HT4889 Can I choose what to migrate from one mac to another mac?

Can I choose what to migrate from one mac (Powrebook G4) to another mac (New iMac)? I do not want everything to be migrated, as some programs are not compatible with Mountain Lion or an intelIntel mac!
As it is a brand New iMac I would also like to keep it clean of unnecessary files that have become imbedded in the Powerbook over its time.Therfore it would be nice if I can pick and choose what is to be transferd. If you can give me a heads up on if and how it would be appreciated!!!
Thanks

Thanks for your input!… I have now come across an Article from Apple
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3231?viewlocale=en_US
Controlling what is migrated
With Migration Assistant you control the data that is migrated from another Macintosh computer. By clicking the triangle next to a user's name, you can select which User Accounts to migrate and choose which folders to migrate. You can also choose whether to migrate Applications, Network and Computer settings, or Volumes. Migrating only what you need can reduce the time it takes to complete your migration.

How can I migrate from one user to another within the same computer?

My main user account in my desktop is becoming buggy after to many migrations from different computers and long time usage. I would like to migrate from one user to another user within the same computer to see if this improves my current problems.
How can I do it in a reasonably safe and quick way?
Thank you very much, cheers, Rui
iMAC, OS 10.6.8... and yes, I love Snow Leopard light and handy... and all my programs work on it...

Move small groups of files to the /Users/Shared/ folder or another location and see if the problems disappear. Moving everything to a new user account will in all probability transfer the problems.

TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

Depends on how big the file is. If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it. If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi. Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there. Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example.
Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer. There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need. The good news is it is free. The bad news is that it has terrible ratings. For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in the same place. If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you. you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

Can I sync podcasts and ITunesU. from one computer to another that both have the same acount.

No. Time Machine won't get your boot camp partition back. There are excellent utilities that move entire hard drive contents among hard drives such as SuperDuper! and CCC, but as far as I know they don't work with boot camp partition. My suggestion: reinstall Mac OSX on your new Mac (you don't want to hold Option key to start it everytime anyway), partition it with boot camp exactly (or similarly) as you did to your previous Mac (install the same operating system, which should be one of the Microsoft Windows I assume). Use Migration Assistant as kaz-k suggested to move all the stuff on the Mac partition of your previous Mac. Reboot both your Macs from the boot camp partition - I assume they are all on Windows platform. Now you have two computers on Windows platform. Use Norton Ghost or similar tools to migrate all the stuff from your old machine to your new machine. Hope this helps. Backup all your data before such operation. Good luck.

Setups migration from one instance to another

Can any one please tell me how to migrate AME (Oracle Approval Management) setups and GL Setups?
We are using AME.B.(11.5.10.2). There will be quite a few of these setups required, and migrating by hand in all the eBS instances will be difficult.
Is there any other way (API/other tools) to achieve this? Can we use FNDLOAD?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Anugrah,
Unfortunately there isn't a facility to allow a customer iStore site to migrate from one environment to another (e.g. Test to Productions) easily. Currently the staging and migration of iStore environments are done manually, and some installations have utilized their own change control systems and adopted their own naming conventions for JSP customization and iStore content to make the environment promotion process more managable.
With that said, there are concurrent programs that allow customers to perform site administration around migrating template mappings between instances (import and export). You can refer to the iStore Implementation & Admin. Guide under the iStore Template Mapping Import / Export Concurrent Programs.

Bob

Can I move my itunes collection from one computer to another?

Can I move an internal hard drive which has my itunes library (music transferred from my cd collection as well as music purchased from itunes) from one computer to another? The second computer already has itunes on it but no sopied music from cd's.

Yes, you can move the hard drive physically from one machine to another provided you are placing it as a secondary drive in the new machine. You can connect to the transferred library by holding down shift as you start iTunes, then browsing to the relevant folder and opening the iTunes Library.itl file inside. You may however want to reorgnize the drive if you're disposing of the old machine as its system files etc. will be redunant. In this case I suggest you move the iTunes folder to the root of the drive before you connect to the library. You should also deauthorise the old machine before you dismantle it.
Ideally you should take a backup of your library before you start just in case something goes wrong. See this User Tip.for a suggested technique. Works with external drive or network shares.

Duplicate post.

How can I move someone's hair from one photo to another and place it on another person? I have gone through every instructional video you have and have not been able to master this

How can I move someone's hair from one photo to another and place it on another person? I have gone through every instructional video you have and have not been able to master this

Open picture B, the one you wish to select the hair from to add to the picture.
Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the hair. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the hair to the clipboard
Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
Use the move tool to position the hair from picture B.
In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and the hair (B) on a separate layer.

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

Hardware Migration from one server to another server

Hi All,
We require more information pertaining to hardware migration from one server to another server without changing OS & DB.
We are preparing installation guideline document for the same.
Has anybody came across similar scenario?.
Any pointers on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards
Tushar Vhora

usually you don't have to care too much about the tools used (r3ldctl = R3load control | r3szchk = R3 size checker | r3load = R3 Load), because you normally use r3setup/sapinst to fulfill the copy/migration. r3setup/sapinst will call the appropriate tools with the needed options...
-> which release are we talking about?
-> which os and which database do you use?
-> how big is your source database?
-> do you have any time issues while making the copy?

(v 5.5) I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another.

I can no longer copy and paste from one layer to another in Illustrator (5.5). This started happening a few days ago. Restarting Illustrator and also my computer (Mac) didn't help. Any ideas?

To clarify: If I select an object in layer 1 using command/c or command/x then select layer 2 and press command/v the object gets pasted back into layer 1 instead of layer 2. I've tried everything I can think of and can't correct the problem.
Now the only way I can get an object from one layer to another is to drag it into another layer in the layers window.

How can I transfer a naviagtion menu from one site to another site?

I have generated a very simple lab web site. http://neurobionet.neurobio.ucla.edu/~feldman/. One page in the main site has a link that takes you to a list of publications (i.e., click on Publications). This page that has the list is really just another iWeb generated site. I would like to have the same navigation menu on both sites. Is this possible? I do not mind mucking around the code if necessary.
Also are there any plans to have simple niceties like anchors incorporated into iWeb? In the same Publications page, it would be great if people could go directly to the year that they wanted to. Right now, the only way to do that would be to generate a separate page for each 5 year grouping.
Regards,
Mike

Hi Mike,
If both sites are WITHIN one iWeb domain.sites file- as in you've created them in the same account and in the same computer - you can drag&drop pages from one site to another.
If they're created on two seperate accounts, you can't. Migrating 2 domain.sites files into one single file would be the outmost nightmare.
The navbar is dynamically created from the available pages. This is cool.
I've got some expertise on modding the templates - i've even created a whole new style navigation-bar and know quite well what can be done.
members.chello.nl/haan2 for more info on this stuff...
Workaround...
in iWeb with the site open which has got most of the stuff, create new pages based on copy/paste from a browser.
You still can have two "sites", albeit in 1 account.
BACKUP your domain.sites file before attempting these kind of things.
It's located in ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb

Paul
