What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

Thank you LowLuster,
At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • Query machine 'server' has been taken out of rotation due to this error: The object is not initialzed?

    Hi, in my MOSS 2007 farm getting below Search errors frequently:
    1.“EventID: 0x00002736 (10038) - Query machine 'server xyz' has been taken out of rotation due to this error: The object is not initialized. 0x8004180b. It will be retried in 15 seconds”
    2. Retry of query machine 'server abc' has failed with error: The content index is corrupt.  
    In this Farm, one Application server works as an index server and two WFE servers work as Query servers.
    So currently resolving the issue resetting the crawl content and running full crawl. I also changed the Index file location frequently on both the WFE servers but frequently error is coming.
    Please tell me what to do.

    Hi Prakash,
    It seems like your existing index partition is corrupted, please remove initial index partition and create new.
    Please refer below article, this will give you some idea to troubleshot this issue further:

    비슷한 경우가 있는 경우에는 이 문서을 참조하신 후 SR을 열어 주시면 감사하겠습니다.

    You can power cycle the router and it should revert to the old IP address. But yes internally you should be able to telnet/ssh/or console with no issues. The secondary address with the proper NAT statement should work just fine! Here is a sample config:
    interface fastEthernet0/1
    ip address 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.0 secondary
    ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

  • I purchased a tune from the store last night, it was 59 pence, after checking my bank account I found that £1.58 has been taken out can annybody tell me why please.

    I purchased a music track from the store that was 59 pence, after checking my account I found that £1.58 had been taken out. Can anybody tell me why, this is the first time I have used the store, also does the track automatically transfer to your Iphone ...

    If you just entered in your credit card, the ITunes Store will put a small credit hold on the account to verify that the card is correct. This charge will be automatically reversed by your bank in a couple of days. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702
    The track will automatically be downloaded to your iPhone if you sync the iPhone to iTunes or have "automatically download" set in the iPhone's settings.

  • New to Mac---trying (unsuccessfully) to transfer files from pc

    Hi! I'm new to mac and I just got a MacBook Pro. I've been trying to transfer my songs, pictures, and files from my Dell pc (Windows Vista) to my new Mac but I'm having no luck. I have tried to connect the two using both an ethernet cable and a wireless network. When it prompted me for a username and password I just put in the username and left the password blank (b/c I don't have one on my pc) and it said the password had expired. So I went on my pc and created a new password. When I put the password in it now tells me that it just can't connect because of an "error." This happens both when using the ethernet cable and the wireless network. I clicked on the browse button (when trying to connect wirelessly) to see if the Mac could detect the Dell, but the only computer it can detect is the desktop (also a Dell running Vista) that is wired into the router. I really don't want to have to bring both the laptops to the apple store and I don't want to manually move them with the 2GB flash drive I have. Please if anyone can help me I would really appreciate it. Someone told me it may have something to do w/the configuration...
    Thanks
    Lisa

  • What happened to the Bookmark all Tabs/Save and Exit/Open previous session feature in 4.0? If this has been taken out then 4.0 is of no use to me. I'll have to go back to 3.6

    In 3.6 when ever I closed the browser with multi tabs open it would give me the option to Save and Exit. Then when I reopened the browser it would give me the option to open the previous session. I could also bookmark all open tabs. All of these features appear to no longer be present in 4.0. If this is the case I will be forced to uninstall and reinstall 3.6.

    Bookmark All Tabs - you can get it when you right-click on a tab, or use keyboard shortcut Control+Shift+D.
    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • HT201436 How do I recover voicemail messages after the sim card has been taken out and put back in?

    If you take the sim card out for any reason do you automatically loose all of your saved phone messages. If you reset the password to your voicemail through AT&T does it prevent you from recovering saved voicmails even if you've have not done a backup in itunes.

    The SIM card has nothing to do with phone messages, nothing is stored to it. Resetting the password also should not delete them.

