DS5.2 - moving to a new supplier

I've been tasked with migrating our two existing suppliers onto new servers and I'm wondering whether there are any problems I haven't considered?
The basics are that the OS and DS version will remain the same but DNS and port numbers will change. It is simply moving to faster servers to improve performance.
The problems I have thought of:
- How to register each consumer against the new config server? I'm assuming I can export this via ldif from the existing config supplier and (after modification if necessary) import into the new config server.
- Manual editing of the consumer dse.ldif files may be required to update references to the old servers with the new ones.
Is there anything else obvious that I've missed? Anyone attempted this type of operation before and hit any problems?
Thanks,
Mark.

Moved to a new Mac - iTunes Media horro

Hi,
this drives me crazy: I moved to a new mac and can not get my iTunes to work.
iTunes just does not find my media files.
My old setup on a PowerMacG4 was:
folder iTunes with libraries in my home folder, but the music was on another volume
So inside the "iTunes Music Library.xml" (thats how it is named in the old iTunes) there is the entry
<key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/</string>
pointing to the folder on the volume where my media files are.
Every media file has an entry in the xml, where the key "Location" points to the exact folder the file is located, e.g.
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/Alexandra/Die%2 0Legende%20einer%20Sa%CC%88ngerin/Mein%20Freund,%20der%20Baum.MP3</string>
I used "Migration Assistant" to move data from old disks to the new mac. Having connected the old volume blabla new iTunes found the files.
Having renamed the volume blabla iTunes still found the files and replaced all Location references. Magic?
So i copied all the media to my new mac to a new location and told iTunes (prefernece location of iTunes media) where my media files are.
Does not work. It still believes the file are on volume blabla. It never looks into te files copied to the new location!
Hmmm, so i looked inside the "iTunes Library.xml": The "Music Folder" is set correctly, but the files location points to the old volume.
Doing a replace for all locations in the xml doesn't work either, probably the itl-file holds the same information?
If i start iTunes again, it ovewrites all my changes made to the xml.
Not giving up yet, because I have read that if the itl is invalid, it gets rebuild from the xml i zap the itl and start itunes again. -> no more media files in the library.
I do not understand where iTunes stores its information, why there are two Library files (itl and xml) and which one is leading.
Please: how can i get itunes to recognize my media files.
This is the worst interface I've ever seen. I only want to move my media files and iTunes just does not let me do it :-(

The iTunes Library.itl file holds the key information. The .xml file is for third party support. If you have access to a working version of the library on the old machine then you can use the process in this thread to make your split library portable. Since the media has already been copied over you would then just need to copy the library files again while putting everything into the correct layout.
If that isn't possible it may be that you can trigger iTunes into fixing your broken links. Having set the media folder to the correct path in preferences, highlight a single broken tracks and attempt to Get Info. When iTunes complains the tracks is missing use the option to locate the track. iTunes should offer to attempt to fix other broken links based on the path to this one.

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

Moved to a new address - Activate without a Technician?

I moved to a new apartment within the same building as my old apartment. The apartments are FiOS Ready, so I don't have to worry about running wires, installing an ONT, etc. In fact, the apartments were wired with ethernet ports specifically for FiOS when they were built, and I have already identified and configured the switch in the closet/ wall which controls which ethernet port in the various rooms is used for FiOS.
I've terminated and moved my FiOS service from my old apartment to my new apartment via My Verizon already. However, the soonest date the online scheduler listed to have a technician come out is a week from now (which I've scheduled). It is completely unacceptable for me to be without internet for a week.
Can I activate my moved FiOS service without a technician needing to come?

You will need to call customer service and see if they can change you to a self install or change your tech date. either way you need customer service.

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?

Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
Did you use this extension?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.

SoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot

NSoundBlaster X-Fi Driver Installation Fails After Moving Soundcard to New Slot4 I recently moved my X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard to a different PCI slot to accommodate my new large PCIE graphics card.
Prior to moving the card, my?original SoundBlaster install went fine without any trouble. When I booted up after relocating the card,?it was not detected at all. So I uninstalled my SoundBlaster driver software and?rebooted the computer?thinking that was necessary to clear any hardware configuration settings from the old install. This made no difference. I then discovered my card was not seated properly and corrected it.
Next I installed the SoundBlaster driver software. The installation proceeded and finished with a request to restart the computer. Once I did, the computer detects my card and starts the hardware installation wizard asking if I want Windows to search online for driver software. It does not recognize the just installed SoundBlaster driver installation. I have a dual boot setup and this happens in both WinXP Pro and Vista 32 Home Premium.
What's wrong here?

