Migration assistant to migrate an old iMac 2006

A friend with an old 2006 Intel iMac which was under Snow Leopard is replaced by a current model of retina of 27 inches. Can I use SuperDuper clone to migrate its data/applications/settings etc. the old iMac 17 inch to the new 27 inch one? I don't remember if the former must be at least Lion to work with the Migration Wizard, or it can be under Snow Leopard?

To complicate matters even more, yesterday I upgraded her iMac to Lion, so she could buy a recent brother model all in one scanner/printer/copier, which requires the minimum Lion. The upgrade worked but the iMac has slowed to a crawl, and it is not possible to work on it in this State (it is maxed out at 3 GB of RAM). She was going to buy a new Mac in a few months, but it seems more practical to buy now, where my question on enter its data into the new iMac El Cap when it arrives. Before you erase his hd and reinstall Snow Leopard of the clone, I thought it might be useful to make a backup of the current installation of Lion, thinking it's maybe easier to use with the Migration Wizard. But I want to check with the experts here on the forum before you do anything.

Depends on the version of OS X installed on the backup of the SD. Migration Assistant works with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or later version. However, instead of using MY, she should use Setup Wizard which is practically the same thing that MY except that it does not create a new user account. Connect the SD card to the new machine when it arrives, when it is on SA launches and finally request if you are migrating from another Mac, select Yes and follow the prompts on the screen. Apple explains to move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support.

BTW, you are way more thinking about this, a migration is a very simple process.

Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated!

    Thank you

    Are you copy and paste the serial number or are manually type you it?  I'd be copying and pasting to avoid typos.

    Also you can install Fusion without enter the serial number and then restart the Mac and perform the merge and try to enter the serial number.  Sometimes restart make a difference by taking the serial number.

  • Moving old iMac to newer model

    Kort,

    Apple is explains the data migration in move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support. Everything you need is there. If you only want to migrate data and not others, then it is better to create a bootable clone or connect the two computer together using OS X Lion mountain: transfer files between two computers using target disk mode. Need you a Firewire adapter Thunderbolt for the new computer for using target disk mode well.

  • Old iMac OS upgrade

    I have an OLD iMac (screen base, ball gum on a stem) 10.4 running. Extent to the top of the chain of the BONE can be improved?

    You can check here:

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/SP517

    If she can run Leopard OS 10.5. If you buy a Leopard retail on eBay or Amazon installation disc and then update OS 10.5.8

    Some general tips on the update of Leopard:

    It should be noted that it is an extreme rarity for the updates to cause upsets to your system, as they've all been beta-tested, but they can reveal pre existing, especially those that you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of all seeds, make sure they are fixed before continuing.

    So before do you anything else:

    If you can, perform a full backup first to a hard drive external. Ideally, you should always have a clone bootable from your system that allows you to return to the State of the previous update.

    Disable mode "Eve" of the display and the hard drive.

    Disconnect all devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    1 repair permissions (in disk utility)

    2. check the State of your hard drive using disk utility. If defects are reported, again from your installation disc (by holding down the C key), go to disk utility and repair your startup disk. Restart again to return to your boot disk.

    At least now you can be reasonably certain that your system does not contain obvious defects that could lead to an update/upgrade fails.

    3. download the correct version of the COMBO update from Apple download site.

    The Combo in Leopard 10.5.8 update can be found here:

    http://support.Apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

    If you prefer to download updates via software update from the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac is being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU automatically installs updates major (and even minor). The value software update to download the update without installing it immediately. There is always the possibility that the handset download and install (which can be a long process) may be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking on the keyboard, and a missed installation will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can sit at a time that suits you. In case you need a reinstall, you make a backup copy of the update on a CD.

    Details of the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606

    More information on the use of Software Updater here:

    http://support.Apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

    The Combo update ensures that all system files that have been changed since originally 10.5.0 are included, and those who could rate or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The updated Delta, although a city more small download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, that is for example, 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software update will usually download the Delta update only. The best Combo update must be downloaded from the Apple download site.

    Now, follow these steps:

    4. close all the applications and turn off the power the screen saver and energy-saving.

    5. unplug all devices except the keyboard and mouse.

    6. install the update/upgrade. Under no circumstances interrupt this procedure. Don't do anything else on your computer while it is installed. Be patient.

    7. when it asks to restart the computer to complete the installation, click on restart. This can take longer that usual, there are probably thousands of files to be crushed and placed in the correct location. Doing nothing while this happens.

    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again and you should be good to go!

