How do I migrate from 2.8GHz C2D to i7 SSD and HHD

Hi!
My new i7 Quad-Core iMac - 256 GB SSD /1TB Serial ATA - on Saturday. Using Migration Assistant to transfer the data from 2.8GHz C2D, I found that I was short 69GB of space; MA had fixed solely on the SSD. Googled the net for solutions. I decided to try Target Disk Mode. I was reassured to see that two hard drive icons appeared on the host screen: HD and HD2. HD is the SSD and HD2 is the Serial ATA.
Apple have installed the following six folders on the i7 HD/SSD drive: Applications, Home, Library, net, System and Users. My question is this: should I simply drag the similarly named folders on my C2D onto the i7 HD and HD2 icons, selecting, for instance, the Applications folder for the SSD and the Pictures/ Movies for the ATA? It this is OK, which Users /Library /System folders would be best suited to the SSD? I have a separate C2D folder for AppleWorks User Data; which drive should it be copied onto?
If the data has to be transferred in this way, won't there be two Applications folders, two Library folders, ... etc on the new computer?
Regards,
Declan.

I tried to disconnect everything from the motherboard including the backup battary, and then tried again after reconnecting everything to the motherboard with the old cpu, but the fsb is still locked to 133-233 instead of the 100-200. I guess something happened to the mainboard when I choosed load default values on startup when I tried with the new Pentium 4 2.8GHz Northood with 400 fsb and L2 cache of 512kb. I know that is supported as mentioned in this msi page http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=35&kind=1
I guess I have to try to find a new mainboard then, that fits my cpu, graphic card and memories. The graphic card is by the way a Geforce 4 5700LE with 256MB RAM if anyone has any suggestions.
...and no I can not flash the Bios since the system is not stable with the fsb at 133 instead of 100.

How do I migrate from a 2008 MacBook Pro without a video screen to a 2014 Macbook Pro?

Use your backup drive instead. No backup drive, then get a monitor and connect it to your computer. Or take the whole shebang to the Apple Store for help with the transfer. Or you can remove the drive from the old MBP and put it in an external enclosure.

How do I migrate from my old mac that lost its display to my new mac?

How do I migrate from my old iMac that lost its display to my new iMac?

That can depend on what model iMac is the old one. With some models it's relatively easy to remove the hard drive. once out, you can use a device like this:
Newer Technology Universal Drive Adapter USB 3.0 - connects any 2.5", 3.5" or 5.25" drive
to connect the old drive to the new Mac. It will show up exactly as if you had an external hard drive in an enclosure. Them you can access the drive.
Can you give us an idea of what iMac variant the old one represents? The are four broad families: G3; G5: G5, and Intel. You can usually find the processor information the same tag that has the serial number.
I believe that, if you enter its serial number in tis Apple web page:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
it will give you a description of the computer with the pertinent information.

How do I install bootcamp so I half both my ssd and hdd?

How do I install bootcamp so I half both my ssd and hdd for windows and lion?

Sorry about that one. There are THREE not just two, about SSDs, and the iMac SSD + hdd one.... well that one was private (not sure why).
Most questions have been asked/answered, multiple more than once, times, and therefore: public bookmarks and search please. (some gets asked almost daily, a few multiple times in one DAY of all things).
I'd like to see pdf guide and error messages, faq and how to articles re-written, updated, and checked for errors.
www.apple.com/support/bootcamp is where I usually send people to seek out the pdf and do some readiing and backups. you will need backup no matter what.
Windows won't install iwth two drives/devices with GPT so you have to remove or reformat the data drive for now.

How can I migrate from one user to another within the same computer?

My main user account in my desktop is becoming buggy after to many migrations from different computers and long time usage. I would like to migrate from one user to another user within the same computer to see if this improves my current problems.
How can I do it in a reasonably safe and quick way?
Thank you very much, cheers, Rui
iMAC, OS 10.6.8... and yes, I love Snow Leopard light and handy... and all my programs work on it...

Move small groups of files to the /Users/Shared/ folder or another location and see if the problems disappear. Moving everything to a new user account will in all probability transfer the problems.

How best to migrate from MacPro to iMac w/ SSD and extrenal drives

Currently I have a MacPro with 4 drives - 3 1TB and 1 2Tb, the 2TB drive is my main hard drive, so it has system, apps, documents, itunes etc....and it has been upgraded and migrated from one computer to the next as long as apple has had the ability to do so (and before that by moving over targeted drive manually). I currently am running 10.6.8 on the machine. I have ordered a new iMac w/ an internal 512gb SSD drive, and after speaking with an Apple rep, I got a THunderbolt enclosure to house my current 4 hard drives. Now my question is how best to get my preferences etc into the new computer w/o dragging along all the old stuff...(ie old apps not compatible w/ Mountain Lion, old system folders, etc). Here is what I would like to do:
1. setup SSD with OS, fresh installs of Apps, and my fonts (i am a designer and i have a gazillion fonts and they always take way to long to load into my font app).
2. I would like my 2TB drive to eventually just include my home directory where all my files, and such will be stored. But I would like to keep the drive as is to make sure everything is working just in case, I dont want to have any down time during the upgrade process (ie if a client calls me and needs something while I am still setting up I could boot off the 2tb drive and work). But after all is working properly then I would like to make it just the home directory and main place for all files etc
3. My remaining 3 drives are broken up for manual backups of my work on 2 of the drives, and then photos and mp3s on one, and movies and tv shows from itunes on the other. I dont currently run Time Machine or Retrospect or RAID....
I see most people saying to create 2 admin accounts, one that would stay on the SSD drive and the other which could be mapped to the 2TB drive and have its home directory there...but what do I do about moving preferences etc? is there a way when setting up that will let me import my current account and let me keep it on the external drive as is? should i move the files that i want to keep off the 2tb drive, wipe it to get rid of the old apps and system and then put back the home directory??I don't want to run into trouble with permissions, and I really dont even want to create 2 accounts because I hate having to close everything and log out for simple installs and updates...i have 2 on my macbook pro now and i run into errors all the time of i cant update this or that because of admin account...even though both accounts are set as admin.
I want to keep the whole upgrade simple, but I would like to keep this fresh system clean as am sure there is way to much left over garbage from upgrades past. So just not sure how best to do any of it.....

