Help! Which firewire for migration

Just bought a new iMac - and didn't know about needing a firewire to transfer info from my old Mac (the cute little egg one). I've been to Best Buy TWICE - first I got a six pin firewire which would work in my old computer but not my new one. Went BACK to Best Buy with a PHOTO of the firewire port on my new computer and the "geek guy" said, "Oh, it's a FOUR pin." So, I bought a 6/4 firewire. But the 4 firewire portion doesn't fit????? ARRRGGGGGHHHH. Help!

The new iMac has Firewire 800 only, and that's a 9 pin connection and won't fit the 6 and 4 pin connector used by firewire 400.
You'll either need to look on line for an 800 to 400 cable or get an adapter such as this:

Help in strategy for Migrating to MPLS from PRN cloud Same provider

Dear,
We are planning to migrate to MPLS from PRN using same provider, I have about 12 sites to migrate, new circuits have been provisioned and new routers are ready to be shipped to each site for installation.
Now, I am facing a dilemma, briefly speaking with provider they tell me that we can migrate a site a time no problem here, then next day they tell me it needs to be a hot cut over migration how can this be? so going back and forth and tayloring routers configurations I literally stopped, would like ask for assistance and your opinion on how to go about such migration to tentatively lock into a solid strategy.
Any documents out there you can point me to or experience in such migration will be appreciated.
All of our sites currently connect to PRN cloud including HQ, running OSPF multiple areas, at a glance I was thinking the provider would somehow bridge the two clouds so that I could build a parallel infrastructure and migrate branch offices one at a time but I am still unclear on how to proceed, I will be speaking with the provider more extensively in the next few days but any guidance will be appreciated.
Best Regards

Henry, thanks for those links and help.
Would like to share what I have done which seems so far to be working properly, so that if any one comes accross they get an idea.
It turned out our RPN/MPLS provider cannot or don't want to somehow cross connect the two clouds, so I was forced to do the cross connect at my end begining with two sites, I have setup what I had in mind, for each of the two targeted sites I have installed a new 3845 router with new DS3 link to MPLS cloud and created a cross connect to a 6509_switch_router that is connected under the PRN infrastructure. The 3845 was configured as a virtual link for ospf, all good here so far the 3845 joing ospf domain and received routing table from from PRN side. The next site had also new router and new circuit for the MPLS side, at this second site I brough down the router connecting to PRN cloud then brought up the new 2811 router which I had preconfigured under the same ospf domain and received routing table from the 3845 router DS3 MPLS link. We will let it run for a week to allow to troubleshoot or spod any issues before proceeding to migrate more sites.

Which FireWire Cable for Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro Migration Assistant?

Hi,
I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro 15" (standard - not retina display) and am planning to transfer my files via the Migration Assistant. My question is, I currently have a mid 2009 macbook pro (2.8GHz, 4GB) and was wondering which firewire cable I need to purchase - there are so many different types!
Thanks!

Hold T and boot the old Mac's drive to the desktop of the new one or do so during Setup Assistant or later with Migration Assistant.
Setup Assistant runs only once, at first startup when fresh out of the box or when freshly reinstalled from scratch. Migration Assistant is a regular application found in the Utilites folder.
If you're going to move all your stuff over, the easiest and least problematic way is via Setup Assistant. Since the computer is in a completely blank state when SA runs, it can create identical user accounts, permissions, etc., as the original source. MA is an app that runs on an already configured and running system and, hence, can't duplicate user accounts, modify permissions that are already in use, etc.: this can cause vexing issues for new users that may not be to well versed in multiuser operating system administration.

Firewire 800 vs 400 for Migration Assistant

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to move stuff from my old iMac, which has Firewire 400 ports to my new iMac which has Firewire 800. I bought a cable that has one plug type on each end, but it seems the two iMacs can't 'see each other' using this cable. Also, if I connect my external LaCie hard drive (which has both)to my new iMac using this cable, it doesn't mount, although it will using a USB2 cable. This isn't an option for Migration Assistant. Any ideas?

Well, either the cable is bad or your firewire port is bad. Firewire 800 is backward compatible to 400. Try on someone elses mac. If it works on theirs, then your port is suspect.

This may sound crazy, but download any free app. This often "shocks" the other apps into working.

Which Firewire Cable for my MacPro?

I was just about to connect my new external HD to my MacPro, but found out that the Firewire cable doesn't match my MacPro.
When I did a search for buying Firewire 800 cables, three different types showed up! Which Firewire 800 cable to I need for my MacPro 2.93GHz?

