Transferring photos from new Macbook Pro to older laptop
My new MacBook Pro has Thunderbolt and 800 Firewire and I need to back up 26 GB of photos to an older laptop MacBook with Firewire 400. I dont want to do it over the network which is too slow for this much info. Any suggestions?
I do this kind of thing quite a bit, and it all depends on what kind of storage options that are available.
1. I have several pen drives, a few 16gb in storage, that I use to transfer data from one computer to another. If you have 26gb of music, the transfer should't be too long.
2. I also own a few Seagate portable drives, which are great for transferring data. It's also fairly fast. I use a USB to USB2 cable to do the transfer; my cable came with the drive.
One easy way to figure out which cable you need would be to visit your Apple Store; they should be able to tell which cable to purchase.

I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.
What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)
Easy? Right?
Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro onto my Iphone (using itunes, 4 years ago). My macbook is now dead and I need to get the photos I saved off of my iphone 3GS transferred to a pc. Any help... From my PC I can only access "internal storage"
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The picture sycn is one way - computer to iphone. The photos are also reduced in size when synced to iphone so they are not of the original quality
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup of your computer.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good at all, you can e-mail the pics to yourself - keep in mind they will never be of the original quality -
I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)
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 -
Migrating info from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro and original laptop loses charge midway thru. After charging again how do I get things going, do I start from the beginning?
Agreed. Don't even think about starting a long, disc-intensive process like that without both machines powered by AC.

Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software. Thanks.
Some decent suggestions for apps to do this in this thread:

How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?
How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?
You can go into your pictures folder in your user folder on your old computer and copy the iPhoto Library file (should be fairly large) either directly to the new computer or to an external drive. Copy the old iPhoto Library over to the new pictures folder on your new computer. The old iPhoto Library should overwrite the iPhoto Library on your new machine. When you fire up iPhoto on your new machine, everything should be there in the same form as it was on your old machine.

How do I get photos from my MacBook Pro onto my iPhone?
I have a Macbook Pro and I am wondering how I can easily transfer photos from my MacBook Pro on to my iPhone 3GS?
Because I didn't want, or need, ALL my Photos on my iPhone...
I Created an Album in iPhoto and called it " My iPhone Photos "...
And put just the Photos I wanted into it...
Now when I Sync my iPhone... I just Check / Tick that Album...

I saved photos from my Macbook Pro and sold it. Now I want to access those pictures from the Macbook Pro on my desktop Mac. Is this possible?
That would depend on where you saved the photos. I assume they are on an external drive or a cd(s) or DVD or USB drive. Hook whatever device they are on to the desktop Mac, open iPhoto and do an Import to Library from the File menu.

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I transferred my CS4 from my older MacBook Pro to my new computer, and although it seemed to be working fine now some fonts will not work when PDFing documents from InDesign CS4. These fonts are installed on my new computer, can be found in InDesign CS4, and work fine within the program but will not appear in PDFs. The letters turn into rectangles. Does anyone know why, and how to fix that?
Help/input would be much appreciated. Thank you!
Kristen.you should properly install adobe products, not move, migrate or otherwise transfer them.
