How to copy tags preferences to another mac

Hi I have spent some time setting up my preferences for "Tags" in Mavericks on a MacBook.
Does anyone know a way I can copy this setup to another Mac without having to key in all the Tag names and assign Colours again?
Thanks in advance

Tags are metadata. So, if you copy a tagged file to another computer through a media "metadata aware", those informations are transferred transparently. Media is an abstraction for disk, network or whatever is used as a mean of transport.
You can visualize tags associated to a file via the command line with the xattr command
xattr -p com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags MyTaggedFile | xxd -r -p | plutil -convert xml1 - -o -
Change MyTaggedFile with a filename you tagged to display the result.
Or copy the tags assigned to file1 to a second file, file2
xattr -wx com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags "$(xattr -px com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags file1)" file2;xattr -wx com.apple.FinderInfo "$(xattr -px com.apple.FinderInfo file1)" file2

HT4007 Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

Already have Aperture 3 license, how do I install it on another Mac without rebuying it from App store?

As you can see from all the replies to your question if you are not clear in describing the situation it is very difficult to try and help you.
So first how did you originally purchase Aperture? App Store, DVD or Unlocked Trial version.
If you purchased it from the App store if you log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase Aperture then you will be able to install it on other systems besides the one you originally installed it on. Even though the button says Purchase you will not be charged again as lolongnd as this is the same Apple ID you used the first time.
If you installed from DVD or Trail unlock post back.

How to copy one request to another request

Hi all,
How to copy one request to another new request?
I have a released workbench request in which it has around 1200 Objects (including data elements, domains, programs and many more), now i need to copy all these objects into a new request.
I can do this by SE03 (Include Objects in a Transport Request ) transaction, but it is a lengthy process.
Is there any way to copy directly in one go.
Plz help...
Regards,
Satish Reddy D.

Hi,
The thing is like this....
i have a released request in which we have more than 1200 objects, in that i dont need 10 objects.
so when i create it as copy of transport request, i just deleted those 10 objects and saved.
Now, if i transport the new request how many objects will go? 1200 or 1190?
in the new request i am getting the old request under Comment: Object List Included.
is it necessary to transport the old request?
i need to transport only 1190 objects.
Regards,
Satish Reddy.

How do I transfer my copy of Mainstage to another Mac?

I bought MainStage from Apple last year and ran it for live purposes on my MacBook Pro, but I want to use it on my Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Mac Pro now.
I can't find an "installer" on the MacBook Pro… just the application file itself and when I copy it over to the Mac Pro (tower) it won't launch as it says it's 'incomplete' or 'damaged'.
Can anyone recommend a way to move the prgramme across?

Did you purchase it from the App Store? If so log into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it previously, go to the Purfhases section and look for it there. You should be able to download and install again.

How to copy exitsitng extracter into another new extracter?

Hello,
Please some one can tel me how to copy the existing extracter into another new extracter.
I have requirment as below
Currect me if i am wrong ,need to enhance the existing extracter and add some new fields,and need to include some masterdata filds also to it.
For master data i am going to do write routines at Transfermation so that no need to include in my exter for those filds to extracter.
Please some one guide me in this scenario.
Chrs

Hi,
you do not have to copy the extractor, you can enhance it with fields and fill them via enhancement coding --> rsa6.
If you want to copy it, you need to check what kind of extractor you have. Is it a function module or just a table extractor.
for fm: copy the function module via se37 and copy the extract structure via se11. Add your enhancements in the copied structures and coding. Create a new datasource with rso2.
for table extractor: create a view adding the additionally needed fields. create a new ds with rso2. Surely you need to add some coding in the relevant enhancement.

How to copy one schema into another

I need to copy one schema into another. That means, all the tables, views, constraints, etc, and all the data as well.
I have a dmp file of source-schema (created daily with expdp by our backup schedule).
Can I use impdp to import this dmp file into dest-schema? I'm thinking about something like this:
The dmp file was created with:
expdp source-schema/pwd DIRECTORY=dmpdir DUMPFILE=myproject.dmp
Create the copy on dest-schema with:
impdp dest-schema/pwd DIRECTORY=dmpdir DUMPFILE=myproject.dmp
(dest-schema is an existing schema on the same machine. I'll drop all the tables before executing the command. Is there anything else I should do first?)
If this approach is not feasible, kindly suggest me an alternative.
Thank you.
Edited by: mgro on Apr 16, 2010 3:22 AM (changed 2nd command: expdp to impdp)

