Install an SSD from my old macbook pro into a new one without reformat - time machine problem!

Hi all!
I've bought a new macbook pro 13" 2012 to replace my old macbook pro 2010.
In my old macbook pro 2010 I was using an Sandisk 480 SSD that has everything working and installed, as I sold the old one, I put my hard drive and format it to sell to my friend.
In the new macbook 2012, I soon I receive it, I replace the HDD with my old SSD an everything works normally except some problems that I'm discovering now!
MY new macbook boot without no problems and until now every software that I've testes is working ok! Some of them ask me to register again but all of them is working.
My problems starts with my VPN configuration, the new macbook looses all my VPN connections, but as it wasn't so much (only 6) I'm reconfiguring them as I need it.
My worst problem is happening with time machine backup. When I start my mac with the tima machine disk, it ask me if I want to inherit the old backups and I click to accept it, but the systems spends a lot of time searching for the time machine disk and them shows an error telling that is impossible to write on the disk.
I've checked the disk in disk utility and it's mounted as read/write. But I've tried to create a new directory on the disk and receive an error of operation denied!
What or where should I look to solve this problem?? Thanks!

You can resolve that by installing the 10.6.6 Combo Updater instead of the smaller incremental updater.
+BTW, you should never use a version of OS X that's older than the version that shipped with the computer.+

  • How can I migrate iPhoto library from an old MacBook Pro to a new one?

    When the hard drive on my MacBook Pro 13 needed to be wiped clean, I restored all my files from Time Machine except for my iPhoto files. Not sure why my iPhoto library wasn't restored, but it wasn't, and I can't find it on my Time Capsule. I want to move my partial iPhoto library from my old MacBook Pro to my new one. I understand this is possible by linking them in some way. What is that way?

    There are three ways; using File Sharing over a network, transferring them via an external drive, or using FireWire Target Disk mode. If you use file sharing, use the AFP protocol. If you use an external drive, it or a partition or disk image on it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro  Mac OS X 10.7.4  2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

    you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
    Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
    Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
    There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

  • How to migrate from my old MacBook Pro to a new one with less disk space and an external hard drive?

    I have just bought a new MacBook Pro and an external hard drive.
    Yet I have problems migrating data from my old MacBook Pro (more internal disk space with around 500 GB data) to my new one (internal disk space less than 500 GB). 
    I have connected all 3 devices but it seems the Migration Assistant does not have an option for us to select to migrate to an external hard drive.
    Any other way to do it?
    Kindly help me.  Thanks.

    For your situation, Target disk mode may be the most efficient method:

  • How do I transfer CS5.5 from an old macbook pro to a new one via firewire?

    My old MacBook Pro fried its graphics card and I need to transfer all of my data across to my new macBook Pro. I have everything backed up on a hard drive but when I try to open it it says that i can't because t is on a Time Machine Back-up. How do I get it to open? Do i need to get a new serial number? Not sure what to do from here.

    You need to reinstall on your new MacBook Pro from your original media (if you purchased a DVD), or from the backup you made of the installation files.
    You cannot successfully migrate CS5.5 using FireWire. That would not be successful. You can use the same serial number you had before. However, if you used all your two activations, you may have to Adobe to remove its listing of your old Mac so you don't lose one activation.

  • HT4889 Is there a way to abort a transfer of data from an old MacBook Pro to a new one when you're using Wi-Fi?

    Is there a way to abort a transfer of data from an old MacBook to a new MacBook Pro when you're using Wi-Fi?

    If you are sure you want to to do it: command + option + esc, then and Force Quit.
    ethernet is much faster than wifi.

  • Using my boot hard drive from an older Macbook pro into a new one?

    Hi,
    I put my hard drive from my older Macbook pro 15" 2.16 Ghz Core2 Duo computer (Mac 10.6.4) into my new Macbook pro 2.4 GHz (2010) as my boot drive. Since then I've upgraded to 10.6.6 and everything seems fine.
    My concern is that since my OS was installed on a different computer, I might not have all the proper drivers for my new machine. Can this be the case? Does the OS install all drivers for all models all the time? Sometimes I wonder if my graphics card drivers are installed because it seems slower than I expect, but the graphics card shows up in System Profiler.
    Thanks!
    Jason

  • Fastest way to transfer information from my old MacBook Pro to a new one?

