Migrating from late 2009 Mini to new 2012

I have tried all methods of migrating but the computer doesn't connect to the other computer.
I have done 800 Firewire computer to computer by restarting and holding T but all I get is the Firewird logo bouncing around the screen but I have no access.
I have done ethernet to ethernet between the two computers but it just spins and I have connected both computers to the router but it still spins.
How can I get the older HD with all its settings on the new MINI?
Thanx

Hello, just checking, is the older one the one in Target Mode?
Any other drives connected to either?
Does the older Mac in t mode show up in Finder or Disk Utility on the newer one?

Best way to transfer from late 2009 iMac to new iMac

I have a new iMac, and want to transfer 750MB of data from my late 2009 iMac when I set it up. It seems like the options are:
Not Thunderbolt <-> Thunderbolt, since the late 2009 iMac has a MiniDP port, not a Thunderbolt port.
FireWire 800 <-> Thunderbolt using my Apple FW/TB adapter. Should give 800Mbps?
Direct Ethernet connection (just a cable, no router). Does this work? Should give 1000Mbps?
Ethernet through my new Time Capsule. Lets me access the internet during setup. How much speed loss compared to direct connection?
Any thoughts or suggestions about the best choice?
Thanks.

What is the best way to migrate settings/apps/files from late 2008 MBP to new 2012 MBA?

I have the 2008 MBP backed up via TM to an external HD that is FW800, but is USB 2.0 capable. I was hoping the TB/FW adapter would come out from Apple soon, and maybe it will. Bottom line, my new MBA arrives next week, and I'm not sure when the TB/FW adapter will hit the stores. Can I use USB 2.0 to link the HD to my new MBA or will it be too slow to conduct the migration? I have about 110GB on the MBP HD and the new MBA is the i7/8G/256GB model. so no worries there.

The firewire adapter is due for release in "July" according to the specs. You can make due with your TM backup on USB 2.0. It's slower than firewire but should complete within 2 hours.

Migrating From BizTalk 2009 To Biztalk server 2013

Hi All,
My current solution is on BizTalk 2009 and my client is thinking of migrating to BizTalk 2013 . Please suggest me is it a good idea to migrate to BizTalk 2013.
Please provide me a difference between 2009 to 2013
Difference between 2009 to 2013 and main features.
Thanks and Regards

Hi Dhanavel,
Why don’t you think about migrating to BizTalk 2013 R2 which is available now. Anyway
First and foremost thing, BizTalk Server 2009’s mainstream support from Microsoft has ended on 08-July-2014. After mainstream support, customer will get extended support until
09-July-2019. So you're are in extended support phase now. Find out the following blogpost where you will know more about what you can get and what you’re going to miss from Microsoft support for BizTalk Server 2009. And also about what you have to do next.
Why you have to migrate to the latest version.
BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends.What to do next?
Apart from losing the benefits of mainstream support against the extended support and apart from getting the benefits of latest offering/features of the newer version of the
product, BizTalk server 2009 is closely dependent on its underlying platforms like Windows Server 2008 (or Window server 2003/Windows XP-SP3/Windows Visa SP1), SQL Server 2008 (or SQL Server 2005 SP2) and Visual Studio 2008. So its high time to migrate.
BizTalk Server 2009 mainstream support ends. What to do next?
Some of the benefits of migrating from BizTalk 2009 to BizTalk 2013.
Platform upgrades:
BizTalk 2013 uses following, so when you upgrade from BizTalk 2009 to 2013, you will get the benefits by upgrading your platforms.
Windows Server 2012 (BizTalk 2009 uses Windows Server 2009)
Visual Studio 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses Visual Studio2008)
.NET Framework 4.5 (BizTalk 2009 uses .NET 3.5)
SQL Server 2012(BizTalk 2009 uses SQL 2008)
Virtualization support for Hyper-V (this feature is available from BizTalk 2010 onwards)
Some of the other benefits include
Better support to could
Azure Service Bus. And support for
BizTalk Server running on Azure IaaS
BizTalk Server 2013 Support for RESTful Services
More support towards WCF-based adpaters.
Secure FTP with new FTPS Adapter and an improved FTP Adapter
Out-of-box support to SFTP Adapter
Enhancements to the IBM Hosts Systems adapters
Update to BizTalk mapper
Updated Trading Partner Management (TPM) Capabilities.
Updates to industry schemas like HIPPA, HL7, SWIFT and SWIFTNet
Seamless ability to leverage BizTalk capabilities from SharePoint 2010 Business Connectivity Service to Line-of-Business systems

