Use the old MBP as disk hard wi - fi?

Is it possible to use my MBP 2011 as an external hard drive access via wifi with my new MBP mid-2015?

Otherwise, I can buy an external hard drive and transfer everything on it; How I linking to our wifi router, and I can buy a regular drive (LaCie is what I've always bought in the past).

Thanks for any help.

Get an external drive enclosure usb, remove it from the old computer and put the old drive in the case, connect the box/HDD to the usb port of your router. Then, connect to the drive using wifi to your router.

  • Use the old hard drive?

    I just replaced my old time capsule with a new one.

    Can I now use the old time capsule as a hard drive?

    I wired to this old laptop and you want to back up laptop to manually time capsule.

    But I do not see the capsule in the finder.

    shouldn't this work?

    any tips?

    I wired to this old laptop and you want to back up laptop to manually time capsule.

    Not the correct way to define things upward.  Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the new time Capsule on 'o' WAN port on the old time Capsule <-->. Make sure that the old Time Capsule is set to run in "Bridge" Mode and turn off the wireless on the device.

    Then you can connect your old laptop using another Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the old Time Capsule <-->(or the new Capsule of time, if you wish).

  • I am trying to rebuild my old iTunes library (hoping to keep notes, play counts, playlists, etc.) on a new laptop of an old PC, even if the only files I have to use the old are the .xml, .itl.

    I am trying to rebuild my old iTunes library (hoping to keep notes, play counts, playlists, etc.) on a new laptop of an old PC, although the only files I have to use the old are the .xml, .itl and current music files. Is this enough information to do it, and if so, how should I do?

    I lost the other information by following the instructions found online of other attempts. I have unfortunately seem to have lost all that concerns my old library with the exception of the foregoing. I have been using an external hard drive to make this attempt. When iTunes opens it is empty, and when you try to import the .xml I only get playlists, although there is nothing inside of them. It would not be the end of the world for me to start all over again, I've not lost music files, but loading in my all of my old info is much, much, much more desirable. Thank you!

    I'm sure that the sides are stored with the file of 80%. (wav mp3/4 whatever)---> or at least the should be!

    Just install itunes.

    Copy the contents of your old folder in the itunes directory and start itunes--> it will do the rest.

    PS...
    However, I wouldn't bother with itunes more... windows media player is pretty cool in 7, does all the same things.

    Personally I stick with the purchase of CD (mp3 downloads are a rip off)

  • Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 Home and use the old product key?

    Hello

    I got a laptop from a former employer who removed the hard drive before give me the computer.

    I installed a new hard drive and you want to do a fresh install.

    The previous operating system was Windows 7 Pro OA Enterprise Edition and I have the product key for it.

    Can I do a fresh install of Windows 7 Home and use the old product key?

    and after that I still increases to 10 Windows using the same product key?

    Concerning

    If you have plans to upgrade to Windows 10 Home, I would skip trying to reinstall Windows 7 and go directly to Windows 10.

    You can use your family Windows 7 product key to install Windows 10, learn how:

    How to install and activate Windows 10 using your Windows 7 or Windows 8 product key

    Step 1: How to download official Windows 10 ISO files

    Step 2: how: perform a clean installation of Windows 10

    If you are experiencing problems activating Windows 10, see:

    Activate your Windows 10 license with Microsoft Chat support

    I recommend to go to Windows 10 now while you can, because Microsoft will stop the free upgrade offer at the end of July:

    Windows 10 free upgrade offer ends July 29 as planned

    If you still want to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, please see:

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  • Upgrading the RAM. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer.

    My old computer which does not has RAM 1.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR @ 106 MHz (2, 5-3-3-7), while the anther computer, I bought recently has RAM DDR 400/128 bits. Can I use the old memory of the computer for the newly purchased computer. Are they compatible? Thank you

    Hello nonmae,.

    You must use DDR 400/128 bit RAM in your system. @ 106 Mhz DDR is quite old. It's also much slower than the DDR 400. RAM is not particularly expensive today and it is always best to stick to that suggests your PC user manual.

    You must use the same speed too, if you use a lower speed, the memory of your PC by default at the lowest speed, thus slowing the PC

    I bought the Adobe Creative Suite master collection over the past two years with my old mac. I bought a new mac, can I continue to use the old serial number? If not, where can I get the serial number? Where I am, I guess that contact to?

    Yes, your license allows you to have two facilities activated simultaneously, so if you want to you can have both machines busy and active so that there is a backup should it come in handy.  You can also contact Adobe via chat and ask them to reset your activations so that you have one (or two) released for a new installation.

  • Use the HP upgrade wizard disk?

    Have seen a few posts that it is better NOT to use the HP upgrade wizard disk. Have seen the messages the disck Upgrade Wizard disables some programs/features and all the necessary drivers are available on the HP site.  Instead, we should just update directly from the Windows 7 disc.  Should you use the upgrade wizard disk?

    ewrayjr,

    The upgrade wizard will uninstall some programs that are not compatible with Windows 7 and the replacement by versions of Windows 7 compatible, for example Norton Internet Security.  It will contain also most (if not all) of the drivers that you will need for your PC.

    The upgrade wizard is highly recommended for a smooth upgrade process.

    CC of Dreamweaver is capable of handling any HTML page, regardless of where it was created. However, you might find that your existing code is not valid (it depends on how good your understanding of HTML is).

    Download the demo version and see how you rate. However, you should be warned that Dreamweaver CC is very different from DW 4.
