How to Move the Apple Remote Desktop Admin to Another Mac

Use an Ethernet cable to make a connection between the two Macs.

Mac OS X makes it easy to transfer personal files, settings and software programs between Macs. Use the preinstalled Migration Assistant to help you move programs such as the Apple Remote Desktop Admin utility to your new Mac. You can transfer any file as long as the two computers are connected to the same wireless network or share an Ethernet connection.

Things You'll Need

• Ethernet cable

Instructions

1. Connect a power source to both Macs.

2. Insert one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your Mac and plug the other end into the Mac that has the Apple Remote Desktop Admin utility.

3. Click the "Finder" icon on the dock and click the "Applications" folder on the Mac to which you wish to transfer files. Choose "Utilities" and select "Migration Assistant."

4. Click "Continue" in the Introduction window and log in with the administrator password. Select "From Another Mac" in the "Migration Method" page and click "Continue."

5. Open the Migration Assistant utility on the Mac that holds this utility and click "Continue." Select "To Another Mac" in the Migration Method page and click "Continue." A pass code will appear in the "Connect Your Computers" window.

6. Enter the pass code into the boxes on your other Mac and click "Continue." A dialogue window will appear, displaying the contents of the other Mac's hard drives. Click on the "Apple Remote Desktop Admin" icon and click "Transfer" to move the utility.
