Can´t migrate user data from 4.3.3 to latest 6.1.x iOS...

Hello folks,
I have a friend who was complaining that her iPhone 3GS wasn´t updating her apps anymore. I quickly realized her iOS under 4.3.3.
While connecting in iTunes, neither options to backup or upgrade appeared - only set as new iphone.
I searched several forums, but couldn´t find a solution (other than copy manually her pictures through USB, and type again all contacts)
Considering her iPhone is no longer recognized, how do I backup her stuff and restore under newer iOS version ?
Cheers and thanks !

You might also want to try a different USB sync cord if your phone isn't being recognized by Windows at all.

Help with migrating user data from one account to another

I am on a G5 with 10.4.11. I installed FCP studio 6 and everything works fine except compressor. I have had only one user account on this mac (i will call it account 1). I was told to create another account (account 2), log on and see if compressor works. It does. Basically there are files missing on account 1 and compressor won't run. I have installed 3 times and no change.
Anyway I was told to migrate all my user data from account 1 to account 2. I have been looking at threads and want to make sure I am doing the right thing. I found a way to close. Please see if this works. IT may be from the tiger forum:
pick a short user name for your new account. then run the following terminal commands
sudo mkdir /users/newshortname
sudo ditto ~ /users/newshortname
You'll have to enter your admin password (which you won't see) after the first command. that's normal. This will copy your current home directory to /users/newshortname. Then go to system preferences->accounts and create a new account with the short name newshortname. You'll get a popup saying that a home directory by that name already exists and asking if you want to use it. say yes.
Anyway, I would like to migrate everything from account 1 to 2 and have all preferences...everything. I would also like to be able to delete the old account...account 1 and rename account 2. Since this is a home MAC, I really don't need it PW protected. I would like this MAC to just use my new account 2 at start up.
Please ask me any questions. This is my editing MAC, and I can't get around inside the OS. I know FCP like the back of my hand, but don't want to screw up this computer.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, you should be able to move most of it by changing permissions.
Network settings could be any/all of these though for instance...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist
As well as the old Keychain & cookies from your Browser.

Problem while Migrating user data from 10g to 11gR2

Hi experts,
I am trying to Migrate users data(including password and security questions) from 10g to 11gR2 what approach i have followed is..
From 10g using API i retrieved users data including password and security questions and i stored all information into hashmap. This is one java program.
And then i am trying to create that user in 11gR2 using API which i retrieved from 10g . From this 11g program i am creating object of 10g and i am using that hash map to retrieve user information.But i am not getting connection to 10g , it is throwing exception like unknown application server.Both sides i used API only as it is recommended to use API instead of JDBC connection.
Help me in this regard ASAP and suggest if there is any other approach to Migrate users data.
Thanks in Advance

By using Trusted Recon, you won't be able to Fetch Password as it is.
Since your goal is to fetch passwords too, please follow another approach.
You won't be able to get connection to both 10g and 11g simultaneously in the same program.
So, break this task in 2 phases. First connect with 10g, fetch user data in CSV format and then connect with 11G and read this CSV to create users.
Once users are created properly, use APIs for creating challenge questions and answers.
I think, you are getting exception like unknown application server because you are trying to connect to both 10g and 11g environments simultaneously.
Follow the following steps:-
(1) By using 10G APIsyou can't obtain password of user profile in decrypted form. So, Fetch password by using tcDataProvider. It will give you plain text password.
(2) In a custom scheduler written in 10g, retrieve this data in CSV. After all you can't store this info in
String query = "SELECT USR_LOGIN, USR_PASSWORD, USR_FIRST_NAME, USR_LAST_NAME FROM USR";//Add all fields which you want to retrieve from your 10G
(3) Use this query, tcDataProvider, tcDataSet and Java I/O (or any other CSV Third Party tool like the ones obtained in csv.jar in XL_HOME/ext folder) fetch this info in a CSV.
(4) Once CSV is generated, 10g machine is no more needed. Connect with 11g using 11g APIs. Write your custom 11G scheduler in order to read this CSV and use 11g APIs and create users for each record.
(5) Once user records are created in 11g, the difficult part is done. Transfer the Security questions too by using this CSV technique.
Please share results with us.

