Migrated to MacBook (SL) to MacBook Air (Lion) - help!

First of all, let me say that my requirement of Windows on a Mac are minimal at best.  That said, I have a MacBook under Snow Leopard (10.6.8), VM Fusion (2.0.7).  I know that VM Fusion 3.1 has been out for some time and I just never had the need to upgrade.  Inside the virtual machine, I have Windows XP... once again my needs are minimal.  Yesterday, I bought a MacBook Air and used Migration Assistant to move over my files and applications.  I give the MacBook to my son and want to keep VM Fusion/Windows XP because it might need to access Windows for the school, but I don't necessarily want to do Windows XP on my MBA or VM Fusion.  Can't seem to find a way not tacky to do this (i.e. uninstalled everything on the Mo and reinstall after Migration Wizard) so I continued.  Well, of course I know now that my old version of Fusion is incompatible with Lion.  I did search here in the community and have found that most are successful with their virtualization if they get version 3.1.3 installed on their machines of Lion.  I also studied how to delete a Virtual Machine in Fusion and then remove the merger itself.  My big question is - given that I don't want merger or Windows on the new MBA and I don't want to pay to get a copy of Fusion I have is going to be delete - then - I download the free trial of 30 days, remove the Windows virtual machine, which I suppose is reside on my MBA and then delete the free 30 day trial?

I thank you very much in advance for any expert advice, you might be able to provide.

Respectfully,.

Bobby G.

I thought I'd get the 3.1.3 version raise my XP virtual machine before removing

Just an info for anyone reading this thread...

1 uninstall or uninstall/reinstalling VMware Fusion doesn't remove virtual machines.

2. If a Virtual Machine can be removed from the Virtual Machine library, ctrl-click (right-click) on it and select Delete > move to trash, however, a Virtual Machine can also be deleted even if VMware Fusion is not installed.  Just send to the trash as a Virtual Machine based on all other files/folders from the Finder and the default location for a normal file is "~/Documents/Virtual Machines.  Note "~" represents your Home folder.

and then delete VM Fusion.

Mac OS X lion remove VMware Fusion 2.x without using VMware Fusion 3.x, one would need to start the 32-bit kernel to use the uninstall program of "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/uninstall VMware Fusion.app" however do not forget that VMware Fusion can be deleted manually and remove VMware Fusion correctly manually take a look to: manually uninstall VMware Fusion

  • MacBook Air (old 2009) the Lion OS upgrade

    I have an old Macbook Air 2009 running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.  I also have a Macbook Pro, who ran the Mavericks when buying, but I've updated free in Yosemite.

    I would like to know if I can rank up to my old Macbook air Lion to the Mavericks.  If not, I have a Snow Leopard drive, should I switch to that instead or it would be wiser to stick to Lion?

    If you are satisfied with the MacBook Air running 10.7 performance upgrade 10.8 ( Mt Lion) are at the Apple Web site. I have provided the link. Mavericks (10.9) has a lot of memory more 10.7 and 10.8 were probably not be a good idea to upgrade to. Snow Leopard was 10.6 so would be going backwards. If your computer is too slow with 10.7 then back to 10.6, which is even less destitute of resources that 10.7 is would be a good choice. The thing to remember is that Apple is no longer provides updates for older versions of the operating system which make the computer more vulnerable to security problems.

  • Migrate messages from the Macbook Air to new iMac 2012 2016

    How can I migrate all my messages (text, iMessage) of my Macbook Air to my new iMac 2012 2016? I have a lot of messages on my laptop and I want to migrate them to my iMac just to have them for reference/memory later. I do this because I would like to activate the monthly updating of message on my iPhone, so he won't have to queue all my messages it years ago and I am also reformat my old Macbook Air. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

    Messages and e-mail accounts and data are found in/Home/Library/Messages/and/Home/Library/Mail/files. Just copy the content to the same folders on the new computer.

    Or you can migrate your complete folder from the old computer to the new home. This can be done using the love at first sight between the two cable and on the new computer using target disk Mode use the Migration Wizard to migrate your application. It could also be run from a time Machine or another external backup drive.

    Migration will not overwrite any user account that has already been created on the new computer. MY simply creates a new Admin user account name. You will then need to switch to the newly migrated account.

