Cloning the Towers

I have 6 G4 towers with the same specs that need to be rebuilt (OS9, Final Cut Pro, etc.) Has anyone had any luck cloning machines using FireWire target disk mode, or is there a better solution than TDM?
Note: these are OS9 only

Hi Richard,
I've had to do quite a lot of cloning for the company I work for and I found the best way to clone them was to use a program called Carbon Copy Cloner.
What I did was set up my laptop (using OS X) and then put two machines on Target Disk mode. One of them the "Master" and the second one being the..well "Secondary"
I found it cloned all the files (hidden etc) and it should be able to clone two OS 9 Machines. But the program only works in OS X
Here is a link to the program. It's easy to use.

    I have a MAC Pro from 2011 currently running MAC OS 10.9.5.  This weekend I cloned the MAC HD drive to a new SSD drive for improved performance.  The clone was completed successfully with no errors.  After the clone completed I successfully restarted my system using the SSD as the boot device.  I then successfully tested all of my products, including Photoshop CS6 and all of its plug-ins.  I successfully tested the key features that I frequently use.  Today while attempting to launch Photoshop CS6 a message is being displayed indicating that a scratch disk cannot be found.  All drives are available on the system via the Finder and Disk Utility.  I can access all drives including the old MAC HD which is no longer the boot device.  I've even attempted to launch Photoshop from the old device yet the same error persist.  Is there a way to review/edit/change Photoshop preferences if Photoshop doesn't launch?  I've even restarted my system several times to see if that would resolve the issues.  Does anyone have any recommendations for this issue?  Have you previously address this issue? 
    Thank you Gregg Williams

    1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (not reversible)
    or
    2) Move the Folder. See:

  • Hi Group: I think my "Macintosh H.D." disappeared off my desk top when I cloned the drive in setting up ext drive. The space at top rt corner went blank, the drive shows in disk utility, startup window, in the finder it shows up as "my Mac Pro'Help"

    Hi Group:
    In trying to set up an ext Drive for different purpose, I cloned my Macintosh H.D. drive and saved on another drive. Then I cloned the data on the Ext, used my orig. DVD to install sy on it, 4 attempts before it would accept the install. Did a reboot to confirm install no luck, and noticed that the space at top rt of D/T blank, the 2nd,3rd,& 4th bay Drives appeared below a blank space. My Mac H.D. appears in startup window & D/U but in finder Pref it is listed as " my name Mac Pro". The desk top has stayed the same, I can use startup to S/U  in all drives with a Sy, including Macintosh H. D. altho no icon or other clue that I am booted in it.
    During all my attempts with cloning and saving etc I think I made it invisible. I am not comfortable to try Terminal to find out. I will be totally thankful for all suggestions.
    I am using a Mac Pro (2008) with OS 10.6.8
    The external drive is on Firewire
    I used Disk Utility to set up drive
    I used  CCC to clone
    Thanks Funoptics

    go to finder preferences then side bar. make sure hard disk is ticked.

  • Windows 7 Enterprise is not genuine after installing new hard-drive and cloning the old one

    I retired from my job as a university professor two years ago, and they let me keep my laptop computer, which is a Dell Latitude E4300 with Windows 7 Enterprise installed. I do not have any of the original disks for Windows. Recently, the hard-drive began
    to fail, so I replaced it with a new one, cloning the old hard-drive onto the new one. Soon after that, a popup window began appearing saying that this computer is not running genuine windows. One important consequence of this is that I can no longer use Windows
    Update, so I have concerns about security. If I go to the control panel under “System”, it says windows is activated and gives me the Product ID. I have talked to tech support at Microsoft, and they tell me something along the lines of the following: that
    the problem is the new hard-drive is not recognized as being licensed to use this copy of Windows, and that I should post a question on one of the forums asking this: How can I reinstall Windows 7 Enterprise on the new hard-drive? Any assistance will be much
    appreciated.
    PS I have no idea which forum this should go under, so pretty much just picked one randomly.

    Thank you for the reply. Below is the diagnostic report:

  • Would cloning the drive be appropriate course of action?

    Hello. I am considering purchasing my first Mac which is from liquidated stock originally owned by a film company. This is a new 2009 MacBook Pro 15.4" that will come loaded with quite a bit of high-end graphics software including Adobe CS4 Master Collection. The only issue is that the install disks for all the software are not included (we're talking about $4300 worth of software). I figure the company's IT people installed the software on the company Macs from the master disks. The software DOES include proper serial #s that have not yet been registered (according to the seller). I'm looking for a way to protect this software in case the drive fails as I won't have the disks to reinstall it. Would cloning the drive prior to using the MacBook be the appropriate and most effective way to do this? I apologize if this is a stupid question. Right now I'm using a PC and want to migrate to the Mac but do not want to spend the money on this particular Mac if not having the software install disks will create a headache in the future. (Other software preinstalled & without the installation disks includes: Aperture 2, Final Cut 2, Logic Express 8, Filemaker Pro 10 , Quark Xpress 8 and Toast 9 Titanium.
    Any advice from the Mac community would be MUCH appreciated! Thank you.

