Migrating system/apps to new SSD?

As above, I just bought a new 240GB SSD drive and I would like to migrate my system from the existing HD in the Mac Pro to the new SSD and boot from that SSD. The HD will then become a simple data drive. How can I do this with the least hassle?
Regards
Steve

Are you in the habit of cloning your system already?
Carbon Copy Cloner can move the Lion Recovery Partition.
Also selective choose the folders to skip ~ your media folders in your home account
For how to keep home folder on another drive
http://chris.pirillo.com/how-to-move-the-home-folder-in-os-x-and-why/
though keep home folder is fine and just direct your apps where to find their folders.
Also, a clean install and Setup Assistant also works.
I assume you don't want all your data to be on SSD, just the small 1GB in
~/Library
which would benefit from staying with the OS.

No matter what keep a disk image of your OS, keep a bootable hard drive of the system on standard hard drive. And keep your current setup as backup. Use another hard drive for simple data instead.

Migrating iLife apps from new iMac to G5 machine with Leopard

I bought the iMac which came with iLife and then built up a dual proc G5 to do music and video on. I don't want to have to buy a copy of iLife since I already have it but really want Garage Band, Movie Maker and iDVD on the G5. I started to migrate these with Migration Assistant but it didn't give me an option to choose just those apps. Is there a problem with me migrating all apps and then just deleting the ones I don't need on the G5? I assumed this would move the licenses for the apps from the iMac to the G5. Can someone confirm if the Migration effectively uninstalls the app on the machine it's being migrated from?
I'm not interested in making a copy of these three apps and am happy to delete them from iMac once moved over but it's not clear to me that this will work (even thought guys as the Apple store said I could do it).
Thanks

The short answer is probably no.
I have 2 imacs both Intel.
I was having a problem with iLife apps on my older imac and so I dumped the iLife apps to reinstall them.
I inserted the install disk for my newer imac and it refused to allow me to install from that disk.
I used Pacifist and it worked for all apps except iPhoto which would not work properly even after several attempts.
I located my iLife 08 disk and it installed fine.
Despite the fact that most of the iLife apps seemed to install using Pacifist, they were suspect so I installed them all afresh from the ILife 08 disk.
The last thing I need is a program that may screw up and lose some of my photos, movies or compositions, especially when the package is reasonably priced.

Migrate OSX/apps to new HD

I have a stock mac pro with the stock 7200 250 gig drive
I just recently purchased a 10k raptor 76gig drive with the intent of putting my osx install and all my applications on it. Then using my 250 gig stock as a scratch disc and an general file server.
My questions is if there is a safe way or "correct way" to move my osx install to a different internal drive and then ask it to boot from that drive.
Any help would be incredibly appreciated!

Use the Restore option of Disk Utility to clone the system to the new drive.
Prep the drive first:
1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
Next, clone the startup volume:1. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
2. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
3. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
4. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
5. Check the box to Erase Destination.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
To set the new drive as your permanent startup drive open the Startup Disk preference in System Preferences. Select the system on the new drive, then click on the Restart button.

X120e - Automatic win7 startup under Administrator after system recovery to new SSD

Hello,
I recently bought my x120e with 64bit win7 home premium. I also bought an SSD (agility 2). After using recovery disks to 'restore' a 'factory install' to the new ssd, win7 works fine generally. Only problem is the win7 login and user account controls.
First of all, it is not a factory restore. there was no lenovo software on board to speak of. It did not act like a 1st time run of win7 either, where one is usually prompted to create a user account and password. I'm instead logged in as Administrator automatically with no password. To force the login/password at startup, I assigned a password to the administrator account, then created new accounts for my wife and I with administrator privileges and passwords. On restart, I get a message that the password is invalid. Win7 is still autologging in under Administrator, but now it stops because whatever it thinks the password is, is wrong because I changed it. If I say 'switch user' to use one of the newly created accounts, they are not visible at all on the logon screen. Just 'Administrator' and a blank user, no pic, no name.
So....: Firstly, how do I stop win7 from trying to log on automatically? (and why is it doing this?) Secondly, why are my new user accounts not visible at startup, but visible in user account settings within windows?
I'm using recovery media mailed to me by Lenovo today because the recovery partition that came with the machine was not working on arrival. Its nice in principal, but it if never works the way it should...
Thanks

Hi,
I recommend you to remove the HDD to check if you can startup Windows 7 from SSD.
If you cannot, please attempt to repair startup using Bootrec.exe command.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
If you can startup correctly, please check boot sequence of disks from bios and make sure SSD is the first boot sequence.

