Transfering all my drive to another computer

okay so i have 2 computer on tiger 10,4,11.
one is an old powerbook and the other is a macbook intel...
i want to transfer all clone disk from the old powerbook to the macbook intel ?
1/ first is it possible ?
2/ can someone give me the precise process thrue carbon copy cloner ?

Your Users -> yourname -> Library and Users -> yourname -> Documents folder frequently hold the keys to preferences and license keys for applications.    Sometimes they get installed in Hard drive -> Library or Hard drive -> System.
So what you probably need to do is wholesale transfer just the applications that aren't already on the Intel Mac, since the ones on the Intel Mac are probably newer and work better with the Intel Mac.
The Users -> yourname -> Pictures have your iPhoto stored pictures, and Users -> yourname -> Music your iTunes stored music, and your Users -> yourname -> Movies the iMovie edited movies.  Those may be transferred as well.
The big problem becomes those applications that require specific drivers only on the PowerPC Mac, or were written well before Intel Macs were even a dream.  Those you'll probably need your PowerPC Mac until you can find an equivalent title.  Some you may need to simply contact the company for an update.  Others, ask here, and people can help.

    I've lost my safari and cannot re-install it.  How do I re-install it, if I do not have the disc?   Is there another way of getting access to the internet if I do not have safari on my Mac?

    If you have Lion v10.7 or Mountain Lion v10.8, the only way to reinstall Safari would be to reinstall OS X using Lion Recovery

It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there.  Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

    You can transfer itunes purchases:  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The exception is itunes purchases.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

    I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

    If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
    It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

    I restart my mac air accidentally during reinstallation, after I restart the machine again, I lost all the drives in my computer including win OS. what can I do?

    This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
    My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
    The mouse moves, but does not work.
    The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
    I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
    Firefox 18.4%
    Activity Monitor 0.9%
    Firefox Plugin 0.2%
    This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

  • I am losing a hard drive on another computer so I have downloaded all music to my ipod nano, when I sync the nano to my new computer and new itunes software it won't pick up the music from the old computer what do I do to successfully sync?

    I am losing a hard drive on an old computer so I performed a sync of all music from the old computer to my ipod nano.  Now when I sync my ipod nano to my new computer/Itunes all music will not upload to new computer/software.  What am I doing wrong?

      I’ve never needed to do that and am fairly new to using itunes but try doing this. Go to, “Store,” in the itunes menu and select, “Authorize this computer.” Enter apple id and see if that works. I heard that method is used to transfer purchased media to a new computer but I don’t know if it works for regular stored media. Please let me know if that works.

  • I lost my bookmarks after transporting hard drive to another computer, but I didn't save them in a specific folder, so how do I get them back?

    Our computer crashed almost two weeks ago so my dad took it to Best Buy to get it fixed, and they said that we were very close to the hard drive going out and losing everything. Luckily, they said that they could easily transfer all of our data into another computer, but that they would have to keep it over night.
    So they did, and when I got it back I immediately went to Microsoft Word (after we installed it again, of course) to see if all of my documents were there. (I am a writer, so it's very important to me.) Only half were there, so my father took it back and they said only half transferred, but they could transfer it all, no problem, it just has to stay over night again. (They also installed iTunes, etc. for us so we wouldn't have to. It was very nice of them.)
    When they gave it to my father, they said my bookmarks should be on there. Well, when we came home and hooked the computer up, the only book marks there were some from years ago, but not mine. I DIDN'T ever save my book marks to a specific file; I would just click the Bookmarks tab, hit Bookmark This Page, and then click Done, and it would appear at the bottom.
    Well, my book marks are not there and I cannot find them any where; no site has helped and they are VERY important. My dad refuses to talk to the tech guys again, so I would REALLY appreciate help.
    Thank you!!! :)
    P.S. I've made my own folder now. ( It seemed like a good idea. :] )

  • How to Move iTunes Library on an External Drive to Another Computer

    How do you move your iTunes library (including all your playlists) if your iTunes media files—movies, TV shows, music, etc.—are housed on an external drive, rather than the local drive on your computer?
    The usual advice concerns copying media files from one computer to the next, e.g.:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    But if your media is on an external device, you don’t want to copy it, just access it from a new device. You could plug the drive into your new computer and drag the media into iTunes, but then you would lose your playlists and other information.
    Fortunately, you can transfer an entire iTunes Library using the Export/Import function. The essential information is found in an Apple support document, “iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists”:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    Using this information, we can create a procedure for transferring both the media files that are on an external drive and the iTunes Library that goes with it.
    Here is the procedure:
    1. On the old computer, Export the playlist, using File > Library > Export Library. Transfer the resulting file to the new computer.
    2. You might want to note the number of music files, TV shows, etc. you have on the old system. Select View > Show Status Bar, then choose the “List” view, and this information will be shown at the bottom of the iTunes window. Also disable sharing, etc.; you may want to deauthorize the computer as well.
    3. Close iTunes on the old computer, dismount and disconnect the external drive(s). (Yes, this will work with media on multiple drives).
    4. On the new computer, close iTunes and delete “iTunes Library.itl” in the iTunes folder.
    5. On the new computer, Connect and mount the external drive(s).
    6. Open iTunes on the new computer. Choose Preferences > Advanced. Deselect (uncheck) both “Keep iTunes Media Organized” (because it’s already organized on your external drive, right?) and “Copy files to iTunes Media folder” (because the files are on the external drive). Then set your iTunes Media folder location to your media folder on the external drive and click on “OK”. (Note: don’t close iTunes after this step, because it will automatically reset your media folder to your local machine rather than the external drive).
    7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist and choose the file you exported from the old computer. This will import all the media you had on the old system into iTunes (no need to manually move anything from the external drive). The import will probably take some time.  (If you see that iTunes is copying files, you probably messed up Step 6; you can stop it and go back to Step 4 without harm).
    8. After the import, you can check the numbers you noted in Step 2; if there is a discrepancy that bothers you, check out the scripts “Music Folder Files Not Added” “List MIAs” and at http://dougscripts.com/itunes/.
    9. When everything is satisfactory, you can recheck “Keep iTunes Media Organized” and “Copy files to iTunes Media folder” in Preferences.
    10. You may now want to enable sharing, sync iOS devices, etc. Also be sure to set up your backup strategies on the new machine (you *do* have backups of your external drive(s), right?). If you already had some media on your new computer and you want to incorporate it into the external drive, choose File > Library > Consolidate.
    11. Oddities:
    * iTunes Extras must be manually imported.
    * Some of my movies & TV shows imported as “Home Video”.
    * Mobile applications did not import (presumably because no iOS device was synced).
    * Books that were once handled by iTunes are now handled by iBooks and will not import (to let iTunes see them again, you’ll need to add them manually to iBooks, then choose File > Move Books from iTunes). Audiobooks import okay, but you may have to authorize your Audible account.

