How to copy tags preferences to another mac

Hi I have spent some time setting up my preferences for "Tags" in Mavericks on a MacBook.
Does anyone know a way I can copy this setup to another Mac without having to key in all the Tag names and assign Colours again?
Thanks in advance

Tags are metadata. So, if you copy a tagged file to another computer through a media "metadata aware", those informations are transferred transparently. Media is an abstraction for disk, network or whatever is used as a mean of transport.
You can visualize tags associated to a file via the command line with the xattr command
xattr -p com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags MyTaggedFile | xxd -r -p | plutil -convert xml1 - -o -
Change MyTaggedFile with a filename you tagged to display the result.
Or copy the tags assigned to file1 to a second file, file2
xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags "$(xattr -px com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags file1)" file2;xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo "$(xattr -px com.apple.FinderInfo file1)" file2

How do I transfer my copy of Mainstage to another Mac?

I bought MainStage from Apple last year and ran it for live purposes on my MacBook Pro, but I want to use it on my Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Mac Pro now.
I can't find an "installer" on the MacBook Pro… just the application file itself and when I copy it over to the Mac Pro (tower) it won't launch as it says it's 'incomplete' or 'damaged'.
Can anyone recommend a way to move the prgramme across?

Did you purchase it from the App Store? If so log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it previously, go to the Purfhases section and look for it there. You should be able to download and install again.

Copying Production Database to another location

Hi,
We are currently upgrading to a 11g and as part of the process I need to copy our production server 10g to our new hardware. I want to carry out a couple of dry runs to get timings and test the process. I will be keeping the same SID.
Are there steps I can take to isolate the copied oracle database to ensure it does not try communicate with any other systems.
I come from an SAP background and in SAP there are a number of steps to isolate a system. I'm looking for similar steps that would be used in oracle e.g.
stop job scheduler
stop all inbound and outbound communication
Lock interactive users
Stop outbound email
etc...
Thanks
Jim

Somwhat dependent on your method of creating the new database on the new server, but if you don't start a listener on that server, no one that is not directly logged on to that server will be able to connect to the database. As for outbound connections from the database, you might have to get a bit creative, depending on where and how the outbound connections are defined. I'd start by not haveing a working tnsnames.ora file. Then check the defintions of any db links in the existing database. If they hard-coded destinations, make sure those destinations are un-resolveable/unreachable from the new server. I wouldn't worry about the job scheduler during the dry run. As long as there is no outside communication from them, who cares if they run? With the listener shut down, no outside users can connect, so no reason to lock user accounts.
Perhaps you could cover all bases at once by simply configuring the firewall on the new server to disallow any communication at all ...

Copying iPhoto Library to another Mac

I tried to copying my (12 GB) iPhoto Library folder from my 27 inch iMac to an external hard disc to use same library in my 15 inch MacBook Pro for many times but a message telling me that the file is to large to be transferred to my external HDD.
anyone another way to do so, please tell me.
Thank you,,,

You would reformat the drive with Disk Utility. It needs to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that reformatting will erase the drive, so back up first. Also, WIndow machines will not be able to read the drive afterwards.

How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

Hi refalci,
The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.
Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
Open the Safari application, then:
Export bookmarks:
Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
Import bookmarks:
Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
Hope that helps ...

Copy Master Database To Another Instance

At our instasllation we have copied the Master database across instances with success. This makes migrations much easier and it has never caused any issues. However I am concerned whether this is officially supported and if there may be something we are
not considering that may cause issues in the future. Of course the source and destination SQL Server instances are the same OS and SQL Server versions and the paths of all databases are the same.
Thank you for your help
Scott

Hi,
I think this method can be used when the backup restore method does not work because of the original database files were corrupted or missing.

How to get mail prefs and emails to another Mac?

Hi,
How do I take all my accounts and emails to another Mac? Just copying the ~/library/mail folder doesn't copy the account data. When I copy that folder to another Mac, Mail does not recognize the account data.

Hi current,
In addition to ~/Library/Mail, copy over ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
Then launch Mail. If it asks to import anything, decline.

Can I download iPhoto from another Mac?

Hi guys,
I have an iMac running Mavericks, and also a MacBook Pro 2011. I accidentally deleted iPhoto on the iMac, and since iPhoto comes pre-installed, I have it on the MacBook Pro. Do you think it is a good idea for me to copy the .app file and place it in my Applications directory on the iMac?
I just don't want there to be any problems if I do this.
Thanks

As long as you properly accepted the iLife apps into your Mac App Store account (you should see them with all the other apps in the Purchases list) when you first configured the new Mac, then there should be no issue copying the app to another Mac that you own or control.

IBook died. Panthr. Can to save/transfr info to another Mac? with Tiger?

Let's say a person for some reason didn't have a back up.
And then his iBook G4 stopped working and was advised not worth fixing cuz could buy a better, upgraded, but used Mac computer.
Can his info, all his docs and bookmarks and favorites, etc., everything, still be transfered from broke iBook to another Mac (a better mac, tho used.)?
Just take out the hard disc with all the info and somehow transfer that to a better mac?
And could he do that even tho his old Mac was Panther, and if a replacement mac had Tiger or Leopard on it? Would that work? Or would he have to remove Tiger or Leopard from the newer Mac and replace it with Panther to accept transfer of his older contents. And then assume he would have to go through normal upgrade procedures from Panther.
Oh, he's so confused.
But so thankful for your help.

Some of the answers depends upon the "better mac". The other big question is why did the other computer die? Was it the drive that failed, in which case there is no point?
To keep it simple, in all likelihood you couldn't just swap the drives and expect it to boot another computer unless the new one happened to be identical to the first. What would be easy would be to put that drive into an external enclosure, or get one of those adapter things that don't need an enclosure, and copy off all your files, or just turn it into an external drive for backup, etc. Since this drive is coming from a laptop I don't think it will fit in a desktop without an adapter, and laptops don't have room for two drives (I don't think, never having owned one myself). You can have two drives attached to a computer, or even in a computer. The format of your old drive is compatible with Tiger and Leopard for the purposes of reading files, but as I said before I wouldn't try to boot from it, especially not if the new computer is a new Intel machine.
If it were me, I would get an external firewire enclosure, and put the drive in it. I would then attach it to my new computer and copy off my data files. I would then wipe the old drive and use it for backup or data storage. Some of this will also depend upon the size of the old drive. If it is a 20GB drive it is hardly worth the trouble of continuing to use it and the expense of an enclosure and I would just find (maybe borrow) a suitable enclosure for long enough to copy off data files.
