Mac Data Migrating to PC

I have a MacBook Pro 15" with Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz processor, memory of 4 GB ram, since I want to delete my account and create a new account I'm transferring all my data from the old account to my PC using a 32 GB USB pen drive, When I transfer my data to my PC it starts getting slow n sluggish and would make it hard for me to operate or move the files from my mac.
Can you please tell why does it freeze my PC ???

What files are you porting over? What applications were they created from? And yes the data is different although some programs allow their files to be read on both platforms. But the first two questions need answers.

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to new Mac. If I run Time Machine and "inherit" the old backups will TM take up where I left off, or delete and overwrite the current data?

I have a new Macbook Pro. All data from prior Mac was migrated to the new Mac. I want to continue Time Machine on the new Mac and retain the history. An option is to "inherit" the old Time Machine. I want to make sure this does not errase the current data, but creates a current backup.

Data migration killed my mac. Anyone else?

Please let me know if this has happened to you or anyone else. Started data migration from my DualG5 to my new 8 core, and it fried the hard drive on the G5 after 1/2 hour of connection. Gone. Dead. Kaput. Cofirmed by Apple techs. Un-reformattable. Thanks.

Drives fail, I would be it was a simple coincidence. I would make sure they check the power supply, could have been surge that killed the drive.

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

Well, my two-month-old MBP has no qualms about booting from a no-name external USB HD I put together...
Given that is is a common point of failure, I would imagine a large Apple Store should keep a stock of HD's on hand.
Now since you're a bit desperate and the genie pops up til Saturday and you seem to be the enterprising kind, let's try an experiment: if you have room enough in the external HD and assuming it isn't a Time Machine volume, why don't you plug it in, stick the Install CD and see if the installer lets you select the external drive as the install target. If you can install Leopard on it, on top of the backup without reformatting, and the Mac can boot from the drive afterwards, at least you would have some functionality restored and would be able to pull your stuff from the internal HD. Apple says booting from USB drives is not supported but that does not equate to not possible; some brands do work. Risks? Always. You can always lose your backup. Like I said, a challenge for an enterprising gal....
Next time around, consider having a bootable external clone at hand for rainy days. I keep three myself...
P.S. Since I'll be in the Dallas-FW area in late June, I can volunteer with the confetti....

Data migration to new macbook via external usb?

So I have a macbook pro right now and am looking at getting a macbook. I want to use the data migration assistant during the macbook setup to keep all my files, applications and things from the mbp.
The question is can I use a external usb drive to do this or does it have to be firewire? I wouldn't actually have both computers at the same time, so I would create a restore on the external usb and just plug that intot he new macbook. Would that do?
If not and I need firewire, would a simple usb to firewire adapter work?
Thanks

Patience sir. People who have an answer will post. If no one does, it's probably too esoteric for most. See "A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs" at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580146. That should get you started.

I just bought a new IMAC. All my itunes was backed up on my ext hardrive. The data migrated over but I cannot find it. Can you tell me where it is

Hi!
Just for future reference, I've moved my site to http://pondini.org, since Apple is dropping web hosting in June.
Both sites are active now; after a few days, I'll put redirect notices on the old one, then leave it there until it goes "poof."

IPad1 to iPad2 data migration questions

Hi,
Before data migration from iPad1 to iPad2 (backup and restore/ sync), I assume that we need to have the updated iTunes software (on Mac/ Windows). Is it necessary for iPad1 to have updated version of firmware before data migration to iPad2? Is it okay if iPad1 firmware be the same or older version of the iPad 2's firmware?
Is it possible to have 2 iPads backup on iTunes?
Is there any specific suggestion for data migration if we are going to migrate huge amount of data (>15 GB mainly business applications, library files) from iPad1 to iPad2? Any possible issues which I can eliminate/ reduce beforehand by custom setting in iTunes?
Thanks for your help.

I'll try to shed light on this:
1) I think it's best to activate the new iPad as a new device, but you'll get people that disagree. I say start your iPad 2 fresh as a daisy. The version of iOS will not matter in this case.
2) Absolutely. Just give the new one a different name, so there is no confusion. itunes will keep track.
Like iPad 1 = dotexe.....iPad 2 = dotexe2. Or similar.
3) No, not in itunes. Just make sure the data is all selected in itunes as to source, etc. And the apps are all selected, before you sync.
Hope this helps...

Data Migration to second Harddrive (like Hardwrk suggests)

I just built a second harddrive (ssd) into my mac. For the data migration, i followed the hardwrk suggestion, but this was for OSX Snow Leopard, so maybe that´s the reason why I now have both the new installed and the old system when i push "alt" key while booting, although the old system doesn´t exist any more. Now the question: is it possible to delete the "boot area" that the Harrdrive is not recognized any more as a bootable media? I don´t want to format it because there remains the user data and a windows partition. I only want to delete the actually not existing ability to boot, and the recovery partition.

