Moving iLife 08 install from one machine to another (with a twist)

Greetings. I have a complete backup of all the files from an iMac I recently sold. I had purchased a single user version of iLife 08 which is what is on the backup. Before selling the iMac, I reformatted the drive and put iLife 06 and Tiger back on it, keeping the iLife 08 update for myself.
I have misplaced my iLife 08 program disk. It was the single user retail SKU of iLife 08 upgrade. I do have a complete backup from a PPC-based iMac that it had been installed on. I know the iLife 08 applications are universal since by trial and error I moved one app over to my new machine manually from the backup.
I have a MacBook that originally shipped with Tiger. I bought a single user update to Leopard and installed that using erase and install. All good so far. Of course, this wiped out the iLife 06 that had been on the MacBook w/Tiger, but I have a backup of it. I also have the backup of my iLife 08. Both the Leopard and iLife 08 are legal copies obtained at retail. I have the leopard DVD but can't find ilife 08.
I am sure I can somehow handpick the files from the iMac backup to put iLife 08 onto the Leopard-powered MacBook. I've already spend hours looking for the DVD but in the process of moving and just can't find it. So my question is the following:
What directories do I need to copy from my backup to bring iLife 08 to life on the MacBook? I moved GarageBand over and by watching error messages figured out what to move, but would rather not go through this for all the apps!
I am a loyal Mac user with quite a collection including iMacs, Minis, MacBook, had a couple of MacBook pros, and I've even got two XServes in production! I am evaluating Leopard and iLife 08 for use across the board. So far having some challenges with Leopard and web development tools preventing me from upgrading across the board. But for now this one MacBook will be my Leopard test bed.
Help or links to places with this info appreciated. I will keep looking for that darned DVD in the meantime.

yeh true the firewire drive doesnt need to be involved in the story at all... the only reason it is because I already backup my MBP to a firewire drive anyway - so I already have the new system/apps on that FW drive.
I already have my mac pro's current system drive backed up to yet another FW drive, so yea if it does all go wrong I dont even need to do an archive and install, I can directly boot from the old FW drive.
"This should work ok. I have a system on a firewire drive, and I can use it to boot up computer A or to boot up computer B, no problem. They are very different computers. So the same system can start up two very different computers."
Thats very reassuring. If Apple does not disencourage that type of usage then I guess that answers my question. I dont know much about the internal workings of OSX, but was concerned that maybe when installing from the DVDs only the relevant drivers or kernel or something would be installed - etc especially regarding 2core MBP vs. 8core mac pro (it would still work when copying over the system, but not fully optimally) - maybe what I said is total bullcr*p, I dunno! anyways, I will try and do some benchmarks etc and put it through some testing when I get some time - I have my old FW backup to fall back to so its cool...

Copying install from one machine to another

Hi all, I have a macbook pro and a mac pro, both of which I would like to reinstall from scratch (i've installed and removed LOADS of crap over the past year and want to start from fresh).
I've reinstalled the OS on my macbook pro (discs provided was 10.4.8) and done all the software updates, installed and configured all the software I use etc.
I was wondering if it would be safe to now copy my mbp system partition to a firewire drive with superduper, then boot my mac pro with that firewire drive and use superduper again to copy the firewire drive to my mac pro system partition - effectively copy the system partition from the macbook pro to the mac pro. It would save a helluva lot of time for me! I know I could just reinstall the OS on the mac pro, then do a 'get settings and apps from another partition' thing - but that still means I need to reinstall the OS and do all the updates - which takes hours, and THEN i need to do the settings transfer! and I cant really afford the downtime on my mac pro, the superduper method would be way quicker - and completely unmanned throughout, i can start the process just before I goto bed and its ready in the morning. But I'm not sure if it would be a 'safe' system - with the hardware being different and all on the MBP and MP...

How do I properly transfer CS from one machine to another

I want to remove my apps and license from one machine and move to another. I uninstalled CC, but the apps are still on the machine and functioning? Will I be able to move to a new machine without trouble?

