How to move printer setups from Panther to Tiger on another machine?

I've got one G5 running Panther on which a whole bunch of network printers are set up. Setting them up from scratch is a hassle... I'm now installing Tiger on another machine and would like to import all the printer settings. Can this be done? Are there preferences or settings file somewhere I can copy over?
Mike

Probably not. If the other machine is exactly the same as the old one, you should be able to clone the Panther one to it and then upgrade. Otherwise, hook up the Panther one to the other machine in target disk mode, install Tiger, and when you restart, use the migration assistant to transfer everything from the Panther machine.

How to move SCCM service from one logical drive to another logical drive on site database server?

Hi All,
We are ussing SCCM 2012 RTM in our environment. We have one central site on
Server1 and one primary site on server2. SCCM database of both sites are on remote servers
we have one cluster (Name: Cluster1) in that we have four running SQL servers (ServerdDB1, ServerDB2,
ServerDB3, and ServerDB4 ). There is one sql instance named
Application on all four sql servers. Central site database
CM_CAS hosted Application instance on ServerDB3.
ServerDB2 is the failover of ServerDB3
Now I have few queries on which I need your assistance.
1. The SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_SERVER1 service is running on all sql servers in the cluster. The SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_SERVER1 service on ServerDB4 is running on L drive. I want to move this service from L drive to system drive C permanently.
How can I do this?
2. I tried to move SMS_site_sql_Backup_server1 service from L drive to C drive by following changes
Change the service path in registry on ServerDB4
Reset the SCCM central site without any modification.
The above service moved to C drive time beaing but I do'nt know why this service came again in L drive. and running from L drive on same server. Do I need to unistall SCCM and reinstall again?
3. Why did SCCM site database install on all sql servers ? As I ServerDB2 is the failover of ServerDB3 so it should be only ServerDB2 and ServerDB3.
4. Why SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_SERVER1 service is running on all SQL server in cluster?
Your assistance on above qureies will be very appreciated..
Thanks
Rinku

Hi,
The server will be installed on the each of the clustered nodes. I think you may use the following to do the change.
1. Stop the SMS_Site_SQLBackup_%SERVERNAME% on the node
2. Remove the following Registry Keys on the node:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SMS_SITE_SQLBACKUP_%SERVERNAME%
3. On the site server, browse to the fllowing registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SITE_Component_Manager\Multisite Component Servers\%SERVERNAME%
4. Change the install directory to the appropriate drive
5. Restart the SiteComp service on the Site server
Note: Please do a backup before doing this change, which is very important for unexpected failure.

How to Move Music Library from one external HD to another

I had about 60GB of music on an external hard drive, nicely organized and "linked to" from iTunes (just upgraded to version 5). I recently purchased a larger external hard drive and basically copied the contents of my older external drive to the new one, preserving all folder structures from the root of the drives down (but the name of the drive itself is different.) I was hoping I could just do a search/replace of the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file in my Music/iTunes folder, to replace the name of the old drive (volume) with the new one. I did, and iTunes launches fine, preserving my playlists, song ratings, etc... but whenever I try to play any of the songs, it says it can't find it (I can manually point iTunes to it, but I don't want to do that for 15,000 songs...) Strange thing, though, is that if I quit out of iTunes and re-open the Library XML file, all the paths have been reset to their original location!! What am I missing? Thanks in advance,
Jesse

I just want to add that the iTunes folder (with the library xml file and such) is on my local hard drive, in the typical Music/iTunes location. I don't want to simply re-import the songs 'cuz I'd lose playlist contents and ratings, and I don't want to "consolidate" the library because I want to keep my music folders and filenames as I currently have them. Basically, I just want iTunes to realize the songs have simply changed location from one external drive to another... thanks again.

How to move a file from one internal drive to another

I have a Mac Pro with 10.6. My main drive is a 240 GB SSD. I would like to move files from it to another internal drive to free up space on the SSD. The only way I can figure out to do it is to copy a file to the other internal drive and then move it from the SSD to the trash and empty the trash. Is there a better way? TIA.

That's the way I would do it.

How do I transfer email from Panther to TIger?

It seems this is a tricky one:
I have a new iMac running TIger, and I want to transfer my emails from my Powerbook running Panther (10.3.9)
I have tried to manually copy all the appropriate folders:
the Mail folder in the User/Me folder, in the User/Me/Library/ folder, and the User/Me/Library/Caches/...
This did import the folders, but they were empty- no emails, except for the new emails that were in the Inbox.
I can see the .mbox files, but Mail 2.0.5 doesnt seem to see them... Is there an Import option?

Replace ~(yourhome)/library/mail with the same folder from your PB.
Replace ~(yourhome)/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist with the same file from your PB. This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
When you launch Mail for the first time, decline any prompt to import.

How to move statistical postings from one cost center to another

Hi All,
We have some statistical postings done to an incorrect cost center. Now we want to move them to the correct cost center.
I know there is some way of doing it by making debit and credit entries to the G/L account in FI where the postings intiated, but I am not sure about the whole process.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

hi
I am not very sure if there is any entry for reversing statistical posting in Controlling.
You can do the same through FI entry itself.

