How do I best migrate from a Dell xP desktop to an HP Pavilion a6157c desktop Windows Vista?

I need to move tons of photo files, addresses, Favorites, programs etc from the Dell xP to the HP Vista Home Premium.  I have a WD external HD to help out, but I'm not at all sure how to go about it safely.  And I need to share the HP with my wife, just as we are doing on the current Dell.  What should I be doing?  Should I set up the HP for sharing, and then move each user over to his/her section through the WD?  Many thanks!

Hi,
The Microsoft Easy Transfer is one method.  There are similar 3rd party products available. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928634
I have used Laplink products in the past and PC Mover worked well for me. http://www.laplink.com/index.php
You can't transfer programs.  They will have to be manually installed.

  • How to remove universal app from only one i-device in iTunes 11.1.3.8, Windows Vista computer

    Trying to delete iMovie from iPod Touch without removing it from iTunes and iPad. In other words, syncing with iTunes just adds it back to the device again.  Thanks.

    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Select the apps desired to sync.
    Sync.
    iTunes remembers sync settings per device.

  • How can I best prevent from automatically refocusing during movie mode recording?

    I believe my camera is automatically refocusing using the AF, and it's causing intermittent blurring within the playback.
    The lens that I am using with the Canon EOS 70D is the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM
    When I playback the recording, I can physically see the actual camera adjusting focus automatically, and it causes a major distraction since spur of the moment blurring is involved and in each case, it's about 1 second long.  I'm unsure what to do.  It seems like it occurs during low-light conditions more (especially if the low-light is in the background).
    Should I try increasing the IOS? I understand it goes up to 6400 for movie mode.
    I shoot using a Manfrotto 504HD,546BK Video Tripod Kit with 504HD Head and 546 Tripod - Black.  Some of the subjects are moving (camera is panning either while I am reporting or not moving as a stand-up reporter from a fixed location).  I shoot both inside and outside.
    I've tried using a Manual Focus before but I suffer the consequences when shooting outside as I don't get the best focus when trying to manually adjust the focus.  Perhaps I should switch between MF, then AF and back to MF again to have the best possible picture, as switching it back to MF again would carry over exactly from the AF I would imagine without any needed adjustments if I'm already ready to shoot the target I setup for. I work in both high, medium and low light and the problem persists.
    Please...any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I should preface with stating that I don't shoot video, and as such my knowledge of the details on dSLRs when in video mode is limited.  I'm making a lot of assumptions based off my use of them as still cameras.
    When shooting stills, and not in live view mode, cameras have several autofocus points, some of which are more precise and have better low light capabilities than others.  The center point is usually the best and many cameras have a center point that benefits from using a lens of 2.8 or faster.  These points can lock focus in less light than a point rated at say 5.6.  So your camera wouldn't be able to take full advantage of the 2.8 center point with the STM lens.  That said, if the camera simply can't decide which subject to use as a focus point and is flipping back and forth then having a faster center point doesn't make a difference.  Nor does it if you're using the outer points.  Of course, I think this whole conversation is moot since I believe the camera is essentially in live view mode when shooting video which means it's using a completely different AF system (contrast detection).  I just thought I'd mention it as a point of conversation.   You can always try the 24-70 and see how it performs, but to your point, the STM lenses are designed for video.
    Adjusting the ISO won't affect AF performance.  So continue using the lowest ISO that you can get away with.
    If I was in a situation where the camera was bouncing around AF and I didn't have external lighting, I would probably try to get the camera to set focus on my subject and then switch to manual.  Short of that, I don't think there's much you can do.

  • How to get Best Resolution from iPhoto to iDVD

    I have some excellent photographs in a slide show that I want to burn to iDVD. I have tried sending to iDVD but am not happy with the resolution. I have read on this forum that the resolution will always be less when transferred to iDVD.
    So my question is in two parts
    1. If using iDVD what steps can I take to ensure the best resolution? I can't crop to screen size at it ruins the composition.
    2. If not iDVD then what will give me resolution as good as or nearly as good as the original slideshow?
    Cheers
    Ollie

    Hi Olie,
    It's late so I'm to lazy to google it but is Australia PAL or NTSC? In North America we are NTSC. This means that a DVD will have a resolution of 720x480. It won't matter how high of resolution your files are or what program you use to create the DVD: a standard definition DVD will have 720x480 pixels. Next, the whole DV/DVD specification was designed for motion video, not for still images. So, in general, it is a good idea to apply at least a slight motion keyframe (Ken Burns effect). The following tutorial actually uses PS and After Effects but it gives you an idea:

    Of course there are some high-defination DVD options on the market now... in the $1,000 range for a burner!

