Transfer from PC to MacBook

How do I transfer my Itunes from my Dell to my MacBook when I get it?

I would just copy the itunes music folder from the
dell to the mac. You can use the ipod as an external
hard drive, so you would copy the music folder to the
ipod then from the ipod to the mac.
You have to enable disk use on the ipod to do this.
open itunes:
itunes > preferences > ipod icon, check the enable
disk use box.
I have an Ipod shuffle, will this still work?

    how do i transfer from ipad to macbook pro

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
    With the iPad connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select transfer purchases from - the name of your iPad.

  • I have a brand new macbook pro that i was doing a data transfer from an old macbook, it got stopped/cable pulled out, now have spinning wheel of death that wont stop, how do i reboot/stop the wheel of death and start again?

    i have a brand new macbook pro that i was doing a data transfer via firewire from an old macbook, it got stopped/cable pulled out, now have spinning wheel of death that wont stop, how do i reboot/stop the wheel of death and start again? (this time il use time machine transfer)

    Just power off the machine(s). Shut them down. Migration Assistant gets 'stuck' sometimes - best way to migrate really isn't over Firewire, though it will certainly work, but with both machines hardwired via Ethernet to the same router. You can use a TM backup, too, of course, provided that it's recent. Which is the best? Your choice. I've done it both ways and have a preference for MA, but TM restore can be a bit faster and less quarrelsome.

  • Songs' library transfer from nano to MacBook Pro

    Just bought a macbook pro 13" retina transfering from a 7yr old dell pc realized that only half of the songs in the itunes transfered correctly.  My specific question is:  Is there a best way to transfer all of your songs' library from your ipod nano to the itunes in my macbook pro?   i found similar questions in the forum but date back to 2006 and I would like to have more up to date info..Thanks!!

    From your nano to MacBook?  If you still have the Dell, you can also go from Dell  to MacBook...
    To answer your question, you cannot transfer song files from iPod to computer using iTunes (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to your Mac.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the songs files are on your MacBook's drive, you can add them to your iTunes library.
    NOTE:  For songs purchased by you from the iTunes Store, you can also re-download them at no cost from the iTunes Store Purchased screen.

  • I installed Office:mac 2011 on my new iMac running 10.8.3 and discovoed my file transfer from my old macbook installed Office:mac 2088. Now I have both installed and none of the office apps work - I keep getting the same error message

    I recently purchased an iMac to replace my 2008 macbook.
    I used migration assitant to transfer all of my macbook files to the iMac. I noticed that I had the old 2008 version of Office:mac 2008 on the iMac and decided to install Office:mac 2011 which installed successfully.
    However, now I can't open excel or word or powwerpoint now using either 2008 or 2011.... I just get an error message saying there was an error and the app had to close. It offers to send a report to Microsoft.
    I tried moving Office:mac 2008 to trash but this didn't resolve the issue.
    Can anyone help (I am not a really sohpisticated user so be gentle)
    Thanks Dave

  • Mail transfer from the old macbook to the newer retina macbook pro

    Hey, My father moved from an old macbook to the new retina macbook pro about 2 months back. Now as he is a business man he requires all his emails from his old mac onto the new macbook. The problem is to integrate his old mail data with 2 months of his current mail data.
    All the instructions i have yet found online only seem to be for a new macbook where all the mail data and preferences could be transfered.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheers

  • Transfer from iPad to MacBook Air

    I'd like to transfer some songs from my iPad to my MacBook Air.  I understand this is possible but when I follow the steps I don't see a choice to transfer SELECTED items - only ALL the items I've purchases on my iPad will transfer.  Is there a way to select?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no way to select, Transfer Purchases will transfer all purchases.
    Anyway it's a good idea to have purchases saved on your computer, since Apple never promised it will be always available and if your iPad need to restore.

  • Transfer from iPad to Macbook pro

    Hello, I use to have a pc and it died, i bought a macbook pro and i would now like to transfer everything i have on my iPad (music, photos, etc ) onto my macbook but i don't know how to and my old computer is completely dead i can't get it to turn on, so i can't have access to my old files.
    Does any one has had this problem before ? I synchronised my ipad with the new itunes library, but only the things i bought via itunes store were transfered
    is there any way i could retrieve all my music and pictures ?
    Thank you for your help

    The iTunes content sync is one-way: computer to device. Apple makes no provision to extract synced content from your iPad. While you can "transfer" purchased content, non-iTunes purchased content & photos synced to your iPad require third-party software to extract from your iPad:

  • Transfer from Powerbook to MacBook Pro

    When I get my MacBook Pro will there be a problem using Migration Assistant to transfer my settings, files, etc. from my PowerBook to my MacBook Pro? I guess there's no reason it shouldn't...just didn't know if the settings from a non-Intel Mac would jibe with those of an Intel Mac!

    Migration Assistant is a mixed bag -- on the one hand, it does a great job of transferring over a wide variety of settings & preferences, mail accounts, etc.
    On the other hand, I've had some problems with it. After using it, I had the following problems:
    1. Screwed up printer drivers (solution: resinstall from OSX DVD)
    2. Spotlight index not working (solution : force rebuild of entire index using terminal)
    3. It copied over some KEXTs and Login Items that were not universal binary Stuffit, etc. (solution : look at system.log for errors on boot, and remove or update those items).
    A coworker and I both got MBPs this week. I used Migration Assistant -- he copied his files over by hand. Neither way was perfect. I had the problems listed above, whereas he would occasionally have the "oops, I forgot to copy my file" problem.

  • HELP - BLUETOOTH FILE TRANSFER FROM PC TO MACBOOK NOT WORKING....