    If your Mac seems a bit 'different' or slow, do a second reboot. It can't hurt and is sometimes effective. In fact, a second restart may be recommended.

    9. open some of your most used applications and verify that everything is OK. In this regard please remember that not all manufacturers of third-party applications and plugins, modules, etc., haxies will have had time to do rewrites for their software to be compatible with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their Web sites for updates.

    NB. do not try to install two different updates at the same time that everyone can have requirements and different exercises. Follow the recommendations above for each update in turn.

    Finally, from Apple's own article on the subject of the software update can also serve as reading:

    http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695

    If you update Safari (or simply):

    Input from third-party handlers can do as much harm as well. They use a vulnerability for the right hand in your application code and modify the code that the application starts.  If you have installed an update of the OS and Safari crashes, the very [i] first [/ i] thing to do is clear on your InputManagers folders (both in your own library and in the top-level / library), disconnect and reconnect, and try again.

    So, disable all third-party modules before the update of Safari, because they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add a return to one. If something goes wrong, remove again and check on the Web site of the manufacturer of the software for the new of an update to match your version of Safari.

    Most of the errors reported here after an update is due to an inherent flaw repaired or not detected in the system, or a third-party add-on.

    Additional advice on the installation of the software here:

    http://docs.info.Apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692

    Again, input Manager reach directly in an application and modify its code. This puts the behavior of the application concerned outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. Who doesn't want to not not saying that questions absolutely ensue as a result of the entry Manager, but, as a user, you decide. If a manager of specific entry or a set of it functionality is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.

    Once again, the Council is to remove all the input managers the following directories:

    • / Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers

    especially before the system updates (they can always be added one by one back later).

  • Need VGA adapter for my old iMac G4/1.0 17 inches in 2003?

    Hello

    Today my old iMac monitor stops working. I was in several stores to try to get a VDG adapter to connect a monitor separated instead. But it is impossible to find one for this older model. Any ideas anyone?

    The specifications are:

    Apple iMac G4/1.0 specifications of 17 inches (flat screen)

    Identifiers: iMac 17 "1 GHz - M8935LL/A - PowerMac6, 1 - M6498 - 1956

    requires Apple VGA Display Adapter

    Thank you very much!

    Johan Vikingo

    The "Mini VGA / VGA adapter" takes many forms. Do not forget

    If you get through one in a page of online sales, the seller knows

    the differences between the "MiniDisplayPort to VGA' and others.

    The part you are looking for would probably be described as: Mini VGA / VGA.

    While I have a stock of old like new, bought since a few years there

    thrift store for $2. It works with my iBook 1.33GHz G4 12-inch

    There is no part number visible on what I say. At the time, I have

    also bought three others, same price, which were sealed in bags.

    (These fellows had reference numbers;) I gave them, at the time.)

    Beware also of MiniDVI-VGA adapters, because these can also or

    is not appropriate in the similar-shaped video out port; DVI was not a

    standard in the old PPC Macs, some PowerBook later + iMac G5

    a establish better conditions later than the old PPC G4 iMac or iBook G3.

    The same element that adapts iBook G4 mid-2005 or before should also

    mount the USB2.0 iMac G4 15/17/20 inches. The adapter I have my

    iMac G4 1.25 GHz 17-inch (USB2.0) port VGA Mini computer.

    A glance through eBay shows a mixture of different parts and customers

    show them that some sellers have sold more than one type via their

    site; Some users could not use the one they bought, others might.

    The Apple site does not seem to show any valid age

    more information regarding these vintage/obsolete adapters.

    In order to avoid some versions of Mini VGA MiniDisplayPort and MiniDVI

    adapters; Some versions are at the correct time, but for PowerBook

    G4 models and a few figures are different part numbers. The plug

    may be formed to fit the plug, but it lacks the appropriate connectors.

    Sorry to not be of a great help; I look to see if I could find an of the

    old Mini VGA / VGA adapters, here; & only found a w/o part number.

    A search shows almost everything except good vintage pieces.

    The site welovemacs.com had a few elements but was not unclear on what made

    specific models exactly; and their price seemed a bit steep. Another Mac

    centered on the sites may be able to locate the vintage adapters. Can be used

    available, then that can also be worn or unreliable.

    This page may have some info on various 'news, in the old, obsolete: adapters

    On Apple and cables - video cards Support Apple

    {None of these are good; so you can use this as an anti reference}

    The person here specifies no iMac G4:

    https://www.iFixit.com/store/Mac/Mini-VGA-to-VGA-adapter/IF153-030-1

    Maybe if the time was nowhere near 02:00 here, I have more chance to research...
