Possible to transfer Quicktime Pro from one Mac to another?

Hello -- I have Quicktime Pro on my PowerMac G5, but I would like to transfer the license/registration to my new MacPro, if possible. Is this possible? Has anyone done this? Thank you very much.

Enter the registration info in the QuickTime System Preference pane on the new machine and remove it from the older.

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

Manually copy a Quicktime installation from one Mac to another?

We have an office full of computers with a very specific setup that includes Quicktime 7.1.3. And no, I cannot upgrade to the newer versions of Quicktime due to various technical issues that have arose during our testing. I'm setting up a new Mac station but have discovered that Apple removed all links for Quicktime 7.1.3. So i'm curious if i'd be able to manually copy/paste all the relevant quicktime files from one Mac to another (same specs on both). Would that work? Anybody have a list of files that Quicktime installs?

See if this will work (I've never tried it):
HD>Library>Receipts
Check to see if you have a QuickTime or QT7.1.3 pkg file. If so, click on same. See if it will re-install QT.
If the above works, then you will have no need to transfer QT from one Mac to another.
I wonder if you can transfer just the .pkg files? Hmmmmm.............

You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

How to transfer app data from one mac to another without using syncing of the iphone?

Right, recently I have tried to change which computer my Iphone syncs with so that my older mac can be sold or disposed of in some profitable form. I have successfully synced all of my music off of one mac onto another via home sharing at which point I connected my phone to my new computer which suggested that the phone needed a software update. Immediately after doing this I realised that my updated Iphone 3GS would no longer sync to my old computer and attempted to sync it just to confirm this- it failed and stated that the iphone could only sync with itunes 10.1 which is a higher spec than that mac can hold. I then feeling doubtful that things would work out tried to carry on as if this problem were absent but I later discovered that I could only transfer the apps that I had synced to my phone to my new mac and all unsynced apps appeared lost because as I stated previously I could not sync with my older mac which contains all of their data. I have consulted the online apple manual for the phone and all it states is the method of transferring purchases in itunes which I tried and is what lead to the copying of my synced apps on to my new mac. What I am asking is is their anyway that I can 'cheat' so to speak at app transfers. I know that somewhere on my old mac the files are stored with the information of the lost apps but I cannot locate them and would not know how to merge them into my newer itunes if I were to copy and paste them to a memory stick (assuming that this is the right method) Other than this is their any other way of downgrading the upgrades of an iphone or somehow tricking itunes into running a higher update than the computer spec? I've tried all I can and this is really annoying- please help!!!!!!

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... I'll have to look on my Mac at home to see exactly where they are, but you should just be able to copy all the apps from your old machine to thumb drive or over the network and put them in iTunes on the new one, then sync. Right click on one of the apps in your iTunes library and choose Show in Finder. That will point you to where they are.
If you're asking how you can do this and maintain data contained 'within' the apps themselves (high scores, game progress, etc), I don't think there's any way you can do that.

Can i transfer the OS from one mac to another without installation discs?

Hi,
I have just bought a new mac (well, a second hand one but new to me!) but it doesnt have an OS pre installed. I currently have the Powerbook listed below installed with OS X 10.5.2 and I was wondering, is it possible to transfer the OS over to my new mac?
Unfortunately I have lost the installation bits, i.e CD, but I just wondered if any techy wizards out there knew of a different way?
It would be really useful and save me alot of money(!) but if the worst comes to the worst I will just buy the OS again!
Thanks in advance!

Ok thanks thats cool...neither are intel based.
however, being fairly inexperienced with macs im not completely au fait with how the directory system works.
Using CCC I can copy files, but how do i copy a whole OS?! I mean where, for a start, will I find all the files associated with the OS that are necessary for it to run?
Secondly, once I have copied all necessary files to the target volume, how do I go about installing the OS? Or will it do it all automatically?
Sorry, I am probably asking really stupid questions but I guess thats what forums like this are for!
Thanks

How do I transfer all info from one Mac to another?

