Need to move iChat buddies from 10.5 server to 10.6 server

How can I export/import buddies from a Leopard server to a Snow Leopard server? We are moving our iChat service off a server that is scheduled to retire and I'd like our users to not go through the pain of re-adding their buddies again.

Hi,
Welcome to the    Discussions
10.5 Server and specifically iChat Server has it's own forum
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1235 (for Export)
10.6 Server has Forum called Collaboration Services for iChat Server (And a few other bits)
The Forums are within Categories.
Technically each is within it's own OS Category but Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard are all shown in this "Master Category" here
The reason I am posting these links is that I don't know enough about the Server version of iChat.
The chances are that someone in the 10.6 Server > Collaboration Services forum knows how to Export the list from 10.5 Server and input it in to 10.6 Server.
Hope this helps.

  • I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created?

    I need to move 1000 photos from one library to another. How do I do that and keep the ratings and dates they were created? I tried exporting them, but it loses all info. Also, how do I move the quicktime movies from one iphoto library to another? They were exported as jpgs

    Add both libraries to iPhoto Library Manager.  Then select the events or albums that you want to copy from library A  and drag them to library B in iPLM.

  • HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

    I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • JAVA, sqlserver - Need to load an image from the sql server database

    hi,
    I need to load an image from the sql server database using java. I have connected to the database and getting all other records except the records for a photo (datatype = LONGVARBINARY) and Remarks (datatype = LONGVARCHAR).
    I am using java and sql server db. The photo and remarks are stored in the db. and i need to show the image and the remarks fetching them from there.
    I get the error :
    Thread-9 org.hibernate.MappingException: No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: -1
    How can I achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Gargi

    Exactly. And are you using MySQL?
    No. You are using Microsoft SQL server if I have to believe your initial post. A quick google tells me that the dialect class to use is:
    org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect

  • Hi, just got a new computer and need to move my library from the old one to the new one.  Does anyone know how to do this or where I can get the information?  Thanks!!

    I just got a new computer and need to move my itunes library from my old computer to the new computer.  Does anyone know how to do this or where I can get the information? Thanks!

    If you Google ipod nano 6th generation manual, you can download the PDF manual. Here's a quote from page 19:
    Transfer purchased content to another computer:
    1 Open iTunes on the other computer and choose Store > Authorize This Computer.
    2 Connect iPod nano to the newly authorized computer.
    3 In iTunes, choose File > Transfer Purchases from iPod.
    Songs that are not from the iTunes store can be copied to the new computer, and you just have to do File>Add to Library to get them into iTunes. And if you don't plan to continue using your old computer, you should deauthorize it because you only get 5 authorizations for iTunes store purchases, and this will cancel out the authorization on the old computer.

  • Move Protection Group from One DPM server to another DPM server

    Hi Mike,
    Can we move Protection Group from one DPM 2012 SP1 to another DPM 2012 R2 version? If yes then what is the steps to perform that. Also i am running DPM servers with co-located and non-colocated configuration. What would be best as per best practice? Because
    my 95% backup are SQL backups.

    Hi,
    There are no provisions in DPM to move protection groups or protected data sources to a new DPM server and maintain the recovery points.  The best you can do is to stop protection on DPM1 and retain the replica, then run the setdpmserver.exe on the
    protected server and point it the DPM2 server. On DPM2, run the attach-productionserver.ps1 script to establish agent communications, then make new protection groups and re-protect the same data sources.  After the retention goals are met, delete
    the replica from under inactive protection group on DPM1.

  • Move Virtual Machine from Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Hyper-V Server 2012 fails with Error 2901

    I have six Hyper-V 2008 R2 SP1 servers and two Hyper-V 2012 servers. I am running SCVMM 2012 SP1. I am trying to use "move virtual machine" from within SCVMM to move VMs from a 2008 host to a 2012 host. I have tried different VMs on different hosts
    and they all fail with this error:
    ==========
    Error (2901)
    The operation did not complete successfully because of a parameter or call sequence that is not valid.
    The parameter is incorrect (0x80070057)
    Recommended Action
    Ensure that the parameters are valid, and then try the operation again.
    ==========
    I have successfully created a VM on one of the 2012 hosts and moved it to the other 2012 hosts.  I can move VMs from 2008 host to 2008 host.  I just cannot move VMs from 2008 host to 2012 host.
    Does SCVMM 2012 SP1 not support moving VMs from Hyper-V 2008 to Hyper-V 2012?

