Question about migration from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2

Hi,
I've 10g 10.1.0.5 installed (by installing some patches).
Now I need 10.2.
Can I reach this with pathches (and which one(s)), or do I have to install from scratch an 10.2 ?
Any reaction will be appreciated.
Leo

Can I reach this with patches No, you have to install the base release of 10.2 and then migrate.

Several questions about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture

I'm currently a heavy iPhoto user and am looking into migrating to Aperture. Can anyone give me a sense of what I to expect if/when I make this switch?
Here are several particular things I'm wondering about:
1. iPhoto works great as a computerized photo album for casual browsing. (I can see a page of different events with mouse-over previews, plus I can hide poorer shots so that I can just view the highlights.) Will Aperture be a step back in this department? If so, is it possible to "share" my Aperture photos with iPhoto without keeping two parallel copies of everything?
2. When I import an edited photo from iPhoto to Aperture, will the iPhoto "original" become the Aperture "original" and the iPhoto "modified" become the Aperture "modified? Is the same true if I export an edited photo from Aperture to iPhoto?
3. Does Aperture have an analog for "hidden" photos? I currently mark my best shot from a series by hiding the rest. Will I lose this marking if I migrate to Aperture or is there a way to preserve it?
4. I currently have a number of short video clips (taken with my point-and-shoot's video feature) mixed in with the iPhoto albums. (iPhoto really does let me keep everything organized in one place!) If I understand correctly, Aperture won't let me store these in my Aperture library alongside the still-photos of the same subjects. Is this correct? If so, how have other people handled this?
5. Do EXIF tags get re-read upon import from iPhoto to Aperture? I've got a number of iPhoto files which I've retroactively geotagged with HoudahGeo. Will the tagging be lost (since iPhoto is not currently aware of the geotagging as the EXIF tags have not been re-read)... or will Aperture now recognize this metadata?
6. If worst-comes-to-worst and I give up on Aperture after a few months, how painful will it be to un-migrate back to iPhoto? More importantly, what album metada (e.g. events, albums, ratings, tags, notes, dates, hidden-ness, links between original and modified versions of a photo, iWeb references, etc.) will be lost? In other words, if I were to import everything from iPhoto to Aperture, wipe my iPhoto library clean, and then export everything back from Aperture to iPhoto, what information will have been destroyed?
Thanks in advance for any answers to this long list of questions!

Here are several observations (read: warnings) in case anyone else is considering migrating a significant iPhoto library to Aperture...
A) Pictures marked as "hidden" appear to be silently skipped over (along with video clips, as was expected) when importing an iPhoto library to Aperture. They do not appear in the relevant Aperture project regardless of the filtering options.
B) Both iPhoto originals and modifieds are imported. The former are given the keyword "iPhoto original" and the latter are given the keyword "iPhoto modified." Each pair of photos is put into a single Aperture "stack." Both photos are given the same tags/ratings (so, for example, the un-rotated, uncropped, poorly balanced original will show up alongside the nice clean "modified" if you were to filter for 5-star images), and both files are given identical "version names" (equal to the "name field" in iPhoto). In most cases the original -- not the modified version -- was set as the stack's "pick" and displayed when the stack was collapsed. *Significantly, I could find no way of creating a view in Aperture that showed one copy of each picture, with the "iphoto modified" version displayed for photos that had been modified in iPhoto and the original version displayed for photos that had never been modified in iPhoto!* (This is, of course, the way they are shown in iPhoto.)
C) My understanding of "stacks" is that they are designed to help organize multiple "tries" at the same shot (e.g., I want to make sure that nobody's eyes are closed in the group photo, so I press the shutter six times in quick succession -- I'm going to pick a "best" one will be mostly interested in that shot from then on). This is a fantastic idea! However things get confusing if you are already using stacks to track original and modified versions (as described above)... particularly if your stack should contain six pictures plus original versions of each. Plus, as I mentioned, the "original" version is usually the default "pick" in each stack.
D) After import, "iPhoto original" versions of portrait photos appear un-rotated. Normally, my cameras (including a Nikon D80, an iPhone, and others) mark photos' orientations and they are automatically displayed in the correct orientation. Aperture appears to consider this auto-rotation an iPhoto edit and helpfully displays the "iPhoto original" always in landscape.
E) Aperture may incorrectly import events whose names contain a "/" or a ".", so if your event names contain dates, rewrite them with "-"s before importing to Aperture.
F) Aperture does have a rough mouse-over-the-icon-to-flip-through view, similar to the "events" pane in iPhoto... although you will lose your choice of which photo serves as the default icon for each event when you import your library from iPhoto, and you cannot "hide" photos from appearing in the flip-through as you can with iPhoto.
G) Perhaps it's my inexperience with the program, but I could find no way to sort the project list by date (vs. alphabetically), nor could I find any way to make a correction to a single photo's date/time.
As a bottom line, remember that Aperture is definitely not "iPhoto Plus." It lacks a number of iPhoto's features, but in exchange gives you a number of really slick tools aimed at streamlining a digital photography workflow.
I'd also encourage people to think very carefully before moving a large, well-organized iPhoto library to Aperture. You may lose a fair amount of information, and the result will take a lot of work to "make pretty" again. It does look like a nice program, though. Are you ready to relegate all of your existing pictures to an iPhoto "pre-history" and start over with a blank -- but much fancier -- slate in Aperture?