    Cloning the drive would make sense, but understand that this may not protect the software from requiring installers. Some software "knows" that it's been restored from backups and will require re-entering registration codes.
    The seller of the computer should provide you with the original software installer discs or copies, and you should ask for them as part of the sale. Without them you may not be able to reinstall the software or get product support.
    Making a clone of the drive helps, but it does not protect you against multiple drive failure or corruption that may render the drives unusable. Having installer discs is your best protection.

  • Cloning the Oracle Database Server which has Grid 11.2.03 and DB 11.2.0.3

    Hi DBA's,
    Did anybody came across cloning a database servers? If i have the OFA for Grid and DB homes i.e /u01/app/oracle so after clone it will be the same across all servers. So the inventory structure will be same also. After cloning changing the listener.ora files to point to new IP/Hostname can bring up the listener. What else? Did anybody tried this things and what all issues have come or what all issues could come.
    Thanks,
    Bhushan Altekar

    Ok. I got the cloned VM . I did the same steps as we use for normal grid and db cloning. Below are the steps i did.
    1) change the ip address
    2) reboot
    3) after reboot wait for few minutes till the ASM comes up automatically
    4) as root run the below command
    /u01/app/oracle/product/11203/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -deconfig –force
    5) Change the hostname with system-config-network-tui - Edit DNS Configuration and change the hostname here
    6) Edit the /etc/hosts file and enter the ip address and the hostname
    7)Reboot
    8) After the reboot as root run the command
    /u01/app/oracle/product/11203/grid/root.sh
    ================================
    #output of step 8
    [root@cat ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/11203/grid/root.sh
    Performing root user operation for Oracle 11g
    The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
    ORACLE_HOME= /u01/app/oracle/product/11203/grid
    Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [usr/local/bin]:
    The contents of "dbhome" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
    The contents of "oraenv" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
    The contents of "coraenv" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
    Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by

    Successfully configured Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Serveror a Standalone Server
    ===============================
    9) stop the HAS service
    crsctl stop has
    10) Add the listener
    srvctl add listener
    11) Add the asm instance as new cloned grid don’t know about it. So we have to add it and see its added or not.
    12) srvctl add asm -d '/dev/oracleasm/disks/*' # Note here if you specify wrong diskstring. Your Oracle restart stack wont come up automatically after reboot. so please specify it correctly.
    13) crsctl status res # check all the resources are added or not
    14) edit the listener.ora file and change the hostname ( HOST = XXXX part of the file)
    15) crsctl enable has
    Congrats we have successfully cloned the database server itself.
    Please check the steps i did. And add if you think it should be added and taken care of.
    Thanks,
    Bhushan Altekar

  • Cloning the display

    Firstly, I'm running bootcamp. I have no trouble running multiple displays. I have no trouble getting the MacBook screen and our video projector to display content. What I can't do is to get the Mac display and the projector to show the same image simultaneously. I believe that folks refer to this as cloning the display.
    I'd like to be able to do this when running in the Mac OS and when running XP under bootcamp. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck. Maybe it can't be done with bootcamp.
    Any help (including "Don't bother trying until the next OS X release") would be appreciated.
    macbook pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Running bootcamp

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Same desktop on both displays is called Mirroring.
    In the Mac OS:
    1. Open System Preferences and click Displays.
    2. Set both displays to the same resolution and color depth.
    3. Click Arrangement and select Mirror Displays.
    In Windows under Bootcamp, have you tried function+F4, which rotates between each video out and mirroring? (That's from my PC laptop, not sure if it's supported in BootCamp).
    Hope this helps...

  • Are the towers going to be obsolete?

    I'm looking to get another mac and was looking at the towers, but I've heard that they will soon stop making them. Is this true?  I have a PowerMac G5 I've had for a long time and still works great other than I can't upgrade anything anymore. I mostly use my computer for work, artwork and graphics. I don't want to spend big money and find out I can upgrade anything in a couple years. What's the word?? Any advice?

  • Is there a way to update the towers near my new house?

    I know with sprint when we had it we were able to get our phones updated to be able to have service at our houses. I am moving and I have one to no bars when i go out there. It would be really good if i could be able to update the towers/phone to where they will be able to have service. I have a small one and do not want a house phone so it is crucial that my cell phone works. Can anyone help me?

    If you dial *228 and select option 2, you will update your roaming capabilities.  This will download the latest PRL (Preferred Roaming List) to your phone.  It will tell your phone what towers are available in an area and which ones it should connect to.  You can update the PRL anywhere in the US that has Verizon coverage, there is only one nationwide master PRL as far as I'm aware.

    Hi,
    My EBS version is 11.5.10.2
    Can I cloning the ebs from SUSE Linux 9 to Oracle Linux 5?I belive you can not, you need to migrate your system. Please see:

  • Advantage of cloning the MAC Address?

