New Mac, old Virtual PC, transfer XP with Parallels?

Hi folks, I'm planning on getting an new Intel Mac and using the transfer option to upgrade from my G5 to get my identity on the new system. (What's that called anyway?) Here's the situation. I have Virtual PC and Windows XP on the current system. I don't want the virtual PC disk to transfer, or if it does, I want to delete it. I was told that if you install Parallels, it has an import option to allow you to transfer the old XP over. I assume you can do that with an ethernet connection to the old system?
Just need help in figuring out the steps...
thanks
Jeff

I assume you can do that with an ethernet connection to the old system?
As long as the virtual image is seen by the Parallels converter it probably doesn't matter how you do it.

Probably want to then post on the Parallels forums:

Using Time Machine, or any other such program, to transfer Adobe software from one machine to another works probably less than five percent of the time. Uninstall from your new machine. Run the cleaner tool (do a search for Cleaner Tool on this site if you don't know what it is). Then reinstall properly from original media or downloads.

I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?

Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...

Just purchased a new mac mini 3GHz Intel Core i7, with 16GB ram version 10.10.1. With it i purchased a new wireless keyboard. All of a sudden I was not able to use the #1 key. I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

I have a mac mini which I bought in 2008. I need to buy a new mac, imac, and want to transfer all the files to the new mac. Can I do that with the 5 year old mini?

I just bought a new apple mac. I want to transfer my itunes apps, ring tones, music. Will I lose the purchased information on my phone if I sync it with the new mac?

You should first copy your iTunes library from the old Mac to the new Mac. Then you won't lose anything. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
If you have other data to move from the old to the new computer you should use the Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872
And finally, if you have a Time Machine backup of the old Mac you can use it to restore everything from the old Mac to the new Mac.

New Mac old settings

Hi! I just placed an order for a new iMac on the Apple store. Currently I sync my iPhone, iPad and iPods with my PowerBook G4. Once the new Mac arrives I plan to sync my iOS devices with it, I understand that there is a migration or setup assistant that will transfer all my settings from the old Mac to the new one.
Are there any tips or special precautions I must take? Should I use a USB cable, Firewire or use wi-fi?
Thanks,
Cesar

I am trying to transfer files from my old pc to my new mac. When I go to migration assistant, and hit the continue button on the introductory screen, I get a message that says M Asst wants to make changes - type your password to allow this. What is my password or how do I set one up for this?

When you set up your Mac you had to enter a admin password to set up your user account.
If you did not enter one then try using the "blank window" as your password. ie Just hit return with nothing entered.
If that does not work try this reference:

New Mac - old programs cant run due to unsupported PPC.

Just bought my Mac10.7 and notice that all of my old programs such as Office, Photoshop, etc aren't readable. I get a 'program not supported for ppc'. Is there anything I can do to make these programs work on my new mac? Thanks.

Office 2008, and 2011 are able to run in Lion.
Neo Office, OpenOffice, iWork, and Google Docs are also all alternatives that work as well.
Photoshop CS4 and later work with Lion with some limitations.

New Mac, Old Mac, Time Capsule, Old Airport express

Hi,
I have a couple of questions which I should be grateful if someone could answer:
I currently have an "old" mac (latest version of 10.4) and an "old" airport express (latest updates) connected to a modem which forms a basic wireless network with my mac connecting @ 802.11g speed. I also use airtunes.
I am looking at getting a new mac and a time capsule. My intention is to set up a new network with the time capsule as the main base connected to the modem. I only intend to use the backup facility with the new mac.
1.) Can I add the "old" airport express as a client to this network?
2.) If the answer is yes, then clearly the network will have to allow "g" and "n" devices to connect. will doing so mean that the new mac cannot take advantage of the greater speed available with the "n" standard? That is to say will the new mac only ever connect at the g speed?
Also is there the option to "zero" the time capsule hard drive?
Thanks

1.) Can I add the "old" airport express as a client to this network?
Certainly as long as the new Time Capsule is operating in an 802.11g compatible mode. The AirPort Express (AX) will connect wirelessly just like any other client.
2.) If the answer is yes, then clearly the network will have to allow "g" and "n" devices to connect. will doing so mean that the new mac cannot take advantage of the greater speed available with the "n" standard? That is to say will the new mac only ever connect at the g speed?
The 802.11n connection with the new Mac will take a speed hit whenever the old AX or old Mac are connected via 802.11g. The amount of the hit will depend on the amount of 802.11g activity.

Is App data transfered to my new Mac when I click "Transfer Purchases"?

I've been using my iPhone on a PC, it died, and I bought a Mac Pro. I am trying to sync my phone to the new Mac. I transferred all my purchases off the phone, synced contacts, notes, and photos. Now I want to enable syncing of Apps and Music.
I know the Music will be wiped, no problem. And I know the Apps will be wiped and replaced with the apps transfered to the Mac. But what about the App data?
I've searched the forum but I can't find an answer as to whether or not the App data is transferred off the iPhone when I went through the "Transfer Purchases" stuff. And I REALLY don't want to lose the app data!
For example I use an app to track my smoking habits so I can cut down on smoking and eventually quit (Down from a pack a day to half a pack in just a month!).
Any help will be appreciated.

I'll answer my own question for anyone else that needs the answer.
The answer is YES.
I backed up my iPhone first (Right click on iPhone under devices and click backup) and then checked the Sync applications box on the applications tab and synced. It worked.
I want to thank myself tremendously for all my help! I really couldn't have done it without me.
