Is there any way to migrate data from my Leopard 10.5.8 mac mini to my new Lion mini?

Just got the new Mac Mini that has Lion pre-installed. I want to migrate my data from my previous mac mini that has 10.5.8 installed. What's the trick to do it? Migration Assistant on my Lion mini is telling me to update the assistant on my old computer but it's already up to date!

That may work, if the file permissions will allow it. And it will work for "simple" applications, but not "complex" ones, that came with their own installers. See Transferring Applications. Complex apps must be transferred via Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant, or reinstalled from the original discs or downloads.

Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition?

Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition? <eom>

You could try using 'metarecover'. I don't know if that works after a metaclear, but it's the only think that I could think to try.
I think you could brute-force search for UFS filesystems within the underlying storage, but that's pretty tedious.

Is there any way to export data from a calendar 5 instance to 6.3?

I've run into yet another issue with my migration from calendar 5 to 6.3.
It turns out that one of our satellite clinics has a very large amount of data stored on our older server. Right now we're having to put the migration on hold because there are several hundred events on the old server that are repeat events and/or events scheduled relatively far in the future. This issue, along with the possibility of double booking events/appointments while both servers are active, is a serious risk that could have detrimental effects on this site.
There are a few issues that I'm not certain how to handle in this case. First of all, the old server's database is stored in schema 1, and changes in the LDAP directory structure from cal 5 vs. 6.3 made it impossible to migrate the old database and accounts. The new server is schema 2. So migrating the whole directory, especially at this point, seems rather unlikely.
Is there any way that I can export data for specific accounts and calendars for the people at this site in a version-independent format and import it to the new server? If nothing else we can schedule somebody to come in on one of the weekends and manually copy the data, but if possible I'd like to avoid devoting somebody to that for the several hours that it would take to copy that by hand. Also, this would not be the preferred method due to the fact that human error could result in our clients being misscheduled, which would obviously be bad for business.
I'd appreciate any ideas anybody may have on this matter.
Thanks in advance.

Actually I guess I was missing the obvious method of simply exporting to xml and importing on the new calendar. For some reason I thought that the exports were incompatible between versions as well.Hmm... whilst this may have worked on the face-of-it I do wonder whether everything has indeed been moved across and more importantly translated into the correct form e.g. access controls, uids => uids@domain format.
Is there anybody that can answer definitively whether or not any data will be lost by this procedure?There are simply too many variables involved in your proposed migration to provide any kind of 100% iron-clad guarantees. I would suggest you perform a thorough test migration of the data and then compare the ics/xml export from the ics5/6 systems to see if any of the data has changed. Also test to see whether access controls are still working (can a user who could previously edit another persons calendar on ics5 now do so with ics6).
Things to look out for are that meeting attendee information is kept, any 'fancy' characters (i.e. 8-bit characters) and formatting information is kept, the number of tasks/meetings is consistent between the two versions and so forth.

Is there any way to retrieve Data from permanently crashed Palm?

I have a treo 755p that seemed to die on me. I can't get it past the "Access" opening page when I power on. The phone gave me a message about memory shortfall after a phone call and that was it. My service provider -Telus- no longer handles Palm and so they quickly told me that it was toast... but I'm suspicious... They want to get me into a Blackberry.
I have discovered that everthing was backed up except for my Versamail and I had some important emails stored there. Is there some way that this information can be accessed in any way? Is there something I can try to do? The person at the store tried to reset the phone but that apparently did not work.
So... two parts to the the question: Can somebody tell me what steps I can do to save my Treo and if it is dead... is there any way to access the phone's hard drive?

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I am sorry to hear about the problem you are having. Unfortunately, the device does need to be fully booted to access the memory and sync it. If it is not able to boot, there is no supported way of getting your data off of that unit. A hard reset may resolve the boot issue you are having but the data would be lost. However, you can try a hard reset and answer "No" to erasing your data to see if it will fully boot. I will epxlain this process in further detail.
To hard reset the device you will want to remove the battery. Before placing the battery back in the device, hold down the red (end call) button. While holding down that button reinsert the battery. Continue holding the red button until the loading bar at the bottom completes. You will then be prompted with a message "Erase All Data Yes or No." You will then press DOWN on the 5 way navigator to respond "No" to this prompt. If the device still gets stuck and will not boot then you must answer "Yes" to resolve the issue. NOTE: BY ANSWERING YES WILL ERASE ALL DATA CURRENTLY STORED ON THE DEVICE.
I hope this helps in resolving the issue you are having. Future advice: Hotsync your device to a computer regularly to keep a back up of your data just incase if these problems occur.

Is there a way to migrate data from one user account to another simply?

Recently one of our employees has left the company. This user had pertinent images saved to their profile and we are needing to migrate those images to a new profile (Kiosk) so users can access the needed files. In InDesign I'm told it pulls file paths in order to pull up different images and documents. Is there a way to transfer these files without breaking InDesign? Or is there a simple way to recreate the file paths in InDesign so that we may move the user's information to a new account and recreate the file paths as soon as possible.
I was referred here from - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1397569

It would be through scripting. If no one else answers here, try using the InDesign Scripting forum:

Is there any way to get data from my drown i phone?

