How to migrate What is the best way to connectold iMac to new iMac

What is the best way to connect a 2006 iMac to a 2013 iMac? ( Lion to Mountain Lion )
I have a TM on the older Mac. I understand using set-up is best. I cannot afford to lose
Any data.
Thanks.

By Firewire. However, you will need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor from Apple to use on your new iMac.

Hi, what's the best way to replace IMAC 27'' glass when broken (latest Imac generation from end 2012) ? Thanks,

Hi, what's the best way to replace IMAC 27'' glass when broken (latest Imac generation from end 2012) ? Thanks,

Not sure about the 2012 models but the 2010 ones can be removed in seconds, using a suction cup on the top corner. I use my tomtom to lift it away. It is attached by magnets.
Hope this helps.

What is the best way to set up my new Mac Pro?

Not wanting to screw up in a process I've not done with a brand new machine before, I'm looking for feedback on my plan for setting my new Mac Pro next week...
The physical plan is this:
For RAM, I have four 2GB SDRAM's plus the supplied six 1GB modules. My plan here is to install the 2GB rams into the first four slots and install four of the 1GB modules into the remaining four slots for a total of 12GB's.
When the cost for 4GB modules gets down to reasonable, I'll buy four of them and bump the current rams down the line which will then give me a total of 24 gigs where I'll stay.
For my hard drives, I'm installing a 160GB Intel X25-M into the first drive bay
http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/mainstream/index.htm
using one of MaxUpgrades' 'MaxConnects' kits. I will use this drive for the operating system software and my applications and their libraries.
Next, into the remaining three drive bays, I am installing three 300GB WD Velociraptors. Mine are the pre-'backplane ready' versions:
http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?DriveID=459
so I have bought these sleds for them...
http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product_i d=180
I own one of Sonnet's Tempo SATA E4P cards
http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temposatae4p.html
which, thanks to this forum, I now understand, with the correct firmware installed, function well so I will install it and be able to establish hardware RAID. I will create a RAID 0 set with the three Velociraptors and use it to store all of my data files.
Backup will happen on a 1TB WD 'Caviar Black' external drive connected through one of the Sonnet card's external eSATA ports and using the OS 'Time Machine' software.
And that's the physical plan. My question is about setting things up. The physical installation part is straight forward and I don't expect any difficulties but I'm wondering what is the best way to install the operating system.
Do I take a first step keeping the supplied hard drive installed, install the solid state drive into the next drive bay and then transfer the contents from the supplied drive onto the SSD or do I do the complete physical installation process and do a 'C' drive start up and install the OS that way?
And, do you have any tips/suggestions on setting up the RAID 0 set?
thanks for the help. I want to do this right.

oh mighty Hatter, I knew you'd have helpful guidance to offer! And thank you. You've confirmed my anxieties about the Sonnet card; kind of a 'too much, too quickly' sort of thing. And it's not that Sonnet's not a good company. Just everything to do with new technologies and the growth curve we all, manufacturers and users, go through when they come out. And, for sure, the new Mac Pro's are new technology; the single biggest forward leap in Apple's top-of-the-line machines for some time far as I can tell. Just reading at Intel's website about the Nehalem's is a joy!
So, I will proceed now with everything except for the controller card, leaving that 'til later. In the meantime, I think I'll just happily run with the four hard drives all running independently. No software RAID. I know just those, the SSD boot drive plus Velociraptor trio's going inside of a 2.66ghz 8-core Nehalem Mac Pro is going to be a working pleasure. Heck, this way, I'll get settled in and used to the machine's speed, have a great time doing so and then, in however many months, I can jump into spending another chunk of money on an excellent RAID card, RAID card's dear Barefeats will have tested and reviewed for us, set up my RAID 0 set and head of to those new races watching my computer leap for joy! Could be that, by then, the cost of Intel 160GB X25-M's will have dropped enough that I can afford to go for a second and have a two SSD RAID 0 boot drive... Yummy!
Thanks for the help. Like I say, I knew there was useful guidance hanging on some limb within your personal kit, (otherwise referred to as your mind)!
Interesting to read about the problems people have had with Sonnet's 2.17 update in PPC's... In this computer, my PowerMac G5 dual 2.7ghz, I have a Sonnet 'Tempo Sata X4P' controller card. I downloaded and installed 2.17 and got the same troubles; no cut, no paste, no 'drag and drop' etc. It was miserable.
Mine, fortunately, magically corrected after running the 'permissions verify and correct' process in Disc Utility and, after a restart, all was back to almost normal but for one exception; the Sonnet card was no longer present or functioning including the four eSATA ports out the back. (I ran Tech Tools Pro 5's repair suites first but, and who knows why, it didn't correct the problem...) This one was absolutely in the 'who knows what the f_'s going on and why it disappeared but did' class.
Oh, the other remnant is that, when the computer goes into sleep, after about five minutes, the fans rev up, and up, and the computer's frozen; only access is to do a forced shutdown pressing and holding the power button, so I've had to adopt a 'shut down whenever leaving it for more than fifteen minutes' approach to this dear friend. Once I've fully moved into and established my new one (which should arrive today, by the way... Yippeee!!! Can't wait!), I'll do a complete restoration on this one including taking out the Sonnet card. Usually, I sell my old Pro's but, this time, I'm going to keep this one as a back up and just general second computer for times I might need it. It has been such a great and dependable machine. Keeping it seems the right thing to do.
thanks Hatter. I'll let you know how things go, including what happens with the SSD. I don't have speed test software so I won't be able to track it's performance like that guy in the post you gave me did...

