Moving selected portions of aperture database from old powerpc to bookpro

I have a 2005 ish powerpc G5 that I still use. It is a fine computer, getting a bit bogged down as no further updates for products on the G5 architecture.
I finally broke down and got the i7 macbook pro.
it only has a 500 gig hard drive.
my aperture database is 333.5 GB in size. Seeing as I don't want to use the computer for pics only, I'm wondering if I can move just selected portions of the Aperture database over to the laptop.
For example, there are only certain projects I'm working on. I'd like to (finally) get Aperture 3 (cant get for powermac) and continue with the current projects.
I have the aperture database backups and such.
How can I transfer over only certain raw files and certain projects without transferring over the entire database?
Is this possible?
Thanks

Moving Mail, Address Book and Keychains from Old Computer to New Computer

My issue: Moving mail, address book and keychains from Panther (old machine) to Leopard (new machine). Old machine (500mh G4 power pc) will not connect directly via firewire to new machine (iMac intel). So, I have to move the files manually via a firewire hard drive.
I am looking for a document that will tell me exactly which files to move. Can someone please help me find this document? Thank you. Dale
P.S. I have no issues with installing Leopard. I only need to move the mail, address book and keychains from old to new machine. No .mac account is available.

for address book: go to your old mac, launch ab, and go to file>export and export your contacts as vcards, select all cards before that, then bring that export file to the new mac, and launch ab there, then go to file>import as vcards and you should be set as far as contacts are, but not as far as groups if you have extensive groups. that would be the safe option. the other option is to go to homefolder/library/application support/address book and move that folder to the new mac. the only question i have is... is the database structure and files the same between panther and leopard, which is why i suggest the first option of import/export of vcards.
for mail, in your old panther go to homefolder/library/mail and move that mail folder to the new mac. make a copy of that folder, then move one copy to the same location in the new mac.
for keychain, in your old panther go to homefolder/library/keychain, you want to bring the file that is in that folder to your new mac. make a copy of that folder, then move one copy to the same location in the new mac.
once that is done, you may have to do some more steps with mail, once you launch mail, such as importing mailboxes. let me know if that is the case.
hope this helps

How to Recover database from old backup and full archive log file

Hi Oracle expert!
I met problem when restore my oracle database.
In my case:
- My database version: 10.2.0.2
- I have a database full backup (01-Nov)
- I have all Archived log file from (01-Nov -> 05-Nov)
- My database drop in 05-Nov with disk error (no datafile, no redo..).
- I have no any RMAN backup from (01-Nov -> 05-Nov)
How can i restore my database to 05-Nov?
Thanks

Hi Chinar.
When i used RMAN flow as your step, but i met the problem!
- After recover database i select sequence#, applied from v$archived_log;
--> it apply newest archived log that i had.
- but when I select Data from table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov, it not found!
Not the same way the step:
SQL> RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL?
It apply newest the same archived log i had table created between 01-Nov to 05-Nov.
How can i do with RMAN to recover my table?That is not possible,if your all available archive logs applied using rman or through sqlplus(recover database using backup controlfile until cancel) and one of these logs contain your table then there are not any problems.So there are not any difference between recovery using rman and user managed(using sqlplus),but there main matter is applying all archive logs.So first check through rman list copy of archivelog all or list backup of archivelog all and identify there in rman repository is any information or not about these logs.

HT4007 Migrated Aperture 3 from old Mac to new Mac - it will not Register correctly, and asks for product codes when started

I've migrated software from my old Macbook Pro to my New Macbook Pro Retina and the process went ok, except for Aperture 3, It asks for the product codes when started, after 5 starts it asks for Registration details, which I've completed, but on the next start it asks for the product codes again - it is still working correctly on the orginal machine, and shows it is Licensed to me etc - but on the new Mac there is no License information - I should be able to run the software on both machines - anyone any ideas - I've got the original Aperture 2/3 discs so I can install from scratch, but that seems to defeat the whole process of Migration Assitant -

Hi Guys - looking through other threads I've used the method suggested by Frank Caggiano on Dec16 2011 - it worked a treat - thanks Frank

