Migrating data and settings from XP to Win7, do I have to overwrite the profiles.ini file on the new Win7 system with the old XP version of the file?

I have the Profiles folder and the profiles.ini file copied to a USB stick. I know I copy the Profiles folder content into the Profiles folder on the Win7 machine, but do I have to overwrite the profiles.ini file on the new machine too? Various strands of advice aren't clear on this. And are there any other files which also need to be migrated/overwritten? Clear directions would be welcome.

don't transfer, reinstall.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

How do I migrate sites and settings from CS6 to CC?

How do I migrate sites and settings from CS6 to CC?
Now goddam way I am going to rebuild 13 websites just to use CC

Well. With Dreamweaver CC, you could use the Sync settings feature to transfer workspaces from one CC machine to the other.
But with CS6 workspaces being transferred to CC there is a not so intuitive way to do it.
Backup/Rename the CC workspace folder [resent at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\configuration\workspace to anything you like.
Copy the workspace folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\workspace to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CC\configuration\workspace
Now you should have your CS6 workspaces in CC.

Hot to migrate mail and settings from Mail 2.1.3 to Mail 3.5??

I'm migrating everything from a mac G4 running 10.4.11 to a Mac Pro running 10.5.6 - address book, calendar etc was find but I am having problems with Mail.
I want to import the emails, email accounts and other settings if possible such as rules and signatures from Mail 2.1.3 on the G4 into Mail 3.5 on the Mac Pro. I've looked through various postings/articles but are not 100% sure on how it is done? I've had a few botched goes but it inevitably ends up with missing folders, missing email etc
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Thanks for the suggestion Debbi. After my previous message I was looking at the post 'Mail does not quit or show old messages after 10.4-10.5 migration' and tried the solution suggested there as copied below. Glad to say that it worked.
1. Navigate to your Library folder inside your home folder.
2. Locate the Mail folder and drag it to your desktop.
3. Launch the Mail application.
4. Mail will now ask you if you want import your messages. DO NOT HIT CONTINUE YET.
5. Navigate back to your Library folder inside your home folder. Notice there is a NEW mail folder that was created. You cannot delete this folder yet because it is in use by mail so we will just rename this folder Mail2.
6. Drag your OLD mail folder located on your desktop to your Library folder located in your home folder.
7. Go back to the Mail application and click continue. Your messages and settings should import fine now.
8. Verify that your messages and settings imported correctly and quit Mail. Navigate back to your home Library folder located in your home folder and delete the Mail2 folder.
9. Launch the Mail application again and make sure everything functions correctly.

Migrate Prefs and Settings from CC to CC 2014

I installed CC 2014; After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and some other Apps. During the installation process I did not tell the installer to migrate (missed that one) all my old Preferences and settings. How can I do this after the fact? Very important sine I have my work spaces and in After Effect some specific Output and Render Settings that I need to migrate to CC 2014 if am to use it going forward.
Please advise,
Thank you

Upgrading HDD on new MBP 15" and transfering all Data and settings from 2011 model to 2012 one

Hi all,
I have just purchased a new 2012 MBP 15" (Non-retina) machine as well as a hybrid 750GB drive from Seagate and 16GB RAM upgrade from Crucial. Both machines are running the latest versions of Lion. What I would like to do is the following:
Upgrade the HDD & RAM in the new 2012 MBP - I think it is the same procedure as the 2011 model (which I have already done using Carbon Copy Cloner)
Transfer all the data, settings, programmes files, docs etc to the new 2012 MBP and new drive
Q1. Would I have to clone the current HDD in the 2012 MBP with the new hybrid one first and then install into the machine before transferring the data from the 2011 machine?
Q2. Or - Could I just clone the current HDD in the 2011 model using CCC to the new Hybrid HDD and then instal it into the new 2012 MBP?
Whats the best and safest way to achieve this please? Any advice very welcome!
Many Thanks

So, everything went fairly well. It started out looking like it was going to take 2.5 hours, but it ended up taking about 5-6 (I think - I went to sleep).
A couple of observations - at first I didn't see where it restored everything, but I later saw that when I logged out that it had created my user account as a separate login.
Some things didn't transfer - most everything did, but there were a few things with my Parallels VM that did not. I have to get to the bottom of that. It did make me re-register once I launched it.
On the hardware specifically:
1. I am not yet noticing the performance bump that I thought I would going to the i5 processor - seemed snappy when I first had it on with OS only - but so far not noticeably faster than my Core 2 Duo 2.4.
2. battery - way too early to tell, but I am hoping the battery needs time to condition itself and figure out who it is (battery life was my #1 reason for buying this) - right now I am on battery power and have 79% remaining or 2hrs. 2 hours??!! This is supposed to be a 8-9 hour battery. Hoping time works this out. Brightness if only up about 20%, on wifi, keybaord backlighting fairly dim. Nothing coming over from my old machine would have affected this, would it have? (I do know that when the machine was empty with just the OS on it, it was reading about 8 hrs remaining). So much for living on the edge and going to the office without my power adapter today.
3. Heat - my 13" was not hot on the bottom - this one is - on the back left part of the unit. Reminding me of my Powerbook G4. Not very lap comfortable. ??
Any thoughts?

How can I transfer files and settings from a PC to a mac

How can I transfer data and settings from PC to mac via cable as the method via the network seems excessively slow. What cables do I need Ethernet USB?

This Apple Article may help.

