I had a G4 laptop purchased August 2004, placed captions on all the pictures in iPhoto. I cannot transfer the pictures with the captions to my 2011 MacBook pro. Any solutions?

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.

how do i transfer from ipad to macbook pro

iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
With the iPad connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select transfer purchases from - the name of your iPad.

Import iPhoto events from iMac to MacBook Pro.

I have an iMac and MacbookPro. My iMac is the "mothership" of the two. When I download photos or music, I always download it to my iMac. In the past, I was able to transfer events from iPhoto on my Mac to my MacBook Pro. For some reason, I can't do it. In iphoto, the left hand colum, there was a way to transfer photos, but I can't. How can I import iPhoto events from my iMac to my Macbookpro?

If you always import to the iMac then the simple way is to back up the Library on the iMac to the MBP.
Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

Songs' library transfer from nano to MacBook Pro

Just bought a macbook pro 13" retina transfering from a 7yr old dell pc realized that only half of the songs in the itunes transfered correctly. My specific question is: Is there a best way to transfer all of your songs' library from your ipod nano to the itunes in my macbook pro? i found similar questions in the forum but date back to 2006 and I would like to have more up to date info..Thanks!!

From your nano to MacBook? If you still have the Dell, you can also go from Dell to MacBook...
To answer your question, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to your Mac. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your MacBook's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
NOTE: For songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

Transfer from iPad to Macbook pro

Hello, I use to have a pc and it died, i bought a macbook pro and i would now like to transfer everything i have on my iPad (music, photos, etc ) onto my macbook but i don't know how to and my old computer is completely dead i can't get it to turn on, so i can't have access to my old files.
Does any one has had this problem before ? I synchronised my ipad with the new itunes library, but only the things i bought via itunes store were transfered
is there any way i could retrieve all my music and pictures ?
Thank you for your help

The iTunes content sync is one-way: computer to device. Apple makes no provision to extract synced content from your iPad. While you can "transfer" purchased content, non-iTunes purchased content & photos synced to your iPad require third-party software to extract from your iPad:

Transfer from Powerbook to MacBook Pro

When I get my MacBook Pro will there be a problem using Migration Assistant to transfer my settings, files, etc. from my PowerBook to my MacBook Pro? I guess there's no reason it shouldn't...just didn't know if the settings from a non-Intel Mac would jibe with those of an Intel Mac!

Migration Assistant is a mixed bag -- on the one hand, it does a great job of transferring over a wide variety of settings & preferences, mail accounts, etc.
On the other hand, I've had some problems with it. After using it, I had the following problems:
1. Screwed up printer drivers (solution: resinstall from OSX DVD)
2. Spotlight index not working (solution : force rebuild of entire index using terminal)
3. It copied over some KEXTs and Login Items that were not universal binary Stuffit, etc. (solution : look at system.log for errors on boot, and remove or update those items).
A coworker and I both got MBPs this week. I used Migration Assistant -- he copied his files over by hand. Neither way was perfect. I had the problems listed above, whereas he would occasionally have the "oops, I forgot to copy my file" problem.

Best way to transfer from mid 2012 macbook pro retina to new mid 2014 macbook pro

I have used the Setup Assistant during setup of OS X and I would use a current Time Machine back up to point to during Setup Assistant. I have also manually copied data and apps over from another Mac while on my network. Both take some time and both were equally successful.
So, you have a choice after backing up your current Mac:
Have both Macs on your network, run setup on your new Mac and afterwards manually copy files from the old to the new Mac.
Run setup on your new Mac and use the Setup Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine back up all your user accounts, data and settings.
Question on a similar line except I wanted to partition the drive that came on the new Mid 2014 MBPro (2.8 GHz, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM). Migrating from the old computer b/u seems pretty straight forward, but once the drive that come with the new MBPro is partitioned an install of OS X needs to be done. Here's what I did, I installed the Mavericks I had purchased from the App Store when it came out. Now, from reading here in the Communities, some have indicated the shipped Mavericks version is not the same as the App Store version. Now that the shipped Mavericks is history (after the partitioning) should I try somehow to restore that from the Recovery HD/process? Or ???
This isn't my first rodeo, so I just went full speed ahead and did the partitioning and copied the former MBPro (early 2011) disk created by Carbon Copy Cloner over to the new boot partition. It was suggested that an Erase and Install OS X could be done, but I don't see how that would bring the shipped Mavericks version for this new MBPro, unless the Recovery HD suite of utilities would go and grab that from Apple via Internet; which would be fairly lengthy since it would be via Internet connection.
I'll back up a bit here for a second... I"m not experiencing any problems (kernel panics, etc.) but not sure if the system now is as it should be. Hindsight being what it is I should have made a CCC copy of the shipped volume of Mavericks; if this is an issue.
The system seems to be running fine, and some of my "issues" (for lack of a better term) could be just the way the new Mid 2014 MBPro is handling things - like memory allocation (i.e. using close to the 16 GB most of the time) and kernel_task using 1 GB of memory - more at times). Possibly if I wasn't a regular watcher of Activity Monitor I would just be plodding along, since the system seems to be working fine. Occasionally some apps or their processes take a longer than I feel is what should be normal to do, hence looking at the Activity Monitor to see what is going on.
Sorry for the long ramble. Trying to see if I really have a problem that would necessitate a reinstall of Mavericks via Recovery HD; which could take up some valuable computer work time (which I'm also using posting here <grin>).
Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggesting, etc. Also, to the person who posted to my other question on this another thanks for those suggestions. None of which I've done - yet.
Take care all - and thank you again for all the great minds who make these Community Boards work.

Transfer video from ipad2 to macbook pro?

Is there a way to transfer video from ipad2 to macbook pro? I took some videos and would like to transfer it so I can edit it on imovie. I'm surprised that iphoto doesn't recognize videos to transfer from ipad2 to macbook pro. It seems like it only does it for photos. Videos should be included.

Sunflower5-
Reading your question, I made a short video on my iPad 2. It showed up in the Photos camera roll.
Running iPhoto and connecting the iPad to my Mac Pro, I selected the iPad under DEVICES. The video was at the end of the photos, I selected it and clicked on "Import Selected". I then dragged the imported video to my desktop and it played in QuickTime Player when I double-clicked it.
Then I tried it with Aperture. The dragged copy appeared to play in QuickTime Player, but the screen was black. However an Exported Version played correctly.

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).

How to transfer photos from itouch to macbook pro

Hello,
long story short, my iphoto library got deleted before the transfer was complete to aperture.......i now have 2000 corrupted photos. i only have one back up. ther are all still on my itouch (4th gen with 4.3.5). i need a way to transfer them to my macbook pro (mid 2009 2.53 ghz running lion 10.7.1) i have tried just imported via iphoto and aperture but all it does is transfer the files that my ipod has saved on it, the camera roll i think its called. what would be the best way to get all of them?

The backup of the ipod only contains the photos from the camera roll. You might be able to transfer the other photos using 3rd party software like Touchcopy for example.

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).

How can I transfer my email accounts and emails from my old macbook pro with ML to my new macbook pro with ML

How can I transfer my email accounts and emails from my old macbook pro with ML to my new macbook pro with ML

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.
