Key Chain - how to get my old passwords on the new system after clean inst.

Hello,
just switched to Tiger and took the opportunity to make a clean install, to get rid of my classic partition.
Before I made a copy of the harddrive data with "Superduper". I managed to get back after installing almost all my preferences, mail accounts, etc., but I don´t know where I can find the Key chains from the old system (copied already the files from Library and User/Library to the new system, but it won´t work..
Please help!!
thankz Denz-al

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I assume you clone restored your data back again from the external hard drive. If that's what you did, a more reliable method is simply to erase and install Tiger, and then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the external hard drive over Firewire.

But since you've done what you have, you may still be able to import the old keychain:

Ok, so I transferred my 3S info to my 4S by restoring from an old phone backup. But SIRI is gone and god knows what else?? Can I get my old stuff into the new phone and keep the 4S new functionality?

I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone. Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

What kind of "old documents" are you talking about, what format, where are they, etc?

How do you change your password in the new BT Mail

I have 3 email addresses (master and two sub accounts) which I like to change the passwords on from time to time. From within BT Mail I am unable to find an option to change the password. There is a link to Manage your emails which takes you to My BT. When I enter My BT and enter the Manage BT mail I am presented with a list of my emails. One of them shows an option to change password, the other two have option to add to BT ID. I tried adding these to BT ID but get an error message telling me that this can't be done. I then contacted BT support, big mistake, after the support tech took over my machine and subsequently began changing passwords on accounts I lost access to my emal and My BT. I have now got access to all areas again but the passwords on the two sub accounts are the passwords that the tech put in there, hardly secure? Anybody know how to change the passwords if sub accounts are not linked to your BT ID?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It appears flytothemoon found a work around for part of this problem below. I have to say this is another large oversight for BT and their email providing partners. Did anyone actually test the new system before it was rolled out?

How do I transfer old photos to the newer computer?

I am trying to transfer my older pictures from my older computer that isn't getting much use these days to the newer one that I use more.
My older computer is a Acer IBM laptop, I used that computer like ages ago, but I'm hardly using it much now, but I wanted to back up some of my pictures I had on there to the newer computer which is a apple MacBook Pro laptop, I am just wondering what would be the best way to transfer the pictures and videos over to the newer computer, I want to get some of my older pictures put into iPhoto on the newer computer, and have them backed up. Should I just try to back everything up on CD discs or how should I do this, if anyone got any suggestions for me, please let me know, this is a project I wanted to do and get it over with in a short amount of time, so I need to figure out how to do this, what should I do, thanks.

You can do things easily over networks.
Plug the Acer laptop into your network.. (using ethernet is much better to move large files). Plug the MBP also into the network by ethernet.. and even turn off its wireless.. the less wireless is involved the better for everyone.
Share the folder (directory) with the photos to the network in the Acer.. or if they are scattered all over the place.. move the files to the public access directory on the Acer.
From Finder in the Mac locate the Acer share.. and type in whatever user name and password is required.. this is where life can be a bit exciting.. using identically named users with identical passwords on both machines can make this easier.. otherwise just look up networking pc and mac.. it is not hard.
Then you can copy the files directly from PC to Mac.
Burning to CD is long process.. and does your MBP have a CD player?? None of the new ones do.
Otherwise use a USB hard drive formatted FAT32 which is the only common file format.. and hence will give issues if the larger movie files are over 4GB limit.. copy the files to the disk in windows then plug the disk into the Mac and copy them off again.

How to find old hostname remained in new system after system copy

Hello all,
Let me ask you about changing hostname during system copy.
I've finished homogeneous system copy. I changed its hostname and did not change its SID.
I know we should check and modify RFC destination(SM59), logon group(SMLG), SAPconnect(SCOT), operation mode(SM04) and instance profiles after system copy with changing hostname.
But my customer also used hostname for variant. I overlooked.
Then they require me to provide how to find old hostname in whole system ...
Do you have any good tools or idea? Any advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Ikue

Hi,
If u have not deleted the inactive profiles in the tcode RZ10, you can find the old hostname in the instance profile.
Also if u have not deleted the entries in the tables TPFET and TPFHT, u can find the old hostname here in these tables also.
Regards,

Can I migrate data from "old" user account to new user after clean install?

