Have an iMac & buying a second one, how to copy my programs?

I copied my programs from my son's macbook, no cds, now I want to copy them to a new imac. some software to buy?

The easiest way would be to join the two machines with an Ethernet cable, create a network between the two, turn on file sharing and just copy whatever files you want to copy across.
Or you could join them with a firewire cable and boot up one of them in Target mode (holding down the 'T' key). Again, just copy files across.
Or you could download the new Airport 'N' enabler and use the extra speed to accomplish the Ethernet cable thing - but wirelessly.
If you want to copy all the files across I would use the Migration Assistant in the iMac. Just join the two machines with a Firewire cable, turn both machines on. The iMac will give you the chance to use the MA as part of the initial startup process. It will do a search, find the MacBook and ask if you want to copy the files from it and as they say in Britain, Bob's your Uncle!

You need to have the facetime app installed on your iMac and you need to be using an iPad 2.

I have an iMAc 10.4.11. How do I upgrade/update? Thanks

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so Contact Apple in your Country to Purchase a Snow Leopard Disc...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
In the US...
1-800-MY-APPLE or 1-800-676-2775
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

I have an IMAC and a IPAD 2 can data, files and Programs, be shared or tranfered?

I have an IMAC and a IPAD 2 can data, files and Programs, be shared or tranfered?

The Mac uses Mac OS X. The iPad uses iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps written for one will not run on the other. Some Apple and 3rd party apps have been developed in both OSes. These apps can usually share data and files across the two OS platforms.

I have an iMac, iPad 2 and one child has an iTouch and the other an iPhone 4S. How do we get separate facetimes?

Hello, I have an iMac and an iPad 2. one of my kids have an iTouch and the other an iPhone 4S.
When their friends call, it shows up on my iPad 2 and the list of friends is the list of friends for my child
who has the iPhone 4S. To my knowledge, we all have to share an APPLE ID to share music and apps?...
So is that the problem....what happens if we have separate APPLE ID's....?
Even though we are an APple fam, I am still not sure how the whole thing works....
How do we get separate facetimes? Thank you so much in advance.

Actually you can have separate apple ID's for icloud and facetime but use the family one for purchases so you can share your apps, music..
Each owner opens up a Apple ID for only their device(s).. Log into icloud using new apple ID on each device for each person. Hit facetime in settings, and input your new apple id as facetime ID.. Done..
Now go to settings > store and make sure your family account is inputed there on all the devices so you can share your purcahsed music, apps, videos, etc....
I am sharing purcahses with my entire family but we all have separate icloud, facetime, apple ID etc.. Its imperative you have split Apple ID's for icloud otherwise all your phonebooks will mix and match.....
Also as far as iphone goes.. Iphone can be set up to use apple ID to call or phonenumber (by default) So if you facetime a number it will ring only on that phone, if you facetime an apple ID that is on the iphone it will ring on all devices associated with that apple ID

I have 2 iMacs with Maverick. One shows DVD's requiring Adobe Flash fine the other plays for a while then I get parts of the DVD presentation that freezes cursor movement but the video

I have two iMacs both with Maverick. When working with Training DVD's requiring Adobe Flash there is no trouble with one iMac but the other will have problems. The DVD will run fine and then there will be a break (5-10 seconds) in the audio but not the video. When the audio comes back on the presentors movement of the curson will be frozen. Have I disabled something on the one computers but not the other to cause this problem?

HT4356 I have a printer 4500 all in one how to print setup printer from to print from my ipad2

I have an iPad 2 and I've been trying to print from my iPad and I am having trouble my printer 4500hp jet ink all in one wifi also it is connector my iMac computer. I can't understand why my iPad does not pick up the wifi printer in my home that is wireless setup network but my iPad is not picking it up please help

The printer has to be an AirPrint compatible printer to work with the iPads AirPrint feature. Not all printers are AirPrint printers. It appears as though your printer is not an AirPrint printer. If it isn't - you need a third party printing app.
You can check here again and see if your printer is on the list.

When I drag a link,there will be two new tabs.One of them is the website,and the other is a website poped by searching the words of the link.I hate the second one.how can i make my firefox just show one new tab?

just as the quesstion

Hi - yes I can! I hadn't noticed that little arrow before, thanks.
However I would really like to stop it hiding the first tab all the time.... Even when I navigate to the first tab using that "list all tabs" arrow, it still remains 'hidden' (i.e. I can't see a tab up the top, even when that tab is active. And when I navigate away from it to another tab, it is invisible again).
Any ideas?
Thanks

HD Cloning or how to copy full HD

Hello to all,
I have a Mac Pro with the 250 gb stock hard drive, I just bought 4 750 gb disk and I want to arrange them in a raid configuration, I know how to do that, the only problem that I have is that I don't know how to copy all the information from my old HD to the new raid, I read on another post that it is better to install all the applications again, but I really don't want to do that because it is time consuming and I don't have the patience to do an all programs installation again.
Is there an easy way to just copy or drag all the information from one drive to the other?
Thanks

I don't know what your specific needs are. If you need the storage space then I suppose you make the most effective use of it by creating a large striped RAID with very fast 3 TBs of storage. If you can afford another four drives and an external case you can create another RAID to use as backup.
However, if you can get by with 1.5 TBs of storage then I would create two striped RAIDs - Drives 1 and 2 for one; and Drives 3 and 4 for the other. Then get some good backup software and do regular scheduled backups of one RAID to the other. This provides storage space and backup but no protection against drive failure.
Basic Backup
You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
If storage space is not the essential goal then I would mirror Drive 1 to Drive2 and Drive 3 to Drive 4. Then use backup software to backup one to the other. This provides backup and drive failure protection.

How To Copy MEDRUCK?

Dear Abapers,
Please tell me how to copy MEDRUCK program to print the Purchase Order. Please tell me step by step as I am new to ABAP. Also tell me how to make changes in MEDRUCK according to my company i.e. how & where to change the company logo, address etc.
Waiting for ur valuable reply,
Thanx,
Deepti

We modified the driver program because there was a requirement to add stuff that was not available in the standard driver program. Here is what we did.
First, Copied the SAPFM06P program to SAPFZM06P. Did not copy all of the includes. Copied only the FM06PE02 include program to ZFM06PE02.
Second, in the include ZFM06PE02, there is a form call ENTRY_NEU, this is the entry point to print the form, notice that there is a function module in this form called ME_PRINT_PO. This is the function module that will print the PO. Eventually, you will want to call a Z version of that funciton module.
Third, copy the entire funtion group MEDRUCK into ZMEDRUCK. This is the function group which has the function module ME_PRINT_PO. Don't copy the includes into Z versions. You don't need to modify all of them. Only copy them when needed. Save and Activate.
Finally, go back to that include program ZFM06PE02, now make the call to ME_PRINT_PO to the Z version, in my case it is ZME_PRINT_PO. Save and activate.
Make sure that you change your configuration in SPRO to use the SAPFZM06P program instead of the standard. Now your form should be printing from the custom driver program. Modify away!!!!
The standard form layout is also called MEDRUCK. You can copy this into a "Z" form via SE71.
Please don't forget to award points for helpful answers.'

Before you have another accident:
Buy a UPS of good quality and sufficient to your needs.
I would have to assume that the drives were connected to a PCI PATA card, hopefully. Otherwise, well RAID and having drives on the same bus (master and slave).
And no backup, none at all...
Get your hands on a G4.
Data Rescue 3 from Prosoft maybe.
If they were SATA and running on PCI SATA controller, very popular and common really in G4s, more options would be open.