There might not be a need to depending on your preferences. You are allowed to have two working installations, so you could keep the original as a backup if you like. If not, then you need to sign out of the original thru the manager. As far as getting the software on a new machine, you need to install them using installation files the same way you installed originally... moving software from one machine to another does not work.

Transfering keystore from one machine to another

Hi.
I've purchased a java signing digital ID from Verisign,
installed a keystore on one machine, imported the
certificate and I'm able to sign jar files. Now, I want to
be able to sign jar files on another machine instead of
moving jar files back and forth. Is there a way to
transfer keystore from one machine to another?
Thanks,
Jay

Can't say that I did this, but what I did do is... prior to importing my certificate reply from Verisign, I copied the .keystore file from the c:\windows directory on my Windows 98 machine onto a Win2K machine into the c:\Documents and Settings\<username> directory. Then I did the keytool -import. Since this worked for me, my guess would be that transferrring the .keystore file after the import would work too.

How to copy/move Portal database from one machine to another?

I am receiving a ORA-22973 error (size of object identifier exceeds maxmum size allowed) on the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table when attempting to import my entire "portal30" schema from one database to another on different Windows NT Servers.
Background: I had Portal 3.0.9.8 installed, configured, and running with the following setup:
Machine 1: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 9iAS 1.0.2.2, Oracle Portal 3.0.9.8
Machine 2: Windows NT 4.0 SP 6, Oracle 8i Database 8.1.7.0.0
We no longer have use of Machine 2 and needed to move the database over to Machine 1.
I performed the following steps:
1. Installed Oracle 8i database 8.1.7.0.0 on Machine 1.
2. Set up the tablespaces in the database on Machine 1 to match the same names and sizes of the tablespaces in the database on Machine 2.
3. Used the Oracle "exp" command to export the entire database that resided on Machine 2.
4. Copied the ".dmp" file to Machine 1.
5. Used the Oracle "imp" command to import the entire database on Machine 1.
6. The import completed successfully with warnings. But I had received the ORA-22973 error during the import process.
7. After it completed I compared the list of tables and packages in the "portal30" schema between the two databases. The wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table is missing.
8. I tried to export and import only the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table between the two databases, but continue to receive the ORA-22973 error.
Without the table being created, access to the portal cannot be achieved.
Here are my questions:
1. Is there anyway to create the wwsec_enabler_config_info$ table without receiving the noted error?
2. Is there any other workable way to get the portal database from Machine 2 to Machine 1?
I am aware of the portal import/export utilities but that would require me to run through the 2 hour install of Portal 3.0.9.8 on the database on Machine 1 and then individually export and import all the portal components (security, pages, applications, content library, etc). I merely wanted to transfer the entire database from one machine to another, so I felt the Oracle exp/imp utilities would be quicker and less work.

Hi,
I've been hitting problems with Portal 3.0.9.8.1 against 8.1.7.2.1 on NT - i.e., Intermedia not working at all, and have been advised by support to move back to 8.1.7.1.1.
I don't want to lose any of my content in the Portal since the db upgrade and am wondering on what is the best way to do this.
The version of the Portal will be the same so I am hoping I can just use the Portal export and import utilities, as afterall, it is just data and the schema structures are the same between db versions. I'm also hoping that the Portal export doesn't use the standard Oracle EXP tool as it doesn't work anymore on 8.1.7.2.1 on NT!!

