Best Practice Computer Upgrading

I recently replaced my beloved circa 2006 MacBook Pro. with a new 13' MBP. I used Migration Assistant to migrate my apps to the new computer. This did not move my iPhoto Library. I'm hesitant to do a Time Machine restore to the new computer because I would like to get a "fresh start" so to speak. The new computer is soooooo much better than my old one and I'm afraid doing the TM back up would just put a lot of unwanted junk on it.
What would be the best way to get items like my iPhoto Library off the old computer? What about my iTunes Library? I do use iTunes Match, so I can access all my matched music, but should I keep it on a hard drive somewhere? I mostly use Dropbox for my documents, so I'm not too worried about those.
I'd appreciate any suggestions from the group!
Thanks.

Using Migration Assistant, you should be able to move your user's accounts, too, incuding everything in the iPhoto and iTunes libraries. If I were you, I'd either just use it again, or, since you've a Time machine backup, only move those folders that you need into your admin folder.
Just my 2¢...

  • Best practice for upgrading task definition without deleting task instances

    best practice for upgrading task definition in production system without deleting or terminating task instances
    If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
    Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
    Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.

    1) Rename the original task definition.
    2) Upload the new task definition with the original name.
    3) Later, after all the running tasks have timed out, delete the old definition.
    E.g., if your task definition is "myWorkflow":
    1) Rename "myWorkflow" to "myWorkflow-old-2009-07-28"
    2) Upload the new task definition as "myWorkflow".
    Existing tasks will stay linked to the original (renamed) workflow definition.
    New tasks will use the new definition.
    As the previous poster notes, depending on the changes you are making, letting the old task definitions stay active could have bad side-effects and might be better avoided.

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me what is the best practice to upgrade FMW to 11.1.1.3...
    I followed the following steps to set up FMW 11.1.1.3.
    1. Oracle Enterprise edition Database 10.2.0.1 and applied 10.2.0.4 patch
    2. Installed RCU 11.1.1.3
    3. Installed Weblogic server 10.3.3 (11gR1)
    4. Installed Soa Suite 11.1.1.2 and applied patch for 11.1.1.3
    Is this the right way of installation or do i have to install 11.1.1.2 first f and then install 11.1.1.3..

  • What's the best practice to upgrade 3GS from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1

    I was reading the thread which was very helpful:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2665989
    But there is a slight difference here with my situation:
    -- I'm planning to upgrade from 3.1.2 to 4.2.1, yet in that thread the guy was trying to upgrade from 4.1
    And recently a friend told me he had an error 1013 during upgrade. Google also mentioned another error code, 1015, related to upgrading to 4.2.1
    1. Does anyone know what exactly caused Error 1013 and 1015?
    2. what is the best practice to upgrade from 3.1.2? Upgrading to 4.1 first and then upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2.1? Will that eliminate the occurring of these itunes errors?
    *(Yes, I know apple has officially terminated supporting upgrading an iphone firmware to anything below 4.3. But can we just discuss my questions hypothetically?)*
    Thanks people.

    The best way for upgrade purposes is to use the rename function of the TaskDefinition from the lh command line utility.
    Basically renames all current task instances with the TaskDefinition name. You can then alter the existing TaskDefinition and upload into identity manager.

  • Best practices of Upgrade - 10.1.2 to 10.1.3

    One of our customer is planning to upgrade BPM (BPEL Process manager server) to latest version…(10.1.2 to 10.1.3)
    Please let me know if someone has any best practice document on this upgrade and provide some guidance to modify the old components to new components.
    This will help the customer to work with the latest oracle fusion suite of components.

    Cbeckett,
    I haven't checked yet, but my guess is that the upgrade side isn't
    ready yet - at this early stage it's more to show you what features

  • SAP Best Practice Baseline upgrade.

