I have a 2007 macbook with a cracked unviewable screen and want to transfer files to a new imac.  Is there a way to do this?

I have a 2007 Macbook with a cracked (unviewable) screen.  I want to transfer all files from the Macbook to an Imac but have no way of seeing whats on the Macbook.  How can this be done??

Yes. Put the old MacBook into Target Disk Mode then connect it to your iMac using a FireWire cable. Note that if your iMac is a new one, you may need to use a FW400 (which is what the MacBook has) to FW800 adapter.
Once the two computers are connected, use the Migration Assistant to do the actual transfer.
Best of luck.

  • When a website takes too long to load I push reload/refresh, but when I pushed it, it ruieds the site making all the pictures disappear and have all the words to pushed to the left and I can't do anything on the site, is there some way to undo this?

    The times this happened was on facebook: there is no pictures, only words, but the words are all smashed to the left. The other time was on grooveshark. When I refreshed/reloaded everything disappeared and now when I go to that website it shows no music just about 3 words pushed to the left.

    Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

  • I have a 2007 MacBook 2GHz intel core 2 duo and i want to update to either snow leopard or lion what can ido if i have 10.4 already.

    I have a 2007 MacBook 2GHz intel core 2 duo and i want to update to either snow leopard or lion what can ido if i have 10.4 already. please help

    You can upgrade from 10.4 straight to 10.6 with no problems. Any program that runs under 10.4 should run under10.6. See this list for compatibility with 10.6: http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/ 
    You might have to upgrade some drivers for printers, etc.... And you will have to install Rosetta if you have any Power PC applications http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/snow_leopard_installing_rosetta/   I recently upgraded an older MacBook (model 1,1) straight from 10.4 to 10.6.
    Once you are at 10.6.8 Lion is still available from Apple. You will have to call Apple Customer Care 1-800-692-7753 or 1-800-676-2775. to purchase it. Then within 3 days you will get an email with a code which you can use to download Lion from the App Store.  The price is $19.99.
    You must have at least a model 2,1 MacBook. Lion will require at least 2gb of RAM but really needs 4gb to run smoothly.
    As for third party programs see this list for compatibility with 10.7 http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Also Lion doesn't run any Power PC programs. To see if you have any Power PC programs go to the Apple in the upper left corner and select About This Mac, then click on More Info. When System Profiler comes up select Applications under Software. Then look under Kind to see if any of your applications are listed as Power PC. Universal and Intel will run under Lion.
    Before Mac switched to Intel processors in 2006 they used Power PC processors from 1994 to 2005. Power PC 601 through 604, G3, G4 and G5. Applications written for the Power PC processors need the application called Rosetta to run on Intel processors. This was part of the Operating System in 10.4 and 10.5 but was an optional install in 10.6. With 10.7 Lion Apple dropped all support for Power PC applications.

  • I have a mac book with os 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to 10.7 or 10.8 for the use of i cloud

    i have a mac book with os 10.6.8 and want to upgrade to either 10.7 or 10.8 so i can use i cloud.  I have tried to download 10.8 but it says my system wont allow it.  I cant find a download for 10.7 on the apple web site... what to do from here ? thx

    Apple said that customers can still purchase a copy of Snow Leopard or Lion from its online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. For Lion you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL from the Mac App Store (requires SL 10.6.6+).

    Have a PowerBook G4 with software 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.  Got a new iPhone 5 - and seems iTunes does not recognize it. What kind of software update(s) do I need?

    None. An iPhone 5 requires Mac OS X 10.6.8 or newer to be synced from a Mac, which is above the maximum for a PowerBook G4(10.5.8.)

    I have a mac g5 with version 10.4.11 and wanted to know how to upgrade to version 10.5.8?

    If you call Apple at 1 800 MY APPLE, you can get a set of retail replacement discs of OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    Apple is supplying these on white DVDs for less than $20.
    You'll need to give them your Mac's serial number.
    See this link here.

    These were reported to work on any PowerMac G4 or G5.

  • HT3231 transfer files to my new iMac system 10.8.3, 9 pin firewire. Apple sold me FireWire 9-6 with a Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter.  This will not work, do i need a different cable?

    Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter
    Then it sounds like the FW800 to 400 adapter just gets in the way. You don't have FW800 case? on my MDD G4 I added and used FW800 controller and cases from OWC and Sonnet.

    Sorry Glen, but there is not. And you don't have to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  You need at a minimum of 10.5.8 (Leopard).

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/89/bd3e42ce98033be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
    You perform the data transfer in the following sequence:
    Plant
    Setup groups
    Work centers
    Routings
    You check the setup groups in SAP APO.
    You create the setup matrixes in SAP SCM.

  • I have a 2.4GHz DP Power Mac G5(ppc) and want to know if buying a new graphics card

    I need an editing computer and don't have the money to buy a new $1500 or so system. I have a 2.4GHz DP Power Mac G5 (ppc) and want to know if it would be worth buying a new graphics card and more RAM. I'm looking at around a $300 or so upgrade. I am saving for a new computer but need a computer to edit videos for a job I have NOW. I am currently editing on a intel core duo laptop with 6 G of RAM, the computer is taking a real beating and would also like to know if the upgrade would make the G5 run faster than the laptop I am using now.

    Hello,
    It won't make the G5 run much faster, but we need more info please.

  • 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.
    Regards
