A question about Migration Assitant

I want to open a new user account for my wife in my iMac and I would like to tranfers her things from an eMac.
Can I do it?
Will this cause any problem in my configuration?
Regards.

You can use Migration Assistant or do it by hand.

Several questions about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture

I'm currently a heavy iPhoto user and am looking into migrating to Aperture. Can anyone give me a sense of what I to expect if/when I make this switch?
Here are several particular things I'm wondering about:
1. iPhoto works great as a computerized photo album for casual browsing. (I can see a page of different events with mouse-over previews, plus I can hide poorer shots so that I can just view the highlights.) Will Aperture be a step back in this department? If so, is it possible to "share" my Aperture photos with iPhoto without keeping two parallel copies of everything?
2. When I import an edited photo from iPhoto to Aperture, will the iPhoto "original" become the Aperture "original" and the iPhoto "modified" become the Aperture "modified? Is the same true if I export an edited photo from Aperture to iPhoto?
3. Does Aperture have an analog for "hidden" photos? I currently mark my best shot from a series by hiding the rest. Will I lose this marking if I migrate to Aperture or is there a way to preserve it?
4. I currently have a number of short video clips (taken with my point-and-shoot's video feature) mixed in with the iPhoto albums. (iPhoto really does let me keep everything organized in one place!) If I understand correctly, Aperture won't let me store these in my Aperture library alongside the still-photos of the same subjects. Is this correct? If so, how have other people handled this?
5. Do EXIF tags get re-read upon import from iPhoto to Aperture? I've got a number of iPhoto files which I've retroactively geotagged with HoudahGeo. Will the tagging be lost (since iPhoto is not currently aware of the geotagging as the EXIF tags have not been re-read)... or will Aperture now recognize this metadata?
6. If worst-comes-to-worst and I give up on Aperture after a few months, how painful will it be to un-migrate back to iPhoto? More importantly, what album metada (e.g. events, albums, ratings, tags, notes, dates, hidden-ness, links between original and modified versions of a photo, iWeb references, etc.) will be lost? In other words, if I were to import everything from iPhoto to Aperture, wipe my iPhoto library clean, and then export everything back from Aperture to iPhoto, what information will have been destroyed?
Thanks in advance for any answers to this long list of questions!

Here are several observations (read: warnings) in case anyone else is considering migrating a significant iPhoto library to Aperture...
A) Pictures marked as "hidden" appear to be silently skipped over (along with video clips, as was expected) when importing an iPhoto library to Aperture. They do not appear in the relevant Aperture project regardless of the filtering options.
B) Both iPhoto originals and modifieds are imported. The former are given the keyword "iPhoto original" and the latter are given the keyword "iPhoto modified." Each pair of photos is put into a single Aperture "stack." Both photos are given the same tags/ratings (so, for example, the un-rotated, uncropped, poorly balanced original will show up alongside the nice clean "modified" if you were to filter for 5-star images), and both files are given identical "version names" (equal to the "name field" in iPhoto). In most cases the original -- not the modified version -- was set as the stack's "pick" and displayed when the stack was collapsed. *Significantly, I could find no way of creating a view in Aperture that showed one copy of each picture, with the "iphoto modified" version displayed for photos that had been modified in iPhoto and the original version displayed for photos that had never been modified in iPhoto!* (This is, of course, the way they are shown in iPhoto.)
C) My understanding of "stacks" is that they are designed to help organize multiple "tries" at the same shot (e.g., I want to make sure that nobody's eyes are closed in the group photo, so I press the shutter six times in quick succession -- I'm going to pick a "best" one will be mostly interested in that shot from then on). This is a fantastic idea! However things get confusing if you are already using stacks to track original and modified versions (as described above)... particularly if your stack should contain six pictures plus original versions of each. Plus, as I mentioned, the "original" version is usually the default "pick" in each stack.
D) After import, "iPhoto original" versions of portrait photos appear un-rotated. Normally, my cameras (including a Nikon D80, an iPhone, and others) mark photos' orientations and they are automatically displayed in the correct orientation. Aperture appears to consider this auto-rotation an iPhoto edit and helpfully displays the "iPhoto original" always in landscape.
E) Aperture may incorrectly import events whose names contain a "/" or a ".", so if your event names contain dates, rewrite them with "-"s before importing to Aperture.
F) Aperture does have a rough mouse-over-the-icon-to-flip-through view, similar to the "events" pane in iPhoto... although you will lose your choice of which photo serves as the default icon for each event when you import your library from iPhoto, and you cannot "hide" photos from appearing in the flip-through as you can with iPhoto.
G) Perhaps it's my inexperience with the program, but I could find no way to sort the project list by date (vs. alphabetically), nor could I find any way to make a correction to a single photo's date/time.
As a bottom line, remember that Aperture is definitely not "iPhoto Plus." It lacks a number of iPhoto's features, but in exchange gives you a number of really slick tools aimed at streamlining a digital photography workflow.
I'd also encourage people to think very carefully before moving a large, well-organized iPhoto library to Aperture. You may lose a fair amount of information, and the result will take a lot of work to "make pretty" again. It does look like a nice program, though. Are you ready to relegate all of your existing pictures to an iPhoto "pre-history" and start over with a blank -- but much fancier -- slate in Aperture?