There is only one FW800 cable type used by your MP. It's a 9-pin nearly square connector. If you have a cable with a 6-pin rectangular shaped connector, then that is a FW400 cable.

HT204350 The instructions for "Migrating using FireWire or ThunderBolt" are WRONG

The instructions for "Migrating using FireWire or ThunderBolt" in this article are wrong for a transfer from a Mountain Lion Mac to a Mavericks Mac. You should not put the source Mac in target disk mode. Rather, you should start up Migration Assistant on the source Mac and choose "To another Mac"

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

HELP urgently needed: My Sandberg FireWire for Laptop will not start on my T60

Let me start with information on my T60:
OS information: Microsoft Windows XP
OS version: 5.10.2600 Service Pack 2
Processor: x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 8
Memory: 3.135.856 kb
BIOS version: 2.09 (79ETC9WW)
Machine type-Model: 1951A47
I have just got a new Sandberg FireWire for Laptop, a PC Card with 3 6-pins connectiont. After inserting the card in the PC Card slot, the Windows Device Manager tells me that there are problems with the card. Looking at the 1394 Card Properties the status says:
"This device cannot start. (Code 10) - Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device."
The troubleshooter did not solve my problem. I have tried disconnecting, re-connection, shut down Windows and start again etc.
At Sandberg Help Desk they tell me that I have two slots in my laptop, one with a 16 bits bus and another with a 32 bits slots, and I should use the latter. It seems that I can use the lower slide only in my laptop and I cannot push the card into the upper slide. There is not enough room for it.
Here is what I found on Lenovo's support site on my type & model:
PC Card
Conforms to the PC Card Standard 95
Type II slot
Both the 16-bit Release 2.1 card standard and the 32-bit CardBus card are supported.
Have a look at these screen captures.
What should I do to solve my urgent problem!?

Sounds to me like a driver configuration problem. Maybe something bad happened during driver install. I would recommend uninstalling the device from device manager by right clicking on it and hitting uninstall. Reboot the computer. Have a go at it again. Also, test your pcmcia port functionality by finding and plugging in a different card. See if that works. It might need repair.

The status right now is:
The PC Card reader works on my T60
If I use a Firewire PC Card it will not start - as described above (on T60)
The PC Card work properly on my T61P - and I succeeded importing a video file from a digital camera using the Fireswire PC Card.
So what does a wise man do in this situation??
Please help me as I urgently need to know how to solve this serious issue!!
Have you got an idea? Can I import the video in another way??

Help for migrating DB2 to Oracle11 g, with Sql Developer

Hello, Good Afternoon,
Today I started a series of exercises to migrate DB2 9 to Oracle 11 g, with SQL Developer in order to evaluate this tool for a project we have in door.
But it is setting a number of issues, because the DB2 tables that we are trying to migrate do not have primary key and load the data sets the error ORA-02270.
It is generating an error when trying to convert the following triggers.
CREATE TRIGGER min_salary NO CASCADE
BEFORE INSERT ON staff REFERENCING NEW AS newstaff
FOR EACH ROW MODE DB2SQL BEGIN ATOMIC
SET newstaff.salary =
CASE
WHEN newstaff.job = 'Mgr' AND newstaff.salary < 17000.00 THEN 17000.00
WHEN newstaff.job = 'Sales' AND newstaff.salary < 14000.00 THEN 14000.00
WHEN newstaff.job = 'Clerk' AND newstaff.salary < 10000.00 THEN 10000.00
ELSE newstaff.salary END;
END

I can do for Work Bench (SQL Developer) not validate that DB2 must carry primary keys?
I can do for Work Bench (SQL Developer), I can turn triggers the 2 above?
Greetings

to follow up the root cause of ORA-02270 it would be good to get the DB2 table definition as the table is defined in the Oracle database.
For the other issue with the trigger, please have a look at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/migration/db2-084087.html
=> it lists which objects the migration supports as:
Supported Migration Objects
     Tables
     Views
     Indexes
     Users
     Constraints
=> so no triggers.

