Hi everyone,
i am looking for the easiest and the best way to do a little HDD backing up and swapping, Here is my issue.
i have a late 2009 macbook i recently ordered a new 1tb HDD for it but before i even got it my logicbored fried so i ended up getting one of the new Macbook Pros, now what i would like to do is get all the information (movies music and documents) off the 2009 macbooks HDD and put it on the 1tb and then put the 1tb into the new macbook pro. i Unforunently do not have a time machine set up from the old macbook.
so i am kind of wondering if i can clone the Macbook pro's HDD drive on to the 1TB then put it right into the new macbook pro and then the late 2009 macbook hdd into an extrernal SATA case and use that as if it were still in a Macbook and do the Load from oldermac service.
or
put the 2009 macbook HDD into the Macbook pro and then clone that one on to the 1tb and replace and what not.
i have not recived the new macbook pro yet, shipping is a little slow for me because i am in afghanistan the supplies i have are pretty good as i am an I.T. in the USMC but they are still just the essentials
i have read alittle bit about the swapping HDD on the forums but nothing that could quite help with this small predicament.
any help would be greatfully apperciated even other ideas and tips!
thank you very much for your time!
