How To Move or Copy Files From Multiple Sources To MBP

I will shortly be taking delivery of a new MBP. Currently I have my files spread across an eMac Panther partition, a OS 9 partition, and several partitions on 2 different external hard drives (iPhoto library is on one and iTunes Library on another.
Now with a large HD on the MBP + Time Capsule I wish to organise files in a more orderly fashion onto the MBP. The only reason for the previous chaos has been dealing with too small disk space and I prefer a more orderly arrangement
Can someone more experienced than me please advise on the most efficient way to go about this as I have never transfered to a new computer before.

The usual procedure is to use Migration Assistant which will probably start automatically on the new Mac. This allows you to copy from another Mac or from other drives. This will copy almost everything if you choose but you can restrict what is copied too. It will copy your internet settings, passwords, Mail and so on. However much of the organisation will be as it already is so there are alternatives except that everything will be on the one drive.
If you start your old Mac in Target mode by holding the T key during startup you can connect it using a firewire cable and it will appear as an external drive on the new Mac. You can copy all the files that interest you and place them as you want. However you should note that new Macs expect to find certain information in certain locations. Migration Assistant attends to this automatically.
Your new Mac will probably be able to read the 2 external drives so you can either use Mig *** or simply drag & drop to copy everything across.
Depending on what volume of material you have to copy this can take several hours to complete. Firewire connections are the quickest I believe. Other types of network connection are slower.
I notice you mention OS9 partition. Intel Macs can't run OS9 (Classic) so any OS9 applications will be useless. Even some OSX applications may need to be updated to run on Leopard.
Hope this is a start for you.

How to create a pdf file from multiple images ?

Dear All,
I want to create a SINGLE page pdf file from two or more page size images that are combined to make a single page pdf. Again, this question is on pdfs that are made out of several, atleast two color images and a black-and-white mask for one of them.
I have such pdf files from an unknown source (the producer is edited out) whereby there are three tiff images, obtained using the well known pdfimages extractor.
When I want to make a pdf out of tiff or png or other image formats, I right click and tell Adobe Acrobat to make a pdf.
However, I dont know how I can give a command to select say, three tif images and specify which is the mask for which and then join them in a way that I get the pdf from the composite of the two color images and a mask for one of them.
Please help me out.
I am a little familiar with the pdf structure skeleton and when necessary, fixed xref tables in one of my favorite editors. A few years ago, I also wrote a bunch of javascripts to make some annotations and needed some automation and used some itext type libraries. However, I need your help in this problem as I am now rusty and forgot some of what I studied to solve my earlier problems. This is a new problem for me. Gentle hints from you would be very nice to help me in this problem. Please specify if necessary what manual and pages to read. in the pdfspec.
Best Regards

I would gladly mention that I am working on windows platform, preferably XP.
I can also work on linux for free products that come with it.

But adding other products, for the help of an adobe products user,
even if it outside adobe, shall add greater prestige to your company
and give impression of user-centeredness.

Well, just add the few pdf stanzas since you are proficient on it and
I am presently a little rusty as I mentioned. Just asking a little
extra yard, not even to go an extra mile.

Well, ascii format or uncompressed format that is human readable. I
know its a binary file, but human readable ascii version of it.
I hope you can give me some stanza and various other approaches
possible so I can select or combine things for myself. I see only a
miniscule number of posts claiming to have written masks in this forum
and then with no details.

Retrive files from multiple source directories

Hi,
I need to retrive diffirent formet files from multiple directories and based on file name I need to send it to destination folders. Can anybody suggest me How can I impliment this interface.
Thanks & Regards
VenkatK

Venkat,
I hope since you are taking different format files, you are not doing any mapping. You are moving from one location to another location, because if you different formats then you can do in one mapping your requirement.
If it is correct then as shabharish mentioned you can pick the files using multiple file sender adapters. With this you can pick the files, but to send to different directories enable ASMA in sender file commkunication channel. Then in receiver communication check the extension for each format and then give the directory name so that it routes to the destination you mentioned.

Does JXTA allow you to download files from multiple source like a P2P?

I was interested in working on some networked apps using JXTA and I was wondering if JXTA allows you to download a file from multiple users (ala Bittorrent or P2P) or whether it's by a user to user basis?

To keep the sort of malware rather prevalent for Android devices off of your iPhone. Depending on what you need to download, though, you can probably find a third-party app that will do it. Since such apps keep their documents in their own sandbox, it helps protect the iPhone from being infected by malicious "documents".

Need to copy files from multiple machine to multiple locations on server in daily basis

My scenario is below:
1. I have 20 machines and data for backup would be on only in one folder of each machine.
2. Need to create 20 folders in server and copy the corresponding machine's data to the respective folder daily.
3. Data copy should be appending (Should not be duplication).
4. Also need notification if any failure.
Let me know whether schedule task / script which would be better to server this

Create a robocopy script to copy data from 20 different folders,
In Robocopy command you have switches to append the data,
You can enable logging for this script, If its failes / error - it will update in log file.
Create a schedule task and run this script according to your timings,
You an refer Robocopy article for more information :

How ot move an flat file from one location to another

Hi all,
My requirement is that i am having a flat file in my C drive(ex:- C:\123.txt) i have to move that file into One of the folders of the My Netqork places using ABAP Programing
How can i do this...Can we do this using OPEN DATASET Plese give me sample code if having
Regards
Ajay

