File-transfer question?

Hi. Ive just gotten an imac G5 and am getting ready to transfer some info from my old G3 (10.2.8) to the new mac. I'm a bit confused regarding the methods of transfer. My understanding is that the 2 most common methods are to either use a firewire cable with apples "set-up" or "migration" assistant.....or.......use a ethernet crossover cable. I have both these cables but am wondering which method would best suit my purpose. If possible, I'd like to transfer my e-mails over from the older mac as well as my Internet Explorer "favorites' however noticed that int. explorer is'nt even installed on the new mac so wondering what to do? Secondly....wondering if its possible to transfer an earlier version of imovie over (imovie2) and have the 2 versions exist on the same mac (if so would it just be easier to install from the CD)..........and lastly what about 3rd party software....better to try to transfer via cables or install from a CD? Thanks for any advice regarding this

Bruce,
Your best bet is to use the firewire connection and 'target disc mode'. Connect the two computers and hold down the 'T' key on start up of the old Mac and the hard drive will appear on the desk top of your new one. In most cases it is best to install third party software from a CD/DVD to avoid any chance of corrupt or missing files. With iMovie2 you can have the two versions running on the same Mac, although, the difference between IM2 and IMHD are like chalk and cheese. Create an archive of iMovie2 on the old mac and drag it onto the new one after target disc is engaged. Open it up and drop it into your apps folder. I'm not sure about your IE favorites. You may be able to download and install IE, but it probably is not a good idea as it is no longer support by Mac. I have transfered bookmarks by copy/pasting the addresses to an MS Word document and emailing the document. Then just open each address an add it to your Safari favorites. There is probably an easier way to do it, but it works for me.
Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Yes, you need to map the reader on your printer to your network as a normal drive. Please use the following instructions:

  • SSL File transfer Question Any Hints!!

    Hey all, i need to write code to implement this. Vert recently learned the basics behind java. Any hints how to get started. Please
    Regards
    Mark
    the micro-SSL protocol
    A asks B for B?s public key (RSA)
    B responds with the public key (n,e)
    A uses (n,e) to RSA-encrypt a symmetric (block cipher) key (k), giving (K)
    A sends (K) to B
    B acknowledges receipt of (K)
    B uses the private key (n,d) to decrypt (K) giving (k)
    A opens the file to be sent
    A sends message to B to open a new file
    B opens a new file
    B acknowledges receipt of message
    Repeat
    A gets next block of data from file
    A encrypts this by XORing with k
    A sends result to B
    B acknowledges receipt of encrypted block
    B decrypts by XORing with k
    B writes decrypted block to file
    Until no more blocks to send
    A closes input file
    A sends message to B to finish
    B closes output file
    B acknowledges receipt of message
    B finishes
    A finishes
    NOTE: For convenience in doing the calculations, you can restrict the number sizes as follows:
    ? Factors p,q 8 bits
    ? Modulus n 16 bits, leading bit 1
    ? k 16 bits, picked at random
    ? File type text, either 7 bit ASCII or 16 bit Unicode
    ? File blocks 16 bits
    ? B?s public key (n,e) and private key (n,d) can be set up in advance

    Hey HotJeny11,
    That would be great. My e-mail address is [email protected] i would really appreciate it if you could get in touch with me.

  • Questions on file transfer capabilities

    1. We have a need to move files (multi-mega bytes) from one Unix system to another. 'GetFile' and 'PutFile' seems to use Tidal Windows system as a go between. Is there a way to accomplish unix to unix file transfer without going through Tidal Windows system?
    2. When we execute a script using 'Execute Terminal Command' activity, the output of the execution is captured in the activity's 'output' buffer. Won't this buffer overflow when it attempts to capture multi-megabytes output? Assuming it overflows, is there an alternative? If it doesn't overflow, then is there a limit to the multi-megabytes that can be captured in the 'output' buffer?
    3. Does Tidal support browser based GUI?
    thanks.

    1. Probably need dev input on this... the activities do have to run on the orchestrator server
    2. the buffer should be ok I think, i've never seen anyone "break" it, but if you do, open a ticket and we can work with dev
    3. CPO has a web console. by default it should be @ :2081/TEOWebConsole">http://:2081/TEOWebConsole
    The webconsole is a "toned" down version of the master UI.

  • How to achieve the maximum file transfer rate from PXI to local host?

