What is the best way to transfer files from old to new computer

I think of buying a new Imac to replace my 27 Imac K 27 5 two years old.

What would be the best way to move my files such as e-mail, documents, music, photos, etc., with doing a complete Imac Imac transfer?

I would like to start fresh with the OS and then reinstall all my program files, but some files to transfer.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

    The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

    (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

    (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

    (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

    (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

    This is a very common and classic situation:

    http://helpx.Adobe.com/Photoshop-elements/KB/backup-restore-move-catalog-Photoshop.html

    Just make sure that your backup on the external drive is ok: you should find a "backup.tly" file in the folder.

    Use the organizer of PSE11 to restore the backup of the PSE7: the first step restores all your multimedia files, the second automatically performs a conversion of catalogue in format PSE11.

    Read the note in the link above on the restoration of XP to the ulterior Win operating system. You can also restore to a location 'custom '. For example in a "C:\My new library" folder. Make sure the main folder is accessible to all users, and if you wish, you can move the catalog (database), itself from this location to the default location: Catalog Manager, ability to move catalogs in location that is accessible to all users.

  • What is the best way to transfer a hard drive of a computer with a motherboard dead to a new system?

    Moving an Installation of Vista

    Hi guys (and girls).

    I'm looking for the best way to transfer my computer drive "workaholic" into another machine... it's a Vista Home Premium x 86 OEM installation, but the motherboard has serious problems, so I'll pulling the reader (and its programs of many irreplaceable and owners) and transfer it into another machine. Yes, I know what are the rules regarding OEM licenses and I don't mean to skirt the rules, as I have a full VHPx86 commercial license collecting dust on the shelf that I was going to use, while I was looking for advice on the transfer:

    Should I go through the process of installation/installation (and following key change) on the original machine and transfer, then the drive in the new machine?

    Or can I move the disk to the new machine as that is, struggle with the driver updates and enter the new key when I reactivate the license?

    Thanks for any advice,

    JAM

    I suggest to install the copy retail hard disk once it's in the new computer.  It is more complicated than simply changing the product key.  You can probably use an upgrade of the repair on-site and avoid having to reinstall your programs and data.  However, you should make a backup of the image first, just in case something goes wrong.  The other option is a clean installation of the new OS and Windows Easy Transfer to move your files and settings.  It would need to reinstall your programs.  Personally, I recommend the latter.  If you go this route there are external to the file migwiz drive since you will be formatting the drive.

  • BlackBerry smartphones my 9700 coming today, what is the best way to transfer contacts from 8320?

    Hi all

    I have a new Bold 9700 from t-mobile, who arrive today. I have about 300 contacts in the address book on my Curve 8320, also have a group containing more than 100 contacts that I use for SMS to the group. I asked the representative of t-mobile, how do I transfer contacts from the curve on the "BOLD" and she told me if they are on the sim card, then they will be on the new phone. It will take me a long time to save all contacts on the sim card, and I'll lose some e-mail addresses and other notes.

    The Curve 8320 running OS v4.5.0.81, I guess that the "BOLD" will have a flavor of 5.0.

    1. Can I use the device switch Wizard to transfer the contacts from the Curve 8320 the Bold 9700?
    2. If #1 is Yes, the group will transfer more also or should I create a new group and add contacts?
    3. I'll be able to transfer 3rd party applications or is it better to re - download and install fresh for the "BOLD"? A single application that I'm worried about is "SmartAlerts", I had to pay for the full version of this app.

    I was wondering how much work/time I should be doing tonight, and if anyone has any advice for making the transfer to the new device. I'm happy to get rid of this trackball!

    Thank you!

    1. Yes, use the SDW (I would also FIRST do a full backup using the Desktop Manager > backup, just for the heck of it).

    2. Yes, it will be.

    3. Yes, they * need. You need to activation or registration for all purchased apps code, once you're running on the 9700. Depending on where you bought this app (mobihand.com uses a process of change of PIN code on their site, AppWorld should recognize the PIN change), but the process can vary depending on the application and where you bought from.

    * You can do another (which I recommend) backup of your third-party applications by following the instructions here: http://www.blackberryforums.com/aftermarket-software/91912-how-backup-restore-all-installed-3rd-part...

