Haw much time needed to transfer data from one mac to another throughout FireWire

It has been 15 hours since I started transferring data from my old mac to my new one and I cant get throughout the process any tip about the estimated time the amount of data in GB is around 200

That does seem too long for a 200GB transfer, even via FireWire 400. I suspect there's a problem on one of the hard drives that is preventing some data from being read or written successfully. I would cancel the copy process and use Disk Utility to run its Repair Disk routine on each of the drives.

  • What is the quickest way to transfer data from one Mac to another?

    I just bought a Macbook Air, and using the Migration Assitant, it says that it will take 32 hours to transfer data from my old Macbook to the Macbook Air.
    There must be a quicker way! What happens if I abort?

    Unless you can use Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode, the fastest means is to use a Time Machine backup from an external drive, using the quickest port you have compatible with that drive.
    However, I would NEVER, ever use Migration Asssistant for a new Mac from an old one. Setup Assistant is exponentially better, even if you have to start over.

  • Transfer data from one database to another without identities but keep the relation b/w PK and Foreign key

    Hi,
    I need to transfer data from one database to another database (both are identical databases). 
    1. Not transferring identity columns (primary keys). the destination table might have the same key.
    2. keep the PK's and FK's relation b/w parent and child table
    3. I have 4 levels 
    Example: tableA (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3)
    tableB (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
    col2 , col3) -- col2 has the foreign key relation with tableA.col1
    tableC (col1 int identity(1,1) ,
    col2, col3) -- col2  has the foreign key relation with tableB.col1
    tableD (col1 int identity(1,1) , col2, col3) -- col2  has the foreign key relation with tableC.col1
    please advise me.
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.

  • Different ways to Transfer data from one database to another database

    Hi all,
    What are the ways to transfer data from one database to another database. With the following options, i Can transfer data as far as i know. Please
    correct me if i am wrong or tell me if there is any other options are available.
    1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.
    2) By using Export and Import utilities.
    I told first one to my interviewer, he told, its strange, by using, COPY command also can we transfer data ? As far as i know, we can transfer data. Am i right ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pal

    transfer data from one database to another database.You mean store the data of one to another?
    1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.every SELECT on a DB-link is transfering data. And you can have all kind of transfers and store on the e.g CTAS of materialized views or.... the SQL*PLUS COPY :
    The COPY command is not being enhanced to handle datatypes or features introduced with, or after Oracle8i. The COPY command is likely to be made obsolete in a future release.
    But there are many others. Check for ORACLE Streams, and the "COPY" your interviewer was mentioning is about the operating file system COPY right? That's transportable tablespaces.

  • Can I use flash drives to transfer data from one MBP to another at a differ

    I've looked and cannot find any info on the use of flash drives. Can I use a flash drive to transfer data from one MBP to another one at a different location? (ie; school Apple and home MBP) Grade tests and papers at home, enter data into home computer, then put it on flash drive and carry flash drive to school, transferring data to school desk top? Are certain flash drives preferrable over others, name brands, size, etc?

    Yep, you sure can. Just about any drive will work as mentioned above. But I'm partial to SanDisk and PNY. I've used both and they work great! Currently I carry both a 2GB SanDisk Micro Cruzer and a retractable 2GB SanDisk Cruzer, both really nice. Replaced my oldie but goodie 256MB PNY drive that I've been using since they first came out.

  • How to transfer Signatures from one Mac to another

    In Mail, if I go to Preferences > Signatures, I see in the left column *All Signatures*, and signatures for various accounts.
    How would I transfer the signatures in *All Signatures* from one Mac to another?
    The names of files in the folder ~/Library/Mail/Signatures are all cryptic.
    Moreover, since each signature is tied to a certain account, I don't think that I can just copy these files into the Signature folder of the 2nd Mac.

    Simply moving these cryptic files did not work, in the sense that these signatures did not show up in the right-most column of the Signatures pane.
    I made sure that I did not move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder.
    So, would someone please share with me how to transfer signatures from one Mac to another, with both running Mail?

  • Need to transfer data from one external hd to another hd

    Hi, I need to transfer movies from one external hd to another external hd - destination hd is formatted currently as NTSC, source hd is formatted currently as Mac OSx extended (journalled).
    I believe I need to transfer data across to different hd before I can reformat source hd to MSDOS - fat. Then after reformatting source hd I want to transfer data back from destination hd to source hd, to allow this to be viewed on TV & PC...
    I have tried copying & dragging from one to another, doesn't work (on desktop, or in Finder).
    Any help welcome, thank you.

    When you reformat a drive it erases all data. You'll need to buy a second external drive.
    Note: you can reformat a single partition on a drive. More info
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. Works on USB 2.0 ports. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.
    I don't recommend Western Digital because of the boot problem with some of their drives. LaCie makes good drives. All Mac formatted drives will cost more and it’s easy to reformat with Disk Utility. Do not use the software that comes with the drives. It’s recommended that you use Apple’s Disk Utility.
    Prices vary but this gives you an idea of what you’ll find. As you notice the second and third TB is usually only $15 more per TB. It's not uncommon to find a 1T is more than the 2T
    Current Amazon pricing:
    Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 $154.85 (used to be around $85.00)
    Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB USB 3.0 $114.95 (used to be around $99.00
    Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0  $129.90 (used to be around $115.00)
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    Occassionally you'll find the 3T for $99 on sale.

  • Is there any mechanism available to transfer data from one AQ to another AQ

    Hi All,
    Is there any way , any api's available or any other real time mechanism available to transfer/move the data from one AQ to another AQ..
    Is this possible..could someone please advise/help us regards this..
    Thanks
    sachin.

    I dont think there is a standard business content datasource to extract data from NAST table. If you are going to use this data in some other LO modules based on the requirement enhance the datasource and append fields and write code to populate the message types.
    If you are going to use this as stand alone data, then you can go ahead and create a generic datasource based on table.
