Migration Woes of DW .ste Files To New Computer

I having having problems importing DW CS3 .ste files to a new computer. I transferred all my websites files over to the new computer using the same file/folder structure as the old one. I also Exported all the .ste files via DW's Site > Manage Sites into a folder on my old desktop which I then copied over to the desktop of the new computer. And, I successfully installed DW on the new computer.
However, when I try to Import any of .ste files via DW Site > Manage Sites (menu is empty at this point in time), I am prompted to "choose local root folder for site (name here)". This last ("choose") step is not mentioned in the online DW help. And, no matter what folder I choose (I've tried many, many ways), in the Manage Sites menu I have one site identified but the content in the Files Panel is just a list of all the .ste files, not that site's files and folders as I was exptecting. Very confusing and frustrating.
Any suggestions on how I can resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you are using a Windows 7 machine (or perhaps it will also work in Vista) Try this:
Make sure that your site files exist on your computer in the correct location - for instance Inetpub/wwwroot/yoursitename/
Make sure that you have an image file in the folder.
In Dreamweaver, open sites/manage sites/import
Navigate to the ste file.
When asked for a local site folder, navigate to the folder and open it.
Select any folder within it (notes is fine) and click open.
When asked for an images folder, click on the images folder and open it.
Click on any folder within it (notes is fine) and click open.
This should then set up the site. Exit the file manager and you should be shown a list of files for your site.
I have just done this in the last few minutes with no problem.
If you do not select a folder within your site (rather than the site folder) you will not get the correct location. Its a windows 7 thing, not a Dreamweaver problem.

Migration of Time Machine backup files to new Mac

I am the proud owner of a new iMac which is replacing an old 2006 model. I have 2 external hard drives which I have now connected to the new computer, I used to back these up using TM on my old mac. Can I migrate those backup files to the new mac so that if needed I can go back to restore files from months back ? The TM backup is held on a 3rd external drive.
Looking across the web it looks like if I switch on TM it will start with new backup files and wont read the old ones. Any ideas please ? Thanks

TM will make a completely new backup of your new computer, so you may wish to use a freshly formatted drive large enough to handle TM backups (roughly double the size of the drive you are backing up.) You can use TM or Migration Assistant to transfer from an old backup. MA is only useful if you want to transfer the entire Home folder, all third-party applications and support folders, system support folders, and system preferences. But if you want to move selected files and/or folders then you would need to use the TM application.
See User Tips for Time Machine for help with TM problems. Also you can select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for "time machine" to locate articles on how to use TM. See also Mac 101- Time Machine.

Transfer user files to new computer without creating new user?

I know this is probably listed on here, but I have searched for two days and have not found it. I am very confused and frusterated. I set up my new iMac on wednesday running Lion. When I originally tried migration in setup assistant, the only way to migrate computer to computer was over the wifi. After that failed/froze three times (I am thinking because my home internet is too slow?) I just skipped that set in setup so I could use my computer. After reading some posts, I saw that I could migrate by essentailly making my old computer (macbook pro) an external hard drive and holding down the "T" key when I restarted. When it said I cannot transfer that user with the same name to the new computer, I changed the name. That worked must faster and transfered all my stuff over. I went to set up my itunes and iphoto and noticed that I couldn't find those migrated files. I read another post saying that i now have another user and have to log out and log into that user to get the files. I don't want two users, I want one that has all my stuff! Now maybe I did something wrong or don't totally understand the process, but is there a way for that to be done?? I have read I can delete the "admin" account that my computer created somehow and just use the old computers migrated user as my main account or just leave them both. Which is the better option here? Appreciate any help anyone can give. Thank you for your time.

You did nothing wrong, but you did misunderstand the process. Here are your options:
Log out of the account you created in Setup Assistant and log into the account you migrated from your old computer. Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and enter the admin password for the migrated account. Select the account created in Setup Assistant and click on the Delete [-] button to remove it. Select the third removal option. You now have one user account - the renamed account you migrated from your old computer.
Create a third temporary account. Name it "temp" and use "temp" as the password (no quotes.) Give this new account admin status. Log out of the current account and log into temp. Now delete both of the other accounts. Then connect the other computer via Firewire cable as you did before. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. Now re-migrate your old account using Migration Assistant. After the migration has completed log out of temp and log into your old account. Delete the temp account. This will give you one account with the same username you were using originally.

