How to migrate user's data from Panther G3 to MacBook Snow Leopard?

Migration Assistant isn't helping at the moment. Over the network, it just spins saying "looking for other computers" even though I've seen and acted on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3253 -- although that doesn't relate to Panther so it isn't right for that. Anyway, so I forget doing it over the network.
I copy two users' entire directories on the Panther G3 machine to an external hard drive. I plug that into the MacBook, open Migration Assistant and choose from a disk. Now it just spins indefinitely where it's supposed to allow me to select the disk -- it can't even show the disk (the disk has mounted fine).
I'm now thinking Migration Assistant is completely useless -- better not touched?
So I haven't got a clue how to get two users from a G3 machine to the new MacBook. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Interestingly, it looks like a mounted disk image of a full system is recognized by Snow Leopard's Migration Assistant. Although the disk image is not bootable, it presents as a separate volume "with OS X installed", and apparently this is enough.
One of my external drives contains a sparsebundle disk image of my oid G5 Leopard Mac that I created with either CCC or SuperDuper just before that computer died. I just tried mounting it by double-clicking it, and then running Snow Leopard's Migration Assistant, choosing the option to migrate "From a Time Machine backup or other disk." The mounted volume was recognized as a "disk", and all its contents were accessible as items to migrate. I didn't actually run it.
CCC makes it easy, though, to protect the other stuff as you suggested and then clone to the whole partition rather than to a disk image.

Transferring Data from Lion Beta back to Snow Leopard

Hey guys so when lion developer preview 4 came out i partitioned my hard drive already running snow leopard and then installed it on the new hard drive. I have been using it since it came out so have accumulated a lot of movies, songs, programs, etc. that are not on my Snow Leopard hard drive. When the final lion comes out I want to update it from the snow leopard one and erase the DP4 hard drive. Is there any way to get all the new info. from the DP4 partition to the Snow Leopard partition? I have tried migration assistant and that says i cant because the other hard drive has a new OS (Lion). So I guess i could wait until i download the final one from the app store but will migration assistant transfer all my new stuff (movies, programs, etc.)?? Thanks in advance.

Struggling to restore from Time Machine (2007 MacBook; Snow Leopard)

The hard drive failed on my 2007 MacBook. I had it replaced and the shop also installed Snow Leopard (this was what I was using prior to the fail).
I tried a restore from Time Machine and while a huge chunk of my new hard drive disappeared, I couldn't locate the files. I have since found them in the hidden /Volumes folder.
I have also learned that to do a full restore, I should have used my Snow Leopard install disk alongside the drive with Time Machine backups.
So...
1. Should I delete the restored file in the /Volumes folder and start again using the Snow Leopard install disk?
2. I want to upgrade to Lion (this is the furthest I can go with this MacBook). Can I do step 1 using a Lion install disk even though the Time Machine backup was created in Snow Leopard? (Confession: I'm not sure where my Snow Leopard disk is and I'm trying to avoid going through cupboards and boxes to find it)
3. is it laborious and risky to try to restore everything manually from the /Volumes folder? Where do I start if I decide on this route?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would try recovering the files manually first. If the result is unsatisfactory, then I'd boot up using the Snow Leopard DVD, run Disk Utility/Repair disk, erase and reformat the drive, and then install Snow Leopard. Reboot normally, and use Setup Assistant to restore from Time Machine. Completely update to 10.6.8 and then consider if you want to upgrade to Lion. There are no Lion disks - it is a download.

How to fetch user specific data from View?

Hi
I have a requirement in which I need to display table data specific to Session_user only. Scenario is if user belongs to a specific region he should be able to see data related to that specific region only.
I am thinking of passing session_user name in view query but do not know whether it's possible or not.If possible how to do this.
What is the best way to achieve it?
Thanks
Vibzz

Hello
Vibzz,
First thing is that you need to implement security in your application, if you configured security then, Take a session scope bean in your un bounded task flow
inside that session bean , you can get the information from security context, then write a static block inside your session bean and modify the fallowing code according to your requirement
ADFContext adfc=ADFContext.getCurrent();// get the context instance
SecurityContext securityContext=adfc.getSecurityContext();// instantiate the SecurityContext
String username=securityContext.getUserName(); // returns the username from the security Context who are currently logged in
Once you written this code just assign this username to session scope variable
Map sessionScope =
(Map)ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put("UserName", username);
So that the username with the key UserName will be available throughout your session
and Apply in where clause according to the user logged in, or else you may directly use
adf.context.securityContext.userName at the bind variable what ever you used inside your view criteria.

How to migrate Users favorites documents from old userid to new SSO userid

Hi,
We are planning to implement SSO on XI 3.1, The challenging part here is, we need to migrate all the user's favorite documents from old userid (say d.chick) to new userid (daivdc). We have around 150 active users.
I appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
Chandru

Hi,
yes you can move personal documents via the IW. But you are not able to move personal documents from "user.a" to "usera" with the IW cause this would be two accounts for the system.
What is your Authentication Method ? Enterprise, LDAP, ... ?

