Is there a way to migrate info from one mac to another and still be able to choose which apps you want taken?

I have an IMAC and I want to transfer some of my applications to my newly referbished Mac Book Pro.  The problem is that when I use Migration Assistant, I am unable to choose which applications I want to migrate, the Mac Book is unable to migrate the entire library, due to the size of its hard drive.  I hope there is a way do this.  Help, Please!

  • Is there a way to transfer bookmarks from one Mac to another

    Is there a way to transfer Safari bookmarks from from my desktop 10.41 to my laptop Leopard 10.6
    thanks Len

    On the old computer, choose Go to Folder from the Finder’s Go menu, provide ~/Library/Safari/ as the path, and move the Bookmarks file to the corresponding location on the new one.

  • Any way to migrates Notes from one iPhone to another

    Is there any way to migrates Notes from one iPhone to another without backup restore?

    HI Amir,
    Checkboxes evaluate as TRUE when checked, FALSE when empty.
    For your example:
    C1: =IF(B1,A1,"")
    Works with text (as shown), numbers, or the results of formulas in the source cells.
    The last argument, "" inserts a null string in the cell containing the formula, making the cell appear 'blank'.
    Regards,

  • Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?

    Is there a way to move files from one folder to another without copying and pasting and then going back to delete the original?  The cut and paste function is not available and there's no "move to" function.  Am I missing something?  It was so easy with Windows.

    Drag the files, or press Option when pasting them; this accesses the Move To function.

  • Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information, so that I don't lose purchases made by my iPhone when I sync?

    The AOL address I was using for my iTunes account has been deleted due to me not signing in for awhile and I'm afraid that I will lose all of my purchases made from my iphone when I sync it into iTunes for a much needed update and so that I can (hopefully) transfer its data to my new iPhone 4...
    The only time I have synced my current iPhone was when I activated it but since then I have not been able to sync with my computer and now have a new one.
    Sorry about the garbled way this is written but I desperately need help:
    1, Is there a way of shifting purchases from one account to another with the same billing information?
    Or
    2, is there a way of recovering my old account and changing the details?
    Any other help is greatly appreciated

    You don't need to access your e-mail account, just get into your Apple account and change the e-mail address. If you can't access your Apple account, then you have a bigger issue to contend with.

  • Is there any way to pass value from one SWF to another ?

    I am doing project using flash, now I cant pass a value from one SWF to another, is there any way to pass value from one SWF to another.
    thanks

    Hi,
    Just to confirm here do you simply want to communicate between two SWFs without involving Flash Media Server. If this is the case one good way of doing it is to use a local connection. It can be used for direct communication between two separate instances of the flash player. However if you want to involve multiple clients sharing a common variable then you may have to use Shared Object for this. Please let me know what is the actual use case, is it multiple clients sharing a common variable or different player instances communicating between themselves.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek

  • Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

    Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.  Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

    I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
    My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

    Reinstall the software properly. Migration is useless due to the specifics of the activation system.

  • Easy way to migrate users from one machine to another?

    I have an iMac lab where students have their own local accounts. The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD. New school year, new seating charts, some users must move. Is there an easy way to migrate a user and all their stuff from one machine to another? We do have Remote Desktop BTW. I'm not finding an obvious answer so I guess there isn't but I sure wish there were. I suppose they could copy anything they want onto the server. set up a new account on the new machine and pull it all back off the server, but that's not "easy".

    Hi
    +The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD.+
    This could be a telling statement although without further information it would be hard to say?
    What I'm assuming from this is that current mac clients are bound to Active Directory. This would mean that user accounts exist on the Server and not locally. In which case there would be nothing to transfer other than the local admin account - again assuming you want the applications installed on the current client macs transferring over to the new client macs.
    To be honest it would be easier and less hassle to create a new local admin account and install compatible software fresh. Use the same tools you used to 'bind' the old client macs to Active Directory for the new client macs.
    +We do have Remote Desktop BTW+
    You could utilize this to (a) name all the new mac clients with appropriate hostnames and (b) 'bind' new mac clients by issuing dsconfigad from the command line. If this seems like too much hard work then you could simply exercise your legs and walk round each one in turn.
    Even if your current mac clients are configured with Mobile Accounts (locally cached network accounts) this would still not be a problem as you can manually or automatically sync the locally cached networked home folder back to the server and then log in with that account again on the new mac clients. The home folder should then be cached locally.
    This assumes you've configured Directory Utility in the appropriate way.