Restoring Aperture Database from Vault a Nightmare

When my Aperture HD went south with the database of 90,000 images I imediately bought another 1.5 TB drive and started the restore from the Vault expecting to be able to use Aperture as before. It took 24 hours to restore the database. Now I can go back to work I thought. NO. Every Aperture thumbnail in every album has to rebuild when you want to use it. So the smooth experience of using my original database is now a nightmare of stop and go and wait for a rebuild. So the Vault is really is only a partial solution to an Aperture backup. This is totally not an acceptable solution for someone running a business.
Has anyone found any better solutions or has anyone experienced a rebuild of a large database?
Thanks,
Stan

When my Aperture HD went south with the database of
90,000 images I imediately bought another 1.5 TB
drive and started the restore from the Vault
expecting to be able to use Aperture as before. It
took 24 hours to restore the database. Now I can go
back to work I thought. NO. Every Aperture thumbnail
in every album has to rebuild when you want to use
it. So the smooth experience of using my original
database is now a nightmare of stop and go and wait
for a rebuild.
One way to make that go smoother is to go in turn to each project in Aperture and click on it - that will force Aperture to try and see all files and in turn start rebuilding all of the thumbnails for that project. I think you just need to click, wait a second or two for Aperture to catch on, and then you can click on another project - then you can resume using images in albums after and it'll not be doing a thumbnail rebuild per image.
A few longer term solutions if you'd like never to have that problem again:
1) Mirrored drives. If you have mirrored drives and one drive dies, you still have one left. You'd still need to do vaults on yet another drive as mirroring is not really the same as a backup (it replicates mistakes as well as work), but it would make it much less likley you'd need to use the vault.
2) Backup library. If you really want to also backup the thumbnails then either manually backing up the whole library or just stuff within the library would work. If you export projects I believe it also strips the thumbnails but if you just go into the Aperture library and copy them out it keeps everything.

Best way to migrate Aperture version from old imac

Hi,
What is the best way when you want to upgrade from Aperture V2 to Aperture V3 with a new one imac ?
I have an imac with Aperture V2 and i want to buy a new imac and migrate in the same time to Aperture 3.
Do i ask to pre-install Aperture 3 in the new imac , and do a migration after from the old one imac to the new one,
Or, no pre-install, migrate to the new imac ( so aperture v2), and after that install Aperture V3 an do the Aperture migration.
Thanks for your help.

You might consider the fact that Aperture from the App Store is cheaper than pre-installed.
You can copy your A2 library over to the new computer and then open with A3 to upgrade.

Moving portal database from NT to HP-UX

I am moving an existing 9iAS portal database from NT to HP-UX. 9iAS was already installed on HP-UX and is being used for a forms server and reports server. Do I need to do anything else but simply create a new database and export from NT and import onto HP?

Hi,
You can make use of the Heterogeneous System copy tool available on SMP for this purpose. You will also find a pdf guide for the same.

How do I move my PlayLists from old to new Mac?

Just got a new Mac with Lion on it.
I have moved my iTunes Library collection over from old computer to new one.
But, how can I move all my old 'PlayLists' from my other machine to my new one as I don't want to spend days re-making them all?
Thanks

The iTunes Library.itl file is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created is lost.
Find the file on your old Mac and copy it to your new Mac.