Time machine migration when apps on new computer are later versions

I have a time machine backup of my old macbook, just got a new one and it comes with iLife 11 preinstalled. I don't want these apps to be overwritten with my older (iLife 09) apps.
Should I rename them first, or delete the older apps off of time machine or is there any other way to make sure I don't get these overwritten.
(I imagine the iLife apps must be on the install disk in case I do have to reinstall iLife 11), but I don't have that currently, it was all installed at the university - hence I just want to know the quickest way to do this
Thanks!

Pete Thomas wrote:
My problem was that I asked a specific question and was directed to an FAQ that was a different, much more general question:
Take a look at your first post -- there's no mention there that you'd done any research at all, or whether you'd already started up the new Mac. And it ends: "I just want to know the quickest way to do this."
"How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups?" - not what I asked. FAQ 19 is mostly about how to use set up assistant which I already know and is irrelevant in this case as the installation had already taken place and therefore I cannot access Set Up assistant
You didn't mention any of that.
so the FAQ was telling me to reinstall or create a temporary account, time consuming and not very helpful when all I needed to be told was "you can run migration assistant and it will be fine", which was the very helpful and speedy advice I got elsewhere.
Again, that was far from clear in your first post. And the next sentence starts "After your Mac is up and running, you can use the similar Migration Assistant ..." with a link to that page. Many, many people start up their new Mac, skip +Setup Assistant,+ and create a new user account, and use it for a while. Then they run Migration Assistant and wonder where all their data is, and once they find the migrated account, want to consolidate the two. We see those roughly once a day.
After reading all the way to the bottom, there is a sort of answer to my question:
"Note that Setup Assistant is smart enough not to replace newer Apple apps that came with the new Mac with older versions from the old Mac or backups."
But then a caveat that confuses the whole issue for me:
"In some cases, there may be a few exceptions:" followed by lots of links to follow.
Should I have just ignored the fact that some apps aren't compatible with Snow Leopard? Or that in some cases you may have to re-enter serial numbers?
It would have saved us a lot of time, if you know the direct answer to the very specific question to say what the answer is rather than "read the FAQs". I'd already done a search to see if my question was frequently asked, and it wasn't.
Again, had you indicated that . . .

Migrate/cone Apps to new h/w, same o/s

We need to migrate/clone our production Apps 11.5.10 to a new server (different hardware but same OS Red Hat 3.0). Please let me know the following:
What should we watch out for on the OS. Should we make sure to have exact same kernel & glibc versions? What else should we do while preparing the server/os before cloning Apps & database?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Yes...you are on the right track. Try to duplicate your original box the best you can. I would suggest using Rapid clone to migrate your env. to the new box.

Migrate / Move Data to new SSD

I have a proloaded X200
i've bought an SSD that i want to use instead of the 5400rpm
is it possible to move all data onto the SSD, including the Lenovo preloaded partitions ?
i've tried before with Norton Ghost, creating the partitions by hand, with no success...
* need answer fast ! *
Thanks

simply get an enclosure and it comes with a setup CD, just follow the CD and you will be done in no more than 2 Hours (maybe longer, depending on how much data you have)

