Moving from MacBook Pro to Macbook

I am giving my daughter my macbook pro (2008 model) for her to use in college. I bought a brand new macbook. I am trying to transfer my stuff from the 'Pro to the 'Book but when I do so I keep getting an error message. I used wireless first and when that did not work I tried ethernet. Since the 'Book does not have firewire but I have save my entire 'Pro on an external disk with TIme Machine, can I use TM to restore the files, etc., to my 'Book? What other options do I have for moving my stuff from one to the other? Thanks for your help.

If you have an external hard drive that supports a USB connection you can transfer files via this hard drive. Similarly you can use a flash drive if you have one with sufficient capacity to conveniently move your data. Here's what you most likely will need to transfer:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)

  • Moving from Macbook (white) to Macbook pro

    I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro from a 13" to a 15".  I want to give the Macbook Pro 13" (running Mountain Lion) to my wife who has a white Macbook (running Snow leopard).  I want to transfer her stuff to the Macbook Pro and have her running Mountain Lion with all her stuff.  How do I do this?
    I transferred my stuff using Migration assistant, but I am not sure how to do this and have her running Mountain lion.

    Connect the two using a Firewire cable. Boot her computer into Target Disk Mode. You can manually copy her stuff from the old computer to the new one.

  • Moving from MacBook to iMac

    I am moving to a new iMac but want to keep on using my MacBook. On starting my new iMac do I have to give it the same apple ID / amin etc as the MacBook in order to ensure access to my mail / icloud account, apps etc on the new device ? I do not want to use migration assistant for various reasons.

    See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. IMO, there are no good reasons to use anything but the Setup Assiatant to migrate on first boot.

  • Moving from Macbook to Imac 10.7.4

    I have a macbook 4,1 Black Core2duo at 2.4gh  I am geting a Imac 8,1 or 9,1 and its a Intell Core2duo from the most I know about it,
    What would be the best way to move. I have 10.7 on a usb key. I do not have Time Macheen or any form of backups at all!
    I was thinking the best way to move is via fire wire and just use CCC to do a system clone to keep everything how I have setup and make it easy.
    Some one told me was to Clean install on the Imac and then Use OSX migration assitant to coppy my macbook and how its set up. they also said they never used it though.
    But how well does migration assitan work?
    Do have bought apps from out side the app store and I have some apps that frends gave me. How would be the best way to get them over alright?
    Or should I just start with a fresh install on the imac?
    I'm honsitly leaning towards the system migration, and if that fails i'd just do a clone.

    The I would use the Migration before I make a useracount in the computer first boot with the 10.7 install btw. I herd that migration assasitan.app will make a second user.

  • Moving from premiere pro to after effects

    Hey guys
    I've been using priemere pro now for a little while, and I'm eager to really start developing my skills.
    I know very little about after effcts and what it does, so I was just wondering if someone could explain to me the differences betweeen PR and AE, and what are the benifits to getting to know AE?
    Thank you

    After Effects and Premiere are two completely different products. I can't even begin to list the differences because they are so many.
    On a technical level, I will adapt something I heard Rick Gerard say once:
    Premiere and other NLE's (Non Linear Editors) are specifically designed to playback a video stream. If you stack enough layers or effects on the video they will have to render a new video stream based on pixel based calculations for every pixel in the stack. This rendering, especially for HD sources or for complex plug-ins, will take quite a bit of time. However, for cutting together a bunch of video into a story, they excel.
    After Effects (and other compositing programs) -- are all pixel based image processing applications that act very much like Photoshop. They calculate the values of every pixel in every frame, come up with a new pixel, and then play those pixels back as a video stream. More importantly, AE and all the other pixel based compositing apps, always work internally with completely uncompressed pixel data. NLE's rely on codecs and in some cases, hardware, to playback the video.
    It's an entirely different way of working with moving images.
    Premiere is for putting shots together to tell a story. After Effects is about creating shots that can be used to tell a story.
    AE is for compositing, visual effects, and motion graphics. There is some overlap, but they are very different tools for very different jobs. You could cut together a scene in After Effects and you could hammer in a nail with a screwdriver, but neither are the recommended tool.
    Go to Vimeo or YouTube and look at some demo reels by motion graphics artists and compositors; that is what After Effects is for.
    If you want to join us in this wonderful world of AE, COME ON IN! But please start here: http://adobe.ly/AE_basics
    There is a much steeper learning curve to AE than there was for Premiere and you can't rely on your NLE experience to help much in AE. For example, don't press spacebar to start a preview in AE unless you hate yourself. A solid foundation in the basics of how AE works (in the link I gave you) is necessary to avoid much frustration. Don't let that scare you though. After a few months of working with it, it'll start to be tons of fun! I've enjoyed it so much that I've worked with it for over a decade.

