Any way to move old prefs etc. back over after clean install?

So I have a few partitions and a few options here. I'm currently running 10.5.1 off of my internal HD and it seems fast and stable so far. I have another partition with my Tiger system cloned and yet another partition I could use. So I could do another Leopard install onto the Tiger partition, do an archive and install, so that I get back all my prefs and bookmarks etc., not have to reinstall certain apps. But can I manually copy prefs, mail etc. over from my Tiger partition or is that a mistake?

Looks like maybe Migration Assistant may be what I need. Will it copy over my mail, bookmarks and prefs from my Tiger partition? What essentially would be the difference between having done an archive and install over my Tiger system and doing a clean install and using Migration Assistant to move stuff over? Will it essentially give me the same results?

My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

My home movie DVD folders all have red circle with white dash and won't allow the files to be read. Is there any way around this so I can back up the DVD's on a external HD?

Drag the folders to the external drive, and if prompted, click Authenticate. You'll probably be asked for an administrator password.

Somehow or another my iPod deleted my videos and they don't show up in my library. Any way for me to get them back?

So, like I said, my iPod classic deleted my videos and now they aren't in my library. Is there any way for me to get them back or do I just count it as a total loss and move on?

If these videos are no longer in iTunes or on your iPod, you can redownload them if they are originally from the iTunes Store via iCloud. See this article for more information.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, you will have to re-import/re-rip these videos from their original source.

Any way to move the slide workspace?

I'd like to be able to create action moves that start from outside the top and the left edges of a slide.
As long as the slide workspace is anchored on the top and left sides, it's close to impossible to accurately start a move from the top or the left.
Is there any way to move the slide workspace into the center of its work window, like in PowerPoint?
Thanks,
Eric

I do about the same things than you do: "primarily for proposal presentations, training, and speaker support for business meetings." What makes my presentations amazing: a very helpful characteristic of Keynote is the ability to copy and paste from Photoshop or Illustrator vector logos or other pieces of artwork, as well as importing PSDs with transparency and play with them in slides. Along with the new features in Keynote 4 (Smart Builds, Actions, etc.), I can now make my presentations move a lot more and with less work. I don't say my presentations are traditional: they have to be impressive enough to catch potential clients for my job. So sometimes I have to make some sort of movies out of Keynote, that last about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Some kind of stuff that would take days with Flash, but only a few hours with Keynote, and with the possibility to change many aspects of it in a minute, as opposed to Flash, again.
I do not experiment a lot with PowerPoint, because as far as I used to know, many of the features I mentioned above aren't part of PowerPoint. PowerPoint doesn't give enough control about animation duration. The choices are like "Very long, long, medium, fast, very fast". With Keynote, YOU set the timer. You want the animation to take 0.7 sec., it will! My little movies I was writing you about are timed as sharp as that, because I put music on them as well. Everything has to go one at the right time.
You probably think I should go for a much better 2D or 3D animation software than Keynote, but what is also interesting with Keynote is ease of use. I don't have to be a professional in animation to go the distance required. For now... I'm just getting started, though.

On my iPhone 4s, I sent a picture via email and asked to size it down. However, it seems now that the pic stored on my iphone is now forever the smaller size which is not suitable for printing. Is there any way to get the larger size back?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

My laptop was stolen and i have a new one, is there any way to move all the picture folders to the new computer and not lose them? They stole my external harddrive too so unfortunately if i lose these, i have no way to get them back?

What randers4 said. HOWEVER, if the photos were taken with a higher resolution camera than the iPhone what you recover will not be as high a resolution as the originals.

Any way to see old locks information?

Hi Friends,
OS : Linux RHEL 5
DB : 10.2.0.4
I want to know is there any way to see old locks information from any of the views?
Example, i want to see 3 days back information like "what locks held on what tables?"
Thanks in advance....
Sorry if i asked a doc question. i didn't gone through much about locks before...but will do now

AFAIK, there is no permanent repository/view available which would keep the historical info.So this means, if the lock issue is resolved, you wont see its information from any view at least. May be using the old snapshots may show some waits and things like that but no view would show you. But if the lock is still there and is actively being held by someone than it can be seen from various views.
HTH

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

I restored my ipod 4th generation but i lost all of my photos. I used iCloud but i have never synced with itunes. Is there any way I can get my pictures back?

On the settings I went to iCloud then went to storage and backup and it saus total storage 5.0 gb and avaible storage is 2.7 gb but all of my photos arent there. Then when I click manage storage it says camera roll 2.0 gb is there any way i can get my photos back? please help

If you use the same iCloud ID and before you will get your contact, calendar and notes and other iCloud things back. If your previously has PhotoStream one you will also get back the last 30 days of photos.
It appears you do not use the same iCloud ID.
What do you see for Contacts, Calendar and Notes when you go to icloud.com and sing in with the same ID. You need a computer browser.

I have updated my mac from snow leopard to mountain lion 3 days back. I had some important data in my library folder and it got overwritten. Is there any way i can get the data back from my snow leopard library folder?

I tried mackeeper to recover files but it could not. Any other way any one has tried to recover a system library folder after OS upgrade?

No, it doesn't store a clone. You would have needed to make one with either SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner.
If the files were in your ~/Library folder then they may still be there. As I said, you can access it by
going to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library". I wouldn't think an upgrade would overwrite anything in ~/Library.
If you have a Time Machine backup you may also be able to use that to retrieve them.

I connected a digital camera memory chip with approximately 100 photos on it. The photos showed up in iPhoto. I believe I deleted the photos from the memory chip before importing them. Is there any way I can get the photos back?

Looks like just the ticket for saving mistakes.

I forgot to save a file in Numbers. Is there any way I can possibly get it back?

Do a search in Finder for Untitled.Numbers. If you find such a file, or some variation, try to open it and see what's there. That's if you never saved.
Mavericks is pretty good about autosaving, so you chances are not too bad. In the future though, never write a thing in a new document until you give it a name and a place.