Convert RAW Files in Your Aperture Database to Adobe DNG Files

The following describes how to convert all the RAW images in your Aperture database from manufacturer formats, such as Sony's ARW and Canon's CR2, to Adobe's DNG while retaining all the Adjustments already applied to your RAW files. In the example below I am assuming that your Aperture Library has ARW and CR2 files. These steps work with the latest version of Aperture, being Version 3.3, and have not been tested with earlier versions (in fact, it probably will not work because the database structure changed in 3.3 - however, this means that the steps below can also be applied to your iPhoto library). The steps are:
1. Within Finder select the Aperture Library and Secondary Click to bring up the Shortcut Menu. From this select "Show Package Contents"; this will open a Window showing all the files/directories contained within your Aperture Library.
2. Drag the "Masters" folder out of the Package and place it on your Desktop. The purpose of this step is so that Applications, such as Adobe DNG Converter, can "see" the "Masters" folder, which they cannot do if it is located within the Aperture Library Package.
3. Run the Adobe DNG Converter, select the above "Masters" folder with the "Select Folder" button, make sure you have selected the option "Save in the Same Location", it is also a good idea to select the option "Skip source image if the destination already exists", check your Preferences then select the "Convert" button.
4. Adobe DNG Converter will now convert all the RAW files to Adobe DNG files and save them in the same location as your existing RAW files. Once complete, take a note of (a) the number of files converted and (b) the types of files converted, such as if the conversion includes ARW, CR2, NEF files etc. In this example I will assume that the converter only found ARW and CR2 files; if your system is different then modify the steps below to make sure it covers all the RAW file types converted in your particular system.
5. Select the "Masters" folder and in the Finder Window Search Field search for all the files that end in .ARW and .CR2 (this filename search list should match the types of files found by the Adobe DNG Converter in step (4)(b) above). The number of files returned by the search must match the number of files recorded by the Adobe DNG Converter in step (4)(a) above. Do NOT put the .DNG files in your search criteria. Select all the files found in the search and move them to the Trash. This will delete all the original manufacturer's RAW files from your Aperture Library leaving behind all the new DNG files.
6. Move the "Masters" folder on your Desktop back to the root directory of the Aperture Library Package Content directory.
7. Select the Finder Window containing the Aperture Library Package Contents.
8. If there is a file called "ApertureData.xml" then open it with a text editor. Search and Replace ".arw" with ".dng", ".ARW" with ".DNG", ".cr2" with ".dng" and ".CR2" with ".DNG" (note, do not use the " marks in your search). Make sure you cover all the file types incorporated in your particular system. Save the "ApertureData.xml" file.
9. Traverse to the Database/apdb directory. Select the "BigBlobs.apdb" file and open it with a Hex editor. In this example I will use Hex Fiend by Ridiculous Fish (see http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/). Once the file is open perform a Find and Replace ensuring you are finding and replacing Text and not Hex. In Hex Fiend this means selecting Edit/Find from the menu and then selecting the "Text" button to the top/left of the window. In your Find/Replace field you will need to find ".arw" and replace it with ".dng", make sure you select "Replace All" (note, do not use the " marks in your search). Do exactly the same for ".ARW" with ".DNG", ".cr2" with ".dng" and ".CR2" with ".DNG" (and whatever particular RAW files were in your system).
10. Perform exactly the same steps in (9) for the files "History.apdb", "ImageProxies.apdb", "Library.apdb" and "Properties.apdb".
That is it, your Aperture Library now contains DNG files instead of your original manufacturer files while still retaining all the Adjustments originally made in Aperture to those manufacturer files. Of course, you can repeat the same step and replace your DNG files with the original RAW manufacturer files if you wish. This process works because:
1. Aperture does not store the Adjustments in the RAW files, it keeps these in its internal SQLite database.
2. By using a Hex Editor you (a) don't have to play with SQLite to gain access to Aperture's data and (b) because you are replacing text that has exactly the same number of characters you are not invalidating the format of the underlying data file - this is why you use a Hex Editor instead of a simple text editor.
Think of Aperture as being a repository that holds Adjustments which then link to the original RAW source. Therefore, the above process simply replaces your RAW source and therefore all the Aperture Adjustments are still valid; same Adjustments, new source. In case you ask, no, you cannot transfer Adjustments in and out of Aperture because there is no standard to transform adjustments between different photographic applications.

A rather involved method, David.
I am sure it works, and compliments for figuring it out, but I think one critical step is missing in your workflow: Before you begin - backup, backup, backup!
And I think, all the edits in your database that you are doing so diligently, is what you bought Aperture for to do for you, why do it yourself?
I convert selected raw files this way - without manually patching the Aperture Library:
Export the originals of the raw images that I want to convert.
Run dng-converter.
Import the converted originals back, flag them, and move them to the project they came from.
Sort the project by capture date, so that identical images are show side by side.
Then I use the Lift&Stamp tool to transfer all adjustments and tags from the original raw to the dng copy. I check, if some edits are left to do, then delete the original.
It may take a little longer than your method, but this way all edits in the library are done by Aperture, and I am protected from accidental slips when editing the property list files. That requires a very careful work.
Patching the database files inside the library may be justified as a last ressort, when you need to fix and recue a broken Aperture library, and none of the provided tools is working, but not as a routine operation to do batch conversion of image files. It is very error prone. One wrong entry in the library files and your Aperture Library may be unreadable.

Server migration, build template tries to be obtained from old server

I migrated our organisations instance of TFS, new install on a new server and migrated the database over to the new environment, all went well and were now using the new server and source control/tasks are working as expected, however, the builds on the
other hand have not.
Reference: Old server srv-systest:8080/tfs new server srv-tfs:8080/tfs
I created a new build server on the new TSF server and some agents and set up new build definitions however, whenever a build runs, it errors with this:
Other Errors and Warnings

Any ideas?

