  • I cannot find videos (not movies) that i have transferred to my macbook pro from an external hard drive, these files used to be on my windows PC!

    I cannot find videos (not movies) that i have transferred to my macbook pro from an external hard drive, these files used to be on my windows PC. Photos and a few of the videos came over but i am missing the majority of the videos. Help please!!! I have tried omnidisksweeper with no success in finding them.
    in my Usage it says i have over 40 gb of movies when i only have about 9gb which i can see using spotlight search. i really hope the other amount is my missing videos! these are videos of my kids as babies.

    Read this post and do the migration again, putting the library in a portable shape first if necessary.

  • I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?

    I have inherited an ICloud account from one of my employers when transferring from old MacBook Pro (which belonged to them) to new MacMini and need to separate from this, presumably by setting up a new ICloud account.  How do I do this ?  And is there any danger, in doing so, that I might delete any of her ICloud information ?

    Sign out in System Preferences>iCloud. This will remove any synced data such as Calendars, emails and Contacts from your Mac, but will have no effect on the data on the server - so that other devices logged into it will continue to see the data.

  • How can I tell if data was transferred to my MacBook Pro after the Migration Assistant process was stopped?

    I began Migration Assistant and after about 4hrs into the transfer I decided to quit. How do I find out if any data was transferred to my Macbook Pro from my Windows 7 pc?

    As long as you are behind a router, you don't need to have your firewall turned on at all, in fact it probably slows your computer and/or internet connection down a bit. The only time you need it is to either protect yourself against intrusion from others on your local network or if you hook your computer directly to a cable / DSL modem.

    Hello - tried to upgrade to Lion (software all up to date) could not carry out as disk corrupt - tried to fix using disk utility, no luck, tried through install discs, noluck, screen went grey, went through all the troubleshooting steps advised - could get hard drive button up but wouldn't launch - took the last troubleshooting step (before wiping hard drive) and transferred data to MacBook Pro - all fine except for iPhotos - comes up as "locked volume" - have been through all the trouble shooting steps to all read/write access - file info says I have read/write access- any ideas - otherwise I have lost a bucket load of photos :-(
    Thanks

    In the future always backup your data before updating.

  • How do I get Iwork08 to work after transferring my old macbook pro information to my husband's newer macbook pro?

    I do I get iwork 08 to work on my husband's macbook pro?  I had an older macbook pro and he gave me his newer macbook pro.  So, I transferred all the stuff on my old macbook pro to his along with me being a new user/administrator, etc.  Now, when I try to create documents or try to print out something, iwork doesn't work, b/c I am logged on as a new user.  Help!

    He did have iwork installed, but it won't work for me.  When I transferred it to myself as new user, if gave me a trial period of 30 days, I was wondering why that was.  After the 30 days,  it said that I needed to put the serial number in from the iwork boxi or if I bought it from the app store, a serial number could be given to me.  Also, if I didn't have the box or the serial number, I could buy one?  My husband got the computer in 2008 and had the iwork 08 software and installed it.  Now, I guess since it has transferred over to a new user, I have to buy another iwork just to print out anything?  I don't get it. 

  • Transferring Music from Macbook pro to iphone

    So I just bought my new macbook pro and I have already transferred all my music from my iphone onto the computer itself. However, throughout the day I have been dowloading music from the internet using a youtube converter site. They dowloaded onto the computer and are in my library. However, I have been trying all day to now transfer those new songs onto my iphone. Everytime I try to drag it onto the iphone it just doesnt do anything. Can anyone tell me why???
    -Thanks

  • Problems transferring data from MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro

    I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I am having problems transferring data from my old MacBook Pro. I am using an Apple Thunderbolt to FW adapter to hook both computers and I am using the Migration Assistant. Everything looked ok until the "Transferring Your Information" screen got stuck. It says that it is "Transferring your Application folder..." And it has been stuck for at least the last two hours giving a message that says "About 3 minutes remaining..." This is starting to get ridiculously annoying. Options?

    I guess I am finding my own way as time progresses and frustration increases but these are two things that I have found so far:
    1. Transfering from one machine to another does not seem to be the most efficient way to do this so using the TimeMachine backup must be the way to go...
    HOWEVER
    2. In this process I also found another "complication" called: Legacy FaultVault - My computer is encripted and I used this now so called "Legacy FaultVault" app to do it (when it was no a Legacy!). The thing is that you can not transfer documents from your TimeMachine backup to your new Mac if the Legacy Fault Valut is active on your old machine so you first need to desactivate the encription. HOWEVER, this brought another issue...when I tried to desactivate the encription using the Legacy FaultVault screen I got a message saying that I did not have enough disk space to allow me to do that....Isn't that great??? This is a problem by itself and it seems to have some sort of solution I was reading about (not straight forward at all). What I am trying to do now is to copy the folder that contains my files and just paste them on my new machine to see if that works....it looks like my apps are on my new machine, unsure if they are working...need to test this next....
    I guess the transfer machine to machine could have sorted out the conflict eventually...after tens of hours or maybe not! Who knows....
    A very frustrated Apple fan...
    I love Apple products but this is an ISSUE...I feel like there is lack of adecuate documentation around to deal with this or the data transfering apps should be able to deal with this on a more efficient way....just saying...