Migration from CA service desk to SCSM 2012 r2

Does any one have experience with migrating from CA Service Desk to SCSM 2012 R2?
How did you accomplish the migration

This is a common misconception about IT Service desk software, and a common reason that most helpdesk and service desk implementation fail miserably; that this something that you can just swap in and out like an email system. A service desk system isn't
just a file sharing site that you can forklift your data from and move on like before. Your service desk software is an
ERP for IT. Your Service Desk software is somewhere between a model of your IT department and a 5th column manager for your IT staff.
The typical methodology for doing this type of migration is to construct a straw model of your IT department, specifically your service book and work groups, and review your service book and incident handling procedures. once we have a solid understanding
of how your department actually runs at a conceptual and work item level, we can build a model of those work flows into service manager.
At that point, once we have a functional model of your department constructed in service manager, then we can start moving config item data. For 8 out of 10 implementations, this is better accomplished using a fresh discovery of config items from original
sources, which can then be reused to create an update methodology.
Provance's DMP (and to a lesser extent, the out of the box connectors, like the CSV connector) is a great tool for this, since it lets you build import templates that can be periodically run to update new data like purchases
for work items, a Knife edge cutover day is the simplest conversion, but certainly not the only option, that is, you decide January 15th is the day that the new system is available, and all work items go into the old system until January 14th,
and the old system will be locked for new requests on the 15th. any work in the old system is worked and closed using the usual process (even after the 15th) until the old system fades into obsolescence over the next 30 or 60 days.
You might notice that for medium enterprises (5,000 employees or so), this process typically takes several weeks of prep, and a couple of months of implementation, and it scales fairly linearly based on the size of your IT department. small departments
(somewhere below 20 analysts) can be done in a month or so, and very large IT groups, this can take a year or more.

Can I migrate from PowerBook g4 to a new MacBook Air

I have a non intel PowerBook g4 Can I migrate from PowerBook g4 to a new MacBook Air

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
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:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. 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, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius 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.

6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
      or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. 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.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
      Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
      wireless 802.11n networks.
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.

Late 2009 mini video problem

Late 2009 mini, C2D 2.53, Mavericks, 8G RAM, 1TB SSD
The right hand side one-third of my screen looks as pictured. It's flickering, as if scan lines are moving side-to-side. This is a new problem. The mini has been working with this monitor for a year or so.
A PS3 connected to the same monitor doesn't do this. The mini is connected through the display port, while the PS3 is connected via hdmi-to-DVI.
I tried powering off and unplugging for a while. Didn't work. My Northbridge is running at 79C while I'm running firefox and a backup, which seems high but I don't know what's normal for this machine. The fan is running. The machine was open for memory/SSD installation just a few months ago, and there wasn't a lot of dust then even after four years of operation so I'm inclined to believe it's not a dust buildup now.
If this were a PC I'd change the video card and call it a day.
Does this look like I'll be getting a new mac? This is a very poor time to have a mini die, as the current offering is two years old.

I found my miniDVI-to-DVI adapter and that's working fine. I don't want to buy another display port cable just to find out if that's the problem, since I have the display working now.

HT4413 When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, only some files and applications and setting are transferred, not all of them. In my latest back up I have them all. How can I fix that?

When migrating from time machine to a new hard drive, not all is transferd, only partial documents, applications , settings etc. How can I migrate the latest back-up with all the content.

If you want to use Time Machine to recover the contents of one of its a backups to a new drive, follow the instructions in Mac OS X 10.6: Recovering your entire system. Note that you must select the "Restore System From Backup" option from the Utilities menu of the Installer disc to do this.
Also note that if you are transferring files to a hard drive to be used with a different computer, you should use Migration Assistant instead. This intentionally will not copy everything because some settings, applications, etc. are not compatible computer-to-computer. Migration Assistant will copy everything that is.