Question about migrating from iPhoto to Aperture 3

I have been using the free trial of Aperture 3 after importing my iPhoto library with the option chosen of storing the files in their original location. I am now considering purchasing the program. My question is: Should I just carry on, or would it be better (or worse) to import the files into Aperture, placing them in a new Aperture library, then deleting my iPhoto library? I have not done any significant work in the trial so this is the time do redo it if it is preferable. If this question does not make sense then I would appreciate knowing that too. Many thanks!

Andrew
One of the ways that Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto is in how it relates to the Master files.
From your post I understand that you imported to Aperture leaving the Originals in iPhoto, right?
There is no need to now move the original files into Aperture. You can leave them where they are, move them elsewhere or bring them over to Aperture. Whichever decision you make Aperture can work with and help you do do it.
Check out 'Relocate Masters' in the Aperture Help for more.

Question about migrating my stuff from iMac to a new one

Hi I must be on my fourth consecutive iMac now, and it is late 2007 model I think. I am considering about getting a new one soon. It is very tempting to use Migration Assistant to haul everything to the new one from the old one but:
After 4 previous migrations, will I have a slower system than a clean, new one with just the files, not migrated settings and other stuff?
Are there some negative effects of migrating vs installing everything from scratch?
Thanks for any input!
BR
Timo

When using Migration Assistant in my opinion it's best to connect to either a Time Machine Backup via USB or Firewire to the new machine. DO NOT use Wi-Fi to migrate. Also remember if you should prepare the old machine to ensure all of it's apps are up-to-date and it is running well otherwise.
I would also recommend using Setup Assistant to migrate rather than Migration Assistant. Both are almost the same,however SA is what starts up when you turn on any new Mac for the first time. It will come to a point where it asks if you are migrating from an older Mac. Select yes, select your TM backup EHD and connect it (USB or Firewire remember??) to the new machine and select the options and let it do the migration. This method normally results in a smooth migration and will not create a new user account like Migration Assistant will.

Questions about Migration Assistant

I'm getting ready to move the contents of my G4 iBook to a new Intel-powered MacBook. I assume Apple's Migration Assistant can handle a lion's share of that job but I have a question...can I change the UserName (and ShortName) on the new computer and still migrate everything over with the Apple utility? For example, a particular concern is how to handle the information contained in Keychain. When that file gets moved over, how do I make it the default Keychain and set it to unlock with the new computer's password?
And any other issues I should be aware of when moving from a G4 machine?

Actually you cannot migrate a user folder that has the same name as one already created. However, because you are moving from a PPC to an Intel Mac there are some cautions of which you need be aware:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3 or G4 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior (does not work), TechTool Pro (pre-4.5.1 versions do not work), SuperDuper (newest release works), and Drive Genius (untested) may not work properly on Intel-Macs. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
Intel In Macs
Apple Guide to Universal Applications
MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
Basically the instructions you should follow are:
1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.
Written by Kappy with additional contributions from a brody.
Be careful about what you migrate. Migrating an entire user folder is not a good idea when moving from PPC to Intel. Stick to your movable folders as described above.
PPC applications may not work after migration. If they don't then simply reinstall them.

