Transferring data mac to mac

Does anyone know how to transfer data from my old macbook to my new desktop imac? I have tried the migration assistant but that didn't get any of my itunes music or anything else on it?? Any ideas other than directly getting a firewire or ethernet cable?

Copy the files to an external drive or use file sharing over AirPort.
If you ran the Migration Assistant after setting up a user account, open the Users folder on the internal drive, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, and rearrange the items inside as desired.

  • HT3258 after   transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?

    How can I see the      data and application that I transferred from Old Mac to New Mac?
    Transfer of all the files and application was successful but I can't see it on the New Mac.
    Help.

    Thanks for your reply
    I did reboot the system.
    still can't see new user.
    One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
    at the end a message came up
    " 2013-09-11 04:18:05 +0000 Paul Nirwan could not be created.
    I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
    and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
    Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
    How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
    It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.

  • Black screen after transferring data to new Mac

    I just migrated data to my new Mac from my old one using the Migration Assistant. The old Mac indicated the transfer was complete, but I can only see a black screen on the new Mac, even after turning it on and off.

    The way the link in my last reply said:
    Starting up in Safe Mode
    Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
    Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
    After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.

  • Transferring data to new mac without old one

    I am in Africa and planning to leave my laptop behind and buy a new one when I return to the US. I want to transfer music, pictures, and some documents on pages to my future mac. I currently have a mac notebook that is about 6 years old and I think the most recent software it has is snow leopard. I do not have a flash drive or external hard drive. I have wifi most of the time but it is ungodly slow and spotty. Is there a way to transfer the data without having both the old and new mac next to each other? I would also prefer to find a way that does not require a flash drive or external hard drive because I would have to ship it here and whether it would get here not broken, not stolen, and within two months before I leave is extremely questionable. Thanks for your help!

    Taking out the hard drive is almost as easy as removing he battery! You'll need a small 00 Philips screwdriver and a T8 torx driver to remove the hard drive bracket. Here are instructions. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514/1

  • Transferring data from one mac pro to another with firewire

    I have owned an ibook G4 and a Macbook pro 17 in. The Macbook Pro 17 in was a 2006 and the video went out on it/conveniently 1 mo after Applecare expired!. I took it in and the genius bar sent it out to the depot but they determined it was damaged and refused to fix it (it had a tiny dent on the lid that I do not know how it got there unless the mag adapter did it while in the case). So I lost a $3k laptop. I now have a new Macbook Pro 15 in just purchased and I transferred all the data from the ibook G4 and the 17 in. by firewire using migration assistant. The problem is I have about 5 accounts now because it would not let me transfer things under the same name so I had to rename accounts and create new ones in order to transfer stuff. My question is, how do I go about incorporating all the accounts into one on this new 15 inch MBPro?

    Target disk mode may be what you're looking for. Hold down the "T" key while booting. See the Apple support article for more information.

  • Transferring data from one mac to another

    I recently bought a second hand mac from ebay and it was pretty empty. There are some settings still from the previous user.
    My old mac's backlight has died and the only way to use it is to link it up to my tv.
    I have tried using the Migration assistant via WI-FI and ethernet cable and both haven't worked.
    I'm considering taking the hard drive out of the mac and using it as an external hard drive. There are a couple of programs i've tried to download but dont work and i'd really like my firefox settings back!
    I was also wondering if i was able to take the RAM from the old mac and install it in the new mac?
    All suggestions welcome.

    The model 5,1 is the Aluminum Unibody and doesn't have a FireWire port which would be the easiest way to transfer.
    To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
    Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/SATA-Hard-Drive-Case-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_cp_e_0
    You can't take the RAM from the 3,1 and put it in the 5,1. The model 3,1 (Late 2007) uses 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM and the model 5,1 (Late 2008, Aluminum Unibody) uses 204 pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM
    However RAM is cheap for the 5,1 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

  • Time Machine back up to transfer data to new Mac.

    Hi - I am trying to transfer my old Mac data to my new Mac via Time Machine and an external hard drive.  When prompted to select a back up source, "Time Machine Backups" shows as an option. On the next screen, "No OS X system back ups were found" appears.  In the notes it says only complete back ups of Mac OS X appear on the list.  I'm transfering data from a Mac OS X Version 10.6.8.  How do I make sure it is complete?  I just backed it up again from my old Mac to make sure it was the most recent data.
    Thank you.

    There is something incompatible would be my guess. Did you disconnect all your peripherals in safe mode just to check?
    You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
    I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

    I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

    Here's an easy way:
    Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
    Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
    That should do it.

