Migration Asst: Transfer SOME (not ALL) apps to new Mac? Is 10.4 10.3 OK ?

I have a PB G4 running 10.4.11. I also just obtained an iBook G3 running 10.3.9. I don't have the System Install disks for either 10.4 or 10.3.
My goal is to transfer SOME (but not ALL) of my applications from the PB with 10.4.11 to the iBook with 10.3.9, using Migration Assistant. Is this even possible? Does Migration Assistant have the capacity to do ANY of the following tasks? :
1. Transfer just some applications (which the user chooses) but not all of them?
2. Transfer applications or users backwards down the OS scale, going from 10.4 to 10.3?
3. Transfer an entire OS from one computer to the other? I.e. Can I use Migration Assistant to transfer 10.4.11 itself from the PB G4 to the older iBook G3?
I haven't tried it out yet because I don't want to mess anything up in case it's not allowed to go backwards down the OS scale. I think it is assumed that the new computer onto which the Migration Assistant will transfer new files will be running an OS that is at least as up-to-date as the donor computer's.
Also, the reason I don't want to transfer ALL my applications is that there is not enough hard drive space on the old iBook G3 to hold all the applications. I just need a few of them, but no longer have the original install disks.
If all else fails, I can try to do it manually, but with all the support files some of these applications have, I'm sure to mess it up. Hence my hope in Migration Assistant.
Any help with any of these questions would be appreciated, even if you can't answer all of them. Thanks.

BDAqua --
OK, thanks. Your answers tell me I shouldn't try to use Migration Assistant in this case. The size of my "Applications" folder on my PB G4 is larger than the entire hard drive on the iBook G3. So if it's "all or nothing," I'll have to go with nothing. I'll just see if I can transfer the applications I need by hand, though that may be difficult -- I'm sure to leave out some key hidden "support" files and folders.
As for the side issue of needing to be in possession of the OS installation disks to even use the OS at all: does that mean one is legally required to wipe one's drive if one loses the disks that came with the computer? Say it ain't so! If that were the case, half the Macs in the US would have to be abandoned, since misplacing or losing the install disks is pretty commonplace. And buying used computers would become a near impossibility, since generally people don't include the disks with the computers. I bought both the PB G4 and the iBook G3 used, and in neither case did they come with the disks. Just the computer, nothing else. I have no choice but to use the OSes as is!

How can I delete or transfer some (not all) Albums, Music and pics in "Photo Library" NOT purchased in iStore from my iPhone to a computer, when the original computer that did the original iTunes to iPhone synch is no longer available (stolen)?

The iPhone iOS 4 User Guide sees to indicate that the SYNCH function is all one way from computer to iPhone, unless it is for purchased items in iStore on the iPhone.

Hi wjosten,
thanks for the "TouchCopy" software link. I have downloaded a demo copy and it will resolve my transfer of music from iPhone to the new computer. I can then delete any unwanted music on the new computer, then re-synch the updated music to iPhone.
I am not sure about the photos. On my iPhone, there are two photo "albums" - one called "camera roll" and the other called "photo library." TouchCopy finds the pictures in the "camera roll" DCIM folder, and I can copy them to the new computer etc.
However, TouchCopy does not seem to find the "Photo Library" folder. Any clues?

Problems downloading apps ! some not all !

I am having trouble downloading some not all apps for my i pad both paid and free ones.Most of them are working fine but some just appear for 1 sec say waiting then disappear.Any ideas chaps?
Thanks

Wi Fi is much better for down loading apps, is that what you are using ? Also if you are having problems you could try a reset of the iPad .

Transfer some items from iMac to new MacBook Pro

I am buying a new laptop and want to transfer some not all of my files from my iMac to the new MacBook Pro.
When I bought my iMac 2 years ago I just transferred everything from my old Mac to the new one via USB I think.
Again I do not want to transfer everything.
The laptop is a secondary computer to take with us on the road and or my wife can play her games and not try up the main computer.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Your best bet is to use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. Transfer your User accounts and some or all of the contents of the home folders (you can't pick and chose individual files, but you can omit some broad categories). See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? for details. Then you can delete what you don't want.
The reason you should do it that way is, the user accounts on both Macs will then be the same; each account on one Mac will have the same permissions to data for the same account on the other Mac, and other drives as well, such as your backups.

I just bought a new Mac and I want to transfer some data (not all) from my old Mac. Basically, I want to move my itunes library, iphoto library, and a few documents. I have not even turned on my new Mac yet. Is the best way by an external hard drive?

If both have Firewire ports then you can accomplish your goal by using Target Disk Mode. If this is not possible then you can do using an external drive or if you have a local network connect both to your network and use filesharing between the two computers.

Transfer SOME of my apps

Hi everyone,
I've got an iPod touch.mmy iPhone 5 is on its way here. I'd like to transfer SOME of my apps to my iPhone, but not all. Is there any way to do that? My iPod's got a lot of junk on it, so I really just want to transfer a few key things (Clear, Where's my Water, Cut the Rope, you know, important stuff!) to my iPhone along with their data. How can I do this?

Transfer the data from your iPod Touch using an iTunes backup, not an iCloud backup, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109. When you restore your phone to the iTunes backup your apps will not all automatically be downloaded to your phone like they are when you restore to an iCloud backup. Instead, when done restoring to your iTunes backup, you can go to the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings and check only the apps you want on your phone and then sync.