Questions about upgrading from Exchange 2010 RTM to Exchange 2010 Service Pack 3

I am preparing to perform an maintenance upgrade on our current Exchange 2010 Server, to Service Pack 3 (and any post-SP3 roll ups), but I have a couple questions about the process.
Current Exchange Server details:
Exchange 2010 Standard
Version: 14.0 (Build 639.21) - from Exchange Management Console
Version: 14.0.702.4000 - from Outook client
Active Directory forest and domain levels: Windows 2008 R2 native
The questions I have are:
1. Can I assume that because it's version 10.0.702.4000 I am on Exchange Server 2010 RTM Update Rollup 4?
2. Can Exchange 2010 Standard RTM be patched directly to Service Pack 3, or would I need to perform incremental patches (i.e. SP1, SP2, etc.) before going to SP3?
3. Do I need to manually perform the AD domain schema prep before applying Service Pack 3, or will the Service Pack 3 update process automatically handle the modifications of the AD schema?

Hi,
Here are my answers you can refer to:
1. Firstly, I’d like to explain , we can use connection status to check our Exchange server version from Outlook client:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/determine-the-version-of-microsoft-exchange-server-my-account-connects-to-HA010117038.aspx
And I check my version from both EMC and Outlook client. It’s same.
2. We can directly update RTM version to SP3 , and the update will take an additional 30 minutes or longer per database.
3. Since Exchange 2010 SP3 makes updates to the Active Directory schema, we need prepare AD domain schema. However, it will automatically prepare AD and the domain when you install the update.
For more information, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj965774(v=exchg.141).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

A question about restoring from cold backup(control file backup not clear)

Hi,
I had another question about restoring the cold backup. My database is in noarchivelog mode and after taking a consistent cold backup, all I need to do is to restore the backup right? -Why I got this question is because: when I backup my control file to trace, I see statements like this:-----
-- Commands to re-create incarnation table
-- Below log names MUST be changed to existing filenames on
-- disk. Any one log file from each branch can be used to
-- re-create incarnation records.
-- ALTER DATABASE REGISTER LOGFILE '/uo1/app1/arch1_1_647102958.dbf';
-- Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
-- or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
RECOVER DATABASE
-- Database can now be opened normally.
ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
My database is in noarchivelog mode now so don't know why these statements (of register the logfile) is there in the backup of control file? so when I restore the cold backup of this database, it will still work correct? (there is no logfile I have only CRD files in cold backup -no archive log files.)
thanks

About migrating from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3 (page events)

Hi forum,
As authentication based on public key certificates only works under jdev 10.1.3.1, I'm upgrading my 10.1.2 application to that version. I'm following the Oracle document "Converting to the ADF Page Lifecycle from 10.1.2" (http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.3?topic=adf_convertingfrom10_1_2_html) that it's a really great help. However, this document doesn't explain how to migrate page events. In UIX, a submitButton may have an "event" attribute that fires the method called onEventName in the DataPage class. In ADF Faces, I don't know how to do that. The document previously mentioned doesn't say anything about this topic. The solution I've tryed is the following:
As document "API Changes from ADF UIX" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/api-changes.html) explains, submitButton turns into commandButton and event attribute is replaced by an actionlistener. So, in my jspx page:
<af:commandButton id="myButton" text="Search" actionListener="#{pageCode.listen}"/>
<af:commandButton id="myOtherButton" text="All" actionListener="#{pageCode.listen}" />
In faces-config.xml:
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>pageCode</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.mycompany.web.struts.actions.MyPageController</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
In controller class, I replace DataActionContext by PageLifecycleContext in events parameters. Furthermore, a listen method is added:
public class MyPageController extends PageController
// I want to migrate this event
public void onSearch (PageLifecycleContext ctx)
// code of page event inherited from 10.1.2
// I want to migrate this event
public void onAll (PageLifecycleContext ctx)
// code of page event inherited from 10.1.2
// This is the method I've just added
public void listen (ActionEvent e)
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)context.getExternalContext().getRequest();
PageLifecycleContext plc = (PageLifecycleContext)request.getAttribute("ADFLifecycleContext");
String idButton = (String)e.getComponent().getAttributes().get("id");
if (idButton.equals("myButton"))
onSearch(plc);
else if (idButton.equals("myOtherButton"))
onAll(plc);
I'd like to know if there is any other simplier way to do event migration from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3.
Thanks in advance.
Luis Serrano.