    I will have to copy a huge amount of data (as big as 50 GB) from a PXI-8106 unit on site to a laptop. Currently it would take several hours. It is critical to max out the data transfer rate.
    The standard method we've been using is just drag and drop using Windows Explorer via FTP. I tried to use FTP VIs with Filezilla Server as well but the transfer rate is only like 1.5 MB/s. Is this normal? Once I saw it was 3.0 MB/s but for some reason, that isn't happening now.
    For another option, I tried to transfer data to a USB flash drive but it's even slower. As far as I know, USB 2.0 transfer rate is supposed to be around 60 MB/s but why would it be slower than 1.5 MB/s? What could be the speed limiting factor in my file transfer setup?
    Any tips on improving file transfer rate would be appreciated!

    Sustained 40 MB/s? That is my dream speed! The maximum speed I've ever seen here was about 25 MB/s, which is still very good, and that happened only after copying back and forth, which I explained above. Let me go through what I did with screencaps first.
    These are the test tdms files to transfer in the PXI: an original file witten in the PXI and its copy file. I copied the original file from PXI to laptop and renamed it (added '_copy') and then copied it back to PXI.
    FTP module is transferring the original file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the low speed.
    FTP module is transferring the copy file to the Filezilla server on laptop. Note the higher speed.
    This is the FTP sub VI I'm using. It transfers files in sub-folders (one level lower), too. The data connection is set to 'passive' on the FTP Put Multiple Files VI but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I attach the sub VI.
    You tried the file transfer with a 500 MB text file. Would there be any difference if the file type was tdms? Would the RAM size matter? It is 2GB here.
    And the LED is orange, which means Gigabit.
    Another question: Is there any way to programmatically stop file transfer in progress? Currently, I just have to restart the PXI.
    Thank you!

  • When upgrading to OSX Yosemite do all my programs and files transfer over such as Office for mac, saved documents from word,excel,pics,pdf files,etc.etc...

    Will all my files transfer over (or stay) automatically right after upgrading to Yosemite or do I have to backup every single desired program or document? Question is do I HAVE to please if you can answer if its mandatory or not. Not looking for recommendations that I SHOULD back up or anything like that just want to know if it is mandatory to perform a backup to be able to keep or transfer all my current programs and apps and documents currently on my MB Pro Retina.

    Yes, upgrading to Yosemite will not touch your 3rd party apps or files in the Home folder.
    Although not mandatory you should have a a backup of your hard drive regardless if you upgrade to Yosemite or not.  To not have a backup is just playing  Russian roulette as there are only two types of hard drives;  those that have failed and those that will.

  • I woke up at 3am to find my MacBook Pro in the middle of a file transfer using AirDrop.

         I woke up at 3am to find my MacBook Pro in the middle of a file transfer using AirDrop. I had not accepted any file transfers via AirDrop as I was asleep so I am a bit confused by all the posts that say that the only way it will work is by the end user accepting a request to transfer files. I am on a home network which has both a soft and hard firewall. I checked my firewall logs and have no signs of intrusion or intrusion attempts. I checked my network map to see see if someone had brute forced my router and was using it but the only assets listed were mine. My router is set up to not be accessable from wireless computers, and is filtered to only allow use by a assets in the MAC Address list. I am an IT by trade but this is my first mac so I am not completely savy in the ways of the ways of macdom. I have found several posts with suggestions on how to turn off and came up with the following terminal command "defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser DisableAirDrop -boolean YES". My question is this, how is it possible that my AirDrop was activated and in the middle of a file tranfer if I did not initiate it? I do have a MacMini on my network but its WiFi is turned off so the transfer was not with it. I have read on different posts that you cannot AirDrop if the computer is not on the same network but there were no foreign assets on my network. So my question is this
    1. If AirDrop can not be used with another computer if it is not on the same network, how was it being used?
    2. How can AirDrop be used to xfer files if I did not accept or initate it?
         It seems to be a pretty big security hole to me. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

  • WebUtil file transfer in multiple user implementation

    Hi
    Installed WebUtil and able to integrate forms/reports in Web enviroenment 10gAs.
    Around 30 to 40 people will use this application, Now to do client side integration (To Save generated output to Cleint m/c) we are geerating file on AppServer and transferring using Webutil file transfer but my question if multiple users running same report from form and generates two different date ranges to generate to same file on Appserver, How Can I use WebUtil file tranfer for two people running same report. Is that going to be problem in concurrent user environment.
    Setup 10gAs, User A select report A and run with two different data ranges and file saved on Appserver as test.pdf and now user b want to run same report with time range little bit different time range and file has to be saved to same test.pdf on ApopServer, Now how oracle going to handle this ???????.
    Pl answer this is very important as we are running this reports in Web implementation with more than 30 users.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Surely the real issue is that you are always generating to the same filename? Incorporate an identifier into the filename. e.g. the username