Format for help which will actually help

There is absolutely no room for sarcasm or ignorant answers as this doesn't help anyone. Even grammatically correct sentences are wasteful.
Basically through troubleshooting my own problem I've devised a format that would have helped me had adobe or even another user simply followed this format instead of pages of impossible to navigate "problems" and "solutions" that never truly apply to what I'm experiencing. We've all been there.
Please restrain from wasting digital ink by responding to this out of ignorance assuming I haven't done some incredibly simple step.... don't insult my intelligence, its rude and destroys any faith in this company or its community of users. By the time you make it to the forums its a guarantee you have already restarted your computer, uninstalled/re-installed, repaired permissions, and lord help you, checked for an update........ the last one, the absolute last thing anyone wants to hear.
Specifically I have been dealing with error 1301: unable to update adobe reader because the file has been modified since last update.
I could say a bit of comedic lines on this, since there isn't enough hours in the day for me to even think about rooting around adobe reader files, aint nobody got time for that.... but I won't because I want people to be helped by this article.
Begin improved format:
problem:
error 1301 when updating acrobat reader, files modified since last update
versions:
Mac OS X 10.7.5 operating system
(also adobe reader version when problem began, did not have access to this information at the time of this writing, probably around version 4.3 though )
precedent: (in order so it is possible to follow the persons trouble shooting path)
1. restarted computer
2. uninstalled and re-installed adobe reader ---------upon next update same error appeared----------
3. followed these steps for root login http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1528 per the instructions from the link (details) that was displayed in the error window http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-update-errors-acrobat-reader.html
Question(s):
1.with the root enabled do I just install adobe reader in the root account, and if so will that mean adobe reader will be available in my account? (they are different logins even though my account is the administrator)
2. will I have to leave the root enabled? (it is recommended to disable the root if you do not use it often per the above linked instructions)
3. Are my security settings interfering with adobe's attempts to update? ( I have a firewall, my hard drive is encrypted and my system settings all require administrator password when doing anything)
end of a well formulated post
What I hope is accomplished by this post:
1. that this problem will be addressed (for real) in future updates.... since the world relies on this software it has to work and work every time without wasting client time, that is adobe's burden and one they rather like since they get a lot of money off of it.
2. that this community will start posting questions in ways that problem trends can be easily recognized, and easily navigated by reducing the amount of complaining posts where everyone voices how they all have the same problem, but no one has an answer worth reading.
No one has time to scroll through long pages of sarcastic complaints.

example response:
I'm also curious if there is any interference with updates when you have adobe reader and acrobat pro installed

EMIGALL performance for migration object OBJCLASS

Hi all,
my previous question, was Classification of IFLOT & EQUI via CLB2 / CLB1 & was focused on improving performance of classification of IFLOT & EQUI objects.
Testing EMIGALL for migration object OBJCLASS I am seeing no performance gains between a single thread update & parallel update threads. IE the single thread throughput is reported as ~the same as the parallel threads throughput combined.
I note in the job logs of my various tests;
for a single thread, that no messages are logged between the start & end of the migration.
for parallel threads, that message C4 200 'Class "CLASSNAMEHERE" is locked' appearing many times.
I don't see any unexpected migration errors in ether case.
Are there any insights on how I might improve over all throughput using this method? I cant see any control parameters for this object, nor does the Guideline have much information on OBJCLASS.
First world problems :-/

Hello Daniel,
Without having much insight into your system and infrastructure details or the volume that you are working with, I suggest for you to try below for performance improvement.
1. Run DB Statistics on functional location and Equipment related tables such as EQUI, IFLOT, ILOA, etc. (these are HLO objects that you are updating by way of classification). Also update classification table such as AUSP. These tables mentioned here as a starting point.
2. Also strongly suggest that a performance trace be done on this job to analyze and identify another table or steps that may be a performance bottleneck and maybe a candidate for DB statistics refresh Or some other corrective action.
3. The locks maybe occurring due to a mass update which is as expected. Perhaps to get by that you may want to use "commit buffering allowed" option for this migration object and set to say a number "10" or "20" to start with and see if it helps better the performance. As you would have noticed, locks will also impact performance.
4. Please also refer to Cookbook for ISUMIG Performance and refer to sections for DEVICE, CONNOBJ and DEVLOC. These are HLO objects for classification and there may be some useful insight in that document too.
Hope this helps.
Ash

How do I know what are custome code deployed on my site for Migration from 2010 to 2013

We have around 500 sites and several Webapplication. Now we want to migrate site from SharePoint 2010 to 2013
We will use Metalogix tool for Migration. However we want to know which custom changes site Have , SO those WSP we can deployed on 2013, So that Site will work fine After Migration.
SO question is there is any way where I can find what customization site have ?
I want poweshell which will tell me these WSP have deployed on this Sitecollection , SO that only those I will deploy on 2013 ? ALso
Suppose I have created Workflows through designer , is there any powershell which will tell me these workflow have deployed on particular site, so that I can check is those Migrated successfully or not.
Please mark answer , if you think answer is helpful or correct.

Help! Firewire problem!

