How to transfer Windows 3 data from a G3 with a bad floppy drive

My first Mac was a PowerMac G3 beige tower (233 Ghz) in 1998. At that time I installed VirtualPC running Windows 3.0 to use a genealogy program that didn't run on a Mac and input all my family data. I have a 5 inch floppy disk with the data but when I tried to use it to transfer to a newer computer, I got a message that one of the files (of course it had to be the biggest!) was corrupted. Now the floppy disc drivenon the G3 has failed. I bought a "new" drive off the Internetn but it doesn't work either. Windows 3.0 doesn't recognize USB, so I can't use my external floppy drive. Is there any way I can transfer the data via a direct connection to another Mac? I have a eMac (educational version of the original iMac, vintage 2002) that still works, also a PowerPC iMac and an Intel iMac. I will be extremely grateful to anyone who can keep me from having to input all that family info again!

"I have a 5 inch floppy disk with the data but when I tried to use it to transfer to a newer computer..."
Do you mean a 3.5" floppy disk, used with the G3's internal FDD? Unfortunately, long-term data storage on a floppy disk is risky, as degradation of the magnetic oxide on the disk's surface can contribute to file corruption. The beige G3s had a "SuperDrive" FDD, which unlike a standard PC floppy disk drive, combined data and power on the same ribbon cable connection and didn't use separate cabling for each. Is the "new" floppy drive that you bought designed for use in a beige G3?
"Is there any way I can transfer the data via a direct connection to another Mac?"
Are these same files stored on the hard drive in the beige G3, eliminating the need to read the floppy disk or are they solely contained on the floppy disk? If the latter is the case, you still need a working FDD to read the disk, even with a networked connection between the beige G3 and the eMac or PowerPC iMac. If you can transfer the files to a newer Mac, were you planning to install VirtualPC on the newer Mac, to run the Windows 3.0-based program and read them?

how to transfer service ticket data from ECC6.0 to CRM 7.0 using LSMW?
Plz suggest me any BAPI or IDOC for that ..
thanks in Advance .

You have to convert your long string to a table of shorter strings.
There may be other ways, but one possibility is to use a loop to process you string.
while (there is something left)
put the next e.g. 1024 characters in a new row of your table
endwhile
If you need to reconstruct your string from the table, don't use simple concatenation since it will remove blanks at the end of lines. Believe me (from experience) sooner or later this will happen.
Instead you need to either set the subsections of your long string, or insert from the end of your table and keep shifting the contents (probably less efficient) right

How to transfer Sales order data from R/3 to APO!!

Hi Techies,
I am in the process of moving some sales order data for a particular mat/loc combination in cfm1 after creating a integration model iam even activating even in R/3 but after doing this iam not able to view those sales orders in RRP3 t-code IN APO side.
Kindly let me know what is the procedure to transfer transactional data from R/3 to APO and to do enhancement in CIF which carries Transactional data .
Problem solving answers would be rewarded duly !!.
+PKP.

Hi PKP,
The field SPEC_STOCK has the description "Key for Special Stock Section" and is linked to schedule line of the PO. This seems to be something linked to special stock, but I am not very sure about the relevance of this field.
I do not see any related field when I check the order in RRP3 or in RRP2. In standard SAP, you would only be able to use the fields that are already visible in APO. Otherwise you need to add the field to the standard SAP t-code display (read the value from SOMEWHERE and then display it in RRP3. This is possible using Badi /SAPAPO/RRP_IO_COL). Then only you can see the values which you have populated.
If this field SPEC_STOCK already has some functionality (which it should have, though I am not sure what it is), you might not be able to use it for other purposes (since system does some validations for certain fields).
You are updating the value for this field in IT_OUTPUT internal table, you also need to add an X in the corresponding field in the internal table IT_OUTPUTX.
You could try putting this X, so that your changes are considered in CIF, but I am not sure what the impact may be, and you could get a dump also possibly. Even otherwise, since this field doesn't seem to be visible against a PO in APO, I am not sure if this would be helpful for you.
As far as I could see, I did not find any standard field which could be helpful for you.
May be if you open a fresh thread and ask for advice on how to send any custom comments for PO to APO, someone could provide some inputs.
Thanks - Pawan

How can I restore my data from a backup with different Phone name?

I recently had to restore my iphone which erased all the data. I have a backup of that data in iTunes and I want to restore it to the phone. However when I connected the phone to iTunes the first time after resetting everything, I accidently chose to create a new phone instead of restore settings and data from the backup.
My question is, how can I restore the iPhone from this previous backup? My iPhone is currently called "untitled playlist" and the backup is called "JC's iPhone".
Thanks,
Jeremy
ps. Sorry for posting twice. Nobody responded the first time, probably because I had a poor subject.

Jeremy,
If you restore again, you will be prompted to choose a backup or setup as a new phone again. Then you can just choose your old backup.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

I can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive, i can not transfer files and data from macbook pro to my external hard drive , so what should i do ?

i have an external hard disk but whenever i tried to transfer any file or data from macbook to this ext.disk its failed before that i used to have another hard drive with same problem ,then i thought may be this hard drive is not support mac then i bought a new one which supports mac but still i have same problem what should i do ?

