Sync and old mac to a new mac
How to sync and old mac to a new one?
I was told to bring it to an apple store, little difficult.
Any info appreciated.
So you want to move the information from the old Mac to the new one? Again please be more specific about exactly what you want to achieve, we can't read your mind.
If you want to migrate the photos, music & documents to the new machine then read and use Setup Assistant tips.

I just got a new macbook air and I am trying to figure out how to get all of the music, videos, pictures, apps, etc. that I have on my ipod touch and on my old computer onto my mac. I don't want to lose anything. I just want to figure out how to sync my ipod to my new mac without losing any data.
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
you can use an external HD or your network for this operation. everything will be as you were used to from the old machine. -

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. -
Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates? I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac. I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11. Is that the cause of the problem? Please advise. Thanks.
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.

I need to merge my files that were transferred from my old mac to my new mac - for some reason I now have 2 separate setups on my new mac. I need everything merged to one account.
Thanks!Did you use Migration Assistant? If you set up your new Mac first, you created a user account and when you used MA later, it transferred over the old one. The only way to avoid that is to use Setup Assistant at the beginning of the setup. I used MA once and spent a long time getting rid of duplicates - you can either do that manually or start over: use recovery (Command + R or Command + Option + R keys) during startup, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase your disk and download/install again. While going through the setup, use Setup Assistant - it will port over your one and only user account rather than create another.

Ive migrated my apps from an old mac to my new mac. When i try to open my CS5 programs it get a pop up that says i need to install the legacy java SE 6. Ive done that and it still does not open?
I'm having a similar problem...but mine results from an OS upgrade from 10.6.4 to 10.8.5.
Where did you access a clean copy of Java SE 6? The link at adobe for archicval plug-ins is a dead download (and it doesn't appear to contain Java SE 6.).

I'm using migration assistant to transfer files from my wife old net book to new mac air and the pc dropped out during transfer. I started up migration assistant on the Pc again and now says waiting for mac to connect! New MacBook Air is stuck at transferring information. How do I get the process to reconnect and continue?
Whew, good luck!
What version of OSX is on the older one? -
I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?
Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?
If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

How do I transfer my ipod from my old windows to my new mac?
I got a new mac. I tried to sync my ipod classic to the new mac. It got stuck in the "Do not disconnect" mode. It stayed like that all day and all night. I finally tried to sync it back to my old windows and got a message on my windows computer that it did not recognize it. When I hook it to my mac, it doesn't do anything and the sync command in my mac itunes doesn't highlight.
My ipod won't even turn off.Try restoring your iPod on the Mac. Restoring in iTunes for Mac will erase and reformat the iPod's hard drive, reload the software with the Mac version and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes

That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.

How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?
How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?
The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400. The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.
