Transfer files MacBook Pro 2,1 to MacBook Pro 2013 model

Am waiting to purchase new MacBook Pro 15 inch and want to transfer files from my old MacBook Pro 2,1. What is the step by step order to do this, or should I have an Apple rep do it at the Genius Bar?

If you buy the MacBook at an Apple Retail Store, I think that they offer you the possibility to set up your new Mac, including the migration of data from an old Mac or PC. If you don't want to transfer your data yourself, it's the best option.
Apart from that, if you want to do it yourself, during the first startup of your MacBook Pro, it will ask you to restore data from another PC, Mac or Time Machine backup, so select the option to restore it from a Mac and follow the steps. Note that Migration Assistant must be opened in the old computer. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889

    You can get a new third party 60W power adapter on eBay for under $20.

    Yes.  I ran it successfully on Mountain Lion and had no problems when I upgraded to Mavericks.  Be sure to apply the latest software updates.

  • HT201364 How do you free up startup disk space on mac book pro 2013 model its not letting me update anything at all

    how do you free up disk space on macbook pro 2013 model to upgrade and update software

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2010) crashes when adding video on MacBook Air 2013 model running Windows 7

    I updated PP to the 2014 version and every time I try to add video it crashes.  It also crashes right away if viewing the media browser in thumbnail view.  If media browser is in list view you can attempt to drag and drop video and then it crashes.  I have tried the, \Plug-Ins\7.0, rename to 8.0 trick but that had no affect.  I have updated the Intel HD 5000 graphics driver to the latest build as well and that had no affect.
    Any ideas?

    Is the Intel your only graphics adapter, or are you running an ATI or nVidia card as well?

  • Macbook Air 2013 model stopped connecting to the wireless network

    My 2013 MacBook Air has suddenly stopped connecting to my network. It is often intermittent and will kick me off the network if anyone else is connected. I think it is something to do with my Linksys router and the new Apple Airport card.
    Do I need to get a new router and if so do I need the Apple Wireless router?

  • MAC pro 2013 model not detecting E122 USB Modem

    Hi,
    For some reason, the light of USB modem doesnt glow, and neither is it detected. But when the Mac is restarted, the USB Modem does lit, and shows signs of being detected. Tried downloading Mobile Partner, but since the Modem is not detected, nothing proceeds. It worked well on my Windows PC.

    Contact the vendors technical support unit.  Because it may work on a PC, it does not follow that it will work on a Mac.
    Ciao.

  • Macbook Air 2013 battery problem

    Hi all,
    I just got my brand new Macbook Air 2013 model today, I can't power it up until the AC Adapter is connected. When I finished all the setups, login into the system, I found out the  battery shows 0%. This is my first Mac, would like to know if this is normal. Cause from my experience with windows laptop, they all comes with pre-charged battery. Thank you very much for your assistance in advance.

    That's not normal, & if it doesn't begin to work as expected after say, 15 minutes, try
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    but it's likely that you have a faulty computer.

  • "Insufficient Space" error preventing app download from App Store for MacBook Air 2013

    Hi,
    I am using a MacBook Air 2013 model with OS 10.9.4 (Mavericks).  It has a 120 GB HD with about 17 GB of free space.
    I am unable to download from the Mac App Store as I get an 'insufficient space available" error whenever I try to purchase a larger App (> 2 GB).
    After looking through the forums I can confirm the following:
    - Both the Finder and "About This Mac" report that 16.5 GB of space is available.
    - I have toggled Time Machine and restarted my computer with it "On" and "Off".
    - The application description does not mention needing more space for installation (specifically I am now trying to download BioShock 2 which needs about 9 GB).
    I tried to contact Apple Support for the App Store and they informed me it was a hardware issue.  I do not have Apple Care and do not think this is a hardware issue so would rather not pay the 20$ for support.
    Cheers,

    If you're trying to add a large amount of data all at once, and you get an alert of insufficient space, then from the menu bar, select
               ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Time Machine
    If the padlock icon is closed, click it to unlock the settings and authenticate. Turn Time Machine OFF, then back ON and close the preference pane. Restart the computer. Test.

  • My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

    I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

    Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
    Buying another computer will not change that.

  • I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another.  My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3.  What can I do to allow sharing?

    How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

    10.5.3 is at least part of the problem.  You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.
    See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC?  Select the appropriate link and follow the instructions carefully.

  • Macbook Pro, How to transfer files to new SSD

    Hi
    Ordered 16GB of Ram and a 480GB SSD for my MacBook Pro 13 2.5GHz last night.
    I know how to install the ram and SSD but I am kind of stumped as to how to move my files from my HDD currently in my Mac to my new ssd, I know that its possible to do it by removing the optical drive and use a hard drive caddy and move the files with an app called super duper but i could do with keeping my optical drive for the time being.
    I have a Mac Pro late 2012, i was wondering is there any way i can put both drives into two different slots and transfer the files any way?
    Or does anybody else know how i can do it, maybe if i take my Mac to the apple store they have a cable they would let me use whilst im there?
    Hope somebody can help
    Tom

    Buy an external hard drive enclosure. They are inexpensive. Put the new drive in it temporarily, connect it and run Disk Utility to format the new drive.
    Then transfer files between the two drives with Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Next physically switch the drives.
    Your old drive can now serve as your Time Machine back up.

  • 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.
