Moving all my data from my old ibook to my new powerbook
Hi, i have recently purchased a 12" powerbook G4 and want to move all my data from my iBook G4. How can i make this happen so that it is set up exactly the same as my iBook including my Mail and all my other settings?
Thanks Darren
Check to see if the Migration Assistant exists in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder; if so, connect both machines with a FireWire cable, open it and transfer your data over. If you haven't turned the PowerBook on before, you may be given the option to use the Migration Assistant during the setup process.
If the Migration Assistant isn't installed on the PowerBook, or if you don't want to use it, hook up both Macs with a FireWire cable, start up the iBook with the T key held down, open the Users folder on the iBook's hard disk, and locate the folder with your data. Next, open the Users folder on the PowerBook, rename the item with the house icon, drag over the folder from the iBook's hard disk to the Users folder, give it the name previously used by the folder with the house icon, log out, and log back in.

I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD.
Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on. Then see if you can access Settings.

A week or so ago, the screen on the Macbook Pro I've had for 5 years went permanently black. The screen itself still works, but it's just all black. Went from flickering/flashing to black. I didn't have any kind of warranty on it or anything, and in addition to all of the other things about it that needed fixing, it seemed like it'd just be cheaper to get a new Macbook Pro.
My question is: How do I get all the stuff from the old laptop to the new laptop without having to use the old laptop's display? Is there a cable I can use to connect the two, and I can just access the old one from the new one?FireWire between the two (get appropriate 800-800 or 400-800), Target Disk Mode on the old one, appears as an external disk on the new one. Drag everything over, or use Setup Assistant if first start of new one, or plain old Migration Assistant. You really don't need a display to see a prancing FireWire icon, do you?

(with the added advantage that since you ain't booting anything off the drive, can turn the Mac on or off at will without risking data corruption on the drive) -
I bought an IPad Air a week ago and asked the guy at the apple store to have all my information and documents transferred from the old iPad to the Air. However my iBooks and photos are empty. Please help. Is there something I can do or I just have to go back to the store?
Using the same Apple id and Password you should be able to download purchased apps without being charged again.

Clearin data from my old G4 onto my new computer so I can donate it
How do I transfer all the data from my old G4 onto my new power mac? I want to donate the old one but wnat everything on it to be moved onto my new computer.
Is there a way to then clear the old one before donating it?What model is your new Mac? Migration assistant is usually the standard means for going from one computer to another, but there are a few caveats.

It Copies your Home Directory onto the New Computer, so the new one will start up with all your old data in its rightful place.
Mail data transfers, Documents, Preferences, etc...stuff like that. It wont delete them from the old computer.

To clear the old drive you should boot to the installer disc and run Disk Utility. Erase the drive with write zeros once selected in the security options. This overwrites the data and makes it hard to recover without very special and costly drive analysis. You can write more than once but unless you have very secret data once should be enough. More times takes much, much longer and I believe the highest option might take days, depending upon the drive size.
Make sure you include the discs that came with the computer to the seller. They will need them to install the OS and for computer hardware testing. If you intend to give them a newer operating system you should give them the newer discs as well. Any operating system on the computer should come with a set of discs for licensing purposes and for use in repairing the drive should problems arise.

I installed elements 12 on a Win 8.1 computer and moved all my photos from my old XP machine. I updated to elements 12.1. Now, many/most of my photos will not open because I do not have "permission" to open the files. How do I fix this so I can work with MY photos?
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

I am using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I just transferred all of my data from an old computer to a new computer, all my pictures and documents transferred fine but, my albums are missing and the date and time that is usually under the picture are missing.. How do I get them back?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
The date & Time can be displayed by going to the View menu and checking Details - also File Names if you want them displayed.
The Album information is saved within the catalog so it sounds as though you didn't do a catalog backup on the old computer and a catalog restore on the new computer which is the recommended way of transferring elements data. Did you just copy the photos over?
