New machine with old system disk????

Hi
I've got a first generation Mac Pro and my new 8 core arrives tomorrow. Can I pull out the system disk from the quad core and put it into the new Octo? Will leopard reconfigure itself to work with the new hardware?
Many thanks
Nick

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
No. The license for the quad core machine limits the use of the quad core software to a quad core machine. Secondly, even if you did manage to bypass the restrictions of the firmware of the new machines, the drivers are different, and kernel panics, and non-upgradeable systems may persist afterwards. Macs have always in general can only run the system they shipped with and newer systems up to the limits of their hardware. If you must use an older version of an operating system for a software, find an alternative on:
http://guide.apple.com/
http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/
http://www.macupdate.com/
contact the vendor that is behind on their software development, or buy a used or refurbished Mac * which supports the operating system in question until you can upgrade all your software to be compatible with the operating system that ships with the new Mac. Sell the newer Mac unless you have need for software that will only run on it. Use my Identify your Mac FAQ* to determine the age of the machines you are looking for.

My Windows 7 Professional desktop system hard disk got corrupted and I took the opportunity to install an SSD for a new system disk and reinstall Windows. The system is up and running on the SSD, with my old system disk now used for storage as it is still readable. The only Adobe product I have reinstalled so far is Reader XI but I would like to reinstall Elements 8 and Acrobat 9 without taking up more licences as both are also installed on my laptop. Can you point me to the best way to do this? - Thanks

If you have the two allotted activations already and one was lost on the hard drive that failed then you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.

Moved report server to new machine with all old settings

Dear all,
I am going to moved to new server machine for SSRS and i have 200+ reports ,,

is there simple way?? rather than doing one by one ..

Help me please ??
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
After testing the issue in my environment, we can try to use the RS.exe utility to execute a Reporting Services RSS script that copies content items and settings from one SQL Server Reporting Services report server to another report server.
To achieve this goal, please refer to the following steps:
using the RS.exe utility Download the script file from the CodePlex site
Reporting Services RS.exe script migrates content to a local folder, for example c:\rss\ssrs_migration.rss.
Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
Navigate to the folder containing the ssrs_migration.rss file.
Run the following command to migrate contents from the native mode Sourceserver to the native mode Targetserver:
rs.exe -i ssrs_migration.rss -e Mgmt2010 -s
http://SourceServer/ReportServer -u Domain\User -p password -v ts="http://TargetServer/reportserver" -v tu="Domain\Userser" -v tp="password"
Besides, if the destination report server is SharePoint mode, we can also try to use Reporting Services Migration Tool to achieve your requirement. For more details, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600370.aspx
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Cannot delete Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx from an old system disk

Hi, I am running a Windows 8 64 bit system with the most current version of Flash installed, whatever that is, since I blindly accept whatever update Adobe sends to me. My problem is that I cannot delete the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file from an old system disk where I have deleted everything else in the Windows folder except the Flash32_11_6_602_180.ocx file.
I have seen very similar posts by Krischu on November 27, 2013 "Cannot delete/remove Flash32_11_9_900_117.ocx" and by Gdstuart on January 22, 2014 "How to delete Flash32_11_9_900_170,ocx," and I have tried the "takeown" method and the FileASSASSIN method suggested by MikeM to both of those posts, but my Flash.ocx file just won't go away.
I am the only user of this PC, and my user account describes me as an administrator, but I keep getting the "You need to provide admistrator permission to delete this file" when I try to delete it.
Does anyone know how to delete this file without doing what Krischu did by loading a Ubuntu system?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Well Pat, I definitely do filter what Microsoft tries to load on my system, for example, their insistence in trying to sneak in Bing. Either way, I keep my system up to date constantly.
Do you understand that the file I am dealing with is on a separate disk from my system disk? I don't see any way that the OS would automatically delete files that are not part of the current OS.
I took the disks from my old PC and installed them inside of my new PC. The old system was Windows 7 32 bit, and my new system is Windows 8 64 bit. As I said, there is only one user on my new system, me, and I am the administrator, so there is no "original Windows Administrator password" other than the one that I use every day. The only thing that I can think of is that the file is linked to my old admin user name from the W7 system, but even if that is the case, then why wouldn't the "takeown" method give me ownership?