Questions about Migration Assistant

I'm getting ready to move the contents of my G4 iBook to a new Intel-powered MacBook. I assume Apple's Migration Assistant can handle a lion's share of that job but I have a question...can I change the UserName (and ShortName) on the new computer and still migrate everything over with the Apple utility? For example, a particular concern is how to handle the information contained in Keychain. When that file gets moved over, how do I make it the default Keychain and set it to unlock with the new computer's password?
And any other issues I should be aware of when moving from a G4 machine?

Actually you cannot migrate a user folder that has the same name as one already created. However, because you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac there are some cautions of which you need be aware:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
Be careful about what you migrate. Migrating an entire user folder is not a good idea when moving from PPC to Intel. Stick to your movable folders as described above.
PPC applications may not work after migration. If they don't then simply reinstall them.

Question about migrating data from mac pro to new macbook

Hello all,
I ordered a new macbook today and i'm very excited. It will be the first time i've had two apple machines simultaneously. My question is in regards to getting my new macbook all stocked up with the files and apps currently residing on my mac pro.
1. I don't know if by using migration assistant if the data is removed from the old machine and added to the new. I don't want that. I want everything currently on my mac pro to remain, unchanged.
2. I'd normally use target disk mode, but no firewire on the macbook, so, no dice there.
3. My startup disk and apps and such reside on one HDD in my mac pro, while my home folder, or user files, or whatever, reside on a separate HDD. will this cause a problem.
Your input is much appreciated.

It can be done with USB, but it is slower and less reliable.
Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned.
The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
Firewire allows two operating modes. One is asynchronous, like USB which suffers from latency, bus contention and collisions.
The other is isochronous mode, and it lets a device carve out a certain dedicated amount of bandwidth that other devices can't touch. It gets a certain number of time slices each second all its own. The advantages for audio/video should be obvious: that stream of data can just keep on flowing, and as long as there isn't more bandwidth demand than the wire can handle, nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches.

Questions about migrating Exchange 2010 to 2013

We currently have two Exchange 2010 servers with roles separated. One local mailbox server without CAS in our building and a CAS with no mailboxes in a remote datacenter.
We plan to migrate to 2013 with two new servers hosting all roles on each and then shut down the 2010 servers. There will be one local and one in a datacenter for Exchange 2013 so that either server could be individually restarted without internal LAN users
losing email access. (We do not want to open network access from the Internet to the onsite CAS). Is it practical to set it up this way?
How do we get the existing certificates (mail, autodiscover, and the local host name etc.) moved from the 2010 to the 2013 to the new servers when I assume they both must be running side by side for at least a short time while mailboxes are moved form 2010
to 2013? Will we need to buy new SSL certificates since the local host machine names for the Exchange server 2013 servers will be new and there will be more than one CAS?

