Transfer data from old iMac (2008) to the new (end of 2015)

I was not able to find a convenient way to transfer data from my old mac (iMac 21 of 2008) to the new. (iMac 27 5K 4.0 El Cap) One thing... I have no ports firewire on the new iMac... then I have no crush on the old... What I've read says that you must use one or the other and both ends must be the same. If anyone knows where I can find "usable" information please let me know. Thanks in advance

Use a Thunderbolt adapter, FireWire or back up your system to an external drive and migrate to it.

    How can I selectively transfer files from an iMac 2009 to a new iMac in 2015? The two running os 10.11.3.

    I do it with a G4 OS Tiger and the Mavericks MacBook by plugging into an Ethernet jack on my router and by enabling the sharing of files on the G4 in System Preferences > sharing.  If items are placed in a folder called 'Public', it can be read by anyone on the network by logging in as a guest. Otherwise, if I login with my user ID on this computer I get access read/write for all of my folders.

  • Is it possible to transfer music from an ipod 4G for the new model?

    I got my ipod touch 4g since 2010 and I was too cheap to upgrade. Now that the battery life has been emptying faster than ever and high sleep button no longer works, I think its time to finally switch to this new model.

    The bad part is that for the last 6 years, I have collected 12.6 GB worth of music on my ipod touch with nearly 85 per cent of it related to the device itself and not on my pc. I usually have the removed from the computer as Itunes would always keep always on my ipod touch as long as the songs were always listed in the library.

    I was wondering is there a way to transfer my music from my old ipod touch to the new model?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

    To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

    If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

    If you have a new machine and you just want to install software or backups, you can do it on the Apple Store. The process can last a few minutes.

    Or you could request assistance phone Apple help once you get your machine. (It's one of your benefits as a new Mac owner.) Or ask one of the people on this forum for further assistance - without having to drive to your Apple Store with a big iMac.

    You have a backup? That you install?

  • Transfer data from old mac but keep news

    Hello

    I want to transfer all of an old iMac that is running Yosemite, on a new 15 "MacBook Pro bought recently.

    iI'm worried that if I did not, I lose old software which I always use (old version inuding if numbers), but if I migrate entirely worried that I'll lose the latest version of osx, new numbers, etc..

    Sorry if this sounds vague. Any help much appreciated.

    You will not lose anything from computers unless a problem arises. Backup your data first.

  • Transfer data from PvZ 2 old iPad2 again

    My son got an iPad 2 that he used to play Plants vs Zombies 2: it's all the time. He made a lot of progress and has also made several purchases in the game. Last September, he got a new iPad Air but when we loaded the game all its previous purchases and progress have disappeared and I have not found a way to get back them. With the new iOS, you can't have the file structure of the applications that you used to be able to do (thank you, Apple, to protect me from myself)<-- sarcasm)="" so="" i="" can't="" use="" iexplorer="" or="" anything="" to="" copy="" the="" data="" from="" one="" to="" the="" other.="" i="" just="" want="" the="" data="" from="" this="" one="" game,="" not="" the="" entire="" ipad,="" because="" he="" has="" other="" progress="" on="" games="" that="" he="" has="" since="" loaded="" on="" his="" new="" ipad="" that="" i="" don't="" want="" to="" erase.="" there="" seems="" to="" be="" no="" easy="" way="" to="" simply="" log="" out="" of="" the="" game="" on="" one="" device="" and="" log="" in="" on="" the="" other="" to="" get="" them="" to="" sync.="" i've="" tried="" various="" things="" through="" icloud="" but="" now="" that="" there="" is="" no="" "documents="" and="" data"="" setting="" there="" you="" can't="" do="" it="" that="" way="">

    This was a huge pain. You would think that in all similar devices, it would be a bit simple but fashionable Apple which is not the case. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    The apple plan is for you your old device to backup and then restore it in your new device.

    It takes more flexibility by apple.  This is your camera.

  • Transfer data from DoPreUUT to the main sequence

    Hi all, I am working on editing a sequential model existing in NI TestStand.

    In PreUUT do that I just wanted to have mu, own VI Custom which will require a path and once the path is selected, the VI will extract 2D Array of string values that I have to move my hand Sequence.I am facing a question of transfer data from table 2D-doPreUUT to mu from the main sequence.

    http://forums.NI.com/T5/NI-TestStand/pass-parameters-from-PreUUT-to-main-SEQ/m-p/2850684#

    who says the best way is to use the globals file, but I'm not able to get my values transferred to my main sequence.

    Need help to solve...

    Thanks in advance

    If you are adding a FileGlobal to Test DUT and expecting to access this variable in your file of the client's sequence, you will not be able to read the FileGlobal directly. You will need to use the "RunState.Root.FileGlobals" string... »

    for example if you have an array of strings FileGlobals.MyDataPaths you MainSequence, you can access using RunState.Root.FileGlobals.MyDataPaths of MyDataPaths.

    Remember that this will only be available when you use the process model, therefore, it would be wise to test that you run with the process template.

    Hope this helps

  • transfer data from the SD card to the Thunb drive

    How to transfer data from a digital map that is blocked to a USB key?

    Bob

    The same way you copy data from any drive to any other player.  Do not let the name of Secure Digital (SD) stupid - there is nothing special about a SD card, storage is the same as a USB is.  Simply copy the files by drag-and - move or by using a command prompt and a utility like ROBOCOPY.
