Migrating from 2007 MBP to 2009 unibody 17" MBP

Hi all, hope you're all well!
I'm expecting delivery of my new 17" Unibody MacBook Pro this week and have heard conflicting things as to how best migrate my data from the old 2007 15" Intel MBP to the new machine and hope you kind folk can clear it up for me.
If I choose to migrate all my old data to my new Mac, will the Time Machine backup stay intact, and will the Migration Assistant handle this?
I'm concerned that my older versions of iLife and OS X will overwrite the newer versions, in effect getting rid of newer software and new system prefs like the multi-touch, is this completely unfounded and paranoid?!
I've heard on the discussions that some people have had problems with this method, and that all isn't as smooth sailing as Apple's literature will have you believe, is there anything I should look out for?
Also, if anyone has any tips, I have a Boot Camp partition running with Parallels on my old machine, what's the best way to get this intact to my new machine?
Thanks in advance for your time and answers!
Best
A.

Well the new Mac came (it is beautiful) and the Time Machine migration went off without a hitch! Don't know what the problems people have been experiencing are all about.
Now to make a new Boot Camp partition which is fine, the only sensitive data worth saving on that is my Fallout 3 save games!

  • Whether or not to change stock thermal paste on early 2009 unibody 17" MBP CPU?

    I have a first generation (early 2009) unibody 17" MBP, now out of warranty / Apple Care. It's been working fine in general, however I've been increasingly concerned about the CPU temps when I encode with Hand Brake, and some times when doing things in VMWare (Win XP) and in OS X at the same time. Under those two sets of circumstances, my CPU temp (as read out by iStat Menus 3) routinely hits 100 C. (I've never seen it hotter than 102 - 103, it'll hang around 100 for a while, then eventually cool down to mid 90's as a new equilibrium seems to be reached. Will hang there until the processor intensive task is done, then quickly cool off.) Generally idles in the 40's.
    I've looked and looked, and found no reassuring consensus on whether or not changing the stock Apple glob of thermal grease for a thin application of Arctic Silver will help this situation. I've found as many no's as yes's on the matter, and about as many different views on the details of MBP cooling as posters expressing them.
    So, what I'm really looking for is whether or not anyone's collected a lot of data points on the subject, and can paint any sort of trend based upon a large denominator of users reporting their experiences. I did find links to a website that apparently did this in 2005, or thereabouts, but all those links are dead, and that was well before the dawn of the unibody anyway.
    Was wondering if anyone knew of a source of knowledge on this issue that draws from more than educated hypothesis, or one's own experiences.
    I'm already planning on routinely jacking up the fan speeds when doing these CPU heavy tasks, and I elevate the computer off the table to help with ventilation. Also, I've seen several people say that the CPU was made to handle these temps, however, I looked at the Intel data sheets on these processors (<http://download.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/32012001.pdf>, page 102), and the max tjunction temp is 105C, which I'm getting awfully close to whenever I encode.
    Thank you!

    I say go for it. About a year ago I had to replace the fan system on my old Dell i8200. To do that I had to take the complete system apart. So while I had everything out of the case, laying there in pieces/parts (including taking the heatsink system completely off the CPU/GPU) I cleaned everything and applied Arctic Silver to both CPU/GPU. System ran cooler then the first day I took it out of the box new.
    Personally I would disregard the comment above. Yes you can use WAY to Much thermal paste but if you cover the complete CPU with a thin even layer (even if it is a little to much) it will still work fine, as long as you move the heatsink around when resetting it to even it all out.
    From reports from other Mac users, the one that have Baked there logic boards to fix the 2008 NVidia problem that Apple refuses to stand up for, that when they took there systems apart there was thermal paste everywhere. Clearly Apple assemblers think that if a little is good a whole bunch is better. Which isn't the case. But what do they care. The assemblers need something like Macdonald's has for dispensing Ketchup. One squirt and you always get the same amount.
    Go For It.
    Good Luck.

  • Migration from 2007.1 to 10

    Hi,
    Does anyone know if migration from 2007.1 to ATG 10 needs to step up to ATG 9 first? That's a logical step but in my Migration Kit, I found DB scripts that takes your schema from 2007.1 to 10.
    Does anyone know where the ATG 2007.1 to ATG 9 migration document can be found? The link is broken on the old communities site.