    Assuming that you previously purchased on the app store and your Mac meets the minimum requirements, unload you enough data on an external drive to free the necessary disk space and update via the app store. If you buy before it and it is not in your shopping list, you do not have.

  • Compromised security fixing Macbook Air running Lion.

    My mother got scammed and some people have taken complete control of his computer remotely.  While she didn't give them his information of the Bank, they had total control and therefore no matter what on the computer that could be compromised should be supposed to be compromised.  I plan to wipe the drive and reinstall the software.  I was wondering two things...

    Is the recovery partition that put on the computer somewhere safe to reinstall it from Apple?

    She's not all backups.  She has some JPEG files she wants.  What is the best way to transfer?  I was thinking a USB key I need to scan with Symantec antivirus.  But I've heard that usbs are dangerous?

    She has a Macbook Air.  She was running Lion (10.7).  I don't know until I get my hands on it tomorrow...

    Any advice would be great.  Thanks in advance.

    Nothing on this box is entirely safe to be safe - even the backups can be suspect.

    See re - install or try surgery? for a recent discussion of the present.

    Your own USB drives are very likely very well.  Yes, there are ways that USB drives you pick up in a parking lot or in trade shows can cause problems, but this isn't the case here.  Buy the disc, erase and format it in HFS + on your Mac and allows to transfer what is important.

    I would probably do a full backup of the entire system on an external drive, on the off chance that there is something else that may be necessary.

    FWIW, anti-virus and anti-malware tools are not known to be particularly robust or reliable products, are not intended to detect backdoors, some have a history of having backdoors and security bugs in packages and are not designed to defend against what is happening in a growing number of people; against scams and phishing attacks, as has happened here.

  • I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    There is no such thing as disabling Lightroom 5.7. Just uninstall the software.

    Looks like you have installed 6 Lightroom on two of your computers (including the MacBook Air). In this case, you must find and launch Lightroom 6 (not Lightroom 5.7 or any other version of Lightroom 5) on the MacBook Air and then in the menu help, select logout.

  • Upgrade of a thin macbook air 2010 at El Capitan?  Should I do it?  Thank you!

    Decide to upgrade my Late 2010 Macbook Air to El Capitan.  Photos of all the problems with the migration?

    No problem with anything. See the basic steps for the upgrade of OS X. See also How to prepare your Mac for OS X 10.11 'El Capitan'.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

    To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

    1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

    2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

    3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

    5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

    To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

  • How can I transfer the mail, Safari, iTunes, etc of my 2008 MacBook running OS 10.5.8, a new MacBook Pro (with Ethernet port) or a new MacBook Air?

    I replace my 2008 Macbook which maxed out at OS 10.5.8, with a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.  The Pro has an Ethernet port, the Air is not.  I want to transfer all the data from my application (mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.) for the new Macbook that will run El Capitan.  How can I do?

    What machine you're leaning towards? With Air, you have to use ether WIFI or have the old drive on an external drive configuration. With a new Macbook Pro, the simplest method is to use the migration assistant. Access your Macbook in public services and to see, there you have it. Here is a link to what you can do.  http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html It is said Lion, but it applies the same. Here's what apple says.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350 you should know that some of the apps in Leopard will be obsolete in El Captian. There you transfer, it can cause problems. I use the thinking that if I can replace it with a download I do this. The transfer or, if there is an update for it.

    Hey!
    A few days ago, I bought a used MacBook Air 2008. The price was good, and it works fine, except for one small problem: I can not install iMovie, I really need. I can't install from app store being the last OC my MacBook can run Lion OC X 10.7.5. Thus, as did not get the disc with all the iLife applications

    If you have any ideas, please share. I'd appreciate any help!

    Thanks in advance

  • MacBook Air case w / '?

    SO I wiped my hard drive, so it can be clean. I tried to reinstall OS X Lion, but he says that my hard drive had S.M.A.R.T errors on it and must be replaced immediately. So I went online looked up the hard drive of the same model that was originally in my macbook (model HS082HB) and ordered him. Just got it today and hooked up to the new hard drive for my macbook. When I start my macbook, the sounds of starting lights and then a folder with a questionmark a flashing light appears and flashes just. I tried to restart it and operational command-R and command + P + r folder always flashing... any help? PS My Macbook Air model is A1237

    You must use his original USB key, or a House installation one or a Mac OS X DVD to install the operating system. This Mac is too old to use the Internet system Apple recovery.
