Erasing data from hd to give old computer away, will the bootcamp partition remain?

I'm erasing the data off of my old mac for use for my dad. I recently switched to a macbook pro so the files on the old computer are already switched to my current computer. He wants to keep the bootcamp of windows 7 on my computer. Is this possible and if it is, how do I wipe my windows seperately?

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

When I synch my iPhone to new computer, will it erase data from my apps?

Hi everyone. I recorded number of interviews using Voice Memos o iPhone. I want to transfer them to my Macbook but my iPhone is sync-ed with my old computer. To synchronize it with the new one, it says it will erase data from iPhone and replace it with the current iTunes library. My question is - will only iTunes data be earsed or everything on iPhone? In other words, is my data in Voice Memos safe if I go ahead with synch? I am backing-up iPhone to iCloud. I really need to transfer these interviews to my Mac, and have been trying to find an answer for a while...

im going through the same problem here please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I transfer data from my Ipad4 to my computer

I just purchased a lighting to usb cable so I could transfer data from my ipad to my computer. All I can seem to get is the photos on my ipad. I would like to transfer emails and other applications so I can have it on my main computer. How do I do that?

You can use the cable that you use for charging your iPad to connect it to your computer's USB port, you didn't need a second cable.
If you want to copy your iTunes downloads (apps, music, films, ibooks etc) to that computer then connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. As well as copying actual ibooks downloaded from iTunes that will also copy epubs and PDFs that are in the iBooks app on your iPad (assuming that you have iBooks on your iPad) - they will copy over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it then you can copy them to the iBooks app on your Mac via ,in the iBooks app, File > Move Books From iTunes).
If you haven't synced your iPad to that computer before you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
For emails, are they not stored on your email provider's servers ?

How to completely erase data from iPod touch 4th generation

how to compelety erase data from ipod touch 4th gen?

I have an old ipod and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else.

I have an old ipod (it's the very thin oblong one in purple, the one before the one that does video) and want to know how to get everything off it and into my iTunes library. My old computer died and the original library was lost, so don't have any of the content saved anywhere else. I now have an iPhone 5S and listen to music on that, so want to be able to listen to things from the old ipod too.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks very much
Jane

Apple normally does not get involved in handling lost objects like this. Since a real name is not installed it will be much more difficult.
You can try contacting Apple support at the US number, assume you are US going to BWI from the listing: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and explain the situation and see if they offer any suggestions.

When I transfer photos from my camera to my computer, where does the computer store them?

When I transfer photos from my camera to my computer, where does the computer store them?

Assuming you're using iPhoto 09 or later.
By default the photos are stored in the iPhoto Library in your Pictures Folder.
The iPhoto Library is a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. This is a simple protection from users inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Want to look inside? Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Standard Warning: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things,, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
As an FYI: There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

i just buy a new iphone 4S, i wanna sync my data from 3GS to new iphone but i forget the password for the 3GS

Connect your 3GS in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server

HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..

Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,
Nishant Tatkar.

I need to pass data from an Access database to Teststand by using the built in Data step types(open data

base /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1i need to pass data from an Access database to Teststand by using the built in Data step types(open database /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1
When I tried the same thing on another cmputer the same thing
happend
appreiciate u"r help

base /open SQL Statement etc) the first time i defined the system everything was fine but when i changed the Database (using M.S.Access) the " open SQL Statement" it would show the tables but not thier columns ,I"m using win98 sec edition / Teststand 1.0.1Hello Kitty -
Certainly it is unusual that you can still see the tables available in your MS Access database but cannot see the columns? I am assuming you are configuring an Open Statement step and are trying to use the ring-control to select columns from your table?
Can you tell me more about the changes you made to your file when you 'changed' it with MS Access? What version of Access are you using? What happens if you try and manually type in an 'Open Statement Dialog's SQL string such as...
"SELECT UUT_RESULT.TEST_SOCKET_INDEX, UUT_RESULT.UUT_STATUS, UUT_RESULT.START_DATE_TIME FROM UUT_RESULT"
Is it able to find the columns even if it can't display them? I am worried that maybe you are using a version of MS Access that is too new for the version of TestSt
and you are running. Has anything else changed aside from the file you are editing?

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

How do I transfer music from my ipod to my computer without replacing the music on my ipod with the music on my computer?

You can't do that with iTunes (except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer songs files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
Once the songs files are on your computer, add them to your iTunes library. Then, you can sync your iPod to that iTunes library, as desired.
