    Can an old rMBP talk to a brand new Macbook?

    Hello. I am still using a 2013 rMBP. It works pretty well, except its original battery is dying. Time for an upgrade. I'll get a MBA15 or MBP M3 or something. Doesn't really matter...they'll be stupidly fast and more capable than what I have now. Say the new laptop arrives. Can I create a...

    I tried (and failed) to transfer files IN FILE APP on iPad to Mac (Catalina) via Thunderbolt. Is it even possible?

Then I copied it to the Files app on the iPad and deleted it from the Photos app on both devices (and emptied trash), so the video is now only on one device in the Files app. I'm...

    Transferring Files from S7 to iPhone 8

    How do I go about transferring my music and photos to the iPhone? My music and photos are saved on my S7's SD card, not on the phone's internal storage. My contacts, calendar and mail are all through Gmail. I really don't want to use iTunes (do I have to?) to transfer the music portion. Most...

    iMovie Library Transfer

    So, I just got a Macbook Air because my old 2011 iMac is very slow and I needed a faster computer to edit iMovie projects. I'm wondering if I can move my old iMovie Library to my new Macbook, and be able to access the files from iMovie on the laptop and use them in projects. This Library has so...

    How to transfer only "Favorites" pictures to new iPhone ?

    Hi ! I'm not sure if I'm in the right section or not but since it's not only iOS related, here's my problem. I upgraded from 5S to 6 and I'd like to transfer only my "Favorites" photos to my new iPhone 6, not the whole camera roll (It's too big and I already have a backup of it on my mac). But...
