MacBook Pro :: Migrate Transfer From Old Pro To Retina Pro
Jun 22, 2012
I purchased a macbook pro retina today and I am wondering wht the consequences are if I choose to skip the migrate transfer now so that I can check out the retina before I send files from my old macbook? It said it will take about 36 hours to do the transfer over wifi and it also doesnt detail what items are being transferred. There may be a lot of files I do not want on the retina pro that the migrate transfer might send over from my old pro. Also, is there a better way to copy over stuff besides the migrate transfer? When I spoke with apple they said the only way I can get pages, numbers and other application like that is through the transfer.

I have a Retina MBP on the way and I'm trying to figure out the best way to transfer data to it from my Mid 2010 13" MBP (Firewire but no Thunderbolt).
Would the new Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor allow me to enable Target Disk Mode and transfer? As this adaptor doesn't appear to be available yet, in the UK Store at least

I have an iMac Intel Core2duo, 10.4.11 and I've just got a white macbook 10.6 which has a firewire slot. I have no idea how to transfer files from my iMac to the mb - can you help, please? I have not yet started the mb, in case I can use the setup assistant to migrate files.
so I'd be glad if someone can tell me [a] HOW to transfer files, [b] HOW to transfer iPhoto, [c] HOW to transfer iTunes and if I need to buy a cable, then what to look for.

How do software that aren't retina compatible yet look on the MBP Retina Display? From my own experience as a developer when using regular sized images and resolutions on the iPhone 4, they come out as blurry. I was thinking perhaps the same thing will occur if the software isn't retina compatible? I e 2x in GUI size and scaled down?

I had decided to get a retina MacBook Pro earlier, but I have grown tired of never finding them in the stores. Now I am wondering if the non retina would be the best way to go.

I have been trying to migrate my data from my PC to my new mac but it always seems to fail.At first, I would begin the migration assistant and then after a while the PC would just crash.But then I finally thought I managed to get it working. It said that process was complete (on both the PC and mac), but there was no data on my computer and no music in my iTunes.
PS I also have an Ethernet cable if that's of any use but I don't know how to use it.

Expecting my new MacBook Pro to arrive, looking for the easiest and fastest way to migrate from several PC's to my Mac. Does it make the most since to use a mac formated external disc and copy files from each pc to that then just connect that to my mac? Or should I use an NTFS formatted hard disc and copy from the pc and import to the mac and reformat the hard disc?
I was considering using the migration assistant but with several machines and location of my pcs, think this will take too much time. I do not need to migrate mail, or profiles. I am migrating iTunes library, quicken data, and movies and pictures, with some documents.
Info:MacBook

So I had Macbook Pro 13 prior to getting the new Macbook Air. Everything is in sync except the iTunes data on my Air. I didn't use Migration utility because I didn't want to completely mirror my old settings. How do I migrate my iTunes data to my new Macbook Air so that I don't have to resync EVERYTHING that I currently have on my iPhone 4?

I am thinking of selling my macbook pro (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz) and buying a new one. I really don't want to load all of my software and settings, etc. and was wondering if I could just use my time machine backup for the new machine to basically pick up where I left off with the previous machine on the new machine?

I recently upgraded my HDD to a bigger one (160G to 500G). The old HDD still has all of my data which I would like to migrate to the new drive. I purchased a device that a tech at a computer store recommended but when I plug in the old HDD (using this device) to my Macbook pro the HDD doesn't show up in Finder! What I need to do to get my data back?

When the hard drive on my MacBook Pro 13 needed to be wiped clean, I restored all my files from Time Machine except for my iPhoto files. Not sure why my iPhoto library wasn't restored, but it wasn't, and I can't find it on my Time Capsule. I want to move my partial iPhoto library from my old MacBook Pro to my new one. I understand this is possible by linking them in some way.

I use Entourage 2008 in my MacBook Pro. I learned that there is no possible way to sincronize mails and calendars with my iPhone (through ICloud) so I'd like to stop resisting and switch to MacMail + ICal in my MacBook.

