Migrated new MBPro = slow . Best way to start again without same problem

Hi
I bought a Macbook Pro and on bootup I put my old powerbook with all my data into firewire mode and just migrated things across.
I have been very disappointed with the MBPro speed and have tried to clean it up a bit as I am assuming that Migrating things across has caused this slowness.
I am wanting to do a fresh install but need to get the critical things across
these include my Photo Library in iPhoto and My emails and my iTunes library and my address book. and bookmarks.
I will start from scratch with all the extra applications I have
So when I reinstall what is the best way to achieve this ?
I dont have .Mac accounts but I do have an external firewire hard drive.
To explain where the system is slow it is mainly on boot up and loading for the first time. I checked what was running and everything loaded is a UB so PPC stuff using Rossetta. The spec on the MBPro is standard with the 160gb drive. The powerbook is a 1.5ghz with and upgraded 7200 rpm drive. So I also assume that the PBook drive is a fraction faster but as everything else is way faster in the MBPro I would of though that this would still make the MBPro at least as fast to boot and load things.
It is not alot slower just a fraction but it is noticable. Once loaded the system seems fine and any cpu intensive stuff is way way faster
Thanks

slow startup could be a sign of directory damage, as normal part of the boot process is doing a directory check. booting up on the intel should be much faster, not the other way around. have you tried booting to the install disk and running disk repair?? http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214 that may be all that is needed to get the boot faster. as well, do you have anything hooked up to the mbpro during startup?? that could also be a factor. as well, if you have not done firmware updates for the mbpro, you should do that as well. this article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303880 gives up-to-date firmware versions and how to locate them on your mac. from what i gather there are limits in sharing one fw drive between a power pc and intel mac. see this thread. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2950422&#2950422 here is the macosx hints discussion on creating a volume bootable by both types of computers. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060322054212363&query=firewire%2B drive%2Bintel however, you would have to have the space available on the drive, and the inclination to put two different versions (one power pc, one intel!) of the os on one drive, so both volumes are bootable, one with each computer.

  • Best way to start a new catalog for 2009 ?

    Hi,
    What's the best way to start a new catalog for the new year, with all the keywords and all the presets of the modules (without having to export all the folders) of previous catalog 2008 ?
    Thanks,
    Dominique

    Well there is a cost too in not being able to find all your images in a single step, and inconsistencies soon develop - eg a keyword is plural in one catalogue, singular in another. Speed or stability issues are not simply related to catalogue size, and I've seen decently-performing catalogues 50% bigger than yours (as well as slow ones of a few hundred images). Have you optimized the catalogue recently?
    But if you think it's a good idea to fragment control of your picture collection.... Presets will be carried over to a new catalogue as they belong to the machine (unless you have the save with catalogue preference turned on). Keywords can be moved via the Metadata > Export and Import Keywords command. If you have lots of collections and smart collections, then maybe make a copy of your existing catalogue and then remove all the items from it - making sure you don't trash them of course.

  • Since I have uploaded new version of IOS 7 I started to expirience freezing problems of my device. Could you show way of fixing thise problem?

    Since I have uploaded new version of IOS 7 I started to expirience freezing problems of my device. Could you show way of fixing thise problem?

    Hello Baladadash,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  It is definitely inconvenient and frustrating when you are not able to access your iPhone.
    I recommend following these steps for an issue like this (you can skip 4 because it does not relate to the issue you are experiencing):
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If you get to step 5, I recommend backing up your iPhone before performing the restore:

  • Need Best way to start learning Oracle 11g  DBA

    Hi.This is Tejaswi.
    I want to learn Oracle 11g DBA.I've downloaded all software's and Documentation for Orcl 11g R2. Now. i want to start Learning DBA. Can any one suggest me the best way to Start learning DBA?
    Please suggest me the good books For Oracle Architecture and SQL.......

