to my macbook air? I don't want it to because there is too much and the air will not hold it.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, when you are going to turn off or restart your Mac, you will see a box called "Reopen windows when logging back in" in the shutdown or restart window. Untick this box and see if the App Store opens automatically in the next startup.
    If it starts, open System Preferences > Users and Groups > Login Items, and see if the App Store shows up. If so, remove it from this list

  • Mac mini  and macbook air startup takes hours

    When I restart my mac mini, it takes approximately 16-18 HOURS to boot. During this time the grey screen is displayed with the Apple logo, and the turning wheel is turning and turning but nothing happens.
    I updated the mac mini to Mountain Lion.
    What is funny, my macbook air has exactly the same problem. So I dont think that this is a hardware related problem. My macbook air takes about 8-10 hours to restart.
    Anybody has the same experience or has a solution?
    Again, both my mac mini and macbook air have this problem.
    Thanks!!

    Whew, this is incredible!?
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
    How much RAM & free Disk space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
    In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

  • Mac Mini or Macbook Air?

    Mac Mini or Macbook Air? I want to use it for word processing and playing music. I have an iPad 2, an iMac, and an Airport Extreme Base Station. I am not necessarily looking for portability, but It would be nice. What do you think?

    The Mac Mini would be better in performance; I tried simple photo editing on my MacBook Air and I was dissapointed.

  • Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

  • I have the Numbers-applications on both Mac mini and Macbook Air. My problem is that they don't sync so when I create a Numbers-file on the MacBook  while travelling, it will not be on my Mac mini when I get home :(((

    Hey iWeb plubishing problems,
    I would first check to make sure that you meet the system requirements for OS X to support Documents in the Cloud. For that your Mac’s needs to be running at least OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later to make sure that everything syncs. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • After upgrading to ios8 iCloud won't recognise password on iPhone and iPad only on my Mac Mini and Macbook Air

    After upgrading to ios8 my iPad and iPhone could not sign in to iCloud. The error was either 'server error' or verification failed. I reset the password and verified I could log in via my Mac Mini and Macbook Air but I still get the error on my two iPads and iPhone that verification failed.

    somehow, after delinking my apple(icloud) id with iphone, i erased my iphone to start with new, in hope that it should work now, but nothing seems to be working,
    now my iphone is blank, i erased all data and after trying several times, its showing while setting up iphone.

  • Is there a way to have MSOffice-Mac on my MacBook Air sync wirelessly (and non-manually) with iWork on my iPhone without a third-party app?

    I purchased a MacBook Air after hearing that it can sync wirelessly with all iOS devices. I then purchased the iWork office for my college courses and found out that the school requires online students like me to use Microsoft Office for Mac. An Apple phone rep explained that this software syncs in read-only mode with the iPhone. Is there really no way - besides third party software like Dropbox, Windows Live SkyDrive, or Docs To Go - for me to sync my homework between iWork on my iPhone and MS Office my new MacBook?

    Go through this article: How to back up your data and set up as a new device or do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

  • Will I be able to completely remotely control and access my Office Mac from my Macbook Air at home?

    I am in a bit of a dilemma and need some help from the community.  I have a Mac Mini running 16GB Ram 2.3 I7  and 1 TB Fusion Drive at my office, it is in Parrallels Coherence mode 100% of the time.   I have to run certain Windows apps from home.  I am setting my routers at the office to accept NAT-PMP, or Plug and Play so that I can access them.
    I have two questions:
    1.  Will I be able to use back to my mac, or screen share to completely operate and share my mac mini with a new mac book air?
    2.  I am buying a new MacBook Air, I am under the assumption that I can get the 13" 4gb, I5, with 256 GB and I should be able to quickly access and handle all basic remote access, iphoto stuff and some i movie stuff occassionally.
    Am I correct in these assumptions?  Any recommendations?
    I do have IPAD apps that can also access two of the three windows apps that are critical to my company, but really need a traditional computer with mouse to run them effectively remotely.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    John

    Yes to both, as long as the Mini is running Mountain Lion or later OS you can use Back to My Mac and Screen Sharing. It will be as though you are seated at the remote Mac. Connections and speed will be determined by Internet conditions.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Share your screen using Back to My Mac
    It's pretty seamless. Copying files for example is a simple matter of dragging them to or from the Screen Sharing window. If you have multiple users on the Mini you can log in remotely as any user for which you have access, or share the screen interactively with a user's consent.
    The only uncertainties are your router, but according to Apple all that should be required is to enable NAT-PMP or UPnP.
    I use Apple routers, to eliminate any uncertainty.

  • Can see files on Mac Mini from Macbook Aire on same network

    I can see the MacMini in the side bar from the Air but when I click through i can only see the public folders.  I have File Sharing checked in the System Preferences so I dont understand why i cannot see the files on the mini.  I can only see the drop box in the public folders and it wont even allow me to access that even if i wanted to.
    Is there something else other than check file sharing in system preferences that I need to do
    Also, I have an external drive attached to the MacMini which is not visible from the Macbook Air, not sure if that is the same problem
    Thanks for any advice you can offer
    Andrew

    Note that there's a difference between sharing and syncing.
    Sharing will allow you to access the files on your Mini from your MBP, but the files won't be on your MBP when you take it somewhere else.
    Syncing is making both Macs have identical copies of files, so that a change on one Mac makes a change on the other Mac.
    If you've got a large LightRoom catalogue and limited space on your MBP, then you want sharing. The link above should get you started with that.
    For syncing, I recommend BitTorrent Sync, which is free. It's basically "DropBox without the cloud". You select a folder to sync, and then whenever your two Macs are on the same network, any file in that folder that changes is synced to the other Mac.
    I use it to keep my entire Documents folder synced between my Mini and MBP.
    http://www.bittorrent.com/sync
    You may need to be careful about modifying the same document on both computers at the same time, though I believe BS does handle this in some way. Also, if you're syncing an app's data library, then some database files (e.g. with computer-specific data like file path names) may not sync well.
    Of course, you could use DropBox, though you'll need to subscribe if you want more than a couple of GB.
