I recently brought my macbook into store to reinstall the operating system, I'm currently on Snow Leopard and want to upgrade to Lion. Should I install Lion now, before I transfer all my old data back onto the computer using Time Machine or after, or does it matter?Â

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday I started a brand new MacBook Pro for the first time and followed the on-screen prompts to transfer data from an older Mac (MBP 2.16GHz Core2Duo running 10.6.8) via firewire. The procedure was different from the one I am accustomed to, which involves starting the old machine in target disc mode. This time, I was instructed to open Migration Assistant on the old MBP and select "from this Mac". This I did, whereupon it appeared that Migration Assistant on the new MBP established a connection with the old MBP, which was already connected to the new MBP with a Firewire cable. But once the transfer started, it progressed at a snail's pace. It started almost 5 hours ago and will very likely continue all night long. It occurred to me that the transfer is proceeding as though it were taking place over wi-fi.
Is it possible that OS X Lion took it upon itself to connect with the old MBP over wi-fi even though the two machines were wired together via Firewire? I do not recall having any opportunity to explicitly select Firewire as the transfer mode.
i want to upgrade my snow leopard to lion without losing any data, application, or others, i don't have external hard disk so is there any way to do it without backing up?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a 13" MBP and just got a new 500gb HD to pop in replacing my 160gb one. I have about 200gb free on an NTFS external I was planning on using time machine to back up my system for seamless HD swap but as we know, macs don't play nice with NTFS. If possible, I would like to not have to re-install all my applications and such. I found other software (SuperDuper) that should do the same thing but none will play with my NTFS external. I guess my question is this: I have a SATA to USB adapter, can I: Plug in new HD via USB, Format to OSX Journaled, then do a time-machine backup to the new drive, pop in the new HD and be good to go?

How do i transfer data from my macbook pro to my new macair?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm going to buy a new internal HD (Scorpio Blue 500GB) for my Macbook Pro.
My question is how to take everything I have on my old HD and put it on my new HD.
From searching I've seen people talk about SuperDuper. Exactly how would I use it?
Also I've seen some mention using Time Machine. If I use that way, do I put in my new HD first, then install Leopard, then go to Time Machine and put everything back onto my new HD?
I want to make sure I know what I'm doing so when I get it, I know which method I will use.
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me the best way(s) to selectively transfer data from my old MacBook to my new MacBook Pro. Detailed information on both computers is provided below. Old Computer (From)

My MacBook 2.1 (2006) recently had an accident with a glass of water and died. I just purchased a brand new MacBook running Version 10.7.3, and I'd like to see if I can rescue any of the data on the old MacBook. At the Apple store, they said I'd need to purchase an enclosure to run the old hard drive as an external drive, but they weren't able to give me specifics as to what kind of enclosure I would need to purchase. Can anyone recommend a specific enclosure that would work with those two computers for data transfer (assuming anything can be rescued)?

I just purchased an external HD for my Powerbook G4.
Im trying to transfer my old media from my PC to my Mac.
I've had difficulties partitioning a section of the hd on my pc that will be compatible with mac because the pc will only partition in one format (NTSF I believe).
So my questions are:
Can I connect the two via ethernet?
Or is there some other solution I have not come across?
I've searched for an answer but most help instructions are not according to the exact specs I'm dealing with.
I'm running Windows XP on the PC and Osx 10.4.11 on my 1.5 Ghz Powerbook G4

However, my old one is too old to update. So I decided to use the cable to transfer, because I heard I can do it that way even though it could take time.

I don't want to have to purchase iPhoto and iMovie again just because I had to replace my hard drive.

i just got my brand new macbook pro 15" 2.66 ghz i7, 4 gb ram, high res, 500 gb 7200 rpm hdd, and I am ecstatic this computer is SO fast it blow my mind all over the table, the question i have is about the SD card slot, is there limit on data transfer for the SD card slot or is it limited by the speed of the card? i have a 16 GB sandisk extreme 2 that transfers @ 15 mb/s and a 4 GB sandisk extreme 3 that transfers @ 30 mb/s so can i transfer at those speeds or is it buffered? i tried importing 1 GB i had on the slower card and it transferred extremely fast but i cannot remember how fast the usb 2.0 was because i never really paid much attention.