  • Is there a way to transfer EVERYTHING from one Fathom to another?

    I need an easy way to transfer all of my programs and settings from one Fathom to another.  Basically, my current phone's screen is having problems so I got a certified replacement one.  Now I would like to be able to do a sort of system image of the old phone and put it onto the new phone. I have alot of different apps on the phone and I would rather not have to go through the process of installing each one and configuring it (assuming I can even find some of them now that the Windows Marketplace has closed down).
    There is lots of documentation on how to backup and restore contacts, but I haven't found anything useful on doing a complete system transfer.
    Anyone got a way?
    thanks in advance!!!

        Thanks so much for your inquiry!
    It's nice to get a replacement device, but it isn't so nice to try to set the phone up to your liking again!
    The only thing I can think of in order to get a majority of your items back on your device is Active Sync.

  • Is there a way to copy attributes from one composition to another?

    I'm using After Effects 7.0
    I'd like to copy the same Zoom attributes from one composition to 30 photographs.
    In Final Cut, you can copy attributes from one clip to another. Or from one still photo to another.
    Is there a way to do that in AE 7?
    Thanx
    Mike

    EDIT: I see you edited your question, so I am editing my reply.
    To copy the scale of a layer, open the main twirl of that layer and you'll see the Transform properties group. Open the twirl for that, and you'll see Anchor Point, Position, Scale, etc. Click on "Scale" and copy it (Edit > Copy, or Control+C on Windows/Command+C on Mac). Then select the other layers and just paste (Edit > Paste, or Control+C on Win/Command+V on Mac).
    Such a broad question
    Anytime you add a new item you imported to the timeline or composition panels, it becomes a new layer.
    Anytime you duplicate an existing layer (Edit > Duplicate), you get a new layer.
    Anytime you split a layer (Edit > Split) you get a new layer.
    Anytime you copy a whole layer (target the name in the timeline panel) and paste it, you get a new layer.
    You also create layers when you use the Shape tools, text tools, or create a new solid layer, etc.
    This list could go on and on, so instead, I invite you to read the After Effects Help section on Creating layers specifically, and the whole chapter on Layers and properties, in general. If anything isn't clear for you, then let us know.

  • Is there a way to transfer money from one account to another

    please help

    No, you can't transfer an account's balance from one account to another account, nor can you use it to gift content to another account. If it's a newly redeemed card which you haven't yet used any of its balance then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can move it over to the other account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Is there a way to migrate data from one user account to another simply?

    Recently one of our employees has left the company. This user had pertinent images saved to their profile and we are needing to migrate those images to a new profile (Kiosk) so users can access the needed files. In InDesign I'm told it pulls file paths in order to pull up different images and documents. Is there a way to transfer these files without breaking InDesign? Or is there a simple way to recreate the file paths in InDesign so that we may move the user's information to a new account and recreate the file paths as soon as possible.
    I was referred here from - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1397569

    It would be through scripting. If no one else answers here, try using the InDesign Scripting forum:

  • Is there any way to move songs from one account to another?

    I accidentally bought an album on iTunes on the wrong account. In order to download it onto my iPod, I think that all of the songs from the other account would be deleted. Is there any way to just move the album to the other account (which is on the same computer), or use two accounts on one iPod?

    Control-click the songs in iTunes, show them in the Finder, copy them to /Users/Shared/, log into the other account, and import them into iTunes.

  • Just bought ipodtouch. Is there a way to "go back' from one page to another? thanks....

    I've read the entire ipodtouch manual twice; am still baffled by a few things--1. is there no way to return to a previous "page" when looking at app contents?
              2.  how does one delete a magazine or book from those apps?  thanks so much for any help for this slow learner.

    1. With a lot of apps, swiping to the left advances, to the right goes backward.
    2. Hold your finger on the book and when a circle appears either with a minus or x tap it.
    Of course, some apps operate differently which may be the reason for not finding "universal" instructions.