How ro move the EP6SP11 from one server(hardware) to another(hardware)r?

is there any transport tool?
or only re-install the EP again on the second server ?

Hi,
There are many tools that claim or might probably work for many custom developed application or COTS.
To my experience extends, there is no way you can actually migrate "as is where is" to another server.
There are several things that you may want to consider which the tool will not and can not consider which I hope you will understand.
You can develop one specific suiting your needs, however the same cannot be generalized.
You certainly need to re-install in another server.
Hope this clarifies.
Regards,
Sen
P.S: If this helps you, please reward the points.

Moving AddressBook folder from Panther to Tiger?

I did an erase install of Tiger to my powerbook g4, but kept a backup of the Panther files on CD. (I had to select erase and reformat, as my daughter dropped the laptop, corrupting some of the files on the hardrive.)
I would like to copy the old Address Book in Panther (i.e. Home > Library > Application Support > AddressBook) to Tiger, but it appears that the files are not compatible between the two OS X releases? When I tried this, the application hung. Unfortunately I did not move my addresses to a vCard or do a backup, so all I have is the old data files. Any advice on how to move this data from Panther to Tiger? The only thing I can think of at this point is to find someone with Panther, and hopefully they will let me use their machine to get a proper backup of my address book from the Panther version of Mail.
By the way, although most files were not corrupted when the laptop was dropped, some were, so maybe I am dealing with a currupted AddressBook folder.
Note: I am dual posting under both 10.3 and 10.4 forums...
Thanks in advance, John

Place the /Applications Support/AddressBook/ folder in the new /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder replacing the default one created by Tiger. Now launch the Tiger Address Book application. It should prompt you about importing the old data.

How to move itunes library from winXP to NAS drive

Can someone point me to a location that has intructions on how to offload
my Itunes library from my XP PC to my IOMEGA media center NAS drive? I've
searched quite a bit and haven't been able to find a comlete set of intructions
yet. Just trying to free up disk space on my desktop. It gets a bit confusing sometimes when they mention music files and library files. To me, they are one in the same, but I think they are not. Would be nice if there was a flow chart of
how Itunes works and what each file component does. You know, like the difference between an .itl file and a .xml file?

First of all I still don't know how to post a question. There is nothing in here that asks me to do so. Therefore I can only reply to one already asked. My problem is that I followed the instructions in iTunes which tell me how to move the files from the C Drive to another location (which happens to be my D Drive). After doing that it then tells me to drag the old files into the recycle bin, however, it won't comply and tells me that the procedure can't be performed because of copywrite protections. Where do I go from here? Or at the very least, how do I post a question in this forum the normal way?

How to move iTunes library from C-drive to D-drive

I'm a Mac guy, but my wife has a PC running XP Home & iTunes 7.1.1.5. At this point, everything works fine. I thought I'd better ask this question BEFORE I did something stupid.
I've noticed that the C-drive has most (not all) of the apps on it and is only partitioned to give 14GB, whereas the D-drive has ten times that much. The system shows me that most of the C-drive space is used (only 15% free space remaining), so I thought it'd be a good idea to move iTunes to the D-drive before she goes crazy ripping her whole CD collection. Seems silly to not use the space!
I've seen enough horror stories about people's mishaps with their iTunes Library to not take this idea lightly.
How do I keep everything on the same computer, but move the app & the Lbrary to the D-drive?? BTW, I have not yet used the "Consolidate Library" feature... is that good or bad?
Thanks in advance!

How to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another (both OSX)?

Hello, I have not found a detailed description on how to transfer printer settings from one Mac to another.
My issue is that I have a Mac G5 with 3 different settings saved as "presets" for the same printer. This works great, since the posters I print (on the large format printer) need different margins and different paper at times.
This G5 is basically retired and only used for printing. G5 has OSX 10.3.9
I have a MacPro as its replacement (OSX 10.4.11).
The MacPro has all my apps and other settings setup to my liking.
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
If someone would list the steps needed to accomplish the transfer of printer settings or advise if this is possible, then I would be very grateful! The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
Thanks!

Hi SCChelpdesk, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I found several links via Google saying copy this folder or directory, but I am not sure I did it correctly. I don't see the "presets".
This is the File that holds that info on Tiger, not certain on Panther...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.print.custompresets.plist
After moving, you very well might have to change the Owner's Permissions within Get Info window, then log out/in.
I tried launching the Migration Assistant (I hope that's the correct name), but was concerned the settings on the new MacPro would be overwritten with ALL the old stuff on the older G5. I did not start the transfer process because of this.
MA would transfer the info, but/and, if the user that had that info had the same Shortname as on the new one, it'll demand you give it a new Shortname to use... but then those settings would be transferred to that new user on the new machine. I think the 1st one will work though.
The previous user of the G5 I am using was a "Genius" and I don't know how he created these "preset" choices.
We can go through that way if you like... not all that hard.

How can i print collage from instagram?

How can I print collages from instagram pics?

Take a look at the application Printopia. It's an application for your Mac, if in fact you have a Mac. Works great here. Cost is about $10 (US.)
I'm not sure how it will work with a network printer. Probably depends on your setup.
