QT Pro Transfer to New MBPro
Used QT Pro on my G5. Got a new MBPro some time ago and was able to use the previously purchased code to activate QT Pro in it. Just purchased a new MBPro and want to activate the QT Pro code in it. But... no preferences show up in QT that came with the new machine. Has something changed? How do I enter my code in order to activate QT Pro in new box? Never been a problem before but...
Thanks
Snow Leopard users can have access to two versions of QuickTime (X and 7.6.3, or 7.6.6 if 10.6.3 is installed).
You can only upgrade 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 to the"Pro" version and you do that via the QuickTime Player menu. QuickTime X is not upgradable to "Pro" status.
QuickTime Player 7.6.3 is installed via the Snow Leopard DVD. 7.6.6 is the 10.6.3 update for previously installed 7.6.3 version.
QuickTime Player is installed in the Applications/Utilities folder.

How can I transfer everything from a MBAir to new MBPro?
Hi,
I am writing this question on my MacBook Air, running OSX Mountain Lion.
I have on order a MacBook Pro Retina, which will probably come installed with Mountain Lion also.
Please advise how I can move everything from the MBAir to the new MBPro. I would like to have everything the same except it would now be on the more powerful Pro.
Thank you

Note that if you use Setup Assistant at the time of the first startup, the user account is transferred with the same name. However, if you choose not to transfer the account until later, an empty account will be created and subsequent use of Migration Assistant will give your account a new one. To have the name you had before for your own account, give the first empty account another.
I would use a transfer method you are familiar with, even if it takes a bit longer.
Have to disagree, regardless of how familiar with wi-fi you may be it remains the slowest, least reliable, most error prone method.

How do I transfer files from my old MacBook Pro to my New MacBook Pro?
I am trying to transfer some files, not all, from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro. I have tried to use Migration Assistant, but it doesn't let me choose what I want to transfer (only generic things like "users" and "files and folders"). I have tried to use Firewire. Now here is the funny thing. When I put my old mac in target mode it doesn't appear on my new mac anywhere. But, when I put my new mac in target mode, it pops right up on the dashboard and in finder. The problem is I have tried using my new mac as the target and just place the files into the icon, but the don't stay after I eject. I get a prompt that says downloading and when all files and apps are transferred I turn off my new mac then turn it back on and nothing. I've done search after search and repeated this process 3 times and nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.
Time Machine will not "overwrite". New back ups are added to what is there, without erasing.
Connect the Time Machine back up, double click on the icon and navigate through its contents - the back ups are chronological, so you just select the date then go through the contents just like on any other drive. You can select any files you want and drag and drop on the new Mac's desktop (or anywhere else). -
I want to transfer data from my old Mac book pro to my new one using migrate. The old computer doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire or the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work to connect them and transfer data?
Thank you!Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

how do i transfer my itunes account (with all my music, photos and ipad apps) from a macbook pro to a new macbook air?
thanks but exactly how do I do this. I tried setting the new macair up using migration assistant but for some reason not everything has come through. I bought a thunderbolt cable to improve the transfer rate.
Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit. -
I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

What cable can I use to transfer data from a 2008 MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro with thunderbolt?
You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the 13” white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

I am planning to replace my 3+ year old MacBook Pro with a new MacBook Pro, Retina display... I have been told by "chat" on the Apple site that I can transfer my data wirelessly... on my network.. Is is a good option? I don't want to invest in cables if I can help it... since the old machine has firewire and the new one has thunderbolt! Will the wireless transfer take forever... as in 30-50 hours??? I've been hearing these horror stories...