If you change your view objects to use the new named bind variables in 10.1.3, then you can do what you were doing in prepareModel in a declarative way now using the invokeAction executable in your page definition to trigger the firing of an executeWithParams action.
You can study example #76 on my blog to see an example of doing this:
http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2004/09/23/notYetDocumentedAdfSampleApplications.html#76
If you want to do things programmatically still, which is fine of course, then you can reference section 10.5.4.3 "Using Custom ADF Page Lifecycle to Invoke an onPageLoad Backing Bean Method" in the ADF Developer's Guide for Forms/4GL Developers on the ADF Learning Center at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/adf/learnadf.html The key benefit of this approach is that if you have a backing bean for your page, it allows you to put your prepareModel code inside the backing bean in an onPageLoad() method so you don't end up with both a backing bean and a page controller class for that page.
Of course, you can also still use a customized PageController class and override prepareModel() as you did before. All of these ways are viable.

Thinking about migrating from BPC MS 7.0 to BPC NW 7.0 or 7.5

Has anyone gone through a migration from the MS 7.0 platform to the NW 7.0 platform? If so, what were the biggest challenges that you came across? Do you see any benefits from doing this?

Matt -
Migration to BPC NW is not straight forward and here are few areas of concern:-
1. Complete re-write of SSIS to SAP Process Chains
2. Re-visit (almost a re-write) your Script Logic
3. Fix Reprots/Input Schedules
4. Post Migration:
a) Migration doesn't take time and goes well in weekend window (say 10-12 hrs..even less)
b) Post migration validation process takes a long period (depending on how much functionality you have rolled-out in BPC MS)
5. Security, which is different in BPC
6. Case-sensitivy is another thing to consider (tool will take care of it)..still need to validate
Hope this gives you some idea.
Cheers!

Question About Migrating to Office 365

After a cutover migration from Exchange 2010 to Office 365, what is involved in cancelling the migration and rolling back to the on-premises Exchange 2010?

Ed is correct, however if you have not already migrated to O365 you might want to test a single mailbox migrating and rolling back as;
I ran across this post the other day

Of course this could just be a strange anomaly that you will not experience, however its definitely something to watch/tests and of course monitor the link above to see if a resolution is found.
If you experience the same thing you may want to open a case with MS to resolve

Question about migrating data from mac pro to new macbook

Hello all,
I ordered a new macbook today and i'm very excited. It will be the first time i've had two apple machines simultaneously. My question is in regards to getting my new macbook all stocked up with the files and apps currently residing on my mac pro.
1. I don't know if by using migration assistant if the data is removed from the old machine and added to the new. I don't want that. I want everything currently on my mac pro to remain, unchanged.
2. I'd normally use target disk mode, but no firewire on the macbook, so, no dice there.
3. My startup disk and apps and such reside on one HDD in my mac pro, while my home folder, or user files, or whatever, reside on a separate HDD. will this cause a problem.
Your input is much appreciated.

It can be done with USB, but it is slower and less reliable.
Ethernet works great, IF you have two FUNCTIONAL machines. The great thing about Firewire Target Disk mode was that if the HD/OS was corrupted, or the computer was for some reason unbootable you could still get data off of it quickly, without tools or special equipment. Firewire Target disk mode has saved my rear several times on every machine I have owned.
The hard drive is fairly easy to remove on the aluminum Macbook. I would remove it and install it in an external Firewire enclosure temporarily to transfer your files quickly and reliably, then put the drive back in the Macbook.
Firewire allows two operating modes. One is asynchronous, like USB which suffers from latency, bus contention and collisions.
The other is isochronous mode, and it lets a device carve out a certain dedicated amount of bandwidth that other devices can't touch. It gets a certain number of time slices each second all its own. The advantages for audio/video should be obvious: that stream of data can just keep on flowing, and as long as there isn't more bandwidth demand than the wire can handle, nothing will interfere with it. No collisions, no glitches.

