Install and Migrate to a new hardrive

I have a G5 with 160Gb hard drive and tiger. Just bought a 1Tb internal and I want to install leopard on that and move migrate from the old 160. Any suggestions on how that might easily be don?

Install Mac OS X normally, and use the Migration Assistant after the restart.

Install and migrate to a new drive part 2

Hi -- I know someone else asked and was answered a very similar question to this tonight, but I hope someone can add a little info.
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a 300 main drive. I want to install Leopard, and I want to install it on a new 500 gig main drive.
I think the answer to this is to take out my current main 300 gig drive, install the 500, then install Leopard via the discs. Then I should use Leopard's Migration Assistant, right? My understanding is that Migration Assistant typically facilitates the moving of info between an older computer and a new computer, right? But if I put my original main 300 drive in my second drive bay, will Migration Assistant let me copy everything over from drive 2 to the new drive 1?
Thanks!

yes, you can do it that way.

Is it possible to migrate BCM 2003 data to BCM 2010 w/o first installing and migrating it to BCM 2007?

Obviously. I have my BCM built on the Office 2003 Outlook 2003 BCM platform. Now with a change of operating systems and various upgrades including the installation of Office 2010 with Outlook 2010 w/BCM, I seem to have no pathway to import my 2003
BCM Backup. I am now without access to my BCM database information and seriously compromised in my business. Therefore the question: Is it possible to migrate BCM 2003 data to BCM 2010 w/o first installing and migrating it to Outlook
2007 w/BCM?
Thanks Den

The reason I want to use the Back up and Restore process is I really want to retain my original Create Date on my Business Contacts
I will try to answer your questions below:
Question: Is there a URL to download BCM 2007 … I haven’t been able to find one anymore – I saw one a couple years ago but can’t find it now.
As info, I am running this on a Test System so I know exactly how to get BCM 2003 to BCM 2010 with the Create Date intact.
Yes, I have admin status.
BCM seems to work fine after I installed it. I didn’t go through an extensive test though.
What do you suggest I do to confirm BCM is working since I don’t have any data in it?
After I submitted my question to this forum, I tested the Export / Import method of getting my data to BCM 2010.
I confirmed the Create Date is the Import date. Drat!
Then I restored the OS System to the point where I had installed Office 2010 w/ BCM.
Then I Ran the install of the newer version of BCM. It “discovered” there was a BCM version already there and asked me if I wanted to delete it.
I deleted it or the install deleted it … I can’t quite remember.
Ran the install.
OK, here’s some weirdness I noticed:
The Download of the “newest” version of BCM I just downloaded is: V-4.00.12006.00
(KB 2793723.)
When I looked at the version number – File > BCM It stated I had BCM V-4.00.12006.00
This confirms the installation worked.
I ran the Restore from the backup of BCM 2003 and it states it has to convert from 2.03606.0 to 4.0.9812.0.
I knew it would have to do a conversion.
BUT, it states it’s going to convert to version 4.0.9812.0 NOT version 4.00.12006.00!!!!
How did Version 4.00.12006.00
get there?
Which one is the newest one?
Any thoughts??
I clicked “OK” to start the migration.
After a while I got the “Database Migration Unsuccessful” message.
Below are some errors I found in the Event Viewer > Application.
The date on them is about a week before the latest attempt to go from BCM 2003 to BCM 2010.
They are not from the restore I just described because they don’t have the date I ran the latest restore.
Any thoughts??

Clean install and migration of only one or two program

How does one do a clean install and migrate only one or two applications.

I don't believe there is a "clean install" on the Snow Leopard disk if you launch the install from your standard system boot. I believe you need to:
1) Put the SL disk in the machine drive.
2) Restart your machine.
3) Hold down the 'c' key during startup, to boot from the SL disk.
4) Once the system boots up, it starts the Snow Leopard install process. However, you have a menu bar where you can run several system utilities, such as Disk Utility.
5) Run Disk Utility and erase/reformat the main system harddisk. This will give you a "clean" disk to install Snow Leopard on.
6) After Disk Utility finishes, proceed with the install process.
7) After intallation of Snow Leopard, restore any apps/data you want from backups and/or original installation packages.
Hope this helps,

I can not get itunes to install and open on my new laptop i am so frustrated i have uninstalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times in the last month

i can not get itunes to install and open on my new laptop i am so frustrated i uninstalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times in the last month
i got a error 7 this time but have had diff ones befpre please help

Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
Click Continue.
Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
Will iTunes open normally now?
If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Okay ... so it's not one of the cases of bodged up ACLs on the Apple folder in Common Files. (That's been underlying a few of the recalcitrant E7W5s.
Just in case, let's try the fixit from the following document:

Clean install and migration

Yesterday I installed Leopard clean on an empty partition on an external drive, and used migration assistant to bring over all my accounts and apps. It worked flawlessly, and only one app had transfer problems (missing sync), which leopard warned me of at the end of the install. No sweat.
So far, no problems at all, and I have to say that on this G5 imac, leopard is certainly faster than tiger. I'm pleasantly surprised. No problems with internet connection, mail, etc., and I have my kids banging away trying to find any problems. If all goes well, I'm not sure if I'll clone back to the internal, or erase and install on the internal and use migration assistant to bring over the accounts and apps from the external. Any suggestions?

