Can Mavericks be cloned from one machine to another?

Are Mavericks installations machine-specific? Like OS install disks that shipped with machines vs. retail disks one could install on anything?
Today I'll be receiving a previously-owned late 2009 Mac Mini with Mavericks already installed on it. I'd like to be able to clone that and move it to a partition on a mid 2010 Mac Mini.
I'm not sure Mavericks is for me but I'd like the opportunity to test it out in a confined area. I need to reinstall the original older OS on the '09 Mini for my current work, thus my desire to move Mavericks to a spare partition on another machine (which has a larger drive).
I do realize that since Mavericks is free it could be downloaded for the partition - in an ideal world where I'd have something other than a slow-as-dialup connection.

Thank you. I'd not considered the Apple ID issue. Hopefully he did a clean install before sending it off, though I don't think I'll be able to start it up until tomorrow (it should arrive later today but it's so intensely cold here I'm going to let it sit for several hours before turning it on).
Perhaps a better solution for me would be to clone Mavericks to an external drive, then reformat the drive in the 09 Mini for 2 paritions, placing Mavericks on one and 10.6.8 (what I need) on the other?

How can I migrate an Essbase Appl. from one machine to another?

We uses 3 computers to cover our development cycle: one for developing, one for testing with almost real data (integration test) and a production machine.I created a new Essbase appl. and want to transfer it from one machine to another, but only using batch scripts (ESSCMD) due to company policy. I don't know where the name of the application is stored. (I thought it is essbase.sec, but I believe is not true)I transfer all the files that belongs to an appl. (the list of them I get using BEGINARCHIVE) but is not enough.Does anyone have a hint?

If you can map a drive to each to the servers, then:1. Create an application/database on the new server with the same names as those on the old server.2. Use Windows/DOS, copy the outline (.otl), calc scripts (.csc) and load rules (.rul) to the new server.3. Export the database from the old server to a file(s) on the new server.4. Stop/start the new database/app.5. Import the data into the new server (no load rule needed).

Can't move document from one folder to another

In the previous incarnation of Pages, right when it first developed Folders (a long overdue development), I was able to easily move a document from one folder to another on my MacBook, as well as my iPad.
Now, whenever I grab a document and try to drag and drop it into a new folder to move it, it won't let.
Did Apple actually remove this functionality from Pages?

Didn't have the Yosemite MBA powered up, so verified this on Mavericks with Pages v5.2.2. Since Apple has essentially frozen the Pages v5 codebase, figured this would also work on Yosemite.
Any application (e.g. TextEdit) that takes advantage of this titlebar feature can move documents in this manner.
In the Finder, you can move a document from one location to another by depressing the command key while dragging the file.
In Pages v5.2.2, with the document chooser open, I can use the preceding sentence move technique to move a file from an open folder into the Pages document chooser and it will automatically switch the Pages document chooser to inside that external folder — without launching the document. But, the command+drag feature does not work to move a document visible in the Pages v5.2.2 document chooser to another Finder location, or even into a folder visible within the document chooser.

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!
Regards,
John

How to transfer DATA from one machine to another using DBlink

I want to transfer data from one machine to another both having oracle 8.0.5 with AIX operating system using DB link. CAn any one help me in this task

Recovering data from one machine to another

Hi all;
I've mentioned this in another thread but would really like to deal with it. Recently, I had to move my iPhone from one machine to another. All was well and I managed to move all my apps from one machine to the current one. The problem is with a purchased app called TripLog that stores data on driven mileage. On moving the app over, I didn't get the data.
I contacted the software people and this is what I got:
"As far as data, the iTunes software automatically backs up all data to the desktop. The "Apple data" (contacts, calendar, etc) are backed up to the corresponding desktop apps (Address Book, iCal, etc) but data from "3rd party" apps are backed up in an encrypted, totally nonaccessible (to anyone but iTunes) format. That is used by iTunes when you do a "Restore".
"I would call Apple tech support if I were you, because unfortunately, that's all we know. The data IS somewhere on the desktop (I believe) but how you could transfer it to a new handheld I have no idea."
So the question is, Where is that data stored? In my user/Music/iTunes/Mobile Apps folder there were three versions of this app. I tried moving them all over and kept getting dialogs asking me if I wanted to repace an older version with the newer ones I was moving over. Since my iPhone and the new host computer didn't have TripLog I assumed I should replace but now I am not sure.
I can stil move over these files, but I have a feeling that they are not data so much as simply the app itself. Where is that data stored?
For the record, I have moved files from an iMac G5 to a Macbook running 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1 with an iPhone 3G running 3.0.1
Help?
Stan

Many thanks!!! One more question; do I just move that file over and drag and drop or do I need to do an import into the folder, "Automatically Add to iTunes?" Further, will this affect all my data on the phone? For example, I have synced and made changes in things like iCal, Address Book, Mail, etc. Will the last few days be wiped out or replaced by the moved-in data?