Clean Install of Mavericks on new SSD - Final Question

I am looking for some help installing a new SSD into my mid-2010 Macbook Pro. I have the 15 inch with i5 and 4GB of RAM. last week I upgraded to 8GB of RAM, purchased from Crucial, and am about to install a MX100 512GB SSD also purchased from Crucial. I have read about the issues with third party drives in Yosemite and because of this I will keep Mavericks until I learn more.
My goal has been to get the new SSD into the computer and treat it like a brand new computer completely clean. This I learned was considered a "Clean InstalI". I am not very good with computers and sometimes the discussions I've read on the internet can generalize things and not define each step like a complete novice like me would need. So I have done a lot of research and below have a step by step guide on how I intend to do a clean install of the operating system onto my new SSD. I am looking for validation that this is correct or any steps I need to adjust.
I had asked a question about 2 months ago that lead me into the direction of doing the clean install. Drew helped out quite a bit and got me started on researching what I need to do for this clean install. There were some comments I had a question with. His notes are in italics and my questions are in bold.
During install use Setup Assistant (it's basically the same as Migration Assistant).
Connect the old HD (Can I connect to my external HD that backed up my old HD via Time Machine?) & choose the option to migrate the User account (leave the applications & other data disabled). (what happens if I opt to not do this step, not migrating User account information, what would be the Pros / Cons... another basic question I guess would be what exactly is in these User Accounts... anything that if I did not migrate over would give me issues?)
When completed you will have the same user on the new disk.
The Applications are left on the old disk, it's better to reinstall them in my opinion.
now on to by guide I compiled...
My Step by Step guide that if confirmed on here I will move forward with! Very excited and hope I got this correct.

Your link makes very interesting reading. One thing that jumps out is how an old HD's installation and Time Machine are equated. Time Machine is a remarkable system, simple on the outside and complex under the hood (this is the fundamental resource on the subject, created by a Community member who is sorely missed). But it doesn't play well with certain types of files (virtual machine files for running Windows, etc., on a Mac for example) and has, in my experience at least, lost some files after briefly saving them. Your old HD, on the other hand, is both complete and current, making it a better source IMHO to migrate from.
The point about older software no longer being compatible is well taken, but I tend to keep older versions long after newer versions appear and I've been surprised at how well they continue to function after the publisher insists they're no longer supported by a newer OS (and are sometimes better than what replaces them). And in the case of commercial software, associated files are often sprinkled far and wide, perhaps to prevent easy pirating. Moreover, while keeping track of serial numbers is always a good idea, many publishers limit the number of installations and entering the S/N over again usually involves the program phoning home to check on the installation count so far. Cloning avoids that more effectively than migrating.

How to move the OS from main drive to new ssd in opticals place

Ok I just took out the dvd player that was non operational for 2 years . Replaced it with a new 250Gig SSD. Now I would like to boot my mac off this drive instead of the almost full 500 gig hdd. Can this be done ? If so how do I do this ? Get the OS(yosemite) from the main drive (hdd) to the new drive (ssd) which is suppose to be a lot faster on boot than a hdd , correct or not? Please advise if this is possible and if so how to migrate the OS to the ssd...
Thanks in advance.
Oh and forgot to ask now that i am using the Yosemite OS can I upgrade my
mid 2009-2010 MBP 13 inch

again any assistance is appreciated.

You could probably use a clone utility to copy a bootable system to the new SSD,
but not sure if you shouldn't use Carbon Copy Cloner (said to be able to copy
the Recovery partition content, too?) instead of SuperDuper. The extra feature is
worth checking into, to see if either or both can do this. Also to see if you have to
pay to get the fully working version.
With the content initially installed into the original HDD, moved over (copy/clone)
into the SSD, then you can test it to see if it would work to run the computer. But
you would need to have that additional partition that allows you to boot Recovery
to use the OS X Utilities and also be able to restore a system via internet, etc.
About the RAM upgrade. The model(s) you say you have, a Mid 2009-2010, are
two different ones. The Mid-2009 cannot be upgraded to 16GB RAM, while the
Mid-2010 model can use two 8GB RAM chips for 16GB upgrade. So, if you can
correctly identify the computer you have, then the answer may be found. OR,
you could go to crucial.com site and let it load the simple item so it can tell you
what the upgrade RAM should be, and match your computer to their RAM part.
Of course, their part uses an industry standard for Mac, of high quality; another
source of quality RAM would be from OWC macsales.com.
Both of these different questions have an answer, but will require some tedium
to get the correct information, method, and hopefully a workable resolution...
Good luck & happy computing!

