    If they're both on the same network you can enable file sharing on both and transfer files through your LAN, you don't need any cables.

  • What cable do I need to transfer files to my 2013 iMac from my 2009 iMac?

    what cable do I need to transfer files to my 2013 iMac from my 2009 iMac?
    Thanks in advance,
    Braden

    There aren't any ports in common between both Macs except the USB, that can't be used to connect both Macs. The easiest solution is to connect both Macs with a FireWire 800 cable and get the Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter, which you will have to connect into one of the Thunderbolt ports of the 2013 iMac.
    Then, to transfer files to the 2013 iMac, you have to put the 2009 iMac in Target Disk Mode, so start it holding the T key, and you will see the FireWire icon on the screen. Now, the 2013 iMac is detecting the hard disk of the 2009 iMac as an external disk, so open a Finder window and select it, under "Devices", and you will be able to transfer the data you want to your 2013 iMac.
    If you have to transfer applications and settings, too, I recommend you to use Migration Assistant with both Macs connected with the FireWire cable, too > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

  • What's the best way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my 2014 MBP?

    What’s a good way to move files from my 2012 iMac to my MBP?
    I prefer to do graphic work on my 21-inch iMac (2012 version). But when I travel I need to copy files to my 2014 MBP. I learned that my 2012 iMac is too old for use of AirDrop, so I’m copying and moving files with a flash drive. That seems slow and clumsy. Is there a better way?

    Target Disk Mode would provide a direct connection between the two Macs:

    Nothing simpler than that is available.

  • What cable do i need to watch  netflix from my ipad to the tvv

    What cable do i need to watch  netflix from my ipad to the tvv

    Netflix does support video out. The type of cable depends on your TV. I have used the composite cable and the HDMI adapter with an HDMI cable. Both of these cables work great. There is an AV cable, but I haven't used it, but it should work also. Video quality wise the order of preference would be HDMI, AV, Composite. I bought the composite cable for traveling, because I figure most TVs in hotels would have composite inputs.

  • What cable do you need to watch shows from your macbook to your HDTV?

    What cable do you need to watch shows on your macbook to your HDTV?

    Depends on which MacBook Pro you have and what kind of TV you have.
    If you're MacBook Pro is 2010 or 2010, and your TV has an HDMI input, then get this adapter.  It should be easy.

  • I need to move email from windows notebook, outlook to mac mail on my new macbook pro

    i need to move email from windows notebook-outlook to mac
    mail? need help?

    Hi Linc, I started setting up my new computer a few months ago so don't remember the details.  I did not use migration assistant, nor do I wish to, I believe it was set up through icloud.   Now that I needed my calendar while doing taxes I discover there are no events for 2014 and earlier (except 2 oddly enough).  I do remember that iCloud instructions were not clear as to what would happen in the choices it gave.
    I copied my old user files over from my external back up after my old computer stopped working, was hoping I could put ical folders in the right place to be used by Calendar or import somehow.

  • What cable do I need to pass pic from my pin drive to my iPad and which one to see my movies on my tv from iPad

    I would like to pass pictures from an external pin drive to my iPad and want to know what cable I need . I also want to know what do I need to see a movie from iPad to my tv .

    You'll need a thunderbolt adapter for your MBA that will allow you to connect to your TV through HDMI, VGA or whatever port your TV supports. The following link will help you determine which cable(s) you'll need:

  • What software do I need to move "file.mov" to dvd?

    I'm new to the apple world ...  have miDvD and have moved file.avi to a dvd, but can't seem to be able to do the same with a file.mov that my grandgaughter sent me.   PLEASE HELP

    It lloks like miDVD only supports .mov file that use the H.264 Codec. Do Get Info on your .mov file and see what the codec is. If it's "Motion JPEG OpenDML, Linear PCM", I think you'll need to convert the file to the H.264 codec.

  • What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

    I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
    iMac Intel DuoCore   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
    1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
    2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
    I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
    I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
    There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

  • New iMac - need to move files from Macbook Pro to new iMac

    Hi there everyone,
    Did some quick searching, but didn't find the answer that I needed.
    I am picking up my new 27" iMac (base model) and will need to move my files and programs from my Macbook Pro to the iMac. What is the best way to accomplish this? Are there any tools on the iMac that will help do that, or is it a manual effort?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    When you first start new Mac it will ask you if you want to migrate. Say yes at that point and Setup Assistant will migrate everything for you.

  • What Cable do I need to Import Video from a Mini DV Camera?

    I have a canon xh a1, it calls for a IEEE1394 cable, I have the new mac desktops, I have no Idea what cable i need in order to import video?
    Any ideas?

    Or better still - this cable from monoprice.com. Only $5.52 compared to the Belkin cable at $29.95. I use these cables all the time, they are very well made and work perfectly. There's nothing magical about Belkin that makes their cable worth nearly 6x the price of the monoprice cables.
