Problems transferring data to new Palm handheld

I made two changes at the same time that have resulted in losing most of my Palm data: 1) My computer was rebuilt to resolve several problems, 2) I hope to transfer my PDA data from my old m105 to a Tungsten E.
After the rebuild, the newer Tungsten PDA includes only calendar data, none of the contact or other info. I do not want to lose this data. Before the rebuild, the Palm files were backed up but the techie who did it says that the rest of the data is gone. I have until the batteries on my old PDA die to resolve this problem. Can anyone help?

Just to add that I don't understand why in the forums people always talk about superduper or carbon cloner, without mentioning LaCie's Silverkeeper. I'm sure the two mentioned must be good for peopel to mention them, but both are shareware. I bought a new external drive for my mini a few weeks ago, looked up "backup" in Versiontracker and ended up with the free download of Silverkeeper, like many thousands of others.
It gave me a bootable version of my hard drive in the external partition without any fuss or complicated to-do whatever, and every night now last thing I now backup my complete home folder which it zips through in less than a minute. What more could you want? And it's free!

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
- I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
- My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
- The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
- My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
- Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
Any ideas? If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

Problems transferring data from MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and I am having problems transferring data from my old MacBook Pro. I am using an Apple Thunderbolt to FW adapter to hook both computers and I am using the Migration Assistant. Everything looked ok until the "Transferring Your Information" screen got stuck. It says that it is "Transferring your Application folder..." And it has been stuck for at least the last two hours giving a message that says "About 3 minutes remaining..." This is starting to get ridiculously annoying. Options?

I guess I am finding my own way as time progresses and frustration increases but these are two things that I have found so far:
1. Transfering from one machine to another does not seem to be the most efficient way to do this so using the TimeMachine backup must be the way to go...
HOWEVER
2. In this process I also found another "complication" called: Legacy FaultVault - My computer is encripted and I used this now so called "Legacy FaultVault" app to do it (when it was no a Legacy!). The thing is that you can not transfer documents from your TimeMachine backup to your new Mac if the Legacy Fault Valut is active on your old machine so you first need to desactivate the encription. HOWEVER, this brought another issue...when I tried to desactivate the encription using the Legacy FaultVault screen I got a message saying that I did not have enough disk space to allow me to do that....Isn't that great??? This is a problem by itself and it seems to have some sort of solution I was reading about (not straight forward at all). What I am trying to do now is to copy the folder that contains my files and just paste them on my new machine to see if that works....it looks like my apps are on my new machine, unsure if they are working...need to test this next....
I guess the transfer machine to machine could have sorted out the conflict eventually...after tens of hours or maybe not! Who knows....
A very frustrated Apple fan...
I love Apple products but this is an ISSUE...I feel like there is lack of adecuate documentation around to deal with this or the data transfering apps should be able to deal with this on a more efficient way....just saying...

Problems transferring Backups to new External HD using Disk Utility restore

I'm having issues using Disk Utility to transfer my backups to a new disk.
I am transferring data from a 250GB external harddrive to a new completely zero'ed 1TB Iomega external harddrive. Both Harddrives are connected via USB. On my old 250GB HD i have a few folders containing about 100GB of data (raw video footage) that are not in the "Backups.backupdb" folder.
I follow the tutorial in item 18 of the FAQS on this forum exactly (except i didnt check erase destination) but i get an error message each time after about 3 minutes:
"Could not restore - Operation not permitted"
This is what my log says:

I can see from this that it is having issues with a file in the destination:

This file is in the first Backup i ever made and all subsequent backups. So i went and looked at this backup through the time machine application and deleted this file from the backup and all subsequent backups. However when i then did the restore again i got the same error message and when i looked at the log it was identical except it had issues with a different "AdobeACE.framework" file from another Adobe CS3 program. I dont want to go through and delete all these types of CS3 files from my backups for obvious reasons, i would much rather understand what the issue is and know whether there is a way round it.
It may well be simply because i have not checked the "erase destination" box before restoring but somehow i doubt this is the issue as the new 1TB HD has already been "zero'ed" as explained earlier.
Any help would be appreciated guys.

check the box to erase destination. the fact that you zeroed it out makes no difference. this is a known issue and checking that box was recommended for a reason.