How to copy OVD configuration from one machine to another?

We have two machines with OVD servers on them. The configurations should be identical from one machine to the other. We suspect there is a problem with the configuration on one of them. We need to know how to copy OVD configuration from one machine to another.
Can you tell us how to do that?

well i have this in mind which may help you.
You would need to have a public ip address to the machine you have consoled to and on internet.
Download the tftp software from below link.
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
This software does not only act as the tftp server but also you can select the interface of you ethernet card as tftp server ip address.
For ex if you are connected to a console and have a wireless card which is connected to internet also you connect you eth lan card to the eth or fast eth of the router.
you can select which ever interface you want to act as the tftp server.
you will need to add ip addres for you lan card and also config the router port as same if needed.

Easy way to migrate users from one machine to another?

I have an iMac lab where students have their own local accounts. The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD. New school year, new seating charts, some users must move. Is there an easy way to migrate a user and all their stuff from one machine to another? We do have Remote Desktop BTW. I'm not finding an obvious answer so I guess there isn't but I sure wish there were. I suppose they could copy anything they want onto the server. set up a new account on the new machine and pull it all back off the server, but that's not "easy".

Hi
+The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD.+
This could be a telling statement although without further information it would be hard to say?
What I'm assuming from this is that current mac clients are bound to Active Directory. This would mean that user accounts exist on the Server and not locally. In which case there would be nothing to transfer other than the local admin account - again assuming you want the applications installed on the current client macs transferring over to the new client macs.
To be honest it would be easier and less hassle to create a new local admin account and install compatible software fresh. Use the same tools you used to 'bind' the old client macs to Active Directory for the new client macs.
+We do have Remote Desktop BTW+
You could utilize this to (a) name all the new mac clients with appropriate hostnames and (b) 'bind' new mac clients by issuing dsconfigad from the command line. If this seems like too much hard work then you could simply exercise your legs and walk round each one in turn.
Even if your current mac clients are configured with Mobile Accounts (locally cached network accounts) this would still not be a problem as you can manually or automatically sync the locally cached networked home folder back to the server and then log in with that account again on the new mac clients. The home folder should then be cached locally.
This assumes you've configured Directory Utility in the appropriate way.

VOs are corrupted after copying from one machine to another

Hi all
I have a customer with the following problem:
A team of developers are creating custom pages on different PCs for the same project.
In order to have the latest BC4J objects for everyone, VOs (XML file and Impl.java and RowImpl.java) are copied from one machine to another and added to the project.
But when doing this and trying to view the attributes of the new VO on the machine where the new VO si copied over will result in an error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Please notice that source JDeveloper version and target JDeveloper version are the same and are coming from the same JDev OA patch.
The only workaround i could find is creating the VO from scratch on the 2nd installation, but this reduces very much the development time, because developers are doing the same work other developer had undertaken before, so there is no benefit from this.
I got exactely the same result when copying the VO on the same machine in 2 different JDev installations (with the same version of course).
I have a very simple reproducible testcase with OA Toolbox tutorial:
Requirements:
- Two (2) workstations
- Each workstation must contain same copy of JDeveloper project (JPR file)
- Toolbox Tutorial project
Steps:
Workstation 1
1. Go to Tutorial.jpr project -> Business Components -> oracle.apps.fnd.framework.toolbox.schema.server
2. Right click package then select New View Object.
3. Proceed with the creation of the View Object using wizard.
4. Name the View Object as CustomerSupportVO
5. Select EmployeeEO and AddressEO.
6. Select all possible attributes.
7. On Step 6 of wizard, check Generate Java File for View Row Implementation.
8. Click Finish.
9. Save Project.
10. Copy CustomerSupportVO.xml, CustomerSupportVOImpl.java, CustomerSupportVORowImpl.java to shared folder.
Workstation 2
1. Copy CustomerSupportVO.xml, CustomerSupportVOImpl.java, CustomerSupportVORowImpl.java from shared folder to Workstation2/JDEV_HOME/myprojects/oracle\apps\fnd\framework\toolbox\schema\server.
2. Go to Tutorial.jpr project -> Business Components -> oracle.apps.fnd.framework.toolbox.schema.server
3. In the System Navigator, click on Add to Tutorial.jpr icon.
4. Select CustomerSupportVO.xml then click Open.
5. Click ok when prompt to add View Object’s components.
6. Right Click on CustomerSupportVO from Business Components.
7. Select Edit CustomerSupportVO.
Can you let me know if there is a more simple workaround?
Thank you in advance,
Dan Cretu
EMEA ATG team

I had faced similar issue earlier. I just copied the VO query(and all necessary information) and removed it (deleted) from the project. Upon recreation of the new VO (same name) the issue was resolved.
Not very sure as to why the VO.xml got corrupted in your case, but this solution works.
Thanks

How can i move music from one account to another

You can't transfer content from one account to another account, nor can you merge accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

Welcome to the forum.
I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
Good luck,
Hunt

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.