I downloaded a job application with Adobe. What is your suggestion on editing it? What is the best way on my iMac?

I downloaded a job application with Adobe. What is your suggestion on editing this? What is the best way or best program? Thanks!

Simply, export the data from this esy share system to standard formats like jpeg, making sure to preserve all metadata on the way. How to do that? YOu'll need to post on a Kodak forum I'm afraid.
Then copy the files to the Mac and import them.

What is the best way to upgrade to a new kernel?

I would like to upgrade to the new kernel: kernel26-2.6.23.14-1 from the one from core (on the CD).
What is the best way to do this? Also, is there a way to find out what is new / has changed in the new kernel?
Thanks for any insights.

Surely you have tried pacman -Syu?
Kernel changelogs are on kernel.org. Perhaps it's more interesting to read articles on kerneltrap.org though.
I have had a kernel panic one time I upgraded a kernel. I had to walk back step-by-step to backtrack what I did.
I basically uninstalled the nv kernel driver for xorg and installed the proprietary drivers from their website (which I shouldn't have uninstalled nv drivers, but nonetheless I learned from it). But, somehow I think one of the packages I installed automatically upgraded to the lastest kernel. When I reverted to the properietary drivers it somehow uninstalled the latest kernel. The key thing I learned was "install the right drivers the first time!" But, yes, I know about "Pacman -Syu" in general, but didn't know that was the appropriate way to do it. It's just my two cents.

What is the best way to set up my new mac?

My old mac has parallels installed and boot camp. How can I transfer that set up to my new Mac?

WinClone 3 can clone the BootCamp partition to a external drive where you set it back up again can clone Windows/BootCamp back onto the new machine, however Windows will know it will be on new hardware and you will have to validate with Redmond or it won't eventually work.
Carbon Copy Cloner can clone the OS X boot partition to a extenral drive, then you can use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to migrate the user account to the new machine from the clone, which would include the virtual machine files of other operating systems.
Since the hardware drivers and OS X operating system is different between models of Mac's, you can't use the clone of OS X on the newer machine.
So since Parallels has a at boot kernel extension file that needs to be installed, you have to install Parallels on the new machine before you can use it.
Migration Assistant might not transfer it, or that version of Parallels might not work properly on a different OS X version or hardware.
Most commonly used backup methods
Also Windows might know it's on new hardware in the virtual machine as well, so it's going to cry about requiring validation being performed.

What's the best way to move files to new HD in the same PC?

I just got a new bigger Hard drive and want to move all my iTunes files to it without having to make iTune search for them again. How should I do it?
Will I have problems with the files I bough from iTunes store?
Thanks

1 Quit iTunes.
2 Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the other drive.
3 Restart iTunes holding (Shift-Windows, Option-Mac).
4 Select Choose library. Select the library in the folder you just moved.
5 Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
6 Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.

What is the best way to migrate from Forms to ADF?

We are in a big quagmire. Our company has been into Oracle Forms development for over 15 years. We have applications developed in Forms 6i and 10g. We have about 5 products and these 5 products have about 25 to 30 different versions. i.e. we maintain about 30 different versions of our applications. Each version of the application has about 100 forms and 100 reports.
Now, since Forms has come to the End of life from 11g we want to move to ADF. We tried Forms to ADF migration tools but failed. So now we have decided to manually rewrite the applications in ADF.
Our Forms / PL/SQL developers, designers and analysts (total about 40) are all Oracle Forms people. They have no experience in Java.
What I want to know is:
(1.) What is the BEST way to achieve this?
(2.) Do we have to learn Java, JSF and ADF?? (i.e. All 3)?
(3.) Is it mandatory to learn JSF??
(4.) Assuming, comprehensive training can be given, how long will it take for Forms people to learn ADF?
(5.) What type of training will be required?? (Java, JSF, ADF, JDeveloper etc.)
(6.) How LONG will this take? i.e. to train all 40 and then get rewrite an application of 100+ forms and 100+ reports? (Ballpark is OK).
(7.) Any other technologies we should learn??
Edited by: user12240205 on Jul 18, 2012 5:48 AM

