HT4889 what is included when you migrate users, settings and other files?

When you use the Migration Assistant, what is included in "users," "settings" and "other files"?

I think it's offered as an option at some point during the installation. But you can always start the Migration Assistant at any later point (it's located in Applications/Utilities) - that's the same application.
That's what I did, actually. I did a clean install first and only after everything was up and running did I hook up my old G4 and transferred things over with the help of the Migration Assitant.

  • HT4623 How can I up date my iPhone, when you go into settings and click on general there should pop up a thing that says update between about and usage  it does not have it and I can't update it now

    How can I update my iPhone,when I go  into settings and click on general something should pop up between usage and about that says up but it does not and my iPhone needs to be updated.

    If you don't have the update option on your phone, you will need to update in iTunes on your computer.

  • What actually happens when you "Manually manage music and videos"?

    I'm afraid to try this option on my iPod, and here's why:
    I am currently traveling for three months, and before I just left, I synced up my 80GB iPod with all the music I wanted (via playlists) and all my podcasts. I will not have access to my home computer for at least three months. However, I'd like to be able to sync up podcasts whenever I am at a computer that has iTunes installed (friends houses, etc..).
    Someone told me I could do this by setting my iPod to "Manually manage...", and just add the podcasts I want, manually. Sounds good, but I'm afraid to try for fear that it will actually reset my iPod which would be disastrous since I don't have access to my music library on my computer.
    Can someone reassure me that this won't happen?
    -tanzbodeli

    What I meant was, what will happen to the playlists, music, videos and podcasts already on my iPod when I change from 'syncing' my iPod to selecting "Manually manage..."? Will they be wiped out and my iPod given a clean slate, or will they remain there and I can then add to them?

  • What to do when you encounter "does not have the proper security settings

    What to do when you encounter: /Library/StartupItems/Qmaster" has not been started because it does not have the proper security settings. AND......../Startup Parameters.Plist ?
    I have a PowerMac G5 using Operating system 10.6.8
    I took this mac to  the Apple store, they reset my os software and I have been having problems eversince. Since this Mac weights about 50 lbs, I don't want to take it in a gain. But - I am 67 years old and don't really understand some lingo - so straight english would really help.
    I so appreciate any help I can get.

    >>I have no idea what all that means...
    rwxrwxrwx    root  admin
    It shows that the files are owned by 'root' & in the group 'admin', while being readable (r) , writeable (w) & executable (x) by user:root, group:admin and everyone else.
    Startup items must be owned by root, the group must be wheel, and they must only be writeable by root.
    You can't readily make the required changes via Finder, so you'll either need to reinstall the software that added them, remove (trash) them altogether (they start qmaster, used by fcp &/or compressor) or use Terminal & the 'sudo' command to alter the ownership & permissions.
    If you choose the latter - run these two commands in Terminal while using an admin account, you'll be asked to enter the admin password, which won't be echoed onscreen. Restart afterwards. It's important that you copy/paste these exactly.
    sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/Startupitems
    sudo chmod -R ugo+rwX,go-w /Library/Startupitems
    However - your startup problems with the prohibited sign are unlikely to be resolved by this, although it should avoid the warning messages you describe.
    When did the startup problems begin  - after adding any new software or making other changes ?.

  • What to do when you forget your apple security question

    What to do when you forget your apple security question

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    - Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    What does it mean when you get a "The iTunes library file cannot be saved. There is not enought memory available." ? And what can I do to correct it?

    Well, I installed the latest iTunes this AM, works perfectly.  Although for some reason it did lock up after playing a song today.
    Horror stories?  That's a bit overly dramatic.
    No, it isn't.
    The issue you are experiencing is one that has occurred in multiple versions of iTunes, a simple search would have revealed this.
    A simple search was conducted, no one seemed to have an answer.  Do you always adopt such a haughty attitude?  Or was I just lucky.

  • What's lost when you reconfigure Enterprise Manager?

    Hi all,
    Going straight into the questions:
    What's lost when you reconfigure a EM? And,
    What's stored in the EM Repository?
    Configuration: Windows 2003 Server Enterprise, Oracle 10g release 2
    All of the EM consoles stopped working after we changed the host name on a Windows Server. The EMC services refuse to start.
    It seems that using emca to reconfigure the EMs fixes the problem. But the other problem is that EMCA mentioned that all configuration would be lost.
    I tried searching around the forum, Google and the official documentation but couldn't find much details.
    It would be much appreciated if you could help me out a bit.
    Thanks,
    Benjamin

    EM repository consists set of tables in a database containing state information for the managed environment and information about the management packs. It is used as a back-end store by the Oracle Management Servers, providing distributed control between clients and managed nodes.
