Best way to move from msjava to sun java

Hello Java people,
We have a web version of a program, attachmate extra, (mainframe emulator), that requires Java 1.5 runtime applet. I have a package set up using the msi from java ready to be pushed with SMS. My goal is to have users using Sun java 1.5 as their default applet and I don't care if msjava is still left on the pc's.
So here are my questions...
1) Do we need to remove msjava or can we just install sun java 1.5?
2) If we just install sun java 1.5 is this the command line to use for IE to use java 1.5 as it's default? msiexec.exe /i jre.msi IEXPLORER=1 (would that work?)
3) Are there any procedures outlined anywhere on the best way to do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as Java is a little foreign to me.
Thanks!
Bryan

The differences in processors makes the migration not as easy and other posters have already given you good advice.
I actually DID the G5 PPC Tiger to Leopard migration and after many (unsuccessful) attempts to achieve a stable Leopard by merely installing it "over" my Tiger volume, I ended up having to do the equivalent of "erase and install" (I simply bought a new harddrive disk [HDD] and installed a brandnew Leopard). Despite this, the IBM processor did not really "like" Leopard and repeated Kernel Panics (KP) started to occur resulting in loss of RAM and bus; too many issues having to run many programs under "rosetta". Also, some of the nicer features in Leopard (front row, bootcamp) did not work at all with the PPC architecture. Also Photoshop needed upgrading for Leopard and plugins need updates, too (check with Adobe and with e.g. Alien Skin)
Having said that, I have heard of success stories of PPC and Leopard. (intersting article about "complexity of Tiger in a server": http://ls.berkeley.edu/mail/magnet/2008/0374.html might have a relevance to ordinary OS). So I am not trying to put you off, just giving you a first hand experience my own experience.
I think you need to ask yourself:
1) Is my machine not working satisfactorily? (If so, then why not try the upgrade)
2) Why do I want Leopard (if you fancy a change, why not for it then)
3) Is the upgrade essential? (It is nice to have something new, but you know, I do miss OS9, as that no longer works with Leopard unless you emulate with e.g. sheepshaver (see discussion:
http://macosx.com/forums/mac-classic-system-software/296734-classic-os9-leopard. html)
4) As always, there is always something "newer and better" (snow leopard: http://www.apple.com/macosx/snowleopard/)
Good luck with your decisions
NB: I am running Leopard with my Intel Mac Pro and am absolutely lunatic (=over the moon )

Best Way to Move from old iMac to New?

My super sweet new 27" iMac is due to arrive next Thursday and will be replacing my mid-2007 iMac. Each OS release has been installed on the 2007 iMac as an upgrade and hasn't been cleanly installed since it was new.
Though I use TimeMachine, I was under the impression that using TM as the migration tool would bring along all of the system files and I wanted to start as clean as possible. So, I had originally set my mind to using the Migration Assistant when the new iMac arrives, which would allow me to have a "clean" system along with all of my apps/files/etc.
BUT... today I was setting up a new iMac for someone, migrating from another iMac that was about 1 year old. Because it had never been upgraded, I decided to the TimeMachine drive. So when initially setting up the iMac, I was prompted for the migration options: from another computer, from another disk, etc. I chose "from another disk," which then presented me with the options expected through migration assistant ( applications, users, etc ). After continuing, I am confident that none of the system files came over from the TM backup.
So... I am not thinking that using my TM backup and the "migrate from another disk" option may be the fastest migration method and still preserve the clean integrity of the new system.
Does anyone know for sure?
tia,
Bill

A few more things about what you can expect with Migration or Setup Assistant --
* The "time remaining" calculation is not very accurate. It might indicate 16 hours to go when there is really less than an hour (or vice versa).
* Wireless migrations take a long time (many hours sometimes).
* The migration is smart enough to not bring over an older version of, say, iPhoto, when your new Mac came with a newer version than you had before.
* After the migration, SOMETIMES (not always) you may be prompted to enter a user code or key for software from Microsoft, Adobe, etc. so have those ready.
* You will probably have to reinstall your local printers and their latest drivers to work on the new computer.
* Setup Assistant running on first boot up before any users have been created on the new computer is the best way. Then your new computer (with the exceptions noted above) will look basically just like your old one after the migration. If you use Migration Assistant instead of Setup Assistant, don't create a user with the same name as you had on the old computer, instead create a generic user called "Admin" or something like that, and then the migration will move your entire old account and user name over to the new computer (if you already created that same user name on the new Mac, it will have to give your migrated user a different name, which bothers some folks).