  • '"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message

    '"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message keeps displaying whenever I try to open any Adobe CS5 applications (except for Adobe Acrobat Pro). It displays until I click "OK" about 15-20 times or so and then will finally let my program open.
    I have tried deleting files within my Library/Preferences folder and turning off/deleting login items within my system preferences as other forums suggested but nothing happened. Spending 3.5 hours on the phone with Adobe and completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire CS5 Master Collection didn't work either.
    Also, it may be helpful to know that my programs worked fine for about three weeks then when we got internet and changed the password (the join, not the adminstrative password) with the wireless network "ScubaSteve" (which I've used with no problems at my old apartment) it started acting up. I have never seen "rrnas01" before so I don't know at all where it came from. I also installed the free 30 day trial of Suitcase Fusion 3 recently, but thinking that could also be the cause I have uninstalled it, and still no help.
    Please help me! And please keep in mind I don't know all the computer lingo that a lot of the people in these forums seem to know. Thanks in advance for ny help you can give me.

    It may not be possible .. there is a major bug between Mountain Lion and the TC where the TC disk goes off the radar of the computer.
    Lion is also affected but not as badly.
    7.6.4 seems worse than earlier firmware.. so back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2 if that is possible.
    Obviously that is not a solution for a later Gen5 TC.
    Reset to factory after the firmware downgrade. .use all network names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    If the TC is the main router set the dhcp to a very short lease time.. eg 30min.. and see how it goes, or try a longer lease like 99days.
    I prefer the very short lease but response has been mixed.
    Use ethernet not wireless.. ethernet is always more reliable and stable than wireless.
    And last .. a nightly electric timer that powers off every night at midnight for 1min.. would not be the first device we have suggested a fix that amounts to beat the unit to the punch by forcing it to reboot since it is unstable.

  • Can I transfer files from microsoft word onto an IPad and if so how?

    I am getting the new IPad and would like to transfer files from microsoft word onto it. Is this possible and if so how?

    You can, but first you need an app on the iPad that supports the type of document/file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the documents to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
    Apps that support word documents include Apple's Pages app, and third-party apps such as Documents To Go and QuickOffice HD

  • How to transfer files from old iMac to new iMac without transferring everything.

    I just got a new iMac and would like to transfer files from my old iMac.  I don't want to transfer everything from the old iMac.  I just want the files, iTunes library, iPhoto library, etc.  I don't want to transfer applications and settings.  I was told in the Apple store that if I transferred my files using system setup then my new computer would look just like my old one.  I'd rather start out fresh with the new one and just bring in the files I need.  Is there a tool that allows you to customize what you transfer over from old to new?  Thanks for your help!!

    Carbon Copy Cloner might be the correct tool. It lets you pick and choose what to clone.
    http://www.bombich.com/ccc_features.html
    install CCC on the old Mac,
    connect the Macs with an ethernet cable,
    enable file sharing on both Macs,
    use "connect to server" (in Go menu) to mount the new Mac's drive on the old Mac.
    run CCC.

  • Can't transfer files from imac to intel imac via ethernet sockets

    I recently bought the fab new imac intel and wanted to transfer files from my old imac 350 via the ethernet sockets as the old imac doesn't have firewire. I did this using instructions from an apple doc. which allowed me to simply drag files from the hard disk icon of my old imac, to the hard disk icon of the imac intel.
    I now want to transfer some more files but the set-up just doesn't work. When I try to connect to the old imac the afp tries to find the IP but doesn't connect. Sometimes I get a message saying, 'the files you want are on this server' meaning the new intel imac, but of course they are not. I've tried all kinds of things but can't find the problem.
    Geoff

    If the ip addresses are beginning with 169 that means they are self assigned ip addresses.
    I suggest you goto each mac and create a new network location.
    Then setup one mac as follows
    systempreferences-->network-->show built-in ethernet-->TCP/IP
    configure ipv4 manually
    ip address 10.0.0.1
    subnet 255.255.255.0
    on the other mac do the same but make the ip address
    10.0.0.2
    press apply now.
    Now when you connect to server use the ip address 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.2 respectively.
