Migrate using Thunderbolt adapter and Ethernet cable?

Hello
I need to Migrate data from a 2009 MacBook Pro to a 2014 MacBook Pro Retina.
Can I use an 'Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter' plus an Ethernet cable to do this?
(the 2009 MBP has an Ethernet port, but the 2014 MBPR doesn't)
Or, will the Apple Thunderbolt cable alone work to connect from the Firewire 800 port on the 2009 MBP to the Thunderbolt 2 port on the 2014 MBPR?
Thanks!

One more thing: can I use the USB ports on both devices?

I am running my first backup on Time Machine using a Seagate external hard drive with a thunderbolt adapter and cable. I have a MacBook Pro 2011. It is backing up 11GB, and is telling me it will take approx two days. Is this normal?

How to use thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter

hi mates. i just purchase the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter last week for my Mac Book Pro Retina. but i have no idea how it work. i tried just plug in the adapter and the LAN cable in but no luck...
Any idea how it works?

Plug in the Adapter and the cable to the adapter and the other end of the cable to a switch or router then Reboot the system. Then check the Network section in System Preferences to see if the Ethernet shows up. If it does your done. If not then you have a bad adapter, a bad cable, both bad adapter and cable or the Thunderbolt port is bad.
Or at the last a corrupted install of OS X.

HT201338 adaptor that accepts both VGA and ethernet cables at the same time that can be plugged into the Thunderbolt port

I have my Apple cinema display connected to my MacBook Air via the Thunderbolt port, but I also want to connect an ethernet cable.
Is there an adaptor that accepts both VGA and ethernet cables at the same time that can be plugged into the Thunderbolt port

I have a Macbook Pro {retina}. I have a Maxtor One touch (Firewire that I have used with a Thunderbolt adapter and it has always worked well, uintil I upgraded to Mavericks. Now it crashes when I try to use it. What gives?

I suggets you contact the manufacturer. They may have a software update or a workaround.

When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?

Hi All,
For invoking a PL/SQL API(either a custom or System API) in Oracle Applications from BPEL Process which is better to use?When to use Apps adapter and DB adapter?
Thanks,
ChitraDevi

As Sen correctly states for the DB adapter you have to set the context manually using the fun_global.apps_initilize or Fnd_Client_Info.SET_ORG_CONTEXT. This is usually done in a wrapper procedure.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert in this field as I have only used the APPS adapter for 11.5.10. I believe things have changed a bit for R12, but from my experience with APPS, things change very slow so although R12 is 10g App Server I'm sure the principles are the same.
Sen is also correct saying that base tables are not accessible via the APPS adapter. Basically the apps adapter is there to expose services, base tables are not services.
My recommendation would be different based on the experience of the developer(s). The APPS adapter simplifies the development but may not have the flexibility. The apps adapters sweet spot is those services that are difficult to integrate with, e.g. business services, xml gateway. If these are used heavily I would use the APPS adapter.
What I personally do, even if I'm not using APPS, if I'm connecting to the database I will implement a function, stored procedure, or AQ. It is a little more hassle during deployment, but it treats it more like a service and you are not impacted if the tables change. This is not an endorsement for you to go down this path because it does have a requirement to have PL/SQL knowledge, and it breaks the notion of service abstraction from the DB.

I have to download Customers, Prospects and Employee data from ODS and ORACLE systems into CRM. Data should flow in both ways. its 2 way connection and Nightly sync is expected but not real time. can i use XIF adapter with Middleware for this? or it should be done only using XI. i will make sure to appreciate your response by awarding points.
Thanks.

Hi Team,
Anybody extracted Data from External ( ORACLE, SQL Server) into CRM using XIF Adapter and Middleware BDOCs? Please respond if it is possible to do this way.

Yes, You may also need an ethernet cable.

Migration assistant with WiFi or ethernet cable?

I've just read that one can transfer files between Mac OSs either over WiFi or via ethernet cable and wonder if there are issues I should be aware of prior to attempting it. How long would the transfer take? Which is faster and more reliable? I'll be going between OS 10.6.8 and Mavericks (or Yosemite, depending on how long we wait to make the purchase).
Can I use the same ethernet cable that currently connects my iMac to the wall LAN outlet but use it to interconnect the two ethernet ports on the two machines for this transfer? I seem to remember requiring special ethernet cross-over cables for some type of action in the past (but so long ago that I don't remember why or what I was doing). I'm planning on obtaining a new iMac that will lack a Firewire port and need to think about how to go about this transfer.
I've had experience using migration assistant between two 13" MacBook Pros via Firewire 800 cable that took 2 hrs for the file transfer. The recipient was running OS 10.9.2 and the source OS 10.6.8. Only about 150 GB needed to be transferred.
Thanks to all for advice.

You can use either Ethernet, wireless, or a FireWire to Thunderbolt connection. Ethernet will be faster than wireless, and will work with the same cable; a crossover one isn't required.

Windows Migration Assistant very slow via ethernet cable but after 36 hours .......

