Brand New Mini - Can't Migrate from Old

OK, Santa brought a brand new mini to replace my trusty 2007 mini. I fired it up and tried to use migration assistant to migrate from the 2007. First I tried it via network. It got to the screen where it showed the old mini as the source but then just sat there with the buzz saw spinning and 'looking for other computers'. I don't understand why it was still looking...it had found the one that it needed. So I plug my Time Machine disk into it. It gets to about the same point...shows the disk and the buzz saw and the 'looking for other computers' message. Why is it looking for other computer? I rebooted and it finally recognized the Time Machine disk and I selected what I wanted to migrate and it went on its merry way while we had dinner. I come back a couple hours later and it says 'copying system info...about a minute left' or something close. I left it there for about an hour and finally shut it down & restarted. It then went to the gray screen with the apple and the buzz saw and hung there for about an hour. I tried a few more times and then booted into the Utilities screen and am in the process of re-installng Lion. I'm not happy. Any idea what the problems were/are? I hope I can get it working after all this. Did I mention that I'm not happy?

Building New SQL Server To Migrate from Old one and need to figure out how I need to license it.

So my head is spinning on setting up a New SQL Server.
Current setup is Microsoft Server 2003 Standard and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard. Nothing was maintained with Software assurance.
Environment:
Database is Limited to 2008 R2 Standard as Highest release I can use with it. So I know I need to do a Downgrade.
New Server can Be either Microsoft Server standard 2008 or 2012 x64.
The Domain Controller for right now is going to remain a Machine with Server 2003 Standard x86. It is Licensed with 30 Cals.
The office Environment:
The Office has any where from 5-7 employees.
They have 3 Office locations and employees are in 1 of the three locations depending on the day.
Between all 3 Offices they have 27 computers.
Employees also can access multiple machines through out the day.
Reception, Checkout and Third employee will be at their own machine.
3 Employees will be accessing their main machine but also float to at the most 6 other machines located in the office these machines are logged in in the morning using their own user name Employees don't login or logout on them throughout the day.
If they are in The Main Office they access the SQL server machine directly.
If they are in one of the two satellite offices the Employees will access the SQL server through the front end running on Terminal Services running on the SQL server.
My New Server will be Either a 4 or 6 core Xeon Processor.
So the Questions.
Lets say the scenario is I am buying Windows 2012 Server and Cals and Buying SQL 2012 Server and Cals and will be downgrading both to 2008.
How do I need to license Windows Server? How many Cals do I need and what way should they be setup?
How do I need to license SQL Server? By Server? By Core? How Many Cals do I need?
Thank You.

Hi,
In addition, basically a downgrade is possible in case the SQL Server editions are the same. Downgrade is only supported in case a downgrade of e.g. SQL2012 Enterprise to SQL2008R2 Enterprise is done.
I have attached a link to the SQL Server 2012 Licensing Reference Guide. Look at “Upgrades, Downgrades and Step-Ups” section of the document and check which version and editions are supported for the downgrade.

Hope it helps.

Had to install new hardrive, how do I get new operating system?

Friend took Mac to Apple store in Houston and they diagnosed problem. I was told i needed new harddrive. I purchased new hard drive and then had help installing it. Friend told me to get Snow Leapord discs? There is not an Apple store in my city, closest one 3hrs away. I'm wondering if I can download something or if I need to get discs.
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Did your Mac come with discs? If so, insert the Mac OS X DVD you have and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Then, reinstall OS X.
You would have to erase the hard drive. To do it, open Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, choose the hard disk at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)". If you haven't got the DVDs that came with your Mac, call Apple to get replacement DVDs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If your Mac didn't come with DVDs, start up in Internet Recovery. Hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your MacBook is starting up, and reinstall Mac OS X

How transfer songs from libraries on the same computer

i have an ipod and my sisters both have 1 too. i just found out i can have a seperate library from them, but how do i get everything i alrdy got on my ipod to my new library?

many thanks.
Actually, Home Sharing should work in your situation, because iTunes for Mac supports Fast User Switching. (You're better off in this regard than us over here on the iTunes for Windows side.)
The basic trick is that iTunes has to be open in both user accounts at once. Set Home Sharing up in your husband's account. Now switch over to your account, launch iTunes and set up home sharing there. You should be able to see his library now. Transferring from his library is now as per the standard instructions for Home Sharing transfers.

Boot into recovery mode, launch Disk Utility and wipe the HD. Quit DU and restore the OS. On first boot, migrate properly, using the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??

Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

Migration from old macbook air to new macbook air...beware

Although spent hours on the phone with Apple and bought necessary cables, they were not able to get migration assistant to work using ethernet.
You can't use firewire as new macbook air doesn't have it. You can use thunderbold as old macbook air doesn't have it.
Finally I was told to use Time Machine. After connecting old macbook air backup to new macbook air and using migration assistant, I got a message saying (essentially) 'you can use this from an old mac'. Spent more time on the phone with Senior tech support. They had no clue.
Finally called the store. Genius said, you can't migrate from old macbook air with Snow Leopard to new macbook air with Lion. You must upgrade old macbook air to Lion first.
GEEZ, do you think someone at tech support might have mentioned that DAYS ago?

That is bad info.
The MBA that I am using right now used a TM backup from my old MBP, which was running Snow Leopard. Absolutely no problems using Setup Assistant to import all the apps, data, user settings. The session performed flawlessly, and took about an hour to move everything.
If at all possible, use Setup Assitant, rather than Migration Assistant. The transition will be seamless.

you just have to install this software, connect your old ipod, copy all the files inside your old ipod to your laptop and after that put them inside the new one!

I have a new Mac and I migrated mi old one to this. I can not open iTunes because a message stating "iTunes Library.itl" can not be opened because it was created in more recent version of iTunes. There is not a new version to download.

Go to iTunes > about iTunes. What version are you running? If necessary, hold down the option key while starting iTunes and create a new, test library so it will start.

HT1444 how to migrate from yosemite beta to full vesion

Hi
how to migrate from yosemite beta to full vesion

When I look in "about this mac" - it says Yosemite 10.10. Do I really need to download it again?
I found on a blog that someone contacted the Apple service:
“simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update” – that means the final version of the beta software you are given to test is what will be made public. So we’re on the same build as what is now in the App Store.
My compute OSX is 10.10 but build is (14A388b) while some say that app store version is (build 14A389).
Does it really make a difference? If I don't download it will it continue to update?

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I purchased music on my computer with old email address, same computer new email address, but I get play music becasue it tells me computer not authorized...how do you authorize???

I have almost the exact same problem. I have a bunch of music, ringtones, TV shows, movies... stuff that I purchased that I can't authorize. All of these items were purchased with the same account I'm still using now. The difference is that I've changed my email address. I don't have the original email address from when I made those purchases and I'm unable to authorize them. I can see that when I view info on one of these purchases the "Account Name: " has my old email address... not my iTunes or Apple account. So, if I'm authorizing my iTunes using my new email none of these older purchases will work.
I'm really curious how to fix this. I've got quite a few purchases from years back that I'd like access to, but I can't authorize using my new email/iTunes or my old email (the one used for the original purchases).
Take a look at the info and tell me if you see "Account Name:" on one of your purchases. And is that associated to your old email address? There has to be a way to fix this or 'transfer' older purchases, especially if it's all under the same real 'account'.
