Migrating Information to Your MacBook Pro
You can follow the prompts in Setup Assistant to migrate existing user accounts, files,
applications, and other information from another Mac computer. You can do this with
one of the following methods:
Â
Using a FireWire cable to connect the two computers together and transfer the
information
Â
Using an Ethernet cable connected directly between both computers, or connecting
both computers to the same network
Â
Wirelessly, directly between both computers, or with both computers on the same
wireless network
Before performing migration, use Software Update on your other Mac to ensure you
have the latest version of Mac OS X software—either Mac OS X v10.4.11 or Mac OS X
v10.5.6 (or later).
You can choose the items (user accounts, documents, movies, music, photos, and so
on) that you want to migrate to your MacBook Pro.
Important:
Don’t use the other Mac for anything else until the migration is complete.
If you don’t use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your
computer, you can do it later using Migration Assistant. If the connection is terminated
during migration, you can resume the migration at a later time using Migration
Assistant on your MacBook Pro and your other Mac. Go to the Applications folder, open
Utilities, and double-click Migration Assistant.
