Migrating from G4 PowerBook to i7 MBP: Use assistant?

Just received my new 17" i7 MBP and I'm planning to migrate from my old PowerBook this weekend. Would I be better off using Migration Assistant for everything, or just for some things, or not at all? I don't mind re-installing applications from scratch if that's the healthier way...

Jo,
Using MA would be fine however I would only use it for your data files. I don't recommend using it for migrating your applications, for those you should manually install each app which also give you the opportunity to update those that need it. There are many many threads about migrating from PPC machines to Intel based machines, you may want to look though some to see if you can pick up some valuable hints.

Roger

When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
These are the preferred network connections, in order:
Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

Migration from old Powerbook to new iMac

I have just bought a new Intel 20" iMac. I have moved Documents, Applications and Music from an old G4 Aluminium Powerbook (running Leopard) to the iMac but which ever way I do it, be it via Migration Assistant, Wireless or via Ethernet cable, the size of the Hard Disk on the iMac increases by double. I also now have the following very annoying things happening, such as tons of Alias' on my Hard drive, .DS_Store files absolutely everywhere and a Microsoft AU Deamon appearing everytime I restart the iMac.
Can anyone advice me on how to identify the space consuming files, how to get rid of them and how best to get my files, music, photos etc from the old Powerbook onto this iMac.
Kev Bate

Brody,
Thank you. You have saved me from going crazy as everyone (including the Techies at the Mac shop where I bought the iMac) were adamant how easy it was to migrate using Migration Assistant. So I was getting a complex that whenever I brought something across from the Powerbook that the hard drive on my iMac was doubling in size.
I took the iMac back to the Apple shop and they restored the disk back to the original settings. I am now transferring files using traditional & physical means such as external hard drives.

Migration from G4 Powerbook(partitioned) to new IMAC

I am tried to use Migration today, from G4 Titanium DVI Powerbook(partitioned) #1 MacTiger 10.4.11- 14GB, #2 OSX 9.9GB, #3 OS9 4GB to my new IMAC that I have had for a couple of weeks. When I had to enter the name info, it kept on telling me that I had to change the names as they were already existing. Began migration and it ran for 3 hours or more then stopped with 2 hours 58 minutes remaining on the clock. I let it go for over another hour. Nothing happening. Tried to cancel but 3 new icons were on my IMAC desktop. Rainbow wheel goes round and round etc. on IMAC. I then held down the power button on the G4 to power off. The 3 new icons on my IMAC desktop, I dragged them to the trash. I'm all in a sweat just writing this down. Who would like to hold my hand as I walk through the valley of the shadow........
Thanks for your reading, responding, succeeding. You guys always come through. Are PC people this fortunate?

I'm not sure what you are asking. Yes you can change the name of a user account, but it's a bit complicated. It would be easier to simply transfer the files as I've outlined rather than trying to use Migration Assistant which will attempt to transfer everything in the user account, which is ill-advised. There are PPC components in your old system that you do not want moved to the new computer. PPC components can gum up the works on an Intel system.
Migration Assistant is an excellent tool but it's not the right tool when you are migrating from a PPC Mac to an Intel one. See the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Migration from Crystal IX to BO-XI using java sdk-- very urgent

Post Author: Pranav.Sharma
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Need help in migration from Crystal Report IX to BO-XI.
Currently we are using CR IX and Java SDK to access reports from J2ee application. These reports reside on remote server where we have shared access to that directory.
We are accessing these reports through our j2ee application.Can anyone please elaborate whether we can use same SDK here with slight change in code probably in authentication related to CMS etc and calling mechanism or we have to go for BO java SDK alltogether. Is anything we are missing here?
Can anyone please help as we have to complete migration in 1-2 days.

The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
I hope this helps

Migrating from Eclipse/Ant/MyFaces Trinidad to using JDeveloper--need help

I recently downloaded JDeveloper 11.1.1.2.0. Several years ago, I used JDev to do some very simple JSP/servlet development with no formal framework. Times have changed a lot.
For the past few years, I have been developing server-side Java web apps using Eclipse JEE and Ant (ie, everything is set up so that the developer does not depend on the IDE). We currently implement web apps using Apache MyFaces Trinidad JSF components (but not Facelets). Any developer here can check out our code and simply run Ant to build the projects--no need to even have Eclipse installed. Anyone here can build and develop with a text editor and Ant, if they prefer.
I am impressed and yet overwhelmed by the robust functionality of the latest JDev--so impressive, but I feel almost a bit too removed from "seeing" what is going on in the code and deployment. I like the notion of drag-and-drop along with wizards, but I want to also know how the JDev project is set up manually; ie, where everything goes, without having to guess on this. I get the impression that I need to learn, very specifically, the framework of ADF. But unfortunately, the tutorials seem to focus on only using the wizards and drag-drop functionality.
For example, how do I set up JDev to build a project only by running Ant using my properties files and build.xml? This is trivial to do in Eclipse by specifying the Project Builder. Is there some similar setting I can use in JDev?
Is there full compatibility with Trinidad--didn't Oracle make the original Trinidad?
Has anyone posted advice on migrating from Eclipse JEE to JDev?
Sorry if this is an old set of questions; if I had known where to search for this information, I would not be posting this thread.
Many thanks!
Mike Quentel

The basic steps for bringing your existing code into JDeveloper are:
Import->WAR File - or alternatively create a new application and in it create a new projects->project from existing source
The next couple of steps have to do with setting the project properties:
Then you need to set up your project content path (specifically things like Web content and resources content)
Then you need to add the jars/libraries in your project classpath and libraries.
A few related link:

http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2009/02/using_trinidad_in_jdeveloper_1.html - Using trinidad in JDeveloper
Also don't forget that you can now set your JDeveloper accelerators to be based on Eclipse key mapping - might make the migration easier.