    Hi,
    My Macbook is paired to my PC and both PC and Macbook can see each other...
    The Macbook can also see files in my PC and can directly "Get file"
    I can even "Send file" to my PC from the Macbook
    I can even do other tasks like deleting files from my PC etc from my Macbook...
    But When I try to send a file from my PC to my Macbook the transfer never works - The PC says: "Could not connect to the remote device"
    Help plz...

    On your dock or in applications in finder is an application called system preferences. Open it. Then click bluetooth. Go under sharing and set your bluetooth sharing options.
    Then under the system preferences there is another item called sharing. Check your firewall settings there.

  • Transfer from ipad to macbook?

    i have just purchased a macbook pro.It is my first mac.I have had ipad for a while.Can i transfer data from Numbers on ipad to macbook.Will the apps on my ipad work with macbook?

    The applications on your iPad are built to work with iOS - and your MacBook Pro works with OS X: a completely different operating system, so, no, your iPad apps will not work with your MacBook Pro.
    However, you should be able to use your Numbers files from your iPad on your Mac if you purchase Numbers for Mac in the Mac App Store - as a matter of fact, if you just bought a new MacBook Pro, you should get Numbers, Pages and Keynote free from the Mac App Store (if they're not already on your machine). I'm not certain how it works as I've not purchased a new Mac lately, but you should be able to get information from here -> http://www.apple.com/creativity-apps/mac/up-to-date/.
    Good luck,

  • Lost my hard drive. How to transfer from IPOD to MacBook -OR!- Match?

    I lost my entire harddrive on my W7 PC.  I have most (but not all) of my music on my iPod.  I just purchased a MacBook Pro, and iPhone 5, and subscribed to iTunes Match.  QUESTION: How can I transfer all the songs on my iPod, from the ipod up into iTunes Match?  In order to get those songs on ITunes in the new MacBook.  Or is there a better way?  Perhaps it is better to try and rip the songs off the iPod into iTunes and then up to iTunes Match?? 
    (Point of note - not all of these songs that I lost were from CD's, or from iTunes purchases.  Yes, many of them came from YouTube.  I mention it so as to save any misdirection people might offer as a solution)  Thank You!

    You can use MobiKin Assistant for iOS to transfer data or files from iPod to computer directly. It is an excellent software and can sync data from iOS device to computer easily. These data including text messages, contacts, music, photos, video, tv shows, voice memos, podcasts, ringtones, books, etc. Beside, it can support almost all iOS devices, including the latest iPhone 6 plus/6, iPhone 5s/5/4s/4, iPad air/mini, iPod, etc. High compatibility make it become the one of most professional iOS tools. You can have a free try. Believe it can help you a lots.

  • Best way to transfer from mid 2012 macbook pro retina to new mid 2014 macbook pro

    I'm updating to a new 2014 macbook pro.  am i better off using a migration assistant from one to another, or restoring from Time Machine (with ethernet to thunderbolt adapter)?  Or some other method?
    thanks,

    I have used the Setup Assistant during setup of OS X and I would use a current Time Machine back up to point to during Setup Assistant. I have also manually copied data and apps over from another Mac while on my network. Both take some time and both were equally successful.
    So, you have a choice after backing up your current Mac:
    Have both Macs on your network, run setup on your new Mac and afterwards manually copy files from the old to the new Mac.
    Run setup on your new Mac and use the Setup Assistant to migrate from a Time Machine back up all your user accounts, data and settings.
    Question on a similar line except I wanted to partition the drive that came on the new Mid 2014 MBPro (2.8 GHz, 1 TB SSD, 16 GB RAM).  Migrating from the old computer b/u seems pretty straight forward, but once the drive that come with the new MBPro is partitioned an install of OS X needs to be done.  Here's what I did, I installed the Mavericks I had purchased from the App Store when it came out.  Now, from reading here in the Communities, some have indicated the shipped Mavericks version is not the same as the App Store version.  Now that the shipped Mavericks is history (after the partitioning) should I try somehow to restore that from the Recovery HD/process?  Or ???
    This isn't my first rodeo, so I just went full speed ahead and did the partitioning and copied the former MBPro (early 2011) disk created by Carbon Copy Cloner over to the new boot partition.  It was suggested that an Erase and Install OS X could be done, but I don't see how that would bring the shipped Mavericks version for this new MBPro, unless the Recovery HD suite of utilities would go and grab that from Apple via Internet; which would be fairly lengthy since it would be via Internet connection.
    I'll back up a bit here for a second... I"m not experiencing any problems (kernel panics, etc.) but not sure if the system now is as it should be.  Hindsight being what it is I should have made a CCC copy of the shipped volume of Mavericks; if this is an issue. 
    The system seems to be running fine, and some of my "issues" (for lack of a better term) could be just the way the new Mid 2014 MBPro is handling things - like memory allocation (i.e. using close to the 16 GB most of the time) and kernel_task using 1 GB of memory - more at times).  Possibly if I wasn't a regular watcher of Activity Monitor I would just be plodding along, since the system seems to be working fine.  Occasionally some apps or their processes take a longer than I feel is what should be normal to do, hence looking at the Activity Monitor to see what is going on.
    Sorry for the long ramble.  Trying to see if I really have a problem that would necessitate a reinstall of Mavericks via Recovery HD; which could take up some valuable computer work time (which I'm also using posting here <grin>).
    Thanks in advance for any ideas, suggesting, etc.  Also, to the person who posted to my other question on this another thanks for those suggestions.  None of which I've done - yet.
    Take care all - and thank you again for  all the great minds who make these Community Boards work.