    Hello Tejaswi,
    The advice you got about reading the Oracle Concepts and 2 Day DBA documentation is very good advice.
    I found that knowing some SQL*Plus and SQL Developer was also very helpful as, they both provide a way to interface with the database and try the things you read about. For SQL Plus, I used the book:
    Oracle SQL*Plus: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition
    By Jonathan Gennick
    Publisher : O'Reilly
    ISBN : 0-596-00746-9 I openly recommend it. It is easy to read, the book is very well thought out, it covers what you really need to know (and more too). The author explains the subjects very well. I would definitely learn some SQL Plus and SQL developer before getting into the 2 Day DBA document (make those 2 days about 7 days each if not more).
    To learn SQL, I "sort of" used (I say "sort of" because I only read some parts of it available online and at the local bookstore):
    Oracle SQL by Example
    By Alice Rischert
    Publisher: Prentice Hallit probably has more SQL than you'd need as a DBA but, it is an excellent book you may want to consider.
    If you are starting from scratch, as I did, you'll find that you need to learn multiple things at the same time. I believe SQL Plus is the best place to start, along with possibly the Concepts document. That will give you a base to build upon.
    HTH,
    John.

  • Please suggest me the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.

    Hi,
    I have started reading about Oracle Procurement. I have an over all idea of how ERP functions. Anyhow I am like a fresher to ORACLE APPS. Can you pleasesuggest me what is the best way to start learning about Oracle Purchasing.
    Is it is throuhg user guides or some thing else..... can you please specify the references also.......
    Thank you so much.

    If you have a sponsorship, I would recommend taking classes with Oracle University. The other resources are documentation, functional and technical depending on what your interests are.
    If you can load Vision database or access vision database (I think solutionbeacon offers a free account to login and play around), that will be another resource as well.
    As you learn, join as much user groups like this one, and review all questions and answers in the discussions to understand and learn more.
    Hope this helps.

  • Sysctl.conf - best way to start at boot?

    Hi all! 
    My arch box serves as firewall/router to other boxes on my home network. Obviously, I have to use NAT and net.ipv4 forwarding set to 1 (via sysctl.conf file).
    My question is: what's the best way to start sysctl at boot, so those kernel variables are set (forwarding, syncookies etc.)?
    Currently, I've:
    - put my little script with "sysctl -p" line in rc.d directory;
    - call that script from rc.conf;
    - sysctl.conf is in /etc .
    It works... but, I wander what is the better/proper way of doing it.

    Thanks aCoder.
    With some other distros, it would be done automatically (sysctl at boot). User just needs to set values of the sysctl.conf file.
    With Arch, both steps are manual - and I didn't know any better way. In other hand, that's what Arch is about, eh!
    Cheers,

  • I have recently updated to ios6. But safari browser is very slow ,even twitter, Facebook also facing the same problem also cannot accsess to some websites too.

    I have recently updated to ios6. But safari browser is very slow ,even twitter, Facebook also facing the same problem also cannot accsess to some websites too.

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    For Safari ..... Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    "There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" I do not wish to use as iPhone anymore, just an iPod is there a way to use again without inserting a sim card? There is a hardware fault but this is confined to the internal sim card receivers and purely the parts related to the sim card there are no other hardware faults! I've tried dfu mode and a restore and cant find anything related to this anywhere on the internet, thanks for any help in advance, Bobby

    iPhones require a SIM card, that card does not need to be active.

  • Getting New MBP tomorrow - best way to get files from old iMac?

    Hi
    I'm getting a new 15" MacBook Pro tomorrow...can't wait.
    Anyways, I currently have a 20" iMac (Intel Core 2 Dual) and want to transfer everything (music, photos, emails, EVERYTHING) from this iMac to my new MBP.
    What's the best way to do this? Will it ask me if I want to transfer files from another mac when I first start up my new MBP?
    Thanks very much!

    Yes, the Migration Assistant will ask you if you want to transfer your personal data and programs, and it will guide you through this. It should work with most recent Macs. If your iMac is too old it might not work.
    You are not limited to FireWire. Newer versions of Migration Assistant let you do it using other protocols such as Ethernet, since some new Macs don't have FireWire anymore. If your iMac has Gigabit Ethernet that can potentially be faster than FireWire but I haven't tried it that way.