New iMac - best way to move from MacBook

Hello all
I am now the proud owner of a iMac 24" :-D
My existing life is on a MacBook, which has been backing up to Time Machine for a month or two.
I would like to move everything onto the iMac.
I've started up Migration Assistant and have been presented with two options. 1) Firewire and 2) Time Machine.
Since both the MacBook and Time Machine backup are right up-to-date, is there a reason for one over the other? The MacBook is working fine and isn't corrupt or anything like that.
One thing that would swing me is if the iMac would continue on with the Time Machine backups from the MacBook - any hope of that?
Thanks!

Well I went ahead and did it via TM
A summary below:
- You find out that there are some folders not backed up by Time Machine. I haven't scoured the whole machine but the iPhone backup directory "MobileSync" is an obvious one. Had to do a full phone backup when I connected
- The new iMac created its own folder on the TM drive and did a full backup. I can mount the old MacBook's backups but nothing is integrated with iPhoto or Address Book etc.
- I didn't get a choice of which version of TM backup I wanted to migrate from, so it wouldn't be very useful if I needed to migrate from an old, non-corrupt version. I guess you could get around this by changing the "Latest" alias on the Time Machine back drive but that could cause some problems - depends on how desperate you are
- I think a Firewire migration might have been quicker as the TM drive has to hunt all over the place to get a full drive image. Plus FW vs USB issues

Best way to move from RAC to single node database.

Hi,
One of my customer is having RAC setup with EBS R12. Due to some other issues, customer is looking to switch back to Standalone database. What could be the best approach for this?
I am thinking to perform the following approach. Could any body comment on the same?
1) create a new oracle_home on the same server.
2) Modify the cluster_database to false.
3) start the database from new oracle_home.
4) Create a new listener with same port#(off course i will stop all RAC services including listener).
Version details are :- 11gR2 on Solaris.
EBS is :- R12.
Is this approach sounds good or any better method.
Thanks in-advance.
Regards
DBA.

Hello DBA,
You can follow these steps...
a) Stop database using srvctl
srvctl stop database -d mydb
b) Remove the database entry from crs
$ srvctl remove instance -d mydb -i mydb1
$ srvctl remove instance -d mydb -i mydb2
$ srvctl remove database -d mydb
c) Start the database on first instance
SQL> startup
SQL> alter system set cluster_database=false scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> alter system set cluster_database_instances=1 scope=spfile;
System altered.
SQL> alter database disable thread 2;
Database altered.
d) Delete the unwanted thread and redo logfiles
e) Drop the unwanted undo tablespace
f) Create pfile from spfile
g) Remove second instance references from the pfile and start the instance
h) create spfile from pfile.

Best way to move from PPC Tiger to Intel Leopard

Hi,
I am looking towards getting a new Mac soon. Right now I have a PPC eMac. That means all my software is non Intel. How does this affect the migration process? I have never, ever migrated before between computers so am pretty much at zero level of experience. Will the migration assistant just move files instead of programs?
I have discs for my software and they are universal so it is my guess that I just reinstall the software on the new Mac. Then move the files over?
Thanks for any tips on how to make this a smooth process.

Whats the best way to move from mac mini server to Mac pro server?

Hi everyone. I am currently running a mac mini server and it's maxed out. I have just purchased a Mac Pro server and I was wondering if anyone has moved there data in a similar scenario. Is it as simple as restoring a time machine backup to the new server? Any insight would most appreciated as I need this to go smoothly. Thank you.

Apple's official Time Machine documentation says NOT to use TM to back up an entire server.
The reason being is that it will NOT properly back up your databases. The three in question most often used with OS X server is the Mail DB, the MySQL DB and the Open Directory.
Database experience tells me that reason behind their not supporting Databases is the issue with reading info that's being written to or read from while TM is doing it's thing. It's likely that if the server is under load when the time machine backs up, you're going to get an inconsistent copy.
The ONLY apple documented GUI method of restoring a server is by using the Setup Assistant during the initial setup of a server. (using a firewire cable to connect and having your old server in target disk mode)
This in fact I would say is the most reliable method of migration.
(my 2 cents)
Write more and let us know how the new server works on a continual basis! I've not heard of anyone having a successful restore taken from a live server.

Best way to move iTunes library & media from MacBook to mini server?

