How to install and migrate info to a new laptop with Win 8

I got a laptop a few days ago with Win 8.... I am totally lost. I installed FF and it shows on my desktop :)
Now I need to transfer all my data there. I created a new profile in the desktop (Win 7) in case... Then what???
I don't know where to find the info I am familiar with. I use FF 22.
Can you please help me (again!)?
I will have to do the same from an old laptop (Win XP) to the new one.
Thank you very much

Hi JenL27, the Profile Manager lets you see ALL your currently existing Firefox profiles and choose the one you want to use.
Start the profile manager again, select your original profile, and start Firefox using that one. It will be a lot easier to work with your data that way.
IMPORTANT: Do not delete any profiles without making good backups.

How to install HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium on an AMD 64

I have spent two days trying to install my excellent HP Deskjet 990cxi on my new laptop running Win7 Home Premium on an AMD 64-bit processor. I want to do two things:
to set the printer up to run direct from a USB port on my laptop. Having done this, I then want
to set the printer up on BT Home Hub Type 2A, connected through the hub's USB, as a network computer.
So far under windows, this has proved a huge problem. It seems that the printer settings file is in 32-bit, but in the attempt to install the printer through the Windows "add printer" in Devices and Printers, and after a Windows update on the program to find Deskjet 990c, I run into a brick wall with the printer failing to install. I get the following message: "Printer driver was not installed. Access is denied ". Yet I am loading the printer drivers as Administrator.
By contrast, I also run Ubuntu 11.04 linux on this computer under Windows.
Ubuntu loaded the 990cxi drivers in an instant when it was connected via USB to the laptop; and more importantly,
Ubuntu set the printer us as a network printer running off the BT Home Hub type 2A and it worked perfectly. I even tested it by sending a graphics file from my garden to the printer indoors and the quality was perfect.
So the observation is this: If Ubuntu can load both printer settings on the same laptop, why is Windows 7 such a trial? Can HP do anything about this?

How to install and migrate a single DC to a new DC with folder redirection.

Greeting's,
I have a Windows Server 2012 running AD services. There is folder redirection enabled to facilitate user's logging in from a different machine and still being able access their personal files. Folder redirection is configured exactly as per following
microsoft document : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh848267.aspx
Even administrators cannot access user files due to ACL's.
I need to migrate from this AD server to a new one, including user files. Old server will be recommissioned for other role. How can I do this seamlessly?
Thank you very much in advance,
Parth D. Maniar

This is how I migrate redirected folders
Remove the setting to move content and set it so that it leaves path when policy is removed
Start a system cmd: psexec -i -s -d cmd
From this system cmd, robocopy all files to new server with permissions
Migrate shares by exporting/importing registry keys support.microsoft.com/kb/125996
Create new policy with new server name -OR- use cname/a host record
And ALWAYS enable "Verify old and new Folder Redirection targets point to the same share before redirecting" GPO

Hello jlfromcorona,
Use the manual method of copying all the music from your iPod Classic, to your new Mac. See this article for instructions.

I use FF 20.0.1. How can I move my Favories and settings fron a laptop with Win 7 to a new laptop with Win 8. I can't find appdata on the Win 8 PC 8

I want to use Firefox on my Win 8 desktop. i want to move my favorites, settings and add-ons to a new Win8 laptop from my old Win 7 machine. I know how to do it with Win 7 machines by moving my profile. I can't find appdata on the Win 8 PC to move the profile to.
I will also want to do the same with Thunderbird.

The easiest way is to use Sync.
You can find it in Tools / Options.
You'll always have settins, bookmarks, saved passwords, history synced between you computers (and Android devices).

Migrating old information to new laptop with new drive

I tried searching for this but also wanted a specific answer.
Here's what happened: my old Macbook (first version, from 2006) failed, but I had all its information backed up on to a Time Machine drive. The drive was a firewire drive. When my 2006-era Macbook failed, I bought a new one. However, the new laptop did not have a firewire port. I used the laptop for a few months until I could afford a new, USB external drive. Now, I've got the new computer (with some new information but no firewire port), my old firewire hard drive -- with info, and a new USB hard drive, that is completely blank.
What I intended to do was find a Mac at my university's library with both a USB and firewire drive and copy all the information to my new drive from the old one. From that point, can I just use migration assistant to merge my new Macbook and the old Macbook's information? Will it make more sense to load any new documents on my Macbook onto a flash drive, wipe its hard drive, and restore from the old Time Machine backup then add the information from the flash drive?
I don't want to have two separate accounts, either.
Thanks for your help with this annoying dilemma! I miss all my old music, photos, and videos...

Thanks for the information. Instead of using a flash drive, would it work for me to partition the drive and place any new information on the second partition of my external hard drive?
Sure (if there's room). See #3 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
If there isn't enough room to make the partition, but enough total space, you can put the files in the same partition as your backups.
You must be careful, though, as that isn't generally a good idea. You must leave enough room for Time Machine to operate; it doesn't need a lot, perhaps a hundred MBs, but if you fill it past that, your backups will crash before they can start deleting old backups to make room for new ones.
Similarly, do not add anything that way while a backup is running.
And, be very careful not to move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder, as that can corrupt them.

How do I transfer my photoshop to a new laptop with no disc drive?