    What is fastest way to transfer data between MacBook pros? It takes forever on wi-if.

    Sometimes the fastest way would be just to transfer only your files via a external hard drive via drag and drop methods into the same named accounts on the new machine. This is especially useful if you want to avoid corruption of the old machine and have a chance to clean house of older files.
    By the time one fiddles around finding a Firewire cable and adpaters, a standard USB 3 external hard drive could be done already and be gotten at any local computer or office store.
    Also Retina's have SSD's and any data on them is not scrubbable like hard drives can be. Scrubbing SSD's would involve the entire drive being filled and this would wear them out prematurely as they have limited writes to each sector.
    If you want to use Migration or Setup Assistant, there is some element of risk involved because your copying the corruption over from the previous machine if it exists. If you know the previous software is fine on the older machine, then you can use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the whole OS X boot parititon to the external USB drive, then hook this up to the new machine and run Migration/Setup Assistant against it, just like you would in Firewire Target Disk Mode if you don't want to wait to get a Thunderbolt to Firewire adpater from Apple.
    If you already have the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and a cable/adpater to the old Mac, then that's the fastest way.

  • HT4889 Transferring files from my old Macbook Pro to the new one takes over 30 hours?!?!

    How is that even possible? I am trensferring the files using a tunderbolt cable and the wifi on the source computer is switched off to avoid trying to transfer the files over wifi. At first I thought the estimation was inaccurate and hope that when I leave it overnight it will be done by the morning but it wasn't, nor the morning after. I can see there is progress but it is so tremendously slow, it absolutely strains my nerves goven the fact that I have porpietary software on my ild computer that I really nee dto use now, and I am afraid what will happen if I disconnect.
    It's been saying "less than a minute left" for almost an hour now but nothing is happening. Can/should I try to restart?

    Ah, I see, you are right. My old MacBook is from mid 2010, so it simply has a mini display port, I just assumed it is the same thing since the cable fit and the computers recognized each other.
    I wish I knew that before I started, as there wasn't really anything I could do at this point but wait for two days only to get stuck on the last minute. The only "guiding" message was on my new computer advising me to connect via ethernet cable. Ironically it showed the message on my new MacBook Pro, which doesn't even have an ethernet port...

  • Is it possible to move my previous conversations from the Messages app from my old Macbook Pro to my new one?

    Both are running the latest Messages 8.0.  New messages are coming in fine on both computers but I would like to have my previous conversations moved over to my new computer if possible.

    Are these active messages or ones you have saved? If active, make a new post and the new computer should pick them up if the setup is the same.

  • How do I transfer files from my old MacBook Pro to my New MacBook Pro?

    I am trying to transfer some files, not all, from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried to use Migration Assistant, but it doesn't let me choose what I want to transfer (only generic things like "users" and "files and folders"). I have tried to use Firewire. Now here is the funny thing. When I put my old mac in target mode it doesn't appear on my new mac anywhere. But, when I put my new mac in target mode, it pops right up on the dashboard and in finder. The problem is I have tried using my new mac as the target and just place the files into the icon, but the don't stay after I eject. I get a prompt that says downloading and when all files and apps are transferred I turn off my new mac then turn it back on and nothing. I've done search after search and repeated this process 3 times and nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

    Time Machine will not "overwrite". New back ups are added to what is there, without erasing.
    Connect the Time Machine back up, double click on the icon and navigate through its contents - the back ups are chronological, so you just select the date then go through the contents just like on any other drive. You can select any files you want and drag and drop on the new Mac's desktop (or anywhere else).

  • I want to transfer my iPhoto from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have a firewire or I could also do it from my TimeCapsule. Would one be a better method than the other?

    I want to transfer my iPhoto from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have a firewire or I could also do it from my TimeCapsule. Would one be a better method than the other?

    Hi brotherbrown,
    A direct FireWire transfer (especially if it's 800 to 800) is going to be the fastest method. TimeCapsule would work, if you connect to it via Ethernet, via wireless it would be quite slow (especially if you have a large library).
