Transfer Users and apps on new drive

I bought a Solid state drive and want to use it only as a start up and to use my apps on, I was going to use migrate assistant but it wants to transfer everything.
Anyone have any ideas to get all my settings etc to the other drive while using the second drive with itunes.
My back-up is a 2TB drive and the SSd is 120g.

Move the home account or just the media data to another hard drive.
User Account control panel (unlock advanced options) lets you point to any location for your home_account.

  • HT201302 transfer photos and apps to new phone

    so i activated my new iphone 5 today and seem to be having a problem. After i backed my old iphone 4 information to my computer i plugged in my new phone transfer all content over. The only thing that transferred were the contacts! is this normal? all of my pictures, apps, and content are not showing. I contacted apple and they basically told me to go in itunes under edit and preferences and check some boxes whih i have done. However, when i am connecting the new phone to to computer it still doesn't want to sink the content?

        @Balairo, what make/model phone did you have? Some devices have a memory card that you can transfer from the old phone to insurance replacement phone. I apologize that if the screen is non functional, there is no other additional option other than connecting it to a computer to upload your pictures to a PC. I hope this information is helpful to you. ^LH

  • Upgrading stock hard drive: how to copy lion and files to new drive

    Per above, I'm planning to replace my stock 5400rpm drive with a new Western Digital Scorpio Black drive this evening.  I want to transfer all my files, folders, and applications from the old drive to the new one.
    I have an external drive, which has my Time Machine backup.  Can I use that backup to just restore everything after physically installing the new WD? Mor is there a better way?

    I would get an enclosure in which to place your old drive. Then boot from the external drive, partition and format the new drive then clone the old drive to the new one:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Clone Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue button.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new drive. Source means the external old drive.

  • ITunes Music and Apps in C Drive

    I'm using iTunes in Windows. It is storing all the imported Music files and apps in C drive which is taking upto 15 GB.
    All the apps are already available in my iPhone and iPad. If I need to install any deleted app I can download and install. So is there anyway to prevent app backup while syncing?
    Also all my music files are available in D Drive. So is there any way to prevent backup of music files in C Drive?

    Open Finder. Press shift+command+H. Go to Music>iTunes. Drag and drop the iTunes Contents folder onto iTunes (you should see a green + sign when you mouse over).

  • Transfer System Folder/Apps to new hard drive?

    I just got another G5 because my old one has some corrosion problems. My new one has 2 hard drives a 160GB and a 1TB drive. In my old G5 was a 80GB HD which I do not trust but I would like to use the System folder with all my Applications from it in the new one. Is there an way to get my old System Folder from the 80GB with all my Applications to copy and work on one of my new drives??
    Installing all my old applications would be a real pain.

    Use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder or a program such as SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to duplicate the existing Mac OS X installation to another drive or partition.

  • How can I transfer music and apps from 1 ipod to another?

    My computer crashed and my 2 sons got new ipod toches 4th gen and all of their music and apps were on that computer. Is there anyway to transfer contents from their old ipod to their new one?

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • How do I download current music and apps to new ipod touch from old ipod touch?

    My daughter is getting a new IPod Touch and we aren't sure how to transfer all the apps and music to the new one. Does it download easily from her account when she registers the new IPod. We don't want to have to buy everything all over again.
    Thanks!

    You can sync as many ipods as you like to one computer.
    Plug in the new one and sync whatever you lime to it.
    Everything that is on the old ipod should be on your computer.

  • Want to transfer songs and pics to new computer without old one

    My old computer, somethings really wrong with the drivers, and it doesn't recognize my ipod or any usb device (we have given up trying to fix it, we've tried like everything, including reinstalling windows, therefore deleting all of my songs and itunes and everything. But the problem persists, and I can't even charge my ipod because its not recognized.)
    So I bought a new laptop, and I want to transfer the songs to my new computer. Is that possible without using my old computer? and how do I do it? All the songs that I want to transfer are already on my ipod (at least I think that are, i can still listen to all of my songs on my ipod if I charge it with someone else's computer...and none of them are from the itunes store). What steps do I need to take to transfer them and is there a risk of all of my songs being deleted for some reason during transfer?
    Help me please! and if you can't help me, is there any way I could email a tech support person who could?

    There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
    Finally, If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes 7 installed hold down the Control and Alt keys (or Shift + Ctrl keys in older versions). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod

  • Restoring Old Apps on new drive

    I purchased a new HD for my mac and I've already installed the OS, but I want to restore my old documents and apps to the new drive. How do I do this?

    If you have a full Time Machine backup, you can restore your *entire system* to the exact state it was in at the time of the last (or any other) backup. See item #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
    Or, since you've already installed Leopard, you can use it's normal "set up" procedure, then towards the end, where it asks if you already have a Mac, you can choose to "migrate" from the backups, as detailed in the *Erase, Install, & Migrate* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine post at the top of this forum.
    Or, you can use the Migration Assistant app, in your Applications/Utilities folder. Just start it up and follow the on-screen instructions.

  • How do I transfer library and playlists from external drive to PC?

    My old PC with iTunes died for good. Luckily library and playlists were save on and external hard drive. How do I transfer my library and playlists from that drive to another PC (Windows XP) and are the arrangement of tracks within the playlists included?

    Correction to my last post (in bold): I'll try to explain what I did originally, not knowing everything that would be required to transfer, so you can better understand my situation. Just before my first computer died I saved my Music folder containing iTunes, Library, and Playlists folders to an external drive, so I no longer have programs, sub-folders or other information rooted in my first computer. I then downloaded iTunes to my second computer (Dell Vostro 1520, WindowsXP). I then dragged my Music folder from the external drive to iTunes 11.1.5.5 music tab and near as I can tell the library was transferred because in the Songs tab, the tracks are there in duplicate, one with the exclamation at the left and one that functions playback. (However, my total song number is doubled and that can be addressed later if it doesn't impede anything). In individual playlists each track within has a “not connected” mark. I have an extensive playlist catalogue so I would rather not have to reconnect them one by one. Can you think of a solution where I don't have to do that? Would you like more info? Aragorn