I need to transfer my CS6 upgrade and, I assume, my original CS5 Windows versions of Photoshop to my new laptop that has no disc drive. This feature takeaway is increasingly common in new laptops, so I thought this would be an easy search, but I got nothing. Anyone out there know a practical way that doesn't involve ripping a disc? If ripping a disc is my only option, then what is the easiest and cheapest way to do that?

I find it hard to believe that your new laptop has no disk drive. I can not believe it boots off some network device. It is quit normal to download or copy Photoshop installation files to a Laptops internal hard disk or ssd using an external DVD or network shared. Then install Photoshop from the copied or downloaded installation files. I haven't installed Photoshop from CD or DVD in many years. Normally you do not need to copy prior versions of Photoshop to do an upgrade. You will need to be able to enter your upgrade eligible version of Photoshop serial number.
I think the idea of network computers without disk drives went out vogue many years ago it was a concept that never took off.

How to install and use a client certificate for use with https sites on Android?

I need to be able to install a .p12 client side certificate to be sent to the admin section of my company's site to authenticate me as an employee. In FireFox for PC there is the ability to install this client certificate. In the mobile I cannot figure out how to get this to work.
I just bought an Asus Transformer Android Tablet running Honeycomb. I have tried the following method below:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786035
I get to the screen where I am able to present and choose a certificate but I still get the (Error code: ssl_error_handshake_failure_alert).
Now that Android is really picking up steam, there needs to be a way to install client side certificates to present to sites requesting them.
Is there another way to hack the system to allow or install a client side certificate in .p12 format?

Sorry, there's not a good way to install client certificates in Firefox 4 for Android. A bug has been filed, and any work that we do on adding this feature will be tracked here:

How do I install PageMaker 7 on a new laptop with Windows 8.1? Too many files, and nothing brings me to the registration menu.

I am at my wits end trying to install PageMaker 7.0 on my new laptop with System 8.1. When the disk is inserted, there is a long list of files. Other times it takes me to the Installation menu - which will not open when I click on it.
My PC is also system 8.1, and somehow the place I bought it from installed PageMaker and it works fine.
I hope you'll email me a response. I don't want to have to keep logging on here to search for an answer. Adobe won't help me.
Help.

Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

Is it possible to migrate BCM 2003 data to BCM 2010 w/o first installing and migrating it to BCM 2007?

Obviously. I have my BCM built on the Office 2003 Outlook 2003 BCM platform. Now with a change of operating systems and various upgrades including the installation of Office 2010 with Outlook 2010 w/BCM, I seem to have no pathway to import my 2003
BCM Backup. I am now without access to my BCM database information and seriously compromised in my business. Therefore the question: Is it possible to migrate BCM 2003 data to BCM 2010 w/o first installing and migrating it to Outlook
2007 w/BCM?
Thanks Den

The reason I want to use the Back up and Restore process is I really want to retain my original Create Date on my Business Contacts
I will try to answer your questions below:
Question: Is there a URL to download BCM 2007 … I haven’t been able to find one anymore – I saw one a couple years ago but can’t find it now.
As info, I am running this on a Test System so I know exactly how to get BCM 2003 to BCM 2010 with the Create Date intact.
Yes, I have admin status.
BCM seems to work fine after I installed it. I didn’t go through an extensive test though.
What do you suggest I do to confirm BCM is working since I don’t have any data in it?
After I submitted my question to this forum, I tested the Export / Import method of getting my data to BCM 2010.
I confirmed the Create Date is the Import date. Drat!
Then I restored the OS System to the point where I had installed Office 2010 w/ BCM.
Then I Ran the install of the newer version of BCM. It “discovered” there was a BCM version already there and asked me if I wanted to delete it.
I deleted it or the install deleted it … I can’t quite remember.
Ran the install.
OK, here’s some weirdness I noticed:
The Download of the “newest” version of BCM I just downloaded is: V-4.00.12006.00
(KB 2793723.)
When I looked at the version number – File > BCM It stated I had BCM V-4.00.12006.00
This confirms the installation worked.
I ran the Restore from the backup of BCM 2003 and it states it has to convert from 2.03606.0 to 4.0.9812.0.
I knew it would have to do a conversion.
BUT, it states it’s going to convert to version 4.0.9812.0 NOT version 4.00.12006.00!!!!
How did Version 4.00.12006.00
get there?
Which one is the newest one?
Any thoughts??
I clicked “OK” to start the migration.
After a while I got the “Database Migration Unsuccessful” message.
Below are some errors I found in the Event Viewer > Application.
The date on them is about a week before the latest attempt to go from BCM 2003 to BCM 2010.
They are not from the restore I just described because they don’t have the date I ran the latest restore.
Any thoughts??

Clean install and migration of only one or two program

How does one do a clean install and migrate only one or two applications.

I don't believe there is a "clean install" on the Snow Leopard disk if you launch the install from your standard system boot. I believe you need to:
1) Put the SL disk in the machine drive.
2) Restart your machine.
3) Hold down the 'c' key during startup, to boot from the SL disk.
4) Once the system boots up, it starts the Snow Leopard install process. However, you have a menu bar where you can run several system utilities, such as Disk Utility.
5) Run Disk Utility and erase/reformat the main system harddisk. This will give you a "clean" disk to install Snow Leopard on.
6) After Disk Utility finishes, proceed with the install process.
7) After intallation of Snow Leopard, restore any apps/data you want from backups and/or original installation packages.
Hope this helps,