Most of the CAs allow issuing duplicate certificate (as if you are requesting for a new cert) for the servers running same application. If your CA doesn't provide duplicates you can export the certificate and import to Exchange2013. http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/06/29/import-cert-e2013/
In certificate you dont need your internal FQDN. Especially in future you wont be able to add your internal FQDN in your certificate as most of the CAs wont allow you to add internal FQDN.
When you migrate to exchange 2013 you just need to configure the external URLs of Ex2010 in Ex2013 for both (i.e. same URLs for internal and external URLs) and point your common name and autodiscover to Exc2013 as Ex2013 will proxy the requests to your legacy
Ex2010 server. i.e. Your client interface will be Ex2013.
Please check this it will help you configure Split DNS and configure your URLs

Configure split DNS to resolve external name from internal network.
Keep both Ex2010 CAS and Ex2013 CAS servers till all get logged in atleast once to connect to Ex2013 mailbox automatically.
As your DAG stretched across the data centers make sure
your DAG is in DAC mode.

Do you have a load balancer in place?
Regarding internet facing it depends. You can configure CAS2013 server in DMZ if you wish to.

Questions about migrating to a Mac Pro from an old MacBook Pro

My present setup is a 2006 MacBook Pro with 3 external drives. One external eSATA RAID1 for music, another eSATA RAID1 for photos and video/movies, and the 3rd (FireWire) is for Time Machine. The internal 320 GB boot drive has 2 Boot Camp partitions for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.
Here's the new setup (as purchased):
• Mid-2010 ( MacPro5,1 ) Mac Pro 6-core 3.33 GHz
• 8 GB RAM (4x2 GB)
• 8 TB HD (4x2 GB Seagates)
• Apple RAID card
Mulling this migration over, these are the things I'm wondering about:
• I'll probably keep the 4x2 GB internals as a group, either going with two 2x2TB RAID1 volumes or perhaps considering a single 4x2TB RAID10 arrangement. The latter makes me a little nervous‡.
(‡ +Why? Not a fan of striping in general - plus, with my present setup, a problem with one of my Venus eSATA RAID enclosures was easily testable by removing the disks from the other "good" enclosure and substituting the other "bad" enclosure's disks to test inside a "good" enclosure - i.e. it was nice to have redundancy+ ).
Q. *Any thoughts either way on going with 2xRAID1 vs. 1xRAID10?*
Q. *Any Apple RAID card horror stories?*
• Therefore, I'm thinking of adding a cradle and disk(s) to the ODD_SATA ports. Probably a 256 GB SSD at a minimum for the boot drive.
Q. *Any issues booting OS X from an ODD_SATA-connected SSD?*
Q. *I understand you can't use Boot Camp on Apple RAID card-connected drives. True?*
Q. *I also seem to be reading that you can't boot Windows in any guise from an ODD_SATA-connected drive (SSD or HDD). True as well?*
Am I screwed? Forced to keep the MacBook Pro around for Boot Camp, no way to run it on the Mac Pro with this configuration?
• Memory. I understand these boxes run their memory with Triple Channel.
Q. *It sounds like at the very least I should rip out the 4th 2 GB DIMM. Probably replace all 4 with 3x4 GB or 3x8 GB (ECC) DIMMs, right?*
Yikes. Long post. Sorry. That's enough for now, I think.

now-disconnected iPass port
I don't think the 2010 model you ordered HAS an iPass port. The new Apple RAID card does not use one.
Follow a complicated procedure for trying to get the Mac to run all the SATA ports as AHCI so that Windows would 'see' all 6 of the SATA ports instead of what I presumed to be the current situation,
I don't think that applies to 2009 and later models either. The six SATA port are all listed in my Mac PRO as AHCI and all should be equivalent:
Serial-ATA Device Tree
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. WDC WD360GD-00FLA2
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. Kinston SSDNOW 30GB

