Mac Mini to Mac Pro

Hi All,
I'm planning in getting a new Mac Pro.
But the question is
Can I transfer my Mac Mini Applications (Just as Photoshop, QuarkXpress,Lightroom (over 30 Applications) onto the Mac Pro?
Or Do I have to do all over again?
If I can transfer from Mac Mini to Mac Pro, What will I do? or theres a website that do step by step?
Many thanks for taking your time in reading this!

Yes, you can do this with Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322
A lot of people in these forums suggest that you re-install you apps. But I have used Migration Assistant on a number of occasions without a problem.

  • What is better Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Exel

    I am working on Macbook pro retina for around 16 hours a day,  it is ok but the screen is to small. I am opening about 25 - 30 EXCEL windows, 20 - 25 safari windows at the same time. Excel windows are small, they only show 40 rows and S column   Now I am considering buying  iMac 5k ( but the screen is only 27", however a very high resolution but I think that fonts and digits displayed may be too small ). I am also considering Mac Mini or Pro with 40" 4K TV ( 4k computer monitors are 27 - 31" , so better idea would be purchasing iMac 5k ) . The problem is that 40 - 42" TV don't have Display Port ( I can't find  it anywhere )
    Please help me to choose what would suit my needs better. I need large screen to work comfortably with an Excel sheets.  What is better? Mac Mini or Mac Pro and 4K 40" screen or iMac 5K for work with Excel ?. The other problem I have is that when I spend  16 hours at work with retina macbook , my eyes are ok. Using the  30'' Dell screen 2560/1440 my eyes are tired after 2 hours.
    Thanks for your help on advance
    Best regards

    Currently you can only get 4 K at 30 Hz via HDMI. Some users have reported jerky curser movement because of the 30 Hz.
    I would go for the 5K iMac. You can add a second screen at 4K.
    FaceTime HD camera
    Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels on an external display
    Support for extended desktop and video mirroring modes
    The Mac Mini supports:
    Support for up to two displays at 2560 by 1600 pixels, both at millions of colors
    Thunderbolt digital video output
    Native Mini DisplayPort output
    DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter (sold separately)
    Dual-link DVI output using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter (sold separately)
    HDMI video output
    Support for 1080p resolution at up to 60Hz
    Support for 3840-by-2160 resolution at 30Hz
    Support for 4096-by-2160 resolution at 24Hz
    The 2013 Mac Pro can use three and more displays:

  • Mac mini to Mac pro file transfers via router

    I am trying to transfer file from a Mac mini to Mac pro via a router. Both are running Leopard. I can see the other mac and open folders but I cannot transfer file. I have set up permission for file sharing and the info on the drive reflects that. I should have permission to both read and write. The firewall id turned off. I am running a Linksys WRT54GS router.
    Any ideas?
    Larry

    This is how it works on Snow Leopard (simplest way):
    On the mini open two Finder windows.
    On window #1 click on the Mac Pro entry on the left side.  You should see user icons on the right side.  Double click on the user entry to which you are going to transfer files.  You should see the drop box.
    On window #2 find the files or folders you want to transfer.  Drag and drop them onto the drop box in window #1.  The files should copy over to the Mac Pro.
    Log into the Mac Pro.  Use the finder to move files from the username/Public/Drop Box to their final destination.

  • Which mac pc is good for iPad development in between mac mini or mac book pro

    which mac pc is good for iPad development in between mac mini or mac book pro so give me details which is much more better for ios development

    The best thing for iOS development is your imagination. Coming up with unique creative apps is what’s most important. I've had a mini since they first came out, and I think it's the best desktop around. However you may not want a desktop because you're more mobile when you work on apps. With the mini you can use a much bigger screen (I use a 80 inch) but the laptop has a slightly better processor (if you decide to pay extra for it). I'm learning app development also and a laptop would drive me crazy, but it's a personal choice, so you first need to decide where you are going to be while you're developing. If it’s at home or a office then the mini might be better. The mini and the macbook pro are both two incredible products. I don’t think you can make a wrong decision as far as which one handles app design better. They’re both great in that department.

    Your advice did not help me. I also installed 10.7.4 combo but the situation is the same.
    my internet connection is ok, mail is ok, but app store after 3 resets does not recognize my ID and it says "connection is not possible". Why? I have the same problem in both my mac mini late 2009 and mac book air 2010? Is it a problem of 10.7.4 update? I have to solve this problem and how can i return to 10.7.3 if my last backup was not with 10.7.3???thank you for your kind collaboration...

  • My airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

    my airport time capsule will no longer allow our iPhones or vizio smart tvs to connect to it, though my iPad air mac mini and mac air connect fine. Why is this? does a recent software update have anything to do with it?

    What model is your TC? What is the firmware?
    I recommend you do a factory reset and use short names.. not apple recommended names.
    Short.. 2-20 characters .. less than 10 even better.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    Set fixed channels for 2.4ghz wireless.. test with 11, 6, 1 at least.
    That often helps.. if not and is old, ie Gen1-4 go back to 7.6.1 firmware which is far more solid.