Migrate user data from SLES10sp3 OES2sp3 to new hardware

Hi,
I am trying to migrate user data on a nss volume from a SLES10sp3 and
OES2sp3 server to new hardware already setup with SLES10sp3 and OES2sp3.
Authentication and configuration of the data selection is sorted. After
starting the data transfer I get a message saying the migration failed.
Below is the error from the log file:
FATAL -FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Fatal: Cannot migrate source path

Hi kjhurni,
I have not setup to get update from the Novell channel as I have an issue
with connecting to the update channel but I will deal with that later.
I tried to run a miggui to migrate my data to the new server with SLES10sp3
and OES2sp3. Below is the entire log file, I have highlighted the error at
the end of the log file. (Names and addresses have been changed to protect
the innocent)

I can't migrate my data from my old pc to my new macbook pro

Hi,
I have been trying to migrate my data from my PC to my new mac but it always seems to fail.
At first, I would begin the migration assistant and then after a while the PC would just crash.
But then I finally thought I managed to get it working. It said that process was complete (on both the PC and mac), but there was no data on my computer and no music in my iTunes.
If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!!
PS I also have an Ethernet cable if that's of any use but I don't know how to use it.

I suggest you stop using the Migrastion Assistant. Simple fact is, as you have found out, that it does not work most of the time and when it fdoes actuall transfer data it doesn't do it very well.
Just network the 2 computer together over your LAN and copy and past the files you want to move to the Mac.
Otr use an External drive, formatted either FAT32 or exFAT (doinig the formatting on the Windows PC) and then copy to the external from the Win PC and then copy from the external to the Mac.
You'll be happier.

How can I migrate my data from one user to another (to eliminate a previous owner's shortname?)

I purchased a Macbook Pro second hand a couple of years ago and whilst I immediately changed my user name, didn't realise that the previous owner's short name still exists (I was a bit of a Mac virgin at the time!). I now have tonnes of documents, applications, settings, bookmarks, etc. which are assigned against the previous owner.
I've now bought myself an iMac and before I migrate from the older machine to the new iMac, I wish to remove all trace of the previous macbook pro owner.
In researching how to change the shortname user, I've tried virtually everything and everytime have to resort to time machine to restore my settings, desktop, etc. I simply cannot get this to work. Even what seems quite a comprehensive article and procedure didn't work i.e. "full monty" section of the following: http://www.macworld.com/article/1132693/changeshortusername.html
Having failed miserably using different techniques and subsequently having to restore three times from time machine which is costing me hours upon hours, I'm absolutely frustrated at how to do this ... all I want to do is migrate everything to a new user account and delete the old user and previous owner.
Surely someone out there can provide a fool proof, simple and effective method to migrate the user data and keep intact?
Please help if you can!

The only possible downside to this is, the transferred account may lose permission to the files on previous backups.
Actually, there is a way to prevent that, also a bit odd. On the old Mac, go to System Preferences > Accounts and unlock the padlock. Control-click (right-click) the account you want to delete in the sidebar and select Advanced Options. That will bring up a window like this:
DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ON THAT WINDOW. Just note the UID number.
When you start up the new Mac, the first account created (during initial setup) is automatically assigned #501. The next is 502, etc. What you want to do is, after creating the first account, Restart and set up one or more temporary accounts in a way that will include that number; then set up an additional one (an Admin account with the identical names as the one you want to trash). Then log on to the additional one, delete the temporary ones and Restart your Mac (to finish clearing the numbers).
Log on and run Migration Assistant as above. That way, you'll get the prompt to rename it as above, but the UID it has will not be a duplicate, so Migration Assistant can transfer it "as is."

Can I migrate ALL data from my PB to my Fiancee's iMac as a separate user

Hello,
I need to move all of my data from my 12" G4 PB (iTunes, iPhone, movies) onto my fiancee's iMac as a different user. Currently the only user profile on her iMac is her (family uses it).
I'm a Mac guy but am forced to trade the PB for Windows laptop to continue my training with MS SQL Server 2005, but I do not want to lose everything I have accumulated over the past couple of years, plus I just upgraded to a 16gb 3G iPhone.
Thanks for the help!

