I had a mac mini on snow leopard but it broke.I now have a macbook pro on leopard how do I upgrade using the disks from my old mac mini

can I use the osx disks from my old mac mini to upgrade my macbook pro so i can then get a further free upgrade

You can not use a DVD that shipped with one Mac to load on to another. To upgrade to Snow Leopard you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD.

  • I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs and I now have a MacBook Pro and when i signed into iTunes all the songs I had before were gone. How can I get my old songs back?

    I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs then when I updated my computer to the MacBook Pro it deleted all my songs when I signed into iTunes. Is there a way I can get those songs back?

    Did you put the songs on the new computer?
    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • I'm trying to hook up my Macbook Pro to my TV. I'm using the 'mini-display port to female HDMI" adapter. all i can see is my desktop background. no folders or icons and when i play a movie it goes blank.

    Drag applications from your main desktop off the right side of the screen and they will appear on the TV.  This is the extended desktop mode.

    How can i put my itunes library from an old mac g4 10.4.11 to an ipod2?

    Install iTunes 9.2.1 on your computer. If the device's requirements specify iTunes 10 or newer, you need to purchase Mac OS X 10.5 on DVD.

    I am moving from PC to Mac.  My PC has two internal drives and I have a 3Tb external.  What is best way to move the data from the internal drives to Mac and the best way to make the external drive read write without losing data

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac.

    How do I collected all the SMS from iPhone to Mac. Besides these paymentprograms. And I have no previous backup that I can get it from.

    This is amazing! Pick out everything I need from the iPhone. Just what I've been looking for a long time, but did not find anything I liked. So started to see if I could pick out one and one thing ... Definitely worth the money. Thank you Julian!
    PS. I fully support the payment thing, but theres allot of legal free programs aswell, so just wondered =)

  • How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?

    How do i speed up my migration from my old mac to the new one?

    what method are you using? Firewire, ethernet, wireless?  I'm assuming you are doing this via Migration Assistant.  You can't speed it up if it is in process, but you can use a faster method if available to you.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413

  • If I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard on it. How do I get Snow Leopard so I can upgrade to Lion and Mountain Lion?

    I cannot find Snow Leopard to buy so I can upgrade eventually to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro with Leopard on it.

    Glad to help.
    Next, some PPC applications that were supported in Leopard and SL will not run because ML does not have Rosetta.  Read this table to see if you have any applications that will not run: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also, pardon the possible insult but: BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP
    Many have decided to go back from ML (not questioning their decision, just saying they do), and with no solid image of what they had, they have a long road of re-construction ahead.

  • How do I get my macmini running Mountain Lion to see my Canon USB printer connected to my Airport Extreme? I have a macbook pro running leopard and that works fine. The versions of airport utility are different and I can't even see the printer from new 1

    I am having trouble seeing my usb printer from my second gen airport extreme using the newest version of airport utility under Mountain Lion. UGH! And while I can see and network to my Canon IP5000 from my macbook pro running leopard, I can't from my new macmini running Mountain Lion. Any help would be appreciated in configuring my macmini so it can see the Canon IP5000 on the airport extreme. Don't want to "share" the printer from the laptop because that would be a cludge. Thanks ahead

    I solved this one based on another post. Turned out I needed the snow leopard IP5000 driver. I had just copied over the leopard driver (I had saved my .dmg file) and installed that but it didn't work. So I downloaded the latest driver which turned out to be for snow leopard and I am guessing since it is 64bit that is why it worked and the leopard driver didn't. Anyway, I also had to hook the printer up via usb to the mac mini to get it to work locally before the O/S would see it over Bonjour via the airport extreme.

  • How do I get my iTunes library from my old mac to my new one?

    How do I get my iTunes and for that matter iPhoto libraries from my old mac 15" Tetherball iMac running OS 10.4.11 iTunes ver. 9.0.2 to my new iMac running 10.6.2 but also using iTunes ver. 9.0.2? I used the migration assistant, and a firewire cable, to move my "Music" folder to the new mac, but it insisted that I create a new user on the new mac for the data, rather than giving me a choice to move it into my user account. Also, based on some info from The Missing Manual and the Take Control books I created a separate user that is not an Administrator on the computer to be my primary login. When I simply tried to copy the music folder - iTunes failed to open. And because I am not an admin I can't access the new folder to copy it while I am in my non-admin user on the new computer. I have looked through as many of the posts as I could wade through and didn't see anything quite as simple as I think my problem is. Thanks, in advance.

    Did you use Migration Assistant to move all you contents or did you create a new account on the new Mac before transferring?
    I had a similar problem when I got my MBP as I created an account on the new Mac at the store to confirm that the MBP was ok. Mistake. I got how home and had loads of issues so I ended up reinstalling the system on the new MBP and using Migration Assistant to move ALL my stuff from the old to the new.
    Another choice is to clone your old Mac to an ext HD then swap that cloned HD with the HD in your new Mac.
    Regardless of which way you go make sure you de-authorize your old Mac before getting rid of it.

  • How can I transfer all my info from my old mac to a new one?

    how can I transfer all my info from my old macbook to my mac mini?
    My Mac mini chash about one month ago and I got it back from apple, I didnt have a time michine back up for this one but in my old mac I have almost all my files, so I want to transfer all the data to the Mac mini with no problem

    You can use migration assitant which is located in the Utility Folder under Applications. The compters can be connected via ethernet, fire wire, or wifi. My recommendation is not to use wifi.
    You run migration assistant on both machines and you can choose to transfer everything or just data.
    Another way is to use migration assistant to restore from a time machine backup.

  • How do i open a garageband project from my old mac to my new macbook?

    I have had my old macbook for 3 years and have just purchased a macbook pro os x.
    I saved garageband projects to a usb from my old mac and went to open them on my new but they wont open?
    Help please

    GarageBand doesn't reference audio files, it imports them all into the project package.
    One exception: If you copy regions between GB projects, the new project only refers to the old one, so if you delete the old projects, the audio is gone. Same with loops, you have to have them in your current GB installation for them to work.
    If you save a project "as Archive", all the referenced files are included.
