Help Migrating from !0.4 iBook to MBPRO 2.4

Just bought MB Pro. Need to migrate all my files and programs from iBook running 10.4. I have read about issues migrating files from G4 to intel (universal binary). Not sure of best sequence but was thinkging of:
1. Boot MBPRO but not update to 10.5 yet (can I even do this, I know the box has a disk for Leopard).
2. Use Migration assistant to copy:
-user documents
-mail, iCal, adress book, safari data
-itunes Library (worried about this one!)
-selected applications (don't have too many)
-keychain library
3. Then update to 10.5
Does this make sense? I am worried if I copy the library data directly from 10.4 to 10.5 I might bugger things up (especially with Mail).
I have iPhone synced to iTunes - is there a separate library folder for iphone or is everything stored in iTunes library?
Any words of advice? Should I roll the dice and let Migration Assistant transfer all data and Applications?
Help appreciated!

Sorry, forgot to thank Kappy for the useful post on migrating to intel Macs. THANKS KAPPY!

Migration from imac to ibook keeping the files intact on imac.

hi,
I have just bought a second hand ibook g4 osx10.4 and want to migrate some of my apps, documents and other files from my imac osx10.4.11. I will still be using my imac so want to know if its safe to use the normal migration procedure or will it delete the files and apps from their original place on the imac.
hope that makes sense!
really appreciate some advice before i go ahead and try it!
thanks

so want to know if its safe to use the normal migration procedure
Yes, it is.

Need help migrating from damaged MacBook Pro to New MacBook Pro.

My Mid-2008 MacBook Pro's logic board died and I have just purchased a 2012 Refurb MacBook Pro to replace the old laptop. I do have a backup on Time Machine but the most recent backup is about a week old. I would like to be able to do the migration using the disk in the old laptop, but it will not completely boot up and will arrive at the "forced shutdown" screen soon after it boots. Can I still connect to the old laptop using migration assistant even though I am at the forced shutdown screen? Old computer is running OSX Lion. I think the new one will have either Mountain Lion or possibly Mavericks on it. I've used Migration Assistant previously, so I am familiar with how it works. I'm just not sure if it will work in this instance with the old computer.

It looks like it did change. (We're talking about 5 years ago and at least 3 operating systems ago), but I do remember that the instructions for Migration Assistant back then said that on the old computer where you just needed to access the drive, you had to hold down a key or keys when after hitting the power key. This will allow access by the new computer to the harddrive in the old computer without the need to boot up, basically making the old computer an oversized harddrive enclosure.
It worked perfectly when I did it with my old iBook which would not even get to the gray Apple logo, but the MacBook was able to fully access the drive, allowing me to migrate the apps, fonts and work files stored on it, including my entire iTunes library.
like I said earlier, if this is no longer the case, than removing the drive from the old computer and inserting it in an external drive is the next best way to go. Of course, having a fairly recent backup on Time Machine should also work.

Help Migrating from OS 8.6 to Mac Mini

I wish to migrate to latest Mac Mini from my old, basic 9600 with OS 8.6 in the easiest and quickest way possible which is suitable for a novice on anything except my current system. Current system includes Viewsonic P815 monitor and HP LaserJet 5MP (Geoport connected). System is connected to Linksys router. I understand the monitor is migrateable but printer is not. The problem is software and docs, as follows.
(1) Have 1000s of docs made under Word 5.1a and need to have them open without change under a new Microsoft Word which I'm told won't happen.
(2) I need to have folders and contents of those in the current Outlook Express 5.0.6 in whatever is the new Mac's emailer.
(3) I need to have the Favorites file of the current Internet Explorer 5.1.5 in whatever is the new Mac's browser.
(4) My address book is under Hypercard Player 2.4.1 and this has to migrate to some other address book, but how and which one?
(5) I heavily use Deneba's Coach Pro, an integrated, super thesaurus, and way ahead of those in word processors. Any recommendations?
(6) I occasionally use Canvas 3.5.5 drawing program. Is there a quicky drawing program that can open these files, live?
(7) I plan to get a new laser printer but I also have an older HP PSC 500 printer/scanner that used to be on a Windows machine, now dead. Can both be on the Mac mini?
Thanks.

What happens when you never upgrade,total confusion! You are so behind the times that you can do virtually nothing to move all your files over to a Intel mac mini.You might be able to use your printer but check HP's website to see if drivers are available.Your best bet would be a older Mini that can run classic ( os9) and try to migrate as much as you can.I really hate to say it but you are so far behind with 8.6, I would just keep running your 9600 till it drops! Word 5.1 how old is that?,15>18 years?