  • Getting error in file transfer from one system to another system

    Hi All
    One of my client (User) wants to transfer his file from  SAP R/3 System SAP XI system. He is using a customize t-code ZFIR0325 (Trial balance report transfer to Hyperian System). When user execute the  program he is getting error "File Transfer Failed due to Network chk with Admin"
    I checked with Network team but they said it is okay from their side. We also check for authorization but there is no issue regarding authorization.
    Name of File Path of Aplication Server, XI destinaion and XI directory entered by user is correct.
    We also put authorization trace in XI System to RFC User (In file transfer from one system to another system this RFC User is geeing Used) but no authorization issue was found.
    Please help me to resolve this problem. I any detail require I will provide the same.

    Firstly, no one in the community can answer on how a custom transcation code and a program associated with it behaves.
    If there are no authorization issues in the system, you have to look at the exact error message. Look if your XI system is allowed to receive files from the SAP system.
    Unfortunately, you should do some more home work before putting your question here. If everything is fine and configured correctly, then the issue might be with the program.

  • Simple file to file transfer.  Pls advice urgent

    Hi All,
    I have Simple file to file transfer.
    There are text files at source side that need to send at receiver side.
    Source text files name are different so I have used
    Adapter Specific Attributes for Sender and Receiver Adapetrs
    Question
    As these are text files and there is no mapping required what interface name should I give at Sender Aggrement and
    at Interface Determination.
    Pls describe steps
    Regards

    Rider,
    Its very simple scenario. For ur satisfaction I did the same, it's working perfectly. I don't know what mistake u did. Let me give the complete picture.
    Step1: Create new Scenario
    Step2: Create new Business Service, let say File_BusService
    Step3: In File_BusService add the outbound and Inbound Interface name and namespaces , like
    Outbound Interface: MyInterface
    Outbound Interfacenamespace: http://my-own-namespace.com
    Inbound Interface: MyInterface
    Inbound Interfacenamespace: http://my-own-namespace.com
    Step4: Create two communication Channels under File_BusService
    Step5: Receiver Determination.
    Sender:File_BusService
    Outbound Interface: MyInterface
    Outbound Interfacenamespace: http://my-own-namespace.com
    Configured Receivers
    File_BusService
    Step6: Interface Determination.
    Sender:File_BusService
    Outbound Interface: MyInterface
    Outbound Interfacenamespace: http://my-own-namespace.com
    Inbound Interface: MyInterface
    Step7: Receiver agreement
    Receiver Service: File_BusService
    Inbound Interface: MyInterface
    Receiver Comm.channel
    Step8: Sender Agreement.
    Sender:File_BusService
    Outbound Interface: MyInterface
    Outbound Interfacenamespace: http://my-own-namespace.com
    Sender Comm.channel.

  • SAP PI ftp FIle transfer one to one with the same filename

    Hello all,
    maybe sombody ask the same in this forum, but couldn't find any topic regarding these.
    Okay:
    We have a scenario which have to pick up a txt file from a folder and to deliver to another folder
    outside. The file transfer itselfs isn't a problem and works propertly, but we need the same file-
    name for the outgoing file. Unfortunaltey we have huge different filenames..
    So, my question would be, what for possiblities we have to sure, that if we can deliver the
    file which the same filename as we have in the orginal (source) filefolder.
    e.g. file named in source called TEST.123 in the destination should be also TEST.123.
    The next file called TEST123.abc should be also in the destination TEST123.abc.
    Thanks

    Hi friends.
    I don't know about if you need still any help. But i think it will be useful for another people who have encountered that problem and looking for the solution.
    The solution is pretty simple for case if you are going to some file by scenario FTP - to - FTP without interface mapping. I was able to create simple example ant put it on my site to let you use the portable short instruction with screen shots and highlighted marks that help you understand it more clear. Indeed you don't need any udf if you wish to repeat that example in your real scenario. Link is HERE
    Shortly you have to do the next:
    1) for the sender adapter in tab "Advanced" switch on the check-box "Set Adapter Specific Attributes" and check that "File name" is switched on as well.
    2) for the receiver adapter you have to repeat step 1 as well. Plus you have to change setting on the tab "Processing". On that tab you need to change "File Construction Mode" into "Create" and than you have to switch on the check box named as "Overwrite Existing File".
    That's it.
    Thank you, i hope that is help.
    Sincerely, LukCAD.