HT201250 When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, it migrates the first back-up I made several years ago. How can I migrate the latest back-up ?

When migrating from time machine to my new hard drive, it migrates the first back-up I made several years ago. How can I migrate the latest back-up ? I need time machine to migrate the latest back-up. Should I delete the older back-ups ?

As noondaywitch says, it should use the latest backup.
Where are your backups (external HD, Time Capsule, etc.)?
It sounds like there are two separate sets, and you're not connected to the right set.

What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

What is the best and reasonably priced external cd/dvd optical drive for an Imac 21.5 inches from late 2009?

A lot of people have a Mac where the superdrive has been taken out to be replaced with a harddisk. Try to find a friend who has done that, give him a beer and take the superdrive, then buy a superdrive container from OWC or another for afew dollars and put it in there. This slimdrive container has a USB connector. There you go.

PC (Windows) died - can I transfer tunes from I-pod mini to new PC?

Checked FAQs etc to see if possible to transfer tunes from I-pod mini to new Windows XP PC but can't see anything useful. Old PC crashed and I-tunes went with it, no chance of retrieving Library. Can it be done?
TIA

I pod mini Windows XP

Before you try 3rd party software, try this.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), then the Yamipod program previously mentioned is good, and it's free.

I have a hdd from late 2009 that I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion. I want to upgrade the hdd to ssd. Do I need to buy a new copy of mountain lion to install on the ssd? If not, then what is the procedure to transfer?

I have a hdd from a late 2009 mbp. I upgraded from leopard to snow leopard to lion to mountain lion. Now I want to upgrade to a ssd. Do I need to purchase a new copy of mountain lion to go on my new ssd? If I don't, then what is the procedure to transfer mountain lion with my 4 user accounts onto the new ssd from the hdd?
I'm confused on if I can use the recovery hd on a thumb drive to install mountain lion on my ssd. Will it be pheasible with so many OS X upgrades? And then how do I get my user accounts onto the ssd from the hdd. Do I use migration assistant? Do I need to make a time machine backup first? Should I use something called Carbon Clone or something like that?
Thanks for reading

If you have a cable that connects and external HDD to the MBP, it will do. If it is something like this, an enclosure will not be needed for the swap:
An enclosure allows you to use your old HDD for storage or backup purposes. The cable will not.
Here are instructions as to how the swap can be performed using DISK UTITY. Substitute You cable for the enclosure in same:
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them.
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.
If there is any confusion on your part, post back.
Ciao.

How can I stop a migration from ext. HD to new HD on a MacBook? It hangs up @ 3 min. Left each time.

I am trying to add a Ned HD. In my MacBook '08 unibody? It has been installedand formattd. When migrating from old hard drive to Mac, it stops with 3 min. remaining. Tried 3 times. Same results. What can I do?

If you want the sound to only play once when the key is pressed then you don't want to have it in the ENTER_FRAME event handler like you have it. It is starting new sounds at the frame rate of your file the way you have it now.
Try having an event listener dedicated to a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event where you detect when the UP key gets pressed and use that to trigger playing the sound.

DFS New Setup migrating from 2003 R2 file server to 2012 Server STD

We currently have a 2003 R2 flat file server with multiple layers of nested network shares with over 2.5TB of data. We want to migrate to DFS on 2012 Server standard version with deduplication enabled. We have never worked with DFS and deduplication and
any white paper on DFS and deduplication would be greatly appreciated. Not finding anything on DFS step by step for 2012 and in particular migrating from 2003 file share to 2012 server DFS.

Thank you for the URL to your DFS write up. This was very helpful in my research of DFS. I have a couple of questions. Do I have to start DFS with two servers? I completely understand why you should have more than one server in the DFS pool (high
availability) but is it necessary? Also after setting up the two 2012 Servers with DFS, namespaces, and new shares managed by DFS manager, how do we migrate (move or copy) the existing shares to new server without losing the permissions? From what I've read
in your write-up all end users with have read and write permissions and admins have full. Also is there a best practice on how nested the shares should be setup within DFS? From looking at your write up the shares are one folder deep only. At this
company I'm migrating from a file server with shares 3-8 layers deep build up over the last 20 years.