Help Migrating from eMac with 10.4 to Mac Mini with 10.5.8

Hi All,
I'm stumped. My friend has an old eMac with 10.4 on it, and when I upgraded my machine from a Mac Mini, I decided to donate it to her. I thought I'd be able to use Migration Assistant, but it apparently needs at least 10.5 on both machines. I tried to upgrade her eMac to 10.5, but it's so old and clunky, it just freezes when you try (it's only got 256MB of RAM).
Any ideas? Since there's no time machine on 10.4, that's not an option - but she does have an external hard-drive that I could use.
Thanks all -

Erase and install the Mac Mini and then when prompted at restart tell it to import the data from the eMac - it should just work. It is always better to erase and install if you get a second hand machine anyway both for security purposes (for the old user) and also to ensure that none of the stuff left behind by the previous user will interfere with your usage of your new Mac

Need help migrating from pop to imap

Hi,
I have a domain hosted by GoDaddy and have been using their pop3 mail service. Apple Mail is set up so the messages are deleted from the server when they download to my iMac.
I've now upgraded to their service allowing me to use IMAP but I don't want to lose the emails in my inbox and sent items on the Mac. In fact I'd like them so they will be synced with the IMAP server.
How would one go about this, given that I want to use exactly the same email address for IMAP as I was under the pop3 settings?
Anyone know how I can go about this?
Any help much appreciated.
Neil

I'm not sure how you can sync the emails you've collected via POP to the IMAP account, or whether it's possible but to setup the new IMAP account should be straightforward. Someone else on here will hopefully be able to advise on the syncing possibilities. I would take the precaution of having a backup of your current 'On My Mac' emails before doing the following.
To create the IMAP account in Mail:
Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Click on the '+' to add an account
Select 'Add other mail account'
Enter your credentials including the word IMAP in the 'Full Name' field (to help differentiate it from your existing POP account with the same email address - you can edit the name later if nec)
Once the detail is filled in hold down the Alt (Option) key before you click on Create and it should change to Continue
The next screen then allows you to specify that the account is IMAP. Input the server addresses and it should be clear from there.

Need help migrating from Cinewave to Kona

Our graphics department is preparing to switch from the discontinued Cinewave RT (v 4.6) to a Kona 2. The Cinewave RT is currently installed on a G5 running FCP HD (4.5). The Kona is on a G5 running FCP 5.
Our problem is with the gigabytes of clips that were created with the Cinewave. They are in Targa Cine YUV16 codec. When we try to play these clips in QuickTime Player, we get a white screen with no audio. Final Cut Pro 5 shows the clips as black, and reports that they need to be rendered. But they won't render.
Is there any way for us to convert these clips so that they're compatible with the Kona 2 and beyond, short of dumping them to tape, or SDI to SDI?
Please help!!

Talked to AJA about that today....
That codec the 2Vuy codec is for 8 bit video...
The codec used on this Cinewave footage (RT V4.6) was:
Targa CineYUV16, which is a 10 bit codec.
We kinda found a way to do it, but it involves bringing it into FCP, with copmressor setting to match input filetype, and then Saving As, and selecting the compressor format that we normally use, then starting anew with the now-converted files.
Is there any clip conversion programs that will convert clips from one codec format into another, Say, put the files needing-to-be-converted in one folder, and having it convert those files to the same codec type (that our Kona 2 card is set for) and place them in a different folder, keeping the same filenames?
A file conversion program would seem to be a better approach, but I'm not smart in those types of programs....

Need help migrating from Mail 3.6 to Mail 4.2

I just bought a new 27" i7 iMac w/ 8gb ram, 1 TB hard drive.
I'm trying to migrate my settings over from my old G4 17" Powerbook. I'm running 10.5.8 on the laptop with Mail 3.6.
How do I import my mailboxes from my old computer onto the new one? I've tried copying the old Mail folder over to the new computer over firewire. That didn't work. I then archived the mailboxes on the old computer and brought those files over to the new machine. I tried to import them on the new machine directly through mail, no dice.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

you need to do it with both the Mail folder AND the mail preference file.
quit Mail and copy over the whole folder /users/username/library/mail AND the file /users/username/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. start Mail and it should look as it did on the old computer.
BTW, using Migration Assistant you can migrate your entire user including Mail, address book, music and so on.

Hundreds of Books disappeared during migration from iTunes to iBooks. Where are they?