I used migration assistant and my ethernet cable to move data and apps from my 5-yr old Intel-based iMac to my brand new Intel-based iMac running OS Lion. The old machine was running OS 10.5.8. Not all my files transferred (or I can't find them). Help

IMO, wrong choice. Start over, using a FireWire cable and following the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.

How do I migrate bookmarks and passwords from Ubuntu to OS X.

My Ubuntu computer still boots but its hard disk may be dying. I want to migrate my profile settings from Ubuntu to OS X on my Mac. I copied my Ubuntu profile folder onto a thumb drive. Everything seemed to copy fine except for one symbolic link. I tried to copy the contents over the contents of the Apple Mac's profile folder, but it seems to have had no effect.

When you run Firefox on your Mac, a Firefox profile folder is created with default data and settings. You have to remove the '''contents''' of the new Firefox profile folder on your Mac (e.g., the bookmarkbackups folder, places.sqlite , cookies.sqlite, etc.) and then copy over the '''contents''' of your old Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to the Mac profile folder. You should do this selectively, just copying important files (like places.sqlite for bookmarks and browsing history). [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] lists important files and explains how to transfer the data to the new profile on your Mac. [[Backing up your information]] explains where the old profile data is stored and how to save a copy.

How do I get rid of the Microsoft Setup Assistant loop? I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word, and stuck in a loop?

I migrated my software/documents from another laptop so don't have the disk to reinstall. Please help! Can't open any Microsoft Office software, like Word (for 2008), and stuck in a loop?
Whenever I select Word Microsoft Setup Assistant appears, asks for feedback, then after selecting okay (both on saying yes or no to feedback) goes on to a registration page. When I click on this it says I've already registered so I just click okay, and then move on to a update page. After this, if I click on Word, the process repeats itself.
As I said, I don't have the disk to reinstall, and can't find the Office Settings to delete as many pages have suggested I should try. Safe Boot restarting also hasn't worked... Really stuck and need Word very soon for work.
If you can help, that would be great, and feel free to ask any questions about the situation as I'm not an expert here.
Cheers,
Jack

First, export your contact from iCloud.com and save them on your computer in a safe spot some where (like you desktop). Use this to help you do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606
Next, on both of your devices, go to Settings > iCloud and turn on contacts and select Merge. Then turn off contacts and select 'Delete form my [device]' when prompted.
Now go back to iCloud.com and select a contact (yes they will all be messed up again) and select Command+A on a Mac or Control+A on a PC to select all of the contacts. Tap the delete key on your keyboard (or right click /control click a contact and select delete).
You iPhone, iPad and iCloud.com should not be empty for contacts.
Go back to Settings > iCloud on both devices and turn on contacts again (you should not see merge this time).
Next, go back to iCloud.com and import your contacts (those exported .vcards). You can either drag and drop them into the empty contacts list in your web browser, or you can use the gear icon to import.
You cleaned up contacts should import correctly into iCloud.com and sync to both of your devices.
Good luck.

How can I sync my iPhone 4 with a new MacBook Pro without losing all my data and settings?

I used to sync my iPhone 4 with a PC running Windows XP until the hard drive died. Thankfully, I already had a backup of all my iTunes media (Songs, TV Shows, Movies, Podcasts, Apps, etc), so when I bought a new MacBook Pro, transferring my iTunes library was easy.
My problem now is that I want to sync my iPhone 4 with my new MacBook Pro without losing all the data and settings. I have already used iTunes to back it up and transfered my purchases onto the mac. I just need help to sync the iPhone with the Mac without losing app data, emails, contacts, settings.
Everytime I click on the tabs (to sync contacts, apps, music, et al), I get an error message that reads:
"Are you sure you want to sync apps? All existing apps and their data on the iPhone “Ryan's iPhone” will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library."
What do I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

I currently have a 3G with iOS 4.2.1 and should be upgrading to a 4G or 4S (not sure - depends on what work gives me) running iOS 5 or higher. Will a simple back-up of my 3G be enough to transfer all my data and settings to the new handset?

I am wondering if there's anything special I need to do to make sure all my data and settings on my 3G iOS 4.2.1 phone will be transferrable to my new 4G or 4S iOS 5 phone. Is it just do a backup and transfer it to the new handset or something else given the different OS? I really need to keep as much of the data as possible as this is a work phone but also has a lot of personal data I'd like to have access to post-handset change.

How to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems

HI all,
how to load master data and hierarchies from R/3 systems.
Please explain the steps.
Thanks,
cheta.

HI,
Its normally done following: Transferring the master datasources in RSA5 to RSA6 and then replicating the DS into BW and assignment of DS to Infosource and cretaion of Infopackage and load it into the master tables.
Generally, the control parameters for data transfer from a source system are maintained in extractor
customizing. In extractor customizing, you can access the corresponding source system in the source
system tree of the SAP BW Administrator Workbench by using the context menu.
To display or change the settings for data transfer at source system level, choose Business
Information Warehouse → General Settings → Maintaining Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
Note: The values for the data transfer are not hard limitations. It depends on the DataSource if these
limits can be followed.
In the SAP BW Scheduler, you can determine the control parameters for data transfer for individual
DataSources. You can determine the size of the data packet, the number of parallel processes for
data transfer and the frequency with which the status IDocs are sent, for every possible update
method for a DataSource.
To do so, choose Scheduler → DataSource → Default Settings for Data transfer.
In this way you can, for example, update transaction data in larger data packets in the PSA. If you
want to update master data in dialog mode, smaller packets ensure faster processing.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks,Ramoji.
