Migration from old MacBook Pro to newer, lose iPhoto folders. Any cure?
In a recent migration using migration assistant from old MacBook Pro core 2 duo (10.6.8) to a newer quad core i7 (10.8.3), when I opened iPhoto for the first time and nothing happened. I then imported all my photos from the old iPhoto, and lost all folders I had. Now it seems I have to redo all folders. Any cure? I could do a clean install if there is a solution.

Sign up for the free trial, and use the office applications online for up to 30 days.
Granted, they online versions won't be IDENTICAL to the Mac versions you're used to, but it will get you through until you get back home, and you SHOULD have the ability to save the docs in a format you can use with your Mac apps later.
Another alternative is the free OpenOffice.org and similar open-source Office applications that can read and write MS-Office file formats.

Is my question out there?
It seems the longer I have Aperture open more and more images become unavailable. There's a dotted line around a blank thumbnail and clicking it may result in prolonged static "loading" symbol and ultimately, if anything else, a message that the file type (which is .jpg, nothing exotic) is not supported. These images are on an external iomega terabyte hard drive. It gets worse. If I go straight to the iomega drive where the images are all listed, selecting one brings up a symbol instead of a thumbnail and double-clicking brings the message that I "do not have permission" to open this file.No, that shouldn't have mattered necessarily ss long as you moved the folders into the correct spots.
You could start over by throwing all the folders you just moved in back out (could park them in a folder on your desktop). Then, if you want to start over completely, and - important - have the following file on your external - go to Users -> Library -> Preferences: com.apple.Mail.plist. This file contains all your account settings.
Copy that file over to your new Mac.
Throw out that same file on your new Mac (Mail will now think it has never been launched before).
Move the old .plist file into the same spot.
Move your Mail folders into place (and replace any newer folders there, so you will have exactly the same folder setup as you did in the old one).
Launch Mail (keep fingers crossed - it should work!) -
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.

Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?
I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH!
So....
What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one? I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way? I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over. Any suggestions on best way to do this?
Another question, perhaps subquestion. If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs. -
How to transfer CS6 from old macbook pro to new one?
how to transfer CS6 from old macbook pro to new one?
many thanks - is it something to do with deactivation?
How long does it take for the whole process?do not transfer. install all adobe products (including cs6) using their installer.
the whole process depends on a number of factors, but generally takes more than 10 minutes and less than 2 hours. the biggest factor is your download speed if you need to download the installation file(s).
Downloads available:
Suite: CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
Acrobat: XI, X | 9,8
Premiere Elements: 12 | 11, 10 | 9, 8, 7
Photoshop Elements: 12 | 11, 10 | 9,8,7
Lightroom: 5 | 4 | 3
Captivate: 7 | 6 | 5

Moving Acrobat X Pro from old MacBook Pro to new one, entry of serial number required, can't find it. What to do?

You might need to deactivate Acrobat on your old MAC, then install it on your new system and then activate it with your serial number:
Please refer this link and get your serial number:

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.'

I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account. How do I do this ? And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?
Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

Migration from old macbook air to new macbook air...beware
Although spent hours on the phone with Apple and bought necessary cables, they were not able to get migration assistant to work using ethernet.
You can't use firewire as new macbook air doesn't have it. You can use thunderbold as old macbook air doesn't have it.
Finally I was told to use Time Machine. After connecting old macbook air backup to new macbook air and using migration assistant, I got a message saying (essentially) 'you can use this from an old mac'. Spent more time on the phone with Senior tech support. They had no clue.
Finally called the store. Genius said, you can't migrate from old macbook air with Snow Leopard to new macbook air with Lion. You must upgrade old macbook air to Lion first.
GEEZ, do you think someone at tech support might have mentioned that DAYS ago?Tvlguy wrote:

That is bad info.
The MBA that I am using right now used a TM backup from my old MBP, which was running Snow Leopard. Absolutely no problems using Setup Assistant to import all the apps, data, user settings. The session performed flawlessly, and took about an hour to move everything.
If at all possible, use Setup Assitant, rather than Migration Assistant. The transition will be seamless. -
Transferring iPhoto library from old MacBook Pro to new Mini
I am trying to transfer via Wifi the iPhoto library from my MacBook Pro (10.7.5) to new Mac Mini (10.9). Finder will not move the file to the new machine because it says I do not have the correct permissions. iPhoto on the mini can see but will not open the iPhoto Library on the old mac. Any ideas?? Thanks!
see > How to migrate data from another Mac using Mountain Lion and earlier
Personally If I was only wanting to copy photos, I would copy the old iPhoto Library to an external hard drive and then import them from the external hard drive into iPhoto on the new computer. -

Processors from old Macbook Pro vs new
Hi folks!
I'm considering going from my Macbook Pro 15 inch (early 2011) with 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 to a Macbook Pro 13 inch (new) with a 2.6 GHz Intel i5 processor.
My question is, as I understand very little about processors, with my new Macbook Pro, am I effectively downgrading or will I notice a similar, or even better, performance?
Thanks in advance.i dont think the difference on the new macbook pros and the old ones is the kind of memory or hardrive...if u order one right now u can still get the 100gb hd and 2x512mb sticks... i think the only difference now is that u can choose between glossy screen and non-reflective screen...and of course not heat or whine....

Ethernet or Firewire:
