How to transfer all files in macbook pro to external hhd
Hi, I get a cell phone issued by school (MacBook Air 2015) next week. I currently have a Macbook Pro 2012. I'm not allowed to transfer my data to the macbook to schools. So I wanted to have an external hard drive that I could connect and select to start my computer.
How should I do this? Should I use Migration Wizard or Time Machine? Also, I need the instructions step by step for them.
Thank you
Get an external drive, you can connect to your computer and the school's computer. It will probably use USB 3.0. Connect the player to your computer and then clone your drive to this external hard drive:
Clone El Capitan on a new disc
- Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command - R until the Apple logo and progress bar appear.
- When the Utility Menu appears, select disk utility and then click on the continue button.
- Loading disk utility, select the disk (usually, the entrance Out-bumpy) in the list aside.
- Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.
- Set the GUID partition scheme.
- Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).
- Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.
- Select the new Seagate drive and then restore in the edict of disk utility menu.
- In the drop-down list, select the volume you want to clone.
- Click apply to start the process.
Take your clone and try to start your computer with it:
With the help of boot OPTION key:
1. reboot the computer.
2. immediately after the ring, press and hold the
Key 'OPTION'.
3 release the key when the Boot Manager appears.
4. Select the icon for the external drive of clone.
5. click on the arrow under the icon.
If your computer starts successfully on the clone, then you should be able to start the computer from the school. User the Option boot even that above, but once you start computer school you must set your external drive as boot drive using the startup disk preferences. This way, you need to use the Start Option.

Well, the simplest would be a backup image.
I m using a 3rd party software. It s a Norton Ghost.
This tool allows you to create an image of you HARD drive or simple partitions.
I created an image file and stored on the external HARD drive.Then, I installed the new OS on the laptop, installed Norton Ghost and used the external HARD disk image file to restore all the files and programs again.
But you don't need t to use the ghost there are many other applications to create an own google simple image

How you would normally do it is:

2 buy or borrow a USB disk drive hard put in yout case then plug it on your new laptop and read the hard drive like this

But if the hard drive does not have the above methods may not work
in this case contact data using recovery specialists
But beware, they are very $$$

Smartphones blackBerry how to transfer all the data from my BlackBerry/Outlook to new computer
Nice day
I am currently using a Torch 9800 on my old Dell using Microsoft Outlook 2003. I just bought a new Dell computer and installed Microsoft Office 2010 with Outlook. I would like to transfer all my data from my BlackBerry Torch / Outlook to my new computer.
Can I install BlackBerry desktop on my new computer and just sync with my flashlight or do I make a back-up to my old computer and restore the backup file to my new computer?
Thank you.
It depends on what everything you want moved. You can google for more information about how to transfer all your Outlook, including mail settings and all of your PIM data.
If it's just the calendar, tasks and address book data, then if your BB has everything you want on it, then you can install BDS on the new computer and set up a synchronization one-way system your BB to Outlook to transfer everything in the new perspective. Once it is on both devices settings of two-way synchronization.
I would like to make a backup of your BB before you do any synchronization to a new computer, just in case where you screw up the sync and removes the BB PIM data.
