My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac

My iTunes library is constructed entirely of uploaded music cds. How can I transfer this music to another mac (I'm replacing current macbook)? Eventually, I will begin using itunes to download / purchase music. Do i need to transfer original library before updating itunes library on the cloud? What's order of operations?

From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
Full Details Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.
Also have a look at these 2 Videos...

I synced my photos with one of my macs. Now I want to transfer those photos to another mac

I had a bunch of photos on one of my mac books. I wanted those photos on my iPhone 6.
I have synced the folder with my phone - and now I'm able to see those photos in one of my albums on my iPhone.
However, now I want to transfer the photos from that album onto another mac but I find that when I connect my phone to that mac, and I browse iPhoto or Image Capture I'm only able to see photos taken with my iPhone Camera and not the photos I just transferred into the new album.
Am I doing something wrong or is it really not possible to transfer photos this way (i.e. Mac A ---> iPhone 6 ----> Mac B) ?
Thanks

Hi Terence:
so that sounds like better news...I should be OK when this happens?
Essentially my events become albums...I still have the separation ..correct?
Why would this be a problem?
This was a response from an earlier post from Vanoord that concerned me: quote..see next-
Events has been removed from Photos - it's replaced by 'Moments'.
'Moments' are like 'Events', but split up by the software and you have no control over what goes where, or what they're called. If you've got 300 Events now, you can look forward to about 3,000 'Moments'.
This response implies that all my 300 events will become separated into thousands of moments. What does this mean? Is this true?
Won't my Events just become albums as you suggested?
I have years of events that have accumulated and collated photos. They must stay separated.
****the other thing I was unclear about was the synching part..
Example:
I have 300 albums with 30K photos distributed in various numbers in each album ( used to be events according to your response)
I add some photos in each album each day
I set all my devices to the cloud etc...
the cloud synchs from my designated "source" Macbook...
the cloud sees this and uploads
then the confusing part...the other devices ( MacBooks, I pad, i phone) all will see the synch and can then be designated to download to each device in the original form as we view it on a Macbook or i phone? What does "full resolution" or optimized previews mean as Leonie replied above?
I need my JPEG images for my education keynote presentations and e mailing images as required from each event as needed ( soon to be albums)
Thanks again...just want to understand what is going to happen

How to Transfer Address Book to Another Mac?

I want to move my existing Address Book to another family member's new Mac. We've been using a shared Mail account and my wife just wants the addresses and auto-completes on her new Macbook Pro. My idea is to copy the Address Book from our iMac and put it into the same location on her Macbook Pro. It's in User/Library/Applications Support. Will this do the trick?
Thanks,
Steve M.

P.S. Would exporting and importing the Address Book archive also transfer the mail auto-complete data?
Yes, it does, if you are talking about the Previous Recipients.
An address book archive is just a copy of your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder packaged up differently. That folder contains the previous recipients database.
If you don't have any contacts in your new address book, then transferring it via the archive should work.
You can also just copy contents of the AddressBook folder mentioned above.

Transfer Sent Email to Another Mac

I have a G4 laptop that I travel with. I often send email from this computer which end up appearing in the Sent file. I would love to transfer (copy) these individual sent emails (not the entire Sent file) to my desktop Mac Pro also running Mail.
Any help and I will worship you!
Thanks

Well, you could copy the /Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Sent.mbox/ folder to the other computer. If you prefer not having to re-copy the folder all the time then use any synchronization tool to simply sync the two folders. This should only copy new or changed files. Of course you will need some way of connecting the two computers. This could be done via your local network with file sharing enabled on one of the computers (or both.) Or you can connect the two via FireWire if it's supported on both computers. You could use Target Disk Mode or Mac OS X 10.5 Help- Using IP over FireWire.
A better alternative is to convert your email service from POP to IMAP. All mail is stored on the IMAP server. Thus, each computer sees exactly the same mail folders regardless of whether one or both are online. This eliminates any need to sync or copy files between computers. This is easy to do if your email ISP supports IMAP accounts. Simply change your email account to IMAP, then create a new IMAP account in Mail.

Transfer purchased movies to another mac?

I want to purchase, not rent a few movies on iTunes, but If i'm getting rid of my current Mac and get a new one, can I transfer those movies to my new computer like I would do with music?

Yes. As with purchased music, you will just need to authorize your computer to play them.

Transfer Printer Settings to Another Mac

Hello - I have a few printers to configure among twelve different Macs. All Macs run Tiger. How could I configure the printers once, and copy the settings to the other macs? Thanks

Here's a generalized concept - but remember I don't have any intel Macs.
And this assumes you have already installed the driver for any printer that isn't included in OS X.
The Printer List of Printer Setup is totally contained in the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, plus the folder of "currently Added printer PPDs," /etc/cups/ppd.
Saved Settings are saved in files in /Library/Preferences that start with com.apple.print.