If the current installation meets all of your expectations, then I suggest cloning the Tiger volume to another partition on the external (for use if anything screwy eventually pops up—I still have Panther backed up), checking it out, and just cloning the new Leopard to the internal. Just my 2¢

What to do with iPhoto after installing and migrating to Photos?

I'm basically trying to understand what goes on with the pictures after migrating to the new Photos app:
After migrating to Photos I tried to open iPhoto which warns me that changes will not be visible in Photos. Fine, but will changes still be present in iPhoto? There are some pictures in the trash bin, which I guess will stay until I remove them from there?
I see both an iPhoto and Photos library among in my Pictures folder, about the same size. From the total disk space I do not think they are duplicates. How does it work?
Can iPhoto be removed, removing all traces, with no adverse effects on my photo library?
Another related issue that I haven't figured out: I heard that when editing in iPhoto the application would create a new image and save it on disk, while e.g. LightRoom would just store the edit information? Is it true, and how is it done in Photos?

I see both an iPhoto and Photos library among in my Pictures folder, about the same size. From the total disk space I do not think they are duplicates. How does it work?
iPhoto and Photos are sharing the image files using hard links. The photos are only once on your disk, see:
Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
After migrating to Photos I tried to open iPhoto which warns me that changes will not be visible in Photos. Fine, but will changes still be present in iPhoto? There are some pictures in the trash bin, which I guess will stay until I remove them from there?
The changes will stay applied in the iPhoto Library, yes. And empty the iPhoto Trash, if you want the trash deleted.
Can iPhoto be removed, removing all traces, with no adverse effects on my photo library?
It could, but I would wait a bit, before take this step. Check your photos library thoroughly, before you delete if.
If you should discover later, that the migration of your libraries has been faulty and you need to repeat it after repairing your libraries, you will be out of luck.
Remember, it is is just a few days after the first release of Photos as version 1.0. There are very likely some bugs and I would not burn all bridges before the library has been thoroughly tested and you are very confident, that this early Photos release is working well on your Mac.
Another related issue that I haven't figured out: I heard that when editing in iPhoto the application would create a new image and save it on disk, while e.g. LightRoom would just store the edit information? Is it true, and how is it done in Photos?
iPhoto and Photos have a lossless workflow like Lightroom. They store the sequence of edits, and create only a preview image of the edited version. When you add further edits, all edits will be applied starting from the original image, and all edits can be removed and the photo reverted to the original. With Photos this works also with iCloud Photo Library across all your devices. Edit a photo on your Mac and change the edits on our iPhone.

Want to upgrade Windows and migrate to a new Boot Camp partition

I'm a dedicated Mac user who must on occasion use Windows at work.
Knowing that it's always best to make changes one step at a time, I'm looking for recommendations before embarking on a multi-step upgrade and migration:
CURRENT SET-UP:
MBP 2009, Core 2 Duo, 3.06 gHz, 8Gb RAM, 500 gb hd
OSX Lion10.7.1
Parallels 7
Windows XP SP2
No Boot Camp Partition
GOALS:
Create a Boot Camp partition and migrate Windows to there
This will allow me to keep all my Windows files in one place and have access to them regardless of whether I boot into Windows natively via Boot Camp or via a virtual device using Parallels
Upgrade to XP to Windows 7 using Windows 7 Pro Upgrade for Vista
I bought this as a pre-release two whole years ago
Hey -- was told then on the MS web site that this path would work...
Use iCloud to sync my Apple stuff with my Windows stuff (Calendar, Contacts)
I currently do this successfully via MobileMe and Outlook Exchange
However, iCloud requires that syncing with Windows requires Vista or newer (so gotta go to Windows 7, 'cuz ain't going Vista)
Migrate all my Windows applications and files without having to do clean installs
I know, clean installs are always better
However, IT support at work is always overloaded, so I choose this route for now
Also, I regularly use Super Duper to back-up (clone) my internal HD -- and have restored a number of times, always successfully -- so that necessary step is well covered.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I ended up deleting my WinXP partition and the upgrade to OSX 10.7 went fine.