I bought a new macbook pro and I'm planning the migration of files to the new machine. What is the best method, with the old pro having firewire and the new one having thunderbolt? I have a lot of files, so I want it to be as speedy as possible. Maybe the firewire to thunderbolt adapter?

I bought a new MacBook Pro, which has Lion. My old MacBook Pro has Snow Leopard. Last night I used migration assistant to move everything from my old computer to my new computer. My instincts told me not to do it, because my old computer is 6 yrs old and has so much stuff on it. I was thinking it might be better to just go on an as needed basis, however, there is so much I need, I decided to do it.
Problem one, CS5 will not work. Maybe I need to do a clean install?
Are there any other issues I should be aware of? I see I need to re-enter my license info for Word ...
Have I messed up my new machine? Should I start over and wipe the new one clean and use another method?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro and an older (5 year old) Western Digital external hard drive. I have always used this hard drive for both mac and windows. Recently, however, whenever I go to transfer a file from the mac to the WD hard drive, the little transfer window pops up and it appears to initiate the transfer. However, it never fully starts it. It appears to "get stuck" in that initiating stage, showing zero of 3.16 gb transferred and shows an unknown transfer time. This happens no matter how long I leave it open. Again, I have used this external hard drive with my macs for the past 5 years without any problems until now. I haven't moved or modified the WD hard drive

I have a 15 inch 2010 MBP. When I got it, I migrated all my info from my previous MB. About 4-5 months into using it I started having issues w/ Kernel Panics. I did upgrade the HDD and RAM but the Kernel Panics happened before all of that. I took it to the Apple store and they ran some test on the hardware and software and said they couldn't find anything. Their advice was to just do a clean install. I wanted to avoid doing a clean install on all costs. Anyhow, I said what the who last night and backed up important files and did the clean install,
I have to say that the computer feels much more stable now. I was having a lot of little issues w/ Snow Leopard prior to the clean install. Most of that probably comes w/ me playing around w/ settings a bit too much. Also, I'll admit, I do torrent some software. In my opinion, thats what caused the kernel panics. Only time will tell if I continue to get kernel panics even after a clean install, but I think I'm good to go. So, do you guys prefer doing clean installs or just migrating your data? When Lion comes out, will you clean install or migrate to it?

today I bought a 7200rpm 500gb seagate hard drive. The installation went great. reinstall of osx went great. The computer is up and running but at osx 10.5.5 and I noticed my color profiles have not migrated over so I'm guessing other things haven't either... My AT&T card is also encountering a "fatal error" while trying to connect so I can't even get online to try to update. What went wrong? What should I do? I did a TM bck up right before the HD swap.

I would like to migrate my computer data from my current Macbook (late 2007) running Snow Leopard to a slightly newer Macbook (mid 2009) running Mavericks. While doing this I will need to implant the wiped hard drive from my current Macbook (late 2007) into the target Macbook (mid 2009) in order to have enough hard disk space for my personal data. I will then conceivably need to install OS X Snow Leopard onto the disk, since my personal data is from Snow Leopard. While I have all of the personal data from my current Macbook (late 2007) backed up on time machine, I do not have an OS X Snow Leopard CD-ROM which I imagine to be required when trying to re-image a disk from a Snow Leopard time machine backup.
So, my questions are, first, will the target Mac (mid 2009) previously running mavericks accept a wiped hard drive that was previously running Snow Leopard; second, will the additional hardware of the target Mac (ram, graphics, CPU, etc.) be in the correct software condition (regarding drivers, boot data, cache, etc.) to accept personal data from Snow Leopard; and third, can I re-image the disk implanted in the target Macbook from a Time Machine backup?

It seems you can't upgrade the memory after purchase on the new MBP w/ retina display.
SO my question is, is it worth the $180 extra to get 16GB of ram rather than 8GB??
