How to copy a hard drive to another mac

I took the hard drive of my dead book mac pro and you want to put in my new mac pro book using an adapter cable. How di do this?

If the hard drive was part of the failure in a computer, it is not possible to extract data

of one and use it in another. The old disk, when in a box or by using a USB

Kit (universal wiring kit, such as the televised macsales.com) wire usually appear on the desktop of

the computer as a storage drive. You may be able to use "migration assistant" or other methods

to try and get your old files on this disc for use in another computer.

If you have a universal car adapter such as the Epsonexpression model at macsales, they

a manual for download on the page where the product is offered for sale; I don't see a free

video, but one may exist. https://eShop.MacSales.com/item/NewerTech/U3NVSPATA/

Their mode of adapter:

If you configure a replacement or a new computer, with the new system, which may require other

efforts; but you don't say. If Yes...

You can consider if the computers are identical, you can instead

migrate only the items that could work in the new computer, the old HDD.

The migration wizard can be used after the new computer has already been defined

up and running; otherwise you can do the old hard disk available

on the new computer, when first implemented, since the new State.

• Apple OS X and Time Machine advice (see clones, OS X Recovery and other tricks)

Sometimes, a bunch of junk of old in the other drive, during migration on a first

Base (from new State) or a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with a new Mac,.

randomly allowed to be included in the news reader, can cause several

problems because incompatible software (including applications, utility, etc.)

can be a lot of trouble; It is best to avoid this kind of migration.

There may be a method to try to migrate using files of Time Machine on the other computer.

Or use an old Mac clones, as a source to get copies of the old user-created

content that you can access your new Mac. There are several possible

things and they do not need to be moved to the new hard drive to the computer.

• Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

• Time Machine: How to transfer backups from a current backup disk to a new backup drive - Apple Support

Other than the old 3rd party software & passwords associated to allow licensed one that runs

There is little reason to copy anything over an old computer to a new drive.

In fact, those who can not work, update or upgrade may be required.

A problem can occur with software under license (non-Apple) and passwords from that indicated on the

When you try to use a new OS X older versions. You may need to purchase an upgrade

for her third-party software to run in OS X 10.11.4; or in another computer that what he

has been initially installed. What is written in a vague sense, because you don't say

Why you try to do. I hope that I did not write too much, trying to cover

any possibility where none was specified exactly. Too many possibilities...

Good luck & happy computing!

    I keep all my files on a USB key.  I want to make a copy or a backup of this USB using another USB key.

    =========================
    If you have two USB ports...
    place a USB stick in each of them.

    If open windows... Close them.

    Reach... Start / computer...

    Each USB drive should be recognized
    with a drive letter...

    Example:

    Removable (e :)) drive
    Removable disk (e :))

    On the left, click on the drive letters to display a
    Directory of readers.

    Now you can copy and paste or drag and drop
    the files from one disk to another.

    If you have only a USB port... copy all

    Original title: copy the USB

    How to copy a flash drive to another. It contains just ordinary excel data files only, no files or libraries

    Thank you

    Which removes the 1 Player files? (move rather that copy?

    Only one query: currently I more than 640 excel files on my USB key, I want to do it all in a single operation.

    None of the files or libraries currently in use on this USB key

    To avoid covering your desktop with files 640 +, make a folder for them, and copy them into it.

    When you drag files from one drive to another in Windows, it makes a copy of them. If you drag files from a folder to one another on the same drive he moves.

    If you actually want to move the files, you can use the right mouse button to drag and when let you go, it will give you a small menu of options such as move or copy.

    So, no, it will not erase the files from the first hard drive.

    Lightroom will result in no records per day, except when you import photos. If I could make a suggestion, leave your files in the same "mess" they are in now and use the keywords and other metadata to allow you to organize and search.

  • Copy the library from an external hard drive to another catalog EHD and sync

    Already, I saw this link but it doesn't tell me how to copy the library, it simply moving photos from one hard drive to another How to copy files to an external hard drive in Lightroom "Julieanne Kost's Blog of »

    I want to know how can I make a second copy of my library on my second drive, backup in case where my only main falls down and I want it so that my catalog can be synchronized with my second backup drive.

    Any ideas?

    The easy answer is to-

    1. close Lightroom

    2 use the software to 'mirror' of your Master images folder and subfolders of the primary transmission to the second DHM operation.

    Some free Windows software-SyncBack, MS-Synctoy, FreeFileSync.

    * If your Lightroom catalog file exists in the records of Master images, it will appear in the "mirror".