Migrate from G4 Powerbook to Intel Mini

Greetings folks !
My trusty old PB died and I will take delivery of my new Mac Mini as replacement tomorrow.
I have a current TM backup as well as a CCC clone at my disposal. What would be the most promising procedure to migrate my data and settings etc.
I don't care too much about apps as I consider it part of the fun, setting up a new Mac, to install apps one-by-one on a new machine.
Important to me are my network settings, keychain, iTunes & documents folders, iPhoto content.
Any input/recommendations/tips will be thankfully received ...

baltwo wrote:
Personally, I'd also migrate the apps and sort out the incompatibilities later.
Well, I migrated everything but apps from a TC backup . Since I migrated from PPC, I though it best to leave the apps out.
Anyways, the migration went well and when I reinstalled my apps, all registrations/serials were still "present" (because I migrated all other docs/files).
There are apps that are specific for OS's (such as Cocktail) so it seemed to me the wisest route
So, I'm up and running and one happy Teddy - a perfect migration thanks to the ingenuity of the Apple engineers ...

How do I get good audio feed from DVD player to my MBP using an optic cable

I have successfully recorded audio off of concert DVD's using Sound Studio 3 by connecting my DVD player to my MBP using left/right outputs to a 35mm input. I purchased an optical cable, connected it to my DVD player and used a 35mm adapter to connnect it to my MBP input. All I get is a weird popping interferance type sound instead of clear audio. Any tips on what is going on? I have correct settings in system preferences (recognizes an optical connection) but all I hear is noise?
Thanks for any help!

Migrating from G4 Powerbook to Mac Pro

Hi all-
I just purchased a Mac Pro online. I'm going to use it to replace my G4 Powerbook which has just become too slow for the video editing and color correction processes I'm trying to use it for.
So... when I run setup assistant and bring all my software over to the new machine, is there a way to bring across all the serial number and license files as well or am I going to have to re-enter all my serial numbers and such?
I've got a LOT of software and plugins with such things and it's going to take a while to re-enter everything. I'm just trying to make the process as painless as possible.
Powerbook G4, 15 to Intel Xeon 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Please keep in mind that any software you have that is PPC coded should first be replaced with universal binary versions. Although you can transfer preference files and PPC applications, the applications will not run as fast under the Rosetta emulation as their universal binary versions which are coded for Intel.
You should take care about what you migrate because there are important differences between the PPC and Intel Macs that make simple migration a potential disaster:

Migrate From MS Access 2003 to Oracle using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0

Hello All,
I am trying to migrate Access DB .mdb using the Oracle SQL Dev 3.0 Data Migration Wizard, everything go very nice and smooth until the Capture Step, for sure am using the online mode, in the Capture Step the list of available databases is empty and a Msg Box saying that the DB list should have at leats one database selected, so I don't know what's that mean or how to fix this.
in my .mdb file I have four tables and I can copy the data to Oracle using the Right click and copy to Oracle Function, but it really takes much time.
Any help would be really appreciated and thanks in advance.
yours,
Hussein

Just to clarify:
You have created the migration repository and start the migration using Tools => Migration => Migrate
- now you've selected the repositiry
- specified a project
- selected the source database
=> you've choosen the ONLINE Mode
==>> and now you don't see your MS Access database in the "Connection" List
Is this correct?
If the steps you're doing match the steps I've posted above, then please be aware for MS Access migrations you need to choose the OFFLINE method. The MS Access source database information is collected by the MS Access Exporter available from Tools => Migration => MS Access Exporter
Once you've created the XML/OCP file you specify this newly created file during the OFFLINE migration mode.
If your steps differ from mine, please post yours more detailed.
Thx.

Portable Home Directories - Migrating from a PowerBook to MacBook Pro

On my Powerbook, I'm using one account as PHD. Now, I bought a new MacBook Pro and at the initial setup, I transferred all data from the old Powerbook to the new MacBook Pro, including accounts.
When I now login the first time to the Mac OS X Server from the new Mac with the PHD account, do I have to take care of anything in particular? Does the sync work as usual?
Thanks for your promt help!
Thomas
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark here:
When you logged on to the new Macbook Pro, was it on an account that you set up locally on that machine? One perhaps with the same user short name as your Server account?
The way this works is, when you enter a username in the login panel, the Mac OS client looks into it's own local machine database (Netinfo) to find out if that client exists. If not, it checks the servers it's bound to in the "Authentication" tab of Directory Access and checks there.
So if your old Powerbook was using an account named "kirk", which is exists on your server and synced as a Portable Home Directory, and then you created a new account on your new Macbook named "kirk", your Macbook's OS won't even look on the server because it found a "kirk" locally.
If this is what happened, just do this: create a new administrator account on your MacBook, log into it, and delete your fresh new Macbook "kirk" user. Log out. At the login window, select "Other" and use your server "kirk" login. Now you'll get the option to copy your server-based home directory as a PHD.