    Hello Kevin,
    Have you got an resolution yet ? Do you have latest update roll up pack applied to SCVMM 2012 SP1?
    With SCVMM 2012 SP1  " Running VMs (Live Migartion) and VMs which are in Saved state or having checkpoints can not be migrated from 2008R2 host to 2012 Host " 
    above was fixed in SCVMM 2012 Update Roll up 1
    Apart this please check the approx. size of data (VHDs) which will get transferred over the network , If you have large files chances are more to get such errors.
    Thanks

  • Need to move iTunes library from external hard drive to Mac desktop.

    I moved my iTunes library from my Mac desktop to an external hard drive. I needed to do this so the Apple Store could do maintenance work on my computer and I didn't want to lose my files. How do I move the iTunes library back to my Mac desktop?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Need to move podcast feed from MobileMe hosting to DreamHost

    I apologize if this has been covered, I could not find anything on the forum however to help. I currently host a podcast through MobileMe. I've created the podcast site through GarageBand/iWeb. I want to continue using the iWeb site, but host it on DreamHost (for reasons of disk space, etc). I have purchased a new domain name (talesfromthemousehouse.com) from DreamHost and wish to "migrate" the iWeb site to this new domain. Plus, I want to move the podcast feed along with it, so that all my old episodes etc goes to the new host, and the only thing my listeners will notice is that the site has a new address (www.talesfromthemousehouse.com). Now...I've yet to find anyone or anything that can properly help me, including Apple support. What I thought should be an easy task has turned out to be quite a nightmare. My podcast feed is: http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
    Can anyone help? I know that (from the Apple podcast documentation), I need to insert some code <itunes:new-feed> or something, but WHERE? Nothing tells me HOW to access the stuff to edit in iWeb/MobileMe. I would love to get this done as soon as possible, any and all help is appreciated. Thanks! Al

    I'm working with fairly minimal information here: as I understand it your original feed was
    http://web.me.com/alkessel/Site_3/Podcast/rss.xml
    This feed does not contain the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag. Did you put a tag in it and then remove it?
    iTunes shows your podcast in the Store at
    http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/tales-from-the-mouse-house/id371928528
    However it's looking for a feed at http://talescast.com/ so presumably this is the URL you entered in the redirect tag?
    However, it's not a feed - it's the Personal Domain referral to your web page at
    http://talescast.com/Site_4/Home.html
    As this is a web page and not a feed, iTunes can't read it. You have now painted yourself into a corner: as you need to enter the redirect tag in a feed to get iTunes to redirect, and iTunes can't read a feed at the UTRL you gave it, you can't redirect it.
    You now have only two options. The first is to abandon the old feed altogether. You should get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.
    The other option is somewhat uncertain. iTunes Support is notoriously unhelpful, often sending back form answers which often don't deal with the actual problem, or referring the questioner to the Discussions Forum (which may have sent the questioner there in the first place): however it has been known for someone to persuade Support to shift their podcast to a new URL, so it's worth trying. It's probably just a matter of luck who you get. To contact iTunes Support, go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'.

  • I need to move my itunes from an old pc to a new one. How do I move the library

    I am moving my itunes operation from an old XP pc to a newer Vista laptop.  I have backed up my library to an external hard drive.  I have downloaded the current version of Itunes on the new pc and now need to populate it with my itunes library.  What is the easiest way to do that? I don't want to take a chance in losing any music.

    This is the process I usually recommend.
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    If you've done the backup properly, delete any existing empty iTunes library that has already been made then copy in the entire iTunes folder from the external drive into your profile's music folder. Start iTunes. It should "just work" with no need to import anything.

  • I need to move my files from my imac to the cloud to free up my hard drive?

    I have 1gb ram 320gb hard drive thats full what is the easiest way for a person to move files i.e. music, pics ...... to free up my hard drive and possible to expand the ram to 2gb?
    I'am a novice at computers but want to learn.

    Plug in an external hard drive and start moving things you don't need always available onto that hard drive.
    To upgrade the RAM, go to Crucial, Other World Computing, or MemoryTen and use their configurator to determine the type of RAM you can use. 
    Here is Apple's documentation on installing it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423