Create a new account for yourself. Probably the easiest way to transfer is to start up the PB in Target Disk Mode (if that is supported on that model) and use it as a source drive for copying your files to your new account while logged into the iMac. You might want to review application compatibility for opening your data files. You also don't say what model iMac but if it is a new one running Leopard you will lose Classic compatibility.

Migrating Users & Data from a Powerbook G4 to a MBP

OK, I'm getting a refurb. MBP and I'm going to need to transfer over my stuff from the Powerbook G4 to the MBP. The thing is...both my 400 and 800 FW ports in the Powerbook have ceased to function, so Target Disk Mode will not work for me. I could use the Ethernet form of transfer to get everything over but that implies that the MBP will have to be up and running and have it's network settings all configured in order for it to be "seen" on the network. Is this the case? Or, upon startup of the MacBoook Pro, will I be prompted to migrate data & users via Ethernet?
In the past, I've been able to use Target Disk Mode and I'm familiar with that procedure, I just don't know what to expect via an Ethernet migration. Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)

Migrate user data from SLES10sp3 OES2sp3 to new hardware (again)

Hi,
I am running SLES10sp3_64 with OES2sp3_64 and need to migrate the user data
to a new server running the same OS. I have also updated the SLES & OES to
the maintenance pack of November 2011.
The miggui authenticates and I can select the folders for migration. Below
is an extract of the log file error:
FATAL -FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Fatal: Cannot migrate source path
/media/nss/DATA/Users/JohnG/: nbackup: Failed to open dataset
/media/nss/DATA/Users/JohnG/ for backup
WARN - FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Warning: Going to next data set
ERROR - FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Error: nbackup: (libtsafs.so 6.50.0 291) An
invalid path was used.
FATAL - FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Fatal: nbackup command failed to complete

Hi,
The log is from /var/opt/novell/migration of the miggui. The begining of the log is about the connection and the authentication to the servers. Which is 100%
I then also ran the "nbackup" command from a terminal with the same result. I don't think it matters, but I am migrating from-and-to NSS volumes.
I have looked at the tid and have checked all relevent points and again, no issues. Perhaps this is a "NCP" issue rather than a "miggui" issue.
Thanks again.
John

I think there's a migration log and a debug log as well that may show some additional info.
Have you looked at this TID (slightly old, but I think most of it still applies)
Troubleshooting data migration issues with miggui

Can I migrate my data from a regular hard drive to a solid state drive using only a Time Machine backup from an external hard drive?

I just bought a Samsung 830 256GB solid state drive which I will use to replace my 15-inch, 2.53 GHz, Mid 2009 MacBook Pro's stock hard drive. I also keep an external hard drive in which I keep my regular Time Machine backups via FireWire. Would I be able to migrate all my data from it after putting in the solid state drive? I prefer not to use any third-party applications and I do not plan on replacing the SuperDrive with the hard drive that I'm going to remove from my laptop.

Yes.

Can you get User Data from a XI/PI System ?

Hello All
Can you with GRC 5.3 use PI as a User Data Source?
How?
Thank you

Hi Kristian,
for the AC 5.3 system user store itself or for the user details / user search you could use SAP ABAP, SAP UME, LDAP, etc.
Short: yes, you could use the ABAP user store of PI.
Best,
Frank

Migrate user data from SLES10sp4 OES2sp3 to new hardware

Hi,
Running SLES10sp4 with OES2sp3. I just updated all patches on both the
source and destination servers.
The command "cat /etc/*release" returns the following info:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)
VERSION = 10
PATCH LEVEL = 4
LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-noarch:core-2.0-x86_64:core-3.0-x86_64
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2.0.3 (x86_64)
VERSION =2.0.3
PATCHLEVEL = 3
BUILD
I then ran "miggui" and connected to both servers and authenticated. I then
selected "consolidate" and selected the folders to migrate. After clicking
"start", the system runs for a few second and then fails with the following
error:
FATAL - FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Fatal: Cannot migrate source path
/media/nss/DATA/Users/: nbackup: Failed to open dataset
/media/nss/DATA/Users/ for backup

...mmmh, so applying a million patches, updates and rebooting a zillion times, still no success.
SOLUTION: rsync the two data volumes,
edited each user and group rights
Using iManager or Console1 ispretty slow, so I used NwAdmin (old netware management tool, still the fastest)
(found some interesting rights allocations, fixed them)
changed login script
and all is good .... erm, watch this space

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file?

