My old ibook and new mac book pro

Hi, Hope someone can solve my problem. Thanks!
I had a ibook G4 which just dead already, cannot start-up, but the hard disk can be take out from my ibook and the data is still in the hard disk.
If I buy a new mac book, How can I transfer my ibook data, setting, itune account, etc. to my new mac book? but the ibook cannot start-up anymore. How can i solve it ?

Even if your old Mac cannot start up it still may work in target disk mode. (Start up holding the T key down) If it does connect it to your new Mac using a firewire cable the new Mac will then see the old one as an external disk and Apple's utility will do the job. If target disk mode will not work get an external case for the hard drive and it will become an external drive (I got mine from Macsales) Be sure you get the correct kind. A case for serial ATA case won't work. A firewire case will work fine. A USB case may not need a power supply for the drive and will be slower.

  • Old i-pod and new mac book pro

    I have an old i-pod (I think refered to as classic) and an new mac book pro.  I managed i-pod files on sony vios that I no longer have.  I want to connect i-pod to new pro to manage files.  I do not want to lose music.  What is the process to get i-pod to recognize new mac book. 

    Try going to the app store, in your applications folder.
    Then go to the purchases section and if you see iphoto in the selection it should have an install button on the right click that and it will install.

  • HT204053 how can i sync calendar and contacts between my iPhone and new Mac book pro?

    I use an iPad and iPhone to maintain my schedule and contacts. I just purchased a Macbook Pro...how do I sync info on my other devices with my Macbook?
    I have a current iCloud ID...
    Would the info from the calander on the iPad automatically "push" to the Macbook, if i have everything configured properly?
    Thanks

    Yes,
    you need to Sign Out of the wrong Apple ID - lower button in ICloud under system preferences.
    Otherwise you cannot change the current Apple ID
    Then you will be able to put a new apple ID and sign in.

  • How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

    I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
    How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
    Thank you

    Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
    You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

    Buy an external USB hard drive and copy your data to it.  Either that or burn them all to single or double layer DVDs (depending on amount of data you have).  Or if it's really a small amount, consider putting it all on a USB memory stick.

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

    I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?

    Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
    Always install from scratch, from the original media,

    I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
    Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
    But it don´t work on my new Mac...
    In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
    Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.