Transfer iweb site to another mac

My hard drive broke and now I have a new one installed. I would like to download/manage my iweb-mobileme site from this new hard drive. How can I sync the new disc with my mobileme?

tragicoptimist wrote:
How can I sync the new disc with my mobileme?
You can't sync your published iWeb site from MobileMe back to a new disk. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb.
You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
See also this Apple doc: _iWeb: Backing up your Domain file_
Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

How to transfer iWeb site to another Mac in Lion

Does anyone know how I can move my iWeb site from my Macbook Pro to my iMac. I've transfered the files, but iWeb doesn't see the data. I've copied the data to the iWeb folder in my User Library thinking that would help as I've read others have done in Snow Leopard. This doesn't seem to work in Lion. thanks for the help. I'm using iLife 11

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Mac OS: Moving files from your older Macintosh to a new one
Learn how to move or copy files from an older Macintosh computer to newer one, for example, from a computer that uses Mac OS 8 or 9 to one that uses Mac OS X 10.2.
Tip: If you'd prefer to have someone move files for you, ask about data transfer services at your local Apple Retail Store. For more information, visit http://www.apple.com/retail/. In addition to the Apple Retail Stores, many Apple Specialists, Apple Resellers, and Apple Authorized Service Providers provide various levels of data transfer services. Check the Find Service page to locate an Apple Specialist in your area.
Tip: Some computers that come with Mac OS X 10.3.4 or later preinstalled, such as iMac G5 and Power Mac G5 (June 2004), include a version of Setup Assistant that lets you transfer information easily. The following document applies when you are moving (or "migrating") files manually from one computer to another and do not have that version of Setup Assistant.

