Moved to a new MacBook Pro

I just bought a new macbook pro and moved my aperture library over using a vault I had for backup. The only problem is that it also restored all of the thumbnails of pictures that I have deleted. The thumbnail has a picture and says unable to locate master. How do I delete all of the thumbnails? I all ready did the rebuild of the library and all it did was mess up all of my events and projects and put everything in one folder. Thanks in advance!

New laptop box, good time to reconfigure to a *Referenced Masters Library*. Since you are having problems transferring, consider converting to Referenced Masters before moving to the new box. The Library will suddenly become a civilized size.
Originals should be backed up before import into Aperture or any other app anyway. A Managed-Masters-Library not only gets itself overly large, having Masters in Vaults just makes Vaults huge and Vault backups slower, and therefore less likely to be done as frequently. Also any time one is dealing with a huge digital chunk (like a Managed-Masters Vault) it is much more likely to be problematic than a small digital chunk would be.

  • Trouble moving iPhone to new MacBook Pro

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently bought my first Apple computer - a new MacBook Pro. I moved my iPhone from my old PC by copying the 'itunes' folder from it onto the new MacBook Pro (and de-authorising old PC).
    But I am having a few problems - most importantly, my iPhone isn't installing updates to apps properly. What happens is I hit 'install' and it begins to install. But then it doesn't complete the install. It says something about not having the app on the phone. So I have turned it off and on again and found that the app will then appear on the screen but not in the folder it used to be in - not sure whether it has updated or not...
    Sorry if that's not very clear. Would be very grateful for any help or advice...
    Thanks,
    Nick

    You can Download it from- Download CS4 products and than you can install it on your Mac.

  • Moving to the new Macbook pro?

    I bought a new macbook pro and I'm planning the migration of files to the new machine.  What is the best method, with the old pro having firewire and the new one having thunderbolt? I have a lot of files, so I want it to be as speedy as possible. Maybe the firewire to thunderbolt adapter? Thanks for any adivce!

    No, but the Ethernet adaptor may be available now. You would have to check up on that. Otherwise, you can do wireless if your Time Machine backup device supports wireless.
    You can always get an external USB drive on which you can make a backup of your Home folder, then transfer to the new computer. However, if you do this be sure your admin account on the new computer has the exact same username as on the old computer.

  • Can iWork apps (e.g., Pages) be moved to new Macbook Pro?

    I want to buy a new MacBook Pro and I wonder if the iWork apps (e.g., Pages) be moved to the new Macbook Pro from the old?

    Certainly, just reinstall them on the new machine. (Don't try to copy them from the old machine.) if you purchased them from the App Store, you can re-download them for free using the same Apple ID used to originally purchase them. If you have an old iWork CD, you should be able to install from there, though older versions of the iWork apps may not work well on a new system, depending on how old they are.

  • Moved to new Macbook Pro; Aperture 3 Upgrade Serial Number not Accepted

    I have just moved to a new MacBook Pro. I migrated Aperture 3 from my Macbook. This was originally an upgrade from Aperture 2.
    When opening Aperture 3 on the MacBook Pro I am asked for the serial number. I enter the upgrade serial number which is rejected.
    I am really struggling to find the Aperture 2 box and don't know whether that serial number would be the solution.
    Has anyone else come across this issue and know how it is resolved?
    Assume I will not be able to find the Aperture 2 box. Can Apple help given that I will have previously registered Aperture 2 and 3 in the past? I really don't want to have to splash out on another couple of hundred quid for a lost box.
    Please help.

    Red,
    Yes, assuming that you legally purchased the original version of Aperture from Apple, they will have the serial number on file. When you call they can provide you with the original serial number.

  • How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    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.

  • Moving iTunes and iPhone from an old PC to a new MacBook Pro

    Hi, I am having some real problems. I have recently bought a new Macbook Pro to replace my old Windows PC. I am having no trouble moving all of documents and music from the old PC however I am completely stuck for what to do in transferring my iTunes and iPhone 4 content AND information onto the new itunes. I have consolidated the music files on the old pc but havent copied anything yet.
    What I am looking to do is to be able to sync the iPhone to the new Mac without any of the information on the iphone being erased. Is this possible without having to pay for third party software? I have a WiFi network which both of the computers are connected to. I am also able to use an external harddrive.
    I have already transferred the purchases from my account onto the new mac but a lot off my music isnt from the itunes store but is from various CD's.
    I am really lost on what to do and I am even considering writing down all my contacts, lol. However, i do have all of my current iPhone info such as contacts and calender sync'd with iCloud if this helps.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Matt

  • Moving my Iphone to a new MacBook Pro from an old MacBook Pro

    My husband just bought me a new MacBook Pro. I currently sync my Iphone to an older model MacBook Pro. How do I go about moving my Iphone to the new computer? I was going to take my 2 computers (the new one and the old one) into Apple so they could do the data migration. Is that something that they do when they move over Itunes along with my other things, or is it something I could do ahead of time?
    Thanks-

    You can use migration assistant to move everything over yourself.