  • Files transfer to Windows PC

    I have a power PC with system7 installed. I wonna transfer all data files to a windows PC. And I have some Aldus Page Maker files in there and I wonna convert them to the Adobe PM. How can I do this. I am a newbie for the MAC. Please help me. My email is ruwan.alahakoon (at) yahoo (dot) com

    There are several ways to do this.
    Some of the PowerPC Macs had built-in Ethernet when delivered. See also the technical specifications. An external AAUI to RJ-45 transceiver may or may not be needed, depending upon the Mac in question. If you wish to use Ethernet, please post back with additional information about the computer model.
    All PowerPC models should have an operating system with PC Exchange (look for it in the Control Panels folder). This means that PC-formatted floppies can be used for transfers. However, the file size limit will be somewhere around 1.3 MB.
    You could connect a MiniDIN-8 serial port (Modem Port) on the Mac to a DB-9 serial port of a PC by combining a Macintosh hardware handshake modem cable (MiniDIN-8M to DB-25M) with a standard PC null-modem cable (DB-25F to DB-9F). A terminal emulation program with file transfer capabilities (such as the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Mac and HyperTerminal on the PC) is used on each computer.
    If both computers have a modem, transfers via terminal emulation software can be carried out over the public telephone network instead (two lines required, one for the Mac and one for the PC).
    A variant would be a direct modem-to-modem connection (in principle as in KB article # 22229.
    With a modem for the Mac, and Internet software (if not already on the hard disk, it is not difficult to install a couple of small programs), you could use e.g. email for transfers.
    The transport of an unprotected Macintosh file to a PC will result in loss (or damage) of the resource fork (that is, one of the Mac file parts). The remaining data fork is, usually, sufficient for documents. Check the Save as dialogue on the sending Mac and compare this to the Open dialogue of the receiving PC. Try to find a "common denominator" file format.

  • HT204144 File transfer using Airdrop from iphone to Macbook Pro

    File transfer using airdrop form Macbook Pro to iphone is working...but from iphone to Macbook Pro is not working, Why?

    Hi Brok25;
    Thanks for the question.  The resource below explains the specs and settings that are needed for AirDrop.  Check the settings and look to see if your MacBook Pro is listed.
    Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203106
    Sending files to and from an older Mac
    If a Mac you're using with AirDrop was manufactured before 2012, you can send and receive files with other Mac computers.
    On the sending Mac, click "Don't see who you're looking for" in the AirDrop window.
    Select the option to "Search for an Older Mac."
    On the receiving Mac, open a new Finder window and click AirDrop in the sidebar.
    Tips for sending files
    Make sure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled on your Mac and your iOS device. Although you don't have to connect to a specific network, Wi-Fi needs to be on to send and receive files using AirDrop.
    Move your devices closer together. AirDrop is designed to work within a range of approximately 30 feet (9 meters). If you need to send a file to someone farther away, consider using File Sharing, iCloud, or email instead.
    If you're using a firewall on your Mac, you won't be able to receive AirDrop files if you have enabled "Block all incoming connections" in the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences.
    Make sure your devices meet system requirements for AirDrop.
    System Requirements
    To see if your Mac works with AirDrop, make sure you’re in the Finder by clicking the desktop (the background area of your screen), or by clicking the Finder icon in the Dock. Then, check to see if AirDrop is listed as an option in the Go menu. If you don't see AirDrop listed, your Mac doesn't support this feature.
    In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch
    your iOS device needs to include a lightning connector 
    your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed
    your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model with OS X Yosemite installed
    Your Mac and iOS device both need bluetooth and Wi-Fi turned on. You do not have to be connected to a specific Wi-Fi network. 
    To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need the Mac models listed below with Wi-Fi turned on and OS X Lion or later installed.
    MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
    MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
    iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
    *The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.
    For help identifying your Mac, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu. You can refer to the Apple Support website to find out if your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch includes a lightning connector. 
    Cheers,
    - Judy