I just bought a clamshell ibook on e-bay. I like these machines very much (they're tough and quirky), and in fact I have one already as a second machine, but the one thing I really missed was Firewire.
I went for collection in person, as it wasn't too far away. The previous owner is a nice lady who kept the machine in lovely condition. She'd never used the Firewire at all. While she had it, she'd run Jaguar on it, but had put OS 9 back on it to sell.
I plugged in the DVD drive and put a CD in it. It powered up and ejected its tray when required, but nothing appeared in the Finder (which appears to be all muddled up with the Desktop; I don't think I take to OS9). I tried the portable hard drive (which has a boot system of Tiger in it). The boot loader (boot and press Option) didn't seem to see it, and it didn't appear on the desktop.
On the other hand, nothing reported an error. I ran Apple Hardware Test. It reported no problems. Does the 'logic board' check test the IO as well? More to the point, I looked at the hardware profile, which reported a Firewire device present.
I guessed it seemed more like a driver problem than anything else, so I bought the machine (nervously). It's a lovely little machine, very clean and pretty, I only hope it isn't a lemon...
I had some vague assumption that some sort of System Extension might need to be loaded, but apparently the Firewire one is loaded.
I'd expect filing system/mass storage to work between OS9 and X, because 9 and X both support mass storage (otherwise all those flash drives wouldn't mention 'OS 9 and up' on the packaging) and use Mac OS Extended.
Things power up. The hardware test and system profiler report firewire devices, but nothing appears on the desktop, and the Disk-Utility-type things don't mention the firewire devices.
If it's a problem with the things I want to use being bus-powered that's infuriating. The DVD drive doesn't even have a power-supply, and the tiny hard drive has one somewhere which I've mislaid. I wanted something where I could just dig out the device I wanted to use and attach it, without fuss or extra power bricks or cables. I'd normally assume that there's enough bus power for one device at a time on the system's main port, though, just like USB.
The Help, isn't (starting from the vital point that things will appear on the desktop, and not being forthcoming about what happens when they don't). It did mention powering up the device when it was connected, which is why I started wondering about self-powered external devices.
Sigh. Macs Just Work. Except when they Just Don't.
I don't really intend to use OS9, but I feel I ought to make sure the firewire works before I even think about putting OS X on it.
Regards, Ruth

Replying to my own question in case this bites anybody else in the bum.
The problem was, as I suspected, that OS 9 needs more drivers than OS X does. This is murkified by the point that there is ****-all help about this available in OS 9 Mac Help, which does its best to suggest 'plug it in and it will mount', which suggests it has Mass Storage in the same way that OS X does. This isn't necessarily the case. In OS 9.0.4, which is what this clamshell came with out of the box, it needed drivers for any drives added, even fairly straightforward things like optical drives or (HFS+) hard drives.
Unfortunately, most of the help I could find did not clarify this, and when I mounted the drive I was trying to test on the USB port, OS 9.0.4 (a.k.a. 'junkware excuse for an OS, it's as bad as Windows 95, really it is') told me the drive wasn't formatted and did I want to initialise it, which wasn't what I wanted to hear, especially since I knew it was HFS+ formatted and had a Panther clone from the other clamshell on it.
I tried to run the firmware updater, but it told me it needed at least OS 9.1. At this point I was really tearing my hair out, but luckily a helpful gentleman from my local user group pointed out that Apple supplies an upgrade to 9.1 on the Web, presumably as legacyware for people trying to get OSX onto OSX-supporting OS9 machines.
The helpful gentleman said, upgrade to 9.1, upgrade the firmware, upgrade to 9.2 and you should probably be able to see your externals from that point.
I downloaded it, booted the problem clamshell from its install CD, ran the 9.1 upgrade and the firmware upgrade
(also downloaded from the web) without any problems, and to my surprise discovered that either 9.1 or the firmware upgrade had fixed the problem: I could now mount the DVD-Rom drive and the external HD on Firewire without any problems.
The boot loader on the Option key didn't seem to add the new firewire disc to the list of bootable discs; OTOH selecting it as a startup disc now worked.
Since the machine cloned-from was also a clamshell so I wasn't going to have any major compatibility problems (the only differences were bigger hard drive, more memory, and firewire), I booted from the external and checked everything worked, wiped the internal, and cloned from the external boot disc with Carbon Copy Cloner, then removed the external so it would boot from panther on the internal.
This worked as expected. I'm not sure why I had so many problems with the boot loader (holding down the option key at boot only seemed to show the internal disc), but I've now got a better clamshell with firewire, so if my mac mini breaks I can attach its hard drive (Firewire) to the clamshell, and I can use the clamshell to check my backup DVDs away from home, and I can attach the Topfield hard drive recorder under the telly to the clamshell's USB and spool programmes off it onto the firewire drive which has more space. So I've now got the things I wanted firewire for, and a better clamshell.
The helpful gentleman told me Mac OS 9.0 has far more in common with 8.6 than OS X, and the reason it can't see modern Mass Storage drives is that they came along since Mac OS 9 itself, and were only supported in 9.1. 9.1 actually does have more in common with OS X.