Data migration cables

Hi all!
What cables are best to perform a data migration from one MacBook Pro to another--both running Mountain Lion? I was thinking firewire 800.... And what other tips do you have for this process....never done it before. I see there is a Data Migration App in the utilities on the Mac, but I've never used it. Any advice?
Thanks so much!!

HT4889 Data migration problems

I have gotten half way through data migration from my MacBook to my new MacBook Pro. It has taken an overwhelming length of time to get this far but the process has not progressed for 24 hours. How do I get out of this process without damaging my computers or the data?

Hello Mongoi and welcome to  Discussions.
The new Intel's cannot connect with some of the older iMacs via Firewire. I had the same problem, so instead I connected the two via File Sharing (Connect to Server using the Intel to connect to my old G4) and moved things across manually.
Click on this link for some detailed information about the differences between your old and new system, keeping in mind you will need to move things across manually.

Missing photos in Iphoto Data migration between iMacs

OMG, Please help! I got my new iMac yesterday and did a data migration from my old mac. 2 hours later all my files and stuff are on the new machine.
I just went into iPhoto and it says there are 16,000 pics there, but instead of photos all I have are 16,000 blank boxes. You click on them as if you were opening a pic and all you get is a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle.
Have I lost all my pictures??

it says iPhoto libary 129.82 GB
Sounds like the photos are there anyway.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Fixed Asset Data Migration Wizard

Hi All,
I tried to use Fixed Asset Data Migration Wizard to migration my fixed asset data from 8.82 to 9 in the development server. The server only accessible by myself.
When I start the migration run, system prompt me " To Continue with the fixed asset data migration, you must be the only user logged on to this company data".
In fact I'm the only user in the company data and system not allow me to execute the migration.
What are the causes that system recognise there is another user in the system?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,

Hi,
If you're using SQL Server, try Detach (close existing connections) and re-Attach the database again then re-login and try executing again the wizard.

Data Migration for Open Purchase Order

Hi, All,
Is there anyone know how to Count the volume for Open Purchase Order. What's the normal strategy for the Data Migration and Cut-over stage?
My client want to know how many Open Purchase Order in the legacy system and then determine manual or automatic data migration. If manual, how to do? If automatic, how to do? Because all materials and vendors, plants are different number. How to track? How to find out to match between new and old?
Thank you very much

JC,
Sounds a bit early to be making decisions about the realization phase. It doesn't sound like you have finished the Blueprinting phase yet, much less the testing phase.
Anyhow, in my experience I typically use LSMW (Legacy system migration workbench) to load MM master data (material masters), Inventory (WIP, RM, FG, etc) Purchasing Master data (Vendors, Purchase Info Records, Source Lists, Quota Arrangements), and Purchasing transactional documents (POs, PurReqs, Scheduling Agreements, etc). Depending on the complexity and volume of data, it may be necessary to write custom programs to load the data. You will find this out during your requirements gathering.
It is uncommon but possible to load all of these data manually. I have never run across a client that wants to pay a consultant's hourly rate to sit at a terminal to peck away loading master data, so if the client intends to have his own users enter the data manually, the project manager should make provision that there will be qualified TRAINED client employees available for this data entry. I did help with a portion of a conversion once manually; of Sales Credits, but there were only about 30 SD docs to load. I did this the evening before go-live day, while I was waiting for some of my LSMW projects to complete in the background.
A good opportunity to 'practice' your data loads is right after you have completed your development and customization, and you have gotten the approval from the client to proceed from the pilot build to the full test environment. Once you have moved your workbench and customization into the client's test environment, but before integration testing, you can mass load all, or a substantial portion of your conversion data into the qual system. You can treat it like a dry run for go-live, and fine tune your processes, as well as your LSMW projects.
Yes, it is good practice to generate comparisons between legacy and SAP even if the client doesn't ask for it. For Purchase orders on the SAP side, you could use any of the standard SAP Purchasing reports, such as ME2W, ME2M, ME2C, ME2L, ME2N. If these reports do not meet the requirements of the client, you could write a query to display the loaded data, or have an ABAPer write a custom report.
You didn't ask, but you should also do comparisons of ALL loaded data - including master data.
It sounds like you are implying that the client wants YOU to extract the legacy data. For an SAP consultant, this is not very realistic (unless the legacy system is another SAP system). Most of us do not understand the workings of the myriad legacy systems. The client is usually expected to produce one or more legacy system technical experts for you to liase with. You normally negotiate with the technical expert about every facet of of the data migration. In addition, you will liase with business users, who will help you and the implementation team to logically validate that the final solution (turnkey SAP production system, fully loaded with data) will meet the client's business needs.
Finally, you mentioned how do you track the mapping of master data between legacy and SAP. There are many ways to do this. I normally try to get the legacy person do the conversion on his end, eg, when he gives you the load file, you would like to have already translated the master data and inserted the SAP relevant values into the file. If this is not possible, I usually use MS Access databases to maintain a master map, and I perform the mapping on a PC. If your data package is small, you can probably get by using MS Excel or similar.
Good Luck,
DB49