Can I use Visual Basic to covert form user data from multiple .pdf files to a single .csv file? If so, how?

You can automate Acrobat using IAC (InterApplication Communications), as documented in the Acrobat SDK. Your program could loop through a collection of PDFs, load them in Acrobat, extract the form data from each, and generate a CSV file that contains the data.
Acrobat can also do this with its "Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet" function, but this is a manual process.

How can I force migration of data from the old sync to the new?

I have two old instances of firefox (version 18 and 24) with sync set up; these are not accessible. How can I get the data from that account migrated to the new Sync backend without disconnecting these clients from Sync?

The old and new sync use the same backend but that may not help you here; if for instance; you were hoping to do directional merges.
Note the old and new syncs use a different account, and that the new sync only offers a merge option.
* [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]
*[[How do I choose what types of information to sync on Firefox?]]
Relying on sync alone to backup bookmarks could result in all devices having corrupt bookmarks listings.
If you have bookmarks involved I personally strongly recommend you manually back them up before making any sync changes, and thereafter do so at regular intervals - say every 2nd week. Sync is not good at handling large changes and large merges of bookmarks, corruption or duplication could occur.

Process to migrate configuration data from one BW development system to other

Hi SAP Gurus,
We need to migrate configuration data from one BW system DE1 to DE2.. Both systems are SAP net weaver 7.3.
DE1 is BW pre-production system and DE2 is BW DEV.
No transactional data required.
Please share a document if available.
Kindly, let me know the procedure for Remote Client copy or client export/import with steps.
Also let me know the pre-requisite for these activities.
Thanks,

Hi,
Remote Client Copy (SCC9)
Remote client copy is performed in rare situation. When the client copy is done
between two different SAP systems, the copy is called remote client copy.
Before remote client copy is performed, a RFC connection must be set between those
systems using SM59.
1. Check RFC connection is working fine between two systems you want to perform
remote client copy using SM59
2. create client in the target system you want to copy the client
3. login to target client using user SAP* and password PASS
4. execute tcode SCC9 and select the RFC for the source system
5. select the profile you want to copy like SAP_ALL
6. select source client number you want to copy
7. Select source client master data , mostly it is the same client number
8. Now click on schedule as background job.
9. Leave the background server field blank.
10. Click schedule.
11. Select Immediate from next screen.
12. Save the screen.
13. Client copy is scheduled now as a background job and client copy process started.
14. The progress can be monitored using tcode SCC3
Client Export/Import
A client transport consists of two steps:
First a client export extracts client data from the source client
to files at the operating system level. Then the data is imported
from the operating system files into the target client.
To perform a client export, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the source client. From the SAP initial screen,
choose transaction SCC8 (Client Export). Select the data to
be copied using a profile.
2. Indicate the target system to which the client will be copied.
The target system must be defined in TMS as part of the
transport domain.
3. Begin the client export. Because copying is a lengthy
process, use scheduled background processing.
Do not run any other client copy tool before the
data export is finished.
This export process will generate up to three data files at the
operating system level:
• RO< number >: this file contains cross-client data
• RT< number >: this file contains client-specific data
• RX< number >: this file contains SAPscript texts
Depending on the type of data selected through the client
transport profile, the client copy command files added to the
buffer of the target system are as follows:
• <S-SID>KO<number>: this file is for cross-client data
• <S-SID>KT<number>: this file is for client-specific data
• <S-SID>KX<number>: this file is SAPscript texts
The client export change requests are not imported when an
Import all takes place. Therefore, you must import these requests into the target client
using TMS. Choose one of the transport requests of the client transport in the Transport
Management System (TMS). The other transport requests belonging to this client
transport are then automatically added in the correct order.
After the import process has completed, post-import activities are required for object
generation steps. After completing the import, log on to the target client. From the SAP
systems initial screen, choose transaction SCC7