You sure are digging up some stale information in your research

Few Questions About Migrating Site & Editing Many Pages at Once

OK. First things first. My manager doesn't want me listing
our company name in this post since we are currently trying to get
out of our hosting contract and she doesn't want to jeapordize
anything in case someone stumbled across the post by a search or
anything. FYI: I have Dreamweaver CS3.
So here's the deal. My company would like to move our site
away from this proprietary WYSIWYG online editor we have. The
current setup locks us into to this silly online editor for our
site and doesn't allow access to our files on their server. This
means that if I want to simply change the file name of a picture on
our site, I have to log in to their editor and go through about ten
stupid steps. The problem is, the site is dynamically generated.
Every page on the site looks something like this at the end:
default.aspx?pageid=9. Those links are permanently attached to
specific pages and the content on the individual pages rarely
changes. I tried using some offline downloaders to grab every page
of our site in case we move it elsewhere. When these pages are
downloaded, though, the file names change and it breaks all of the
links.
If I go into the code and change every individual link to
other pages and style sheets I can get it to look good.
So my first question is: is there a way to easily allow
Dreamweaver to import a couple hundred dynamically generated pages
and make them into static pages so that they just look like
"xyz.com/products.html"? Fortunately, our site is not extremely
large (maybe 250+ pages) so in an absolute worst case scenario I
could post a lot of the pages by hand.
My second question regards changing specific items across many
pages. Our current site contains the ability to place little
widgets into pages. This means that if we want a navigation bar on
a hundred different pages, we just edit the one entry for the
widget and every page changes. I'm sure this is possible in DW, but
I spent an hour trying to search online yesterday trying to find
info and didn't answer my question. Is this what templates are for?
I saw people mentioning Find All, but this didn't seem like a
perfect solution. I apologize if this is a very stupid question. No
one needs to take the time to explain the exact process to me, but
if someone could just tell me the name of the functionality and if
they know a specific resource to learn more about it, that would be
wonderful.
Whatever this functionality is, would I have to start over from
scratch with the pages? Or could I implement it with the current
site that's already put together? I'd be happy to convert the
site to static HTML if there's an easy way to change multiple pages
at once other than Find All and Replace.
Thank you so, so much for any help. I appreciate it. I just
want to make sure these things are possible before we start the
ball rolling down that path.

I think I could answer your questions with just one answer so
here it goes.
What you need to do when making this type of mass move from
an online editor to DW would be to first download a copy of
everything you have just so you have a backup in case any mistakes
are made.
Next with the downloading of the files. You will need to log
in via FTP in Dreamweaver or via your file manager on the control
panel of your website. If you are unsure of where this is or how to
log in via FTP, you may need to contact your host for the login
information. Even though the files appear to be dynamic I do
believe that most editors would just store the pages separately and
just uses includes to make that work. However, if this is not how
it appears, post back with the name of the editor that you were
using.
Next, take one of the files you have. Based on the
description you are giving me it sounds as if they all look the
same just with different content (nav bar aside). If this is the
case you can create a template file in Dreamweaver. Within that
template you should place the content that is the same for all of
your pages. Then make one editable region for your content to go
into. These links can be found from the main toolbar for creating
editable regions and other template functions (which I believe
includes the navbar).
Also one thing to note with templates is that they will
automatically fix links on the pages when you save the template to
include new files via links. So you don't have to worry about
updating all of the pages all of the time. The only thing you would
need to update the individual pages for would be for the content on
those pages.
Hopefully this will get you started in the right direction.
But as I said in the beginning if you have trouble getting the
files off of the site post a bit more information about what you
have and hopefully someone here will be able to point you in the
right direction.

A question about migration assistant

Hello,
I have a start up hard drive going bad, and I'd like to migrate all of my apps, prefs and user data to another internal drive.
Can I use Migration assistant to do this? Do I have to start up from the drive I'm migrating to? The newer drive already has content on it; a system, user and pics, etc. I don't care if the system and it's apps are replaced, but the work I have on there I'd rather not lose.
Am I going about this the right way, by using MA or do I need to try something else?
I'm running 10.6.8 on an Intel 2.66
Thanks for any suggestions.
-Vincent

Yotu have to boot the Mac from the drive you want to migrate data to. The go to Migration Assistant in the Appls folder and open it.

Questions about migrating Configurator 4 PS panel to Extension Builder 3.

