    Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

  • I just bought a new Macbook. What's the best way to transfer all my info from the old one?

    Hey everyone! I just got my new retina display Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer all my music/photos/files/data/etc. from my old Mackbook Pro. I have a 1TB external drive and an 8GB flash drive that I can use if I need to. Any sugestions? Thanks!

    What i did with mine, I cloned the drive of my old macbook to my external drive using carbon copy cloner.
    Once i was done with the clone - i used migration assistant to transfer my apps/data/pictures/files over my new macbook....
    when using migration assistant - do not transfer your old settngs and if you're doing an app transfer, only transfer the ones you need and that you know will work with your Retina...
    good luck..

  • What is the best way to transfer all of my data from my iPod touch 3rd generation to my iPhone 4s?

    I have a 3rd generation iPod touch, and now I am getting an iPhone 4s. What is the best way to transfer all of my data, including paid-for apps and music, from the iPod to the iPhone without losing anything? Can I just do it through iTunes or the iCloud? I have never used iCloud before.

  • What's the easiest way to transfer all my pictures and music from my old PC to my new Mac?

    I just recently got a Mac and wanted to know the easiest way to transfer my pictures and music from my PC to my Mac.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The best and easiest way is by using Windows Migration Assistant. Apart from that, this app allows you to transfer other things, that you can check in this page > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 You have also the steps to transfer your data to your Mac in that page.
    If you don't want to use it, just copy your music and pictures to an external drive and transfer them to the Mac

  • What's the best way to transfer ALL existing content to new iPhone?

    Because "Backup" and "Restore from Backup" have not worked for me in the past. I don't want to have to re-create all of my existing app data - passwords, logins, game progress, etc. I'm not worried about email and contacts, as those are easily synced from Google - but losing the rest of my data again after "Backup and Restore" operations has me nervous about upgrading to 4s.

    Whenever I bought something directly from the iPhone in the past, the next time I went to syc it to iTunes a dialog box popped up asking me if I wanted to tranfer items purchased on the iPhone but not in the library.

    Yes, but I think the process is different between auto-syncing an iPhone and manually managing an iPhone.
    If you auto-sync your iPhone you'll be prompted about purchases on your device which do not yet exist in your iTunes library. You would normally choose to transfer these purchases, then the auto-sync proceeds as usual and a backup of your iPhone is made with each auto-sync.
    If you manually manage the iPhone's contents, just connecting it to iTunes may not automatically initiate these processes. If you just want to drag and drop a playlist from your library to the iPhone, purchases may not be transferred and a backup may not be created. But if you click the Sync button then these two things do happen. If you don't have any new purchases on the iPhone, you can either click Sync or Create Backup to just create a backup of the iPhone.

  • The best way to transfer videos between devices and mac?

    I have an iphone 4s, ipad and a macbook pro - is there any way to transfer videos wirelessly betwen these platforms?
    As far as I know icloud only allows photostream of photos only but nit videos. This is quite inconvenient for video users as I normally take videos using my iphone 4s and would like to edit using ipad/mac's iMovie. I suppose I could transfer videos using a wire between iphone and Mac (still a PAIN without being able to transfer wirelessly), and what about between iphone and ipad? I understand Apple might be concerned about storage and speed for video transfer via icloud, if we could selectively do the transfer and have the option to delete them from icloud after the transfer it will be very much easier for video editor like myself.
    Or have I just missed something? Is there indeed a way to do so??

    If you want to transfer photos and videos from the Mac to the iPhone (but not in the other direction) you can use iTunes and sync via wi-fi: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
    If you want to wirelessly tranfer videos in the other direction you may want to look into a 3rd party app such as http://www.photosync-app.com Note that I have not used that app so be sure to investigate others as well.

  • I'm switching from pc to Mac, is there a way to transfer all my music and photos from my pc to Mac book pro, I also have a hard drive will it open files from my pc

    Can I transfer music photos from my old pc to my new Mac, plus I have a hard drive that is Mac compatible but all the stuff is from my pc will it transfer 

    Yes, the Mac can read NTFS drives, but not write to them.
    If you have the drive formatted FAT or exFAt then the Mac can read and write to it. But before formatting, remove the data as it's erased, and format it on the PC as it's easier. Right click on Windows and Format.
    Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
    Moving your personal data via the external drive is likley the best option, there are other methods like Migration, but they are problematic and take a long time, a drive is simple, fast and direct.

  • What's the best way to backup all of my music and pictures?

    I have a Mac Mini with the Super Drive and i was woundering which is the best way to back all of the music that i have bought from iTunes and pictures i have in iPhoto, that way in case my Hard Drive crashes or i buy a new Mac Mini i can just transfer the files onto the new Hard Drive, is buying a iPod Video or a external hard drive be the best thing to do or can i just burn everything on a DVD-R?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that sounds pretty easy, just drag and drop, but what exactly did you mean when you said "When restoring your data, ensure that all the iTunes and iPhoto files are restored before launching those applications"
    What i was going to do is just copy (restore) all the data onto a external HD or a DVD-R and then make sure iTunes and iPhoto still has the same number of files and then i would check the DVD-R or the external HD to make sure that the files have been copied, right?
    One more question, most of my music on iTunes was bought from the iTunes Music Store, will it still copy?

  • What is the best way to transfer my music library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?

    what is the best way to transfer my large iTunes library from my windows pc to my new macbook air?  Not all purchased, many from CDs I owned

    Moving a library: Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its sub-folders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

    You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

  • What is the best way to transfer photos currently in Shutterfly into iPhoto?

    Hi!
    What is the best way (as far as highest quality and most efficient) to transfer photos currently in Shutterfly into iPhoto?  Do I need Shutterfly to make CDs of all of my current photos?
    Thanks for any help!!

    How to make the best quality Sutterfly copies is a good question for ShutterFly support - eithere download the pohotos or get the CD depending on what ShutterFly support suggests and then import to iPhoto
    iPhoto simply takes the quality you provide and makes an exact copy of it