    You can get a thunderbolt to firewire adapter. You can then get a firewire 400 to 800 cable and put the old computer in target mode. Then you can follow these instructions.

  • Best practices for moving from my iMac to my new MacBook Pro without carrying along a lot of junk?

    Some suggestions are welcome!
    I have been using an iMac late 2009 21.5" for the last few years. Recently I received a new MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has better specs (better cpu, more RAM, SSD drive) and is overall faster. I got an external 27" IPS monitor to hook up to the HDMI port and going forward I would like to use the new MBP with external monitor as my main desktop computer and keep my iMac as a backup machine if the MBP ever needs repairs.
    Anyway, I have two backups of my iMac: (1) Time Machine, which does its usual incremental backup, but excludes some things, like Parallels VMs and (2) A CCC bootable clone that runs every night at 3:30 am while I'm asleep. And as I'm writing this I'm updating that clone copy.
    The thing is, I don't want to move everything over to my new MBP. Over the years I've accumulated a lot of junk, and currently am using about 450 GB of the 512 GB disk space. My new MBP also has 512 GB of space, but I figure why not just bring over what I think is necessary and later on, if I'm missing something, I can get it from the CCC backup or the Time Machine backup. (I will get new backup drives for the MBP). My guess is I don't really need even half of what I've currently got on my iMac HD.
    So I don't think I want to use the Time Machine migration assistant. And I don't want to restore the new computer from the CCC clone. But I do want to add in enough applications and documents and settings so I can continue running much like I am running on my iMac. I'd like my installed software (BBEdit, Office, Parallels, CCC, etc.) to be licensed and avoid a new install of each app if possible. I'd like the apps with open documents to remember which docs were open, and when I start them again have things open up like they did on my iMac.
    Are there some strategies people can recommend for this? Like for each application, copy over the application, and related preference files from ~/Library? Or are there some applications which just plain have to be re-installed to work right?
    If what I'm thinking of doing is too complicated, the alternative would be to do a complete restore to the MBP and then try an extensive hash-and-slash and attempt to delete old, unneeded things.
    But I have old preference files going back years and I figure why not start afresh, since everything is so incredibly speedy on my new MBP.
    What do people here usually do when they get a new computer that will replace the old one?
    Thanks,
    Doug

    Well, I've been trying this for a while. By my calculations, at this rate, installing all the applications one by one and trying to restore all the data manually will take me about six years. I would finished just in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
    The main problem is, I don't know where all the bodies are buried. Just one example, I'm using Cornerstone for an svn client. I have working copies of multiple repositories on my computer. I really don't want to set them all up again, and I can't figure out where the Cornerstone preferences and all settings are stored. I couldn't find them in the Library anywhere.
    And that's just one case.
    I haven't done much with my MacBook Pro yet, I think in retrospect the easiest course of action is to reinstall OS X as though it were new MacBook Pro, start from scratch, and use my Time Machine backup with the migration assistant and go from there.
    And that's what I'm doing right now. I'm in the middle of reinstalling OS X.
    Afterwords I'll use a clean app uninstaller application to get rid of all the applications that I'm not using. And I'll just hack away at directories that I know I haven't looked at for years, with the confidence that I have a backup both in Time Machine and in CCC and also on my iMac. That's three backups.
    I would rather start out "light", but I can see it's just going to take forever and a day to get it done. Anyway, fortunately nothing is carved in stone, and I can always try again if I want to. But dealing with all the documents and all the applications one by one separately was just obviously going to take too much time.
    I'll report back on my results. And I appreciate your suggestion.
    Doug

  • Moving iPhotos from Old MacBook Pro to my New MacBook Pro!

    How do I move my entire iPhotos Application from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro? I want to keep all my albums and slideshows intact. Is this possible? I'm going from a MacBook Pro OS 10.5.8, iPhoto 7.5.1 to MacBook Pro OS 10.9.1 iPhoto 9.5.1

    Migration Assistant has a poor record with iPhoto Libraries, unfortunately.
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
