Can I pick which folders are copied in migration assistant?

Hello
I just reinstalled Tiger and i am trying to migrate my old system on an external drive back onto the origional. The total of the data on the external is way bigger than the capacity of the internal. Heres what is on the external,
- System folders (Want to migrate)
- A folder with data that was already on the external before i made it a clone. (Don't want to migrate)
Is there a way to select which folders to put back on the new OS? Or is there any way to make migration assistent not be able to copy that folder back on?
Thanks

never mind i used Sectet Folder and it worked

    Limited.  You can choose user accounts, but not individual files or foldes.

  • Can I choose which applcations to transfer in Migration Assistant

    I'm getting a new Mac. I like to pick and choose which applications to transfer, form the old Mac, to the new Mac.
    It looks like Migration Assistant, give just an all, or nothing choice.  Is there a way to choose which apps get transfered?

    No. All apps or none. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889 for the details. I recommend migrating everything on first boot, using the Setup Assistant, then, after the process is over, selectively delete/uninstall unwanted ones. See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

  • HT4889 can I choose which applications to transfer with migration assistant?

    I do not want to transfer all my applications from my old Mac Book Pro.  (like Toast or DVD Studio since there is no DVD burner and other apps that I don't use)
    Is there a way to customize the transfer to pick just the Applications I want using Migration Assistant or something else?

    It will transfer ALL applications except the older versions of the standard apps. Just delete them after the transfer.

  • HT4914 How can you tell which songs are downloaded from the cloud on an ipad

    How can you tell which songs are downloaded on the iPad from the cloud?

    I know ipad albums are more like tagging photos rather than putting them in folders. I just have a nagging feeling I missed some pics and I have too many to try to go figure out one by one. I don't look at my photos from the camera roll, only from albums I tagged just because I imported photos from different sources and the dates and order is really messed up. I just want to know that I am viewing all the photos from like this vacation or that event and there's none I missed that are only in the camera roll.

  • How can I identify which albums are associated with a specific picture.  I used to click on the picture and see the albums but don't know how to do it in 13?

    I keep pictures in Albums, specifically by year and then other topic albums. As a result some pictures are in several albums. Sometimes they are assigned in error.  I used to be able to click on a picture and see not only the tags but the albums associated with the picture.  How can I see which albums are assigned to a picture?

    Are you referring to the yellow text box that pops up like this?
    If it is those are called tooltips or anchor titles.  Cyclosaurus has posted script to block them: removing rollover html detail box: Apple Support Communities.

  • I have about 5,000 images in a Folder.  How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

    I have about 5,000 images in a Folder.  How can I determine which images are NOT in a Collection?

    Create a smart collection with criteria "collection" and "does not contain"; and also with criterion Folder contains (or folder contains all)
    That works if you are thinking about a specific named collection.
    If you are interested in finding photos that are not in ANY collection, the usual trick is "collection" "does not contain" "a e i o u y"

  • Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

    can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

    Hi wjosten,
    thank you for the help.  I should have said I had a iphone 3.  A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button.  Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD.  I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens.  Am I making sense?

  • How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?

    I have an airport express extending, through wireless, a network provided by an airport extreme. How can I know which clients are connected to my network through express and which are connected through extreme?
    Here you can see both routers:
    I would expect to some clients connected to the express, other than the extreme. And that's all I see: only the airport extreme appears as client of the airport express.
    Below, one can see the summary of the config for both routers.
    Would somebody explain it?
    Thanks,
    Marcelo

    You can't see a list of your authorised computers, but you can see how many are authorised and deauthorise them individually or together.