Obvoiusly the longer you have for training the better but I think the minimum would be
1) Java skills - I think to start off, 1 or two days reading something like Head First Java http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-Java-Kathy-Sierra/dp/0596009208
2) I'd then get "The Quick Start Guide to Fusion Development" http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Start-Oracle-Fusion-Development/dp/0071744282/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343201618&sr=1-1&keywords=jdeveloper+quick (declaration: I'm the author so have a vested interest, but I still think its a good place to start. - this should be about 2-3 days to read and also to try things out.
3) In parallel I'd be watching these ADF Insider Basics http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/adfinsider-093342.html#a1 - a couple of hours
4) I'd then try this tutorial http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/ria_application/developriaapplication_long.htm - 3 hours.
5) Optionally, if you are coming from a Forms background I would also read http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/SummitADF/SummitADF_Redevelopment.pdf and watch http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF/Forms_Redevelopment_ADF.html - which is about 2 hours of work.
I think this would be the absolute MINIMUM to at least be able to build some basic applications and to start feeling your way - everything else outlined in the "ADF COLLATERAL TOUR" http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADFTour/ADFTour.html could be learned as you start building some proof of concept. However, I'd wouldn't suggest you try building a real application with only one weeks exposure (in the same way I wouldn't expect you to design a product database with only one week training). I would probably expect your developers to have at least the above training and then spend about a month or so (minimum) building proof of concepts (or testing themselves with the ADF Insider Essentials Tasks). Furthermore, I'd probably expect you to have at least on senior developer/architect, with much more experience who can be making decisions on things like reuse, partitioning, architecture etc.
Of course, this is all subjective but I hope it helps.
regards
Grant
ps
Of course, we also have formal Oracle University Training courses which you could attend (or they can be purchased to watch on line).

What is the best way to double buffer in this case and how to do it....

currently I have
public class Frame1 extends JFrame{
//inside this class I call up circle class, rectangle class, etc.... to draw
}I am making a "paint" program, and I have individual classes to handle the paint methods heres an example:
abstract public class Shape {
    public Shape() {
    public abstract void draw(Graphics g, Color c, int x, int y, int width,int height);
}and then....
public class Circle extends Shape{
    public Circle() {
    public void draw(Graphics g, Color c, int oldx, int oldy, int newx, int newy) {
        g.setColor(c);
        g.drawOval(Math.min(oldx, newx), Math.min(oldy, newy), Math.abs(oldx - newx), Math.abs(oldy - newy));
}There is also a Rectangle class, line class.... etc! So my question to you is the following... what is the best way to implement double buffer in the individual classes? And how to do it?? And also.... the drawings should be kept inside a jPanel.
Any bit of help is much appreciated Thank you!!

You don't need to do double-buffering. Swing
components are double-buffered by default. Just make
sure you override paintComponent() and not paint().
And even if you had to, why would there be any
difference in implementation for your classes whether
they paint to on- or off-screen graphics?I need to override paintComponent()? what if I don't...
I am using JBuilder2005 and they automate somethings for me. So thats how they did it when they created the application they did this....
public class Frame1 extends JFrame{
/*** all my code here***/
public class Application1 {
    boolean packFrame = false;
     * Construct and show the application.
    public Application1() {
        Frame1 frame = new Frame1();
        // Validate frames that have preset sizes
        // Pack frames that have useful preferred size info, e.g. from their layout
        if (packFrame) {
            frame.pack();
        } else {
            frame.validate();
        // Center the window
        Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
        Dimension frameSize = frame.getSize();
        if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height) {
            frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
        if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width) {
            frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
        frame.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2,
                          (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
        frame.setVisible(true);
        try {
            jbInit();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
     * Application entry point.
     * @param args String[]
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.
                                             getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (Exception exception) {
                    exception.printStackTrace();
                new Application1();

What's the best way to dry an iPhone that was briefly in water? Rice? How long?

iPhone 5 was briefly in water. I turned it off immediately. What is the best way to dry it? It's in a bag of rice right now. If that's good, how long should it be in there before turning it back on?

If you dropped it into water and it was submersed, even for a few seconds:
IMMEDIATELY
Turn it off, remove the sim card.
Put it in a bowl or box of uncooked rice.
Leave it there a few days (3 days is optimal).
Your warranty is voided by exposure to water. There are two sensors in the iPhone which are white, and turn red or pink when touched by water.
Repair coverage? - Check your Service and Support Coverage - https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do. This will also show the make and model of the device.

Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
Please tell me if you need any help.
I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!