After reinstall not all apps are installed

Hi!
I've had the problem that my iPhone 3G freezed and the restart only shows the apple logo. So I started it in recovery mode, reinstalled iPhone, activated it and my computer and synced one time. All contacts, calenders and all settings were restored - wonderful!!!
But not all apps have been installed. But why? All apps are lying in the directory where the others are lying which were installed. After another sync nothing more happened. Then I double clicked an app-file directly and then it showed up in iTunes under Programs. After another sync some programs are installed on iPhone but not all.
So is this normal? How could I install all my apps?
Is it possible to download apps which I didn't synchronized before restore, because iTunes says there are no downloads available.
Thanks for help in advance!!
Greetings
Udo

As far as I know you shouldn't have ANY TROUBLES with the NATIVE APPS...you know like Safari, Calendar, Photos...etc. However, the apps that you download from the app store, I believe, need to be re-installed manually. This is what I have to do with my original iPhone with 2.0 software anyway. I would think that it is the same with the 3G.

How I can transfer some of my apps from I phone to my MacBook Pro?

How I can transfer some of my apps from I phone to my MacBook Pro?

Start iTunes 11.1 or later on your MacBook Pro and connect your iPhone. Select your iPhone in iTunes and under General select Transfer purchases.
That will create backups of your apps on your MacBook Pro. The apps will not run on your MacBook Pro though just in case you were wanting to do that. The Mac OS X on the MacBook Pro and the iOS on your iPhone are different operating systems.

CSS (some, not all) not showing up in browser, but fine in DW. Plus other desperate issues....

I would really appreciate any and all help I can get to solve these problems as I'm new to CSS/HTML (completely new) and have been attempting to code my design just well enough to get it uploaded and working as a site. Once I can atleast achieve this feat, I plan on completely converting to CSS. But for now, I need to get the site working and I really didn't want to come and bother all of you on here with my problems and have been procrastinating posting on here for absolutely ages now....but since I can't figure all of the messy-uppy ness going on on my own, I beg forgiveness for any of your time wasted on my problems .
Okay, so the "main" issue here is that I can see some(some, not all) CSS on DW, but I see NONE whatsoever when I go to preview in browser, same after uploading. I do have all of the files uploaded and placed in the correct directories, including the stylesheet, and images folder. But, nope, nada. Now, I did think this was a root/directory problem, maybe the url's weren't pointing to the right directories. I checked and attempted to fix this several times and any changes made no difference. Also, uploaded to the root of my site, where all files and folders are where they should be, yet no change. I am utterly clueless as to what is going on here....
Second: Padding, or margins added through CSS for the divs is simply not working in DW or otherwise. I have padding placed on all of the content type areas with writing/content in them and despite the fact that the changes to the font/text formatting I've made show up, the padding does not. This is only in DW since no CSS whatsoever is showing out of DW anyways. I would like to know how to get the padding and the formatting, just all of the CSS in general to actually show up in browser/when uploaded.
Third: The next issue is also confusing, and this only occured after I made the page into a template and uploaded the home.htm page I created from it to my site. For some reason, the image called "../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif". Is appearing at the very top of the page for no reason at all. I don't understand why it is there, or how it even got up there in the first place.
Fourth: This was actually next on my list of things to figure out once I've gotten all of the above issues taken care of but since I'm still drawing a blank after 2+ weeks on how to get this done in a way that will work I guess it couldn't hurt to ask on here and get some expertise on the matter. The issue is that I have a repeating background (images/bg.png) that I want stretching downwards as I add content to the page. I have this placed as the main background for the entire site as you will be able to see in a moment through my code/site. Now, the place I want this to start is from where the aforementioned image (../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif) stops. However, I want the content to actually start from 20 pixels or so from the top of that very image. I want to try and achieve this through the use of margins but since the margins and padding are not showing up I hve been unable to experiment with it enough to figure out any other way to achieve this. Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be much appreciated.
Fifth (yes, unfortunately we're still going): As you may be able to see through the design I have two seperate areas for the main content and the navigation and other such items to be placed. To clarify, the content will be placed(through the use of expandable content boxes, once I figure out how to work that) beginning at the aforementioned image/td/div (../images/aurora2_14_content_marg.gif) with a bit of padding or margin from the top and sides (too pull the content towardsthe center of the site rather than all over from left to right like it is appearing now). The navigation etc will be placed where the long cyan area is under the search bar. For both of these, I cannot figure out how to split my one background image and also the content_marg.gif image into the two divs/or whatever else would work to split their contents from eachother. I think that seperating them into 2 divs with padding from the sides and eachother and seperate top paddings (I want the navigation to begin more near the top of the page than the content). The issue here is, I cannot figure out how to do this.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, any tips on how to achieve the code for the solutions provided would also be very much appreciated, as I am only just starting out coding.
The site/page:
http://aurora.comeze.com/home.htm
The stylesheet (style.css):
http://aurora.comeze.com/style.css
Like I mentioned above, all of this except the padding shows up in DW. Whereas, none of this shows up at all in browser view, or through the site.

We have migrated data from virsa 4.0 to grc 10.1, all virsa mitigation approvers and controllers got migrated but we are not able to map new mitigation approver and controller to the mitigation ids.

Hello All,
We have migrated data from virsa 4.0 to grc 10.1, all virsa mitigation
approvers and controllers got migrated but we are not able to map new
mitigation approver and controller to the mitigation ids.
The steps we have done below.
1. We have created user id in su01 with necessary authorizations
2. we have declared this user id in Access control owners as a
mitigation approver and assigned to the organization unit
Now we are trying to map to newly created mitigation approver to the
mitigation id but we are not able to find that approver id for the mitigation ids. (only old mitigation ids came from VIRSA only we are able to see, not able to add new mitigation approvers / controllers to the mitigation ids)
Kindly check this issue, this is very critical for us.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Karunakar

Hi Karunakar,
- Assign Owners to Organization unit
- Make these owners as Mitigation Approver and Monitor
- Create Mitigation Id in this Org. unit

Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

Transferring does not work, you need to install using installation files. Downloadable versions can be found at the following linked pages...