    Historically I have always used PCs so until last year I didn't own a Mac, although I use them at work. This means I have a huge amount of files and data stored on external hard drives. I now run Snow Leopard but also run Windows 7 in inside VirtualBox because not all software I own is available for the Mac.
    The problem I have is that Snow Leopard and Windows handle file creation and modification dates differently. So if I save a file on my Mac HFS+ disk in Snow Lepoard, Windows cannot read the dates correctly.
    I have MacFuse running in Snow Lepoard in order to access my NTFS+ disks but saving files on there still doesn't resolve the issue. Recently I created network drive shares to my NTFS disks in Windows 7 so I could access them. However when I copy files from my Digital Camera on to them, it changes the creation date whilst keeping the modification date unchanged. I use the creation dates to title my MPEG4 AVI videos so I cannot afford the dates to change. If those contained metadata, similar to EXIF data, it wouldn't be such a problem but they don't.
    Does anyone know a way of safely transferring files or a program which converts files between Mac and PC. I know of MacDisk but would allow resolve the date issue or simply place files on a HFS+ disk with the windows creation date format. Thus rendering the dates wrong when used in the Mac. I just need a conversion tool between the two. I can't use FAT32 because I also work with digital video from time to time.
    Kind regards

    So to understand your issue.
    You have lots of old drives running with the NTFS file system.
    Now that you have a MAC you want to keep using these drives in the same way.
    The issue is that the MAC is writing the day you copied the content onto the hard drive in NTFS external drives as the creation date?
    Is this correct?
    If so, I believe that you are trying to do a Windows thing in a MAC world....
    I am using Parallels and VM ware. I cannot see any problem with VMware and the file creation dates in either MAC or XP. I have created new files in each, crossed over to the other operating system and modified the files. Both files are correctly displaying the content the way they need to be with the correct modified and created dates. The VMware and MAC OS use the mac file system as a base.
    I would try to save the digital photos to the external drives while in windows. If you need to use the MAC when doing this I personally would copy off all the old PC files onto my mac and then reformat the external drive as a MAC file system drive. Then copy the files back to the external drive from the MAC. If you are using VMware this drive can be useable by windows as a "shared folder".
    If you acknowledge the external USB drive as a USB device in WMware it will of course be in MAC file system format so the new formatted drive will only be viewable in the Computer Management application (WinXP ) And it will not show up as a drive.
    To get around this I created a new shared folder in the VMware (Settings -> System Settings -> Sharing) and just simply chose the entire portable drive as a shared folder. Works like a charm. Now WinXP can use the VMware Tools app and properly translate the file content over the the MAC drive. I just created a few files and don't see any issue with the file creation dates.
    MAC doesn't use NTFS for its file system and since NTFS is a windows technology, probably cannot? If anything the software that is allowing you to write to the NTFS drive is probably emulating something and that piece of software is at fault. I have an old NTFS drive and don't remember being able to write to it natively from the MAC OS.... In fact my new 1TB drive was purchased to allow me to transfer all my old data off the legacy drive so that I can update it to the new MAC world
    Though even more then this... I personally never rely on something so fallible as a computer maintained "created on" or "modified on" concept as these are subjective. As of the new millennium file names have been basically unbound. I would instead append the date and time to my file name as follows.
    201007310300 Some Name of a File.jpg
    this way no matter what is done with the file you still have the all important creation date.
    An apple script should be able to be created to look at the creation dates on the files as they are stored on the mac and append the date to the file name. (basic shell scripting)
    And if this doesn't work for you, perhaps the Linux file system is a better option? I believe that MAC will play nicer with Linux. And I know that there are software drivers to read a linux drive on a PC. Again, though, creation dates can easily change and are no guarantee as to when a file was really created.
    So to conclude. All of my external drives are in MAC FS. If I need to copy files to a PC I can use my new 64GB flash drive. (I mean that is a HDD all in to itself!) If you are stuck in NTFS land, save the files via your Windows emulation.

    Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
    To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
    After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

    Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant do not restore MS Windows, it only does the OS X partition. All of your Windows stuff must be backed up and restore using a MS Windows application. If no one on this forum is able to answer your question then I'd repost it on a Parallels forum to see how other Windows users approach this.

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

    after transfering data froAm my pc to mac using windows migration assist, where do the data go to on my mac please?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    By default, Migration Assistant creates a new user account where it puts all the transferred data. Just go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will be able to access to the transferred data.
    If you want to merge the data into the first user account, use the Shared folder (it's in /Users/Shared) to put the transferred files there, and then, on the first user, go to the Shared folder and put all the data in the folders you want