Trying to install and transfer itunes to new laptop

Help!!!I had a laptop that my wife an I used for our music. Everything was fine and we could select what we each wanted to sync (including apps) and life was good. Now,I just bought a new computer and successfully loaded itunes onto it. I then tried to sync my iphone but it wouldn't accept my music and in fact it wanted to erase everything. Is there a way to transfer the music on my phone into a new account? My wife still uses the other computer for her music and iphone stuff. Is there some sort of portability where I can download to a disc and then open a new account so I don't have to re-purchase ALL of my music and apps?! Please advise!
Thanks

Hi. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you try to copy the entire iTunes folder from the first computer to the second, via a portable hard drive, or an iPod, then it should work fine.
You will need to authorise the iTunes account (which you can do on up to five different computers) so it understands that it's allowed to play the music.

How to install and migrate info to a new laptop with Win 8

I got a laptop a few days ago with Win 8.... I am totally lost. I installed FF and it shows on my desktop :)
Now I need to transfer all my data there. I created a new profile in the desktop (Win 7) in case... Then what???
I don't know where to find the info I am familiar with. I use FF 22.
Can you please help me (again!)?
I will have to do the same from an old laptop (Win XP) to the new one.
Thank you very much

Hi JenL27, the Profile Manager lets you see ALL your currently existing Firefox profiles and choose the one you want to use.
Start the profile manager again, select your original profile, and start Firefox using that one. It will be a lot easier to work with your data that way.
IMPORTANT: Do not delete any profiles without making good backups.

How to install and migrate a single DC to a new DC with folder redirection.

Greeting's,
I have a Windows Server 2012 running AD services. There is folder redirection enabled to facilitate user's logging in from a different machine and still being able access their personal files. Folder redirection is configured exactly as per following
microsoft document : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh848267.aspx
Even administrators cannot access user files due to ACL's.
I need to migrate from this AD server to a new one, including user files. Old server will be recommissioned for other role. How can I do this seamlessly?
Thank you very much in advance,
Parth D. Maniar

This is how I migrate redirected folders
Remove the setting to move content and set it so that it leaves path when policy is removed
Start a system cmd: psexec -i -s -d cmd
From this system cmd, robocopy all files to new server with permissions
Migrate shares by exporting/importing registry keys support.microsoft.com/kb/125996
Create new policy with new server name -OR- use cname/a host record
And ALWAYS enable "Verify old and new Folder Redirection targets point to the same share before redirecting" GPO

Can't open after archive install and migration

Hi there, so heres the deal. I recently posted an issue I had with my imac and turned out the only way to save all my data was to do an archive and install. So I upgraded my HD at the same time to a 2 TB. They then installed OS X and did migration with my old drive. Also the reason I had to new drive was because the previous 500 GB drive was nearly full. Anyways, got my computer back today and everything is pretty good aside from missing quicktime 7 in utilities and a couple drivers and my printers but so far thats it aside from FC studio 2. They just won't open so I read some threads on that and seems like majority say to do a clean install of OS x and I just don't want to do that as I finally got everything normal again. I was thinking of just deleting the apps and reinstalling them but figured I would come on here and see if I could get a second opinion. Thanks for your time
Nat

Well for starters I can't back up cause I am away from home and my time machine drive is at home. But if i were to get it home and run a back up would it just back up everything as is right now which is in error. When i say data I mean all the stuff on my imac HD. Documents, photos, movies etc. Something needs to be done cause i see this problem has went to my iphoto as well. Can't open it which is not good. I put a few photos on there since my last back up. Luckily i do still have the drive that cause the was swapped out that still has some of the data on it. So if one was to do a proper reinstall or clean install, what is the process.

Installing and configuring a brand new SSM

Hi,
Our company decided to switch SSM platform, from the current Windows Server 2003 32 bit with MaxDB to a Windows Server 2003 64bit with MS SQL Server.
We've just installed a brand new SSM system on the new platform and we're now going to start its configuration.
We do not want to migrate any data from the previous installation, so a system copy will not be needed.
However, we have this question:
What is the procedure to "detach" the old SSM (it only does Early Watch alerts and has the System Landscape maintained)?
Is it necessary or just configuring the new SSM will be enough?
Thanks
Antonio

Hi António Barrote
If your old system is getting satellite system data using TMS/LIS rfc, then you have to remove your old solman from the Transport route.
If the datasource is SLD, then you can stop the communication using the tcode SMSY_SETUP Edit--> Expert settings. Remove the SLD server entry from there.

Hi all, I'm shortly to receive my MBP (getting ready to send it back for repair due to the possible whine)I'm wondering about 0 ing the hard drive and doing a fresh install of OSX minus the languages and printer drivers.

Thanks in advancve for any replies.