After the Mavericks upgrade, I tried to access my iBook library (containing hundreds of EPUB and PDF books, almost all of which weren't purchased from Apple) via iTunes.
I got the message to import them via iBooks (v 1.0). I did so, and all but two books disappeared. I was told by an Apple Genius that a fix was in the works. So I waited.
I installed iBooks 1.0.1, and redid the "Move Books from iTunes". None of my books were found - they'd all been removed from iTunes by the broken version of iBooks.
So where did iBooks 1.0 put my books? How can I get them back?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

They may well be lost.
I had the same, the whole snyc process over to iBooks did not work at all. Apple keeping quiet about it, because its such a major screw-up.
Luckily enough, I had a backup of all my pdf-books, so I imported them manually to iBooks. Some people suggested the books may be buried somewehre deep in your iTunes music library. Well, they certianly weren't over here.
A true mess, and fully consistent with the recent f*** ups in iPhoto (library sharing via Wifi has disappeared) and the much talked about missing features in Pages and Numbers (never used those cripples anyway as I need to do serious word porcessing and calculating, so these "kids-apps" are no alternative to Word and Excel)

Help - Migrating from Tiger to Leopard Server via Apple Maintenance Program

Hi, I'm to upgrade an Apple Xserve running Mac OS Tiger to Leopard. There was an Apple Maintenance Program purchased for this Xserve. I plan to do a clean install on the server, however, I don't know where to find Leopard's serial number or if I need one or if I can do a clean install via AMP.
This was the first AMP sold in my country I think and the VAR was a little clueless, it wasn't our plan to upgrade until now and I don't know who to ask.
I have the media, but it wasn't the one that apple sent, the VAR just made me a copy of a Leopard Server. I have the license program agreement, there it is stated the License Number (amp - xx -xxxxx format), the License Date, the Sales Order # and something label PO.
Could somebody please point me out how should I proceed? The server is being moved from its intended use so a clean install is no problem (and prefered).
Thanks in advance
Rafael

You should get the media directly from Apple complete with "xsvr-"serialnumber in an envelope in the (snail-)mail.
We have customers which didn't get the serial or DVD in the envelope so we had to contact Apple again.

Help migrating from OS X to Arch

Hi Arch users,
I'm using Mac OS X as my primary OS. Certain constraints on my job don't hold anymore, so I have regained freedom of choice and I'm looking forward to switch back to Linux. I have already installed Arch on an old laptop, the distro of my choice.
The main pieces of my tool chain are free (as in freedom), so in that aspect switching is a no brainer. I'm referring to Emacs, Git, TeX and MediaWiki.
However, I'm struggling to find some applications that offer me:
* An address book that syncs with cell phones
* An email client integrated with the address book
* A simple GTD task and project manager
* A calendar application
** Syncing of the previous two among them and with cell phones
I know Evolution might offer some of the above functionality. I would prefer a more Unix-like solution, though. I mean, small programs that do one thing and do it well, e.g. mutt, alpine or vim.
I'm looking for suggestions as what to try in order to achieve that functionality.
Thanks in advance.
PS: I might also add that Emacs may offer some of what I'm looking for, but I'd prefer not ending up making Emacs my whole OS. Org Mode might be a good choice for GTD, though.
If anyone knows OS X, just for reference, I'm using: Address Book, iCal, Mail, Actiontastic and Quicksilver.

Possible, sure. In each case, I think they're just lines in text files. You could write a script to do this:
1. pull each birthday from the abook database, save it in an associative array1 keyed by names.
2. Also pull the last modtime from the abook database, call it modtime1.
3. pull each birthday from the remind database, save it in an assoc array2 keyed by names.
4. Also pull the last modtime from the remind database, call it modtime2.
5. the synch script has its own assoc array3 and array4, keyed by names, which it reads/writes to disk. array3[name] is a birthday. array4[name] is a last modtime.
6. for each name in the union of array1's keys and array2's keys:
set array1_is_newer to false, and array2_is_newer to false
if array1[name] != array3[name] and modtime1 > array4[name] then array1_is_newer = true end
if array2[name] != array3[name] and modtime2 > array4[name] then array2_is_newer = true end
if array1_is_newer and array2_is_newer then
prompt the user what to do
else if array1_is_newer then
array3[name] = array1[name]
array4[name] = modtime1
update the remind database with array1[name]
else if array2_is_newer then
...similarly
else
do nothing
end
7. at the end, write array3 and array4 back to disk.
Anyway, that's the basic idea. Now, has someone already written and debugged and polished such a script? I dunno. Let us know if you come across it. But it wouldn't be hard if you're comfortable scripting.

Migrating from old iBook

Since the new MacBook has no Firewire I started the migration from an old iBook to the new MacBook by ethernet. However, the Assistant on the DVD that comes with the new MacBook does not run on 10.3.
Now what?
Apple, what the &^%#*? Are you indeed turning into M$?

