Moving HDD from one iMac to another

I recently changed from a white 17" C2D Intel iMac to an aluminium 20" C2D iMac, and in the process moved my hard drive across to the new iMac. The new iMac runs fine off this drive, however it's just occurred to me that the install may be tailored to the machine it was installed on, meaning there may not be specific files needed by the new iMac. Is this the case, or are is moving the drive without re-installing fine?

If your Mac is running fine, there's likely no problem.
If not, there's no reason to erase everything and start over. The solution is to just (re)install OSX (and the appropriate "combo" update if necessary). This article refers to problems when using Time Machine to restore a different Mac's backups (a similar situation): http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3243
After the reinstall, if your Mac isn't at the proper level, do not use any apps yet; download and install the "combo:" http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048 for 10.6.4; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324 for 10.6.5.
Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

Moving images from one library to another; or how to have 2 libraries open at the same time in Aperture 2

This may be something easy but for some reason I am having a hard time figuring this out. Basically this is the situation: I have a library on my MBP hd that I import pictures to when I am not hooked up to my external hd for the time being. The main library is of course on the external 2tb drive. How do I have 2 libraries open so that I can essentially drag and drop the pictures from one library to another? It would basically be like moving files from one project to another. Thanks for any help!

Always keep a backup of your original images, before you delete them. I make a backup right form the card, before I even import them to Aperture.
How are your images stored right now? Are the referenced or managed? On your big volume I'd consolidate the newly imported images, to be sure they are really inside the Aperture library before I delete any images outside the library.
but they have the little yellow triangle caution symbol on them and I can see them but not really edit them
That is a very typical problem, when you imported your images as referenced images then somehow delete or move the original master image files, that are stored outside the Aperture library.
Do you still have the original masters of the images with the yellow triangle that you cannot edit? In Aperture 3 you can point Aperture to the location of the master image file "File >Locate referenced image" - probably Aperture 2 has a similar command to let you reconnect your masters, if you still have them. Look into the manual.

Moving Image from one Review to Another?

I attempted to upload an image (open in Photoshop) to a specific review. However, I could not see the desired review in the Photoshop CS Review panel. Out of frustration - after attempting to "find" the desired review for several minutes - I uploaded the image to another review and then went online, using Safari, to Acrobat.com.
There is no visible means of moving an image from one review to another. There is a way of dragging one review (with all sub-images) to another location. But I can't see a way of moving a sub-image from one review to another review.
IF there is some "magic" that someone knows I would sure appreciate some education.

This works quite well for a single image review. I've moved them from one workspace to another. The issue is when a review has multiple images and you want to take only one of them from that review and move it to another review in another workspace; I can't seem to get that to work at all.
When I open a review and navigate to the desired image, then click in the lower left corner and select a new workspace to move the image to, it moves the entire review - not the single image - to the new workspace.
I guess I could delete the "part" from the workspace it currently exists in and then create it as a stand alone review, but then I won't be able to imbed it into another review as I want to do.
The source frustration here is that I can't get CS Review in CSPS5 to navigate to the desired workspace/review. I get "ALL REVIEWS" displayed but not the workspaces... Any ideas on how to display workspaces instead of reviews?

Moving Stack from one folder to another?

Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

Moving Itunes From one computer to another

HI,
Can anyone offer advice for moving Itunes from one laptop to another? The original laptop that has my itunes on it, has broke, it froze and will not operate. Rather that lose all my purchased music and playlists i would like to swap it to another laptop. Can anyone advise if this will be possible and how to do it? Both laptops have windows XP installed
thanks
Arlene

Hi
I am having a similar problem- when I record from Itunes to a cd it only works in "Data cd" format in the advanced tab. That's okay, but when I re-insert the cd and try to import it, it doesn't show anything- it plays in Itunes okay. There aren't any little boxes to check for selecting any songs and if I try to use the import function, it shows as blank.(file type shows as .txt) I am using Itunes 6- would Itunes 7 help this?
thanks- I have a lot of music to transfer and this is a problem.

I came up with an alternative solution.
Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

Moving mail from one user to another

I am moving from my old iMac to a newer eMac. The eMac had been used by a housemate for Mail, and I have now set up a separate user account for them so they can access this older Mail. However, I am having trouble getting the "Mail" folder into the new user account.
I found it in the first user ~/Library/ and dragged it to the "Shared" user folder. Then I switched to the second user; where I can see it but not open it.
I then tried putting it directly in the MacHD directory, with the same result.
How do I move the info from one user to another?

