    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 want to transfer Logic Express 9 from my old macbook to my new retina macbook pro???

    When I try and transfer Logic Express 9 from my old macbook running mt lion to my retina macbook pro running mt. lion I get the message "You can't use this version of the applicaiton "Logic Express" with this version of OSX."
    The version of Logic express is 9.1.8. Both mac's are running 10.8.2. I don't get it.
    Can anyone help me on this?

    Hi
    How did you "transfer" Express?
    It might be better to re-install Express 9 from scratch, though without an Optical drive you would need to:
    a) Use an external Optical drive
    b) Make a disk image of the installer on another computer and then copy that image to the rMBP
    c) Make use of Apple's Remote Disk

  • I just bought a new computer and want to transfer my itunes music from my old pc to my new pc. How should i do it?

    I want to transfer my entire music library from one computer to another without using a usb drive or cds. How can i transfer the music without using either a cd or a usb?

    You need to use a 3rd party utility such as Touchcopy - this will allow you to rebuild your library on the computer from the iPhone.

  • I have just bought a MacBook Pro and want to transfer my iTunes library from my old laptop to mac.  I've prepped and copied the library to an external hard drive then loaded it onto my mac however none of the music or apps are appearing.

    I've moved my library to my Mac but none of my apps and only some purchased music/books appear in itunes.  I'm sure I'm missing something but I'm new to Mac's so not sure what! Any help appreciated

    Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.

    I have recently bought a new pc and want to transfer my music library from my iphone to itunes on my new pc

    I too have just purchased a new pc and want to transfer EVERYTHING from my iPhone to the new pc.  I am unable to access my old pc for the files.  I have been able to transfer what I purchased on my phone but nothing else.  Is there anyway to just transfer everything without having to have access to the old pc?

  • 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.

  • I just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

    i just bought an imac and want to transfer all my music from an iphone to imac - how is this done please

    1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • I want to transfer photoshop elements 6 from my old computer to my new computer.  I have the serial number.  How do I do this?

    I want to transfer photoshop elements 6 from my old computer to my new computer.  I have the serial number.  How do I do this?

    If you have a CD for your product (I assume that is where you got the serial number from!!) then you can insert it in the drive on your new machine and install it in the usual way.
    If the new machine hasn't got a CD/DVD drive then you can use another machine and copy the contents of the CD to a flash drive and use the USB port on the new machine to install the product.
    Of course you can buy an external DVD drive and use it as well if that is what you want to do.
    If, however, you don't have a CD for your product then I am afraid it is difficult to download it from Adobe website.

  • I want to transfer adobe premier elements from my old PC to my new mac book pro, how do i do it?

    =============================================
    Moved by moderator from Premiere Pro to Premiere Elements forum.

    photo shop elements 12
    What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
    It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
    Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
    What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
    How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
    from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
    What installation files or installation disc do you have?
    You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
    for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
    If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
    Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
    Mac computer.
    But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

    Good day BenithaK,
    Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -

    I just bought a MBA and I need to move my photos and itunes to an external hard drive (from my old MacBook Pro) because they won't fit on the Air.  I got the photos moved fine and I followed an online tutorial to move the necessary files for itunes, but it didn't work.  The files copied fine, but when I tell iTunes on the Air to look at the external drive for the library, it doesn't find anything.  What I copied was the entire iTunes Media folder.  So, how do I move the necessary iTunes files from my old Pro to a external drive so I can access them from my new Air?  Whew!

    iTunes- How to move the library to an EHD
    After you move the library you need to open iTunes by first depressing the OPTION key then launching iTunes. You will be given a choice of which library to use. This can then be made a permanent change, if you wish, in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.
