Bullet proof way to install larger harddrive and clone ,copy original to new drive

I want to install a new and larger hard drive I want a Bombproof and as simple as possiable way to copy/clone everything on existing drive to new drive,,, end result the old drive becomes a "spare or external drive and new drive is just larger everythihng looks the same

The super simple 3 clicks and 'toss it in' (lol) method.
1. grab carbon copy cloner or (my fave) superDuper CLONE app.
2. attach target clone drive via USB in an enclosure or HD dock
3. clone internal HD to target HD (external) [takes about 40 mins depending on size]
4. Boot ONCE from external (go to sys. preference to boot from external) to TEST the new Clone
5. open bottom (see videos on ifixit or youtube on same) and remove old, install new.

My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable. Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

Nothing gets imported. Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues. If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library. At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library.

I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

Yes.
You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus). There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

Is there a way to select MULTIPLE tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs and titles/or URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; However, I prefer to use a Firefox feature rather than download an add on. Thanks.

Currently, I can copy ONE tab's url and nothing else (not its name). Or I can bookmark all tabs that are open. However, I'd like to have the ability to select multiple tabs and then copy ALL of the the URLs AND their titles/or copy ALL of the URLs+titles+HTML links? This can be done with the Multiple Tab Handler add on; when I download the add on, I get a message saying that using the add on will disable Firefox's tab features. I prefer to use Firefox features rather than download and use an add on. Is there a way to do this without an add on?

Hi LRagsdale517,
You should definitely be able to upload multiple files by Shift-clicking or Ctrl-clicking the files you want to upload. Just to make sure you don't have an old version of the service cached, please clear the browser cache and then log in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/files. After clicking the File Upload icon in the upper-right corner, you should be able so select multiple files for upload.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

Install RAC 11gR2 and Apply Patches with OUI New Software Updates Option

Has anyone tried the installation with the New Software Updates Option?
I will install 11gR2 RAC Grid and I plan to do the following steps:
1) Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patchset 11.2.0.2
2) Do all the configuration with OUI
3) Create ASM disks
4) Install Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 Software Only
5) Apply Oracle Recommended Patches 11.2.0.2.2 (12311357) and 12431716. (ref. MOS doc [ID 756671.1])
6) Create RAC Database (advanced option) with DBCA
With these steps:
Grid and ASM disks would be configured without the recommended patches, but the database will be created with the patches applied.
I would not like to do a "Software only" install of GI and then apply the patches because later I would have to manually do all the configuration steps.
If I use the OUI Software Updates Option to apply the patches, will OUI do all the patching and then let me configure GRID with OUI ?
Quote from Oracle® Grid Infrastructure Installation Guide 11g Release 2 (11.2) for Linux - Part Number E17212-11:
" Use the Software Updates feature to dynamically download and apply software updates as part of the Oracle Database installation. You can also download the updates separately using the downloadUpdates option and later apply them during the installation by providing the location where the updates are present."
I could not find more detailed information about this feature on documentation and MOS .
Thanks

Replacing HD With SSD, Need To Install OS X (Not Clone Old HD) On New SSD

Hello All!!
I am getting a new Samsung 830 series 256GB SSD today which I am going to put in my 2011 (late year) MacBook Pro 15". I would like to put the new SSD in with a fresh installation of OS X (I don't want to clone my old hard drive). Can anyone please outline the steps to do this or put a link to a web page that explains it in nice simple terms?
I have tried searching around but I can't seem to find any page that is helpful. I did find one website that explained how to put the OS X on a USB flash drive. They said to download OS X from the App Store but when I checked it was like $27. I don't want to pay for a newer version of OS X I just want to put a fresh install of the version I already have (10.7.5) on the new SSD.
Thank you!

Believe it or not, a clone of your old boot drive onto a blank powered, Disk Utility formatted GUID / OS X Extended (Journaled )external drive is the safest choice.
This gives you something to boot the computer with in case of trouble with the SSD, when formatting it and reverse cloning everything back on.
I know what you said, you want a clean install of OS X. However in 10.7 and later to install OS X fresh needs the Recovery HD partiton to be booted from, on the boot drive, to download 10.7 from Apple's servers.
So the object here is to clone your old boot drive clone to the formatted SSD of everything, OS X and Recovery Partition (plus any Apple hidden gems), then when that's completed, later boot into Recovery HD and wipe just the Macintosh HD partiton clean and clean install OS X there again.
There is only one software that can do this and it's Carbon Copy Cloner. Superdupes can't clone Recovery HD.
Just use the CCC's default setting to clone one drive to another. Hold the option key down while booting to enter Startup Manager, where you can select which drive you want to boot from.
To first format any blank or soon ot be overwrtitten drive, use Disk Utility to select the entire drive and Partition: Options: GUID and OS X ext. jorun., as the format.
To erase the Macnitosh HD partition, hold command r boot from the SSD to enter Recovery HD and select the Macintosh HD partiton in Disk Utility to erase it. Then quit and floow the instructions to reinstall 10.7 fresh from Apple's servers.
There is plenty of good info here

