Why is it taking so long to transfer data. From one MacBook to another?

I'm transferring data from my old MacBook pro to a new mb pro. 68 hours? Wow why so slow. It is via my wifi but 68 hours. Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

If it's slow WiFi and a lot of data then 68 hours may be right. But you haven't provided any information upon which to base an estimate.
Gigabit Ethernet might reach a practical transfer rate of around 420 MB/s or about the speed of a USB drive. High speed WiFi is 1/3 that fast at best. Slow WiFi is 1/10 that speed at best. So you can make a rough guess of time to transfer an amount of data.

    How can you transfer data from one ipod to another ipod ?

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.

  • Transfer data from one database to another without identities but keep the relation b/w PK and Foreign key

    Hi,
    I need to transfer data from one database to another database (both are identical databases). 
    1. Not transferring identity columns (primary keys). the destination table might have the same key.
    2. keep the PK's and FK's relation b/w parent and child table
    3. I have 4 levels 
    Example: tableA (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3)
    tableB (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
    col2 , col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableA.col1
    tableC (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
    col2, col3) -- col2  has the foreign key relation with tableB.col1
    tableD (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3) -- col2  has the foreign key relation with tableC.col1
    please advise me.
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.

  • What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?

    Hi All,
    I am new to TestStand. Still in the process of learning it.
    What are Parameters? How are they differenet from Variables? Why can't we use variables for passing data from one sequnece to another? What is the advantage of using Parameters instead of Variables?
    Thanks in advance,
    LaVIEWan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Using the Parameters is the correct method to pass data into and out of a sub sequence. You assign your data to be passed into or out of a Sequence when you are in the Edit Sequence Call dialog and in the Sequence Parameter list.

  • Different ways to Transfer data from one database to another database

    Hi all,
    What are the ways to transfer data from one database to another database. With the following options, i Can transfer data as far as i know. Please
    correct me if i am wrong or tell me if there is any other options are available.
    1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.
    2) By using Export and Import utilities.
    I told first one to my interviewer, he told, its strange, by using, COPY command also can we transfer data ? As far as i know, we can transfer data. Am i right ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pal

    transfer data from one database to another database.You mean store the data of one to another?
    1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.every SELECT on a DB-link is transfering data. And you can have all kind of transfers and store on the e.g CTAS of materialized views or.... the SQL*PLUS COPY :
    The COPY command is not being enhanced to handle datatypes or features introduced with, or after Oracle8i. The COPY command is likely to be made obsolete in a future release.
    But there are many others. Check for ORACLE Streams, and the "COPY" your interviewer was mentioning is about the operating file system COPY right? That's transportable tablespaces.

  • Can I use flash drives to transfer data from one MBP to another at a differ

    I've looked and cannot find any info on the use of flash drives. Can I use a flash drive to transfer data from one MBP to another one at a different location? (ie; school Apple and home MBP) Grade tests and papers at home, enter data into home computer, then put it on flash drive and carry flash drive to school, transferring data to school desk top? Are certain flash drives preferrable over others, name brands, size, etc?

    Yep, you sure can. Just about any drive will work as mentioned above. But I'm partial to SanDisk and PNY. I've used both and they work great! Currently I carry both a 2GB SanDisk Micro Cruzer and a retractable 2GB SanDisk Cruzer, both really nice. Replaced my oldie but goodie 256MB PNY drive that I've been using since they first came out.

  • How do i transfer iTunes  from one Macbook to another?

    Hello.
    How can I transfer my itunes account from one Macbook to another.  They are not in the same household for sharing etc.
    Please advise.

    Are you trying to transfer the content or just the user?  Transferring the user is pretty easy, transferring the content is a littel more involved.  To transfer the user alone, just sign into iTunes on the new computer with your same user name.  Easy as that.  To transfer the content, follow these instructions:

  • Is there any mechanism available to transfer data from one AQ to another AQ

    Hi All,
    Is there any way , any api's available or any other real time mechanism available to transfer/move the data from one AQ to another AQ..
    Is this possible..could someone please advise/help us regards this..
    Thanks

    I dont think there is a standard business content datasource to extract data from NAST table. If you are going to use this data in some other LO modules based on the requirement enhance the datasource and append fields and write code to populate the message types.
    If you are going to use this as stand alone data, then you can go ahead and create a generic datasource based on table.

  • Transfer data from one database to another

    Hello,
    We have an application which uses an Oracle 9i server database. On this server we have two databases ( one for test and one for production ).
    From time to time it's required to transfer data from production database to test database.
    The steps followed by the ones which made the transfer are:
    a) drop the user schema ( the one which contains all data)
    b) recreate the user
    c) import the data ( using import utility )
    d) compile invalid object ( what this will mean I don't know)
    It's not possible to delete only the content of the tables and then import data from a dump file? In this way the steps c) and d) will no longer be required. If this is possible can you tell me if is there a command which will delete all data from all table ( almost 2000 tables)?
    Thank you fro your help!

    I think ..following a,b,c,d is the best way to maintain consistency. you are just thinking about the data in the tables, but what about the changes in views,procedures,functions etc....
    compile invalid object ( what this will mean I don't know)create a file xxx.sql with following code and execute it from sql*plus
    set echo off
    set head off
    set feedback off
    set timing off
    spool compile_invalid_obj.sql
    select 'ALTER '||DECODE(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE BODY','PACKAGE',OBJECT_TYPE)||' '||OBJECT_NAME||' '||DECODE(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE','COMPILE PACKAGE;','PACKAGE BODY','COMPILE PACKAGE;','COMPILE;')
    from user_objects
    where status = 'INVALID';
    spool off
    set feedback on
    set echo on
    set timing on