    * You can exclude the... Previews.lrdata folder of EHD. (it can be huge, and it can be re-built)

    * Note: "block mirror" made an exact copy of the files, it adds new files and removes the file 'deleted' SMT. It should not be used as a backup of the system-Deleted files are also deleted from the "mirror".

    * Note: You must not access the EHD copy using the catalogue work Lightroom on the main drive - this will only create chaos.

    3. If you want to restore from a system crash JEP 'mirror' will catalogue and image files in the exact state at the time of the last "mirror." Copy everything back to the main unit and open the catalog. LRCAT file. Lightroom is back in business.

    How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

    TIA

    Hi Benyl,

    The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

    To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

    Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

    Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.

    Your hard drive, installed on a computer with Windows XP was preinstalled by the computer manufacturer? If this is the case, then you have a "OEM version" of Windows which is linked to the computer first it is installed on and cannot be moved or reinstalled on another computer.

    If however you have a "Commercial" of XP version that you bought in a store, then you should be able to activate by phone, be aware that move the drive from one computer to another is more often go to work and XP may have problems (device drivers and other issues). The best solution is a clean installation (after you back up your data files).

    How to format my hard drive as my operating system running IM? I tried many ways must my computer tells me I have to stop all programs that I have running. play help as soon as possible!

    Some PC contains a hidden hard disk restore partition. If yours is one of them, this is how you return your PC to its original state.

    What is the brand and model of your PC?

    Yet, this is a pretty drastic step. There is more easy and faster to improve performance. If you do not want to give it a shot, let us know. And also tell us the specifications of your PC, type of XP, SP, etc.

    Also, you might find follows her beneficial:

    Here are the usual causes of slow:

    1. malware (malware). You need to rule out first! This page has excellent information:

    http://Web.archive.org/Web/20080610163247/http :// www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    2. some programs aimed at combating malware (for example, Norton and McAfee). Ironically, they can slow things down because they use simply much too many resources. Sometimes they cause conflicts with other programs. And their default mode is to scan your entire hard drive whenever you start. Fortunately, there are other programs of anti-malware software available that use much less resources (p. ex., NOD32, Avast and Avira).

    3. too much of certain types of programs still running in background - with or without your consent. (Then again, a lot of programs running in the background of the consequences trivial.)

    To determine each program and process, you are running, use the task (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Manager and click the processes tab. You should be able to sort by CPU usage or memory usage for a good ideas that are resource/memory hogs. You must write the names of all the processes for future detective work (or take a snapshot and print it).

    Use these sites to determine what these programs are, and learn how configure them to not always run when starting:

    http://www.PACS-portal.co.UK/startup_content.php#THE_PROGRAMS
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/
    http://www.AnswersThatWork.com/Tasklist_pages/Tasklist.htm

    Sometimes, it is recommended to use msconfig to configure programs to run at startup. A better, more thorough program is Autoruns:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    But before that, you must use the settings preference of the program in question. Otherwise, for some programs, they will return to the list of startup anyway!

    If you do not want to use msconfig, it can be accessed in this way:

    Start | Run | Type "msconfig" (without the quotes). Enter (or OK)

    4. not enough RAM, causing the PC too rely on the pagefile. A quick way to determine if what is happening is to open (Ctrl + Alt + Delete) Task Manager, and then click the performance tab. Then the three values under Commit Charge (k) Note: in the lower left corner: Total, limit and peak.

    The Total number represents the amount of memory you are using right now. The vertex figure represents the maximum amount of memory you made since the last boot. If these figures are lower than the value of the amount of physical memory (K), then you probably have lots of RAM. In case you want to study it more, you can run the Page queue Monitor for Windows XP:

    http://www.dougknox.com/XP/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm

    5. you can also verify that the access mode of your hard drive has not changed from DMA to PIO:

    I need to know how to erase my hard drive to get rid of a virus

    Hello Nguyen,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    I understand you want to wipe your hard drive to remove any infection by the virus from your computer.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. When you say 'I need to wipe my hard drive to get rid of the virus', do you mean you want to remove the virus from your computer or to completely erase your hard drive by erasing all the data on it?
    2. You want to clean install a new copy of Windows on your computer after removing all your data from the hard drive?

    If you do not want to delete all your data and do not want to clean your computer of viruses, you can scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Download and run Microsoft security scanner from the link below.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    However, if you want to completely clean your computer, just remove the hard drive and pure, install a fresh copy of Windows on your hard drive, you can read the article below to do so.

    How to perform a new installation of Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/clean-install
