Macintosh transfer over the presets and preferences WITHOUT transferring the ENTIRE HD with "target disc mode

I'm picking up the new 2014 MBP tomorrow so should be installing over the weekend / next week.
I've been currently using a 2011 MBP with OS 10.7.5, using the "home" folder, which I will NOT be doing on the new one MBP with Mavericks.
What is the best way to transfer over the presets and preferences I want, WITHOUT transferring the ENTIRE HD with "target disc mode" or something similar? I am FRESH installing all  APPLICATIONS.
Mainly it's the presets and preferences I want to transfer.
Thanks in advance.

  • Is there a way to login to Iplanet 5.2 by using a URL that contains the login and password (without using the form) ?

    I would like to be able to login to Iplanet using a URL like this:
    http://server:port/<exec>?user=john&password=doe
    or like http://user:password@server:port/<some_params>
    I knew how to do it with SIMS 4, but with Iplanet 5.2 I just don't have a clue. Do you know how to do that?

    http://server:port/login.msc?user=john&password=doe
    This works for me.

    Hi am having problems with iTunes,I have all my music on my 4s but I bought the iPhone 5 today.is there any way that I can transfer music over to my new phone without using the library?as it doesn't seem to be on my PC anymore.i reset my pc and save my iTunes to a hard drive but can't access it.Need help please

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • I would like to transfer a playlist and associated music from one computer on a home sharing network to another without transferring the entire library.  How?

    I would like to transfer a playlist and associated music from one computer to another in a home sharing network without transfering the entire itunes library.  How would I do that?

    you can transfer playlists using home sharing but it won't copy the actual music files within to the other machine.
    however, i believe TuneRanger can do that.

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

  • How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

    How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
    I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
    I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
    Thanks!

    You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:
    Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

  • How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

    Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
    The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
    Thanks!!
    PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

    The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
    How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
    So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
    On the next tab where you set IP address.
    Click the renew IP address.
    It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
    What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
    In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

  • I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?

    I have an old project with AVCHD clips and I want to import the clips again with surround sound. How can I relink the project clips to the re-imported ones without doing the project from the begining?
    I have a sony handicam and I imported the clips to iMovie and they lost quality and converted the audio to stereo. I want to import the project to final cut X and import the AVCHD in 1080p and surround sound and export the movie in bluray. Can I relink the clips without editing everything again?
    thanks!

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing. If you want to remove them all then normally you could just sync an empty folder (in terms of photos) to the iPad, but as you don't want to sync at the moment you can't do that.
    You can reset the iPad back to factory settings and start from scratch with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings

  • Is there a way to zoom images in and out without changing the frame?

    It is easy to move an image around within a frame without touching the frame, but I have not found a way to zoom in and out without touching the frame. I'm working with a lot of images (Indesign CS6 for PC) and I need to do this a lot. Thanks.

    I don't know what is the correct terminology, but none of those things does what I want.  With the Content Grabber I can move the image and see where it is going and place it where I want it, and the frame does not move and is not changed in any way. I want something that does exactly the same thing with "zooming" in and out on the image.
    Shift-drag on the corners moves the frame.  In the Transform panel, in the lower box, it makes the image AND the frame larger or smaller. Neither of these is what I want.
    If I'm not using the right terminology, let me try to explain.  If I have an image that is larger than the frame, then I can only see a small part of the image inside the frame.  If I could zoom out on the image, I would then see a larger part of the image in the frame, but the frame would be exactly the same size and in exactly the same place (just like it would be when you use the Content Grabber).  If I could zoom in on the image, then I would see less of the image but in more detail.
    If I could move (like the Content Grabber) AND zoom without doing anything with the frame, then I could get the image just the way I want it inside an already-properly-placed frame in the most straightforward and simple manner, and be able to see what I was doing in the process. Dragging on the corners is basically trial and error because you have to go through several steps before you see the final result.

  • Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

    Thanks Tgara.
    Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
    Argh!
    I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
    Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

  • Can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    can i use the iphone just for the ipod and wifi without simcard

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

    Sorry, you question doesn't make sense. If you're trying to import photos, in your camera roll, to iPhoto, iPhoto doesn't import them twice.

  • My mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    my mac disk is full and i cant transfer files from Mac to USB. saying the format is not good, how can i change the format and what happened to the files i have on USB?

    Once something similar happened to me. The external drives I had set up for FCP to use for some reason were not mounted, and FCP put all its render files on the main drive and I couldn't find them anywhere.
    Go to applications, and control-click (and hold down) on your FCP icon; you should get a pop up menu that says "show package contents". Select that, select the "contents" folder, then the "mac OS" folder. See if your quicktime file is in there, or if you've got render files in the "render" folder or audio render files in the "audio render" folder that don't belong there.
    That's where FCP sticks stuff when your documents FCP project folders are not available or when external drives you've selected aren't available.

  • I would like to transfer old reel-to-reel tapes to an iMac. There are different recordings on the left and right channel of the tapes. When I connect the tape deck to the Mac, I get one recording on the left, the other on the right speaker. What to do?

    I was about to transfer some music from a reel-to-reel machione to my Mac. There are different sound recordings on the left and right channels. When I connect with RCA cables and Y-connector, I hear one recording from the left speaker, another from the right side. How do I record only one side, but hear it from both speakers?
    Detlef

    You don't say what end, or connectors are plugged into what. I'm assuming the RCA connectors are on the reel-to-reel end. Since the tape has two different mono recordings, one on each track, you of course only want one at a time during playback. Otherwise, the Mac (or any recording setup) can only treat it as a stereo recording with the standard Left-Right tracks.
    1)  There are multiple ways to connect different types of cables to get a mono signal down to a stereo output at the Mac. Here's one way.
    2) Plug any RCA cable (single cable or stereo) into only the right or left RCA output of the reel-to-reel.
    3) On the other end of the RCA cable, plug in an adapter like this. That will feed the single RCA output into a mono 1/8" plug.
    4) Then plug that adapter into this. That turns the 1/8" mono signal into a "stereo" output with the same single track audio being fed to the Mac on both the left and right channels.
    5) Record either the left or right output of the reel-to-reel. Rewind the tape and switch the RCA connector on the reel-to-reel to the right channel (if you started with the left) and record that mono signal as stereo.
    Or, avoid all of this hardware mumbo-jumbo in the first place and do this:
    1) Record the audio just the way you have it. Two different recordings, one on each channel.
    2) Copy the audio recording to a new name and open it in your editor.
    3) Highlight the left track and copy/paste it into the right track. Presto! Mono recording of the left track on both channels. Save the recording.
    4) Repeat, only copy/pasting the right track into the left track and save the second recording.