How to re-install Mainstage purchased from the App Store onto new drive

I recently purchased Mainstage 2.2.1 from the App Store. It automatically downloaded and installed the app onto my drive (not giving me a physical installer dmg, I guess this is normal). My system was slow so I decided to buy an SSD drive and install it in place of the Superdrive as a dedicated music drive. After installing Lion and booting from this new drive I went to the App store assuming I could simply re-install the app but there is no option for that. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thanks

Just just launch the Mac App Store, select the "Purchased" tab and download MainStage or any other application you already bought.

Moving home and application folders to a new drive

i have a couple of questions that may seem stupid, but since i do not know the answers, here they are:
- on a mac pro with two drives, can i just drag my home folder to the new drive to move it there?
- can i move the application folder into my home folder so that whenever i move my home folder to a new computer, my applications follow me without having to reinstall them? is this going to cause problems with the system library or something?
Thank you

1. No, except for creating a backup copy of your home folder. Changing the location of the active home folder requires changing the home property for your user account in the NetInfo Manager, which is located in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, or using a symbolic link to tell Mac OS X where to find the home folder. If the NetInfo method is used, the desired path will be along the lines of /Volumes/volumename/Users/username/.
2. Only for applications you drag-copied to the Applications folder. Applications which were installed with Mac OS X or with other installation programs should be left where they are.

What is the best way to Install ilife11 iDVD and iWeb onto an iMac with Maverick

Hi:
I would like to purchase a new iMac. Since this does not come with iDVD or iWeb, I would like to install these two programs from my iLife11 DVD. Will this work?
I assume I would have to do a custom install so I do not overide the newer versions of iphoto and iMovie? Is that correct?
Will I perform the install in typical Mac fashion or do I have to do something special?
Thanks a lot.

There must a better way to do this. The problem is, YOU CAN'T UNCHECK IPHOTO in the installer. You pretty much need all the support files which you can't see in the installer, but you usually don't want iphoto.
1 way to get around this is: Quit the installer if you launched it. Open the install disc > search = (any ilife app) > make visibility option 'invisible'. (if you don't know how, search invisible files in apple's help menu). run through the stuff to find a 'packages' (or some similar name) folder. Inside of that, I install everything except for what I don't want, which for me is the iphoto and imovie stuff.
Still there must a better way, maybe you can create your own installer from the packages w/ package maker or something and burn that image... Worth trying...
Please be assured that you will not get full integration between the current apps and the iLife apps in 10.9.x; Mavericks. The apps don't have all the expected hooks to each other due end of product development. This seems to be the crux of the problems I've had testing to make an idvd dvd.
If you're running 10.9, I recommend moving on to current replacements that will work as expected. That way you won't be wasting time running down project problems.

Is there a way to install it online and enter my license key that I have with the official adobe lightroom install kit?

I purchased Lightroom 5 thru Adobe and got my box with the key, registration info and install disk. I have a new computer that happens to not have a CD nor DVD reader, is there anywhere online I can initially install the program to then enter in my purchased key since I have no way to insert this disk?

Just download and install the trial copy of Lr 5.6, and then use the key you have to activate it.

Best way to install audio, instruments and Logic?

Hi Can someone please tell me which is best?
Is it better for me to install Logic studio 8 onto my system drive and my logic songs, audio & virtual instruments onto the audio drive? Or is it best to install LP8 and audio plug-ins onto my audio drive?
This will be for a Mac Pro not a G5 machine.

I realized I marked this question as answered but out of curiosity (or just plain stupidity) I would like to ask, why must I put the samples and loops on a third drive? Will this really improve performance?
It will not so much improve performance, as improve what your disks can handle. If you are working in a project that uses both Soft Samplers and Audio, one disk has to handle two tasks, reading/streaming samples and reading/streaming/recording audio. It differs per disk what it can handle, but you can see the benefits of having them separate. It also increases the lifespan of both disks.
And also can one use time capsule with an internal drive? (A fourth drive)
AFAIK, Yes.
