How to copy data from mac os x 10.4 to external drive

I plan to replace OS X 10.4 by 10.6 on my iMac processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and need to save the data to a G DRIVE.
I was told to copy file by file into the G DRIVE but that takes a lot of time.
Is there a better way?

If the files you are copying are very big or a lot of them it may take some time. There's really no faster way to copy out to a USB drive. It will take the time it takes.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    How do i copy data from mac book to an external hard disk drive?

    Click on the Desktop area (the area where there are no open windows or Dock)
    Look at the menu at the top next to the small Apple, it should say Finder
    Click on the File men and select New Finder Window
    Click on the File men and select New Finder Window (or stick in a disk, a USB, connect a hard drive and double click on the icon that appears on the Desktop)
    Grab the Window by the top area by clicking and holding the mouse button down so both are side by side.
    Click on the sidebar or open folders on the first window to get to where your files are
    Click on the sidebar or open folders on the second window to get to where your destination is going to be
    Click and drag the files or folder from one window to the other
    If this occurs between volumes, it will copy
    If this occurs on the same volume, it will move them
    If you want to copy on the same volume, use the Finder > File > Duplicate and move the copy

    Hi Ajay,
    let us consider you have to copy EKKO table to ZEKKO table
    1. In ABAP program define internal table based on EKKO
    <b>     eg: i_ekko</b>
    2. Select the data from EKKO to i_ekko
    <b>     eg: select * from ekko into table i_ekko.</b>
    3. insert into Z-TABLE from the internal table
    <b>     eg: INSERT EKKO FROM TABLE I_EKKO.
               COMMIT WORK.</b>
    <u>To insert in internal table you can use the following:</u>
    1. INSERT [wa INTO|INITIAL LINE INTO] itab [INDEX idx].
    2. INSERT [wa INTO|INITIAL LINE INTO] TABLE itab.
    3. INSERT LINES OF itab1 [FROM idx1] [TO idx2] INTO itab2 [INDEX idx3].
    4. INSERT LINES OF itab1 [FROM idx1] [TO idx2] INTO TABLE itab2.
    <u>To inert in database table, use the following:</u>
    1. INSERT INTO <dbtabname> [CLIENT SPECIFIED] VALUES wa.
    2. INSERT <dbtabname> [CLIENT SPECIFIED] FROM TABLE itab.
    3. INSERT <dbtab> [CLIENT SPECIFIED]. oder

    Hi,
    I think the needed techniques are already described in the documentation, e.g. in

    The main techiques used in the above example to bind the filter of the planning function to selected (marked) objects in the analysis item or to drop down boxes (or both). These techniques are used in the above examples.

  • How to copy data from one BB to another via Desktop Manager

    I've got two BBs (8900 and 9300), both actively in use and with different data (contacts, memos, etc.) on them.
    I need to copy my tasks, memos and contacts from 8900 to 9300. I tried "switch phones" option, but it substitutes data, while I need to syncronize it, so that data from 8900 is added to what is currently is on the 9300. 
    Is it possible to do it via Desktop Manager? It seems there was somewhere an option "copy data from another BB", but I can't find it in the latest Desktop Manager version.

    You would need to use Desktop Mangaer to sync BB1 with a local PIM program (such as Outlook or Lotus Notes) to get the information off BB1. Then use Desktop Manager to sync BB2 with the same PIM program. 

  • How to copy data from one planning area to other planning area

    Hi ,
    I need to copy data from one planning area to other planning area, the MPOS for two planning areas are differant and  here my scenario is one planning area having extra key figures.
    First i need to release forecast data to CIP planning area and then,  i load the data from infocube  to MPS planning area and copy the data from CIP planning area. here both MPS and CIP planning areas having different MPOS .
    Please help me in this. Please give me the stepls i need to follow.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Chandu

    Hi,
    You can use the transaction /sapapo/tscopy.
    In this you can configure your source plng area and destination plng area. You also have an option to map your KF. There is no problem if the MPOS are different as long as you are able to map the characteristics between the 2 MPOS.
    Alternatively, you can create an Infocube which shares common ground between the 2 planning areas and extract data from CIP plng area into the infocube and then copy teh data from infocube to MPS plng area using the the transaction /sapapo/tscube.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks

  • How to copy data from one table to another (in other database)

    Hi. I would like to copy all rows from one table to another (and not use BC4J). Tables can be in various databases. I have already 2 connections and I am able to browse source table using
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select ...");
    But I would not like to create special insert statement for every row . There will be problems with date formats etc and it will be slow. Can I use retrieved ResultSet somehow ? Maybe with method insertRow, but how, if ResultSet is based on select statement and want to insert into target table? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

    No tools please, it must be common solution. We suceeded in converting our BC4J aplication to PostgreSQL, the MSSQL will be next. So we want to write simple aplication, which could transfer data from our tables between these 3 servers.

