Moving iDVD from old MBP to new MBP retina.

My old MBP (with internal super drive) is running 10.7.5 and has iDVD on it.  Obviously the new MBP Retina does comes with 10.8.2 and does not have iDVD.  Is there a way I can get iDVD off the old machine and install it on the new one?  (I have the external Apple Super Drive and need to burn some DVDs)
Thanks!

I think you can copy iDVD from the /Applications folder on your old Mac to your new Mac's /Application folder. If that doesn't work, you can use your SuperDrive and install iDVD from your iLife DVD.

    Your apps are all connected to your Gmail account.  Once you sign in they are supposed to re-install automatically on the new phone (though that doesn't always happen).  If it doesn't happen, you have two options, you can either access the Play Store on your computer here: https://play.google.com/store and click on My Android Apps (top right), then go through them and click install on each one (make sure your new phone is signed into your Gmail account, and open the Play Store on your phone at least once) and they will be pushed to your phone.  Or, you can open the Play Store, then press menu>my apps, then swipe to the right.  This will give you a list of every app you have ever installed, and you can pick which ones to re-install.  I find the computer method to be easier, but hopefully they get pushed to your phone automagically.

  • Moving iphoto from external HD to new MBP

    I wouldl ike to copy iPhoto from my eMac to my new MBP. iPhoto is currently on an external HD, would it be best to use migration assistant to copy it to the laptop or to install fresh and then afterwards copy the old iPhoto to the new laptop? Does that make sense? I am new to transferring files from old to new computer. Thanks to anyone who can understand my question!

    lbell
    Simply copy the entire iPhoto Library Folder from it's current location to the Pictures folder (in your Home Folder) on your new Mac.
    Next, because there mighr be file permissions issues - especially if you've chnaged your User name - Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

    Then Launch iPhoto.

  • HDD with Mac OS X from old to the new MBP - possible?

    Hi,
    recently I found that the power of my MBP (Mb134) is not enough - I'm running a virtual machine and often used to compile a big project.
    So I put my eye on the new MBP line. It has faster RAM and allows 8Gb (yeah, even 15" can do this, its just "unsupported").
    The only question left: Can I take my 320Gb HDD from my current laptop and install it to my new one with no problems?
    Or can I then simply boot from my old HDD using an external USB case?
    Cheers,
    Alex

    The Mac OS X version on the old computer's hard drive can't start up the new MacBook Pro; a new copy of the OS will need to be installed from the new computer's original disks before it can be used as the startup disk.

  • Transfering Music from old computer to new MBP laptop HELP!

    I nees to transfer ALL of my iTunes music to my new MBP, can I just put all of my music onto a flash drive and then deauthorize that computer, then put songs from flashdrive on the MBP and authorize that computer? If I do this will my music still be organized like it was on my ild PC? Like album name, artist, title, etc? Answer ASAP please and thanks in advance!

    Okay. What do you want from this process? Do you want iTunes to appear exactly as it did on your old computer?  The way I have described several times before tells you how to do this.  Copy the WHOLE ITUNES FOLDER from your Finder (you do not say what source computer) or Windows browser or whatever, to the flash drive.  Drag it from the flash drive to your new computer and replace the iTunes folder on the new computer (I presume you have nothing in it now).  Start iTunes and everything will appear identical to your old computer.  Playlists, artwork, everything.  Three major steps. Drag, (move flash drive to other computer), drag, open iTunes.
    The video tells you in a somewhat long-winded (and in my opinion not necessarily best) way to end up copying just your media files to a flash drive.  It then adds them all back into iTunes where if all works well iTunes will end up processing them as though it has never seen them before. If that's what you want, fine, because that's what it does.  If the tags are correct on the files you will see the names, etc., but with the qualifiers I mentioned before.  You say you want them organized like they were on the old computer.  For most people this means ratings and playcounts and playlists.  That is not what you will get if you drag just media from drive to drive via the flash drive.  You will only accomplish that using the whole folder method I have described.  If you do not want your old playlists well, I guess you can do the video method, but even then my method is easier and you can always delete unwanted playlists.
    The video method is essentially the same process if the source computer is a Mac, again if your goals is to start over with a fresh library but your old media files.

  • Transferring Files from old PB to new MBP

    Hey I just got a new MBP and I have been using a Powerbook G4 for a few years. I want to transfer my stuff from the PB to the MBP but I dont want to transfer all the junk and random stuff I have accumulated, just some key folders like My Docs and Music and Photos and all that fun stuff. I have never used the Migration utility thing that you can use when you first start a new Mac. Should I use this? I was also just thinking about using Target Disk Mode and throwing a Firewire 800 between the two laptops. Any thoughts on that method? Thanks a lot.

    daniel123456,
    Firewire 800 rocks for transferring between the machines (this is what I used when migrating from my PB). I do not recommend using the Migration Assistant, however, especially given your desire to transfer limited stuff.
    I would connect the two, with the PB in TDM, then simply drag what you want into your new HOME folder on the Macbook Pro.

