HT4889 Migrating data from one Mac to another using Migration Assistant

Hi,
I just migrated my data from my old Macbook to my new Macbook Pro. All of the data migrated as my old user, so now i have 2 users on my computer under my name.
I am wondering how I can transfer the data from my old user (on my new computer after migration) to my new user on the new computer. Any thoughts?

Rachelmischel,
I wouldn't use migration assistant. I recently had to move all of my files from a 2008 macbook to a 2013 macbook air. It took me three days to try multiple attempts with migration assistant. What I did was create a drop box account with my macbook (my macbook air already had drop box installed) and then move files from my macbook into my drop box folder. Once that was completed, I would manually copy my files onto my macbook air. The catch is that you need to be sure your computer sharing is enabled and that you make sure your older macintosh will allow permission to your new macintosh to see its drop box files. Hope that helps!

  • Loading data from one table to another using cursor

    Hi,
    I have given the below command to load the data from 1 table to another using cursor.
    declare
    cursor mycursor IS
    SELECT extract_name,from_date,to_date,BETA from temp_table where EXTRACT_NAME='GIFTCARD_DETAILS';
    Begin
    for mycursor_1 IN mycursor loop
    insert into tmp_tab columns(col1,col2,col3,col5) values(mycursor_1.EXTRACT_NAME,mycursor_1.from_date,mycursor_1.to_date,mycursor_1.BETA);
    End loop;
    commit;
    end;
    It is working fine.
    But I want to hard code some of the columns ( like flags ) which are not there in 1st table and load them into 2nd table.
    In db2 we will give commands like
    varSqlStatus=`db2 "declare mycurs cursor for select extract_name,from_date,to_date,BETA,'N','Y' from temp_table"`
    varSqlStatus=`db2 "load from mycurs of cursor modified by identityignore insert into tmp_tab(col1,col2,col3,col5,col6,col7) nonrecoverable"`
    But I want it in oracle 10g, Can any one help me in this.

    Have you tried either of the two options :
    1. Modify the CURSOR itself :
    cursor mycursor IS
    SELECT extract_name,from_date,to_date,BETA,'N','Y' from temp_table where EXTRACT_NAME='GIFTCARD_DETAILS';2. Modify the INSERT statement itself :
    insert into tmp_tab columns(col1,col2,col3,col5,col6,col7) values(mycursor_1.EXTRACT_NAME,mycursor_1.from_date,mycursor_1.to_date,mycursor_1.BETA,'N','Y');

  • How to transfer app data from one mac to another without using syncing of the iphone?

    Right, recently I have tried to change which computer my Iphone syncs with so that my older mac can be sold or disposed of in some profitable form. I have successfully synced all of my music off of one mac onto another via home sharing at which point I connected my phone to my new computer which suggested that the phone needed a software update. Immediately after doing this I realised that my updated Iphone 3GS would no longer sync to my old computer and attempted to sync it just to confirm this- it failed and stated that the iphone could only sync with itunes 10.1 which is a higher spec than that mac can hold. I then feeling doubtful that things would work out tried to carry on as if this problem were absent but I later discovered that I could only transfer the apps that I had synced to my phone to my new mac and all unsynced apps appeared lost because as I stated previously I could not sync with my older mac which contains all of their data. I have consulted the online apple manual for the phone and all it states is the method of transferring purchases in itunes which I tried and is what lead to the copying of my synced apps on to my new mac. What I am asking is is their anyway that I can 'cheat' so to speak at app transfers. I know that somewhere on my old mac the files are stored with the information of the lost apps but I cannot locate them and would not know how to merge them into my newer itunes if I were to copy and paste them to a memory stick (assuming that this is the right method) Other than this is their any other way of downgrading the upgrades of an iphone or somehow tricking itunes into running a higher update than the computer spec? I've tried all I can and this is really annoying- please help!!!!!!

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... I'll have to look on my Mac at home to see exactly where they are, but you should just be able to copy all the apps from your old machine to thumb drive or over the network and put them in iTunes on the new one, then sync. Right click on one of the apps in your iTunes library and choose Show in Finder. That will point you to where they are.
    If you're asking how you can do this and maintain data contained 'within' the apps themselves (high scores, game progress, etc), I don't think there's any way you can do that.

  • What is the quickest way to transfer data from one Mac to another?

    I just bought a Macbook Air, and using the Migration Assitant, it says that it will take 32 hours to transfer data from my old Macbook to the Macbook Air.
    There must be a quicker way! What happens if I abort?

    Unless you can use Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode, the fastest means is to use a Time Machine backup from an external drive, using the quickest port you have compatible with that drive.
    However, I would NEVER, ever use Migration Asssistant for a new Mac from an old one. Setup Assistant is exponentially better, even if you have to start over.

  • How do i transfer all data from one mac to another?

    When I started up my new iMac, there was an option to transfer all my data from my older mac (macbook air) to the new iMac. I skipped this step at first, how can I get back to this step and utilize this feature?   

    Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu and double-click the Migration Assistant. Note that if you move a home folder, it’ll create a new user account for it.

  • Haw much time needed to transfer data from one mac to another throughout FireWire

    It has been 15 hours since I started transferring data from my old mac to my new one and I cant get throughout the process any tip about the estimated time the amount of data in GB is around 200

    That does seem too long for a 200GB transfer, even via FireWire 400. I suspect there's a problem on one of the hard drives that is preventing some data from being read or written successfully. I would cancel the copy process and use Disk Utility to run its Repair Disk routine on each of the drives.

  • Migrating data from one MacBook to another problem

    I tried to transfer my account with all data protected by file vault from MacBook Air with 10.5.8 to a new MacBook Pro using migrating tool. After the transfer was completed i couldn't access my account on my new MacBook. When i try to reset password the system accepts my old master password but wouldn't accept a new one - the window's just shaking and goes back to empty. Anyone else had/has similar issue?

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

  • Is there a way to migrate info from one mac to another and still be able to choose which apps you want taken?

    I have an IMAC and I want to transfer some of my applications to my newly referbished Mac Book Pro.  The problem is that when I use Migration Assistant, I am unable to choose which applications I want to migrate, the Mac Book is unable to migrate the entire library, due to the size of its hard drive.  I hope there is a way do this.  Help, Please!

  • How to migrate data from one database to another for a specific time frame

    Hi
    This is the scenario:
    We have 2 databases:
    PTT : THis has data from march 11 to March 19 that was created when the production was down due to a crash
    PROD : THis was recovered after March 19. Hence has no data created between March 11 and March 19
    How do I transfer this data from March 11 to March 19 from PTT to PROD so that Production can be up to date asap.
    Please let meknow the methods to get this done
    Regards
    Gayathri

    Hi,
    You could use EXP/IMP to move the data from PTT to PROD. But, you should be careful with sequences, modification to the same data.....
    eg Customer Address was updated between Mar 11 - 19, again the same customers was updated after 19 Mar, under this situation if you load the data from PTT you would be wrongly updating the data.....
    You have to study well and apply changes...........