Getting data from old system disks

My Mac Mini was blown up by a lightning strike. Blew the Ethernet port.
I have a new machine and the drives from the old one. Borrowed a cradle from a friend. The drives mount.
I can see and copy files from folders I made on the drives but the User areas appear to have no files.
There were Images in iPhoto and documents in iBooks.
I am guessing it is a permissions thing...
How can I get my files of off the old system disk?
Thanks
SGC

I doubt this is a permission issue, but if it is, you can resolve it as follows. Select the volume icon in the Finder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your administrator password when prompted. Check the box at the bottom marked
Ignore ownership on this volume
Close the Info window.

HT204074 I have a new machine with a previous installation of Itunes, linked to another Apple ID. Even I authorized the machine to my Apple ID, I can not connecto to the Apple Store. I tried removing Itunes and reinstalling it, but anything changed.

My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Can not register a new machine with Updatemanager

Hi,
I just install a new machine with Solaris 10 using a Flash image and Live Upgrade. The original machine from we create the Flash image was registered succesfull using Update Manager.
Now, when I try to register the new machine, the applications ask me the user and password, but do not makes anything. The dialog freeze. The only way to stop the Update Manager is killing them (at the end is the full java error stack).
I try with sconadm,
sconadm register -a -r /var/tmp/registration.profile
Unsuccessfull too, with the same stack error (Caused by: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: ).
I'm bored with the Solaris patch system: all the weekend was saying error 500 for all my other registered machines, and now I can not register a new machine....
This system fails all the time.. Is runing under W2K3 server???
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.

Well,
The problem was a Memory problem: The swap file was misconfigured. Once the system reboots with the correct swap configuration I was able to register the machine.
Anyway, the problem to connect with SunSolve is continous, but it is other point of discussion.
I hope this solution can help people with similar problems.

Finder hangs on mounting old system disk as a external USB

Ok, I have an old system disk which was in a mac book pro that died, it ran snow leopard. I kept the disk as a storage device in an external enclosure. Up until updating to Mountain Lion I had no problems using the disk, I have removed most of the original OS folders, except User which I was trolling through slowly for old files. I also keep an old iPhoto library there as well. Now since updating to 10.8, whenever I mount that disk finder and just about anything important(system Preferences, Activity monitor, Disk Utility) hang until I must do a hard reboot. What can I do to continue using this disk without erasing it? I have tried to stop spotlight from indexing but like I said, everything hangs with in minutes of mounting this disk. Terminal relaunch commands have no effect on Finder, though it continues to run, as do Safari and Mail.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

I bought my wife an ipad for xmas and the machine is faulty the apple authorised dealer admitted it was faulty and wants to replace my new machine with a factory refurbished unit. I told them that i will only accept a new one? am i right?

i bought my wife an ipad retina for xmas and the machine is faulty, it keeps on switching off. the apple authorised dealer admitted it was faulty and wants to replace my new machine with a factory refurbished unit. I told them that i will only accept a new one as it is only a few weeks old and had the problem from the begining? is it correct that apple replaces new defective products with factory refurbished one? I have used apple products most of my life from mac 2 to G5. I had over a dozen apple machines and never had a problem so far? I do not believe this is right..

I am not a lawyer but i never signed or agreed to any apple policy at the time of purchase, i was told you have a two year guarantee bring it back if anything goes wrong which i did and now i am being quoted all sorts of policies. my own policy is that if you buy new you get new, with no excuses. I feel a bit cheated by apple if i have to compromise with a second hand unit. the unit is not even a month old and we took it to the original store a couple of weeks after it was bought and they sent us to take it to a servicing dept in another town. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service like the products themselves.
No one ever does sign anything - the purchase itself, where you exchange money for the product, is your de facto agreement to all warranties and policies set forth by both the seller and the OEM supplier. That's a pretty firmly established principle of consumer law (image the nightmare if you had to read and sign to such things every time you purchased anything or everything?).
You can complain to the store or to Apple about it if you wish.

Yeah, that worked for me, but it's an indication that some work needs to be done. One needs to AVOID running this as root, and so I think thats going to be the first challenge for the amarok1 maintainer. The ONLY thing we should use root for is the actual installation, not the compilation.