  • How to copy photos from mac to iphone

    Is there a way I can copy photos from my mac to my iphone

    "Yeah but I cannot fleet them directly form my iphone"
    That is correct.  Photos synced from the computer to iphone are deleted the same way - the sync process.
    " I want the pictures in my camera roll is there any third party app that could do that"
    You can do this from the iphone itself or you can do it when you import them to your computer,  There is no need for an app.

  • How to restore data from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive

    My Macbook's hard drive had to be changed, and I'm trying to restore files from my Time Capsule onto my new hard drive, but all I see are three sparsebundle files (one for each Mac we have at home, including my computer/old hard drive). From that point I don't know what else to do. If I click on it, it opens a dialogue that says "opening volumes" and it stays on that for a while.
    Does anyone know how to restore data backed up in my Time Machine from previous backups onto a new hard drive? Does it have to do with these sparsebundle files? Or, is there another way?

    Hello Alexevich. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does anyone know how to restore data backed up in my Time Machine from previous backups onto a new hard drive?

  • How do I migrate from a former user account on an external drive after a clean install?

    This question has been partially answered before but not to my satisfaction and, from what I've found, not for Mountain Lion.
    My MBPr was running fine for a week after I transfered my User account to an external drive. After some reorganization I decided to move the acount to a different external drive. I blundered and, for whatever reason, was unable to log in to any account on my MBPr. Not even my backup account - which suprised me. (I tried repairing disks, permissions, etc...) I tried to resolve it on the phone with Apple to no avail. Finally, I gave up. I booted into recovery and did a reinstall. After 12 hours I came back to find that it wasn't a clean reinstall. And I still couldn't log in to anything. 
    I then did an erase and reinstall. After another 12 hours I now have a clean install of Mountain Lion on my MBPr. I have an external drive with my former working user directory (Home:Users/mrmoose) on it. (BTW, It is LARGER than my internal SSD drive, it is not bootable, AND I have no backup of it in Time Machine format.)
    My current user account is Macintosh HD:Users/bullwinkle
    1) Is there a way to "reclaim" my user account on the external drive - possibly without even copying or migrating?
    2) Can I copy the contents of bullwinkle (excluding some of my folders under Documents so it fits) to Macintosh HD Users/bullwinkle? Including the Library folder? I have audio plugins, etc...
    I'd still like my User directory on an external drive. But I will settle for keeping it on the internal drive. I just want my info back.
    Why, oh, why does Migration Assistant require your data to be in TIME MACHINE format only - why can one not migrate from a full copy on an external drive? Why can't it look at the darn thing and say, "Hey, that's a copy of an OSX User directory. I can migrate data from that."?
    I would greatly appreciate a detailed response. THANK YOU. Lama Out.

    ~/Library is probably the one you don't want to move back because it may bring the issues back along with it.
    All your own data you can drag & drop. You can drag the contents of any folder Movies, Music, Pictures, Documents (or as much as you want).
    Rather than try to replace the Library you can take ~/Library/Application Support, Mail, Safari and any other folders you need.
    To access your hidden ~/Library folder go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
    Then you can drag it to the Sidebar for easy access.

  • How to copy data from one node to another or fromone table to another table

    Hi,
    I have a two tables.I am populating data in first table and on the click of first table ,selected row data should be copied to the second table.
    How do i achieve this requirement and what should be the cardinality of the second table
    Thanks
    Bala Duvvuri

    Hi,
    For this u have to fetch the selected row.
    For fetching the selected row go to the events of first table and select "OnLeadselect".
    Create a new method for this.
    Now in this method read the value of the selected row with method get_static_attributes.
    with this u will have the selected row in the element.
    not just bind this elemnt with the second table.
    Second node will also have the cardinality 0:n, because this is also binded with the table.
    Coding part for this is as below:
    method ONACTIONSELECT .
        DATA lo_nd_cn_mara TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
        DATA lo_el_cn_mara TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.

        DATA ls_cn_mara1 TYPE wd_this->elements_cn_mara.
      navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_MARA> via lead selection

      @TODO handle not set lead selection
        IF lo_nd_cn_mara IS INITIAL.

            static_attributes = ls_cn_mara ).       " here u are getting the selected row of the table.
    APPEND ls_cn_mara to ls_cn_mara1.      " append the row in the table so that can be binded with the second node
      DATA lo_nd_cn_maraout TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.

    navigate from <CONTEXT> to <CN_MARAOUT> via lead selection
      lo_nd_cn_maraout = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_cn_maraout ).
    Bind the table with the second node
    lo_nd_cn_maraout->bind_table( ls_cn_mara1 ).
