How hard to make an clone aim client?

how hard is it to make my own chat program but it can also communicate with aim and msn?

Because AOL and Microsoft don't distribute the specifications to those freely. It hurts their advertising and they'd be scared people would use it and make their own servers and such..... Business.

I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

My husband uses adobe cs5. The clone tool isn't working and after resetting the tools adobe bridge now goes to picasa. How can we make the clone tool work and have bridge go to cs5 not picasa?

The Mac HD has booting issues - how do I make a clone that is free of these?

I spilled water on my MacBook Air (10.6.8) and now it has booting issues.
When I shut it down, the power button doesn't work to boot it. But when I close the lid, it powers up. However even when I shut it down AND close the lid, it keeps booting up and staying on.
So I have to send it for repairs.
I cloned the Mac HD using Carbon Copy Cloner and put the clone using Migration Assistant onto the new machine (MacBook Pro - 10.7.2). Now the MacBook Pro won't boot at all. Before this, it was working fine.
So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
I have to make a clone of the MacBook Air before I send it off for repairs as the last back up is quite old and out of date.
Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
I think the booting problem is a software problem because the MacBook Pro was working perfectly before I migrated the Mac HD of the MBA onto it, The MBP is only two days old. I migrated another Mac HD backup (one I made before the booting issues came up) onto the MBP on the first day I bought it and the MBP worked fine.
Do you think I will just have to clone things separately manually? I mean should I format an external hard drive, plug it in the USB port, and transfer the files I need to save? What files/folders should I save? Can I move folders or do I have to move files? I have many files in Desktop, Downloads, Documents. I also want to save my applications. I want to save the BookMarks of Opera, Firefox.
Will this take a long time? I have used about 200 GB of the MBA's hard drive.
Any advice? Thanks.
I don't use Time Machine and am not confident about using it. Will it be substantially different to CCC in the way it clones files? Will a Time Machine clone after migration contaminate the second computer with booting issues?
I am not so worried about the booting issues on the second computer. I know it's from the faulty clone and nothing to do with the machine itself. I can take it to Apple Genius Bar and they will probably be able to reinstall a new operating system on the machine and I can start from scratch, I think. I am more worried about how to save and restore my data from the old machine. Thanks for any advice.

Ok, you used Migraine Assistant to try to transfer the account from the clone drive to the MBP and it didn't work, that's ok, it can be fixed by command r booting into Lion Recovery and simply erasing and reinstalling Lion from Apple's servers. (AppleID)
I suggest you transfer the account data manually because the clone is a copy of a failing drive/corruption, use the same name in System Preferences >Accounts, drag and drop files transfer and hold option key, click on Purchases in crapStore to redownload to the new machine, install other programs from fresh sources. Cleaner machine that way. So that shoudl fix the MBP.
in the future, try to avoid Apple's "answers" like Migraine Assistant as much as possible, it's really not reliable in any sense in actuality.
So I want to know how to make a clone of the Mac HD of the MacBook Air that won't have booting issues when I migrate the clone to another machine.
You can't boot a clone of OS X from another type Mac on another type Mac, only the same exact machine model.
In your case the Migraine Assistant didn't work, so you'll have to manually install.
Also the fact that the Mac HD of the MBA has booting issues affects the ability to access the Boot Camp (Windows 7 partition) as now I can't even boot the new machine. (But I am asking about Boot Camp in another section.)
Well it's possible that Windows or something messed up the GUID partition map of the Mac, why it has booting issues. Likely why Migraine Assistant didn't work.
You'll have to set up BootCamp again on the new MBP machine, talk to Microsoft about validation on the new machine and return your Windows files, programs from fresh sources.
Likely you got malware and it was trying to write to the boot sector of the Mac, mistaking the MBR portion of the GPT for a full Windows one. This also happens when Mac users try to install Linux on their Mac's.
Unless you need full hardware performance, you really should look at virtualization software like VMFusion, Parallels Desktop or even VirtuaBox (might be outdated) and run Windows in a window on OS X instead. Much easier to recover from malware that way.
It seems like a catch-22 situation. I can't fix the booting problem until I send it off to the repair center to get the computer fixed. And yet the booting problem is preventing me from making a usable clone of the Mac HD.
Well if you make a clone, it's going to be junk any.
What you need to do is fix the new MBP machine first then use Firewire Target Disk Mode (firewire 800/400 cable and adpater if needed) and grab a copy of your files off the sick Mac or off the sick clone.
The drive is likely fine, it's just not booting and that could mean some sort of malware/drive/data corruption.
You'll have to install third party software on the new fixed MacBook Pro to read the NTFS drive format of the Windows 7 bootcamp parittion when the sick MacAir is in Firewire Target Disk Mode.