Need help with transferring DW files to new computer

I purchased a second computer - installed DW on new computer
and connected to server - but am having a problem getting the site
files installed correctely.
On comp#1, in the sidebar I can switch between local and
remote -- and there are arrows to upload or download files. On new
computer I don't see that. New computer has Vista, would that
change the look of the DW program?

> installed DW on new computer and connected to
> server - but am having a problem getting the site files
installed correctely.
go to old computer.
open dw.
dw menu-->site-->Manage Sites
select a site (in cs3, you can shift-click to select entire
list)
and press the export button.
repeat for all sites.
then move the .ste files AND all the "local site folders"
that contain the
site assets to the other computer.
double-click the .ste file, or use dw
menu->site->import
you will have to double-check these three places in each site
definition:
Local info:
Local site folder path
default image folder path
Site:
location of this site's "homepage"
-->IF anything on the path to the local files is different
on this computer.
Such as having a different Username.

Importing Existing Music Files to New Computer

Hi:
I have a new computer and am trying to get iTunes to recognize the existing music files on an external drive (created via my previous laptop). I changed the Pref-Advanced=Folder location to the external drive but it does not see the existing files. If I import folder then the first one works but the second messes up the existing album/folder structure and I get 2 or 3 songs per folder, even for the folder that came in OK (I have turned on "Keep iTunes Folder organized") . Also, very tedious to import one folder at a time. Is there no way to say "get all the stuff under this main folder or drive"?
thanks
don

Don - If "Get Info" looks like it is not editable, that usually means the song file is set to "Read Only," which you can fix in Windows via right-click, Properties.
As far as consolidating albums, after the songs are imported you can highlight a group of them and use Get Info to edit the "Album" and "Album Artist" to new values.

How do I transfer music files to new computer...

I thought all I had to do was copy the itunes folder in My Music to a hard drive, and then copy that to my new computer in the same path. But when I open the itunes music folder, it is clear that only a fraction of my music files are in there. I want to do this right, so can anyone help?????

Well, you can take all of your music on your iPod and put it onto your HDD...

No iTunes folder on iPod when moving files to new computer

I have a 30g classic iPod and a new computer. I've authorized the new computer and installed iTunes. The complicating factor is that my old computer is completely useless. The hard drive was damaged, I was unable to move any content from the iTunes library, so I am trying to move what is currently on my iPod to the new computer.
I've followed the tutorial/guide on using the iPod as a hard drive to move files from an old computer to the new, but when I look at my iPod on the new computer there is no iTunes folder -- only the Calendar, Notes and Contacts folders. From within iTunes, I can see the content on the iPod, but it's grayed out/inaccessible.
I am at a complete loss. Can anyone help? I REALLY don't want to have to create a library from scratch. Any advice is most appreciated!

Best way to move files to new computer?

Struggling to move about 10,000 files from my old computer to new computer. PSE10 in both computers running on windows 7 pro. Trying to use an external hard drive, but ending up with some empty folders; and the pop up says the images are already in the catalogue. I see all the files in explorer but can't get all of them visible in all folders?
Would I have done better connecting each computer directly?
Basically I'm asking what is the best method to copy/move files when upgrading to a new computer?

That is what I tried first with my Seagate external hard drive, but it would not allow restore on a different computer. It seems Seagate requires purchase of additional program to allow sharing to a different computer. So I tried using my older Lacied external hard drive with only 80gb which is less than my total catalogue size; so I could not do a simple backup and restore; so I manually dragged and dropped what would fit, ending up with the missing folders I mentioned. I just did a reconnection of files and think I finally have all folders full.
So Seagate was a waist of money. What external hard drives work well for a backup and restore, as you suggest? Or does someone else have some other recommendations?