How can I transfer information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro?
How can I transfer information information from my older MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro? Does anyone have an answer because I spoke to 2 people at Apple & both sent me the wrong cables.....
Did they mention Migration Assistant? You can use MA with FireWire, limit is the speed of the older unit. MA will guide you and allow you to choose what to transfer.

selling macbook Pro 2011. It came with Lion, I upgraded to mountain Lion and Mavericks. Can license be transfer to new owner? how?
Good question now that Mavericks is free to all.
It used to be - and is probably still the case - that to comply with the license you should erase and re-install the OS that came pre-installed on the Mac when new. If there were restore disks they needed to be passed on with the Mac.
I'm happy to be corrected on this by someone who's more au fait with the legalese, but an upgraded OS is tied to an AppleID whereas the original OS is tied to the computer, not an AppleID.
My guess is, that if you launched the Recovery HD, erased the drive using Disk Utility and re-installed the OS, Lion would be installed.
Be interesting to see what others say. -
Setup Assistant New Macbook Pro Transfer Problem
Hello, I am trying to transfer the contents of my old 2008 Macbook Pro to a new 2013 Macbook Pro Retina with Mavericks. I have updated all of the software on the old one and it is running Mavericks. I can either connect them directly through ethernet (Thunderbolt to ethernet adapter for new one), or over Wifi. I have tried both and neither seem to work. When I go through Setup Assisttant on the new one, it recognizes the computer name old the old one. The old computer also had an HDD and Solid Slate Drive installed, and I want to transfer the HDD only. When I go through Migration Assistant on the old one, it stays on the searching for other computers screen, not recognizing the new computer. If I click continue on the new one to transfer from the computer name, it stays on checking the computer while the other one keeps searching. What can I do to transfer the dtata and settings to my new computer? I have heard the best way is with the one shot at Setup Assistant at the beginning. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Call Apple tech support. You have a warranty remember?

Best way to transfer from mid 2012 macbook pro retina to new mid 2014 macbook pro
I'm updating to a new 2014 macbook pro. am i better off using a migration assistant from one to another, or restoring from Time Machine (with ethernet to thunderbolt adapter)? Or some other method?
thanks,

I have used the Setup Assistant during setup of OS X and I would use a current Time Machine back up to point to during Setup Assistant. I have also manually copied data and apps over from another Mac while on my network. Both take some time and both were equally successful.
So, you have a choice after backing up your current Mac:
Have both Macs on your network, run setup on your new Mac and afterwards manually copy files from the old to the new Mac.
Run setup on your new Mac and use the Setup Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine back up all your user accounts, data and settings.
Question on a similar line except I wanted to partition the drive that came on the new Mid 2014 MBPro (2.8 GHz, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM). Migrating from the old computer b/u seems pretty straight forward, but once the drive that come with the new MBPro is partitioned an install of OS X needs to be done. Here's what I did, I installed the Mavericks I had purchased from the App Store when it came out. Now, from reading here in the Communities, some have indicated the shipped Mavericks version is not the same as the App Store version. Now that the shipped Mavericks is history (after the partitioning) should I try somehow to restore that from the Recovery HD/process? Or ???
This isn't my first rodeo, so I just went full speed ahead and did the partitioning and copied the former MBPro (early 2011) disk created by Carbon Copy Cloner over to the new boot partition. It was suggested that an Erase and Install OS X could be done, but I don't see how that would bring the shipped Mavericks version for this new MBPro, unless the Recovery HD suite of utilities would go and grab that from Apple via Internet; which would be fairly lengthy since it would be via Internet connection.
I'll back up a bit here for a second... I"m not experiencing any problems (kernel panics, etc.) but not sure if the system now is as it should be. Hindsight being what it is I should have made a CCC copy of the shipped volume of Mavericks; if this is an issue.
The system seems to be running fine, and some of my "issues" (for lack of a better term) could be just the way the new Mid 2014 MBPro is handling things - like memory allocation (i.e. using close to the 16 GB most of the time) and kernel_task using 1 GB of memory - more at times). Possibly if I wasn't a regular watcher of Activity Monitor I would just be plodding along, since the system seems to be working fine. Occasionally some apps or their processes take a longer than I feel is what should be normal to do, hence looking at the Activity Monitor to see what is going on.
Sorry for the long ramble. Trying to see if I really have a problem that would necessitate a reinstall of Mavericks via Recovery HD; which could take up some valuable computer work time (which I'm also using posting here <grin>).
Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggesting, etc. Also, to the person who posted to my other question on this another thanks for those suggestions. None of which I've done - yet.
Take care all - and thank you again for all the great minds who make these Community Boards work.
