How do I transfer data from an iMac to a new Mac laptop?

You'll be given the option to do so while setting the new Mac up; it can be done from an external drive or through Ethernet, FireWire/Thunderbolt, or wirelessly.

I saw in another post where it doesn't come with the caddy and cable, but I can't find that post now.
Here's instructions on how to do it and if you click on "home" at the top and use the search on the right, the caddy and cable will come up for sale. 38.55 is the price. I don't know whether hp has it or not, I think that was a problem on the other post as well.

Can I configure a new imac with separate ssd and hd

    I don't know for sure if it's been announced so this information may not be out there and I realize we are not supposed to speculate. Havinvg said that can anyone comment on whether it will be possible to configure a new iMac with both and SSD and HD drive without using a fusion drive?
   For video editing I don't think I want a fusion drive. I'm either going to get a refurb soon or wait ... and the whole fusion thing is such an unknown for video editing. If I order without more vid editing information with regard to a fusion drive I'd probably want an SSD boot and internal.... I'd use my externals for most work but an ssd plus internal hd would be nice.
   thoughts?

Based on the tech specs here, it appears the 27" iMac has one space for hard drive, fusion drive, or SSD, which are orderable on a build-to-order system.

Transfer data from old iMac to new iMac

Wish to transfer all data EXCEPT iTunes from old iMac (500 GB) to new iMac (2 TB). Have read this is possible using Firewire connection, is this possible, if so what is the procedure, and how long does it take?
Is another method preferable in terms of speed ?
What to do about 1TB Timecapsule, which is also on our WLAN. Can it be used to back up a subset of data on the new iMac?
Thanks
Biermatt

I don't believe Migration Assistant provides the option to exclude iTunes. If you have iTunes files you wish to preserve on the new iMac, and enough free disk space the new iMac, you could:
1) Rename the Music/iTunes folder on the new iMac to something like Music/iTunes_original
2) Run the migration.
2) Remove the iTunes folder on the new iMac
3) Rename the iTunes_original to iTunes on the new iMac
You will find Migration Assistant in Applications > Utilities. Duration depends on how much data you have and speed of hard drives, etc.

New imac with 256 ssd and 1TB HD want OS leopard and lion.

I want my new imac to be able to boot into leopard or lion. Should I partition the SSD or install the second OS on the second HD (1TB HD). I have plenty of room on both since I don't tend to store much on the HDs.
I haven't received the imac yet so I'm not sure if it will come preloaded with Lion.

Well, if it comes with Lion preinstalled, then you will most likely not be able to boot into Snow Leopard. The point is that no Mac can boot an OS older than what it came with: notable exceptions would be Macs that are manufactured right around the time of a new OS release; in those cases, it may or may not be possible. It would depend on the machine and OS builds - you would have to ask Apple if it would be possible in your case.
If you ordered a refurb from the Apple store, then when was it manufactured? And, they do show which OS is loaded on that page.

How do i transfer data from my old imac to my new macbook pro?, how do i transfer data from my old imac to my new macbook pro?

HOW DO I TRANSFER DATA FROM MY IMAC TO MY NEW MACBOOK PRO? I tried it with an ethernet cable and it seems to go OK till it gets to applications. From there the time it takes to complete seems to increase rather than decrease!

That's the easiest way, this side of using Time Machine. The time it takes to transfer files between our computers ka vary but while doing it on my MBP I had to leave it plugged in for near 24 hours and it was supposed to take 3.

Unless he is able to

Yes
Can anyone tell me if Apples are really superior to
PCs in graphics?
For video and graphical work, Macs are generally considered to be the industry standard and what you would work on in the graphics industry.
I also would like to know if Apples
are reliable--
I have used ten or more Macs in our office over the last five years and are still using them all today and all have worked fine.
how easy are they to install things
like additional RAM, etc--
Depends on the model some are easier than others, the PowerMac was very very easy, others are more complex.
how is Apples
support---
Applecare has a good reputation and most people recommend Applecare.
how does the Apple OS compare to Windows???
It is not so much a situation of which is better they are different.
Personally as someone who uses both on a daily basis more and more I prefer using OS X.
I do understand that Windows has a lot of
negatives--virus's --loopholes--etc.
Which is something which is less of an issue on the Mac.
Has anyone an idea if an Apple can be assembled at
home??
No
I would really like to save some money on an
Apple, if there is a way.
Buy a secondhand Mac, but for high-end graphical work you would need a decent Mac.
One thing that people often forget is how long Macs last.
I got my PowerMac in 2003 and it is still a really fast computer and I am expecting it to last another three years or more as my main computer.