    Dear All,
    Im quite confuse here. I install SAP BP Baseline v1.603 (Malaysia) using system copy. Everything working find and now i try to upgrade it to SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4..May i know is it possible to upgrade to EHP4 for this best practices because i cannot see the content upgrade for EHP4 available for Malaysia. Can i use SAPEhpi to upgrade it to EHP4? or maybe SAP Best practices not allowed to upgrade to EHP4.
    Thank you

    Dear Muhamad,
    It is possible to upgrade to EHP4.
    SAP BP Baseline v1.603 is based on ERP6.0 EHP3.
    You can refer to the following comments in note 1301301:
    In order to allow you making use of functions and features
    provided withhigher SAP ERP enhancement package versions, in a
    system upfront set-up via SAP BP package activation based at
    least on "SAP ERP 6.03", please follow the below mentioned steps
    to bring your system to the desired enhancement pack level:
    -  System set-up according to the requirements stated in the
       QuickGuide of the SAP BP package to be activated
    -  SAP BP package has been activated with the required scope
    -  System update using SAP EhPI to the wanted enhancement package
       level
    -  Technically SAP provides a so called "Vendor Key" for SAP EhPI
       updates of systems containing SAP BP add-ons. This is only to
       ensure that the update is technically completed. When SAP EhPI
       asks for a decision regarding installed add-ons, choose "KEEP"
       for the SAP BP add-ons. In the next step a vendor key has to
       be provided.
    For technical reasons, vendor keys are specific for the "start
    release" the update is performed from:
    SAP EhPI updates on system based on SAP_BASIS 700 - column "Key
    (700)"
    SAP EhPI updates on system based on SAP_BASIS 701 - column "Key
    (701)"
    If a vendor key does not fit at all or a software component is
    not listed below, create a customer message on component
    BC-UPG-ADDON.
    SW Component      Key (700)            Key (701)
    BP-ERP05          1831003              2899480
    BP-INSTASS        2056515              2031478
    "IMPORTANT NOTE" :
    The functionality of the already installed SAP BP add-ons based
    on the previous SAP application version - the activation of a SAP
    BP package based on the previous SAP application version - can NO
    LONGER BE USED. But of course the functionality of the new SAP
    application version as such can be used.
    But just as mentioned in this note,
    you can use the vendor key to continue with the EHP4 update, but the
    version BP-ERP05 is NOT compatible with EHP4(note 1226284).
    Therefore, do not use BP-ERP05 on EHP4. You should install the
    latest version of BP add-on version for ERP6.0 EHP4.
    With Best Regards

  • Best practice for upgrading from ADS 9.1 to ADS 11

    So we will need start upgrading installs from Advantage Database Server (ADS) version 9 to ADS version 11. Is there a set of best practices? Certain procedures? How do we gracefully fall back if it doesn't work? Does anyone have experience with the dual install setup of ADS 9 and ADS 11? Did anyone else run into any issues with this upgrade path?
    Thanks in advance!
    Rodney

    Rodney,
      My first recommendation is to read the "Effects of Upgrading" section of the help file. I put the links below.
    Effects of Upgrading to Version 10
    Effects of Upgrading to Version 11
    Effects of Upgrading to Version 11.1
      The server will always work with an older client so I would recommend upgrading the server and testing it with your current application. The next step would be to upgrade the client and re-compile your application. I wouldn't anticipate any issues other than those outlined in the effects of upgrading.
      You can install multiple instances of Advantage, beginning with version 10, on the same machine. Keep in mind that only one instance, the first one installed, will be discoverable. To connect to other instances you will need to use <IP Address>:<Port> in the connection string. Details on installing additional instances of Advantage are here

  • Best practice: Computations or Source

    Hi,
    Question about what's the best use.
    If you write a SQL query to get a value out of a database for a field on your page. What is the best way to do this.
    - By setting a computation (with the query) on that field
    - Or write te query in the source attribute of that field
    Both will have the same result.
    But what's the best practice?