Hello,
I am in the process of creating a set of Photoshop tools that I'm hoping to release on Adobe Exchange in the very near future. The tools are a set of javascript files that are executed through a simple panel interface consisting of 4 buttons. There is also a logo at the top of the panel that links to a tutorial section on my website (kind of like the Adobe Paper Texture Pro panel if you're familiar with it).
I initially created the panel using Configurator 4 (RIP). Unfortunately, I only recently found out about Adobe's plans to remove Flash based Extension Panel functionality. I've switched over to Extension Builder 3, so I can submit my Extension to Adobe for approval as soon as possible. The main issue is that I am not a programmer. I'm learning, and I'm actually quite pleased with the results so far, but there have been plenty of headaches along the way. As for the migration to Extension Builder 3, I've been able to work around or find solutions to most of the issues, but there are still a few that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on:
How do you create a 'fly-out' menu for a panel? I wasn't sure how to do this in Configurator 4 either, but at least they provided an 'About' menu option above the standard 'Close' and 'Close Tab' menu options.
This is minor, but when dragging the panel around, I noticed that the contents of the panel disappear and you only see the gray background color. The panel from Configurator didn't do this (you could see the contents at all time). Is there a way around this?
As mentioned above, I have a logo that used to link to the tutorial for the tool on my website. I searched around, and it seems like something that is simply not possible to do anymore. This is unfortunate, because I wanted to provide users with easy access to the tutorial page. Is it possible to open a new panel from another panel? That way, I could at least have the tutorial open as a new panel within Photoshop. (I just noticed a potential answer to this in another thread - though it may be slightly over my head)
I took a look at the HTML5, ADOBE authored Adobe Layer Renamer, but that just makes me more nervous because it has the dragging problem AND no additional fly-out menus. Ideally, I'd prefer it if users didn't have to open Adobe Exchange just to see instructions or information about my Extension.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I appreciate any assistance with these issues!
Lee

Hello Lee,
My name is Jeff.   I am similar to your situation where I am not really much of a programmer, but using scripts exported to .jsx files from actions in PS, and I was using Configurator to build a really massive (hundreds of buttons/scripts accordians etc) panel in 3.0, released it publicly, but retracted because of certain issues and then finally realizing I need to migrate it all over to HTML5 and Extension Builder 3.
I am also at about the same point as you... although I've been trying out the jquery frameworks to build my tabs and other GUI elements... figured out last week how to use custom images for the buttons etc.
I don't know if I am going to need a panel-flyout menu option but I am trying to figure out how to put in regular text-box or pull-down menus... in configurator I found a neat trick to drag and drop accordian-containers into each other... then it acts like a pull-down menu when you have buttons in there.     The problem is html5 and extensionbuilder 3 do not work like this... I can't figure out how to make nested tabs yet or have a GUI pull-down or text-box actually send information to my .jsx files and change them.
Let's keep this forum active and help each other, we all have great ideas to contribute to the extensability of these long-cherished tools and it should not be hard... or else we're all just going to go back to using actions, lol.      For now, I have avoided some issues in configurator, still exporting my panels but with the upcoming release of non-flash-support in PS then people won't be able to use them unless they had the previous PS installed already.      However, you can create your own installers to place the extensions into the right folders, you don't need the .ZXP or exchange to publish or sell your extensions, it's only for a pathway that helps us all to legitamize our projects and become producers through the exchange portal or add-ons or whatever it ends up being.   But personally I am using a freeware program that makes simple installers and having it place the folders into the extension panels folders... then when PS opens there is the extension -- that is all that Extension manager is doing... taking your ZIP (ZXP) and unzipping it to the right folders.
What upsets me is how easy they made it with configurator for me to make a very advanced panel... then pulled the rug out and now it is going to take a lot of work and learning for me to understand how to build the same GUI panels you see attached but in HTML 5.... I will try to share and help out especially with people like us where we have built something in configurator and now we need to port/migrate it to html5/extension builder 3.     Easier said than done. :/

Question about migrating my stuff from iMac to a new one

Hi I must be on my fourth consecutive iMac now, and it is late 2007 model I think. I am considering about getting a new one soon. It is very tempting to use Migration Assistant to haul everything to the new one from the old one but:
After 4 previous migrations, will I have a slower system than a clean, new one with just the files, not migrated settings and other stuff?
Are there some negative effects of migrating vs installing everything from scratch?
Thanks for any input!
BR

When using Migration Assistant in my opinion it's best to connect to either a Time Machine Backup via USB or Firewire to the new machine. DO NOT use Wi-Fi to migrate. Also remember if you should prepare the old machine to ensure all of it's apps are up-to-date and it is running well otherwise.
I would also recommend using Setup Assistant to migrate rather than Migration Assistant. Both are almost the same,however SA is what starts up when you turn on any new Mac for the first time. It will come to a point where it asks if you are migrating from an older Mac. Select yes, select your TM backup EHD and connect it (USB or Firewire remember??) to the new machine and select the options and let it do the migration. This method normally results in a smooth migration and will not create a new user account like Migration Assistant will.