First, I searched the forums (parameter: "itunes") and didn't see this addressed.
Second, I searched the web (using multiple parameters), and didn't find an answer on point. I saw discussions about moving the iTunes library (well, media files) to another location (but same computer) and discussion about manually copying everything (with warnings about ensuring that the volume name and path are exactly the same, or else it's totally messed up).
That said, I currently use SL on a MacBook and I'm getting a mini with SLS. Among other things, I'd like the core of my iTunes media to be on the mini (for direct playback to my TV and for serving/sharing to my Apple TV). I'll still use iTunes on the MacBook for selected media (like books).
My media includes both iTunes purchases and non-DRM'd media.
Question: does SLS come with Migration Assistant and will this move my iTunes library from my MacBook (with SL) to the mini (with SLS)? I'm not interested in a migration assistant to move servers (web, email servers) or apps, or documents for that matter, as this is not a server move (some discussions online focused on this).
If it doesn't, what's the best way to move my iTunes library and media from my "clien" machine to the server so that playlists, ratings, purchases, etc. are all intact?

MrHoffman wrote:
iTunes has its own private little world, and this question isn't really specific to Mac OS X Server, and the generic media-transfer discussion will likely receive better coverage over in the [iTunes forum|http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149].
Mac OS X Server doesn't do anything special with iTunes, and likely doesn't do anything specific with it at all; you're going to a "different" Mac, and server makes this more akin to a transfer to a new Mac, rather than the "replacement Mac" sequence seen with Mac OS X client.
I'd be surprised if this music transfer wasn't something that could be sorted out (within the limits of the copyrights) from some FAQ over in the iTunes forum, or from some of the following support articles:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1329
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA38534
See if the folks over in the iTunes forum have something for this. (And again, server likely isn't relevant here; you're "just" going to transfer your music to a different Mac box here, and one that happens to run Mac OS X Server.
Thanks for the links - unfortunately, none of those are on point. The reason this is unique to server, I think, is that in the case of a regular mac to mac transfer, you would use Migration Assistant, and the move is easily done. But in seems like server doesn't come with Migration Assistant.
I suppose when I get it, I'll first try copying Migration Assistant to it, and try to run it. That will probably fail (but you never know), so my next attempt will be to have my MacBook move the media to the server (as if the server is simply network storage), and then copy over the library files. (I'm hoping that will enable the file paths to remain intact.)
The mini server is special in that it is the most appropriate home server, and home servers should be expected to do double duty - and outright server, and desktop. So, it would be handy for Apple to include Migration Assistant with the mini server.

What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
iMac Intel DuoCore Mac OS X (10.4.4)

There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

What is best way to move pictures from laptop to EHD pse10

I have gotten differing views on the best way to move my pictures from my laptop (to free up space) to an EHD while keeping PSE10 on my computer. When I want to do something in PSE10 I would connect my EHD.
It has been suggested to follow the pse10 "back up" procedure but there are no directions on how to get the program to read the EHD after the back up is made (so pse10 can find my pictures on the EHD).
It has been suggested to do a "drag and drop" procedure but I have not been able to get step by step directions for this for pse10.
Can someone please assist me in this task with good directions. I am marginally literate in these things, probably enough to make a big mess if I tried this without consult.
If no one can answer this is there a next level that one can go to?
I have tried chat with Adobe help and they won't help me because I do not have the newest version of pse.

One more thing...
I have a MacBook pro that I'm using to connect to the thunderbolt drives. I believe I should be able to just connect my pc to the Mac via an Ethernet cable and network them, yes? Well, I tried that and could not get it to work. My pc never saw the new network.
You see, part of the problem actually has nothing to do with the transfer process at all. The movie comes with 12tb of footage files. That's ALL the footage shot during their 18 day schedule. However, only certain shots, about 4tb worth, made it into the final cut of the film, and the editor did not separate those shots out for me. So now, I am responsible for manually sifting through all the footage and copying over just the shots that made the final cut. I have a list of the shots needed, and I have an exfat formatted 500gb usb2 drive that so far is performing as well as out can, but it's an incredibly slow process that is compounded by the slow, usb2, copy speeds I'm currently getting.
Would a network connection handling such large amounts of transfers be faster than usb 2?
And also, I tried a free pc utility that allows my pc to read and write to Mac drives, but the transfer speed was so slow that I abandoned that strategy. Would Paragon have faster speeds?

What is the best way to move data from one array to another

I'm going to be moving data from one array to a larger array on the same RAID but different controller. (I have some extra extra drives I'm also going to be installing Retrospect so I can't just restore from a backup.)
The RAID has 450GB of production files, fonts etc.
What is the best way to move the data over?
I saw that someone had suggested using ditto. Would that be better than MacMV?
I also own Bru LE so I could use that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Ditto is a great option -- probably the best.