How do I make a clone of the Boot camp partition?

My MacBook Air (10.6.8) is having problems and I need to send it away for repairs. Before I do that I want to make a clone of everything and put it on my new MacBook Pro (10.7.2)
I am making a clone of the Mac partition using Carbon Copy Cloner. That has worked well as a backup for me.
The only problem is I need to make a clone of the Boot camp partition (Windows partition) and I don't know how.
I want to make an exact clone so it has all the operating system, files and everything.
The other question is when should I make a Bootcamp partition?
Should I migrate the clone to the new mac using Migration Assistant, and then make a boot camp partition? And then what are the exact steps putting the clone onto the boot camp partition?
Thanks for any help.

Here are some previous coments made on this forun regarding backup of a Boot Camp partition. I use Paragon HDMSuite 2011.
Casper 6 does seem to work;
WinClone was handy for XP users but doesn't for instance check for errors during the backup only during restore. Winclone was discontinued at 2.2, all 2.3 versions are hacks (removal of the OS check seems to be the main thing) There has been no deveoplment or support for a while now.
Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
Ghost 15 - probably not
Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great
and they have CampTune
Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
Since this is you first time backing up your partition, I would suggest using one of the Backup Wizards. They'll guide you through the backup process and keep you from doing something wrong Similarly, use the Restore Wizard to restore your partition/drive.
HDMS 2011- back up a dual-boot Mac to an external USB drive, do:
1) Boot from the Recovery Disk (I'm assuming that the backup hard drive is attached before you reboot)
2) Select Paragon Hard Disk Manager
3) Launch the Backup Wizard by selecting Wizards > Backup Wizard
4) Select the Mac hard disk (not the partition) where it asks "what to backup"
5) On the Backup Destination page, select "Save data to any local drive or a network share"
6) Hit the radio button for the "Save to local drive option" (unless you got a boatload of DVD's )
7) Select the external USB drive as the backup destination
8) Look over and correct the name and comments
9) Hit Next to start the backup
When it's done, you have an entire copy of your Mac's HD saved to external media.
If you need to recover your HD, just run the Recovery Wizard and reverse the process.

Okay, I'm an idiot. How do I make a clone?

I want to install Leopard on my Mac Pro. But at the moment I don't have anything backed up (I know, spank me). A friend who is totally computer proficient suggested I buy a new internal hard drive, install it, clone my hard drive onto the new drive, perform a clean install (erase and install) of Leopard on the hard drive I'm currently using and then use migration assistant to move my existing files back onto the drive running Leopard and finally, designate the new drive that I used for the clone as the destination drive for backups created with Time Machine. That sounds like a very thorough, logical, not-too-difficult plan. Unfortunately, there are a few problems:
A) I have no idea how to go about creating a clone. I've searched this forum, but can't seem to find any instructions. Someone at the Apple store said, "Oh, just download SuperDuper." But I just checked the SuperDuper site and it says their current version of SuperDuper isn't completely compatible with Leopard. If I use SuperDuper to create the clone will there be problems? If I use SuperDuper will it be obvious how to use the software to create a clone?
B) Can you simply use DiskUtility to create a clone of the hard drive on the new drive?
A few facts to help you: The machine is a MacPro with Intel processors. I'm running OS X (10.4.11) with a 750 GB hard drive (with approximately 500 GB available space). I bought a 750 GB hard drive (exactly like the existing hard drive) to use as the destination drive for the clone.
Any help/advice would be appreciated!

SuperDuper - http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html - will do the job for you cloning your current system - I expect there should be a Leopard update out soon
Or Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) - http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html - will clone your current system and will work with Leopard - I use it and am happy with it - other prefer SuperDuper - both are good
With CCC cloning is easy - run CCC and tell it to clone your system to your new hard drive and at the end bless it (literally) so you can boot from it if need be

How hard to make a website like this one ?

Hi, I hope I don't stress people with my status, but I'm a
complete newbie with desire to learn. I just figured out we have
Dreamweaver at school in the Mac studio, adobe version if I recall
correctly and I wanted to make a band website with it, but couldn't
understand where to start.
So first, since I don't want to hire anybody to do it for me,
I would like to know how hard it would be to make a website like
this one :
http://franzferdinand.co.uk/
In my logic, the first step would be to create a background
image with the menu drawn in it then add buttons to them to
navigate. I would then add the content boxes with scroll bars using
the draw div function.
My second question, how do I go about learning this software
? Are courses given somewhere ?
Thanks, Francis.

If you know nothing of web design and development, it's going
to be hard.
Not that you can't do it. It's just going to take you a lot
of time and
effort to get up to speed on things.

