I think mine came with a 3 machine license, and the box had an activation code on a card. There's a good chance that it's not compatible between a version that worked on 10.6 and that you now want on 10.10. When I migrated (using ethernet) over to my mid-2012 MBP it would no longer work.

I had Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Student/Personal version). You would attach your external drive, run Migration Assistant, and then chose your cloned volume as the source.ģ. I believe you can do that with Migration Assistant (in Utilities) once you have your old drive backed up to a drive partition.

What are you trying to do? Of course it's not going to automatically sync, but it sounds like you just want the data from the old one on the new one this one time. You're right to just reformat the whole thing and start over.Ģ.

I'm not a techie person and I'm trying to learn what and how to do this. The first backup on the old MAC may have backed up the whole system and then I was worried it might mess up the new MAC. The old MAC also has Microsoft Office which I want to be able to access on the new Mac.Ĥ. I want all my data from the old Mac accessible on the new Mac without having to search two places.ģ. I'm going to clean up the new WD drive, remove their software and my backup and start over.Ģ. I was going to start on the other computer and many questions popped up.ġ. Some people just copy over files using an external drive as a "swap disk". Once that's done you can use Migration Assistant to copy over the relevant files/data from the cloned drive to the 10.10.5 computer. Then clone the 10.6.8 drive to the external drive. Have one partition for the 10.6.8 computer and another for the 10.10.5 computer. What I'd recommend is format and partition into two or three volumes depending on the size of your internal drives. I like it because it handles stuff like the Recovery HD volume saved automatically to the clone. Now it's just a free 30 day trial, then I'll back up every once in a while where it gives me a couple of days to extend the trial.

I donated way back but hadn't used it in a while and didn't get a license key when I had the chance. I was using it since it was donation ware. I use Carbon Copy Cloner myself, although I haven't paid for it in a while. I'm not sure if there's a way to do it with USB-C. Then after that there was a way to do it with an ethernet cable, but again that won't work for you. There used to be a way to migrate using Firewire in target mode, but that's not going to work in case. When you ask to "eject" one, OSX will ask if you want to eject just that volume or all of the volumes on a single external drive. On OSX it will show up on the desktop as multiple orange external drive icons. You can even repartition an existing partition without losing data. Partitions are just where a drive is separated into "logical volumes" or what appear to be multiple drives. It takes less than a minute to erase (format really) a drive in HFS+ format using Disk Utility.

I wouldn't even worry if it was a drive formatted for Windows.

Will the WD Passport above work?Īnother poster said to not worry about the compatibility, which is sound advice. Minimum System Requirements Apple OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple OS X 10.9 Mavericks, Apple OS X 10.10 Yosemite, Apple OS X 10.11 El Capitan in one place.Īt Best Buy, it says the WD Passport Drive for compatibility is:

I need to get everything off the older Mac onto a portable drive that I can use with the new Mac.

I realize I didn't properly explain my problem in my first message.

I'm in the US and I was doing a chat with Best Buy late last night, and my local store has the one you recommended above. I thought this would be so simple and maybe I complicated it as I was very intimidated by having to reformat. If in the United States, Best Buy sells all four sizes: I'd be surprised if it didn't work on both of the OP's computers, and if it didn't then it would make sense to buy from a place with a good return policy. Even if they don't say that it works, USB drives typically work on anything as long as they're reformatted correctly. I still don't consider out of the box format to be an issue, since reformatting is pretty fast and easy. Probably needs HFS+ (Journaled) but then I didn't hear how the OP intended on doing the backups. Any drive that you have the hardware to attach, once formatted for Mac, should be readable by either or both. Drive formats for use by the two systems you mentioned are identical.