  • We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

    We have moved to another city and we would like to communicate to our friends and family back home via Skype. What webcams work well with our home computer, a vintage 2005 Mac mini with Mac OS X, version 10.5.8?

    You 2005 mini shipped with a PowerPC G4 CPU ranging between 1.25 and 1.5 (late sept 2005) Ghz. PowerPC is not Intel. This mini will not run current releases of Skype for the following reasons:
    The current version of Skype claims support for OS X 10.5.8 -- but wants a 1Ghz Intel processor just for voice calls. Their recommendation for video calls is a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo Intel CPU and a broadband connection of at least, 4Mbps down and 512Kbps up. Skype requirements.

  • Do Mac Mini and Macbook Pro Retina use the exact same i7 processor?

    If not why do I get the exact same info from both computers:
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3615QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
    Processor Speed: 2.3 GHz
    Number of Processors: 1
    Total Number of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
    L3 Cache: 6 MB
    Isn't it strange that they are using a mobile CPU in a desktop computer?

    One way to tel is the the specs for the laptop
    http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    Says it has
    Intel Iris Graphics
    While the specs for the Mac Mini

    Say it has

  • Mac Mini and Macbook Pro

    Hello there,
    I wonder if you could help. I have a new macbook pro with the largest HD I can get and faster processor. It's a lovely piece of kit. But the problem is that that I edit a lot of films and have lots of stuff already on it so I have almost maxed out my HD space. I don't want to delete anything and I know that I will add more stuff onto it.
    I thought of having a separate machine on which I can store and manage all my media - use this to edit films as well as store movies for my ipad.
    Could the Mac Mini be the answer, plugging it into my macbook? Or should I just buy a whole new machine and delete all the raw films from my first macbook and only store films on the new one?
    I don't want a massive display or anything as my place is short on space.
    I hope you can help!!
    Bianca

    I may be misunderstanding what you are wanting to accomplish but it sounds like you need more disk storage rather than another computer. Getting two larger capacity external hard drives, one for your video files and one for backup should solve your full internal drive problem. If you are storing irreplaceable video you would want to get another drive so you would have two backups. Newer drives don't take up much space. For example, my 2TB LaCie Quadra is relatively small (4 5/8" x 7 5/8" x 1 5/8").
    The Mac Mini's specs aren't really heavy video editing friendly if you are wanting a second computer for that purpose. You would want to buy the fastest specs your budget and space allows.

  • Share cinema display between Mac Mini and MacBook Pro

    Hello -
    I am keen to get an LED cinema display to use on my new MacBook Pro - but I share my study with my children - so want to give them a MacMini to use.
    How easy is it two swap between the MacMini and the MacBook Pro ? I guess there is only one input in the LED cinema display ???
    Thanks in advance.
    Andrew

    Interesting - I have the same idea: sharing a 24" cinema display between a Macbook Pro for myself and a Mac mini for my wife.
    The only problem I see is that the display doesn't have any Firewire ports. So if I want to use an external harddrive (or a mini-DV camcorder) on both computers when connected to the display, then I'd have to plug that into the computer instead of the display ...

  • Will a current Mac Mini or MacBook Pro run Final Cut Pro 5.1.4?

    My old G5 is really showing its age ...
    I have FCS 1 - which was Universal Binary (Both PowerPC and Intel).
    So will my old FCP work on a Lion, Intel Mac Mini? (Or Macbook Pro, for that matter!).
    Thanks.

    So will any Snow Leopard version do?
    And is it still available in the App Store, and for how much??
    (I can't tell as I'm stillon Leopard...)
    Thanks.

  • Mac mini to MacBook pro

    I would like to sync the contents of my new mac-mini to my macbook pro. How can I do this "on the cheap"? I see the migration tool doesnt do that...
    thanks so much...
    Steve
    PS-The min is OS 10.5x
    the Macbook is OS 10.4.11

    Well, then, that means you want a clone of the one on the other. You have several alternatives.
    1. Get an external hard drive and clone the source machine to the external drive. Move the drive to the target machine and boot from the external clone. Erase the target drive and clone from the external drive to the target machine.
    2. Connect the two machines together via Firewire cable and boot the target machine into Target Disk Mode. Boot the source machine normally. After startup the target machine's disk drive will appear on the source machine's Desktop. Clone the source machine to the target machine.
    3. If you have a local network and both machines are on the network then activate File Sharing on the source or the target. You can then sync files using any backup utility. However, you will not be able to clone since both machines will be booted into their respective systems and you cannot clone onto an active startup volume.d But you can sync Home folders.
    4. If your syncing only the Home folders, then you can do this via Target Disk Mode, on your network, or using an external drive as a go-between or a USB flash drive if your Home folder is small enough to fit on one.)
    Suitable backup/sync utilities include:
    Backup Software Recommendations
    My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
    2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
    3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
    4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
    5. Carbon Copy Cloner (Donationware)
    6. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
    7. Intego Personal Backup (Commercial)
    8. Data Backup (Commercial)
    The following can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
    1. Apple Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
