Apple Store Transfer Pc To Mac

New photo software free download. Windows Migration Assistant transfers your contacts, calendars, email accounts and more from a PC. It migrates this data to the appropriate places on your Mac. After migrating data to your Mac, authorise your computer for iTunes Store purchases. It's important to authorise before you sync or play content that you download from the iTunes Store.

For a start, Apple offers what it calls the Windows Migration Assistant, a software tool for your PC that can be used to transfer data across a network to a new Mac. Apple quietly did away with the $99 fee it charges to migrate data from your old Mac to your new computer. The policy change, which went into effect on April 2nd, was first reported by TidBITS. You can also transfer files between iPhone and other devices by using AirDrop and sending email attachments. Alternatively, you can transfer files for apps that support file sharing by connecting iPhone to a Mac (with a USB port and OS X 10.9 or later) or a Windows PC (with a USB port and Windows 7 or later). Tip: If you are transferring files from a PC to a Mac, the external hard drive must be formatted as MS-DOS or NTFS, not APFS. SD cards and thumb drives use the same FAT32 format on both macOS.

If you're migrating from one Mac to another Mac, follow the steps to move your content to a new Mac.

Before you begin

To prepare for a smooth migration:

• Make sure Windows is up to date. Migration Assistant works with Windows 7 and later.
• Make sure you know the name and password of an administrator account on your PC.
• Connect your Mac and PC to the same network, such as your home Wi-Fi network. Or connect an ethernet cable between the ports on your Mac and PC to create a direct network connection. Some Mac models require an ethernet adapter, such as the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
• If you're using Microsoft OneDrive on your PC, follow Microsoft's instructions for uninstalling OneDrive before continuing. You can reinstall OneDrive after migration has been completed.

Then use the check disc (chkdsk) utility on your PC to make sure your Windows hard drive doesn't have any issues:

1. Right-click the Start button, then click Run.
2. Type cmd and press Enter. Command Prompt opens.
3. At the prompt, type chkdsk and press Enter.
4. If the utility reports that it found problems, type the following, where drive is the letter that represents your Windows startup disc, such as D:
   
5. Press Enter.
6. At the prompt, type Y, then restart your PC.
7. Repeat this process until the check disc utility reports no issues. If the utility can't fix every issue that it finds, you may need to have your PC serviced. Then migrate your data to your Mac.

2. Quit any open Windows apps.
3. Open Windows Migration Assistant, then click Continue.
   
4. Start up your Mac. Setup Assistant automatically opens the first time you turn on your Mac. If you've already set up your Mac, open Migration Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
   
5. On your Mac, follow the on-screen prompts until you get to the migration pane of the assistant. Select the option to transfer your information 'From a Windows PC', then click Continue.
   
6. When prompted, enter an administrator name and password.
7. Click Continue to close any other open apps.
8. In the migration window on your Mac, select your PC from the list of available computers. Then wait for the PC to show the same passcode that your Mac shows.
9. When both computers display the same passcode, click Continue on your PC and Mac.
10. Your Mac will scan the drives on your PC to build a list of information to migrate. When the scan is being completed, select the information that you want to migrate to your Mac and click Continue. Learn about some of the data that you can transfer.
    

You can watch the progress and estimated time remaining on both the PC and your Mac. They tell you when migration has been completed.

After you've moved your data

When the migration has been completed, close Windows Migration Assistant on your PC. Then log in to the new user account on your Mac. The first time you log in to a user account migrated from your PC, you'll be asked to set a password. You can use the same password that you used on your PC or create a new password.

After logging in to the user account that you've migrated, authorise your computer for iTunes Store purchases. It's important to authorise before you sync or play content downloaded from the iTunes Store.

If you have any issues moving your data

• Quit all open apps on your PC, then try migrating your content again. For example, you can press Alt-Tab to choose an open application, then press Alt-F4 to quit it.
• If your PC doesn't appear in the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant window on your Mac, make sure the computers are connected to the same network. You can create a network by connecting a single ethernet cable between your Mac and PC. If that doesn't help, check for firewall software on your PC and turn it off. After the migration has been completed, you can turn firewall software on again.
• If Migration Assistant doesn't open on your PC, turn off any anti-virus software on your PC. Then try to open Migration Assistant again. After the migration has been completed. You can turn that software on again.
• If you still can't migrate your information successfully, you can use an external drive or file sharing to manually copy important data to your Mac.