New Palm Handhelds

Are the three handhelds listed under Palm handhelds Vista compliant? None lists Vista?
I have a Palm Zire 72 and it just does not work well with Vista. It will sync but not for pictures....
I am thinking it is just easier to buy a new one, but it does not sound like any are listed to be Vista compliant. Does anyone know before I go buy one...
Thanks for any help.
Post relates to: Zire 72

http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/windesk62.html
This is the link for the supported Vista palm desktop version about midway down the page on the right lists compatible device
Compatible Palm devices:
* Treo 755p , 700p, 680, 650
* Palm TX, Z22
* Tungsten E2
One thing about Vista is that it is a relatively new operating system. This version of palm desktop is still in beta and all devices syncing to vista will be considered in beta. There are things that do not work as users expect but overall things should work fine for the most part.

Transferring data to new (replacement) hard drive using time machine

My MacPro has crashed and after replacing the motherboard with no improvement, Apple thinks I will likely need a new hard drive. The cost of new drive and labor to install it is covered by Apple Care, but not for the technician to transfer to the new hard drive all the software data installed subsequent to purchase.
I have Time Machine on a second hard drive. Assuming that this drive is OK, can I transfer the data myself from Time Machine opened at a point before computer crashed?

Hi V.K., was just reading your instructions for jumper25 about transferring all info to a new HD and had a question. I am in the same situation where i have bought a new 320Gb to replace the OEM 120Gb in my MBP. Everything is very straight forward from what you have posted but i only have the original Tiger 10.4.9 install DVD and I am running Leopard 10.5.5. Will I be able to use my Tiger install disk and then use my TM back up even though it Leopard? Or will I need a Leopard install disk to complete? Also is there another way around this problem if i can not use the Tiger disk such as mirroring the 120Gb disk on to my 320Gb?
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise.

Problem transferring Itunes to new computer

After unsuccessfully trying to use MA to move all of our files from our old G4 to a new Intel MacBookPro (our computers kept freezing up 1/2 way through, I've since read that this isn't the best way to do it) We then tried transferring everything manually via firewire cable and target disk mode but not using MA. This seemed to be working until we got to iTunes. We followed the instructions posted here, Consolidating the library, moving the iTunes music folder and putting it in the exact location on the new computer. Everytime it would seem to be working but after 4.28 g's it would just stop and freeze up. We have about 15 g's to transfer. I keep looking through all these posts trying to see if we missed something but it sure seems we were doing everything correct. We then tried using our iPod as an external drive by enabling disk mode but kept getting a message that there wasn't enough space on the iPod (even though there was) I have since read that even a 20G iPod can't hold more than 4G's in disk mode. Any advice on how to get our 15G of music and movies from the old G4 to the new computer would be appreciated. I don't have an external drive, but would consider buying one if I thought it would help. I'm just afraid I will run into the same problem trying to move it to an ED.

Thanks - but I discovered that my new itunes folder wasn't empty after all, in fact it was full of files that were invisible (not showing in the music folder) from my failed previous attempt. I dragged it to Trash (though didn't empy it), and dragged the properly organized folder from the external drive into the same place at users/username/music. A dialog box immediately came up and I selected "Replace all", which I hope has overwritten all the old data that may be hanging around. At least the music folder now has all the right files in it and the library file is the same. But will this have linked everything properly? Can I just open iTunes now?

Problem transferring project to new new computer

I am having serious issues transferring a Premiere Pro Creative Cloud project from one computer to another but using the same external hard drive. The project and all of its media and associated files are on one USB "My Passport for MAC" external hard drive.
The initial edit was done on a Macbook pro with no problems. But when the project is uploaded onto a new Macbook Pro there are multiple playback issues, Some clips have distorted sound, some clips no sound, some clips play sound from other clips, some clips play no video and no sound.
To reiterate - We are using the same, one, external hard drive.
The original macbook pro is using Premiere CC version 7.2.2 More Reel
The second macbook pro is using Premiere CC version 8.1, Caravan
Any suggestions Dan Saul

There is an error in the iMovie Help. It tells you to drag the Project to the disk icon in the Events, but in fact, you should drag your project to the disk icon in the Project Library section.