  • Transferring to a Macbook Pro Retina

    I am trying to transfer the contents of my Windows 7 Laptop (64 bit) to my new MacBook Pro Retina.  I have the two connected with an ethernet cable and have disabled both firewalls as well as the antivirus on the old laptop but it doesn't seem to be working.  Advice?

    Thanks Kappy but I've been using both.  Do you know if there's something that I have to do regarding the ethernet-USB adapter before I use it? I bought it specifically for this purpose and I just plugged it in and am using it.  As I think I said, the user account gets transferred pretty quickly (~1 minute) but it has no contents.  I'm sure the problem is in that areae some where because when I click "continue" with the box checked for the 0 kb user account transferred folder, I get a message that the connection was lost. Click continue again and it says my data has been successfully migrated and is ready to use.. When I check, nothing has been transferred.  .

  • Transferring Data between MacBook Pro and iMac

    My husband has a MacBook Pro as well as an iMac. He uses the laptop when we travel. when we bought the laptop, we transferred all the data on the iMac to his laptop using a firewire connection. It was months ago and I am having trouble remembering just how we did it. Now, though, he wants to copy data from his laptop to his desktop and I need help working that out. He has Entourage installed and that is what he uses for his mail, documents, etc. Where do I go to find those folders and how do I get them onto his iMac. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

    It would be a mistake to replace a new fully functioning system on your iMac with a potentially dysfunctional one on your MBP. If you need to transfer personal data then you can connect the two via FireWire cable and use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data manually. If you have a MobileMe account, then you can sync your Mail accounts, iCal calendars, Address Book entries, and Safari bookmarks that way.
    You can use ordinary backup software to sync two computers connected by FireWire and using Target Disk Mode. You can use a USB flash drive depending upon the amount of data you need to move between the two computers. You can use an external hard drive as intermediary. However, Time Machine is not a utility intended to keep two computers synced.
    You should give thought to what you need synched, as your question seems to imply you think that means everything, but I doubt that's what you had in mind.

  • Transferring files from MacBook Pro to new iMac via Firewire

    Hi guys
    My MacBook Pro is seriously on its way out and I would like to transfer my music files, work documents, photographs, videos etc. onto my brand new iMac and the best way to do this I would think would be to link the two up via Firewire. The MacBook Pro is no longer accepting my external hard drive and fails during during DVD's, so those options are out.
    So I was wondering if someone could advise me on what type of Firewire cable to get. As far as I'm aware I didn't get one with either the MacBook Pro or the new iMac, so I think a purchase is necessary however, I've spotted that there are different kinds with different ends, some which have 6-pin, 8-pin and 9-pin and I have no idea what to get. Could someone advise me on what would be the best item to get for this situation?
    My MacBook Pro is one that was the model before the black keyboards came back in, and the iMac is the brand new one at 21".
    Thanks for your help guys.
    Steve.

    Hi
    FireWire 800 / FW800 / IEEE 1394b uses a 9-pin connector for both the imac and the macbook pro.
    good luck.

  • Transferring photos from MacBook Pro to a SD Card

    Hello, New chap on the block and a complete ignoramus!
    I have just moved from a windows 7 based laptop to Macbook Pro with OSxLion.
    I am slowly learning, howevr I have two problems that I cannot seem to resolve.
    1: I put my 2gb brand new SD Card in the slot and up it comes as a crd icon with the label No Name.
    I try and transfer photos from my MacBook to the card so that I may take them to the shop and put the card in thier machine and print them off.
    No Joy! I cannot drag or paste anything to the card!
    I have been to disc utilities to format to what I do not know but anyway  the only thing I can do is verify, everything else is grayed out.
    Please can anyone advise?
    2: I did manage to transfer  some of my photos to a USB stick, but when I went to the shop and put said USB into the machine the stick was not recognized!
    So, there are my two questions, any advice would be gratefully received. Thank you for reading this.  Mike T

    Is the Lock slider on your SD card in the locked position?
    Is your flash drive formatted FAT32 or NTFS? It probably has to be to work in the store's reader.
