Connection to use for migration from older intel iMac to newest iMac (2013)

I have a new iMac on order and since it does not have firewire ports I am wondering what to use for content migration connection from the old (20 inch iMac) to the new one.
Is my only opion a USB cable?

I chose Setup Assistant because of advice I was given here, actually. Both Setup Assistant and Migration Assistant work well, but I didn't want any hassles than can ensue with Migration Assistant if you enter a username during the initial setup process that's the same name as what you'll be bringing over with Migration Assistant.
Using Setup Assistant all of my preferences seemed to make the move just fine. I had to arrange Apple Mail the way I had it before, but that was quick and easy. Even my Dock, which I had on the left side of my screen, appeared in the same location on my new iMac.
(Your mileage may vary...  ).

  • Can Migration work bench be used to migrate from Informix to

    Hi,
    Can Migration Workbench be used to migrate from Informix to

    Peddu,
    Informix support is planned, but will not be available in the
    near future.
    Less user-friendly script based kits for informix and other
    databases can be downloaded from the OTN Migration Technology
    section.
    Hope that helps,

  • Migrating from older iMac to new 24"

    In two days I'll be receiving my new 3.6 GHz, 24" iMac...and needless to say...I'm excited! I only briefly and occasionally have seen reference to migration. Should I go ahead and use the migration assistant? And if I use that utility, can you pick and choose what you want to migrate...or does just everything cross over?
    Appreciate help from anyone.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Akhil,
    Looks like some Tuxedo services are using Pro*C code. Therefore, you would need to recompile your Pro*C code using the newer compiler and then rebuild the Tuxedo servers.

  • Advice for migrating from Exchange to OS X Server

    I am in the process of migrating away from Microsoft products altogether. The biggest beast of all is going to be Exchange.
    I am looking at imapsync as a possible method of migrating user mailboxes. Is there anyone here who has undergone this task? Are there any better solutions out there for migrating the mailboxes over?
    Thanks in advance.

    slopresto wrote:
    Is it really that problematic?
    I am supporting (begrudgingly) a number of OS X Mail servers. What Apple has up to now has not been very good. No vacation messaging without rolling your own add-in, weak web mail interface, poor integration with other Apple products (iPhone), randomly corrupted databases for no apparent reason, the inability to maintain read/not read status on reconstruct or migration, poor spam handling, no migration tools. I call it the problem of the week. I got a new one today. Unlike any other problem ever seen so far. And it effects one account only. I will admit that I am just tired of it. Does it work. Mostly. But there are better solutions on the platform than the built in solution. Now, this "may" change when Snow Leopard is released. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/13/snowleopard_server_to_ramp_up_scalability_andperformance.html which I can not confirm nor deny.
    I have used straight postfix on Linux before with only an occasional problem, but never in a corporate environment.
    Sadly, this is postfix on OS X, not postfix on Linux. As sad as this is to say, there is a difference and the difference is not in favor of OS X.
    My boss, on the other hand has been a Mac guy for 10+ years and assures me that I will be impressed by the performance gains and lack of issues we will have by switching over from Microsoft products.
    You will have gains. You will not be tied to licensing fees. You will not be plagued by the intricacies of an Exchange server and its myriad of updates, patches, tweaks, and adjustments. Heck, you will not have to reboot the machine every week to keep it from crashing. OS X has a lot of advantages over Windows in a server environment. OS X has a lot of really good services that are rock solid (BIND, Apache, racoon, the dev tools, Apple File Services (yes, I said it, it is a really good filing protocol!), Podcast server, wikis, directory services, chat server...) that make the OS X a swiss army knife of sorts. But in my experience, mail has been an afterthought and generally more trouble than it is worth.
    As a side note, I should mention that Apple did pull off some real magic with the one checkbox mail cluster. I you have an Xsan and are load balancing your mail servers, the setup is beyond easy. There, I said something nice.
    Is there anyone out there who has done this successfully and may perhaps know of an easy method of migrating the mailboxes in. Right now, it is a toss up between imapsync and doing a straight import via Outlook using their pst files from the nightly exmerge.
    There are methods of doing the migration. If you decide to import via Outlook, I suggest doing a rule based move. If you do a drag and drop, the IMAP connection will likely drop after a few hundred messages and then you have no idea where it stopped. Create a rule to do the move. It will take longer but the time lost to frustration and manually finding where the copy stopped equals out.
    Good luck in your migration. I am sorry if I came down negative. OS X Server is a great product. I just have a lot of criticism about the mail implementation. I will say, I am looking forward to September a bit as my opinion may change.

  • Resources for migration from legacy Cisco VPN client to AnyConnect?

    As the legacy client is now officially EOL'd, and it is having issues with Windows 7 - the need has presented itself to migrate to AnyConnect. 
    The complicating issue here is that many of the machines that need to be migrated connect remotely and never touch a corporate LAN - as such - I need to devise a means to remotely and seamlessly (as much as possible) migrate from old to new.  Sounds a bit like changing the wings on a flying plane, but I'm guessing others have had to face the same issue.  By procrastinating this migration - my hope is that your blood spilled will be mine saved?  (Just kidding. Sorta). 
    Any tips, input, suggestion, procedures, FAQs,  good luck wishes, etc. greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    JP

    Hi Andy
    Anyconnect licensing is a little complicated, but 99% of the time you only need the "Essentials" AnyConnect license for your ASAs. This gives you everything that you have using the old Cisco VPN Client.
    Essentials is licensed per ASA, and not per user like the other ASA AnyConnect licenses.
    AnyConnect Premium gives you all that Essentials give you plus "clientless" VPN (Web portal type stuff).
    Configuration wize - it's pretty simple and similar to how you configure the old VPN support. There's a wizard to assist you in configuring it if you like that kind of thing.

  • Migration from linux intel 32bit to linux AMD_Opteron 64bit

    Hi,
    I'm trying to duplicate an instance from a 10.2.0.2 intel 32 server to an opteron 64bit (10.2.0.3).
    Which are the options?
    If I take an Rman Backup and I try the Restore I can't open the destination db.
    If I issue a startup migrate and then I run the catupgrd.sql script I get the error
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION version_script
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [56319], [], [], [], [], [], [],
    ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [56319]
    If this depends from the platform migration, maybe the only option is to use export/import?
    Thanks.

    Hi, the OS is RedHat3 on the source database and RedHat5 on the destination database.
    I would have preferred to use the backup/restore but, since I have found several issues on the migration from 32bit to 64bit, I think I will use the export/import path to move data.

  • What t_code should be used for migration?

    Hello there,
    our user wants to  migrate  "output vat" account after being audited.
    actually , they start using SAP from 1st. January.2009 but now needs to migrate for reconciliation purpose.
    Journal should be 40) output VAT   /      50) Beginning Balance-BS.
    Since this output VAT does not need any tax code and base amount, i think normal FI transaction like F-02 is not an answer.
    Furthermore, LSMW is not strongly recommended at this time, considering line item to be created.
    Could you let me know what t_code should be used for this case?
    BR.