I purchased the DataTale RS-M4t SMART 4-Bay Thunderbolt RAID storage enclosure. But it can do both RAID if you get their data manager software download, or it can just mount the drives and be used normally. So basically I can plug all 4 of my current drives into it...and it into my iMac and it will be same as if I had it in my tower....so really not moving over a ton of stuff. I will load all apps fresh onto the brand new iMac - so the SSD will be a clean install...my worries are trying to get access to home directories etc on the current main drive and have things get setup correctly, keychains, bookmarks, etc...as well as my iTunes which has iPad and iPhone backups, etc. I am just not sure as how to best setup the SSD to get the most of its speed while being able to get my current account working but on the second external drive.

How do a migrate from a Wallstreet?

I'd love to join the ranks of those delighted with their migration to a new OSX machine. In my case, it is proving a little more complex. My old PowerBook G3 Pismo (circa 1999) died suddenly (possibly from the loss of a heat-sensitive fuse, I'm told), giving me the excuse to replace it at last with a very fast, not-quite-state-of-the-art PowerBook G4 (circa 2005).
In order to rescue my beloved files, apps, and settings, I needed to reincarnate the 2.5" internal drive - a Travelstar 2.5" in some device that would switch on. The first thing I tried was a proprietary, USB "enclosure" from Maplins. They didn't have firewire enclosures, but a USB one claimed to be OSX compatible. Big mistake. This just sat and clicked at a fast, regular, 3 clicks per second - which bofs told me was a sure sign of "mechanical failure" (I knew they were wrong - but could not prove it, and was nearly talked into paying £75 for diagnosis plus a further £500 for "recovery" of my "data" - which sounded like extortion to me).
Then I succeeded in plumbing it into an even older PowerBook Wallstreet (circa 1997) of my brother's. This was a straightforward operation requiring the removal of the keyboard, the heat-sink, and five screws (three phillips, two star-key - just fiddly enough to please geeks and deter richer "consumers" from attempting it at home). It powered up at once, like a dream - but only on the OS9 partition, since OSX is not retroactively compatible with the Wallstreet PowerBook. Unfortunately, this Wallstreet G3 was too ancient even to have it's own USB ports, let alone FireWire. Someone HAD installed a sort of PC card dongle that enabled both, so long as you booted up OS9 with two proprietary extensions. But there was simply not a hope in **** of getting this prehistoric notebook to emulate a firewire drive in order to perform the simple migration that most mac users rave about.
Undeterred, I connected the two machines via Ethernet. Here I encountered another problem: my classic OS9 could log on to my new G4 - but my new G4 refused to connect to it, claiming it used "an incompatible version of the AFP protocol." Any way round this? What is AFP, anyway?
OK. No problem. I got the old Wallstreet effectively to "push" all of its files, over the Ethernet, onto my new machine, placing them into a folder called Eric's HD. This is a slow process. As I write, there are still 8 hours to go. Nevertheless, I will have a copy, of sorts, of my complete OSX and Classic systems on my new computer.
Now. Here's the question. How do I get my brand new OSX Tiger to "Migrate" these old files, apps and preferences, onto my new OS - since they reside neither on "another Mac" (in FireWire "Target Disk" mode), nor on "another volume on this Mac that has OSX installed." They now simply live in a little folder on my new internal hard drive.
I know I could order a FireWire enclosure from MacAlly (@£39) and hope it behaves better than the two USB2 enclosures I have already tried. But what if, after waiting three days for delivery, I still get those clicks and nothing else? I really had hoped to complete my migation this weekend....
Anyone know whether Migration will work from a folder on your Drive 0 - or have any other ideas? I imagine it would be be tedious and risky to copy over all my library files by hand....

You're right, KAppy. I have been spending WAY too much time on this. Had I an enclosure which worked, I would have migrated at the drop of a hat days ago. But I AM attempting to migrate from one OSX to another (Panther to Tiger - aren't they similar enough?), and I didn't want to lose my applications and settings.
Unfortunately, the only thing I could lay my hands on which would enclose my disk and actually drive it, was an intermediary Wallstreet (borrowed from my brother). This older computer wouldn't boot my OSX system - but would start up from the old Classic folder.
You're also right that my mistake was trying to copy the hard drive by drag-and-drop. I thought that files invisible to OSX would still be visible to OS9, but I've now found a load of invisible files and folders were not copied. Had my G4 been able to talk to the Wallstreet, then I could have migrated, or used Carbon Copy, or whatever. But whilst the G3 could talk to the G4, the G4 annoyingly complained that the Wallstreet's 'AFP protocol' was 'incompatible' - what does that mean, anyway? Could I have chosen a different protocol on the OS9? - and refused to connect.
Anyway, thanks for the patient advice. I'll order a FireWire enclosure, which won't arrive for a few days - but which will then, I trust, actually work with my Travelstar 40Gig (the proprietary USB2 enclosures I tried simply wouldn't).
Meanwhile, I've now got the G3 to mount the Big Backup Drive via a FireWire device. Do you think OS9's Disk Copy could create an image of my OSX partition - and that this would then be recognised by the Migration Assistant?

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!
