How do I transfer my boot disc data to a new disc and have the new disc become the boot disc?
My original 500 Gb boot drive is full (~800 Mb available). I purchased a 1 Tb drive and installed it (no problems). Now I want to transfer everything on my original boot disc to the new drive and have the new drive become the boot disc. I would then wipe the original disc and use it for data backup.
Can I simply copy all the contents of the original disc to the new disc (this seems too easy...)? I am in that process, now, but am feeling insecure about it. I do have Time Capsule. However, when I went into it to restore to the new disc it wouldn't perform the task - maybe I am overlooking something...
Suggestions are welcome!
Thanks
Jim
No, the system won't 'copy' but you can clone it.

You could also copy or clone /Users to the new drive and leave the system where it is and free up most of the file space being used. OS X only needs 100GB. That way all the data is on the new drive.
And I think you want to add CCC along with TimeMachine to your backup strategy.

How do i transfer my iphoto events to an external hard drive and have the pictures remain within their original events? Every time i try it splits up all of my pictures one by one. You'd think you'd be able to just drag and drop the event, but no such luck. Help!!
What version of iPhtoo do you have?
To export the photos in an event use the file menu == export command - see the user tip on exporting for the available options
TO use your iPhoto library on an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

How can we transfer huge amount of data from database server to xml format

At first we create the internal table TYPES and DATA definition, we want to fill with the XML data. I have declared the table "it_airplus" like the structure from XML file definition for a better overview, because it is a long XML Definition (see the XSD file in the sample ZIP container by airplus.com)

Create XSLT program
There are two options to create a XSLT program:
Tcode: SE80 -> create/choose packet -> right click on it | Create -> Others -> XSL Transformation
Tcode: XSLT_TOOL
For a quick overview you can watch at the SXSLTDEMO* programs.
In this example we already use the three XSLT options explained later.
As you can see we define a XSL and ASX (ABAP) tags to handle the ABAP and XML variables/tags. After " -
How do i transfer all my old data from my old computer to my new one?
I recently purchased a new computer and have all my iPod data on that computer but now want all that data removed from that computer and put on this one. Is this possible? If so can you tell me how to do it. I own an iPod Mini
Your best bet is probably to use your iPod Mini in disk more to move all the files from one computer to another. This article can show you how:

How do I transfer my iTunes library from an old, slow pc laptop to a new(er), faster pc laptop? Do I have to make a copy of the iTunes library on the old pc laptop and re-install it on the new(er) pc laptop? Is it something that can de done using the actual iPod itself?
This is the method I would normally recommend:
Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.
You can use your iPod classic to move your library to a new computer but if you don't already have a backup copy of the library (and your other important data) now is the time to think about it.

i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?
Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

Now my question is how do I transfer the iTunes folder. I have authorised the new macair for iTunes and am within the 5 computer limit. -
How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.
Hey susanneyes,
Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.

How can we transfer product attributes from an already existing site? We have thousands of items and it would be tedious to do them one at a time. Is this possible through a CSV?
There are two parts to this:
1) It may be that you should have an Apple Education Support person helping you with this. If you have enough computers for this to be a problem, you may benefit from a Server, a site license, and an occasional visit from an Education Support Specialist.
2) The brief answer, if you want Individual Apple_IDs to control each computer, is to buy new copies of Mac OS X under those new Apple_IDs and re-download and re-Install. Mac OS X is customized to the Apple_ID before it is downloaded. -

how do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?
Ok.
I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
Hope I managed to provide enought info.
Thanks in advance -
I exported my passwords to a flash drive, and have a new computer. How do I get those passwords moved to the NEW machine?
Firefox doesn't have an "export" feature built into it for password data.
Exactly what did you do to "export" your passwords?
Did you use this extension?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/password-exporter/
If so, see the screenshots on that page to see the Import function.
If you copied the two files that are used for storing passwords from the old computer to back them up, just copy those 2 files into the Profile folder on the new computer to restore them.