I used Migration Assistant (MA) to transfer all my files and media from my old PowerBook G4 to my new MacBook. When I opened MA on the old computer, I was asked to put the OS X CD that came with the new Mac into the old optical drive. Something was downloaded onto the old Mac that made it compatible with the new Mac. I assumed it was to sync the versions of MA but I was never told. All I know was that I was then able to begin the transfer.
I used my wireless connection rather than the ethernet ports. To my dismay, the transfer took over 11 hours. To give you some scale, I had over 6000 photos and videos, about 1200 songs, less than 100 docs. As I primarily use the old computer for the internet and iLife, I had very few applications other than the ones that came with it when I bought it. However, I wanted the settings and bookmarks - especially Safari - so I included Applications in the transfer. That's where I think I made a mistake because it seemed to take an inordinate amount of time checking versions and transferring. You never really know what is going on during the transfer but there are vague one-liners like, "Transferring Applications" that are displayed under the sliding thermometer that tracks your progress. I left the two computers open, side by side, and went to bed with my fingers crossed.
I got up the next morning and immediately looked at the new Mac to see if everything/anything had come over. I couldn't find a thing but I had lost 40 Gigs of memory somewhere. I searched frantically through every folder on the new hard-drive but couldn't find the new files. I finally had to take it down to the Apple store where I have bought it and get a Genius to help me. First thing he did was check my Users folder to see how many logins there were for this computer. To distinguish the old Mac from the new Mac, I had forgotten that I had added my middle initial to my name. A simple logoff and login as my new personna and Voila! Transfer completed!! Everything right where it should be and all my settings. MA was slow but it worked.
Sorry for relating the total saga but I it might be useful to others. I don't know if using an ethernet cable would have speeded things up. Maybe someone else can tell that story.
I'm happy with the new MacBook, although I miss the size and convenience of my old beloved 12" G4. I don't have any glare issues because I tilt the screen and change my seat for better light - which is why I thought most of us bought a laptop and not a desktop. It's mobile, faster, bigger, and brighter. I'm happy. Hope this helps.

File transfer from old G4 iBook to new MacBook Pro

I hope this is the right place for this post/question....
I am trying to do a file migration from my old iBook G4 PPC to my new MacBook Pro. The iBook does not have the migration utility and when I put the new OSX DVD in from my MacBook (as instructed to do in the Migration utility's steps) it does not read it (presumably because it is not the right processor, etc) so I had no luck doing the computer to computer transfer. I do not have the "Time Machine" utility on the old computer and using my regular back-up did not allow me to migrate using the "other drive" option (MacBook never saw the drive in the utility, but does mount it and allow me to access it as a drive). I can do this the hard way, file by file, but I have a couple of concerns that I want to check on before I spend hours going down a bad path.
1) I have thousands of songs in my iTunes... can I drag and drop these? What about my play lists?
2) iPhoto - I have thousands of photos - how do I easily transfer those over in their respective scrapbooks?
3) Bookmarks, I can deal with by trying to find the file and importing them, or doing it manually, although there are a lot of them. Easier way?
4) Outlook - I can try to export and import using the built in features, but not sure if that will pull all the folders and structure.
Those are the big ones... I have had this computer for 8 years, so it is pretty embedded in my life and I am hoping for a utility or something that will help this process.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Keith

The migration utility in the newer computer's OS X would usually allow
the older Mac's info to be pulled into the new computer; the installer
disc for the new Mac won't do anything for the old PPC Mac since it
would be unreadable. Intel-based Mac machine-specific discs won't
work in PPC-based Macs; and in general different machines can't
or won't use the install-restore discs from other models.
There may have been a way via ethernet, usb or firewire to share files
using a System Preference panel setting to facilitate this action. The
suggested method should be adequate. You can also put an iTunes
library and iPhoto library on a suitable external drive to par-down the
content and reduce clutter in a portable computer's hard disk drive
and still be able to access those carefully moved libraries from there.
Some good support documents in Apple Support tell how to do this.
In Firefox, you will have to rename the old folder of bookmarks to the
same name as the existing new apps folder for them to be seen. I
just replaced folders, carefully, so if that didn't work the first time, the
items were easy to find and try again later. Once you get the folder,
the contents should appear in the new browser version as they had
in the older one, to some extent, after the file or contents are moved.
Good luck & happy computing!

Migration from os 10.2 to 10.8

I just purchased a new MacBook Air running os 10.8.2. I want to migrate from an old iBook G4 running os 10.2.
I went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store a few days ago and the guy told me to plug in my firewire backup external hard drive (with firewire to thunderbolt cable) to the new MacBook Air. Boot the Air and hold down the "T" key. But it will not migrate or even find the drive. Yet when I boot to the finder the external hard drive shows up in the finder and I see everything on the backup drive. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful.
All I really need is email transferred from Apple Mail so I don't have to reorganize my mail. I could just drag over my photos, music, documents and bookmarks.

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
      or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
       registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
       desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
      Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
      wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