  • Migration from Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 Server

    I am working on migrating Oracle 9i 32 bit to Oracle 10G 64 bit on Windows 2003 from Old server to new server. We have db around 500 GB and 3 schemas. I installed Oracle 10G on new server, created tablespaces, schema's blah blah and now doing export and import at schema level from old server to new server.
    Import is taking more than 4 to 5 hours on new server. My manager is saying, window time is bit longer and he wants me to try possiblities to make this process faster. Can some one help me on this, to use the best possible method to complete this process faster?
    Will below step work, if I try?
    If I install, oracle 9i and 10g both on new server in different home directories and take the hot backup from old machine and restore on new machine in 9i home directory and use the upgrade configuration assistant from 10g and do the upgrade? Pls advice.
    Thanks in advance,
    Hari babu

    It looks good.
    I have one question in below steps:
    To migrate an Oracle9i or older database to an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) database for 64-bit Windows:
    1 Perform steps 1 - 11 in "Migrating an Oracle Database 10g Release 1 (10.1) Database".
    2 Shut down the database on the 64-bit computer:
    SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
    3 Start the database migration:
    SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE;
    4 Migrate the database as described in Chapter 3, "Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle Database 10g Release" in Oracle Database Upgrade Guide.
    In step 4, it says, migrate database as described in chapter 3. In chapter 3, it says, to do the upgrade the process using dbca or manually. Pls confirm whether do the upgrade process after issuing startup migrate or not.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Windows 2003 SP2 servers migrating from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.5 without upgrading to Windows 2008 R2

    I have 3 Windows 2003 SP2 servers running IIS 6.0 and my client wants to upgrade to IIS 7.5 without having to upgrade the OS to Windows 2008 R2. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    No I'm afraid not. The full versions of IIS depend on the OS, so IIS6 on 2003, IIS7 on 2008, IIS7.5 on 2008 R2.
    The Express version of IIS can be installed on 2003 but that's for developers only so no use in your situation.
    Also worth nothing in terms of upgrading, unless your 2003 installation is 64-bit then you can only do an in place upgrade to 2008 IIS7. There's no 32-bit option with 2008 R2, and no way to do an in place upgrade between 32-bit and 64-bit, so if you really
    need to upgrade to IIS 7.5 then your only option would be to start with a new install and then migrate the websites from one server to another.

  • How do i prevent mozilla from displaying "authentification required" for every page? I am running windows xp on a windows server 2003 network

    it only happens once when I use the browser for the first time after logging in with the administrator account

    I have heard of this situation before, but, like most Apple Mail problems, it is a problem on the recipient's side. There should be no reason that a recipient can't save an inline image from an e-mail message. For years, Apple has bent over backwards to construct messages that PC clients will be able to view. Obviously there are limits as to what they will do.
    If you want to follow the standard procedure and hack up your e-mail for the benefit of others who refuse to upgrade, you can try Attachment Tamer. You could also try Microsoft Outlook. This won't change the underlying problem. It will just make it Microsoft's problem to deal with.

  • How can I get autoplay to work again? ipod touch 5th gen, ios7.1.1, windows vista and 7

    I've had this ipod for almost a year now and a few months ago my autoplay suddenly stopped working on both my laptop and my desktop. Laptop runs Vista (and is where my ipod is synced) and the desktop is Windoes 7. Since it still syncs fine I've been ignoring the problem but now i've got too many photos and need to make room. I've tied uploading through the dropbox app but there's a LOT of photos so it takes too long and the app crashes often. Even when autoplay would sometimes not work, the ipod would still show up in My Computer. Now there's noting. My computer isn't even recognizing it as a device. Only iTunes still notices it. I've gone through the support FAQ already but none of it works/applies. My ipod recieves a charge and the "Do you wan't to trust this computer?" dalouge shows up when it's unlocked. It sees the competer at the least.
    Deleting photos is NOT an option since they have no backup. This also means I'm trying to avoid reseting to factory settings UNLESS the backup of my ipod includes all my photos. I'm not sure if it does or not and there's thousands of  photos at risk so I' not making that move unless I know for sure that they're safe.
    I would really appreciate any advice anyone has.

    Try on another computer. Just do not sync with that computer.
    You can also try:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • HT1338 How do I migrate from G5 iMac (PPC) 10.4.11 to a new Intel iMac?

    I am running OSX Tiger 10.4.11 on an iMac G5 PowerPC from 2006. If I upgrade my hardware to a brand new Intel iMac running Mountain Lion as I am considering, how do I best migrate from my old machine to the new, problem free?
    I believe that I can't upgrade beyond 10.4.11 on my G5 as it isn't supported so my problem is a dual upgrade/migration one!
    I'm also aware that I can't run PPC software on an Intel Mac but I'm really having trouble getting my head around the problem of such a large, combined hardware and OS upgrade! HELP - what do I need to do?? Simple explantions only please!
    PS - Apologies if this aimed at the wrong community or it is not presented correctly - it's my first post!
    Many thanks,
    Len57

    Thanks Mende1; I know that PPC apps won't function on Intel machines but I can migrate the Universal apps, right? There is such a large gap between Tiger and Mountain Lion - can I still migrate files directly from one to the other taking the Universal apps as well? Sorry, I'm not very computer savvy!