That isn't how that site was built nor the best way to to it.
The site in
question is fairly basic HTML and then styled with a lot of
well put
together CSS.
> My second question, how do I go about learning this
software ? Are courses

Don't learn Dreamweaver. Instead, learn HTML, CSS,
Javascript, etc. Getting
a basic understanding of HTML and CSS will then allow you to
figure out
Dreamweaver fairly intuitively, plus you'll have a MUCH
better framework of
understanding to work from.
And feel free to ask questions in here!

How do i make a clone to an external drive w/o erasing data

I have a 500gb external firewire that i want to make a clone too.
how do i use carbon copy cloner or super duper ( i have both..which one is better) to make a clone to the external without erasing the data already on the drive?
i want to make a clone before i delete a partition on my main drive so i can install bootcamp on it. (i guess u can only use bootcamp assistant if your main drive is only one partition)

You can't. either of the programs will erase the drive it is cloning to. If you have enough space you can create an extra partition on your external (this can be done without erasing any data) and clone your internal to the empty partition. both CCCloner and superduper! are great programs and you can use either one.

How do I make it so my client can edit Links in business catalyst when they create new pages?

Okay so essentially I have built a site in Muse uploaded to business catalyst and I've setup a site template so that the client can create new pages as each new course arrives, but how do I get the link from the homepage to link to the new page? basically I need the link to be editable.
What would be ideal is a kind of portfolio layout where there is a thumbnail and a new page but for my client to be able to add a new project adn it would create a thumbnail on the homepage and a new page that he can edit. Does anyone know of something like that possible in Business catalyst?

Hi
Editing with Business Catalyst only works with image or text editing , we cannot add new page or page items using in browser editing.
However, you can manage the site from BC end when your client and login to admin and add pages, modify etc, but if you re-publish the site from Muse then then changes will be overwritten.
Thanks,

How do I make a backup of an external disk?

I have an external disk that is formatted in Mac Extended Journal on which I keep movie files and photos.
I had some bad experiences in the past with my first MacBook Air (version 2.1) in which external drives kept getting erased without any good reason. I think it's due to the fact that I had to connect a USB cord to another computer when I had an external drive plugged into the MBA because the MBA could not power it on its own.
I thought it was due to a bad external drive and I took it to Samsung service center and complained that their drive was malfunctioning. I got a refund. But later on, I found that the same thing happened to another external drive and to a USB flash drive, so I realized that it had nothing to do with the external disks and something to do with the computer. I used the same drives that got erased on a newer MacBook Air (version 3.2) and I never had the sudden erasure problem.
Anyhow that's the background to why I want to make a clone of the external disks in my possession. If for some reason, the external disk gets suddenly erased, I would like a copy somewhere in safekeeping so that I do not lose all my movies.
How do I make a clone of an external disk?
I will be using a MacBook Air (3.2) for this task. It has two USB ports. Can I use Carbon Copy Cloner to do this? Just choose a source disk (external disk I want to clone) and a destination disk (the external disk where I want it to be cloned to)?

Many backup utilities like Carbon Copy Cloner and Super Duper can be used to clone drives. They can also clone boot drive to make bootable clones. They use "smart" backups in that they only update what has been changed from the previous backup. That is what you need too since you intend to use USB which is not that fast.
With CCC you can set up a task to start the backup automatically when you plug the backup in and it mounts.
FWIW I use CCC to make daily backups of my disks (scheduled backups can be done by these utilities).

How do I make a bootable hard drive clone of my main disk in my mac pro?

Hi everyone,
How do I make a bootable hard drive clone of my main disk in my mac pro?
My main drive has bad sectors and I want to replace it.
Thanks in advance

Also your Mac's Disk Utility can make a bootable clone;
http://macs.about.com/od/backupsarchives/ss/diskbackup.htm
Consider though, if your internal HD is failing and defective, then any clone however made, may carry that defect.
Perhaps it would be better to copy your personal data, photos emails etc, to an external drive as well, just in case the clone did not work because of the failing hard drive.

Am using Macbook pro mid 2010 running on OSX 10.9.5. It does not read my old Seagate back up plus ITB ext hard disk which opens and works on snow leopard. The back ups were made on snow leopard and mountain lion. How do I make it work on Mavericks?

I have been making back ups on a Seagate Back up plus drive on a macbook pro running on Mountain lion. Sadly the mac was stolen and all I had was the seagate back up. I tried opening it on my old iMac running on snow leopard and after several visits to this forum managed to open it. The data was safe and sound. Now I have received a hand me down macbook pro which runs on osx 10.9.5. I'm assuming there is a compatability issue as the drive does not come on at all when I hook it up to the usb port. I checked the seagate drive once again on the imac and its light came on on that system. Then I suspected there may be a problem with this macbook pro usb port. But it seemed to work fine when i hooked my camera cord into it. Is it that I must reinstall mavericks. In which case how do I back up before reformatting or reinstalling. BTW I did the command+ R thingy and repaired my internal Hard disc which was showing errors. What do I do next, your help is most appreciated if you have had a similar problem.