Moving OS from old hard drive to a new SSD

Hi
I have an early 2009 macpro running OS X 10.7.5 with 6GB RAM and two original hard drives (640GB and 1TB). As the system is starting to run a little slow I have just ordered an upgrade for the RAM and have also ordered a new SSD hard drive.
My question is around moving the operating system to the new SSD. I am assuming that the system will boot up and run much quicker if I do.
Whilst it is easy for me to transfer files over from one drive to another, how do I do this with all of the operating system and applications.
Thanks in advance.

CCC allows you to de-select user media sub-folders of your home user account.
SSD - 50% full is a good ballpark, even more free space if it will be used for any kind of cached scratch (adobe)
all your media and data files and libraries should not be on the boot drive even now
SSD: 250GB $139 / 500GB $249 - Samsung EVO (I would skip the 128GB $82 model with those prices)
Install TRIM Enabler no matter what make of SSD before you clone!
Use the old boot drive for backup / safety net.
Never used CCC or SD? might want to practice and try it out first just to get the feel - test and do a trial run, cloning should be a req'd backup strategy.
Yes more RAM is a good idea, 24GB or more if you do any kind of graphics.
The 4-core can be upgraded to 3.2GHz or a 6-core 3.33 - and upgrade firmwaere to a 5,1
With Mavericks or Mountain Lion you have more graphic card options too.
And there are PCIe SSD cards that while not necessary for the sytem, can make a deal of difference for scratch / graphic libraries / editing.

Migrating system to 4k-sector HDD

My original 512-bytes sector hard disk couldn't pass SMART test, so I decided to change it. Have bought a new one 2tb HDD. But then I found out that there is a problem cloning partitions to my new disk, because it has 4k sector size. Is there a way to migrate system to the new disk? If yes could you explain please what I should do? I am not really experianced in this matter.

It is unlikely that you will be able to use your HP Recovery Media with an Advanced Format (AF) hard drive. From your HP Pavilion Slimline s5380sc Desktop PC support page;
HP System Recovery error message in Windows 7: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run in this computer hardware"
If you replaced a standard hard drive that is not an advanced format drive with an Advanced Format drive, System Recovery might not recognize the drive or partition, depending on the type and size of AF hard drive and when recovery discs were created (prior to Fall 2010). The following message appears:
Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run in this computer Hardware
When this happens, changing the SATA Mode setting (AHCI, IDE, RAID) in BIOS setup to an alternate setting might work. See one of the following documents for information about changing BIOS settings.
For information about BIOS setup and utility options for desktop computers, see HP support document, BIOS Setup Utility Information and Menu Options .
For information about BIOS setup and utility options for notebook computers, see HP support document, BIOS Setup Information and Menu Options .
If problems persist, it might be necessary to remove the AF drive as the main drive and replace with a standard hard drive using 512B-sectors (instead of AF 4KB sectors).
Alternatively, if you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to the bottom the computer, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25 digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. Please note that this installation will not have any of the HP customizations or HP value-added that was original installed on your computer. Also note that you will need to download and install most of the drivers from the HP Pavilion Slimline s5380sc Desktop PC Drivers page.

Best way to put system and apps (home directory?) on new SSD?

I just installed a new 115 GB SSD in slot 2 of my MacPro (early 2008). I have not initialized yet. I want to make that my Boot Drive. I have Carbon Cloner and have cloned my entire old HD onto an external so far. What is the best way to get my system and apps onto the SSD. I'm guessing Carbon Cloner will let me clone parts of my HD and not make me clone all of it but I don't yet know how to do that. Do I just clone my apps folder and then my system folder one at a time? What do I do with the Library? I cannot clone my entire HD onto the SSD first because it will not fit and I do not want my data on there anyway. I have read that I should also put my home directory on the boot but this is now confusing me. I plan on partioning the erased HD into fast and slow, then putting my User folder from the external back on there. I am the only one using the computer so I do not have issues with Users and all my apps are in the main hard drive app folder but I have noticed that I have things in both my Library folders (main HD and my home). Should I put all items in one of them, main or home? before I do this? I never understood why I have items in both folders since I am the only user and all the apps are on main. Thanks.

