IBook - MBP - how do I migrate programs, but keep some?

Here's the deal: I've had an iBook G4 for exactly two years. I've loved it for the most part, but I need to upgrade because I'm getting into higher end digital photography and graphic design, and I need the better video card. I have a friend who has offered to buy my computer and I'd like to keep as many of the programs on as possible (especially Office 2004) but I'd also like to sort of give them a "fresh start".
How can I migrate my files - mostly email, word docs, excel docs, preferences, mp3s, photo's, iCal, pages files to the MPB? I know there's a few things that don't work on the new intel macs. Does iWork '06 still work on intel?? Also, I'm guessing Office 2004 isn't Intel native yet, so is it even worth it to migrate over? I would especially like to leave the person who is buying my computer with office. The license I have for it is with my family (they bought a family pack) and I'm not sure if I have an extra license number, I'll have to try it out. But even so, if I do a clean install of OS X, won't I lose Office anyways? I don't have the install disks (in a different state...) Is there anyway to sort of clean things out on my computer? Can I create a new admin so they can at least start afresh, but leave them with office??
Any suggestions would be great. Eventually, I will buy a new version of office anyways through the company I work for, so I'm not too concerned about losing it for myself.

Start with http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1872713. As for the other stuff, first get the install disks that are out of state. Whatever you give your friend, you need to also give them the installation disks; otherwise, you need to remove it from the iBook because of licensing issues.

You run Windows in Parallels or Fusion. Then in Windows you install the program.

When you connect that iPad to iTUnes, go to the summary page and scroll down, there should be a box saying 'automatically update' or something to that effect. De select that.
With automatically update on, what you buy on one goes onto the other. but with that box off you can choose.
On the iPad itself, it's under
Settings
iTUnes and App Stores
and then you can choose what you want automatically updated between the two devices.

How do you delete duplicates but keep the orginials?

How do you deleter duplicates but keep the originals?

Mark,
Since you are having a problem that is not directly related to the original (and old) post (and I say that because this thread seems to answer the OP's question, but not yours), it woud be better to ask in a new thread. New threads have a better chance of getting answered, and you can give credit to good answers of your own questions. I..e., if someone else answers your question in this thread, you cannot give them credit.
When you pose your new question, it might be good to include a screen shot and a better description of how you have deduced that two projects are identical, along with what you have done to try to find them and where exactly you have looked.

In AdvancedDataGrid - how can I stop sorting but keep order?

I've seen this question a few times on the web and so far no one has come up with a workable solution.
I'm using the sorting in ADG with an XMLListCollection bound as a dataprovider. The user's are not happy because if the data changes in the column that's being sorted, the list resorts. How can I remove the dynamic sorting but keep the order of the sort. We want it to work like Excel where you do a sort but when you change the data it doesn't reorder the list. What's the best, easiest way to do this? My guess would be that I want to make a copy of the XMLListCollection but somehow save it in sorted order, then swap the copy in for the other XMLListCollection. Not sure how to do that. Thanks for any help.

Hi Barbara,
I had a similar problem recently and using the "more like this" feature I discovered an answer. To a problem posed by Holo7, who like myself was a newbie on this platform, b noir proposed a solution to Holo7's problem that also worked with my problem. It involves downloading a version of MS Windows Instal Cleanup and using it to completely remove all traces of the old version.
If you look at my problem (follow OldGit66) and the link to Holo7's problem then you will find b noir's answer which I think may help you. I am new around here so you might want to wait for one of the higher status correspondents.

How to delete itunes songs but keep music on ipod when connected

This may sound like a strange request but can I delete all my music off itunes but keep the songs on my ipod shuffle when I connect it to itunes to load on new music?
I use sony sonicstage as my main music holding library as I have a sony large storage mp3 player but use my shuffle as a exercise music player.
Many thanks

*can I delete all my music off itunes but keep the songs on my ipod shuffle when I connect it to itunes to load on new music?*
No you can't. The shuffle doesn't have the same full manual management setting that other iPods have, you have to have the songs in iTunes or they'll be removed from the iPod.

I have more then one apple ID's on my phone how do I remove one but keep the other?

I need help, I have more then one apple ID on my iPhone 4, is there any way to delete one but keep the other?

You can only be signed in to one Apple ID at a time. Sign in to the one you want and ignore the other.

How does the Migration program work?

I am having a problem with Iphoto and A support suggests that I do a clean install of SL then Iphoto to see if I have the same problem. Which is when I use the external 30" cinema and have iphoto at close to full size and go to adjust an image, especially using shadow or highlight I get crazy bars going thru the image, as it's a video card problem. Oh yeah it does the same thing with Aperture 3
However when I use CS4 or Lightroom I do not have a problem.
I have my HD backed up using carbon copy so I can do a restore, but I am not crazy about the idea of loading everything back manually.
If I use the migration tool, will I end up with the same system as I had before or will doing the clean install will avoid writing over the SL part?

Boot with the clone, if it's a complete one, then boot with it and see if the problem persists. If not, then erase the original source and restore the clone. Restoring the clone doesn't require reloading anything manually. However, if you didn't make a complete clone, you failed to properly use CCC.

