Need to move profile from v3.6 to v5.0 on new computer ... will this work??
I'm moving from an old G5 Mac tower running Mac OS X 10.5 to a new Mac Mini running Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. If I just transfer my profiles for from Firefox v3.6 and Thunderbird v3.1, will they work in Firefox v5.0 and Thunderbird v5.o???
the problem is, my music was on my broken computers hard drive which got when the computer got damaged
Did you not have a backup of your music on CD/DVD made using iTunes built-in Backup function? That would be the easiest way of transferring the music to the 2nd computer.
Otherwise Google for "ipod copy" for some third-party applications that will help you copy music from the iPod.
i have alot of music which is irreplaceable on my ipod
Another good reason to have at least one 'off-computer' backup.

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro? I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.
No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

Thank you LowLuster,
At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire. But looking at wires on line has been confusing. Is sata the same as esata? How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2? -

HT4527 HOW DO I MOVE FILES FROM MY IPOD CLASSIC 80GB TO A NEW COMPUTER?
Just moved, computer that had my ITUnes library on it was damaged in the move. How can I move my files onto my new laptop?
You (or a helpful friend) may be able to extract the hard drive from the damaged computer, put it in an external drive bay and extract your iTunes library and other personal data from it. Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have an old Mac Tower. I need to move data from the unit to an external hard drive. What kind of of hard drive must I purchase so that it works with the Tower? There is not a lot to transfer.
MG,
What we might need to do is to change the question. What computer do you plan to use the data on in the future? For example, if you have a newer tower, just move the hard drive to the new tower. If you want to use the data, what about an ethernet LAN to get the data over? If you want to archive the data, how do you store the second drive? What are your plans for the first drive? If the new software will not recognize the old file type, the data must be exported. Just getting files to another hard drive will not finish your journey.
As Allan said, knowing the exact model and year of your tower is important. My suggestion is to find a user group near you. Please post back with more information, including the name of a large city near you.
For example, our user group just experimented with a 1983 Apple IIc that predates the Mac. It started right up, read files from 1984 and saved them from a 5.25" floppy to a 3.5" floppy. That 3.5 floppy will go into a platinum G3 which will read PRODOS files using Apple File Exchange. That G3, with a USB card, will allow saving the files to a USB flash drive. But, somewhere along the way, some software has to read the file and convert it to data that is useable by current software.

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.
See: Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers

I need to move email from windows notebook, outlook to mac mail on my new macbook pro
i need to move email from windows notebook-outlook to mac
mail? need help?Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details. I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud. Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough). I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow. -
I need to move SharePoint from Rackspaces to Amazon. Help, please.
Help, please.
I need to move SP from Rackspaces to Amazon.
How can I do that?
Thanks in advanced.How much content do you have in current hosting? Do you have any custom solutions deployed? It depends on what kind of hosting package you have. You can take complete backup if you have access to this functionality and then restore in new hosting. Hosting
companies help users in setting up sites. There are different options. You can setup sharepoint on amazon and then use third party software to copy sites to new location. Delete sites from rackspace after the migration is over.

How can i move contacts from outlook on my pc to my new mac?
how can i move contacts from outlook on my pc to my new mac?
In Outlook export the contacts as vCard files and then it just a matter of opening Address book and either importing them or you can drag them into the app.
It's a pretty simple process.

i just bought a new macbook w/ mtn lion. when i transferred data from my old macbook over, it created another user name (i called it "old computer"). That's actually good--I'm not going to be accessing old files frequently--except for music, which i want on my new user name. How do i move files from my "old comp" account to my new one? Is there a way to easily move large #'s of files, or just one by one? I've googled extensively but can only find instructions for OSX 10.6 and previous, which talks about the "Shared folder," which I can't seem to find.

That's actually bad. Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over. -
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?
So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
