My new mac has two drives. Will setup assistant transfer files correctly?
My new iMac has a hard disc drive and a solid state drive. Does setup assistant transfer files from the old Mac to the new one by placing the files on one drive or on both? With setup assistant can I designate the SSD as the destination for transferring applications and the HDD as the destination for documents, music, photos, movies, etc.?
After completing the transfer with setup assistant will I have to move applications from the new iMac's HDD to its SSD?
Will the setup assistant have any effect on Lion in the new iMac?
That's helpful. Is there any impact to quality? It's not practical for me to USB or Ethernet it, since I don't have adapters and storage, etc. It is, however, convenient for me to let the laptop sit for a day (the estimated time) and just take in data at it's own pace on Bluetooth.
Is there going to be any loss of quality using this? Choppy songs, etc.

Does Setup Assistant transfer files from unused deleted apps to the new HD?
I just purchased a new Macbook pro and want to use setup assistant to transfer the data from my older Macbook Pro. Does setup assistant copy ALL files on the old hard drive? Specifically old hidden files from programs I have deleted.
Pardon me? I think your comment is messing up. First, you have any important tip to try to help G540516? This is not a forum for argue between collaborating people. CleanMyMac it's an awarded app with 5 stars by MacWorld among other, it's an excellent app for cleaning your mac, specially with 3rd party apps without propper uninstallers.
Also the recommendation of this app was because G540516 have leftovers in the old machine, which he don't want to transfer. So I give an advice of how can use an app to avoid those leftovers.
I've 20+ years using Mac OS, I will never recommend some crappy soft. Anyway it was a recommendation. You are not pointing anything concrete, just your opinion. Please form now on try respect the people who help others. -
Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
OSX 10.9.2
I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
"After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!> I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
Ugh. That causes so many problems.
The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it. -
I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, the music files aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music transferred? I have already exported the purchased music from the iTunes library, but I have thousands of songs from my private CD collection that I had previously loaded through iTunes.

long does it take to down load mavericks from snow leperd. The mini Mac has two gig of ram. It's over two hours now. I have DSL
By cable standards it's not very fast. Assuming it runs at top speed with no hiccups at either end you can download about 650 KB/s. So, that suggests it will take a little over two hours. Of course transfers are rarely ever perfect, so could take more than two yours, realistically. My pipe is about four times faster than yours, and I've seen the download take twice as long as it "should."

Can I move the Photoshop Elements 6.0 from an older iMac to a new one? The new iMac has no drive?
JerrytI share this person's pain. And was just now about to ask the same question. So, in effect we're screwed. I have the disc but without a drive I think E12 and this computer is going to have a very short life in my life. And for the life of me, why is so darn hard to get questions answered by Adobe? Good grief...I have 2 books and have saty through enough video "tutorials" to last me for some time!

My daughter wants a new Mac Pro; however, she will be living in London, England (we live in New Mexico). My question is...Must she buy a "special" Mac Pro for her needs in London, or can she use an adaptor for power?
Your welcome. Most electronics have universal power supplies that can deal with overseas power standards - before she starts getting lots of adaptors with transformers, check the manual or specifications online for her equipment. Often a simple adaptor that just adapts the physical US style plug to the UK style, or even better and cleaner, a new power cord, is all that is required. Found this out when I went overseas myself last year. And it can be overwhelming at first!
Even though it's PC world, after doing a quick google search for you it's a pretty comprehensive and easy to read article:

How do I switch users on wifi sync for example my Mac has two users one apples MacBook pro the other is my name I want to switch from apples MacBook pro to my name how is this done?
Try connecting the iPad to the computer that you do not want to WiFi sync with and uncheck the WiFi sync option in iTunes. Then click on Apply. Reboot the iPad and see if that does the trick.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
I'm going to be moving from one MacBook Pro to a newer one. My current MBP has the MS Office suite installed, plus Photoshop and Lightroom. Will setup assistant/migration assistant transfer those applications, or do I need to install them on the new machine myself?
It should, if there is nothing the matter with the hardware of the machine. Backup your data as a clone just in case. It is always helpful to have more hard disk space in the destination than the origin.

Will apple store transfer files from old macbook to new?
will apple store transfer files from old mackbook to new
If you mean that you are going to an Apple Store to buy a new Mac, and you want to know if they will transfer your data for you then the answer is "maybe." Many stores will do that for you, but some may not. Good idea to ask first.

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account. Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips? Anyone?
Four transfers. After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc. Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all. She sent me this link to help: Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac. I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

when i used disk utility when booting from the install disk im told the "disk is damaged " but the repair utility wont run sand tells me to back up etc....
i cant make a new partition , and i cant make an image
please helpI fully agree with BDAqua.
Don't do anything with this Mac until you have an external disk which you can boot your Mac from.
Not all USB disks are easy to boot from - FireWire is better
When you have a suitable empty external disk I advise:
Put install DVD into damaged Mac
partitioning external disk into 2 volumes
install OS onto one volume of external disk
Don't import anything during install process - it may reintroduce historic problems
Boot external disk
Use finder to copy critical data from Mac to volume of external disk with OS
Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the whole Mac hard disk to the other external volume
Boot into installer DVD and erase Mac's internal disk
Partition internal disk into 2 volumes and install OSs as required