Migrating Data from Panther 10.3.9 to Leopard

I just recently got a new Mini and am now trying to transfer files and settings from my old Mini to the new one. The old one is running 10.3.9. I have them hooked up using a Time capsule. Problem is the old computer can't install Leopard and it doesn't have Migration Assistant. I can see the old computer on the network. Is there any way to transfer files other than the old style of click and drag? If that is the case where do I find what I want to transfer? I am mainly concerned about iPhoto, iTunes, Firefox favorites, Thunderbird, and Address book. What files actually need to be transferred?
Thanks to anyone who can help

A code? I have no idea what that's about. You need to hook up the machine directly in target disk mode—you can't go via a router. Details in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3322 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3253

After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external back-up? Following Apple advice for use of Migration Assistant did not work creating similar issues leading to clean install.

After a Lion clean install, how do I retrieve my data from external hard drive?
Following Apple advice I used Migration Assistant which crashed new system twice which is why I had to clean install Lion in the first place.
Is there a sure way of doing it?
I have only a few programs that I will have to install myself and that should not be a problem.
I just want my data, music and photos back where I can use them.

Time machine backups. I went to migration assistant a few hours ago and limited my selection to "users", no need for applications, settings and other files. Stuff started moving over at a fast pace but has now seemed to stall.
I will let it run overnight as there are lots of songs and photos as well as a few movies.
If that does not work, then I will go into TM and try restore. I have restored some things in the past such a mail files and it has worked well.
The Apple fellow at the store told me to go right into TM, he may have had a point. I'll get it eventually.

Clean Install 10.8: How to Migrate User Data?

Hi,
I'd like to do a clean install of Mountain Lion 10.8 Server and migrate the user data, but I'm not sure how.
In specific for each user:
iCal calendars and events
Mail IMAP messages and folders
Address Book contacts and groups
And I think that's it
The data was originally set up in Snow Leopard 10.6 Server, but has since been upgraded to Lion 10.7 Server. I mention because I think that has bearing on the storage location.
I suppose I could do an Address Book export. I've attempted to re-import iCal before and the server ends up wanting to send calendar events to every invitee ever listed. I'd like to avoid that scenario again.
For Mail, could I keep the client-side IMAP folders as-is and then add the new 10.8 IMAP account to Mail before dragging over the whole folder structure? Or should I move it to "On My Mac" first and then do the same? Or is there a server-side way of moving the data store to the newly-installed server?
Thank you!

Thanks for your response. I'd read about that approach (a PDF on MacRumours descibing the process), but I'm wondering if I'll be re-introducing older Lion and Snow Leopard elements like folder locations and such if I do it this way.
Will ML migrate it to the standard location and treat it as though this data had been generated within ML all along?
Also, I should add, I'm doing this install because I pooched my Lion Server and had to restore from a Time Machine backup. Now everything is messed up and unreliable. Turns out Time Machine doesn't back up iCal events for users! So this is why I'm trying to do this as clean as possible.

How do i transfer all data from one mac to another?

When I started up my new iMac, there was an option to transfer all my data from my older mac (macbook air) to the new iMac. I skipped this step at first, how can I get back to this step and utilize this feature?

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu and double-click the Migration Assistant. Note that if you move a home folder, it’ll create a new user account for it.

R2 XP to Windows 7 Migrations - User State Data Restore Fails

The client I am at is trying to migrate about 800 XP clients to Windows 7 before the April deadline. They have ConfigMgr R2 and are aware of the limitations with ADK 8.1 for Windows XP. We are following the following ConfigMgr Blog:
https://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/09/12/how-to-migrate-user-data-from-win-xp-to-win-8-1-with-system-center-2012-r2-configmgr.aspx
We have created the separate TS to capture the User state on the XP box. That works find. We have created the TS to deploy Windows 7 and also restore the users state. That is where the issues are. The image deploys fine however the
User data is never restored.   When we do a 7 to 7 Migration everything works great.
Below is an example of the loadstatescan.log file from another client but it is exactly what we are seeing here as well:
2009-11-26 14:00:35, Error
[0x000000] The account XXXXXXX\admin is chosen for migration, but the target does not have account XXXXXX\admin. See documentation on /lac, /lae, /ui, /ue and /uel options.
2009-11-26 14:00:35, Info                  [0x000000] Failed.[gle=0x00000006]
2009-11-26 14:00:35, Info                  [0x000000]   Unable to create a
local account because /lac was not specified[gle=0x00000006]
On both TS we have uncheck the box that say to copy and restore local accounts. However, as you can see in the error above the loadstate is trying to restore the local Admin account. Is there a work around? I have seen other post about
this but no one has either updated them with their fix or there hasn't been a fix?
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

So I am not sure if this is the "technical fix" for my problem. Something I don't think should fix it but at least it fixes it for now. On the task that runs the capture user data the default settings is to capture all user data unless you specify other
custom settings. We have been using gather all data. However, in the restore user data step there is actually a check box to allow local accounts to be restored. Once we check that box our XP to Windows migrations run without an issue.
First, why isn't there a check in the user capture to disable local accounts if there is a check box for it in the restore user data? Anyway, that is our fix for now. It is working but still a little confused.