Transfering iTunes files to new computer using external USB hard drive

Thought this could be useful:
If you want to transfer your complete iTunes library to a new computer preserving all your playlists and library information, but without using your iPod as a hard dive, or without burning a CD or DVD, you can do it by using an USB external hard drive following these easy steps:
1) Quit iTunes
2) Connect your USB external hard drive to your computer and acccess it thru My PC or Windows Explorer.
3) Create two new folders in your external hard drive (you can name them LIBRARY Backup and PLAYLISTS Backup).
4) Open the LIBRARY Backup folder.
5) Open another Windows Explorer or My PC window; open the iTunes Music folder (usually located in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My documents\My music\iTunes).
6) Copy all of its contents (only the contents, not the whole folder) to the LIBRARY Backup folder you created in your external USB Hard Drive.
7) Close both the LIBRARY Backup folder from your USB external hard drive and the iTunes Music folder.
8) Open the PLAYLISTS Backup folder from your USB external hard drive
9) From your iTunes folder, copy the iTunes Music Library.xml to the PLAYLISTS Backup folder.
10) Close all the windows and extract your USB external hard drive from your PC ()
11) Install iTunes in your new computer.
12) Using Windows Explorer open the iTunes Music folder (usually located in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My documents\My music\iTunes).
13) Connect the USB hard drive to your new computer and open it using another Windows Explorer window.
14) Open the LIBRARY Backup folder and copy all of its contents (only the contents, not the whole folder) to the iTunes Music folder in your new computer. After the copying is complete, close this folder.
15) Copy the PLAYLISTS Backup folder to you new computer’s desktop.
16) Close Windows Explorer and extract USB hard drive.
17) Open iTunes
18) From the File menu, choose Import. Navigate to the iTunes Music Library.xml file on the Desktop and click Choose. The imported playlist will show only songs located on the computer's hard disk or external media.
19) You can now delete the xml. file from your new computer’s desktop if you wish.

Have old files on new computer; doesn't recognize iPod

Hi all,
Last month a PC that had been solid for five years gave up the will to live (may it rest in peace). Through the grace of all that is good in the universe, I had a backup of all my files. My iPod (30GB iPod photo) is in great shape (as it apparently saw no need to follow the suicidal activities of the PC - another blessing).
So now I have a new PC which seems to be quite the nice machine, and on it I have installed iTunes. I tried hooking up the iPod, but the USB connection didn't seem to recognize it. I have the new software (7.0.2.16), a good iPod, and a happy computer with the hopefully temporary character flaw that it doesn't recognize the iPod.
1) What is the best way to get the computer to recognize the iPod?
2) Should I just add the several thousand songs I have in the folders now on the new drive on the new computer to the new software, or should I try to do this backwards from the iPod?
3) I also haven't authorized the new machine yet. Following a computer that's gone on to tech-heaven, is there a preferred way to do this? (and...)
4) Is the order of these activities important?
I did search the archives to try to find the advice before, and found plenty that were similar but not quite the same. I probably went right by what I needed. Big thanks and a humble bow to anyone willing to take time to answer this.

1. Your library with all you music on it is on your old laptop's hard drive. Remove the drive, put it in an external USB enclosure and import your music to the new computer.
2. Try this to get your computer to recognize the iPod.

On loading backup file to new computer, I keep getting an error message.

I have been trying to move my bookmarks to a new computer using the backup file which I prepared and stored on my external hard drive, but I keep getting an error message.

What error message do you get?
Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
*Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
*Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
Make sure that the bookmarks backup file has the correct (lowercase) file extension:
* .html for a HTML backup (needs to be imported and merges bookmarks)
* .json for a JSON backup (needs to be restored and replaces bookmarks)
You can check the file type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "Firefox > New Tab > Open File" or "File > Open File".
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup shows as a web page with clickable links.
A JSON backup starts with: <b><nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki></b>
An HTML backup starts with: <b><nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki></b>
Verify the file type in the Properties via the right-click context menu to make sure that the change has been successful.
Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

Cannot see or copy protected files to new computer

We purchased a new computer and moved our iTunes Music folder to it using our wireless home network. When using the new computer to look at the contents of the iTunes Music folder on the old computer, we cannot even see icons or folders for any of the protected songs. So, we cannot drag them over. After the move, we authorized the new computer within iTunes but we still have the problem.
We have also tried to use the old computer, where we can see the folders with the protected songs, but it will not let us copy them over (error message is "Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the the file is not currently is unse.)
I know this sounds complicated but hopefully somebody has had the same ot a similar problem. Help please...

Transferring files into new computer

I have a new MBP on order. Upon arrival, I would like to copy my "Safari" bookmarks & "RSS" feeds, and my "iTunes" podcasts into the new computer. I use an external backup, so I can copy these files (settings) onto the drive, then on to the new laptop once it arrives.
Does anyone know where these files (settings) reside?
Thank you in advance.

safari bookmarks are kept in the bookmarks.plist. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301239 as far as the podcasts go, are they stored in your itunes library?? if so, it is easiest to use an ipod to transfer them. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