Receive POST data from another URL and process using Struts

Hi there
We have a website and as of now we are receiving some data from another URL which is received as an appended part of the URL. My application uses Struts and we process the received data and send back a response.
Now my question is, I have been asked to change this behavior because there are more parameters now which cannot be passed through the URL. I am supposed to get the data from the other URL as POST data (as a form) and I have to create a new Struts action to receive this data, process it and send the response back to the requesting URL.
Please explain me how to do this using some example code snippets.
Thanks a lot

Lookup in XI is used to call the target data storage system and get data from there to your mapping programme.
In XI you can do Lookup in Message Mapping, Java Mapping and in XSLT Mapping. Previously Lookup in XI was system dependent. But now what ever the system are i.e. SAP system or non-sap system(Oracle,MS SQL etc) lookup API are same.
Overview of Lookup
- Lookups are used to identify/request the data from mapping program.
- It interrupt the process and looking for data which was stored in target system.
- It get that data and comeback to process and continue with that data.
Types of Lookups in XI
- JDBC Lookup: JDBC lookup is used for accessing data from database (non SAP).
- RFC Lookup: RFC lookup is used for accessing the SAP Data.
- SOAP Lookup: SOAP lookup is used for accessing data from Webservice
Steps to perform Lookup in Mapping
Import package com.sap.aii.mapping.lookup.*;
Create connection to the target Database system.
// Determine communication channel created in ID
Channel channel = null;
channel = LookupService.getChannel("DB-SYSTEM-NAME","DB-CHANNEL-NAME");
// Get system accessor for the channel.
DataBaseAccessor accessor = null;
accessor = LookupService.getDataBaseAccessor(channel);
Build the Query String.
Getting Result
// Execute Query and get the values.
DataBaseResult resultSet = null;
resultSet = accessor.execute(Query);

Hi I have just bought a new Mac Book Pro 15" Retina display with 256 SSD and 8G RAM. I had my info transferred form my Previous Mac Book Pro late 2011 to this machine. When trying to download Mavericks it says it cannot be loaded onto this machine? Strange as I have just downloaded Pages, Numbers and Keynote...free? Thanks and Regards

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got OS X Mavericks installed (the Keynote, Pages and Numbers versions available in the Mac App Store are only compatible with OS X Mavericks).
You have got a Late 2013 MacBook Pro, which uses a special OS X Mavericks version that is not available in the Mac App Store. This is the reason why the Mac App Store is not compatible with OS X Mavericks even if you are using it. This will be fixed in OS X 10.9.1, when your Mac uses the same Mavericks version as all other Macs.
Until then, you can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

New iMac: System on SSD, Users on HDD?

I'm setting up a newly purchased iMac, one which has two storage devices, the 256GB SSD and a 2TB HDD. I want to transfer user data from an old machine (an old Power Mac), but there won't be enough room on the SSD to contain all of the user data.
What is the best way to configure the machine so that when I do a data migration, everything will be in its proper place?
Ideally, I would want to have /Users on the HDD and most everything else on the SSD. However, it doesn't look like Snow Leopard supports this directly (i.e., I don't see anything in Disk Utility to set something like this up). I've seen some answers on the web about removing the /Users folder and replacing it with a soft link to a folder on the second volume. Will this work, and is it recommended? Are there better ways to accomplish my desire?
Thanks for any and all advice!