    What's the advantage of cloning the MAC Address?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    There is no "advantage" of cloning the MAC address. The only advantage would be to have internet or not.
    In many cases, it is absolutely unnecessary to use the MAC address clone.If you have a working internet connection through your router then there is no need to use the MAC address clone function.
    Only when you find that you have a working internet connection on one computer directly on your modem but not when you connect through the router (or a different computer directly on the modem) then it is necessary to use the MAC address clone function.
    This usually is only the case with cable TV ISPs. They only allow you to have a single active internet connection at any time. They do this by remembering the MAC address which connects through a specific modem. If you first connect a computer for tests directly to your modem you'll have an internet connection. Now if you connect a different device to your modem it doesn't it's because the ISP has still locked the internet connection for the MAC address of the first computer.
    How to remove the lock depends on the ISP and the modem. Sometimes it's enough to reset the modem or to power down everything. Sometimes you have to power down everything for a few hours and after that the first connecting device is the one with the internet connection (i.e. make sure to connect the router then...) If you want to know exactly how your ISP does this you should ask them...
    The simple workaround is to use the MAC address clone function. The router "clones" the MAC address of the first computer, i.e. it basically pretends to be that computer. The MAC address is accepted by the ISP and is immediately allowed to the network. You have a working internet connection either directly on the first computer or through the router because both use the same MAC address. (It's no problem on the router because the MAC address is used on the internet port only...).
    Of course, you have to remember all this. If at some later time you connect a different computer directly to the modem (e.g. you have connection problems and you want to find out what's wrong) you may "lock" in a different MAC address for your connection and you'll have to wait again to regain the connection for a different device.
    But again: there is absolutely no need to use the clone function if you have a working internet connection through your router.

  • Problem while Creating Control files while Cloning the Oracle DB

    Hi,
    I am failrly new to Oracle Administration. I have got the task of cloning our Production database into a new machine. With the help of various articles found over the web I have followed the below mentioned steps
    1)Executed the Alter database command for getting the control file copy.
    2) Taken the Datafiles,Control and redo log files copies into the Target machine.
    3) Copied the Pfile with the neccessary changes into the target machine.
    4) Edited the Create Control file syntax (generated from step 1) and executed the same on the target machine.
    Now the problem I face is that I get the following error while executing the create Control file syntax
    a)ORA-01503 - Creation of Controlfile failed.
    b) ORA-00219 - Required controlfile size 41760 exceeds max allowable size 20000.
    I am really stuck. Both my machine configurations and O/S installed are the same.
    Please advice me on how to Proceed... Thanking you all in advannce.

  • Weird issue occurring after cloning the R12 Vision instance.

    Hi everyone,
    We are currently evaluating R12 using the Vision DB instance. Since I'm seeing that the apps processes like to have at least 2gb of memory, the initial server just isn't beefy enough for R12 so I cloned it over to a better server following metalink Note:406982.1 (Cloning Oracle Applications Release 12 with Rapid Clone)
    There were various cloning issues that came up that fortunately, I was able to resolve myself .. still with tarring up directories, ftp'ing the tar files, etc etc it took almost 2 days to finish the clone.
    Upon starting the clone I'm seeing the following errors reported when the db listener and the apps fndfs listener start:
    TNS-01114: LSNRCTL could not perform local OS authentication with the listener
    TNS-01115: OS error 22 creating shared memory segment of 129 bytes with key 2044160132
    However, the listener processes actually do start even though the above errors are reported and I verify that I can see the server processes for both. In addition, I can login to apps and do everything without any issues and login from sqlplus to the database remotely and everything appears to be working.
    But if I try to look at the listener status or try to stop either listener process I get the above errors. So, if I need to bounce the app or the db I have to actually kill the listener processes in order to do so. Then upon startup, the above situation repeats.
    So, I've opened a SR in regards to this as it appears to be a cloning bug. The only metalink hits I found were talking about the shmsys:shminfo_shmmni setting (currently at 200) but I don't think that's it since I've had 6 apps instances up and running on this particular server before.
    Currently the R12 Vision instance is running with RUP 1 applied. I did see there was a new Techstack update and a new RUP 2 update for apps released just last week but thought I would ask if anyone else who's used rapid clone with R12 experienced similiar issue?
    Thanks.

    I am usually seen on the on ramps with a sign that says will clone for food...
    I think your perl version is a little low for R12. Here is what I have in an upgraded R12 from 11.5.10.2 Vision:

    I was clearing 150 GB for an Oracle Enterprise Linux VM for installing/cloning 11i or R12 into, so I will clone a scratch R12.0.2 upgrade instance there. The prepare scripts completed without error, and the cpios are running now.

    Yes, mythtv is fantastic. I also like mythvideo and mytharchive. I needed to move unneeded backups and edelivery downloads to make room for recordings...