Thank you both. Dean, I've made a note of your proposed command. May use it next time.
In the end I used the following command and it worked for me. I added TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE since the destination was not empty.
First I ran these command logged in as SYS
GRANT Import Full Database TO dest-schema;
GRANT Create Any Directory TO dest-schema;
GRANT Unlimited Tablespace TO dest-schema;
impdp
dest-schema/pwd
DIRECTORY=dmpdir
DUMPFILE=myproject.dmp
REMAP_SCHEMA=source-schema:dest-schema
TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=REPLACE
LOGFILE=implog.log
There were some errors though. The import process complained about constraints referencing non-existent primary keys.
It turns out that the source schema has some constraints that are marked with status DISABLED. These constraints either:
- are not part of the DUMP file
or
- are in the DUMP file but skipped during import
Don't know if this is a bug or by design behavior.

How to copy report properties into another report?

I have created one updated list report and I wanted to create another updated list report with same report properties of first one but with different data objects so I don't have to redo properties settings.
I copied first report to another name and I tried to change data objects but It didn't allow me to choose different data object. It says "Data object must contain at least the same fields as in the Original Data object".
Do I have to create another report from scratch?

You could edit the report xml.

How to sync my iPhone to another mac?

My daughter's iPhone was synced to my Mac. Now she has bought her own MBP, she wants to sync her iPhone to her own MBP. However, it said her phone has been authorized/synced to another Mac. What needs to be done ?

You don't need to unsync it from his computer nor do you have to restore. Connect it to the computer, open iTunes, select your phone under Devices in the sidebar. In the main window are your data categories in the tabs. Select each tab and set what you wish to sync to the phone. Then click on the Sync button.
Please get iPhone User Guide - iOS 6.pdf.

How copy safari bookmarks to another mac

I would like to transfer Safari bookmarks from one Mac to another Safari operating on a different Mac

Hi refalci,
The easiest way to copy your Safari bookmarks to a different Mac is to export them from Mac #1, and import the resulting .html file into Safari on Mac #2.
You can copy the .html file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself and open it on the second Mac.
You indicated that you are using Mavericks OS X on your computer, so here are the instructions for Safari 6 or 7.
Safari 6/7 (Mavericks): Import and export bookmarks
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17154
Open the Safari application, then:
Export bookmarks:
Choose File > Export Bookmarks. The exported file is called “Safari Bookmarks.html.”
On the second computer, open Safari and import the file that you emailed or saved to a thumb drive:
Import bookmarks:
Choose File > Import Bookmarks. Most bookmark files have an extension of .html or .plist.After you import bookmarks, they appear at the bottom of the sidebar in a new folder whose name begins with “Imported” and ends with the date.
Hope that helps ...

How to move ONE account to another Mac

Greetings!
My wife and I have separate email accounts, running Mail, on my PowerBook. I need to go away for some weeks. What is the best way of moving her account/mailboxes/mail history to the kids' Mac while I am away? And then, of course, move it all back again?

Not so easy, if you have separate email accounts, btu lumped them into one instance of mail.
Do you use IMAP - e.g.: .mac or another IMAP account? If so, just set up the account on another computer and it will automatically synchronize. That's why I recomend people pay for 3rd party IMAP, rather than POP email accounts.
If not, then you could simply set up the account on the other machine and use it. Your history and address book would nto be present, but it would work ok. You could then copy all the emails sent and received while you are gone back to the original.
Moving (copy-ing) the entire Library/Mail folder, unfortunately, would move all of YOUR email too, and over-write the settings on the other machine. So I would not do that unless its essentially an unused machine.
Maybe someone else has a better idea.
If this happens a lot, consider buying an IMAP account. Several good companies sell them for $20/yr.

How to move some mail from another Mac?

My main Mac was in the shop for a week - the Apple people just fixed it (hooray!)
while it was gone, I was receiving my mail on an older computer.
if I take that week's worth of mail, and put it into a folder, is there anyway to copy that folder (and the mail therein) and put it into the other Mac, which is back from the shop?
thanks!
w

You didn't mention before that your old computer was running Tiger.
Tiger Mail, indeed, doesn't have archive function so
the transfer process is slightly trickier.
1. Archive all your mailboxes on the new computer the way i described above.
2.Make sure Mail is not running on the new computer.
Copy the directory homedirectory/Library/Mail and the file homedirectory/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist from the old computer to the corresponding location on the new one.
3. Start Mail. It should have the account setup and the mailbox content of your old computer. Import your achived mailboxes.