Question about migrating dreamweaver to new computer

I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to dreamweaver and I recently had to go out and get a new computer after cracking the screen of my old laptop. Now I need to migrate dreamweaver onto my new system but also want to retain the directory structure of a few websites I work on... is there a way to move everything from one computer to another without affecting my site structure etc?

Do you have any ability to fire up DW on the old system? If so, then do it. Once started you should do these things:
1. EXPORT all site definitions from DW's Site manager. Save them to a thumb drive or a CD or a shared network drive so you can get at them on the new computer.
2. If you have any custom Snippets, Server Behaviors, or any other custom configurations, put your user configuration folder on that same medium so you can get at it.
3. Then you should copy ALL the root folders of all the websites you have on the laptop to your portable medium.
4. Under HELP, De-activate the laptop's DW, and exit.
On the new computer, install DW, provide the S/N, IMPORT the site definitions, and start DW. Then exit DW, copy the configuration folders you saved to the new Configuration folder in the user section, copy the root folders of the websites to the same location on the new computer, and you're ready to roll....
If you cannot start the old computer, then you'll have to just install DW, recreate the site definitions, connect to each site and download the files. You will need to contact Adobe and restore one activation since you can't de-activate the copy of DW on the laptop.
Good luck!

Question about migration from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2

Hi,
I've 10g 10.1.0.5 installed (by installing some patches).
Now I need 10.2.
Can I reach this with pathches (and which one(s)), or do I have to install from scratch an 10.2 ?
Any reaction will be appreciated.
Leo

Can I reach this with patches No, you have to install the base release of 10.2 and then migrate.

Question about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture 3

I have been using the free trial of Aperture 3 after importing my iPhoto library with the option chosen of storing the files in their original location. I am now considering purchasing the program. My question is: Should I just carry on, or would it be better (or worse) to import the files into Aperture, placing them in a new Aperture library, then deleting my iPhoto library? I have not done any significant work in the trial so this is the time do redo it if it is preferable. If this question does not make sense then I would appreciate knowing that too. Many thanks!

Andrew
One of the ways that Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto is in how it relates to the Master files.
From your post I understand that you imported to Aperture leaving the Originals in iPhoto, right?
There is no need to now move the original files into Aperture. You can leave them where they are, move them elsewhere or bring them over to Aperture. Whichever decision you make Aperture can work with and help you do do it.
Check out 'Relocate Masters' in the Aperture Help for more.

Question About Migrating to Office 365

After a cutover migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365, what is involved in cancelling the migration and rolling back to the on-premises Exchange 2010?

Ed is correct, however if you have not already migrated to O365 you might want to test a single mailbox migrating and rolling back as;
I ran across this post the other day
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/20c46273-e95d-4836-b2a7-903f649282a6/mailbox-default-settings-restore-possible-?forum=exchange2010
Of course this could just be a strange anomaly that you will not experience, however its definitely something to watch/tests and of course monitor the link above to see if a resolution is found.
If you experience the same thing you may want to open a case with MS to resolve
Search, Recover, & Extract Mailboxes, Folders, & Email Items from Offline Exchange Mailbox and Public Folder EDB's and Live Exchange Servers or Import/Migrate direct from Offline EDB to Any Production Exchange Server, even cross version i.e. 2003 -->
2007 --> 2010 --> 2013 with Lucid8's

Question about migration

Yes, i am currently using a 667 mhz G4. I am wanting to clean off all apps & flies that I don't need before migrating to my MBP when it arrives Monday. I was noticing on my HD that there is still an Applications (OS9) folder & a System Folder for OS9. Can that be deleted without messing up my current G4? Is it something I will need on my MPB?

If you are going to continue to use your G4 then don't delete the OS 9 stuff unless you don't have any use for it. But, no, you won't mess anything up if you delete from the G4, you just won't have the ability to launch Classic apps anymore (unless you reinstall).
However, the MBP can't launch Classic apps, so there is no need to install on it on that machine.
Personally, I'm not migrating anything from my PPC machines. All software is going to get a clean install. This might take a bit longer to do, but from what I've read it makes the MBP even quicker and more responsive.