Forget it folks...couldn't wait for any suggestions so I just cleaned off my hard dri've and reinstalled everything. Works fine.

Hi there, I moved to a new country (Luxembourg ), my previous card is not working anymore, I am trying to change country and region but it looks like the option is not available, could you support on the issue please ? Thx ahead, Corneliu

Moved to a new MacBook Pro

I just bought a new macbook pro and moved my aperture library over using a vault I had for backup. The only problem is that it also restored all of the thumbnails of pictures that I have deleted. The thumbnail has a picture and says unable to locate master. How do I delete all of the thumbnails? I all ready did the rebuild of the library and all it did was mess up all of my events and projects and put everything in one folder. Thanks in advance!

New laptop box, good time to reconfigure to a *Referenced Masters Library*. Since you are having problems transferring, consider converting to Referenced Masters before moving to the new box. The Library will suddenly become a civilized size.
Originals should be backed up before import into Aperture or any other app anyway. A Managed-Masters-Library not only gets itself overly large, having Masters in Vaults just makes Vaults huge and Vault backups slower, and therefore less likely to be done as frequently. Also any time one is dealing with a huge digital chunk (like a Managed-Masters Vault) it is much more likely to be problematic than a small digital chunk would be.

Oracle database reorganization (moving datafiles to new filesystems)

Hi All,
We are planning to perform a database reorganization (moving datafiles to new filesystems) in our Production environment using SAPDBA.
We had noticed in our recent performance reports that few datafiles in some of the SAPDATAxx filesystems are having higher I/O contention and are putting heavy load on those filesystems resulting in poor performance. So, we had identified the datafiles and planning to move them to new SAPDATA filesystems (uniformly distribute the datafiles to stabilize the I/O). Below are the version information.
SAP: 3.0F
Oracle: 9.2.0.8
OS: HP-UX 11.23
SAPDBA: 6.20
I'm going through SAP notes and Oracle documentation on this.Can you please share your experiences if similar activity was carried out by any of you and the documents relating to this.
Your inputs on this is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Vasu

If your goal is just to make use of new storage, it is fairly straightforward and quick to move the datafiles as others mentioned. However, moving the datafile will NOT reorganize tables/tablespaces.
You can optionally reorg tables/tablespaces in addition to the move of datafiles. This generally saves space and helps performance. If you decide to reorg, I would suggest you move the datafiles to faster storage then reorg (since reorg itself is highly IO intensive).
Some points to consider:
- perform the reorg when business use is least
- perform online reorg where possible
- online reorg creates temporary snaps, typically in the users default tablespace, make sure it has sufficient space
- start with small tables/tablespaces first to get throughput estimate and also estimate of reduction in size
- estimate the size of target tablespace (how small it is going to be compared to source) and build the target tablespace smaller to avoid wasting space
- watch the space usage of the target tablespace when the reorg is running
- if you are reorging individual tables, make sure the indexes are rebuilt
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Shan

My Ebony magazine and Time magazine are not moved to my News stand

I just installed iOS 5 and it installed perfectly with no hassles. I am just wondering why some of my magazines are not moved to the News Stand.
Time magazine and Ebony are still where they were omly GQ and Readers' Digest moved.
What should I do to move them to the News Stand?

Same with the Wall Street Journal. I know it will eventually get into Newzstand, but until then, I'm going to act like a disgruntled user and complain loudly on these boards! Whine!!!!!

Moving to a new mac, what is the painless way to transfer contents of one m

Moving to a new mac and I'm pretty sure about how to go about doing it but thought I'd ask. Can I connect a firewire cable from old mac to new mac, connect network wise and take the home folder from the old computer and place it in the new home folder of my new mac? will this copy all my info from my old mac to my new mac and place everything in it's appropriate folder? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I would suggest you use the built-in application called Migration Assistant to transfer you data.
The first time you start up your new Mac, a screen will prompt you as to whether you'd like to transfer your data from your old mac. At that point you start up the old mac in target mode and connect it via Firewire to the new Mac. Then just follow the directions to transfer your data.
You can also choose to do the transfer at a later time. The Migration Assistant is always available in the /Applications/Utilities folder.
I strongly recommend against simply transfering your home folder from one computer to the other.