I have the same configuration (altho I have a 1TB HDD). I was able to configure the SSD and HDD fairly simply. My SSD currently contains my OS and Apps. The HDD contains my "users" folder and all data. Here are the step by step instructions.
NOTE 1: I would recommend you follow these instructions PRIOR to migrating your data from your old imac/macbook/macmini. However, I would assume these instructions would still work if you already migrated your data over.
NOTE 2: Don't forget to have all the software updates already installed on your macs before starting.
SECTION 1: Move Home Folder to HDD
1. Click on ‘Macintosh HD’ in the Finder and open the ‘Users’ folder. In here you will find a folder named after your shortname. This is your home folder. As it is currently your active home folder it will have a ‘house’ icon assigned to it. Copy this folder to the 2nd hardrive by simply dragging it. (The copied folder will not have the ‘house’ icon as it is not yet recognized as your active home folder. We will change this in the following steps.)
2. Open the ‘System Preferences’ application from either the Dock, the Applications folder or from the Apple menu.
3. Click on the ‘Accounts’ icon in the ‘System’ section.
4. After entering your password to unlock the padlock, CTL-Click (or right click) on the active admin account (from the list of user accounts in the left pane) to reveal an ‘Advanced Options’ contextual menu. Select this item.
5. You will be presented with a pane full of advanced settings (and also a warning about how you should only change these settings if you know what you are doing!). Ignore all of these settings/fields except for the ‘Home Directory’ option. This is the path that OS X uses to locate your home folder when you login. It should say: /Users/shortname
6. Click on the ‘Choose’ button, and browse to the home folder in the new location (this will be the folder you moved in Step 1 which will be named after your shortname). After you select the new location, the ‘Home directory’ path should change to something like: /Volumes/shortname.
7. OS X will continue to use the original home folder until you restart. So restart the computer and login as normal. To confirm that the new home folder is now active, browse to the folder you copied to the 2nd hardrive and check it has the ‘house’ icon assigned to it. Now that your home folder is successfully located on your 2nd drive, you can delete the original home folder in the Users folder. It should now have a generic folder icon as it is no longer the active home folder.
SECTION 2: Migrating Your Apps From Old Mac
1. I used Migration Assistant (via firewire) and ONLY migrated the Apps. This copied everything over to the SSD seamlessly.
SECTION 3: Migrating Your Data
1. This part is more painstaking as you will need to mainly drag and drop your files from your old mac via Target Disk mode. Once again, I used firewire to do this.
Note: I basically just copied each of the "users" folders' data on my old imac individually to the respective new "users" folders on my new imac (i.e. the one you created in the HDD). Depending on how much data you have will determine how long this takes you.
2. Here is the link for the instructions on how to perform the Target Disk mode transfer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
You should be all set and your new imac should be johnny f*n blaze now!

Can I partition 256gb ssd and 1tb hard drive to be split 50 / 50 for Mac OS and windows?

I am going to buy a new iMac. The question is which storage option? If I get the 256GB ssd and the 1TB option, it appears the mac OS is pre installed on the ssd which is great. I would then like to install windows 7 on the ssd using bootcamp, and partitioning the ssd to be half for mac and half windows. I think this is the best thing to do... Correct? My main concern is then can I also split the 1 TB hard drive as well? Ideally I would like to split both drives 50 / 50, install the operating systems and software on the ssd and use the hard drive as general storage. I have read mixed reports on the possibilities of this and would really appreciate your help and advice. I am not that technical and would like to avoid using third party software, and stick to bootcamp if possible.
Thanks all!

I suggest you open Boot Camp Assistant and click on the button to print the documentation. Read it carefully before using BCA. BCA only creates the partition. It does not format it. That is done with the Windows installer at the beginning of the Windows installation.
Although Windows can r/w NTFS volumes OS X can only read them. That means you can copy files from the Windows boot volume but not write files to it. If you need to move files to and from the Windows system you would use the data volume you will set up on the HDD. If you don't need to use files larger than 4 GBs in Windows then FAT32 is fine. Using ExFAT would only be advisable if you anticipate the need to handle files larger than the 4 GB limit of FAT32.

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!