  • Migration from 2007 and Archive Mailbox PST import question

    Our enterprise will be migrating from Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 CU3 very shortly. Exchange 2013 is set up and I am in coexistance mode currently. Everything is working fine with the legacy redirection, I have tested some mailbox migrations and they
    work fine. We currently use Mimosa Nearpoint as a third party email archive product.
    As part of this migration from 2007 to 2013, we plan on moving away from Mimosa Nearpoint and utilizing the Exchange 2013 Archive Mailbox feature. We will give each user an Archive Mailbox. We have the ability to export the users existing archive out of
    NearPoint to .PST files and then migrating them directly into the users Archive Mailbox using the "New-MailboxImportRequest -IsArchive" powershell commandlet. This has been tested and works fine with one very important exception.
    When I export from Nearpoint, I have to export the entire contents of the archive, I cannot set date ranges. So when I do an export, it also contains the contents of the user's mailbox. I have managed folder policies in place in the Exchange 2007 environment
    which delete all contents of the mailbox older than 60 days, but when I import the .PST to the archive, it imports ALL items into the Archive Mailbox. So I have 60 days worth duplication of items.
    It is my understanding that if I imported the Archive .PST directly into the users production mailbox in the 2013 side, that it would not import duplicate items. I am trying to find out if there is any process which will do the same thing with me importing
    directly into the users Archive Mailbox.
    Thanks you,

    Hi,
    We used a third patry email archive product to export to .pst files, so it is too hard to say that whether it cause this issue.
    However, I found a method to delete the duplicate items from our mailbox via MFCMAPI Tool.
    Please make sure that the Exchange Server mailbox has been backed up first.
    Details in the following KB:
    How to remove duplicate folders in Outlook when connected to an Exchange Server mailbox
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509983
    I also found a script to remove duplicate items.
    This script will scan each folder of a given mailbox and removes duplicate items from those folders. You can specify how the items should be deleted and what items to process, e.g. mail items or appointments. Sample usage is after a misbehaving synchronization
    tool creates duplicate items or (accidental) import of PST file with duplicate items.

  • Some clients migrated from 2007 is presented with the self signed certificate in 2013

    I have migrated from 2007 to 2013. I did a couple of test migrations and on the ones with domain member computers Outlook is giving a certificate warning. The certificate they are presented with is the default self signed certificate on the 2013 server.
    Even though I have added a trusted public certificate to Exchange and checked of to use With IIS.
    I see that the default certificate is also checked of to use With IIS and it cant be removed in ECS. Shouldnt this be removed from IIS all together when adding a New certificate? And why does some Clients gets presented With the self signed and some With
    the Public? For instance owa is presented With the Public cert. Also and Outlook I tested from outside the domain.
    Regards

    Only the UCC certificate should be bound to IIS.
    Are any clients using POP or IMAP, which also use SMTP?  In this case clients can be presented with the "wrong" certificate as well.

  • Migration from 2007 to 2010 - AD issue

    Can I commit the migration, changing the "source-ad\user01" account resources, to "destination-ad\user01"?
    I assume that the account name are the same between "source-ad" and "destination-ad.com"

    If you are looking to Migrate the Project server between domains and also migration of project server from 2007 to 2010, then it is best to migrate the Project server from one domain to another domain first and then migrate it from 2007 to 2010.

  • Mac Outlook 2011 Not Syncing After User Is Migrated from 2007 to 2013

    I have a couple users using Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.4.1) that have trouble automatically syncing their mailboxes after being migrated from our Exchange 2007 environment to our Exchange 2013 environment.  When they kick off a manual sync, it works
    fine.  Automatic syncing is very hit and miss and can go for hours before syncing.  Identities, accounts, and profiles have been rebuilt without success.  Is there something to look for client side or perhaps server side in EWS settings?  Thanks.

    Hi Peter,
    Does this syncing issue occur in OWA?
    If it works well in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook for Mac 2011 side.
    I suggest asking Outlook for Mac 2011 Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
    For your convenience:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook?tab=Threads
    Sorry for the lack of knowledge on Mac. If there is safe mode in Mac, I suggest run Mac under the safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins for testing.
    If the syncing issue exists in OWA, I suggest collecting app logs for the further troubleshooting.
    Thanks

  • Resources and public folder database - migration from 2007 to 2013

    We migrated our resource mailboxes thru the move mailboxes in 2013 EAC but now we're at the point of decommissioning our 2007 servers.  Before the actual decommission we stopped all 2007 services and dismounted all 2007 databases.  Once we did
    this the resources would no longer work - errors pertaining to cannot directly book the resource.
    I had to bring up the public folder database for the moved resources to work again.  We do not use public folders any longer so we did not do any type of public folder migration.  Do I need to do this for the resources to work?

    Hi,
    Could you please tell me your Outlook version?
    I saw someone got the following error when he tried to book resource after migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, if Outlook version is Outlook 2007. But Outlook 2010 worked well.
    "Cannot directly book a resource for this meeting."
    Please switch between online and cached mode to check the result. And please check if this issue occurs in OWA.
    If possible, please use Outlook 2010 to check the result.
