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 to make iTunes Store purchases. It’s important to authorise this before you sync or play content you download from the iTunes Store.

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

But for current Mac owners, here's how to transfer data to a new Mac from your old one. Update your software - You will need to update your software first. Name your old Mac - If you haven't done so already, make sure your old Mac has a name. Open System Preferences Sharing and enter a name in the Computer Name field. Recently purchased a new Mac? Today I'm showing several ways to migrate your data from an old Mac to a NEW one. There are several methods and I am going to d.

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 the migration has finished.

Then use the check disk (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 has found problems, type the following, where drive is the letter that represents your Windows startup disk, such as D:
   
5. Press Enter.
6. At the prompt, type Y, then restart your PC.
7. Repeat this process until the check disk utility is not reporting any issues. If the utility can't fix every issue it has found, you may need to get your PC serviced. Then migrate your data to your Mac.

Move your data

This section guides you through migration, post-migration and what to do if the steps don’t work for you.

How to move your information from a PC to your Mac

1. On your PC, download and install the appropriate Windows Migration Assistant, based on the version of macOS on your Mac:
   • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Big Sur
   • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Mojave and macOS Catalina
   • Windows Migration Assistant for macOS Sierra and High Sierra
   • Windows Migration Assistant for OS X El Capitan or earlier
2. Quit any open Windows apps.
3. Open Windows Migration Assistant, then click Continue.
   
4. Start up your Mac. Setup Assistant will open automatically 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 onscreen 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 display the same passcode that your Mac is displaying.
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 has finished, select the information you want to migrate to your Mac and click Continue. Find out about some of the types of data you can transfer.
    

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

After you've moved your data

When the migration has finished, 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 this before you sync or play content downloaded from the iTunes Store.

If you experience any issues when 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 finished, you can turn firewall software on again.
• If Migration Assistant doesn’t open on your PC, turn off any antivirus software on your PC. Then try to open Migration Assistant again. After the migration has finished. 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 copy important data to your Mac manually.

What data can I transfer?

Migration Assistant lets you choose the data to move to your Mac. Here’s what is moved over for specific apps and data types:

Language and location settings, and custom desktop pictures are moved to System Preferences. Your web browser homepage is moved to Safari preferences.

Pictures
Photos and other images are moved to your home folder. You can then add them to Photos, or open Photos and let it search your Mac for photos to import.

iTunes content
Migration Assistant transfers your iTunes media as follows: music is moved to the Apple Music app, videos are moved to the Apple TV app, podcasts are moved to the Apple Podcasts app and audiobooks are moved to the Apple Books app.

Other files
Migration Assistant also moves these files:

• Files from the top-level folder of the currently logged-in user’s home directory
• Non-system files located in the Windows or Program Files folders
• Top-level folders located on the Windows system disk and other attached disks

1. Migration Assistant doesn’t support 64-bit versions of Outlook. You can migrate Mail, Contacts or Calendars from Outlook 2013 or Outlook 2016 manually by signing in and entering the content on your Mac manually.

2. Migration Assistant only transfers the Mail or Contacts data that belongs to the logged-in Windows user. To transfer data from another user account, use Migration Assistant again while you’re logged in to another Windows account. Every time you migrate, your Mac creates a new user account.

So, you have a new Mac with OSX and you’re excited to use it. But, you don’t have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 installed on the new computer. You can find the installation disk, but how do you move the license? Believe it or not, it is actually possible to transfer Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac’s license from one machine to another – and it’s just a matter of copying a few files. So far this process has worked on every computer I have tested it on, please let me know (in the comments) if this works for you too. I’ll take you through the dead simple step-by-step process of how to do this.

Briefly: With this process, you’ll be able to effectively transfer a valid, activated license from one OS X computer to another.
Update: It appears as though .lockfiles mentioned are purely optional. If you don’t have one (as shown in the photo below), there is no need to worry. This process works the same.
Update: Also, some of these folders are hidden, to shown them in finder on MacOS Sierra and above, use the key combination of CMD + SHIFT + .

For Windows: For Mac OS: Download the zip file and copy it to any folder on your computer. Extract the zip file. Navigate to the Setup.exe file. For example if you have copied and extracted the zip file to Adobe folder on your desktop, the folder hierarchy will be: C:UsersDesktopAcrobat2020WebWWMUIAdobe Acrobat. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC software is the free global standard for reliably viewing, printing, and commenting on PDF documents. And now, it's connected to the Adobe Document Cloud −. Download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC for Mac 2020.006.20042 for Mac. Fast downloads of the latest free software! Adobe acrobat download free pc. Always free, and now more powerful than ever, the Acrobat Reader mobile app is packed with the tools you need to view, annotate, sign, and share PDFs anywhere. And with Acrobat Standard.

I should note too, these files and folders are named in very similar ways. It’s easy to get tripped up. Take this process slow, move through each file one at a time, not missing anything.
