OS X :: How Can I Transfer All My Info From Macbook To IMac

Jun 22, 2010

Just picked up a new iMac today. I have my Macbook Pro pretty much all setup with bookmark, emails, ical, contacts, etc...

Is there anyway to import all that to my iMac? or do i have to setup everything manually on the iMac?

I noticed when i first started the iMac is asked something along the lines of transfering data from another mac via firewire BUT i dont have a firewire cable, So not sure if this is what i need?

OS X :: Transfer All Info From IMac To New HD On Macbook?

Jun 14, 2009

I want to install a new, larger HD in my macbook and then make it my primary computer. Currently, I have most of my info on my aging G5 iMac which is slowly starting to fall apart (i.e. optical drive/keyboard no longer work, making strange noises, etc.). I know that, once I put a new, larger HD in my macbook, I will have to format it and install Leopard. Is there a way to then transfer all of my info from the iMac to the new HD in the macbook after I put Leopard on it? I currently have a Time Machine'd backup external HD hooked up to my iMac.

OS X :: Using Time Machine To Transfer Info To New IMac/iLife 08 To ILife 09?

Mar 10, 2009

So I already placed my order for my new iMAC. I have a MacBook (2006) with iLife 08.

My question is: When I get to transfer my MacBook info into my new iMAC, will i encounter any problems with my iLife files being that I have iLife 08, and the new iMac's come with iLife 09? The Time Machine transfer won't bring the new iMac software back to 08 will it?

Just want to be sure before I set this up.

OS X :: Erase HDD - Transfer Info Over To New MBP

Aug 21, 2009

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I previously owned a MacBook and have a bunch of personal info and preferences on it. I used migration assistant about a month ago. It worked pretty well but some of my apps weren't there or weren't functioning well. My new MBP seems like it is unorganized. I want to erase my HDD (just install OSX again, right?) and start fresh. Is there another way to transfer my info over to my new MBP? Maybe pick and choose EXACTLY what I want transfered... I don't think migration assistant gave me an option to select individual apps.

IMac :: Won't Find Info For Apple Remote

Dec 4, 2009

my parents have an iMac (not sure of the exact model except its maybe 2 or 3 months old). Anyways, it's kind of in between the living room and the kitchen and is used often (among other things) to play music in those two areas using iTunes.

I was wondering if the Apple Remote Control would work well... the only catch being that the remote is IR and that the position of the computer means that a lot of times, the remote would be facing the side and backs of the computer. I doubt the remote would work but I also heard that the remote's IR is very robust.... is it strong enough to be able to used from these angles (im assuming by bouncing the signal off walls or something?).

IMac PPC :: Flush Hard Drive Of All Info But Keep The OS?

May 21, 2012

I've got a very old iMac PowerPC G4 that I've been wanting to get rid of for a while. It's got 384 MB of RAM and a 700Mhz Processor, along with what I believe is a 50Gb Hard Drive (I haven't found a way to check for sure). It's running Mac OS X 10.2.8. So here's my question. Is there a way to totally flush the hard drive (or reformat it) to get rid of any sensitive data, but then be able to install or keep the OS files and get it running again?

iMac, Mac OSX (10.2.x) , iMac PowerPC G4

Is there a way to hook up a external monitor to the 24" iMac as in the same way you can do with a macbook pro? Reason being is that I want the 24" iMac and I want to do photo editing. I'm getting mixed reviews on it due to the glossy screen. Some say yes and others say no. I have a 21 inch LCD display that I am not using. I was wondering if I can use it when I need to edit photos. I can't afford the macbook pro that I want so my next option is the iMac.

IMac :: How To Transfer Files From Macbook Pro

Nov 17, 2010

When I set up my new mac it offered me the ability to transfer my files from one computer to another. Silly me, I was tired, and chose not to do it at that time.

How do I get back to that screen? And, is it difficult? I have slightly more ability than basic but am not a guru. And I admit to not having done this in years, I normally just copy things on cd rom, but if there is a simple way, this would be great.

I really only want my photographs to transfer. It is easy to do my files.

I could I know download my pics from me.com but I think it would take forever as they are at full resolution.
