Manually copy a Quicktime installation from one Mac to another?

We have an office full of computers with a very specific setup that includes Quicktime 7.1.3. And no, I cannot upgrade to the newer versions of Quicktime due to various technical issues that have arose during our testing. I'm setting up a new Mac station but have discovered that Apple removed all links for Quicktime 7.1.3. So i'm curious if i'd be able to manually copy/paste all the relevant quicktime files from one Mac to another (same specs on both). Would that work? Anybody have a list of files that Quicktime installs?

See if this will work (I've never tried it):
HD>Library>Receipts
Check to see if you have a QuickTime or QT7.1.3 pkg file. If so, click on same. See if it will re-install QT.
If the above works, then you will have no need to transfer QT from one Mac to another.
I wonder if you can transfer just the .pkg files? Hmmmmm.............

  • How can I copy an iPhoto book from one Mac to another?

    I'm wanting to copy an iPhoto book from one MBP (OS 10.7.3) to another (10.8.3). Is there an easy way to do it?

    You will have to copy the entire iPhoto Library to the other Mac as the library is a virtual entity in the library recorece in the database files.
    Once it's been copied launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the libary in the window that appears.  I
    NOTE:  if the new Mac has  newer iPhoto version than the old Mac check to make sure it has the same theme that you used in the book.  There were some changes in themes from iPhoto 8 (09) to iPhoto 9 (11).  If your new iPhoto doesn't have the same theme you may want to complete the book on the old Mac.

  • How to copy a user account from one Mac to another

    If I have a main user (admin) account on one Mac, and want to copy its Home Folder over to another Mac that already has user accounts on it, what is the best way to do it?
    For example, if I boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode then connect it to the other Mac, can I just drag and drop from its Users folder into the Users folder on the other Mac? And would that then appear in SysPref/Accounts, complete with names and passwords etc, or is it not that simple?
    (Actually, I just checked by launching Migration Assistant, and it seems to indicate I can use it to copy User Accounts from a different Mac - is this all I need? How would I connect the two Macs for this to work?)

    Slightly confusing, that article - it talks about using Migration Assistant in Lion or Mountain Lion, but in my case both computers have used Snow Leopard. Does it still apply?
    (One other observation - don't you find it confusing the way Apple defines "Target Disk Mode"? It's pretty much always the case that a computer booted in this way becomes the Source computer, while the Target computer is the one it's connected to!!)

  • Can I copy a Photos library from one Mac to another?

    I have upgraded an iMac and MacBook Pro to Yosemite 10.10.3, and am switching to the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library.  I want to keep full copies of my Photos library on both the iMac and MacBook Pro, with an Optimised version of the library on my iPhone.
    My iMac has the master Photos library.  It is slowly uploading the 28,000 photos in the library to iCloud Photo Library, and they are slowly appearing on my other devices. 
    The question is, can I copy the Photos library from the iMac to the MacBook Pro via a USB hard drive, and expect iCloud Photo Library to work out that each photo is duplicated in the two libraries, or will I end up with duplicates in iCloud Photo Library?  What would be the effect if I were to change the MacBook Pro to Optimised after copying the Photos library?
    If I can do this, it will mean I can see my Photos library on my laptop much sooner, and I might be able to get my MacBook Pro to the office which has much quicker upload speeds.  I don't fancy taking my iMac in to the office, and my boss might ask an awkward question or two...
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Yes, and no.  Yes, if the plist(s) don't contain any pathname info.  Obviously, no, if they do, unless of course the other system has the exact same directory structure and filenames.
    I should add a little caveat about preference panes.  User prefpanes may store plists in ~/Library/ByHost.  And the plist filenames in there usually have a long code and letter sequence which I think is machine specific.  So they probably would be problematic moving to another machine.

  • Can i copy an email folder from one Mac to another?

    I have some emails (in an email inbox folder) that i need to copy from my iMac to my Macbook Air. I don't need ALL the emails from inbox etc.. just that certain Mailbox with about 15 emails in it.
    Is there some way i can copy them to a USB thumb drive ? I tried dragging the emails to the thumb drive but it didnt work.
    Or any other way to copy them maybe, like wirelessly or something.
    If it helps, the iMac is running 10.6.7 Snow Leopard and the Macbook Air is running 10.5.8 Leopard.
    Thanks in advance

    From Mail's Help File:
    You can archive (create a backup copy) of a mailbox so you can retrieve messages if needed.
    To archive a mailbox:
    Select one or more mailboxes to archive.To select mailboxes that are next to each other (contiguous) in the list, hold down Shift as you click the first and last mailbox; to select mailboxes that are not next to each other in the list, hold down Command as you click each mailbox.
    Choose Mailbox > Archive Mailbox, or choose Archive Mailbox from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) at the bottom of the sidebar.
    Choose a folder or create a new folder where you want to store the archives, and then click Choose.Mail archives the mailboxes as .mbox packages. If you’ve already archived a mailbox, Mail does not overwrite the existing file but appends a number to the filename to create a new version of it.
    If you need to recover messages, you can import an archived .mbox file as “Mail for Mac OS X.”
    ALSO
    Mail can import messages from other email applications, or messages that you’ve archived using Mail.
    To import messages:
    Choose File > Import Mailboxes.
    Select the mail application you want to import messages from.If you’re importing a mailbox archived from Mail, choose Apple Mail.
    Follow the instructions that appear onscreen.
    Make sure the application you’re importing from is open and running, because some of the options require this.
    If you’re importing messages from a Windows or UNIX computer, select “Files in mbox format” and locate the folder containing the files.
    If the email application you’re switching from isn’t listed, click Cancel. Consult the documentation for the other application to learn how to export your messages in mbox format (most email applications can). You can then import the mbox format files.
    Your imported mail is stored in a new mailbox called “Import.”

