Migration eines Imac

Maybe someone can help me. I am waiting so that the new iMac is finally order and configurable. There is November and December - but Apple has the year forgotten and which have no order and configuration is possible, is the hope of 2012 probably disappear.
I have 2010 already sold my iMac 27 late - subject to the delivery of the iMac 27 in January. If it takes longer obviously, the question of a data transfer is:
I have a 256 SSD in the iMac on the programs were installed. -I've moved completely on the internal 2TB hard drive the user folder.
I have for example due to a Rosetta Stone installation and not again freischalten free switching to the student versions of MS Office on VMWare and Office for Mac 2011 (for Rosetta Stone goes to almost not yet) have the old iMac to the new migrate.
Simply cloning will be difficult because I would have to Yes both hard drives cloning and white is not contiguous as the system since. Thus, probably migrating from the TM resigns, particularly as Yes the backup was not created with the computer, to which it then should be restored.
I imagine hard the mad, if I have already given the IMac because of the sale of the House, before the new.
Can anyone help me? Maybe so step by step instructions - and if possible in German or in very plain English, because I have to work with translation program (have only minimal English)
Thank you very much.

Want to migrate my iMac g5 w/sys 10.3.9 to new mac book pro, how do i upgrade to the minimum system required?

I want to migrate my iMac g5 from 2004 with system 10.3.9 to a new macbook pro. How do i upgrade to the minimum system (10.4.11 or 10.5.6 or later) required? Thank you.

You need to realize that if you buy a new Mac now with
Lion installed, all your PPC apps will not work.
You may just want to build your new system form scratch
and manually move the data you need. Migrating will bring almost
everything over and, since 2004, there may be a lot you just don't
want or need.
Also, installing those programs that you own that are
universal installers (contain Intel code) will
insure everything is put in the right place.
Having a fresh clean system to start out with is not
a bad idea. It's more work but in the long run will
help to alleviate problems.

Wo kann ich eine iMac-Seriennummer überprüfen?

Hi, wo kann ich eine iMac-Seriennummer überprüfen? Ich sollte Baujahr, "Dienstgrad" und dergleichen wichtige Infos wissen. Irgendwo gibt es eine Apple-Page, bei der man die Seriennummer eingibt und dann erfährt: Tauglich für Maverix etc. Besten Dank für Informationen. Uncle Fester

I am about to migrate from iMac (10.5.8) to the newest iMac. What is the OS version needed on the source mac to migrate to the new mac?

When I tried migrating from iMac (10.5.8) to the newest iMac the target mac said I needed the latest OS on the source mac. I will install Snow Leopard on the source mac, will this do the trick? Or do I need to install Mountain Lion?

I would forget about using any Migration system as all older programs you have on the older Mac, all PowerPC programs, won't work or migrate to the new system. Just network them over your home LAN and Copy your personal files over to the new Mac.
But if you are Dead Set on using the Migration systems then the old Mac will need Snow Leopard installed.

When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says this user needs attention before migrating. My e-mail does not migrate in the process. this never happened before i updated to Maverick

When I try to migrate from imac to macbook pro my user account says "this user needs attention before migrating". My e-mail does not migrate in the process. This never happened before I updated to Maverick. I have repaired user permissions but this not make any difference

Just a Follow-up - the migration went fine. The migration did not import Little Snitch, Flip4Mac and DivX, stating they were incompatible. It also reported that Intego Back up Assistant has improper security setting (which I have not yet investigated).
I am encountering small problems. Safari would not open embedded pdf documents and instead showed a black screen. This was fixed with instructions found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/display-pdf-browser-acrobat-xi.html and it now works fine.
Importing 17 years of old mail from Eudora to Apple Mail was time consuming. mostly because of the pre-migration preening i did, but using Eudora file cleaner before the migrtaion helped a lot.
I amy find some more glitches, but so far everything seems to be working.

Migrating from iMac to MacBook. How can I remove account from the iMac?

I have an iMac and will be migrating to a new MacBook. I'm giving my iMac (relatively new - less than a year old) to a friend, so I'll need to transfer all my data, and make the iMac "theirs".
How will I "undo" all my acount/registraion on the iMac so that they are able to control the software update, iTunes account, mail accounts, etc?
Thank you in advance.

Click here, follow the instructions, press the Command and S keys when the computer restarts, and enter the following into the prompt:
shutdown -h now

Migrating from iMac to new MacBook Pro

Currently I have a iMac, serial number QP833*ZE5, 2.4 GHz, with Snow Leopard 10.6.2
I will be getting a new MacBook Pro shortly.
What I would like to do is have absolutely everything on the MacBook be a duplicate of what is on my iMac.
And I can do this by simply restoring the MacBook from my stored iMac cloned disk image.
So, my question is "Is this OK?", or are there ANY differences at the System level (any at all) between my iMac 10.6.2 and the new MacBook Pro 10.6.2?
.. or, in any case, would you seriously encourage using Migration Assistant to port from my stored disk image clone? I say "from the stored clone" because this clone is on an external firewire drive which would be connected to the MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance for answering.

