Computer to Computer Data Transfer Script

Hi Guys,
We have a new customer that wants to transfer specific data (My Documents from D:, Desktop, Favorites, Dictionary and Signatures from C:) from old computer to new computer over network logged in as user. We have existing scripts that backup to server
starting with VBscript that prompts for user name and then it kicks off a batch file that has all files to copied from computer to server. For restore to new computer, we have another script restores from server.
I'm looking to create a VBscript that can run from flash drive and detects source computer it's run from. Then a box to appear that prompts "Enter Username" and "Enter Destination Computer Name". Once info is entered, a batch file that
has all files to be copied from Source to Destination, eg D:\My Documents, C:\Users\username\Desktop, C:\Users\username\Favorites, C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\UProof, C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Signatures.
I found some scripting online but can seem to piece together anything that works. I am new to the scripting world and would appreciate any assistance I can get.
Thank you!!

That utility is built into Windows. It is the migration wizard. It will migrate across network, able or via files.

You can also use the USMT for domain migrations.
If you are not a technician or are not trained in Windows desktop administration then you might ask your system administrator or vendor for help in using Windows. Windows has had builtin migration tools that do exactly what you ask since Windows XP.
If you are just a user and this is home system then as here:

Computer to Computer Data Transfer Without FireWire

When I went from the original iBook to the first generation MacBook, all the data from the older computer got flawlessly transferred to the new laptop using FireWire.
How is one supposed to transfer information from an earlier MacBook to a newer model MacBook now that they are limited to having USB ports only? (I do not want the updated white MacBook that does retain FireWire, nor do I otherwise require the MacBook Pro - which also kept FireWire.)
Curious to hear how others are planning to transfer their data.
Thanks.

You "can" use Ethernet networking and file sharing to transfer data. Select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for 'file sharing.' If you have a home network just connect your MacBook to your home network either wirelessly or via Ethernet cable. If you don't have a home network then you can connect the two computers with an Ethernet cable or using wireless.
Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment.
The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned by letting me fix a non-booting Mac.

Data Transfer to NEW computer--how to??

Hello all!!
Received just today a new Powerbook and was about to start the transfer of data and other "stuff" from my old computer (800 MHz flat-panel iMac) to the new computer.
With regard to APPLICATIONS, as I have been told before, I will be installing any applications FRESH on the new computer and will set the preferences and other information as needed once installed.
With regard to other "regular DATA"...Word files, MP3 files, text files, PDFs, image files, etc...the NON-application/NON-system files. Is there a special way that I should go about with the data transfer other than simply hooking p the computers via Firewire and dragging the data files to the new location on the new computer?
The amount of data I will be transferring will probably be in the range of 10 to 20 GB.
Also, while I'm doing this data transfer...before, during or after...once I have transfer this information to the new computer file locations, should I be doing a permissions repair or defrag or other "cleanup" operation??
Thanks for your help!!
Scott

Hi, Scott. The time to make sure both your Macs are in perfect order is before you transfer your files. On each Mac, boot to your OS installer CD or DVD and Repair Disk, repeating the routine until you get two successive "Appears OK" verdicts. Then reboot to your hard drive and Repair Permissions. Then use the Terminal or MacJanitor to force the daily, weekly and monthly background maintenance tasks to be performed. These steps should assure that your data and your HD directories are in good shape before you transfer your files.
It can't hurt to repair permissions again on the new drive after you copy the files to it, but it probably isn't really necessary. Be sure to copy them to the same places on your new PB's HD that they occupied on the old one, if the same OS version and applications will be installed on both machines.
Nothing that you copy will be fragmented after it arrives on the new machine, and Tiger will take care of most fragmentation that occurs later without needing any help from you.

[Solved]Computer slow down and freeze during data transfer syncing

Hello,
Everytime I make a data transfer, my computer slow down, and sometimes freeze during a few seconds, work for a fraction of seconds and freeze again. I don"t understand why.
As an example, here is a bench of files i transfered during a syncing with Grsync
It took about 12h to sync 64Gb.
I've read a lot of topics talking about this problem but nothing works. I tried to switch off the SWAP and setting the vm.dirty_ratio and vm.background_dirty_ratio but nothing works.
I'm making the trasfer between two Western Digital USB 2.0 external hard drive in NTFS.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance

It seems it was beacause one of my external hard drive was about to die. I performed the same operation with 2 Western Digital external hard drive 1To USB3 and it works perfectly.

Trouble with "data transfer" from old computer. Cannot open documents. Please help! Thank you.

Apple did a "data transfer" from our old computer onto our new iMac, and we cannot open any of our old documents that were "transfered." When I open them in "TextEdit," all I get is a lot of random letters and symbols. I've tried everything, please help. Thank you!

What old documents, you need to be much more specific. The info we are loooking for is what app created them, what the file extension is etc...

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?

How do I get the sync of my 3GS on my computer to transfer everything (files, apps, etc.) to my new iphone4? And then how do I move the sync to a newer computer so I can sync the new phone with the new computer?
My 3GS is dying and it's synced to an older computer. I have tons of datafiles as well as apps, music, text messages, etc. that I need to get moved to the new iphone4 I'm getting. Then I need to move the sync to a newer computer so that I can sync the new phone and new computer.
I understand how to get my apps to transfer to a new pc. That's not the issue. It's getting ALL the data from the 3GS to the 4 and then to a new computer.
Thanks.

Thanks much, that's very helpful for step one (getting old phone onto new phone). Very clear.
However, I still have the problem of moving to the new computer. How do I move the sync to the new computer after the new phone is set up?

Show current month's calendar based on computer date

As a page loads, is it possible to check the computer date
and display the current month's calendar (specialized with events),
either on the same page or on a separate page?
Any help would be appreciated,

You can adapt this script to do that:

It doesn't quite work that way. Transfer your music from the old computer to the new one. Then, sync the iPod.

Chart in pivot table not shows computed data

[related thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=945178]
!http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4729/asuifuadsfuiasduifuasdf.jpg!
in the example above,
"market" is put on the "rows"
"brand" is put on the "columns"
"value" is put on the "measures", and set "Show Data As -> Percent Of -> Row" for measure "value"
the table of the pivot table shows correct computed data
but why does not the chart show by computed data (percentage)????
is there any setting to show in term of percentage.
or any alternatives to achieve the goal (show in term of percentage) ????????????
thank you very much!!!

When you chart pivoted results, what type of chart are you using? You may not be able to display marketwise % in a bar chart. You may want to try out the pie chart where you can display marketwise % values.

TS1424 Message "your request could not be completed...make sure computer date is correct and will accept cookies from ITunes Store"

Attempting to purchase music on ITunes Store which I have done for years, now get message "your request could not be completed, make sure your computer date is correct and computer accepts cookies from ITunes Store." I have changed nothing. Of course the date and time are correct and my browser accepts cookies.

Now the apple support team won't even e-mail me back. Not even saying no. This is rediculus.

My online purchase of IMac is scheduled for delivery to apple store for pickup tomorrow . Do I need an appt . on the day of pick up to bring in my old desk top computer to transfer and set up new IMac?

My online purchase of new 21.5 IMac is scheduled for delivery to apple store for pickup tomorrow . I have purchased Apple one to one care. Do I need to schedule an appointment with apple genius on the day of pick up to bring in my old desk top computer to transfer and set up new IMac?

Usually I would think so.
Note, if your old Mac or any of your old applications are pre-2006, see this tip.

Otherwise the transfer may not be as smooth as you desire.