  • How do I copy & transfer iPhoto library from one mac to another?

    I have a Power mac G5 and want to transfer a complete copy of my iPhoto 6 library (with all the specific albums) from my Power mac G5 to a new mac mini. I have an external drive. Is there a way to do this operation direct, between computers, or do I go through the external drive? Which do you recommend and how do I do this?
    After the copy transfer is completed, in the future, when I add new photos to my iPhoto library on my G5 and I want to transfer a copy of the new photos to the mac mini, do I follow the same process you outline above? Will the future copy transfer require I delete the library on the mac mini, and make a new complete copy transfer, or will a future transfer only pick-up the new photos?
    Thanks,
    HDP

    1 - connect the two machines together (a network or firewire target mode) quit iPhoto and drag the iuPhoto library from the old to th enew machine
    2 - alternatively you can connect the EHD to the old machine, drag the iPhoto library to it, move it to the new machine and drag the iPhoto library to the picturews folde on it
    3 - there is no way to sync the libraries - if the two are on a network you could use iPhoto library manager (only if both use the same version of iPhoto ) or use image capture to move the photo to the desktop from the camera and tehn impor tthem into both - but you can not automatically sync them you have to load the photos twice or use IPLM to do it

  • Move or copy iPhoto '11 slideshow from one Mac to another

    How do I move or copy a slideshow created on my iMac to my Macbook Pro

    Export it as a QuickTime movie.
    If you want to move it in an Editable format then you'll need to copy the Library that contains it over to the other machine.

    Enter the registration info in the QuickTime System Preference pane on the new machine and remove it from the older.

  • Can I Copy a preference pane from one mac to another?

    Hi everyone. I regualrly work on a lot of different computers and to save time I've been keeping a usb with a few plists with me that i can drag and drop into the library to save time. I was wondering whether there were any issues with doing this with preference panes (that would have been installed by 3rd party apps, specifically wacom)? This particular pane is usually stored /library/preferance panes.

    Yes, and no.  Yes, if the plist(s) don't contain any pathname info.  Obviously, no, if they do, unless of course the other system has the exact same directory structure and filenames.
    I should add a little caveat about preference panes.  User prefpanes may store plists in ~/Library/ByHost.  And the plist filenames in there usually have a long code and letter sequence which I think is machine specific.  So they probably would be problematic moving to another machine.

  • How to move songs in one playlist from one mac to another?

    I am running the current version of  iTunes on my MacPro and my MBAir, both of which are authorized computers in my iTunes account.  I would like to copy the tunes in one playlist on my MacPro to my MBA, so that I can take them on the road.  Some of the songs are purchased from the iTunes store, and some have been ripped in from CDs I own.  I have found numerous links explaining how to move an entire iTunes library to a new computer.  But, I simply want to copy a few files from one Mac to another so that I can play them on either machine.  How do I do this?  Thanks!

    There are no shortcuts with the way your iTunes libraries are set up. You'll just have to go to each individual song, use "Show in Finder" to locate the actual file and copy and paste them to your other computer's iTunes.
    What I suggest for someone who has multiple computers is to designate one computer to store all of your iTunes content and use the Home Sharing feature to stream to the other computer. iTunes was not designed for an individual that has multiple computers.

  • TS2530 When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    When I put a burned cd from one Mac into another Mac, song titles do not show up! I have to enter them manually! My CD player reads the titles that i on the cd; how can I get my Mac to do so?

    The problem is that I burned these CD's myself from music that I added from my personal collection to iTunes. The INFO is ON the CD's (it appears perfectly when I put the CD in my Numark mixer...so I know the info is on the CD), but for some reason, my MAC PRO will NOT read the info on the burned CD when I place the CD into the MAC PRO. The CD was burned on a MAC that I no longer own. But there HAS to be a way to transfer songs from a burned CD with the INFO that is on the CD burned with iTunes.
    PLEASE HELP!

  • Can I copy my iTunes from one Mac to another to a distant location?

    I have 2 homes one in NYC and the other in upstate NY. I have multiple Macs at both locations all using Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes(9). I only have 1 iTunes library I maintain at the upstate location and have to bring my iPod to the NYC location to play my music. Can I not copy my iTunes library to the NYC location using Home Sharing or using some other method? I often forget to bring my iPod and am left without my music.

I would like to know if there's a way to copy my settings from one mac to another? Is there a specific folder for all apps or do I have to find out each and every single file for each app?
    I need the settings for

    Filezilla (FTP infos)
    Would appreciate.
    Thnx.
    All that info is found in your user/library folder, I just did a 60 machine rollout and copied all those settings from user/library, just be forewarned that if you upgrade software those setting will not take on the machine, for example Adobe CS 3,4 will not usable by CS5.  let us know if you need more help.  Also make sure you copy most of your preferences in the user/library/prefences folder.
    Note: If you are using an identical backup with all apps and user settings, you can just copy all folders from user to your new home folder.  Remember that only if the image or backup is identical to your production OS.

    I have no problems copying iMovie Events from one Mac to another, however, how can I copy iMovie Projects from one Mac to another?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should give you some good insight, I'd probably store them on an External HD on the old machine and then just drag and drop to the new machine.
