I need to get my old calendar data into my new calendar on my new MacBook Pro without erasing what is in there now, anyone know how to do it?
I do not have access to my old computer (can boot in safe mode, other wise nothing on the screen, even with an external monitor) to export the old calendars. I have the old calendar files on my new computer. The titles of the old calendars are in the sidebar of the new calendar app but none of the old events are there. I must not have set up correctly initially. I was using OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 previously and now use Yosemite 10.10.2 both computers are Mac Book Pros, the new one is the mid 2014 15" Retina.
Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details. I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud. Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough). I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow.

My new MacBook Pro with 10.8.4 does not seem to work with my Hitachi multimedia projector which works find with my older MacBook running 10.6.8. Is there anything I can do to get the projector to recognize my Mac or is it the other way around? (It would be nice to just carry one machine instead of two. Besides it's not a good advertisement for the new MacBook Pro!
Are you using the same cable and input connector with both systems?
Are you using the same (or corresponding) settings on both systems? -
Need to get photos and music from iphone to new macbook pro
I gave my old macbook pro to my daughter and bought a new one. However, i need to find out how to get my music, photos, etc from my iphone onto my new computer. When I try to sync i get the message my iphone contents will be erased and replaced with computer's content. Help!
Photos can be offloaded to any computer. If a computer does not have iTunes installed, it treats the iPhone as a camera and gives an option to save the photos.
Anyway, photo's aren't synced are they. They are always stored on the iPhone and never a part of a backup. -

I get this error message when I try to back up my laptop:
' Time machine could not complete the backup. The backup disc image "/Volumes/Data/Lou Ann Buesing's Mac Book Pro. sparse bundle' is already in use. "
Anyone know how to fix it?Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?
If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

I can't install my old logic 8 on my new macbook pro. It says it does not support powerpc applications anymore. what do i need to do?? this is ridiculous!!!
Logic 8 will probably run on your new machine but the installation program contains some older PPC code for pre Intel Macs. This was not a problem as all OSX versions contained the "Rosetta" PPC emulation, that is, up until Lion when all PPC emulation was dropped.
There are ways to do this however, try searching Google for: Installing Logic 8 under Lion or Mountain Lion. -

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?
I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.
So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Daughter's homework assignment needs adobe flash plug in. Just got my new MacBook Pro and scare to download program if it compromises the security of laptop. What do I do in this situation?
OS X will automatically block versions of Flash that are known to be unsafe. As long as Flash is kept up to date, it's reasonably safe. You can minimize your exposure to Flash content by installing the "ClickToFlash" or "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension. Flash elements will then load only when clicked.

I want to make recovery partition on my new macbook pro without loosing my data
i want to make recovery partition on my new macbook pro without loosing my data
You already have one. Hold command r keys and boot the machine into it to see.
If your meaning you want another partition to boot your machine normally, like a cloned OS X partition, you can do that this way.
1: Make sure you have less than 50% of your boot OS X partition filled with data, this can be done looking at Activity Monior.
2: Another thing, all the OS X data needs to be on the top part of the drive, to make room at the bottom for the second 50% paritition. You can't always tell this easily but you'll find out shortly.
3: Use Apple's BootCamp software and create the second 50% partition on the drive and then exit it without proceeding further. If it fails or is not large enough, then the #2 above problem is evident and you need to clone and reverse clone from a external drive to shift all the data back up.
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."
4: If you have a second 50% partition on the drive, next head to Disk Utility and select the second partition and change it's format to OS X Extended Journaled and the name to Macintosh HD 2 (name optional of course)
5: Next download Carbon Copy Cloner and clone the first partition to the second, make sure it's a PURE CLONE in preferences as the default is to save the states between updates.
6: Reboot the machine holding the option/alt key down, Startup Manager launches and your second boot partition is there.
This method provides a second bootable clone while portable for excellent sofware protection, however if the drive fails both parititions are lost, so external clones on extra hardware are of course needed also. -

There is no way to get around activation lock, you must recover your password for the AppelID that it is locked to:
