Copy the QB data file from one Mac to the other.
The file you are looking for will have an extension like these examples.
*.QB2015 - QuickBooks 2015 for Mac company data file
*.QB2014 - QuickBooks 2014 for Mac company data file
*.QB2013 - QuickBooks 2013 for Mac company data file
*.QB2012 - QuickBooks 2012 for Mac company data file
*.QB2011 - QuickBooks 2011 for Mac company data file
*.QB2010 - QuickBooks 2010 for Mac company data file
Do not use import/export. It's incomplete.

How do I transfer my info from my old Mac Mini to my new one?

I have two Mac Mini's. The old one is a Power Mac 10.5.8 (no Intel) and the new one is a dual system running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. I only have one monitor and a wireless connection. How do I transfer my older files and applications from my old Mac to the new one? I bought a 40/80 Firewire cable and connected it to the proper ports, and changed the monitor setting to shared...held down the T and restarted the old Mac...still nothing. (These were tips I got from forums.) Anyone have other ideas?
Baring that, I also tried to save my files to a dvd and put them in a burn folder, clicked burn, but it wouldn't burn. I never used it before...am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Anna

AirPlay from MacBook to Mac mini?

I would like to use one of my mac minis in the office for presenting hooked up to a widescreen TV, however, I really want to AirPlay somehow from my MacBook to it? Is this possible? I realise an Apple TV would be best but I have a couple of mac minis kicking around...

No.
You need an Apple TV for video or airplay supported speakers for audio.

New iPad - how to copy/transfer Address Book from MacBook laptop ?

My wife has a new iPad and needs to transfer her contacts (Address Book) from her laptop MacBook to the iPad.    Can she also transfer photos and other stuff without using Cloud.

Transferred hard drive from Macbook to Mac mini and now have Disk Util prob

The problem is with Disk Utility. Basically, the DU window is just blank, that is, no hard drives show up in the left hand column. Also, none of the buttons at the top are clickable, though the menu bar drop down menus work. If I use Expose to push the window off the screen and then bring it back, then sometimes it shows the hard drive, but part of it's name will be cut off. Also, if the left hand side of the window is blank, but I right click somewhere there, it will behave as if I'm right clicking on the drive's name.
I also ran Disk Utility off the Leopard install disc and that's running fine. All the drives showed up fine and I repaired permissions and repaired the disks wherever possible. I also tried trashing the DU preference (plist) file, but that didn't help. I've restarted the computer multiple times and also tried from another account and still the same problems.
Like I mentioned, I'm not sure if this problem has anything to do with the mini or switching out the drive or if it was just coincidental with the drive exchange today. I can't remember the last time I tried using Disk Utility, but I'm sure it was some time ago.
The reason I was trying to open up DU was b/c my Time Machine backup drive is not being recognized by the mini as the backup (probably somehow it was tied to the Macbook), so I wanted to reformat it and start the Time Machine back ups all over again.
Anyway, I was wondering if you anybody had any suggestions. Maybe my Disk Utility program is somehow corrupted and I could reinstall just that program somehow? It almost seems kinda like a graphics issue since the window for DU kind of looks funny (things cut off, buttons disappear, etc.).
Update: I used Pacifist to extract the Disk Utility program from the Leopard Installer and it still has the same problem.

I see. Thanks for the info. Sounds like I may have already tried what you suggested, as I mentioned in my original post that, "I've restarted the computer multiple times and also tried from another account and still the same problems."
However, I haven't created a new account and tried opening DU when logged into that account. Do you think that may make a difference?
Thanks.

I dropped my macbook pro and the screen is broken can i still use it with an external monitor? Or can I or how do I transfer hard drive files to my mac mini?

I dropped my 17" macbook pro and the screen is broken. Can I still use it with an external monitor? When I plugged it into a monitor I had used it with before, I'm not able to see anything on the macbook screen to control it. It came on but I just got the blue screen with nothing else after typing in my password. (Didn't see the password form just assumed it was there somewhere and it did go from space to blue screen but no desktop icons, files, dock strip at top or anything else, just blank blue screen) so I can't access the system preferences.
Or can I / or how do I, transfer hard drive files to my mac mini? If not salvageable as is can I pull out the hard drive and make it an external harddrive? In otherwords is anything salvageable? It seems it's coming on I just can't access anything. BTW I was told it would cost aprox $1000 to replace the screen! I paid almost $4000 for this thing and it was running great - makes me sick to lose it!

I'd like to promise you that everything will be fine if you just get the monitor going - but it's hard to know what the hardware damage might be. It might be the monitor, or the damage might be greater.
Your best solution would be visit your local Apple Store and let them know what your situation is. They have access to diagnostics you don't, and they might be able to the best way to save your data and keep you computing. It's still not covered, but they can tell you what your current options are.
Um, you might consider investing in a backup drive.
And there other repair options, too. Powerbook Medic http://www.powerbookmedic.com/xcart1/pages.php?pageid=67 offers reliable repairs, and quotes prices well under Apple's.

I had a mac mini on snow leopard but it broke.I now have a macbook pro on leopard how do I upgrade using the disks from my old mac mini

can I use the osx disks from my old mac mini to upgrade my macbook pro so i can then get a further free upgrade

You can not use a DVD that shipped with one Mac to load on to another. To upgrade to Snow Leopard you will need to purchase the Snow Leopard DVD.

How can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive?

HHow can I transfer pictures from my old Mac mini to an external hard drive? Thanks.

Normally you should be able to drag and drop them onto the drive, provided the drive is Mac formatted. Have you already tried that?

Why no 1080p HD video on macbook pro/mac mini from itunes store?

Why can't you play 1080p video on a macbook pro or mac mini? This means you have to sync files which are over 1GB in size one at a time to the new ipad just to view them and this takes a long time. When at home, I use itunes via a macbook pro/mac mini for all my multi media connect to my TV, now I have GB's of files I cannot watch at home.
It kind of defeats the object, there is not enough space on an ipad to hold much HD content, certainly I will not be buying anymore HD video files from itunes for this reason. I am dissapointed to have wasted money on 1080p videos that I have to sync one at a time to a new ipad just to watch them. The new ipad screen is great but surely we need the option to watch 1080p HD video on out TV too? The crazy thing is that itunes/quicktime can easily handle 1080p video which is not from the itunes store so Apple must be deliberately restricting itunes bought 1080p HD video to the new ipad. One question.... why?

I use a 2010 MB to view my 1080 HD content from iTunes. It's connected to a 24" Samsung monitor. Plays back perfectly.
How old is your MBP? I have a 2008 black MB that handles 720HD content but stutters on 1080. It plays them but the picture isn't smooth as it should be.

How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower

How do I transfer Logic tracks from Macbook Pro to My Mac Pro tower?

Logic saves projects in the Logic folder, found in the Music folder.
Projects are saved into folders, which contain the Logic file, and any associated audio files, freeze files, bounces, et cetera.
These projects can be dragged to an external drive, a USB thumb drive, or sent via wi-fi over AirDrop.

Auto Sync iTunes Libraries between Macbook and Mac Mini?

I download and store all of my music on my Mac book. But I would like to know if it is possible to make it so that, if I add 3 songs to my macbook, my Mac Mini will reflect the same changes, and vice versa. Kind of like what Mobile Me does with iCal and Contacts.
So If I add a song on my Macbook, my home network would transfer the song to my Mac Mini and update the iTunes library?
And I'd rather not use an external network drive to keep my library on, because I need my music physically on my Macbook.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

There are a few utilities specifically designed to help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes

Transferring iPhoto book from MacBook Pro to iMac

Hi everyone
I am the proud owner of a new iMac. I am trying to transfer an album I started on my husband's MacBook Pro, but all I can do is to export the photos...I already imporated all my events from the MacBook to the iMac. Now, I was to save the work that i have done on the album itself. Is the transfer feasible? Tx

By album do you mean book? If so then you can't transfer a book from one library to another because the book is virtual, existing only in the database files of the library.
What you can do is duplicate the library with the book and in the copy delete all photos excecpt for those in the book. Then copy the book to the other Mac and use it to complete the book. You can copy additional photos/albums from the large library to the book library with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager.
This tutorial describes how to cull the library down to just the book: #9 - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09)/9(11) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date

Transfering audio books from MacBook to iPhone 5s

I just asked how to transfer audio books from my MacBook to iPhone5s and had a reply that it should work like it did with my iPod touch. Well it doesn't. I tried moving audio books into my iTine Library (which I never did with iPod). I started to synch individual books but stopped as it is confusing to me what gets saved and what gets erased. I've tried dragging several ways. Help!

Well, maybe it should but it won't work. I drag the file over to the iPhone and nothing happens. I thought maybe because the audio books weren't in iTunes, so I moved them to the library on my macbook and still nothing happens.

HT3231 What cables are necessary for the fastest transfer of data from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air

What cables are necessary for the fastest transfer of data from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air

As I posted "it is an Unknown", at least to me, what type FW port is on the OPs older Mac.

But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

Comparison of Macbook to Mac mini

Hello! I'm considering getting an Apple and have a question:
My wife's laptop needs to be replaced and I'm considering a new MacBook 13" laptop for my wife. We would use iLife for our family photos and movies.
When she is at home, she'd like to connect to a bigger screen, our Samsung 19" 913V.
I really have 2 questions:
1. What are the key differences between Macbook and Mac mini?
2. If we go with the Macbook 13" can we close the lid, can we connect it to the monitor and an external keyboard, external firewire drive just as we would with the Mac mini?
Thanks in advance!
Alan

The new Macbooks (Core 2 Duo 2.0/2.2 Santa Rosa) released in October 2007 now have an Intel GMA X3100 graphics processor with 144MB of DDR2 SDRAM shared with main memory, compared to the GMA 950 64MB of DDR2 SDRAM for the Mac Mini. I don't know about the graphic performance of those new Macbooks, but I have a Macbook from the previous generation with the same graphic interface of the Mac Mini and I can say I'm really satisfied. If you don't play high-end games (released in the last 2 years), you'll be OK. I play Warcraft 3 on my Macbook and it runs great, except the fans rev up to 5000 rpm, making the notebook noisier, but nothing shocking or disturbing. The Macbook is also great for anything like iDVD or iMovie, for average video editing.
If you want portability, play high-end games and do some heavy video editing, go with a Macbook Pro.
If not, just go with Macbook, this notebook kicks a**.