DB Upgrade+Migrate from 10.1 to 11.2 using IMPDP with network_link param

Dear all,
I would like to upgrade and migrate my 10.1.0.5 DB on old server to 11.2.0.2 on new server.
Here is the background info:
Old server:
OS : Redhat Linux AS 2.1
DB Version : 10.1.0.5 (32 bit)
No RAC
New Server:
OS : OEL 5.5
DB Version : 11.2.0.2
RAC
ASM
What I have done so far:
1. Create new clustered 11Gr2 DB on new server.
2. Pre-create tablespaces on new DB.
3. Migrate 10.1.0.5 to 11.2.0.2 using IMPDP.
impdp system/******* DIRECTORY=dump_file_dir NETWORK_LINK=DWH_DBLINK LOGFILE=log_file_dir:DWH_import_20110621.log FULL=Y SERVICE_NAME=dwhdb.xxx.xxx TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=replace cluster=N exclude=statistics
4. After IMPDP complete, invalid objects and components are found, run utlrp.sql no help
SQL> select owner, count(*) from dba_objects where status = 'INVALID' group by owner;
OWNER COUNT(*)
WKSYS 16
PUBLIC 12
OLAPSYS 7

OLAP Analytic Workspace VALID 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle OLAP API VALID 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Real Application Clusters VALID 11.2.0.2.0
19 rows selected.
5. Check SYS's invalid objects, e.g. DBA_OUTLINE_HINTS, after tracing the reason, find outln.ol$hints is replaced by 10.1.0.5 version. I think it is due to the IMPDP's "TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=replace" parameter.
Others invalid objects like WMSYS.WM$ENV_VARS, also replaced by old version.
What should I do now?
Do I need to run upgrade script after DB migration using IMPDP?
Is the migration procedure correct?
Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It looks like you've messed up the Non User (Oracle default user) data and/or metadata i.e sys, system, wksys.
How many non Oracle default user do you have? and how big is the database? If you're using this method I'm assuming the data is not really big.
I personally will not do full export/ import across different version, its better to just export the non default Oracle user schema as you might ended up messed up the sys objects, etc
What you might do is
- drop the 11g database and start from beginning again but exclude Oracle default user e.g sys,system, etc
- or try run catupgrd.sql script (this will drop and recreate the objects), -this may or may not be fixing your invalid components
Cheers

Migrating from 6.1 to 8.1 using Compatibility Security

We are trying to migrate a webogic 6.1 domain
to weblogic 8.1 SP2. Followed all the steps
to use compatibility security since wls 6.1
domain had a RDBMS realm and we would like
to initially maintain all the security users
and permissions.
The problem is weblogic 8.1 has a userid
of "bea" when it was setup. The old weblogic
6.1 had a userid of "system" and it somehow
seems to remember that.
When wls61 domain is migrated with all the
config.xml changes, the security realm does
not come up in wls81 because it says "bea"
user is not authenticated for the security realm.
Is there a way to bring the compatibility
security realm with the new "bea" user ?
The old wls61 bea domain did not have the
boot.properties with encrypted userid and password.
Say I do not know the old user's password, is there
a way to bring up the security realm in compatibility
security mode ??

Migrating from non-loggin Informix to Oracle (use of transactions)

I wonder what happens when I migrate an Informix non-logging database to Oracle. Since my database doesn't use transaction (that's to say: a single DML sentence define a transaction and ttransactions using begin/commit/rolback trans are not used), applications are written with no transaction philosophy. But Oracle is ANSI-compliant and then when I execute a DML sentence, a transaction begin and it'll finish until I send commit or logout. Then, even when migration is ok, my applications will create very large transactions.

Hi Oscar,
Without actually viewing the Client application code, I can only make general assumptions..
You will have to change the client code anyway in order for it to work with Oracle e.g. Informix E/SQL -> Oracle Pro*C. The E/SQL Client code will have to be updated to reflect various changes in the DB environment; for example:
1. The use of REF CURSORS (passing them back to the client code)
2. Changes to the hardcoded Informix SQL statements to make them Oracle friendly (especially OUTER joins if you migrating to Oracle 8i)
3. Altering any E/SQL code that dynamically builds SQL statements (to make sure these SQL statements are syntactically correct in the Oracle model).
4. DB Connection methodologies.
5. Changing Informix #include files to reference equivalent Oracle #includes
6. Differences in date structs and how E/SQL and Pro*C handle dates (Oracle did not support milliseconds until 9i)
7. Exception handling.
8. Datatype changes between Informix and Oracle.
Again, there is no simple solution. A migration project that migrated the DB and Applications 'in tandem' would make it easier to remove logic from the client code and place it in the server (always a good thing) but this may not be feasable in your case.