  • Moving contents from old iPod to new iPod

    I would like to shift all the contents on my old 30g iPod over to the new 160g I just bought. I haven't kept everything on my iTunes library, so is there a really simple way to do this without losing things? Any help would be appreciated.

    The songs from the old iPod will have to be moved to iTunes, then transferred from there to the new iPod.
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • Moving iPhoto from old Mac to new Mac

    I got a new iMac and have been trying to move my iPhoto library from my old one to the new one. I followed instructions I found here in these discussions, but I'm still having trouble. Here's what I've done:
    I copied the library from my old computer (from the Pictures folder) to a flash drive.
    Then I moved it from the flash drive to the Pictures folder on the new Mac.
    Then I opened iPhoto.
    Nothing happened, except a yellow sticky-note looking thing is there that says "To get started, do any of the following..."
    I had read something else here about going to File and selecting Switch Library, so I did that and still nothing happened.
    I even tried downloading the iPhoto Library Updater (something else I read about here), but it said it didn't need to be uploaded.
    Any ideas?

    I tried hooking the computers together when I first got the new one last month, but it must have been too confusing for me (can't really remember why it didn't work) because I decided to just do it with a flash drive instead. Do I need to trash the iPhoto library that's on the flash drive before I format it, or will formatting delete it anyway? I thought I read that this flash drive was already formatted for Mac OS before I bought it, but maybe not. And if you have any instructions for me as to how to format it, I would greatly appreciate it. You've probably guessed I don't know much about all this.
    Thanks for your response

  • Moving iWeb from old computer to new

    I just bought a new computer with iLife 08, the old computer has iLife 06. How do I move my website from iWeb to the new computer? I saw one internet suggestion that I look for a file in users/myname/library/application support/iweb. This folder does not exist on my old computer. Thanks for any help.

    On the old computer the domain file for iweb is only in the library folder under the main HD and not in the user library. I copied this Domain, and on the new computer the only iweb folder was in the user library (which there is only one user) so I pasted the domain file there. This did not work, when I open iweb I still get he start up for new user screen.

  • Moving files from old computer to new

    I have purchased my daughter a Powerbook 1.3 Ghz and need to move her files, applications, etc., from her old Powerbook 400 mhz to the new one. I have an external firewire drive that will make this easy, I think, but I am concerned about what exactly to move so that her safari bookmarks and her iTunes playlists, preferences, etc., all make the jump.
    I'm sure there is a trick to doing this. I just don't know what it is.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Moving iTunes from Old Computer to New Computer

    I want to move my iTunes music files and playlists from my "old" mac to a "new" mac. All music on "old" mac was loaded from CDs; there are no iTunes Store downloads in my iTunes Music Folder. In addition to the music files, I also want to move the playlists.
    I know how to move the Music Folder. But, how do I move the playlists I have created on the "old" mac? Can my iPod assist in this effort?
    I would appreciate a little guidance. Thank you. Dale

  • Moving music from old pc to new one

    Can someone please help me as I am going out of my mind with frustration here. I am trying to move my Itunes music library from my old pc to my new laptop which is windows vista. Ive an ipod mini, and after following the instructions to the letter from the help article in how to do this, after 3 attempts, its not worked, itunes does not see the music I copied over. My new machine is authorised and the library appears to have copied over ok although I can't open it, but I know it contains the files as its the same size as the one I copied. Can anybody give me some easy to follow instructions or suggestions as to how I can rectify this...many thanks....Caz

    I am with you on this one. I transferred all my iTunes library to this new PC. I have tried everything, including putting the music folders in Windows Media Player first, then dragging them to iTunes. But Media Player wont even tqake them.
    Seems like a common issue with transferring iTunes from one PC to another PC. All my iTunes on PC #1 was burned from CDs to Itunes library. Folders appear in a .wma format. They are on the new PC. So, how do I geAt iTunes on the new PC to accept them into the library?

  • Moving itunes from old pc to new mac

    i just bought my first mac. i need to move my itunes library to my new imac.
    my first try at manually copying the library (disk use) to my ipod failed (i didn't think to check the size of my "itunes" folder). i pretty much have my 80 g ipod full. The pc directory says that there is 86.4 g in my "itunes" folder. the 86.4 g is after i have deleted all my podcasts.
    what methods are left? moving them using cd's? i tried the belkin cable/software that i used to move the rest of my user data, but it only moved my purchased music. any other ideas?
    thank you in advance.

    in trying to follow iinstructions from the macworld.com article 146958 "move an itunes library from a windows pc to a mac" (from my google search):
    i edited itunes preferences on the advanced tab to "keep itunes media folder organized" and "copy files to itunes media folder when adding to library."
    then i chose file>library>organize library. i checked "consolidate files" and "upgrade to itunes media organization."
    i receieved the error message "copying files failed. the file name was invalid or too long." what file name? what casued this error?
    oh, i have recalled that i have an unused maxtor onetouch ii that i can use to move the data --if i can filnd the cables. so i won't have to deal with the 80g capacity of my ipod. but, is it really true that i can move my library in 2 "trips," let's say 45g at a time? i thought this was an all or nothing shot and that the difficulty with just copying the files had to do with copyright issues.
    thanks to everyone.