John

Recovering data from one machine to another

Hi all;
I've mentioned this in another thread but would really like to deal with it. Recently, I had to move my iPhone from one machine to another. All was well and I managed to move all my apps from one machine to the current one. The problem is with a purchased app called TripLog that stores data on driven mileage. On moving the app over, I didn't get the data.
I contacted the software people and this is what I got:
"As far as data, the iTunes software automatically backs up all data to the desktop. The "Apple data" (contacts, calendar, etc) are backed up to the corresponding desktop apps (Address Book, iCal, etc) but data from "3rd party" apps are backed up in an encrypted, totally nonaccessible (to anyone but iTunes) format. That is used by iTunes when you do a "Restore".
"I would call Apple tech support if I were you, because unfortunately, that's all we know. The data IS somewhere on the desktop (I believe) but how you could transfer it to a new handheld I have no idea."
So the question is, Where is that data stored? In my user/Music/iTunes/Mobile Apps folder there were three versions of this app. I tried moving them all over and kept getting dialogs asking me if I wanted to repace an older version with the newer ones I was moving over. Since my iPhone and the new host computer didn't have TripLog I assumed I should replace but now I am not sure.
I can stil move over these files, but I have a feeling that they are not data so much as simply the app itself. Where is that data stored?
For the record, I have moved files from an iMac G5 to a Macbook running 10.6.1 and iTunes 9.0.1 with an iPhone 3G running 3.0.1
Help?
Stan

Many thanks!!! One more question; do I just move that file over and drag and drop or do I need to do an import into the folder, "Automatically Add to iTunes?" Further, will this affect all my data on the phone? For example, I have synced and made changes in things like iCal, Address Book, Mail, etc. Will the last few days be wiped out or replaced by the moved-in data?

Easy way to migrate users from one machine to another?

I have an iMac lab where students have their own local accounts. The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD. New school year, new seating charts, some users must move. Is there an easy way to migrate a user and all their stuff from one machine to another? We do have Remote Desktop BTW. I'm not finding an obvious answer so I guess there isn't but I sure wish there were. I suppose they could copy anything they want onto the server. set up a new account on the new machine and pull it all back off the server, but that's not "easy".

Hi
+The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD.+
This could be a telling statement although without further information it would be hard to say?
What I'm assuming from this is that current mac clients are bound to Active Directory. This would mean that user accounts exist on the Server and not locally. In which case there would be nothing to transfer other than the local admin account - again assuming you want the applications installed on the current client macs transferring over to the new client macs.
To be honest it would be easier and less hassle to create a new local admin account and install compatible software fresh. Use the same tools you used to 'bind' the old client macs to Active Directory for the new client macs.
+We do have Remote Desktop BTW+
You could utilize this to (a) name all the new mac clients with appropriate hostnames and (b) 'bind' new mac clients by issuing dsconfigad from the command line. If this seems like too much hard work then you could simply exercise your legs and walk round each one in turn.
Even if your current mac clients are configured with Mobile Accounts (locally cached network accounts) this would still not be a problem as you can manually or automatically sync the locally cached networked home folder back to the server and then log in with that account again on the new mac clients. The home folder should then be cached locally.
This assumes you've configured Directory Utility in the appropriate way.

Moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine

moving adobe 9 standard from 1 machine to another. How can I find the activation code on the old machine to activate on new machine?

You didn't really clarify much, just repeated the same question. First of all, Adobe is a company with many products.
Are you talking about Adobe Acrobat? If so you need to deactivate it on the old machine and then use enter the serial-number (as described) when installing it on the new machine. It will then activate itself automatically over the internet. Just keep in mind that Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and to make it compatible with Windows 7 you have to update it to at least version 9.2 after the installation.

How can I migrate an Essbase Appl. from one machine to another?

We uses 3 computers to cover our development cycle: one for developing, one for testing with almost real data (integration test) and a production machine.I created a new Essbase appl. and want to transfer it from one machine to another, but only using batch scripts (ESSCMD) due to company policy. I don't know where the name of the application is stored. (I thought it is essbase.sec, but I believe is not true)I transfer all the files that belongs to an appl. (the list of them I get using BEGINARCHIVE) but is not enough.Does anyone have a hint?

If you can map a drive to each to the servers, then:1. Create an application/database on the new server with the same names as those on the old server.2. Use Windows/DOS, copy the outline (.otl), calc scripts (.csc) and load rules (.rul) to the new server.3. Export the database from the old server to a file(s) on the new server.4. Stop/start the new database/app.5. Import the data into the new server (no load rule needed).