Please help about firewire card

hi i have to buy one audiocard firewire for my PowerBook
I need to buy it soon before i go in holidays !
please council to me :
is better the Presonus Firebox , or the Focusrite Saffire ??
I use logic pro 7.1
is much apreciate help !!
grazie !!!

This is a uk leading magazine editor reply to me,
Hi Ken,
I just reviewed the Saffire unit and it seems very good for the price, particularly the mic preamps, which are based on the Focusrite Green series. If you can't afford RME or one of the other big interfaces, then Saffire seems like a good choice and the included plug-ins are pretty good too other than the guitar amp simulator, which is somewhat rudimentary.
And i've just place my order after reading all this review...
Saffire Reviews
Play - UK Magazine - July 2005
"Combining the I/O control in SaffireControl with the kind of pre-amp quality you'd expect from Focusrite, and the awesome tracking and monitoring plugs that require zero CPU from your computer, means it's true - you really can simulate a professional recording session in the comforts of your own bedroom, and all for under £350. For me, that's not just a giant step, that's the moon and back!"
Read the full review
"The package also offers a flexible software application called 'SaffireControl', which enables you to perform a number of nifty functions."
"One thing I liked a lot was Focusrite's obvious desire to make Saffire appeal both to seasoned pros and newbies alike. When using these plug-ins, you can toggle between user-friendly templates for vocals, guitars, pianos and other instruments, or open up the plug-in and get into more specific tweaks with conventional controls."
"Focusrite have even made this simple with a 'float' button that keeps the control surface open at all times."
"It gets better, as monitor reverb can also be set up to aidthe recording process. Again, this is an adjustable control that allows you to set an amount (dry/wet mix), a room size, the diffusion level and a clever tone control, which filters various. The single dial is capable of producing low-pass, hi-pass and band-pass tone, so finding a useful setting shouldn't be a problem."
"Using this system, and the handy labels on the outputs themselves, Saffire is capable of producing surround mixes in both 5.1 and 7.1. In fact, you could make almost any system you wanted, including direct feeds for stereo monitors and a sub bass unit for example."
"There's a lot to like about this box. It sounds great, does what it's supposed to and yet has plenty of tricks up its sleeve. SaffireControl is focusrite's ace in the pack here, and is designed to appeal to both the novice and the experiences user."
"I suspect Saffire will do very well. Despite looking like a departure from their existing range, Focusrite have actually drawn from their strengths here by combining their M-Box experience with years of proud dynamics processing history, and it's a winning combination."
Build - 8/10
Value for Money - 9/10
Ease of Use - 8/10
Versatility - 9/10
Quality of results - 9/10
"Sounds great and will appeal to complete novices and cynical pros alike."
Jono Buchanan, Future Music, September 2005
Saffire redefines the use of FireWire interfacing, providing a unique DSP input processing system, software mixing and integral VST/Audio Unit effects. Most importantly, however, despite adding considerably more functionality than the Mbox, the Saffires retail price still falls under the £350 mark its a lot of interface for a relatively small outlay.
Pleasingly, the unit seems to have been put together with an informed understanding of the demands placed on an audio interface during recording:
By having eight outputs, the Saffire is clearly equipped for surround applications; however, by having four separate stereo outs, Saffire also enables you to configure separate headphone and monitor mixes (something impossible to achieve with basic, two-output audio interfaces).
SaffireControl, however, takes this idea one stage further by using the software to access Saffires DSP chip thereby opening up the potential of processing a signal as it goes to tape.

Deprecated value for migration

Hi All,
I have to migrate a database of version Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 to Oracle 10gR2.
Can anyone is able to help me out for figuring out the Deprecated value which shoud be taken care from application prospective.For examplae if i will compile the procedure in new database environment it should not through any error related with datatype ...e.t.c.
Thanks in advance.

first check whether your application is compatible to 10g or not. if so, you can try an upgrade of test machine and check application connectivity. once done, do the same in production. almost all datatypes are still there in 10g also(excpet few, for them refer to 10g doc)