How to migrate user mappings for datasources?

Is it possible to migrate / export user mapping data from EP6. I know I can add the information manually into the import file format. How do I get the information out of the EP6 system?

Hi
It is not a trivial thing to export passwords from OSX Server. There is an article on afp548.com that explains how to do it although as I remember I don't think it worked 100% all of the time. Besides by the time you have gone through the whole process, most of it using the command line, you may as well have simply defined a password policy forcing all users to change their password at next log-on.
The documents are correct. If you export users and re-import them, passwords are not transferred. If your Server is an Open Directory Master and you archive the LDAP database and then restore it (or in your case transfer it to another server) then passwords are retained. To go from 10.3 Server to 10.5 Server the 10.3 Server must be updated to the latest version for that version of the Server. In addition to this Leopard Server can only be configured in Advanced Mode. This is also true for 10.4. This is if you are upgrading an existing 10.3.9 Server to 10.5 Server. You can promote your 10.3.9 Server to Open Directory Master (on 10.3 you did not need DNS running to be able to do this although it is better if it is), and upgrade to 10.5. Or you can promote to OD Master, archive the LDAP database, demote back to Standalone, backup all relevant data and clean install to Leopard, configure required services and restore the LDAP database once Leopard is an OD Master. This may work. As a safety net I would always export users and groups from the local node anyway. You will have to do this in any case if you went to OD Master as you would have to remove users and groups from the local node and import them into the LDAP node.
Hope this helps, Tony

How to get the complete data from Webdynpro using a RFC

hi guys,
A form is created in the webdynpro, when that pdf form is called the user have to provide the key field ie the employee number in the form and then when he press the 'go' button a rfc is called and it gives all the details of the employee in the form. Then the user have to input some fields in the form and he have press the submit button. My problem is here, when the user is going to press the submit button that form will be converted to a stream (binary) of data and it is sent to one of the import parameter used in the RFC.
I have created a RFC and created a import parameter of data type XSTRING, since i want to see what exactly R3 is receiving from web dynpro i am writing this contant in the sever as a text file. When i saw that text file i cant see the complete data.
And when i searched in R3 the capacity of xstring is 1024 CHAR, so i dont know how to capture the entire data from webdynpro into my R3.
I give the code what i worte please tell me am i missing anything in my code, or is there any data type which can hold more than 500kb of data which is coming from webdynpro.

You have to convert your long string to a table of shorter strings.
There may be other ways, but one possibility is to use a loop to process you string.
while (there is something left)
   put the next e.g. 1024 characters in a new row of your table
endwhile
If you need to reconstruct your string from the table, don't use simple concatenation since it will remove blanks at the end of lines. Believe me (from experience) sooner or later this will happen.
Instead you need to either set the subsections of your long string, or insert from the end of your table and keep shifting the contents (probably less efficient) right

How to recover the autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup?

How to recover the Safari 5.1.7 autocomplete data from a Time Machine backup on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
To solve other issues (Safari crashing sometimes when saving web pages), I selected:
Safari - Empty Cache
Safari - Reset Safari - Selected ALL - Reset
I could later on recover some Safari autofill data restoring
HD/Users/~/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
HD/Users/~/Library/Safari/Form Values
HD/Users/~/Library/Safari/History.plist
but other autocomplete data is missing, including the one when filling web form search fields in web pages, for instance, and also some username and password login data on some web sites.
How to restore all such data from the Time Machine Backup?
Thanks!

I also recovered:
HD//Users/~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain
What else should I recover?

I'll keep it simple and only use the date as an example. Hopefully you get the concept from the example. Basically you create a recordset and insert the recordset value instead of the POST value into your insert query. In the example below I declared a variable for $the_date and entered the variable into the INSERT query instead of the hidden POST field.
<?php require_once('../../Connections/ezzyConn.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
if (PHP_VERSION < 6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
   $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
return $theValue;
$the_date = date("d/m/y : H:i:s", time());
$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "frmpostComment")) {
   $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO comments (com_topic, com_user, title, com_content, com_date, online_id) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['com_topic'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['commentby'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['title'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['com_content'], "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($the_date, "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['online_id'], "int"));
mysql_select_db($database_ezzyConn, $ezzyConn);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $ezzyConn) or die(mysql_error());
$insertGoTo = "index.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
?>
