Migrating desktop from old Windows XP Pro system to new laptop with Windows 7
I have been happily running Palm desktop software 4.2.0 w/ HotSync 6.0.1 for a long time on an old system with XP Pro. Now I need to move everything over to a new laptop that has Windows 7.
Bluetooth is available if I want it but don't know how to decide. I've been happy with the cradle that has the USB connection and charge power.
So my question is how to set up on the new machine while retaining all my data and information (contacts, appointments, bookmarks, etc.) that I have now.
Should I download new versions of software etc?
Any advice will be much appreciated!

During the setup of Palm Desktop enter a username of 'test'. This way when you hotsync it will pull your data down to the PC.

I have just completed a lengthy migration of all my files from an old Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro and I find that none of my files on my desktop have been transferred. So, I do not have the confidence that all my files have been transferred. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix this matter. Sugggestions welcome. Thanks
Open the Users folder, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, and retrieve the files from there. If desired, you can then use the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences to delete the migrated account. This can be done in reverse if you only want the migrated account.

Migrated Aperture 3 upgrade from old Mac Book Pro to new Mac Book Pro. Can't open Aperture on new machine because I don't have the original serial number for Aperture 2 program originally installed on the old machine. What is the best solution to this situation
Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck -
Migrating info from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro and original laptop loses charge midway thru. After charging again how do I get things going, do I start from the beginning?
Agreed. Don't even think about starting a long, disc-intensive process like that without both machines powered by AC.

During an aborted migration attempt from old Macbook Pro to a new machine running Yosemite my recently installed apps and settings have been placed in a deleted user folder. How do I reinstate them?
I suggest starting over. Boot into Recovery mode, wipe the HD, reinstall the OS, and, on first boot, use the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide to do the migration.'

How can I access files that I moved from an older MacBook Pro to a newer one via Firewire and Migration assistant? The files show up on the new MacBook but cannot be opened. Thanks!
Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion. There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed. I have no idea what that passcode is. It seems to want a numeric code. Has anyone had this experience?

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?
All you need is an Ethernet cable.
Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately. -

HT3231 Can i migrate keynotes from iMac to Macbook Pro?
Can I migrate Keynotes from iMac to Macbook Pro?
Do you mean the program itself? If so then if it was bought from the Mac App Store just logon to the MAS with the same Apple ID you used when you bought it and redownload and install on the new Mac.
If it was bought on DVD then get that DVD out and install in on the new Mac then run Software Update to bring it up to its most current version.
If you mean the Keynotes you created then just copy them over your LAN from one Mac to the other. -

I have been using Sync plugin with my Firefox 3.6 installation. Now I am moving to a new laptop with Firefox 4. How do I import the synced entries from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4?
Hi!
You have 2 options. If you decide to use Firefox Sync to do it, follow the instructions described here: [[How to sync Firefox settings between computers]]
The other option is to do it manually. To do so, you need to migrate the profile. Follow this steps: [[Backing up your information]] -
I want to transfer data from my old Mac book pro to my new one using migrate. The old computer doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire or the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work to connect them and transfer data?
Thank you!Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

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.