Hi CRABAPPLES,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the versions of your two TFS Servers, both are TFS 2013 Update 4?
How did you migrated old TFS database to the new installed TFS Server? (if have installed the new TFS Server, and want move collections from old TFS Server to new TFS Server, you should Detach collection in old TFS Server, then backup collection databases
from old TFS SQL Server, and restore to new TFS SQL Server, then Attach the collection databases in new TFS Admin Console)
This Development collection is your old TFS Server collection? Not migrated to new TFS Server?
In your current new build definition>>Process tab, selected the
Default Template in Build process file dropdown list, then click
Download, the default TfvcTemplate.12.xaml can be downloaded successfully? If yes, we suggest you manually create a
BuildProcessTemplates folder in your current team project Source Control, and add/check-in this downloaded TfvcTemplate.12.xaml build template into this
BuildProcessTemplates folder, then in build definition>>Process tab, in
Build process template section, click New… button to add this TfvcTemplate.12.xaml from your team project>>
BuildProcessTemplates folder, then save build definition and queue it again.

Migration databases from one server to another

Hi All
I want to migrate our 8 production databases from one server to another server. these are in RAC .Details are below
OLD SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 3
ORACLE: ORACLE 10gR1
FILE SYSTEM : OCFS
STORAGE: SAN
Its a RAC databases
NEW SERVER: -
OS: REDHAT LINUX 5
ORACLE: ORACLE 11g R2
FILE SYSTEM:ASM
STORAGE:SAN ( fresh one)
Its also RAC DATABASES
So please tell me the best method to migrate 8 databases from old server to another server . all databases size are not more than 50 GB.
All servers details are above .please let me know if you require any other details
please reply soon we have to do it on urgent basis

Since all your databases are small (< 50G), I would recommend using expdp/impdp - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17222/expimp.htm - as this will provide several advantages as listed in the document.

Duplicate after importing iTunes from old to new system

Justy upraded to a MacBookPro and moved my iTunes library (media + playlist) from old windows notebook. After importing I have duplicates songs and playlist. I followed the instructions provided on this forum for exporting/importing only the media files and playlist. My library is very large and removing individual songs/playlist would be time comsuming. Anotyher twisty is some songs are he same but with a different artist. Any suggestions. Koyangie

If you are a resident of the U.S. and have iTunes 10.3 or later installed on the new computer, you can re download your iTunes purchases for free without having to import.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Make sure and use the same Apple ID as on the prior computer.
On the new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer before trying re download your purchases.

Import Database from ver.8i to 8.05

Can I import Database from old version to new version (like from ver. 8i to 8.05)?
If it can, how ?

Yes you can do import from old version to new version without any problem. However new version to old version has some restrictions. You cannot import the export file taken in 8i into 8. In this case you have to take export using oracle 8.0 export utility.

Transferring 3 SQL databases from both SQL Express 2005 and Standard to a new physical server

I am trying to figure out the best method for transferring SQL 2005 databases from 2 different physical servers to a new server running windows server 2008 64bit.
I own a fully registered copy of Microsoft SQL 2005 32bit Standard Edition. However all of my SQL databases together are only 4GB in size thereby making 2008 SQL Express an option.
Here is the breakdown of the servers:
1) (Old Server1) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Express 2005 32bit
2) (Old Server2) Windows 2003 Server 32bit - SQL Server 2005 32bit Standard
3) (New Server) Windows 2008 Server 64bit - (Not sure which version to install)
**The objective is to migrate 2 SQL databases from Old Server1 and 1 SQL database from Old Server 2 to the New Server. What version should I install on the new server??? Do I go with 2008 express or install the 2005 Standard Edition?
Pending your response to which version to install, what are the correct steps to migrate (which I have never done before) the databases from both of these servers to the new server?
I have researched this online and I think this particular situation is unique in that I am transferring from both SQL Express and Standard from 2 different physical servers to a 2008 server that is 64bit. I cannot find anything online that I feel confident
in trying. Please help me, as I have this migration deadline of this weekend. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
You may choose between using backup/restore or using detach/attach methods to migrate the databases.

You can transfer logins using the following article.

To decide if you migrate to Express Edition or to another edition, please review the features supported by each edition. For instance, Express Edition does not support jobs (SQL Server Agent is not available).
