How to downsize 3 Macs to one MacBook Pro?
I'm looking to retire my mid-2007 MacPro, my late-2008 iMac and my late-2011 MacBook Pro in order to move to a new MacBook Pro. Of course, each machine has some files, photos and applications I'd like to bring to the new machine. I have iPhoto Library Manager, which has done a great job with photos previously. iTunes is not a concern as I only use my current laptop for music/iPhone/iPad syncs. Same for Mail, Calendar & Contacts.
Regards the other bits, should I just pull the things of interest off Time Machine backups from each machine?
Can I pull from each of Time Machine backups to a new MacBook?
Do I just DropBox what I want to combine?
It'll probably be less than a thousand files to gather, but I'd love to hear from others for a better chance of success & sanity. Thanks.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