As a rule, it is not a good idea to try to restore from an older Mac's startup volume (or a clone of it) to a newer model. This is because the newer model may require a later version of the OS to support its newer hardware & the result will be a new Mac that can't start up. (See Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than that which came with your Mac for info about this.)
However, from Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs, it appears that currently at least, a new MacBook Pro should be able to boot from any version of Snow Leopard, so a restore from the iMac running 10.6.2 should be OK.
But keep in mind that Setup Assistant will run the first time you power up your new MBP, & it will offer to run the equivalent of Migration Assistant to copy everything not already installed from another Mac (or a cloned drive of it) to the MBP. Since this will not replace any apps or OS components included on the BMP will older versions from the iMac, but can copy over everything else (except system settings that don't apply & you don't need anyway), it is a good, perhaps even better, option for you.
Besides, you really don't want to duplicate absolutely everything from the iMac -- many of the files on it are just temporary working files, caches, etc. that the MBP will just discard or ignore.

Clarification on migration from iMac G5 running 10.4.11 to new intel iMac

Hello,
Although a lot of you have already posted on this subject, I just wanted to get a clarification, please. I just got a new intel iMac and I would like to transfer all my files from my iMac G5 (10.4.11). Should I just use the Migration Assistant and that's it? Will the two OS conflict with each other? And also, is it possible to continue to use 10.4.11 on my new iMac?
Thank you very much! I hope Ms. Miriam reads this one. She seems to be very knowledgeable!
-Pedro

Not Miriam, but...
You can use Migration Assistant to go from a Tiger Mac to a Leopard Mac. You will be running the Migration Assistant utility on the new iMac. You might employ FireWire Target Disk Mode (on the old iMac) as part of the process, to connect the two Macs.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
A new iMac has one FireWire 800 port and no FireWire 400 port (which is the type on the iMac G5). So you will need to get a 9-pin (800) to 6-pin (400) adapter, or a cable that has an 800 end and a 400 end (if you want to use the FireWire method for connection). They are available here
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/1394B96036/
You can also use a wired or wireless network connection between the two Macs, to do the data transfer.
And also, is it possible to continue to use 10.4.11 on my new iMac?
No. Macs can generally run the OS that came with it, or LATER (up to hardware limitations), but not earlier. So if the new iMac had 10.5.6 pre-installed, it cannot run any earlier version of Mac OS X.

Trouble using Migration from iMac to new i5 iMac

I just purchased the new i5 iMac. I want to use the migration software to transfer my files, programs etc. to my new machine. Everything goes as directed until the i5 reads my old iMac and then give me this error:
"There are no versions of Mac OS X available on your old Mac."
What does this mean. My old mac is running OS X 10.4.11. Will I still be able to migrate all my information?

Problem solved! I don't know what the problem was. Probably the order I was turning on the computers. They were recognizing each other but I was getting the error message on the new computer. I shut everything down and the started over and everything clicked!
Thanks for the help! I will look out for Rosetta and will definetly repair permissions as soon as the updates are done.
I love this site! Better than any tech department around!

Migration issue iMac to MacBook Pro

Migrating data from iMac OS X Lion 10.7.5 to new MacBook Pro. Using ethernet and wifi connection to migrate. MacBook has identified iMac for migration including code; but the iMac is not identifying the MacBook. Any suggestions?

Your best bet is to start over, using +Setup Assistant+ instead of +Migration Assistant.+
See [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Snow Leopard > Installation and Setup+ forum).

really appreciate some advice before i go ahead and try it!

so want to know if its safe to use the normal migration procedure
Yes, it is.

Third-party font-suitcase migration from iMac G3 to iMac G4 Classic Environment

Hello,
I thought I was all set ... successfully installed Appleworks 6.0.3 in the Classic Environment on my "new" Sunflower iMac G4 so I can still use my 3 macros and 2 custom buttons ... and imported my user dictionary as well. That was last week. (Hard drive on G3 is failing or I wouldn't have made the switch.)
It turns out I am using one third party font, two suitcases: Merriam and Merriam-Webster that the G4 will not recognize even in the Classic Environment. I spent hours yesterday reading about font issues and trying various things but didn't find anything that seems to apply directly to my situation.
I obtained these fonts from Merriam-Webster back in 2003 as part of downloading a trial dictionary.... I don't even remember. It turns out that one of these fonts proved useful last year ... providing an elegant way of making fractions... instead of 1/2, it would appear as superscript 1 over subscript 2 (without going to the trouble of creating super- and sub-scripts) ... nice in a report where I have mixed fractions for acreage, linear measurements, and fractional ownership in halves, thirds, fourths, and fifths. (In Times New Roman, these combinations look like "azr", "azs", "azt", etc. ). I can certainly go back and manually (no format search-and-replace capability available in AW 6.0.3) replace these instances with superscripts and subscripts in Times New Roman, but I was hoping to be able to make the MerriamIPA font available in Classic. (Another option, to use the fractions available in Lucida Grande, seemed promising, but LG appears to be limited to OS X.)
What I have read indicates that you need to know what sort of font you are dealing with. The Merriam font suitcase looks just like all the other font suitcases on my G3 iMac, the little suitcase icon with an A on it. Inside, there are three fonts, each with the typical icon ... a page with the upper left corner turned down and a letter A on it. The Merriam suitcase contains 144 kb, the MerriamIPA font, 43 kb. The Managing Fonts help file on my iMac G3 says you can use Get Info in Finder to determine the font type. All I see is "font" or "font suitcase" for both the Merriam files/suitcases and several other native fonts.
I copied (using a thumb drive) the Merriam and Merriam-Webster font suitcases to /System Folder/Fonts on the G4 iMac. The suitcase displays zero bytes and file type Unix Executable File. I tried copying just the font independent of the suitcase. Same result. I tried appending .DFONT, .OTF, .TTF ... various font file extensions and was able to fake the system into thinking what sort of font file it is, but could not get the font to appear in AW 6.0.3.
I won't need this after I complete final edits on a 300-page report I have been working on for ten years (replete with drawings, footnotes, tables, etc.) At this point I'm anxious to get back to the edits and be done with migration issues! Hope someone can help.