A few months ago I bought a new MacBook Pro, and want to use my old one as a backup. How do I transfer all the info on the new one to the old one? Got a firewire, if that helps. OS 10.8.2 on both.

You said:
We all confuse with your question.
You all confused? Well, I clear things up! Sorry... I be unclear...
Recently my old MacBook crashed while I was in LA, and I bought a new one almost identical to us. I have to have a working Mac when I'm out of town making presentations. So...yeah, I guess I want to format the old one like a Time Machine disk...so that when the new one crashes or won't open up for some mysterious reason, I can go to the old one and use it. Both have the latest OS, and there's plenty of room on the old disk for the info. Any reason I could't do that? I'd prefer to do it as quickly as possible...not do individual documents, etc.

How do i transfer all data from one mac to another?

When I started up my new iMac, there was an option to transfer all my data from my older mac (macbook air) to the new iMac. I skipped this step at first, how can I get back to this step and utilize this feature?

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu and double-click the Migration Assistant. Note that if you move a home folder, it’ll create a new user account for it.

How do I copy & transfer iPhoto library from one mac to another?

I have a Power mac G5 and want to transfer a complete copy of my iPhoto 6 library (with all the specific albums) from my Power mac G5 to a new mac mini. I have an external drive. Is there a way to do this operation direct, between computers, or do I go through the external drive? Which do you recommend and how do I do this?
After the copy transfer is completed, in the future, when I add new photos to my iPhoto library on my G5 and I want to transfer a copy of the new photos to the mac mini, do I follow the same process you outline above? Will the future copy transfer require I delete the library on the mac mini, and make a new complete copy transfer, or will a future transfer only pick-up the new photos?
Thanks,
HDP

1 - connect the two machines together (a network or firewire target mode) quit iPhoto and drag the iuPhoto library from the old to th enew machine
2 - alternatively you can connect the EHD to the old machine, drag the iPhoto library to it, move it to the new machine and drag the iPhoto library to the picturews folde on it
3 - there is no way to sync the libraries - if the two are on a network you could use iPhoto library manager (only if both use the same version of iPhoto ) or use image capture to move the photo to the desktop from the camera and tehn impor tthem into both - but you can not automatically sync them you have to load the photos twice or use IPLM to do it

How do I transfer an imovie from one mac to another and be able to edit it?

I need to transfer an iMovie project from another mac onto mine and be able to edit it in its components...help!

Hi Brittani,
Try connecting the other Mac via FireWire Target Disk Mode (make it the target) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661.
Then open iMovie on your Mac (the Host). Go to File menu > Import Movies > navigate the the movie you want to import from the other Mac and click Import.

Transfer iPhoto library from one mac to another

How do I move my iPhoto Library from my old MBP to the new one (iPhoto 11)?

Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

Transfer iPhone Library from one Mac to another?

Hi, Everyone:
I would like to move my entire iPhoto Library from my iMac to my MacBook. I tried dragging the "old" Library to an external USB drive, then attaching that drive to the MacBook and re-dragging it there. I am getting the following error message, though:
"You can’t open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?"
The dialog then gives me only one option, "Quit."
What do I do? I'm about to go away to school, and would like to have my photos with me on my MacBook, rather than at home on the iMac.
Thanks!
Caroline

What version of iPhoto do you have on yhour iMac and on the Macbook? If they are the same then do the following on your Macbook: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Is it possible to transfer sms conversations from one iphone to another?

Hey Guys,
I accidentally cleared the sms conversation between my girlfriend and I on her iphone, she doesn't use itunes so I cant just restore it from her last sync. I still have the conversation on my iphone tho, is there any way I can transfer it from my phone to hers. Any help would be great
Cheers.

I doubt it.
You could investigate PhoneView or MobileSyncBrowser (or maybe TouchCopy), which could let you get the SMS messages as a text file and then she could save it on her computer. I'm guessing it has sentimental value?
But I don't think there is any feasible way to get it onto her phone. Oh wait, you could also take screenshots of the conversation and then email them from your camera roll to her. Probably easiest.
