Check software, settings, and power

Make sure that your old Mac has a computer name: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing and check the Computer Name field.
Connect both computers to AC power.

Connect the computers to each other

If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, just make sure that they're near each other and have Wi-Fi turned on. If either is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, connect them to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Or connect them using target disk mode and the appropriate cable or adapter. Then start up your old computer in target disk mode.

In the example above, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If you transfer an account that has the same name as an account on your new Mac, you're asked to rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account appears as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account overwrites the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.

After Migration Assistant is done, log in to the migrated account on your new Mac to see its files. If you're not keeping your old Mac, learn what to do before selling it or giving it away.

Mac computers are known for their user-friendly operating system and easy-to-access features. This not only applies to editing home movies and creating personal webpages, but also includes basic functions like backing up files and documents. USB flash drives, also sometimes referred to as thumb drives, are small portable disks used for storing any type of file or folder. As of 2011, USB flash drives are available with a storage capacity of up to 256 gigabytes. You can use a USB flash drive to back up photos from your Mac.

Step 1

Click on your 'Finder' and create a new folder by simultaneously pressing the 'Command,' 'Shift' and 'N' keys. Give your folder an appropriate name, such as 'Photos' (without quotes).

Step 2

Choose the photos you want to copy from your iPhoto photo library if your are using iPhoto, select 'File' from the top menu bar and then select 'Export.' Choose the 'File Export' tab and select 'JPEG' as your file format under 'Kind' from the drop-down menu. Choose 'Maximum' as your file quality to export full resolution photos. Click the 'Export' button, choose your new folder as the destination and click 'OK.' If you are copying from a folder, you will be able to drag and drop directly.

Step 3

Plug in your USB flash drive. If you need to format your flash drive, open Disk Utility by clicking the 'Applications' folder and then the 'Utilities' folder. Double-click the Disk Utility icon to open the application. Select your flash drive from the menu on the right, then click the 'Erase' tab; you will have to erase the contents of your drive to reformat it. Select 'MS-DOS (FAT)' if you want your flash drive to be compatible with both Windows and Mac, as well as other devices including video game consoles. Click the 'Erase' button.

Step 4

Choose the photos you want to copy from your Finder if you are using a folder or choose the folder containing the images you exported from iPhoto. Drag the folder and drop it into the USB flash drive device icon, located on the left-hand shortcut menu bar of your Finder.

Step 5

Allow your photos to copy completely, then click the 'Eject' icon to safely remove your drive. If you have over 500 photos, copy in batches to reduce chances of your computer stalling.