  • Hints in moving from XP Pro - 64-bit Win7?

    I'm about to move LR 3 from WinXP to a 64-bit Windows 7 machine with a lot more power. The Lightroom Queen (Victoria Bampton) has some good suggestions for upgrading, such as at  http://www.lightroomqueen.com/blog/2009/02/28/how-do-i-move-lightroom-to-a-new-computer/ and http://www.lightroomqueen.com/blog/2008/12/15/default-file-locations-lightroom-2/ . However, it hasn't been updated for Win7 (yet; I also just posted there).
    I'm day-new to Win7, and am not yet familiar with where preferences are saved. Is the following approach, based on Victoria's sage advise, sound? Thanks!
                Dilip
    0. Start the LR installer to see what is its default location - I am guessing it will be something like c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3; whatever it is, let's call it InstallDir. Cancel out of the install.
    1. Copy [OLD]c:\BinWin32\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 to  [NEW] InstallDir so that any old settings saved here are picked up
    2. Copy [OLD]c:\Lightroom Library (where my catalogs and previews are) to [NEW]d:\Lightroom Library
    3. Copy folder of preference and preset files from old to new:
        [OLD] c:\Documents and Settings\[my username]\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\
        to
       [NEW] ??
    4. Copy Camera RAW Cache and Profiles from folder
       [OLD] c:\Documents and Settings\[my username]\Application Data\Adobe\Camera Raw
       to
       [NEW] ??
    5. Install LR onto the new machine
    6. Open the catalog on the new computer by double clicking it and relinking any files whose folders have changed in the move

    0. Start the LR installer to see what is its default location - I am guessing it will be something like c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3; whatever it is, let's call it InstallDir. Cancel out of the install.
    There's no need for this step - the installer will choose the correct install folder and that information does not help you in any way in your further steps
    1. Copy [OLD]c:\BinWin32\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 to  [NEW] InstallDir so that any old settings saved here are picked up
    What is this folder?
    2. Copy [OLD]c:\Lightroom Library (where my catalogs and previews are) to [NEW]d:\Lightroom Library
    OK
    At this point I would install the application - you can copy the settings and presets after installation.
    3. Copy folder of preference and preset files from old to new:
        [OLD] c:\Documents and Settings\[my username]\Application Data\Adobe\Lightroom\
         to
        [NEW] ??
    the easiest way to get to the Application Data folder of your user account is by choosing Start-Run (or Windows key + R) and enter %appdata% (that's a variable that brings you to the AppData folder of your user account without the need of changing the Folder view settings). Here under Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom you'll copy your presets.
    4. Copy Camera RAW Cache and Profiles from folder [OLD] c:\Documents and Settings\[my username]\Application Data\Adobe\Camera Raw
       to
       [NEW] ??
    I would recommend you'd move the Camera Raw cache to somewhere else then the C.\ drive for performance porposes - you can change this location in the LR settings.
    And just one thing that has nothing to do with LR but Windows and security: DO NOT use an administrator account as your daily user account - the old story 'you have to be an administrator in order to be able to work with windows' is a thing of the past. Whenever you need administrative permission (e.g. installing SW) you'll be prompted for your administrater credentials.

  • Moving from DPS Pro to DPS Enterprise

    Please someone remind me how to do this.
    The company has been using a DPS Pro account for a year but has now acquired an Enterprise account. The Pro account has now expired and so limitations to downloads fulfilment for the apps we published with it will start to kick in shortly. How do I ensure continuity for users who have our apps installed in such a way that they don't lose their free and retail folio downloads? I assume I need to re-publish the folios using appropriate app-specific sign-ins provisioned in the Enterprise account but will I need to rebuild those apps as well?
    Ali

    When you get your Account upgraded, ensure that you inform Order management that you need the same account upgraded (Give them your master account id). If that is done, it will not affect any folios and will continue to work as it was working earlier.