How to copy OVD configuration from one machine to another?

We have two machines with OVD servers on them. The configurations should be identical from one machine to the other. We suspect there is a problem with the configuration on one of them. We need to know how to copy OVD configuration from one machine to another.
Can you tell us how to do that?

well i have this in mind which may help you.
You would need to have a public ip address to the machine you have consoled to and on internet.
Download the tftp software from below link.
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
This software does not only act as the tftp server but also you can select the interface of you ethernet card as tftp server ip address.
For ex if you are connected to a console and have a wireless card which is connected to internet also you connect you eth lan card to the eth or fast eth of the router.
you can select which ever interface you want to act as the tftp server.
you will need to add ip addres for you lan card and also config the router port as same if needed.

VOs are corrupted after copying from one machine to another

Hi all
I have a customer with the following problem:
A team of developers are creating custom pages on different PCs for the same project.
In order to have the latest BC4J objects for everyone, VOs (XML file and Impl.java and RowImpl.java) are copied from one machine to another and added to the project.
But when doing this and trying to view the attributes of the new VO on the machine where the new VO si copied over will result in an error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Please notice that source JDeveloper version and target JDeveloper version are the same and are coming from the same JDev OA patch.
The only workaround i could find is creating the VO from scratch on the 2nd installation, but this reduces very much the development time, because developers are doing the same work other developer had undertaken before, so there is no benefit from this.
I got exactely the same result when copying the VO on the same machine in 2 different JDev installations (with the same version of course).
I have a very simple reproducible testcase with OA Toolbox tutorial:
Requirements:
- Two (2) workstations
- Each workstation must contain same copy of JDeveloper project (JPR file)
- Toolbox Tutorial project
Steps:
Workstation 1
1. Go to Tutorial.jpr project -> Business Components -> oracle.apps.fnd.framework.toolbox.schema.server
2. Right click package then select New View Object.
3. Proceed with the creation of the View Object using wizard.
4. Name the View Object as CustomerSupportVO
5. Select EmployeeEO and AddressEO.
6. Select all possible attributes.
7. On Step 6 of wizard, check Generate Java File for View Row Implementation.
8. Click Finish.
9. Save Project.
10. Copy CustomerSupportVO.xml, CustomerSupportVOImpl.java, CustomerSupportVORowImpl.java to shared folder.
Workstation 2
1. Copy CustomerSupportVO.xml, CustomerSupportVOImpl.java, CustomerSupportVORowImpl.java from shared folder to Workstation2/JDEV_HOME/myprojects/oracle\apps\fnd\framework\toolbox\schema\server.
2. Go to Tutorial.jpr project -> Business Components -> oracle.apps.fnd.framework.toolbox.schema.server
3. In the System Navigator, click on Add to Tutorial.jpr icon.
4. Select CustomerSupportVO.xml then click Open.
5. Click ok when prompt to add View Object’s components.
6. Right Click on CustomerSupportVO from Business Components.
7. Select Edit CustomerSupportVO.
Can you let me know if there is a more simple workaround?
Thank you in advance,
Dan Cretu
EMEA ATG team

I had faced similar issue earlier. I just copied the VO query(and all necessary information) and removed it (deleted) from the project. Upon recreation of the new VO (same name) the issue was resolved.
Not very sure as to why the VO.xml got corrupted in your case, but this solution works.
Thanks

How do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

how do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

You cannot copy content directly from one iPod to another. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you have the following options:
- sync the iPod to your computer, transfer the content to iTunes, and then connect the other iPod and sync from iTunes
- use iCloud (which requires iOS 5).
- download the music from from the iTunes Store to the second iPod. See:

I took a video with my iphone5 and I don't see it on my iPad. Can videos go from one device to another with iCloud?

No. Photo stream only streams photos, not videos. To transfer videos between your devices you can either import them to iTunes and sync them, or (more conveniently) use an app like PhotoSync or Bump.
