I just got a new 15 inch MacBook Pro.
I had 13 inch mac book with a 200 gb harddrive. It was destroyed by water, but the harddrive was intact, as was it’s data, so I had it put into an external enclosure.
Now that I have my new macbook, what I want to do is move all my data from the external hard drive into my new macbook.
I have a big iTunes library, and I want it exactly set up like the old one, playlists etc. In addition I want to deauthorize the old machine and authorize the new one.
I also have a lot of photos in iPhoto, and I want it set up like the old one with albums etc.
I have an iPhone 3G and I want to get it all set up too.
And when all that data is in the computer correctly, I want to use the external hard drive as my time machine back up (do I need to delete the old info so the info now on my new macbook can be backed up?)
Here is what I have done so far:
I have gotten it all registered, all the user names all set up
my mobile me is all set up
safari all set up.
It is ready to go except for the data I had on my old computer, configured exactly as before.
How do I accomplish this?
PS I tried to do it once, think I messed up and reinstalled the OS and application software.