  • I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

    Greetings,
    After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
    Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years.  Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
    I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
    1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides.  Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
    2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
    3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
    4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
    I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
    Blessings,
    David

    David,
    Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
    In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
    Which external devices/equipment do you currently have  to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
    Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.

  • Mac Pro 8 core with boot drive cloned from MacBook Pro

    I bought a Mac Pro 8 core and in order to avoid having to reinstall all my stuff, I cloned my OSx (tiger 10.49) partition from my MacBook Pro running vista (installed via bootcamp) to my new MacPro's startup disk. The disk works fine except that the MacPro will not boot to osx unless I use the option key and choose the OSX partition. If i just turn the machine on it doesen't find anything. I think it is looking for windows. What do you think?????
    Also, if i restart from the os x partition on my mac pro it stops just before the lound bong sound and seems to be looking for the dvd drive. Any ideas??

    Well, I've covered this extensively here:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:

    Not knowing what you did when you migrated from your PB to the MBP, I can't really comment, but it's quite possible it didn't go as well as you think. Numerous users who migrated from PPC Macs to Intel Macs ended up with an Intel Mac that didn't work properly because Intel coded components had been replaced by PPC coded components.

  • I want to migrate from MacBook Pro (Tiger) to Macbook Air (brand new) Lion. How can I migrate?

    Hello.
    I have a old macbook pro running tiger on it, and I recently purchased a macbook air.
    I want to use setup migration so migrate all my settings, applications, etc to the new macbook air.
    However, both laptops don't have firewire port.
    I do not have a time machine backup for the Tiger. (does it even have time machine for Tiger?)
    Please let me know how I can migrate from pro to air.
    I really want to avoid manually migrating.
    Thank you for all your help in advance!

    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate.  Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.

    OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.  The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode.  It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data.  This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

  • Transferring photos from MacBook Pro to a SD Card

    Hello, New chap on the block and a complete ignoramus!
    I have just moved from a windows 7 based laptop to Macbook Pro with OSxLion.
    I am slowly learning, howevr I have two problems that I cannot seem to resolve.
    1: I put my 2gb brand new SD Card in the slot and up it comes as a crd icon with the label No Name.
    I try and transfer photos from my MacBook to the card so that I may take them to the shop and put the card in thier machine and print them off.
    No Joy! I cannot drag or paste anything to the card!
    I have been to disc utilities to format to what I do not know but anyway  the only thing I can do is verify, everything else is grayed out.
    Please can anyone advise?
    2: I did manage to transfer  some of my photos to a USB stick, but when I went to the shop and put said USB into the machine the stick was not recognized!
    So, there are my two questions, any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you for reading this.  Mike T

    Is the Lock slider on your SD card in the locked position?
    Is your flash drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS? It probably has to be to work in the store's reader.

  • Upgrade from macbook to macbook Pro: How to move UNIX programs?

    I am thinking of upgrading from my intel macbook to a C2D macbook Pro. I know that I can use the migration assistant to move all my User files and Applications over to the new machine. But, is there a way to move all my installed UNIX programs, such as TeX and other libraries/programs that I installed with Fink?
    If I just mirror the old drive to the new one, will that work? I'd like to have exactly the same setup on the new machine as the old one.
    Thanks, Josh

    Ok, so it is my understanding that the new C2D MBP's come with 10.4.8 build 8N1037. My 1st gen macbook has 10.4.8 build 8L2127. I read a blog by Jason D. O'Grady that describes moving from a 1st gen MBP to a C2D MBP with the same OS build discrepancy. He states that by using the install disks from the new MBP to update the OS on the old MBP he can just swap the harddrives:
    "Although the new MeBook ships with Mac OS 10.4.8 installed it is a different build (8N1037) than the build that is installed on my previous MBP (8L2127). For this reason you need to use the install DVDs that come with the MeBook and upgrade the OS on the donor HDD (still in the original MBP) before the swap. Allow about 30 minutes for this process and use the time to take apart the receiving MBP."

    So, following this logic, can I do the following ?!? :
    1. I buy a new MBP
    2. Put the new install DVD into my old macbook and update the OS to the new build
    3. Use SuperDuper (my backup program of choice) to mirror my old HD onto the new HD
    4. Seamlessly update from the macbook to the MBP and live happily ever after
