    What is the best way to transfer photos from old Macbook Pro to new Macbook Pro?

    If you only need to transfer photos, connect the two Macs to the same network. Enable file sharing on both, and copy the iPhoto folder from your old Mac to the new one. Put it in your Pictures folder. This assumes you have no photos on your new MacBook Pro you wish to keep. If you do then let me know.
    The first time you launch the new version of iPhoto with a Library created by an older version, it will most likely want to "upgrade your iPhoto Library". This is normal.

  • What's the best way to transfer iTunes from my mac to my android

    I have tried everything and researched until I am exhausted. I tried android file transfer. My device cannot be recognized by my mac. I tried Kies and cannot figure out how to install it on my phone although I have it on my Mac. I transferred music via google play and it messed up my library and din't transfer playlists. What's the best way? How can I get my Mac to recognize my device and please don't day change USB stings as I cannot find anything resembling that.

    Copy the entire itunes folder.

  • What is the best way to download pictures from 5D Mark II to MacBook Pro

    when i transfer my pictures from 5D Mark II camera to MacBook Pro IPhoto, the older photos that are already on computer are put on again even though I on click selected photos

    Do you delete the pictures from the SD card after you copy them to the Mac?
    I use Aperture (and not iPhoto), and the default there is to import everything that is on the SD card, so you'd have to pick individual pictures instead of the entire card/folder. I would assume the iPhoto would exhibit the same behavior.

    What's the best way to transfer everything from my 5-year-old iMac to my 1-year-old iMac?
    I'm doing role reversal with these two.  The newer imac is becoming our business computer, the older one will be our personal computer from now on until it gives out.  For the record, I have Carbonite on the business unit.  Should be a no-brainer, right?  (Which is precisely why I'm asking!)
    Thanks for whatever timely and accurate advise you may have.

    Thanks. I stumbled across migration assistant later that afternoon in a google search. Just finished using it today to do the deed. Appreciate your quick response!

    Remove the hard drive and get one of these USB hard drive adapters. http://tinyurl.com/a5l2htj Then plug the adapter into your iMac to see/retrieve the files.

    If you know how to set up a computer-to-computer Ethernet network, then you can give that a try, but a hard drive will be faster than Ethernet unless you don't have a lot to transfer.

    Do not use "mini" DVD's in any slot loading DVD drive.
    Buy a cheap "tray loading" external DVD drive and attach it to your Mac.

    the only way is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • What's the best way to transfer files from dead MDD G4 PowerMac to new iMac desktop?

    My Mirrored Drive Door 1 ghz G4 Power Mac recently stopped powering on. I have just purchased a new iMac with 2.5 ghz intel core i5. What is the best way for me to transfer the files to the new machine?
    Someone on another thread recommended buying a converter cable like this one: http://www.newertech.com/products/usb2_adaptv2.php
    Will I need to use transfer software too? I'd like to bring my playlists along to the new machine but don't need any of the software.
    Thanks!

    That will work. You could also remove the hard drive from the MDD and put it in an external enclosure so you would have it for backup.
    You can use the utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, to transfer files - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • What is the Best Way to Transfer iTunes to Another Computer?

    Hi everyone!
    Okay, I was wondering what the best way is to transfer an iTunes library. I have my current iTunes library on Windows XP on a PC and I wish to move the entire thing to my new, Windows Vista Laptop. The iTunes version on the PC is 7.6 (I do not wish to update if at all possible)and I have not downloaded iTunes 8 to the Laptop, which has no idea what an iPod or iTunes is.
    You guys have always helped me in the past, so I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance!

    Awww, com'on you guys. It's been 4 or 5 days, and no one has gotten back to me...
    Can anyone give me a link that has any info? Thanks again.

  • What's the best way to transfer itunes music collection from pc to pc

    So after some weeks of working at it, I finally have my itunes collection on my Dell about where I wanted, stray tracks have been returned to their proper home, genres are properly assigned, album art located and placed where it belongs and duplicates have been eliminated and so forth.  I thought the time had come to transfer a copy of this magnus opus to my surface pro 2.  Itunes loads just fine to SP 2 desktop (since the SP is both a full function PC as well as a tablet the absence of an itunes app for the SP is of no significance). 
    I used a flash drive to transfer the files located under itunes.  What I discovered was much of the album art did not transfer and perhaps a quarter of the music didn't transfer either.  I can't explain the former, but the latter appears to be related to music I purchased through Amazon which is stored elsewhere (although Itunes had no difficulty finding it on my Dell and I had no trouble working with it to get the various tasks completed that are mentioned above).  I thought I could just perhaps copy the amazon folder to SP 2 music folder but that didn't work either.
    So the thought occurs to me that I am making entirely too much work of this.  There has to be a relatively simple way to transfer the Itunes collection to another Itunes program, also running on a pc.  What easy thing am I missing, yet again?  thanks!

    There is more to an iTunes library than the purchases alone.
    There is more to an iTunes library than the media files alone.
    The library files and album artwork folders contain other data that should be copied. The iTunes database may hold the only reference for artwork for some files, and will be the only place holding metadata for any files in .wav format. It is also where playlists, ratings, play counts and other data not stored in tags resides.
    In particular each library has a unique ID, copying the media alone doesn't transfer this, and syncing a device to a library with a different ID can cause data loss.
    Copying the entire iTunes folder is the key, but even then extra care may be needed if the library is in the wrong shape, e.g. files stored outside the media folder, or the media folder not stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    The vector used for the transfer, flash drive, external hard drive or network, can be selected according to availability and suitability. In the case of the Surface Pro 2 we're unlikely to be discussing a large library, but you should be aware that people have libraries larger than any available flash drive.
    One transfer over a network may be faster, or more convenient, than copying files to a secondary drive at the source computer and then copying again from that drive to the target.

  • What is the best way to transfer files from Windows XP to a new MacBook Pro?

    I am about to make the switch from PC to Mac, but I am not completely sure how I should transfer all of my old files (Word docs, PowerPoints, Excel Sheets, pictures, etc.) over to the new Mac. I read this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796, and it said to download Windows Migration Assistant. It says that a new user account will be created on the Mac containing all of the transferred material. I assume that I can just pull stuff from the newly created account and put it on the main or administrative account? Also, I assume that I can delete the created account after I get everything that I want off of it, but I am new to the whole Mac thing and assuming never gets anyone anywhere. One more thing, I do not want to transfer over my email accounts from Outlook because there is some kind of problem with the way they are set up. I want to just start them completely over in Mail. The article says that the program will automatically transfer over email accounts. Is there a way to avoid that or just transfer stuff manually? If anyone has transferred files this way before, I would really appreciate any insight you can give me. Thanks!

    Best way would be NOT to use any sort of migration program, just copy the files over and place them in the same Music, Pictures, Documents folders on the Mac like it is on Windows.
    All you need a external USB drive you can pick up at any office or computer store, I would advise powered and either the same size or larger (not too big) than your boot drive on the Mac. So later you can make a clone of OS X, as there is NO system restore on a Mac.
    Most drives are formatted MBR with a FAT32 (named "MSDOS" in Apple's Disk Utility) and can be read on a Mac just as easily.
    If for some reason your external drive has been already formatted by Windows into NTFS format, then a Mac can't read it without paying for more software and having to hassle with updates, it not working etc. So format the external drive FAT (FAT32) or even exFAT on the PC first (exFAT needs a free download from Microsoft on XP machines)
    When you connect the drive, simply drag and drop your files right into the same folders, this way you can control what comes over and what stays.
    If you want a free program that can open your Office files without having to pay for OfficeMac, then the free LibreOffice is available and works great.