I gave up on using a different font or figuring out if I could use Times New Roman's built-in fractions visible in Font Book (as unicodes) and did a work-around based on Michael Wasley's tips in this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11622842#11622842
I adapted it however and think it looks a little better.
Font: Times New Roman 12 point
I used the fraction bar in 12-point (Shift-Option-1) for automatic kerning.
For the numerator, I changed the font style to superior (12-point).
For the denominator, I changed the font style to subscript (Shift-Command-hyphen) and reduced the font size to half, or 6-point using the short-cut Shift-Command-<.
When the fractions occured in my footnotes (9-point), I used 4-point in the denominator; 10- and 11-point, I used 5-point in the denominator. This seemed to produce the best result when printing.
Thank you, Michael.

Time Machine backups do not migrate from iMac to MacBook Pro

I just moved from a iMac G5 to a MacBook Pro. I love Apple's migration tool, but it seems that Time Machine backups do not migrate.
I checked with support, and did a basic amount of searching, and it seems that I need to erase and reformat the backup drive, losing all of my backups.
Can this be true? That's a pretty screwy backup solution.
Is it possible to rename the backup folder from "iMac G5" to "MacBook Pro"?
Is it possible to add a MacBook Pro backup folder to the one already there?
Any help is appreciated.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. It sounds like you successfully migrated, and got everything set up properly on the new Mac.
Now you want TM to just continue backing-up the new Mac to the old Mac's backups?
If so, then no, that's not going to work. TM keeps the backups for each Mac completely separate. This is usually an advantage, so you can back up two or Macs to the same drive without any conflicts.
Plus, the version of OS on your new Intel laptop is very different from the one from your old PPC desktop; a whole different set of drivers, and of course code for Intel vs. PPC.
So TM on the new Mac cannot treat the old backups as if they were from the new Mac. It must start a whole new "sequence" of backups for the new Mac. If there's room on the disk, you can leave the old backups there until you're sure you don't need them, but that presents another problem: when you want to delete them, you can do it only one at a time, via TM, using the procedure in item #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum. That's rather tedious and time-consuming, so most folks just erase the TM drive and let it start fresh.
If I've misunderstood, please clarify the situation.

Migrated from iMac to MacBook - How to setup AppleTV?

I migrated my daughter's iMac to a new aluminum MacBook this weekend. She has a lot of movies and TV shows that we had dumped to a 500Gb external hard drive with her iMac. Now that we've upgraded to the MacBook, obviously an external drive is no longer a viable solution for storing her iTunes library on. I tried moving her library to a network drive, but AppleTV doesn't seem to like that option. I am guessing because the library is not connected directly to her machine, the WiFi can't simultaneously grab the file from the network drive, while transmitting to the AppleTV.
How should I set this up now? We do not have a hardwire in her room, and she is sometimes sitting in the Living Room using her MacBook while she wants to watch one of her movies on the AppleTV.
I thought about consolidating our Libraries on my iMac - but as she uses Front Row on her machine to watch TV in her room too, there's no way to stream the video through iTunes between my iMac to her MacBook - can only stream music through iTunes, right?
This has got me stumped. Any help would be appreciated!
Here are the equipment options in the house -
Airport Extreme
Airport Express
Her 13" Aluminum MacBook
My 24" Aluminum iMac
An old G5 Acrylic in the Kitchen
2 AppleTVs (one in Living Room, one in my Bedroom)
I'm willing to employ any / all of them to figure this out.
EDIT - Can I hook up the 500Gb external drive to the G5 Acrylic in the Kitchen, sign into her iTunes account on that machine and setup AppleTV to use that machine and iTunes. Then point her MacBook iTunes library to the external drive hooked up on the G5 Acrylic so she can use Front Row in her room?

Sorry,
AFP Airport Utility file sharing check box and wan. Finder preference check box show servers on desktop. Finder GO command "connect to server" empty window type afp://10.0.1.1 which should be your local network. Hard drive should mount then you are in business. You'll have to put up with some of the quirks but learnable and doable. Also if N 5 GHZ wireless does not seem to work efficiently then try N+B/G 2.4 GHZ wireless.
