Transfer Information From Another Mac - 10.6.7 to 10.6?

I have two MacBooks. MacBook A has Mac OS X 10.6.7 installed on it, whereas MacBook B I've put a new hard drive into, and I'm going to reinstall Snow Leopard from DVD, taking it back to 10.6.0.
My question is, if I use the "Do You Already Own a Mac?" part of the Snow Leopard installation, will I hit a problem migrating the data from a 10.6.7 Mac, over to a 10.6.0 Mac?
Ideally I'd like MacBook B to be on the latest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.7) before I migrate any data over to it. How do I do this?

Install your 10.6 system, using Setup Assistant from the installer to transfer all your stuff. This will give you a clean system with no permissions problems. Updating first and then using MA will very likely give you two accounts and a load of permissions issues.
Then download the 10.6.7 combo updater;  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361 and update.

  • What is the best way to transfer information from a mac to a pc?

    I need to get documents and photos off from my mac to transfer to my work pc.  They were originally pc files, but I recently purchased a mac and transfered them all to my mac.  Then my pc crashed and had to be wiped clean, so now I need to transfer some of them back to my pc.  I have them all on an external hard drive that I am using with time machine, but when I plug it into my pc it is no longer recognized and I can't even get into the files.  (I think it is partitioned for mac now)  Any help or suggestions?

    On the Mac, open the Migration Assistant located in the Utilities folder. To do this: In Finder, select Go > Utilities or press Shift–Command–U (⇧⌘U), then double-click Migration Assistant.
    Select the "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" option then click "Continue".
    When prompted, enter an administrator name and password.
    Select the "From another Mac or PC" migration method then click "Continue" to proceed.
    When prompted, click Continue to quit other applications. Other applications can't be open on the Mac during the migration process.
    Select the PC, then wait for the PC to show the passcode displayed on the Mac.
    On the PC, once you see the passcode displayed on the Mac, click "Continue" to proceed.
    The Mac will then begin to inspect your computer and build a list of information to migrate.
    Select the information you would like to migrate to the Mac, then click Continue to proceed.
    On both the Windows PC and Mac you will see a progress bar, messaging of what is being migrated and estimated time remaining. Once completed, you can log into the user account created. 
    Note: At your first login, you will promoted to enter a new password for the user account. See this article about how to choose a good password.

  • I can not transfer information from my Mac Mini  to my iPhone five

    Re syncing  calendar from Mac Mini to iPhone 5:   If I enter an event on my Mac Mini Calendar it does not transfer to my iPhone.  It works fine from my iPhone to my Mac Mini.  My i phone is using iOS 7.1.2.  My Mini's op sys is 10.9.4.  I have tried changing the settings on my phone, in my iCloud account and on my Mini.  I've become a bit confused.  Can you tell me what is wrong and how to fix it.  Chuckle, or tell me it can't be done.  Thanks, Bill Page

  • Itunes 11 manually transfer media from another mac

    I need to transfer a recently purchased book from itunes 11 on my macbook to an ipad paired with my imac.  Help!

    Do I need to download an update?
    Use Software Update to update iTunes if needed.  Read the iTunes/iPod Summary page to find out if your iPod Nano needs any updates which you can download from there.
    You cannot drag & drop anything to an iPod Nano.  You must sync - Syncing Music to iPod

    How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
    Be aware, your PBookG4 is a PowerPC where the new Mac is Intel. You may have PowerPC apps installed on the PBook that won't run on LIon v10.7 on the new Mac.

  • Transferring Firefox from another mac

    I lost safari, and the lame 'realplayer' browser I'm using won't
    manage a download of a new safari, or any other browser.
    So, I'd like to transfer Firefox from another mac in the house.
    Doable?

    If by 'lost' you mean the Safari application has been deleted and your other computer is the same processor and version of OS X, then you can do the same to copy Safari back to your Mac.

  • How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

    how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

    What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
    It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

    If you have Lion and wireless you can use Airdrop to copy files back and forth. (You don't need an internet connection, just two reasonably recent Lion machines with WiFi cards.)
    Can I use AirDrop with my computer?

  • How to transfer Signatures from one Mac to another

    In Mail, if I go to Preferences > Signatures, I see in the left column *All Signatures*, and signatures for various accounts.
    How would I transfer the signatures in *All Signatures* from one Mac to another?
    The names of files in the folder ~/Library/Mail/Signatures are all cryptic.
    Moreover, since each signature is tied to a certain account, I don't think that I can just copy these files into the Signature folder of the 2nd Mac.

    Simply moving these cryptic files did not work, in the sense that these signatures did not show up in the right-most column of the Signatures pane.
    I made sure that I did not move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder.
    So, would someone please share with me how to transfer signatures from one Mac to another, with both running Mail?

  • Transfer Information to This Mac from Encrypted Time Machine?

    I just got a new Macbook Pro (factory fresh) and wanted to move my data from my Encrypted Time Machine (on a USB drive).  The older Mac that I'm moving of off is running the 10.7.2 and I have been back it up daily to my Time Machine disk.
    I attach the USB drive but it doesn't show up or prompt me for my passphase. So I can not Transfer Information to This Mac from an encrypted time machine drive. That has to be a bug.
    Has anyone else tried this and gotten it to work?

    I backed up with a encrypted timemachine and needed to do a reinstall of my macbook pro OSX lion.
    When I reinstalled everything I lost a lot of files on the encrypted timemachine but it is still decrypting so I hope I get those missing files back or am kinda a dead man..
    Not sure if this helps.