What types of files should you move?
Transferring email
Transferring other files
About reusing memory (RAM), peripherals such as printers, and other third-party hardware
Internet settings
What types of files should you move?
There are probably thousands of files on your computer, including many used by the system software and applications. Thankfully, you do not need to move every file.
You should think about moving these types of files:
Personal documents that are stored on your hard disk, such as to-do lists, recipes, spreadsheets, personal webpages, and databases.
Personal pictures, icons, movies, songs, or other multimedia files that are stored on your the computer's hard disk.
Unfinished iMovie or iDVD projects.
Information you keep in Stickies or Notepad (You might want to copy this information and paste it into a SimpleText document.)
You will probably not need to move these types of files
Entire applications (see notes).
Log files or Read Me files
Anything inside the System Folder
Note: You may need to move preference files for third-party applications and third-party fonts that cannot be reinstalled from a disk. If you do not know exactly which preference or font files these are, you should not plan to move any preference or font files. It is often quicker to configure preference settings from scratch or reinstall applications from original disks on your new computer.
Note: If you use Apple applications with your older computer (such as DVD Player, iMovie, iTunes, and iDVD), your newer computer probably includes a version of the software, and you should not need to transfer the older version.
Will my applications (software) work on a new computer?
Moving files is great, but what about using them after they've been moved? In most cases, you will enjoy the best Mac OS X experience by using Mac OS X versions of your applications. However, most applications that work with Mac OS 9 work fine with Mac OS X. This is because Mac OS X includes a feature called the Classic environment, which lets you use your Mac OS 9 applications. Computers that come with Mac OS X installed also include a Mac OS 9 System Folder for the Classic environment. Want to use your current Mac OS 9 System Folder instead? No problem, just copy it from your older computer. Note that it should be using Mac OS 9.1 or later, and you should also delete the Mac OS 9 System Folder that came with the newer computer. For more information about Classic, choose Mac Help from the Help menu on your new computer.
Transferring email
For an easy transition, use Mac OS X Mail on your new computer. Make sure you set it up before you transfer any messages.
Use .Mac or IMAP?
If you use .Mac or another IMAP email account, this will be very easy. If you don't use IMAP with .Mac or don't know what IMAP is, skip this section.
You only need to configure the email application on your new computer, such as Mac OS X Mail, to work with your .Mac or IMAP account. You may have already done this when your computer started for the first time. Messages stored on the .Mac or IMAP server appear in Mail when you open it.
You need to move a small number of messages (using POP)
The easiest way to do this is to forward (or redirect, if your application allows) the messages you want to move to your own email address. Do not retrieve email on your older computer. Instead, retrieve email on your new computer (such as with Mac OS X Mail), and the messages that you forwarded will appear.
Alternatively, you can open the messages in your older computer's email application and save them to your hard disk volume. You can typically do this by opening the message and choosing Save or Save As from the File menu.
You need to move a large number of messages (using POP)
If the choices for moving a small number of messages above won't work very well, you will need to know how your email application stores email. In some cases, such as with Microsoft Outlook Express, messages are not stored individually on the hard disk, but are stored within the application's folder in "mail databases." In this case, you should move your email application's folder just as you would transfer other files (described below). After you've moved the older email application, open Mail and choose Import Mailboxes from the File menu. For more information, see these documents:
61459: "Mac OS X Mail: How to Import Email"
25330: "Mac OS X 10.1, 10.2: How to Import Addresses Into Address Book"
106996: "Mac OS X 10.2: About Import Addresses and Other Mail Scripts"
Some applications may store the messages or attachments as separate files. In this case you need to find the files and move them with the others as described below.
Other email services, such as America Online (AOL), or email you access through a Web browser such as Yahoo email or MSN Hotmail, may store your email on their mail servers. In this case, you should only be concerned with transferring messages that you have previously saved to your disk and deleted from the server. If these services normally work through your email application instead of a browser, see the transferring email section as well.
Note: To access AOL mail on your new computer, you will need to install a Mac OS X version of AOL.
If you're not sure how your email application stores email, refer to the documentation that came with it, or contact the publisher for more information.
Transferring other files
Using .Mac and iDisk
If you're a .Mac member, you can use your iDisk to copy files between computers. Copy files from your older computer to the iDisk, then from the iDisk to your new computer. If your iDisk isn't large enough to copy all the files at once, you can check your .Mac account settings to manage your iDisk space, consider purchasing a capacity upgrade, or copy fewer files at the same time. If you have individual files that are too big, consider using third-party software to compress your files or folders, such as Aladdin Stuffit.
Using a network or direct connection
If you already have a network and know how to transfer files across it from your older computer, it's just a matter of turning on file sharing on your new computer and copying files to it.
If you don't have a network you may be able to directly connect your computers for the transfer. See "Macintosh: How to Create a Small Ethernet Network". Even if you've never done this before, you'll find it's an easy process.
If you don't know how to set up or use file sharing in Mac OS X, see "Mac OS X: About File Sharing".
For more information, you can also read the Mac OS X Networking Support page.
In the unlikely event that your older computer does not include an Ethernet port or an AirPort card, consider transferring files by other means listed below.
Portable hard drive, iPod, or other storage device
You can use a portable hard drives to transfer data from one Macintosh computer to another. These drives usually have a FireWire (IEEE 1394, iLink) or a USB port. Make sure your older computer has a USB or FireWire port first.
If you have an iPod that works with your older computer and has some free space, you can use it like a portable hard drive, in Disk Mode.
Portable FireWire drives provide the fastest transfer rate and are widely available. Portable USB hard drives have a slower transfer rate, but you can use them to transfer files.
Burn a CD or DVD
One of the easiest ways to transfer files from your older computer is to make or "burn" a CD or DVD of them. This has the added benefit of creating a backup of your data. Your new computer should have no issue reading the burned CD. These documents may help:
58804: "Mac OS 9: How to Burn a CD and Choose a Format"
25545: "Mac OS X: When You Put in A Blank CD, It Doesn't Appear"
25402: "Macintosh: Factors That Affect Writing to or Reading From Optical Media"
Other portable media
You can also use portable ZIP, Jaz, magnetic optical (MO), or other forms of portable media to transfer files as long as the media device can be used on both computers.
Advanced method: Moving an entire hard drive
It is possible to move some kinds of hard drives from some older desktop Macintosh computers to newer ones, but you shouldn't do this unless you are an experienced computer user. Make sure your new computer has an available storage bay, cable connection, and internal bus to support the type of drive you have. You may also need to adjust master/slave or cable select jumper settings depending on the type of drive and type of new computer you have.
About reusing memory (RAM), peripherals such as printers, and other third-party hardware
Depending on the technologies your older computer uses, some hardware upgrades or peripheral devices may not work. To find out what's compatible, check with the items' manufacturers.
These kinds of hardware should work, but check with the manufacturer to make sure. You should also download the latest version of any drivers or support software from the manufacturer's website.
USB-based mouse devices, controllers, storage devices, cameras, handheld organizers (PDAs), or printers
FireWire-based cameras, hard drives, or other devices
These kinds of hardware are less likely to work with a new computer. You may need to purchase a more modern equivalent:
Memory (RAM) that works with your older computer
PCI or NuBus-based expansion cards
SCSI-1 or -2 devices that connect externally
Serial port- or LocalTalk-based devices
GeoPort hardware
You can search or browse tens of thousands of products made for Mac at the Macintosh Products Guide.
Internet settings and bookmarks
On your new computer, you'll need to enter Internet settings such as your type of connection and email account information. You may have already done this when the computer started for the first time. If not, see " Mac OS X: Internet and Network Topics (Getting Connected, Troubleshooting)".
Bookmarks (or "favorites") can be transferred in a number of ways. If you have a small number of bookmarks, you may find it easier to just set them up from scratch in your new computer's Web browser. Alternatively, you can paste the URLs of your bookmarks into an email message, mail it to yourself, then get the message with your new computer.
If you have lots of bookmarks, most Web browsers offer a way to export bookmarks to a single file. You can then transfer the file to your new computer, and import the file with your new Web browser.

The circuit of my macbook is dead yet the hard drive is fine. I need to access a file from the hard drive, how can i do this? The mac turns on the screen freezes as bright blue. Is there a cable i can connect to another mac that will let me transfer the file?

There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

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.