Ok.
Go into Disk Utility, and make sure you select your external hard drive.
There should be 4 tabs, one being erase. I have taken a screenshot to show you what it should be set to (obviously name it what you like), and set the format to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) as per the example below & after double checking your in the right drive, you can hit erase. And you're done! *hopefully*

How to transfer all the data from Logic pro to other drive (faster)?

Hi
I am trying to upgrade the performance of my Mac and decided to upgrade the RAM and to use a dedicated HardDrive for Logic Pro using firewire (i have a mac mini server...). Think the Processor e fast enough...
How can i transfer all the information for that drive?
Can i move the media library from the OS drive to the new drive? or has it to stay were initially instaled?
I moved to Mac because my Windows "Super 16GB QuadCore PC" was giviing me trouble...in relation to connections, critical errors...
I am a novice on the Mac "ways"...
Can someone give me directions?

Logic doesn't store the majority of its data in designated library places, so you can put your session files and audio files wherever you want. If you move the location of something, say an audio file, and logic doesn't know where to find that asset, then it'll present you with a dialog box which asks you if you can tell it where you moved it to, or if you'd like it to go off and search for files of that name for you. They're all just files on a hard disk. There's only a few things which have to be stored in particular places, such as preferences or sampler instruments. Anything that isn't part of the program, you can store it wherever you want. In a session you can have for example all the live parts on one hard disk, and then all your samples on another hard disk. It's all arbitrary and can be defined by you.
So yes, you can generally keep your media library wherever you want (as far as Logic is concerned).

Not sure how to transfer/save ALL data from old SIM card to new iPhone

1) How can I save/keep/transfer all Messages and Notes when I put my SIM card into a new iPhone?
    I have done that but only some of the Messages and Notes are there on new phone.
2) Also/or: are all Messages and Notes saved on my Mac whenever I Sync / Update it?
     And if so, WHERE on my computer do I find them?
* The Apple site says to be sure to Sync phone "to keep all data" (of course) but I want to make sure that includes        ALL Notes and Messages and know where to find them on my computer to truly save and access them.
* I have a 4S and the newer 4S with Siri. I am going to give the 4S to a daughter and keep the 4S with Siri.
3) Will the Genius Bar people help me with this if I can't myself, or do I need to go to AT&T (gag)?
I need simplest of explanations and steps to follow, please!
Many thank yous,
Zoesma

Okay -- thanks to you, too! I've only been using an iPHone since the 3G and had no idea. Learn something new every day. I totally thought it stored the person's personal data so it could go from phone to phone. Good to know--thanks!
So it must store phone basic stuff, I guess. I'll have to look into that.
I gave you a link that explains how to get info from one iphone to another.

How to transfer my backed data from my external hard drive to new user

I have backed up my profile using Time Machine onto an external hard drive. I have opened a new user name on the same iMac but have not been able to transfer my backed up profile to this new user name. I see that my Launchpad apps are there but cannot see my files. I thought that once I used Migration Assistant to do this, my iMac would look exactly the same as the original profile and have my files visible etc. My files are not here. What am I doing wrong? Have I missed out a step? Thank you!

If you deleted the old user, try to inherit the backup.
Inherit a Backup
Inherit a Backup (2)
If the old user is still there, log in as the older user and copy the file to the new user's Public/Dropbox. Do this at the hard drive level/Users so you can see both users.

How do I copy the data from a time capsual to a hard drive?

Hi I need to give someone a copy of my time capsual, can any one tell me how to do that without removing all the information from my time capsual....?

It is an unusual request.
What kind of material is on the TC? Do you mean files or do you mean TM backups?
You can do a direct archive of the TC to a USB drive so the two are exact image of each other.
But you cannot do it from v6 utility because Apple decided you didn't need that option any more.
So you need to install 5.6 utility into Mountain Lion. See below for one method.
If you want to move a backup from network drive to external drive that is a lot different to the above.
See Q18 in Pondini.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

How can I transfer all my data from my Pearl to my new Curve 8320?

Help! I have a Mac and have downloaded every bit of software/manual/information/help that I can find and still can't figure out how to transfer all my data from my dying Pearl 8100 to my new Curve 8320. Any suggestions?

Hi Vanessa,
There are two ways to solve your problem.
1) Configure the birthday and anniversary events you have created for last year so that they repeat every year on the same date.
2) Enter the birthdays in your Address Book for the corresponding contacts — create the contacts if you don't have them in your Address Book yet — and then tell iCal to display the birthday calendar.
Hope this helps

ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-files/how-can-i-forma t-external-drive-in-exfat-not-in/0f6bf19a-19d6-4470-ae05-53ddf26bb476?msgId=1860 eae3-3488-4eea-8326-f87b89d9851b
once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

How to Transfer apple mail data to windows outlook 2013

Looking for a solution that will help me transfer all my data, from emails to address book and contacts from apple mail to outlook 2013 in windows system.
I have gone through Imap way of email, but there are some few thousand emails stored as archive and are not available on server. And via Imap I cannot export my contacts and address book. So how can I transfer all the data from mac to windows outlook 2013.
Please help.

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:-
You can find various solutions on having a google search for your problem.
Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows
Hope this will help.