MY frind iphone dip in water, she try to fix it or at least get the data from it( photo , aplications, contacts,...atc) but no body can do it ?
I am shore that thaier is some way to get back the data , but i dont now how .

Because an iPhone's hard drive is nonremovable, you need to be able to turn on the iPhone in order to access its data. However, iCloud automatically backs up your iPhone's photos, applications, contacts, etc..., so after you get a new iPhone, the first time setup menu will give you the option to restore it from your friend's old iPhone's backup.

Is there any way to recover files from the guest account on a Mac, after the machine has been logged out?

I had uploaded some photos onto iPhoto on the guest account for my visitors, intending to burn them on departure.
I updated my Mac with a system software update, which required reboot so I of course types in the admin username/password to do so.
I received no warning message "caution: all temporary files in guest account will be deleted if you logout" as if you logout directly from the guest account, so I had forgotten about the guest account wipe.
Just today I switched to the guest user, and was dismayed to find the files gone.
Surely there must be some way to recover these files? Can anyone help?!
Thanks
Alan

They possibly still exist on the hard drive if you haven't overwritten that space already.
Your only hope is to try a file recovery program like Data Rescue 3 or some sort like that.
(note: the product linked to is an example of the suggested kind of software that may help you; it is not in any way my recommendation or endorsement of the product. I haven't used this product and can't comment on its effectiveness).

Is there any way to save data from a broken Iphone that still turns on but computer wont recognise it?

My iphone 4 was thrown at the floor and smashed. It charges still, and switches between showing the apple logo on screen, to blank, and then sometimes to the initial start up screen where it asks me to connect it to itunes. When plugged into the computer however the computer doesn't show it in Devices, and it doesn't appear in Itunes. I am wondering if there are any options to try and get all my photos and contacts off it in particular. I am not sure if itunes backed up the data when i updated the phone previously... Thank you so much for any help, i appreciate it so much!

If a repairer was too look at it and they are not with Apple, you would void your warranty entirely.
To check previous backups, go into Edit>Preferences>Devices on Windows, and iTunes>Preferences>Devices for Mac, that will show a list of backups

Is there any way to hide data from the BW developers in BW environment?

my company needs a special case where the BW developers need not see the HR data like income, age etc of the other employees but when a report is printed, the data should be displayed. Is there a possibilty like this?

Hi Nasa,
Please try the authorization object S_RS_ICUBE. One of the fields is "SubObject". One of the choices for this field is "Data".
Be sure that your developers do not have this field for the InfoCube/InfoArea in question.
That might work.
Another option (if you are on BI 7.0) is turn on authorization relevance for one of the InfoObjects in the Cube.
Then, be sure that the developers do not have an analysis authorization with this characteristic (or that they don't have 0BI_ALL). This is another layer, and might not stop access in all situations, for example transaction listcube.
Good Luck

Is there any way to restore data from an external drive to another external drive without using the macbook pro you backed up?

Is that I sold my macbook pro an the person who bought it needs it quickly so I have an external drive but it is not portable so I bought a portable external drive but it may take a while to arrive so I backed up my data with the external drive that I have in my house but I would like to know if I can restore my data to the new external drive without the macbook pro and just with the external drive of my house to the portable external drive.
Thank you

No, that's not possible. A computer is required in order to effect such a transfer. Connect both drives to your computer. You can use Disk Utility to clone one drive to the other. Be sure you first partition and format the new drive:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new external drive. Source means the old external drive.

Is there any way to recover data from bad ipod hard drive?

My 60GB iPod photo shows a sad iPod icon, will not connect to iTunes and will not charge. I have recently replaced the battery and it was working for a day, but now I keep getting the sad iPod icon. If I take the hard drive out and connect it with a USB2.0 mini enclosure to my computer, can I recover the data on it?

Depends... See Corrupt iPod classic.

Is there any way to transfer music from an iPod Touch to my Mac?

I bought an iPod Touch about three years ago now - used to have all my music on it for the bus rides to college etc.
A year and a half later, I bought an iPhone, so I forgot all about the iPod Touch.
I've recently rediscovered it and it has old songs I want to transfer onto my MacBook. Only problem is I don't want to download some unofficial app that's not supported by Apple because I'm concerned about security etc, and I don't want to have to use some program to download the songs again for free.. I'm not paying again for something I've bought before, and the majority of it isn't on iTunes.
I just want to transfer what I have onto a new computer.
Also, I can't use the 'Download purchases' option in iTunes - I've used it before, and it hasn't downloaded half of the music I've actually purchased.. is pretty useless.

Yeah, that's not the problem.
I bought music on my last laptop, which was authorised with this iTunes account.
Bought a MacBook, authorised the account on this computer, and it's not downloading music I previously purchased on the old laptop.