Your 2010 MBP would be able to handle Yosemite, but I would strongly suggest that you get the current problem sorted out before trying to upgrade to Yosemite. I'd also recommend another backup that isn't created by Time Machine if you are thinking of upgrading. SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner can make bootable clones of hard drives. If you clone your existing system to a fresh external drive, you would be able to boot from that drive and recover quickly in the event that your Yosemite upgrade didn't work out. Time Machine backups are not 100% reliable.
It's possible that, if your internal HD is the one that shipped with your MBP in 2010, it may be failing. If it keeps needing repairs, that is probably a sign that it is approaching the end of its useful life.
Have you run Disk Utility's Repair tool on the external drive as well?
I mentioned the hub because some people have reported here that attaching their USB 3 drives through a USB 2 hub solved some disconnection problems. A good-quality powered USB 2 hub won't cost much.
My most recent brush with random disconnections involved a nice new OWC drive enclosure. I used the cable that came with the drive, but the drive kept disconnecting. Using a different cable solved the problem. You wouldn't expect that what appeared to be a high quality cable would be a problem straight out of the box, but it was.

How can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open?

how can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open? I just wan't to make a backup to my pictures not my entire computer so how does Time Machine work on that?

you could also clone the drive or volume, or just some of the user folders. look for carbon copy cloner, then enable the "use checksum to insure file integrity."
you can have multiple iPhoto Library catalogues in different locations.
Continue to use TimeMachine and make sure it has 350% or more capacity than your system and data.

External Hard drive... How do I make it a bootable?

I have an older ibook G4 running 10.4.11 and I have never used an external hard drive to make back ups. I know that has been foolish, but up until now I did not consider the data I had on my hard drive to be irreplaceable. I want to purchase an external hard drive but being a novice I really am unsure what to buy or even how to use it properly. I would like to be able to boot from it so I can do diagnostics and repairs to the ibook. My main question is how do I make an external hard drive a "bootable" drive? Should I purchase a firewire drive, or can a USB drive also be bootable.
Any suggestions on which drives might be best would also be appreciated.
thanks in advance

[USB Info and Benefits of Dual-Channel USB|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25908]:
"Beginning with the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) and the iMac (Slot-Loading), two new features to USB are most apparent: support for USB audio devices and booting from USB drives.
Bootable USB drives: A storage device such as a SuperDisk, Zip disk, or other USB storage drive can be used to hold a valid system folder and used at startup."
That said, it is usually recommended you buy a Firewire connection external drive (may also have USB) for booting. www.mac-sales.com is a good place to start browsing, though there are many other vendors too. Don't worry if a drive says needs Windows. That refers to using their backup software which you don't need, though there are a few enclosures which use chip sets that have problems with Macs for booting, that's why it is best to get one with an Oxford chip set.
For the external drive to be bootable you need to clone your internal drive to the external. Carbon Copy Cloner (donation ware from bombitch.com) and SuperDuper (shareware) are two popular cloning utilities. Cloning insures that invisible system files critical to booting also get copied.
Make sure the external is as large as, or slightly larger than your internal. Some people buy very large external drives so they have extra space for storage. There's nothing wrong with that except they forget that should the external fail they do not have a backup for all the extra files they put on the external! If you do buy a larger external it is handy to partition the drive so one partition matches the size of your internal drive. It's just easier to have a one to one copy rather than mixing up the files.

How can I make a server differ between two or more clients?

How can I make a server differ between two or more clients?
The clients can connect and talk to the server fine, but how can I make the server talk to one, two or all clients? i.e. what would be a good way to implement this?
Currently, the server listens for connections like this:
while (listening) {
try {
new ServerThread(this, serverSocket.accept()).start();
I guess one way would be to add the ServerThreads to a Hashtable with the client ID as key, and then get the ServerThread with the proper client ID, but this seems unnecessary complicated. Any ideas?

Complicated was perhaps the wrong word, I should have
written something like it doesn't "feel" right. Or is
this a common and good way to solve communication
between a server and multiple clients?Thats pretty much how I do it. I normally use an array or ArrayList of Sockets instead of HashTable, with [0] being the first player etc.... Then you can communicate with exactly who you want. If you want to send bytes to all of them, just send the same thing to each socket individually (or is there a better way to do this?).
