copy the entire iTunes folder to the new machine. on the new machine, launch iTunes with the option key pressed. a dialog will open, asking you if you want to create or choose a library. select choose and navigate to the iTunes library file you just moved.

Use the Migration Assistant app.

I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

Removing pictures and music files from my old Mac Book Pro

Hi I hope someone out there can help me with this question,
I have an older MacBook Pro with IOS 10.9.2 Mavericks I want to remove all my pictures, music and documents and put them on discs since my new MacBook Pro with Retina Display does not have a HDD and only has 125GB drive. How can I safely remove all my items unti a disc.

I'm not sure I understand the problem.
You need an external drive. You can store your documents on there, and then wipe the disk of the old MBP.
You can then access the documents on the new MBP from the external drive.
One other thing: you do already have a backup, don't you? A backup should be on a separate physical device from any other copy of your files. Make sure you have two copies of your files before deleting the originals on the old MBP.

Slideshows not working after transferring from old Mac Book Pro

I recently bought a new Mac Book Pro (10.9.2). I moved over all my photos from my old Mac Book Pro and while all of my photos and albums are intact, none of my slideshows are. The photos play sporadically and the music and Ken Burns effects no longer work. I have no problem creating new slideshows from new or the old photos but I don't want to have to re-do my 40 old slideshows. Am I barking up the wrong tree thinking they should be intact and working? Any suggestion on how tho fix this.

Command (right) - click on the hard drive icon on the Desktop and select Get Info from the contextual menu:
This is how the EHD should be formatted:

I need to connect my old Mac book pro to the new one to transfer files. The old one doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Will the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter or Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work?

I want to transfer data from my old Mac book pro to my new one using migrate. The old computer doesn't have Thunderbolt 2 and the new one doesn't have Firewire 800. Does the Thunderbolt to Firewire or the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter work to connect them and transfer data?
Thank you!

Yes, use a Firewire cable and the FW to Tbolt adaptor.

Upgrading from OSX 10.4.9 to OSX 10.6.8 on old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer)

Greetings
I was wondering what the steps and cautions are to upgrade from OSX 10.4.11 on an old Mac Book Pro (2nd computer for shared use in household for emails, etc.) 2.33 Inel Core 2 Duo to OSX 10.6.8 or highest that I can?

You will need to get a 10.6 Snow Leopard retail disk which I don't think are still available from Apple.
Google "buy mac 10.6 snow leopard" to get an idea of current pricing. You'll need updates to10.6.8 in order to upgrade to 10.7 (the early core duo MBPros can not do this) or possibly 10.8 but check the exclusion list to be sure.

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your Mac and into iTunes.

Once you have successfully done that you can go ahead and choose Erase and Sync when you plug your iPod in.

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
But it don´t work on my new Mac...
In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.

Adobe programs don't do well with migration. You should uninstall them, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall from the original installers, but you also need to be aware that many older programs are not supported on newer versions of OSX so this may not go smoothly.

I have purchased the last Creative Suite available on disk. It will load on my old Mac Book Pro. I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and just realized there is no place to put a disk. Is there any way to load the programs to my new computer?

Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.