  • What is the best way to transfer files to an external hard drive?

    I would like to clean my laptop occasionally so that the hard disk gets more than half full, because I run a large number of graphics and good programs, my fan has some mental problems then he goes crazy. The problem now is that my external hard drive is that of 500 GB and now it's almost half full. I tried to use the files zipped, but honestly, there's just a huge amount of time to compress something (which by the way, why windows excludes a zipped folder more?) and the file gets that much smaller. Should I use another form of compression program?
    A Briefcase is not a substitute for a zipped folder?
    Thank you

    ". . . I can't even afford a good 1 TB hard drive. »

    Whenever you are able to buy another external drive, get not necessarily the least expensive (unless it's a more expensive player for sale). If these backups are valuable to you, go the extra cost of a high quality unit.

    It seems that you pretty much a backup solution, you're just trying to reduce the time it takes. I understand perfectly with having six physical computers, but four of them use SyncToy to keep the two main desktop computers in sync so I only have two I actually backup; I picture all six, but much less frequent that my backups (copies).

    If you try to compress large video files (of the order of GB), I can see where this would be extremely slow and compress probably not as much as you said. In the past, I use to make a copy of zip each of my web sites periodically to check them with one of the order of 1 GB, which took forever.

    ", I don't really like having a bunch of useless files"

    Have you tried the free version of CCleaner? I use it and it keeps a pretty simple enough clean machine. If you have not heard of him or tried, see my post about it in the thread below.

  • What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

    I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

    \

    Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

    Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

    So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

    When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

    So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

    Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.

  • What is the best way to "clean up/free space" on my computer? Thank you

    What is the best way to clean/free up space on my computer?  Even do not know where to look to see how much space I use... Thank you.

    A loss of main surface within each user profile would be penchant of EI for the storage of copies (or much) of almost every web page, your friend has already visited.  Try to reduce the amount of temporary Internet files put in cache, which is huge by default.  I always bring it back to a maximum of 50 MB.  In Internet Explorer, click on tools > Internet Options > general, temporary files > settings.

    Same principle for the Java cache. Start > Control Panel > Java > temporary Internet files > settings.

    The System Volume Information is the folder in restoration of which WinXP system feature stores information to retrieve errors.  By default, Windows XP sets aside a maximum of 12% of the size of the partition to store the information of the System Volume, but the amount of space reserved for this purpose can be adjusted by the user.  Start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > System Restore Settings, select the relevant partition and click settings.  If you don't want to use the system at all, restore simply to turn off System Restore (start > all programs > Accessories > system tools > system, System Restore settings restore) and restart.  This will remove all your Restore Points, thus freeing up hard disk space.

    An another great space waster may be trash.  By default, it takes up to 10% of the capacity of your hard drive. On today's big hard disks, it's a lot of waste.  It can be set to a lower limit by right clicking the desktop Receycle Bin icon, select Properties, and using the scroll bar to reduce the maximum size to something more reasonable - 1% to 2% should be more than enough space.

  • What is the best way to use files recovery

    I work in FM 11 and broke FM a few times. What is the best way to use the recovery files and save them as normal files? So should I filter a window of the Explorer to "recovery" so FM don't ask me if I want to use the older recovery files? Thanks for your help.

    > What is a wash of the MIF?

    1. Save all the files of FM component .mif as MIF format.
      Save the .book as. book.MIF in the MIF format.
    2. Output FM.
      Restart FM.
    3. Open .mifs. Save as FM, replacing the old (FM probably saved files).
    4. Open the. book.MIF, re - register under .book.
      Note: do not open the. first book.MIF and then try to open the component files, or open the files binary pre - MIF.

    FM11 and 12 can have a free add-on as much as the fact in a single operation.

    Washing MIF creates new .book files and FM have syntactically correct data structures (and that may have lack of bad content). They are less likely to crash, but can still have problems.

  • Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transfer the CS6 and Lightroom

    Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transer CS6 and Lightroom? Both applications have been updated. Should I reinstall it on the Adobe site?

    first of all, if you're going to retire this old computer or, at least, no longer use your adobe on this old computer programs, open and click Help > deactivate.

    then install your files to your new computer and activate.  If you already have an installation cd, you don't need to download.  If you don't have the installation files, download the trial and activate it with your order number.