    Hello Davy,
    >> Both will have the same result.
    That’s not entirely correct.
    If you are using the SQL query in the item’s Source value or expression field, the retrieved value will not set Session State. Computation, on the other hand, will set Session State.
    Also, bear in mind that firing the Source content depends on how you set the Sourced Used field. If you set it to Only when … it will be fired only when the value of the item in session state is null.
    >> But what's the best practice?
    There isn’t any. It actually depends on what you need to achieve. If, for example, you need to set Session State, you only have one option.
    Regards,
    Arie.

  • Best practice for upgrading an old system?

    My Archlinux installation seems to have been upgraded over three years ago for the last time. Today, a naive pacman -Syu resulted in a number of file conflict errors and wasn't carried out.
    I then checked the list of announcements since 2011 and identified a few that included the string "manual intervention required". I believe that it was the update of the "filesystems" package that didn't work, again due to conflicts, probably related to the move from /lib to /usr/lib around that time.
    My attempt to update glibc resulted in misconfigured libraries, which took a while to sort out. While I can run commands again, I doubt that my system is in a very healthy state now.
    What should I do, what should I have done to update my Archlinux installation, untouched for 3.5 years?

    Well, I asked the question because nothing worked after following a few of those "manual intervention required" notes. More precisely, the result of the last pacman was that literally no command worked. It turned out that the system didn't find libraries anymore, in particular the loader ld-linux.so. It took me a while to figure this out and to patch the system up enough to have it limp along. Good learning, by the way.
    After that and the suggestion in this forum that a reinstall was the best solution anyway I did just that. Since my only applications were Samba and the acpi daemon, that was not too bad. Unfortunately it's not Archlinux anymore, but Centos, which I am simply more familiar with.

  • Best Practice for Upgrade in FPN-Landscape

    Hi there,
    we have already implemented a consumerportal with two producerportals.
    Now we want to upgrade our consumerportal from SPS12 to SPS15.
    It´s better to disconnect the producer and reconnect these portal after upgrading again?
    Or it´s not a problem to upgrade a consumerportal while producer are connected?
    Same question in other way. If we upgrade a producersystem. May we disconnect these portals until the upgrade on producersystem is done and connect again?
    Wait for your helpful experience :o)
    Best regards
    Christian

    It´s better to disconnect the consumersystem from producer.
    After Upgrad all is fine.

  • Best Practices for Upgrade UCS firmware from 2.0 to 2.2?

    Hi
    I have Cisco UCS system ( 2 FI, 4 Chassis with 32 Server ) running 2.0 firmware. Now I want upgrade to 2.2. When I check document "Upgrading Cisco UCS from Release 2.0 to Release 2.2", I see have 2 solution:
    - 1. Upgrading from Release 2.0 with Auto Install -> Step simple but all server reboot at same time.
    - 2. Manually Upgrading from Release 2.0. -> Step more complex but can upgrade server one by one.
    My question:
    - Can I "Upgrade the infrastructure firmware with Auto Intall but upgrade Server with Manual"?
    - What is best for my case?
    Thanks

    Hi Phamcongtuan,
    In UCS you can create host firmware policy that can be used to upgrade the firmware of your blades.  Once you upgrade the infrastructure firmware, you can apply the host firmware policy to the service profiles of your blades.  If you are using service profiles templates you will need to unbind the service profiles and apply the policy to the individual servers.

  • Best practices for upgrading Windows Server Essentials 2012 to R2?

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade my Windows Server Essentials 2012 on an HP microserver to Essentials R2 (specifically the R2 role on Standard rather than as a VM). After a reasonable amount of searching, I haven't found anything online that specifically addresses this in-place
    upgrade scenario. Since this is already an Essentials server, it's the PDC in its own domain, etc. Has anyone that's done this upgrade have any experiences or warnings to share?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hello there,
    There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2.  R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build.  Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server.  This will require additional hardware.  You
    can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from,  restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2.
