Trackpad do not work properly after migration data from old imac to new macbook pro

After migration all my Data from my old imac to my new macbook pro (both running on OS Maverick) with migration assistant, the trackpad of the new macbook pro doesn´t work properly any more.
But the trackpad had worked properly before the data migration!
But now the trackpad feature of scrolling up and down with two fingers doesn´t work. (Other features are ok.)
I have tried to change the trackpad settings, but still doesn´t work.
Can anyone help me???

Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
Thanks.

Yes.
Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

Time Machine or other disk (Target Disk mode makes it look like an external HD).

Just Migrated Files from Old Mac to New MacBook Pro and Can't Open PDF File

Does this computer come with Adobe reader pre-installed or do I need to down-load it from Adobe?
Thank you.

If you want Adobe Reader, you'll need to download it. Even if it's already present on your hard drive, you'll want to have the latest version, and the preinstalled version (if there is one) probably isn't it.

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

I want to transfer all data from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. How do I do that?

My iMac's video card has died and I am told it is too old to replace. They recommended transferring all my data from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. They said attach a fire wire, and press "t' before the iMac starts up and then it will start in safe mode (or something like that). But I don't know what to do next. Can anyone help me?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you start up your iMac holding the T key, it will start up in Target Disk mode. In this mode, the iMac's hard disk appears as an external drive in your MacBook Pro, so you can access there and recover your data.
After starting in Target Disk mode, open a Finder window in the MacBook Pro and you will see the iMac's hard drive in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". Select it, navigate through your folders and copy them to your MacBook Pro's hard drive.
You can also use Migration Assistant > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I m trying to transfer my data from my imac to my macbook pro using transfer manager i m connected to wiifi it says that the process will take above 55 hours ? I have only 38gb to tranfere ? Why so long isnt normal

Hi
I m trying to make a transfer to all my data from my imac to my macbook pro with wireless ... And using my transfer manager as requested but it show 55 hours time to download ? Whats wrong ?

So there are several factors that may point to why your transfer is going to take so long. First and foremost it is going to be the type/speed of wireless you're using. Your router and computers should all be using the same type of wifi (ie 802.11G or 802.11N). That will ensure the best "theoretical" transfer speeds across your network. Depending on what type of router you have and what type of wireless cards your computers have that will determine the max theoretical transfer speeds you could achieve. For instance the fastest available wifi is currently 802.11N at approximately 300MB/S maximum transfer speed. Realistically you'll probably see about 10% of that.
Secondly the speed of the computers and their hard drives will also play a large factor in the transfer time. If your computer has a slower processor or uses a lot of virtual ram (which uses the hard disc drive) you will experience slower transfer speeds.
As seventy one said you will experience MUCH faster transfer speeds over ethernet. You will especially noticie faster speeds over gigabit ethernet. Gigabit speeds require both computers to have a gigabit ethernet port and a router with a gigabit ethernet switch.
With all of that being said depending on other variables the connection may speed up and slowdown depending on current network traffic and your transfer time may increase/decrease accordingly. I would suspect it won't take 55 hours.

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

Migrating Data from old iMac G5 (PPC) to new iMac QC i7

I have had an iMac G5 PPC for about 6 years. The logic board just died about 2 weeks ago.
I am about to purchase a new 27" iMac Quad-core i7 machine, and I am wondering what is the best way to migrate data from the old machine to the new one.
I have a few different questions...
I use SuperDuper! to backup, so I do have a full copy of my hard drive on an external drive. But the data is about 2 weeks older than the hard drive on my G5 (meaning, I backed up about 2 weeks before the machine died, so there is data on there that I'd love to retrieve). I understand that I can pull the hard drive out of the iMac G5 and buy a cable to attach it to the new machine. I also understand that I can attach my external drive (with the SuperDuper! copy of my hard drive) to the new iMac, too, and run Migration Assistant (or Set Up Assistant) to transfer data.
However, I have heard that it is not good to do a straight migration from a Power PC to an Intel machine.
Is that true?
I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
What do you recommend?
Should I do an automatic migration using Set Up Assistant and my external hard drive with the SuperDuper copy?
Should I (and can I?) do an automatic migration with the hard drive that I pull from the old machine?
Or should I (can I?) do a manual migration whereby I only copy the folders/files/libraries that I really want, and avoid clogging up the new machine with PowerPC apps, etc., that the new (Intel) iMac might not like?
This last one seems like the ideal choice, but I am not sure...and I don't know exactly how to go about that process.
Apologies for the long post, and many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Best,
Matt

automatic migration works well for most people but problems are possible both because of architecture and system differences.
I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
What do you recommend?
you can try automatic migration first. if you are worried about possible problems you can choose to migrate user data only but no applications. this should reduce the likelihood of conflicts. but if you run into problems you can always erase and install and do manual migration. since you have a superduper backup this option is not going away and is always available.
see this link on how to go about that

HT3258 after transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?

How can I see the data and application that I transferred from Old Mac to New Mac?
Transfer of all the files and application was successful but I can't see it on the New Mac.
Help.

Thanks for your reply
I did reboot the system.
still can't see new user.
One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
at the end a message came up
" 2013-09-11 04:18:05 +0000 Paul Nirwan could not be created.
I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.

Can't migrate date from old mbp to new mbp using maverick

Hi have a new MBP 15 and 1 old one 12 maths old bothe running maverick. Have been trying to migrate data from older MBP but they keep disconnecting as soon as the transfer is about to start.

Use the Setup Assistant during your initial setup of the new computer. You will need to connect your old computer to the new computer to do this. You can do this using a current Time Machine backup of the old computer if you can connect the backup drive to the new computer. See Target Disk Mode and About Windows Migration Assistant.

Transferring data from crashed pc to new MacBook Pro Retina

I am trying to transfer data from back-up discs from my old pc to my new MacBook Pro. I have a USB superdrive and have inserted the first backup disc but the Macbook does not seem to be responding. I am trying Migration Assistant but it is stuck on the 'Looking for source' screen. Does Migration Assistant work for a pc backup disc? If not, how should I go about transferring the data without having to do it file by file? I also have the pc backed up on Carbonite but they will only transfer the data to a new pc and not to a mac. Help!

Hi nickih64,
When using the Migration Assistant to move data over, there has to be a computer that has be working as Windows version of Migration Assistant needs to be installed and running to make the connection. You would need to have that working or from your back up disks, drag and drop over the information that you want on your MacBook Pro.
