Restore Keychain from Macbook 3.1 to Macbook Air using Backup disc

I recently bought a refurbished Macbook Air (early 2014 model) to replace a late 2007 MacBook 3.1 and I am not able to use restore from a backup disc because the backup “was created on a different model of Mac.” I would like to transfer the data in the Keychain file on the Macbook 3.1 to the Keychain file on the Macbook Air. Suggestions greatly appreciated as I am currently manually transferring the Keychain data which is error prone and time consuming.

Try these steps:
1. Go to the Library on your old Mac and locate the Keychain folder
2. Open this folder and select the 'login.keychain’ file
3. Control-click on this file and choose Share
4. In the list of options, choose any of the methods you like
5. After you receive your keychain file, open Keychain Access on your new computer
6. Select File - Add Keychain and locate the 'login.keychain’ file from your old Mac

    Hi Chris,
    As you might have guessed the issue seems to be the permissions related. Can you please check if the user account of the machine have all the permissions to access the contents within the DVD? Since you said that the DVD is working fine on other machine so that proves that issue is not with the DVD. Can you try to repair the permissions on the machine?

  • How do I accept/purchase/download ilife programs after restoring Lion on a new Macbook Air using a new apple ID. App store will not let me do anything but accept; and it won't accept the apps with the new apple id

    I wanted to restore my new Macbook Air (over the web).. using a new apple ID instead of the old one I originally used when I bought the computer from the apple store a month ago.  By doing that, everything worked, but the iLife programs that originally came with it shows in the app store as "ACCEPT".  When I try to accept them... it says they are assigned to another ID.. you must repurchase them for this ID.
    I have no problem if I have to repurchase.  I just can't find anywhere to do that.  No matter what I do, I can only "ACCEPT".. which as I said earlier - don't work.
    Thanks for any help

  • I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

    I backed up my old macbook onto a hard drive through time machine. now need to restore to new macbook air. HOw??

    If you've not started the new computer yet, after you've started it you'll answer a few questions and then be asked whether you want to restore the computer. If you answer yes you'll be asked the source. Choose hard drive - make sure the TimeMachine drive is plugged in. Choose the TM drive from the list and let it go. It will take a while.
    If you've already started the computer look for Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. You'll be asked the same question about the source. Follow the instructions above.

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings?

    How do I restore my 2011 MacBook Air to its original settings for resale?  When I do the cmd R and go through the process, it begins the restore process for Mountain Lion because I upgraded to Mountain Liion on this machine a few months ago.  And it's asking for my Apple ID.  If I do that upgrade, the buyer will have a version of Mountain Lion that is associated with my Apple ID and that won't work.  Also, isn't there licensing issues in such a case?  I want to restore the MacBook Air to its original factory settings when I purchased it in April of 2011.  At that time it was Lion and not Mountian Lion.  And I don't want any software on this computer to be associated with my Apple ID.
    Thanks for all your help.
    Ron

    Press Command, Option and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility, erase your disk and reinstall Lion

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.

  • Cannot print from Macbook Air to Lexmark x2650 on Windows XP via wireless network (Linksys e1550)

    Unable to print from recently purchased Macbook Air via wireless router (Linksys e1550) that is connected Windows XP which is connected to Lexmark x2650 printer.  Macbook Air is connected to wireless router and able to access internet.  Windows XP printer is set-up for sharing and I am able to see and add printer from Macbook Air.  I have installed Lexmark 2600 series driver on Macbook Air.  Macbook Air sends print job to print queue and print job is released from queue but does not print on Lexmark printer connected to XP.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Wade, and Welcome to the dicussions.
    I think it's how the PC is setup and interpreting the Mac's drivers, should just pass them on I think, but here's a way to get most any Mac to print to most any printer on an XP machine...

  • HP900 Inkjet - Cannot print from Macbook air 2014

    Hi
    I have a HP900 inkjet printer connected via a Windows PC on my network.
    I can see and connect to that printer from my MacBook via the network (by connecting to the PC).
    But unable to select the correct drivers. Hence unable to print.
    Connected the printer directly to my MacBook air using an USB cable.
    Didn’t recognise.
    My preference is to use it though the network via the windows PC.
    Much appreciated if you could help me to get this issue resolved.
    Thank you.

    Hi ielk,
    Thank you for your reply!
    After some further research I found that this printer is not compatible with Mac. That is why you cannot find any drivers.
    According to this drivers page, HP 900 Inkjet Printer Drivers, this printer is only supported on, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Vista (32-Bit and 64-bit).
    If you are looking for a compatible printer, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
    Hope this information helps you, and have a great day!