    Or:
    Copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location in your user area on the new one.  Attach the external drive and start iTunes.  If you have put it in your Home > Music folder the application will automatically know to look for it there and becausse you are using the same library it will be configured to look for media on the external drive.

  • My iPhones gives me a message that I don't have enough storage to backup.  When I attempt to manage my storage it shows 1 backup for the phone I use and it's 5GB.  I have transferred all my photos to my computer hoping it would create storage but no good.

    My iPHone tells me I don't have enough iCLoud storage.  When I manage my storage from Settings it shows 1 backup for my primary phone and it's 5GB.  I understand that is what Apple provides for free and I could upgrade but I don't want to upgrade.  I have transferred most all my photos to the computer and I have no music on my device.  And this was several weeks ago and I have attempted to backup since hoping it would create a new backup but no good.
    I have even went in the backup and turned off Camera Roll since it's the largest but still no good.
    If you have any suggestions other than upgrade your storage plan please help.
    Thanks

    Try deleting the old backup.
    Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.

  • Transfering CS5 student version to another computer

    Hi, I've been reading that you can not transfer the liscence of a CS5 student version to another person, but what does this exactly mean? If I install the software on my desktop computer and my computer dies a week later am I out all the money I put into it? My understanding is that this is to prevent students from sharing the software, but does this mean that there is NO way to get it to another computer that I own or will own if I have trouble with the one that it is on??? help greatly appreciated and wanted

    Maybe this will help.
    Do Adobe Student and Teacher Editions have restricted functionality?
    Student and Teacher Editions have all the features and functionality of the commercial versions. The software may be used only on a privately owned computer, and the user may not transfer or resell ownership of the Adobe Student and Teacher Edition license.
    you have to activate the license and can only install it on one computer which means exactly that not what you wrote.
    You are reading it as if you want to find a way around this so you can share it with your friends.
    Do not try it.
    Install it on your computer and use it in good health. Read what is ays above do not listen to what your friends tell you, if you are doing so.
    What it says above is very different from what you say you understand, read it again.

  • HT1349 How do I backup photo folder that was transferred to my Iphone from another computer

    I had pictures tranferred from another computer to my Iphone 4s and I have done a backup to my Itunes however I can't find that folder on my MAC in Itunes. I want that picture folder in Itunes because I have purchased an Iphone 5s and want to tranfer everything to it  HELP

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

  • My MB crashed, a friend put our hard drive in another computer- windows xp, the original hard drive is running the computer and I don't have access to any of my bookmarks or history. I've searched through all the helps and nothing seems to fit my case.

    I don't know if I have a "profile", can't find the hidden files or instructions to find them, can't find the firefox.exe file on old hard drive - followed each solution as far as I could and nothing has helped so far.

    First of all please remember the advice in my post about backing up information and bookmarks before making changes. Note also
    *if you use options from Windows or Firefox to delete personal information it will (or at least will try to ) delete all information from all versions of firefox installed. Do NOT use such options it is likely to destroy History, Bookmarks and Passwords.
    * you will have only one copy of History, unless you manually backup the database places.sqlite you could easily loose all your History
    IIRC restoring a computer using Windows does not always work in restoring firefox properly, I seem to recall it does not restore all required files.
    ''So, I should be able to follow this help to take care of the problem? Just move it from the original drive to C drive/new profile that's currently running?
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    <u>Recomended method move ''places.sqlite''</u><br/>
    You will need to read the above linked instructions carefully. Rather than trying to move the profile itself I was expecting you to follow instructions to just copy required files such as the Bookmarks and History that would be in the database file ''places.slite''.
    <u>Advanced Method edit ''Profiles.ini' to point at original profile on other Hard Disk Drive'</u><br/>
    There is an alternative method and that is to leave the old profile where it is and use that with the new Firefox installation. I tend to manually move profiles but this is not really recommended as it is easy to make mistakes. You will certainly find the method in the above paragraph easier If you want to try the alternative method then note that
    *a file called ''Profiles.ini'' will need editing
    *you will need to use Relative=0 and the full path
    * see
    ** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file
    ** http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder#Modify_profiles.ini_to_point_to_the_new_location_-_Advanced
    <u>Copy old profile content to New profile</u><br/>
    This should be relatively easy and work If the versions of Firefox are the same and the original profile was working properly. Note you copy the contents and all sub files and folders, but you do not copy the folder name. So do not completely overwrite the new profile, this is because they will have differing names, Firefox adds pseudo random strings to the name.( In the case of your original profile; from your above post; that includes '''''i7twob91''''' in the name)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder#Create_a_new_profile_and_migrate_your_old_data <br/>(Note you will not need to create a new profile in your case it will already exist)