How does one change ownership of a file?
The only way to do it in the Finder is doing File > Get Info (⌘I), changing the Ownership & Permissions settings, then clicking Apply to enclosed items. Problem is, this changes more than is needed and is not the most appropriate way of doing it.
Alternatively, Terminal can be used to issue a command that changes what must be changed and only that. The exact command to use would depend on what the situation exactly is and what exactly do you want to do, though, which I don’t know yet...
I want to move this out.
(I will later move mine in from another computer).
Not sure what you mean.

[JS CS3] Moving pages from one doc to another

I'm having trouble understanding the pages.move method, when used to move pages from one file to another. With one ID file open, I want to create another file, and then move pages from the first file to the second. At this point, the new, second file is untitled. Must I save it first? Here is what I have so far...
var oldDocument = app.activeDocument;
var newDocument = app.documents.add();
// Move pages
oldDocument.pages.itemByRange(0,1).move(LocationOptions.after,newDocument.pages[-1]);
I'm having trouble figuring out how to reference both documents properly.

Dave, that was it! I didn't realize that the Move method actually "moved" the pages. I assumed it copied the pages, similar to the move pages dialog without the "delete pages after moving" option checked. But I see now that what I really want to use is the "duplicate" method, which will allow me to copy the page from a one-page document into another document. Thanks!

Moving app from one screen to another fails very often

I'm using the feature to manually move apps from one screen to another on iPhones. It works very smooth without any problem on these devices.
On my iPad 3 I've some trouble with that feature. 1 out of 20 tries works. It makes no difference if moved slow, fast or concentrated - it fails too often.
Spoken with other people using iPad leads to the results the problem also exists on iPad 2. So what happens? You switch to edit mode by holding the "Home" button and wait until the apps are vibrating. Now you put a finger over an app, hold them and move them to the right or left display border. Instead of switching to the next screen the icon jumps back to it's original position. Different people tried it on my iPad and all of them failed in the given rate.
Workaround is to use the shortcut bar on the bottom or to use iTunes from Mac or PC. I've also noticed that most of the time a "close" request of an application (by hitting the "-" sign on an app icon) failed if the app is on the border of the display. This happens randomly and you feel you missed the "-" sign so repeating the operation. But if you concentrate on it you will notice it doesn't respond properly.
As a result my impression is the touchscreen functionality is not as good as on iPhone. Where I have no problem at all with both operations. As other people also suffer from this issues it must be related to the iPad screen.

Yes by restoring the iPhone from the backup of the Pod. The app has to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore.

Hi Reddy,
If you are moving files in two libraries in different sites, then the error will occur and it is by design that there are limitations on the DAV move commands that the DAV client is respecting.

If you are moving files in the same library, I recommend you to use Wireshark to reveal the error message and enable IIS
Trace Logging for Failed Requests to examine the IIS log file for troubleshooting.

To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend you to test with another library and see if the copy in explorer can work.
Best regards.

Streaming Movie from one iMac to another

I hope this is a quick issue.
I have had a Mac Mini for several years connected in our family room to a Sony TV. We use iTunes to watch movies and it works very well. I have a 2 terabit external drive (iomega) with Firewire, but at this point the Itunes library is on the Mac Mini's hard drive.
I have another mac (27 inch) which has a larger hard drive and a Thunderbolt 6 TV Raid (3 tb mirror). I curently have the itunes library on that mac located on my 256 gig SD drive (second hard drive is 2 TB disk).
I was planning on moving the itunes library to the RAID and running movies in the family room via home sharing.
So last night we tried to watch a movie stored on my SD drive accross the wired network to the family room. It played fine for about 5 minutes and then just stopped. When I tried to restart the movie the Mac Mini said I could not because home sharing was not on! I checked it was.
I then used the finder to log onto that mac again and the movie showed up in the shared section on iTunes but again would not play for more than a few minutes.
So what am I doing wrong?
I was considering getting an Apple TV for the bedroom, but if I cannot successfully stream a movied from one mac to another on the WIRED network, what chance will I have with a WIFI connected Apply TV??
Mike

Found the problem.
D'ooh
Had wifi and wired network connection running!
I turned off wifi on the Mac mini and it works fine.
Also tested wifi streaming with a Mac book and it works fine.