Transferring data to new Intel iMac

What is the most efficient way to move files, iTunes music, settings, etc. from my current G5 to a new Intel based iMac? I'm thinking external hard drive but I might be missing something.
Thanks.

Yes, it will ask you if you have another Mac you would like to transfer data from - you will need a firewire cable. [Here's|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1554] some info from Apple.
Hope this helps,

Black screen after transferring data to new Mac

I just migrated data to my new Mac from my old one using the Migration Assistant. The old Mac indicated the transfer was complete, but I can only see a black screen on the new Mac, even after turning it on and off.

The way the link in my last reply said:
Starting up in Safe Mode
Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.

Nokia 6300 - transferring data to new micro sd car...

I recently purchased a Nokia 6300 and I want to swap the supplied memory card for a 2gb Micro SD card.
I was hoping to just copy and paste the data from the standard card that came with the phone but when I tried this, some of the important applications and data did not copy.
I'm sure there's a simple solution!!
Any ideas please??

PC suite is not the right tool for this job. It's not designed to copy the contents of one card to another.
The easiest way to do it is to use a card reader on a pc. Place the old card in the reader making sure you can see hidden system files and copy it's entire contents to a folder on your computer.
Then place the new card in the reader and select all of your files in the folder that you created and copy them to the new card.

Transfering data to new G5

Pardon my ignorance but - I have an iMac G3 and would like
to purchase a new G5 and I was wondering if I could simply
connect the two via the USB port and tranfer files from old to
new.
thanks for your help,
Rick

I would like to transfer OS 9 & OS X files &
applications from my iMac DV 400 to a G5. Before
connecting the two computers via firewire (both
computers have firewire ports), I would like to
ensure that the iMac (in use since 2000) is free of
viruses and other corrupted files/applications before
I connect it to my "pristine" new G5.
As I mentioned earlier, the new G5 asks you if you want to transfer files across. It does this within minutes of turning it on. It automatically loads your files and settings into the new mac so that you don't have to. It doesn't transfer any applications or fonts.
Is there any software out there that I could use on
the iMac to ensure/create a transfer of clean
uncorrupted material to the G5? I'm not a big fan of
Norton Utilities.
If your stuff is corrupted it probably isn't working on the old mac so this is a bit irrelevant. Norton wouldn't uncorrupt a corrupt file anyway.
Also, do I need to re-install all my iMac
applications on the G5 or will transferring them
through filesharing have the same effect? I'm not
sure I still have all the disks available for a
re-install.
Most apps will transfer OK but often their preferences and things they may have put in libraries do not transfer well. A reinstall is generally the best option.
I would like to continue to have an OS 9/OS X
environment on the G5, simply because I have so many
OS 9 files. How do I go about transferring each
environment? Should I create an OS 9 environment on
the G5 and transfer the OS 9 material and then switch
to OS X to transfer the OS X material?
As far as your new mac is concerned, a file is a file. It will transfer windows and linux files given the chance. So transfer the lot in OS X.
There's no such thing as an OS9 environment on a new mac - only Classic.
When you say OS9 files, do you mean files or apps? If an OS9 app is installed it will run should one of its native files be opened - however, if there is an OSX app that will open the file then it will generally start up instead and open it. (not always though!)
Say you have Appleworks 5 files, they will open in AW6 in X, 9 will not be offered as an option. Acrobat files will open in Preview, as will jPegs and various other image files.

Transferring data to new mac without old one

I am in Africa and planning to leave my laptop behind and buy a new one when I return to the US. I want to transfer music, pictures, and some documents on pages to my future mac. I currently have a mac notebook that is about 6 years old and I think the most recent software it has is snow leopard. I do not have a flash drive or external hard drive. I have wifi most of the time but it is ungodly slow and spotty. Is there a way to transfer the data without having both the old and new mac next to each other? I would also prefer to find a way that does not require a flash drive or external hard drive because I would have to ship it here and whether it would get here not broken, not stolen, and within two months before I leave is extremely questionable. Thanks for your help!

Taking out the hard drive is almost as easy as removing he battery! You'll need a small 00 Philips screwdriver and a T8 torx driver to remove the hard drive bracket. Here are instructions. http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Core+2+Duo+Hard+Drive+Replacement/514/1