Migration Assistant but keeping old laptop

My girlfriend has a Ibook G4 which she and I both have a user account set up on. I have now bought an IMac for myself and we want to transfer certain things to it in order for me to use that machine primarily.
I want to transfer my user account in entirety to the new Imac but we also want to move the I tunes folder (which is under her user profile) because we have much more hard drive space on the new Imac.
All of her other settings must remain on the Ibook for her continued use. Can anyone recommend the best way to accomplish this? I guess I can use migration assistant to move my user account but what is the best way to move the Itunes folder?
As I am very new to macs, will the music files under her user account now be locked to me if I transfer them to my Imac and place them in my user account?
Is it simpler just to copy both user accounts onto the new machine and if so, will the files on the laptop be unaffected (copied rather than transferred).
I hope this is clear and any advice would be appreciated.
Ibook Mac OS X (10.4.8) IMac 17"

The Migration Assistant only copies, it doesn't wipe anything on the original machine.
I would recommend that you move both user accounts over, and then log in (on the new machine) as her, move the iTunes folder to the Shared folder (you'll see it under the main Users folder) and set its permissions so that you both can read and write to it (highlight it, click cmd-i, and go to the Ownership and Permissions tab - set all the values to Read/Write).
Then, log back in as yourself, and move the iTunes folder into your Music folder. When you launch iTunes, it'll recognise the library automatically.

How can i update firefox but keep my drivers from the last version?

I have programs that will not work with the drivers in the new version. so i need to keep my old ones so the other application will work.

Update to which version?
The Firefox 4.0+ versions aren't compatible with PPC Macs, but updating to the latest Firefox 3.6.24 version shouldn't have an effect on "drivers".

When i cropped a picture using the crop tool to 9x6" when it was printed everyone was stretched looking tall and thiner how can i crop pictures but keep the people looking as they do in real life?

I have PS6
thank you

I have been trying so hard to try and get my head round this since your last comment so what I think I know is with my Nikon d80 having 3:2 aspect ratio pictures that I wanted printed can only be the sizes you mentioned above which is fine as the pictures I got printed were 9x6" but it's from now I'm still bit lost when I use the crop tool and pre set the size to 9x6" with a resolution of 240 and crop out all the bits I don't want it comes back from printers stretched so i'm still lost as I don't know the point where I'm doing something that causes the stretching? thank you for your patience
Lets separate this into topics Aspect Ratio, resolution and size ... etc
Aspect Ratio is just the ratio of an image's two sides. Your camera captures an image with a 3:2 Aspect Ratio. If you want to print the whole image your camera captures it can be printed and image size that has sides the have a 3:2 ratio without distorting the image.
Images are re-sized two ways:
One way is to keep the pixels your camera captures and print them at different resolutions. Resolution is nothing more then pixel size. Pixels have no size till there is a resolution set. Pixels themselves may have a aspect ratio themselves. These days most devices use square pixel. Some video standards use non square pixels. So if you have square pixels and an image with 1800px by 1200px and set the resolution to 300DPI the print size will be 6" by 4" if you set the to 200DPI the print size will be 9" by 6". Its simple math. 300DPI means pixels are 1/300"x1/300" there are 90,000px/inch 200DPI 1/200"x1/200" 40,000px/inch 100DPI 1/100"x1/100" 10,000. Note how quickly the pixel count climes as resolution increase doubling an image resolution requires four times as many pixels not two timas as many.
The other way is to create a new image using the pixels you camera captures. Your Camera pixels are resampled(interpolated) into a totally new image not a single camera captured pixel remains intact the new image has a different numbers of pixels it a different image. There are different interpolation methods some work better then others depending on image content and the direction of the re-size. Any time you resample an image you loose some image quality. The pixels are generated they are not captured using optics and a sensor.
Normally I do not resample when printing I just set the DPI so the image prints the size I want. In the Image size Dialog I un-check resample and the set the print width or height I want to print. Photoshop will calculate the DPI and set the other side size. If you crop without setting a DPI resolution in the crop tool the crop tool will not resample the crop to a particular DPI it should just set the appropriate DPI.
I resample image for the web Cameras capture more pixels then can be display by displays. So in the image size dialog I check resample and constrain the width and height to the image current aspect ratio then I set the number of pixels I want the width or height to be. Photoshop will calculate the number of pixels the other side will be. The DPI is meaningless for web images for Web images are displayed on screens at the resolution a displays has. Your images will display large on a large Low DPI resolution HDTV screen and small on a high resolution cell phone display.
If you want to print you image a size that does not have a 3:2 aspect ratio without distortion you need to crop you image to the aspect ratio you want to print at. You need to discard part of your image. The Crop Tool does not distort it discards part of you image. It may or may not resample the crop selected. I do not use the crop tool but if I did I would not use it to resample the crop I would not set in a DPI resolution in the crop tool.
Photoshop can also resize an image from one aspect ratio to and other aspect ratio a non constrained resize. The resulting image will be distorted. However Photoshop does have have a content aware re-size that tries to maintain recognizable objects perspective during the distortion process. This process can also be aided by user masking.
Cropping:
A 3:2 aspect ratio image can in theory be cropped to an infinite number of smaller images that have any aspect ratios including an infinite number of images that have a 3:2 aspect ratio. All crops can be resampled to a particular DPI resolution. However digital pixels can not be sliced up so there are a finite numbers of crops you can hack form a digital image

How to export iphoto library but keep thumbnails

My iPhoto '11 library is taking up 70G of much needed space on my Macbook Pro (2009), but rather than trying to add memory or buy a new laptop I'd like to move the Library off my HD. Right now it is all backed up to my external HD. However, I'd like to keep thumbprints of the photos in iPhoto if possible, so that I can see the photos on my Mac. Is this possible? If so, how can I do this?

If you try and do this with iPhoto it will complain and fail to open if the external drive is not connected.
However, this is perfectly possible with Aperture, if you want to go that way.

How to reset network settings but keep Time Machine backup data?

I am having problems connecting to the Internet through TC but works fine with Ethernet directly to the computer. I would like to wipe clean the network settings in Time Capsule but not lose the Time Machine backups. How to do this?
thanks
Ken

Just perform a "hard" reset on the Time Capsule (TC). This type of reset will not erase existing backups on the TC's internal drive.