I am using Windows Migration Assistant to migrate from my 3 year old HP laptop running Windows 8 to a brand new iMac using an ethernet cable..
The pairing went well but, after 36 hours the laptop tells me there are 13 hors to go and iMac says 8 hours +. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Wi-Fi and Ethernet are very slow ways and I don't recommend to use them unless you have to transfer small sizes. If they are big, don't use it.
What you can do is to make a Time Machine backup on your old hard drive, so get an external drive to do it. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
After making the backup, connect the external drive to your new iMac and use Migration Assistant to restore your files. If you haven't set up your iMac yet, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore the backup.
You have to restart both iMacs before doing this, so migration will be stopped

Connecting External Disc using Thunderbolt Adapter

Hi,
I have two WD external drives that are connected to a 27-inch (Mid 2010) 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7Apple iMac
as follows:
1TB WD My Book Connected to the USB Port
3TB My Book Studio Connected to the Firewire 800 Port
Question 1. Is it possible to daisy chain these WD drives by Firewire?
Alternatively, is it possible to connect one drive by Firewire and one drive connected to the iMacs Mini Display Port using a Thunderbolt Adapter Cable?

Lockup Plugging in VGA Display and Ethernet Cable

Three times now I have placed the MBP on a desk, opened the lid, woke it up, plugged in an active VGA adapter, plugged in an Ethernet cable... and it locks up. The mouse stops moving and it requires holding the off button to restart it. I am not entirely certain if it is the VGA, the Ethernet, or the combination that causes the issue.
This is one of those new (June 2007) MBP 15 inch laptops. Anyone else experiencing this?
It works perfectly once it reboots.
Given I have only done that 3 times, it is currently 100% reproducible for me.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I have this problem too. I think it's something to do with current induction through the connected sound cable, caused by the electricity in the VGA adapter. I think it is because the two output sockets are parallel.
I work in a school where all the staff use the latest 15" MBP. The problem occurs in maybe different rooms with different sound equipment.
The buzzing goes when the output is converted to an XLR cable (to be plugged into a sound mixer) via a DI box AND this DI box has the "ground" switch selected. This does not solve the problem for a home user and does not solve my problem as once sent into a DI box, the sound signal become mono. I'd need to double up everything and split the signal before converting, and grounding it, which would mean buying 2 DI boxes for each set up. Rather expensive!
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Using Airparrot with an ethernet cable: suddenly, it quit

I live in a large apartment using a collective server and router. When I moved in a month ago, the only way I could access my Apple TV 3 from my MacBookPro (late 2009), running Snow Leopard and using the third party Airparrot to transmit, was to connect the Apple TV device and my laptop with an ethernet cable.
(I had done this back in the USA, as an experiment; it worked there, so I tried it here.)
With the cable plugged in, Apple TV automatically cut over to mirror my desktop and audio. When I pulled out the cable, Apple TV switched back to whatever I was watching via the WiFi. Fantastic, if a bit messy cablewise.
However, a week ago, something -- Airparrot suggests an automatic software update -- nudged the Apple TV's small brain and now it refuses to display what's happening on my computer when I plug in the cable. Instead, tells me it's now off the WiFi network. It becomes obsessed with getting back on and won't mirror what Airparrot is transmitting.
I reset and reclaimed the 5.2.1 software OS per Airparrot's advice. But it didn't solve the problem.
What's happening here? Airparrot says the problem lies in the Apple TV software. Apple says the WiFi/Ethernet switch is built into the Apple TV design and that's just the way it is. All I know is, it was working before -- for three weeks I watched on the TV set what was displaying on my laptop, using the cable to connect my MBP and the Apple TV device.
Now I can't watch my favorite BBC shows (accessed via a VPN) on the TV screen, where they belong. Bummer. Any help understanding what's happening, or better yet, how to work around it, would be appreciated.

I discovered my own answer. Having recabled my MBP with the Apple TV using an Ethernet cable, I went into System Preferences/Sharing and enabled Internet Sharing. From the drop-down menu, I chose Airport (thought it could be any modality in System Preferences/Network) and checked the box for Ethernet. Went back to Airparrot and System Preferences/Sound to make sure Apple TV was picked as target and audio was enabled. Now it mirrors my desktop and audio, via Ethernent cable. All I have to do to switch back to WiFi Apple TV. Works like a charm. Whenever you need a direct link for mirroring, this way is easy and reliable.

Both thunderbolt display and ethernet stopped working at the same time

I use recent Macbook pro 13inch retina. I use both of thunderbolt ports on ethernet and display.
I was messing around with application, and I found chess game. I played it for while than my display and ethernet suddenly stopped working.
I do know ethernet and display is working fine because My roommate still have access to the ethernet, and My xbox still works on my display monitor.
So, I suspected its thunderbolt problem, and I reinstalled Mavericks twice and reseted SMC and NVRAM, which didn't solve anything.
Do you have any suggestion before I take this computer to Apple store?

So the ports still work, and the display still lights up when you use it with your xbox? Are you sure about the xbox part, I didn't think the thunderbolt display worked with an xbox.

Do you have the LED Cinema display? Look at the back, do you have 3 USB ports or 3 USB ports, firewire and ethernet?

CPU is very hot when using Thunderbolt display and mac attached USB hard drive for TimeMachine

Hello,
i've bought the new MacBook Pro 15" and a Thunderbolt display. Everything works fine for me due to the latest updates, but i experience an issue which i really don't understand. When i connect an usb hard drive for TimeMachine to my display it works like expected (CPU has a temperature of 64°C), but when i connect it to an usb port of the mac while using my display the CPU temperature goes crazy (spikes about 80°C) and it gets very noisy. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour?
May this has something to do with the dual graphics adapter and how the system handles the data stream to thunderbold ports and usb devices? Which graphics card is used for the external display, the internal gpu or the adapter from ati? I've googled a lot but haven't found appropriet answers about these questions.

Hi there ulairi9!
I understand how this would be a frustrating issue! I have an article here that can provide some troubleshooting steps for you, and can hopefully help you resolve the issue. That article specifically addresses the issue you are experiencing, and can be found here:
