Can I use flash drives to transfer data from one MBP to another at a differ

I've looked and cannot find any info on the use of flash drives. Can I use a flash drive to transfer data from one MBP to another one at a different location? (ie; school Apple and home MBP) Grade tests and papers at home, enter data into home computer, then put it on flash drive and carry flash drive to school, transferring data to school desk top? Are certain flash drives preferrable over others, name brands, size, etc?

Yep, you sure can. Just about any drive will work as mentioned above. But I'm partial to SanDisk and PNY. I've used both and they work great! Currently I carry both a 2GB SanDisk Micro Cruzer and a retractable 2GB SanDisk Cruzer, both really nice. Replaced my oldie but goodie 256MB PNY drive that I've been using since they first came out.

  • Using Migration assistant to transfer data from one disk to another

    I will install a new SSD disk but I would like to make a clean install with Mountain Lion but after that migrate data from the old HDD, that it is now installed in the place of the optical drive, to the new. I would like to know how to do that correctly and also if there is any advice to do this better.

    I agree the best solution is to install clean then install programs then copy data over for a true new clean install.
    But I still don't understand why you said setup assistant isn't a option either. It certainly is a option and in my opinion a much better option than migration assistant. Which is what the original poster was asking about.
    As for cloning I have read it is best when going from standard drive to ssd it is best to do a new clean install instead of cloning. So I wouldn't consider cloning a option in this case. But that is my opinion from the reading I have done. I was thinking about installing a ssd in my mac notebook.
    Thanks.

  • How to transfer data from one MBP to another on the same wireless network?

    Hello All,
    My wife & I both have MBP's & are connect to the internet wirelessly via a Comcast-supplied Arris modem & a Belken router I purchased.
    Please don't laugh too hard but when I share data with my wife I, first, transfer it onto a flash drvie, then I walk to my wife's mbp & transfer the data from the flash drive to her mbp.
    I have a feeling there is a better way.    Since I guess we are on the same network can I do this wirelessly some how?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks in advance.

  • Best way to transfer data from one MBP to another

    Hi there,
    In few days time I'll be swaping MBP 15 Retina (os 10.9.3) for new one. Some thech issues with the current one. Have to send old and will get new.
    TM Backups runs automaticaly Airport Time Capsule (wireless).
    What is the best and safest way to transfer whole data?
    How to setup Time Machine? Any special settings for last backup before will send it?
    How to get all stuff back on the new one?
    About 150GB on HD.
    Thanks

    Make a bootable backup/clone of your current machine onto an ext HD. Better than restoring from TM. Then, when you get the new machine, on first boot (assuming whoever's providing it to you hasn't already set it up), follow the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide, migrating from the bootable backup/clone.

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.

  • Different ways to Transfer data from one database to another database

    Hi all,
    What are the ways to transfer data from one database to another database. With the following options, i Can transfer data as far as i know. Please
    correct me if i am wrong or tell me if there is any other options are available.
    1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.
    2) By using Export and Import utilities.
    I told first one to my interviewer, he told, its strange, by using, COPY command also can we transfer data ? As far as i know, we can transfer data. Am i right ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pal

    transfer data from one database to another database.You mean store the data of one to another?
    1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.every SELECT on a DB-link is transfering data. And you can have all kind of transfers and store on the e.g CTAS of materialized views or.... the SQL*PLUS COPY :
    The COPY command is not being enhanced to handle datatypes or features introduced with, or after Oracle8i. The COPY command is likely to be made obsolete in a future release.
    But there are many others. Check for ORACLE Streams, and the "COPY" your interviewer was mentioning is about the operating file system COPY right? That's transportable tablespaces.

  • Transfer data from one database to another without identities but keep the relation b/w PK and Foreign key

    Hi,
    I need to transfer data from one database to another database (both are identical databases). 
    1. Not transferring identity columns (primary keys). the destination table might have the same key.
    2. keep the PK's and FK's relation b/w parent and child table
    3. I have 4 levels 
    Example: tableA (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3)
    tableB (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
    col2 , col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableA.col1
    tableC (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
    col2, col3) -- col2  has the foreign key relation with tableB.col1
    tableD (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3) -- col2  has the foreign key relation with tableC.col1
    please advise me.

    Thanks

    I dont think there is a standard business content datasource to extract data from NAST table. If you are going to use this data in some other LO modules based on the requirement enhance the datasource and append fields and write code to populate the message types.
    If you are going to use this as stand alone data, then you can go ahead and create a generic datasource based on table.
