I know others who haven't updated from OS 10.6.8 because of software they don't want to lose. I'll let you know what, if anything, works. I DO actually have a couple of PCs, one running Windows 7 and one very new PC laptop running Windows 10 (ick, ick).and so that looks like an option. The option of PCs looks great-possibly could transfer everything except the Pages documents. (The MacBook Pro doesn't recognize the USB on my iPad.)Ĥ. I wouldn't mind purchasing a USB/Lightening memory stick if I thought it could actually transfer the files. I like the partition idea, but think it's beyond my abilities and I'm nervous about overtaxing my old computer.ģ. Any tips or links about how one does that? As I said, I'm not very technically minded, but I can follow step-by-step instructions.Ģ. It connects to my MacBook Pro with a firewire. Downloading OS X El Capitan on my external drive is tempting. I do recognize that at some point, it will all be lost and am always seeking new fractal art programs.and the creations are backed up and preserved on multiple machines.ġ.
I've had my hard drive rebuilt, and so far the MacBook Pro (17"!!!!) continues to run well. The software in question helps me create some very sophisticated fractal art, and it is really great.
What I want to transfer: documents (novels!) that are on Pages, PDF files (especially sheet music, as I plan to use the iPad primarily for reading music), my MP3 music library, artwork, and photos.Įverything on the MacBook Pro is backed up on an external drive. Just so you know, the iPad is brand new-arrived yesterday!-with limited instructions, and I have zero experience with this kind of equipment and am NOT of a technical bent, so I hadn't even realized that it would have a different operating system from my Mac.