Hi Ajay,
There is no need for using Open Dataset.
First you upload your text file using GUI_UPLOAD from the present location.
Then you download the file using GUI_DOWNLOAD into the required location(Netwrk Places).
Check this link for GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
http://abaplovers.blogspot.com/2008/03/function-modules-guiupload-guidownload.html
If you are moving it onto Application Server, then go for
Open Dataset
Check this link for Open Dataset:

How to move your library files from one internal hard drive to another

I have two internal hard drives on my computer, one 500GB SSD for games and other programs that require fast access, and one 2TB for more bulky items, like videos, music and back ups.
The problem is that my SSD is pretty much full because my iTunes library location defaults to the "my music" folder which is located on the SSD, I would like to move the location of the iTunes library files to my 2TB hard drive in order to free up some space on my SSD (about 100GB).
I have tried to set the destination of the library via the preferences in the extras tab but that just seems to copy the files rather than move them, so it still needs them on my solid state in order to play them.
Please if there is a solution to this problem could you tell me
Cheers

Close iTunes.
Move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the current drive to it's new location.
While holding SHIFT launch iTunes.
Continue holding until iTunes prompts to create a new library or locate an existing library.
Select the option to locate and point iTunes to the new location of the iTunes folder.

Can someone tell me how to move an iweb file from one mac to another?

I was told by a mac genius a year ago but I can't remember how it was done.

On one computer, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ as the path, and move the Domain item inside to the corresponding location on the other computer.

Does anyone know how to move a .mp4 file from flixter into iTunes?

Thanks!

Never mind - got it figured out!!

How to Load Master Data Text from Multiple Source Systems

Situation: Loading vendor master (text) from two systems. Some of the vendor keys/number are the same and so is the description. I understand that if I was loading Attributes, I could create another attribute such a source system id and compound it to 0Vendor. However, I don't believe you can do the same when loading text.
Question: So, how can I load duplicate vendor keys and description into BW using the *_TEXT datasource so they do not overwrite?
Thanks!

Hi,
Don't doubt, it'll work!
Sys ID as compound to 0Vendor.
If you doubt about predefined structure of the *_TEXT datasource and direct infosource, then use a flexible infosource. Maybe you'll have to derive the sys ID in a routine or a formula.
Best regards,
Eugene

How do I move MPEG audio files from my iPod to my library on my computer???

Can someone tell me how to move MPEG audio files from my iPod to my library on my computer? Somehow all my songs on my iPod are MPEGs and they won't transfer to the library. I really don't want to loose the music, and there doesn't appear to be an option to convert the MPEG to a ACC file while the MPEG is on the iPod. Please help....

iTunes/iPod does not provide a way of copying tracks from an iPod to iTunes except for purchased music. But iTunes can play MP3 files without conversion.
Here are some ways of getting files from an iPod to your PC:
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

Copying Files From a Remote Machine through "rcp" command not working.

Hi All,
I'm a new comer to this famous forum. I was trying to go through the PDF "Solaris Advanced User's Guide" .So in chapter 9-"Using the network" i came across "Copying Files From a Remote Machine". And the syntax was "rcp machinename:source destination" . And i got another note. It is like
"The rcp command enables you to copy files from one machine to another. This command uses the remote machine's /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/passwd files to determine whether you have unchallenged access privileges. The syntax for rcp is similar to the command syntax for cp.".
But i maintained remote machine's IP address in my system's /etc/hosts file. But still i am unable to do the rcp from remote system to my system or vice versa.
Always i am getting error message " **Connection refused**".
Therefore please some one guide me how to perform the " Copying Files From a Remote Machine" through rcp command.
Reghards
Kartik

Hi
The inconvenience of using scp is that you have to type the password every time you stablish a connection. You can work around this, adding a key into the remote hosts_allow file. This implies in more maintenance.
From the rcp man page:
+rcp does not prompt for passwords. It either uses Kerberos authentication which is enabled through command-line options or your current local user name must exist on hostname and allow remote command execution by rsh(1).+
From the rsh man page:
+ If you omit command, instead of executing a single command, rsh logs you in on the remote host using rlogin(1).+
By default, rlogin is disabled on Solaris 10
[SunOS 5.10/bash] root@wgtsinf01:/store/sun/operating-systems
# svcs -a|grep -i rlog
disabled May_11 svc:/network/login:rloginSo, to use rcp you have to enable the rlogin service and set up all the configuration files. Particularly, as already suggested, I too suggest you to use scp. :)
Cheers

Picking files from multiple folders based on name send to destination folde

Hi,
I want to pick multiple files from multiple folders with one root folder. Based on file name I want to send it to diffirent folders. No need to go for message mapping. Can anyone suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad Kotla.

Hi Prasad,
to pick the files from multiple source directory, can use "Advance Selection for Source File" in Sender CC.
If you wand to develop a Scenario without Message mapping, develop a scenario as "Sender as Virtual receiver"
This option is available in Sender agreement, just give the dummy name for Msg Interface and Namespace, Name defined should be same in Rec Agreement.
Develop only: Sende CC, Receiver CC, SA, RA
No need to develop ID and RD as no mapping is involved.
If u want to send the files to different folders of receiver side, just develop the adapter module which changes the directory based on the sender filename.
If the sender and receiver directory is same than check the "adapter specific Msg Attribute" and "directory" checkbox in both the sender and receiver CC. in this case no need to develop Custom module for changing the directory. files will be automatically placed in the path they were picked from sendor directory
appreciate if useful