2 new SSDs, how to move apps / system / library to the small one which is currently blank and unused

I have an old (4 year old) macbook pro, I have just installed 2 new SSD HDs in it. One is a 500gb and the other is a 120gb.
I used time machine to copy everything onto from my previous 500gb HD to the new 500gb SSD and that all works fine, but to get the full speed benefits of the 2 SSDs ive been advised to move my apps / system / and library to the second smaller 120GB SSD. Is this possible without doing a clean install of everything?
thanks

Hi -
Question 1: The obvious first question is - did you select Delete unused media from selected items?
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/MediaManagerDeleteUnused.jpg!
If you did, does your media have a Reel Name associated with it?
2) You can email the project sequence information (you will want to zip it first before sending), Then you can relink to the media as long as the media has the same names. If will be a matter of re-directing the sequence to the new directory location of the media - which you will do through the Reconnect dialog box.
But you might want to just buy an external hard disk drive, copy the media and project there and FedEx the whole thing to your collaborator.

How do I install OSX onto a new SSD (in the place of my optical drive) without transferring all data across. However, with the applications, system and library on the SSD to improve the speed, but keep non essential items (the home folder) on the HDD

I have a mid 2009 13 inch unibody 2.53GHz MacBook Pro. I'm finding that it doesn't run as quickly as it used to.
A genius in the Apple store suggested that I replace my optical drive with an SSD, however only use the SSD for OSX, applications, system and library. Keep all documents, pictures, music etc on the current hard drive.
I would be grateful if someone could help me with:
1) installing OSX on the SSD without copying across data from the current hard drive
2) transferring applications, system and library folders across to the SSD so that they still function
3) changing my settings so that OSX reads the home folder from the current hard drive, as well as all the applications' data (documents, music etc...)
However, I would like to run iMovie, with all events etc solely from the SSD to speed up the process of editing movies.
If anyone could help with this, it would be much appreciated.

If you got the data transfer cable with your SSD, the procedure should be pretty simple - and there should be step-by-step instructions in the box. You're simply going to remove the bottom case of your computer (using a Phillips #00 screwdriver), take out the two screws in the bracket holding the hard drive into place (using same screwdriver), remove the drive and (use a Torx 6 screwdriver) remove the four screws that hold the hard drive in place. Then put in the SSD and reassemble the machine.
Then you'll plug up the old hard drive by using the SATA to USB cable and use the option key to boot from the old drive. I don't know what data transfer software Crucial provides, but I would recommend formatting the SSD using Disk Utility from your old drive ("Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition) and then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to your new SSD (see this user tip for cloning - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4122). You needn't worry about getting an enclosure since you have the data transfer cable and you don't want to use your old hard drive.
There are a number of videos on YouTube that take you step-by-step through this procedure - many specific to Crucial SSDs and their data transfer kit - do a little searching there if you're unsure of how to procede.

Data Migration from R3 to new ECC System

Hello,
We are doing a fresh implementation for SAP MDM. Currently we have 3 SAP R/3 systems and 1 non-R3 system (BPCS system). One of the project goals is to do data migration from all these 4 systems into a new SAP ECC system and to MDM for Vendor Master, Customer Master and Material Master. My manager says that we need Business Objects tool to Migrate these data. But, my question is that is it not possible to achive this through XI/PI itself ? Can anyone let me know the entire process in XI/PI as to how do I receive the Idocs from R/3, convert into XML and then send it to the new ECC system in Idoc format ?
Thks & Rgds,
Hema

Hi Gandhi,
You have SAP MDM, BPC and R/3 systems in your landscape, when you are migrating data to new ECC system, what is the role of mdm, did you moving the same data to MDM to avoid duplicate/redundant data??is there any data migration from R/3 to MDM(any integration required)or MDM to R/3,
You have to develop different interfaces to transfer data from MDM to ECC, BPC to ECC.definelty you required one middleware, the option definitely SAP PI. it offers very easy of integration between MDM and R/3 system, you can use MDM-PI adapter to connect to directly MDM syndicator file port from there you can pull the XML file and convert it in to IDoc format use Receiver IDoc adapter in PI, the same way we can integrate BPC system with R/3.
Search in sdn, there are some scenarios integration of R/3 and MDM using PI, refer those links, if still you have any doubts let me know,
Regards,
Raj