I've just done a clean install of Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro (I erased system drive before install). I've upgraded SL to 10.6.2 using a generic administrator account. And I have an exact bootable clone of my old data (SuperDuper backup on external drive).
I don't care about migrating all my old software; I'll reinstall it. But I would like to migrate system preferences, mail accounts, iCal calendars, and keychains etc. And some silly part of me wants to REname my username. (Also: I can't use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant because some part of the old image has Microsoft Entourage hooks in Mail and MobileMe that I want to get rid of.)
So here's my question: if I create a new account with the NEW user name I want to start using, can I STILL then copy over my old data? I don't know which of the below stuff has my old user name embedded in the data. Here's the list:
Your data in ~/Documents
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
Also in ~/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need)
~ /Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.
~ /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/Safari (copy the whole folder)
~/Library/Application Support/iMovie (copy the whole folder)
~/Pictures/iPhoto library
~/Music/iTunes
~/Movies/iMovie
Thanks for any input! I know a lot of people here have done clean installs, so I appreciate anything you can share.

what exactly do you mean by that? you can use Migration Assistant to migrate your user only (no applications). that should most likely suffice and i don't think Entourage will be a problem. you'll have to delete various entourage folders in your documents folder afterward if you don't plan on using it anymore.
So here's my question: if I create a new account with the NEW user name I want to start using, can I STILL then copy over my old data?
yes, as bdmarsha said, your user name is not mentioned anywhere in your home directory.
I don't know which of the below stuff has my old user name embedded in the data. Here's the list:

How to get my old apps to my new computer?

I have a new MacBook as my old one crashed. How do I get the apps I am still using on my iPad/iPhone on my new computer?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Just copy everything from your backup to your new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your idevice: File>Device>Transfer Purchases

You can use your backup copy of your computer to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, then you can transfer them from the iphone. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
Or you can redownload them:

I can't find anything that tells how to get my saved passwords and open tabs back after syncing.

I had to have my work computer restaged. I synced my FF before I turned my computer over to tech services. When I got my computer back and downloaded FF, I signed back into sync. But my saved passwords are not showing. I have all of the items listed in the sync menu checked (passwords, open tabs, bookmarks, etc). I finally fumbled around and got my bookmarks back and I am not as concerned with my open tabs as I am with my passwords. Thanks!

These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

How to get an application back on the purchases page after deleting it

Hi All,
I bought OS X Mountain Lion on the App Store and while trying to reinstall all softwares after experiencing somes crashes, Montain Lion report an error.
After many attempts, I could not reinstall due to an error, so I deleted it from my purchases pages and now the App Store will not give me an option to buy (even again) the OS X Montain Lion. Please advise.
Most of my others softares run on Mountain Lion, and until I sort this out, I can not work.
Yours sincerely.

How to load my old library into my new computer

I was recently using a PowerPC G4 with OS X 10.5 and recently upgraded to a Mac Mini with OS X 10.9. I want to restore my iTunes library from the old computer since it took a long time to get all the playlists together. I moved over the old playlist files and of course all my music, but I cannot get the library to show. I had to move my iTunes library into that "automatically add to iTunes" folder to get it to show in iTunes, but I still can't get the playlists and stuff to come up. I did the thing where I hold down the option key while starting up and then choose the library, but nothing changes in iTunes. It also seems like the file that might really be my library isn't selectable. So is there anyway that I can get my old library into the new iTunes on my new computer?

Start by reading through wjosten's user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 and also look at using Migration Assistant, or other means of connecting the two computers. A fast way I have used to move data is to connect the two using a simple ethernet wire, then open the hard drive of the old machine and drag-and-drop the material you want to copy over to the new machine's hard drive...appropriate application library in this case, of course.
That moves large amounts of material pretty quickly.