Questions about migrating to a Mac Pro from an old MacBook Pro

My present setup is a 2006 MacBook Pro with 3 external drives. One external eSATA RAID1 for music, another eSATA RAID1 for photos and video/movies, and the 3rd (FireWire) is for Time Machine. The internal 320 GB boot drive has 2 Boot Camp partitions for Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7.
Here's the new setup (as purchased):
• Mid-2010 ( MacPro5,1 ) Mac Pro 6-core 3.33 GHz
• 8 GB RAM (4x2 GB)
• 8 TB HD (4x2 GB Seagates)
• Apple RAID card
Mulling this migration over, these are the things I'm wondering about:
• I'll probably keep the 4x2 GB internals as a group, either going with two 2x2TB RAID1 volumes or perhaps considering a single 4x2TB RAID10 arrangement. The latter makes me a little nervous‡.
(‡ +Why? Not a fan of striping in general - plus, with my present setup, a problem with one of my Venus eSATA RAID enclosures was easily testable by removing the disks from the other "good" enclosure and substituting the other "bad" enclosure's disks to test inside a "good" enclosure - i.e. it was nice to have redundancy+ ).
Q. *Any thoughts either way on going with 2xRAID1 vs. 1xRAID10?*
Q. *Any Apple RAID card horror stories?*
• Therefore, I'm thinking of adding a cradle and disk(s) to the ODD_SATA ports. Probably a 256 GB SSD at a minimum for the boot drive.
Q. *Any issues booting OS X from an ODD_SATA-connected SSD?*
Q. *I understand you can't use Boot Camp on Apple RAID card-connected drives. True?*
Q. *I also seem to be reading that you can't boot Windows in any guise from an ODD_SATA-connected drive (SSD or HDD). True as well?*
Am I screwed? Forced to keep the MacBook Pro around for Boot Camp, no way to run it on the Mac Pro with this configuration?
• Memory. I understand these boxes run their memory with Triple Channel.
Q. *It sounds like at the very least I should rip out the 4th 2 GB DIMM. Probably replace all 4 with 3x4 GB or 3x8 GB (ECC) DIMMs, right?*
Yikes. Long post. Sorry. That's enough for now, I think.

now-disconnected iPass port
I don't think the 2010 model you ordered HAS an iPass port. The new Apple RAID card does not use one.
Follow a complicated procedure for trying to get the Mac to run all the SATA ports as AHCI so that Windows would 'see' all 6 of the SATA ports instead of what I presumed to be the current situation,
I don't think that applies to 2009 and later models either. The six SATA port are all listed in my Mac PRO as AHCI and all should be equivalent:
Serial-ATA Device Tree
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GH41N
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. WDC WD360GD-00FLA2
-Intel ICH10 AHCI
. Kinston SSDNOW 30GB
Intel ICH10 AHCI
Intel ICH10 AHCI
You sure are digging up some stale information in your research
... but you are rapidly becoming an expert on the way it USED to be.
Now take the essence of what you posted just above, start a new topic, give it a catchy title, and see what other Users have to say!

A question about restoring from an old Time Machine backup

My computer has been acting very slow and freezing frequently lately. The spotlight background processess keep hogging the processor, and
It keeps getting catalog b-Tree corruption. I've already done one complete reformat of my drive and a restore from a time machine backup hoping it would fix things, and that didn't work.
I tried a complete reinstall and used the migration assistant to move all my files and settings from my time machine back over to it.
That worked for about a week, then had b-Tree corruption that could only be fixed with disk warrior.
I was suspecting a hardware problem, but I have done thourogh tests of my Ram with memtest from single user mode, and a disk surface scan with Tech Tool Deluxe. Everything checks out.
I am thinking there is some corrupt system file or setting that is getting reinstalled from my Time machine backup that is messing things up.
This all is a leadup to my question:
I would like to try restoring from a much older Time Machine back up (6 months ago or so before I started experiencing problems).
If I do that, can I still use Time Machine to restore individual files and directories from later backups?
I'd like my system settings and applications to be from six months ago, but my desktop files and documents to be from my most recent backup.
Thanks,
-Matt

Yeah, I usually check the FAQs before posting a question.
They do talk about how to restore from an older back up, but not about what happens to your newer files once you have done it. They also talk about accessing files from another computer's time machine backup, but its not clear if that would work on a different fork of the same machine.
I may just have to learn from experience, but I don't want to risk losing any data.
I do recommend time machine though. Its saved me several times.
If anyone else has experience with this let me know.
Thanks,
-Matt

Questions about migrating Exchange 2010 to 2013

We currently have two Exchange 2010 servers with roles separated. One local mailbox server without CAS in our building and a CAS with no mailboxes in a remote datacenter.
We plan to migrate to 2013 with two new servers hosting all roles on each and then shut down the 2010 servers. There will be one local and one in a datacenter for Exchange 2013 so that either server could be individually restarted without internal LAN users
losing email access. (We do not want to open network access from the Internet to the onsite CAS). Is it practical to set it up this way?
How do we get the existing certificates (mail, autodiscover, and the local host name etc.) moved from the 2010 to the 2013 to the new servers when I assume they both must be running side by side for at least a short time while mailboxes are moved form 2010
to 2013? Will we need to buy new SSL certificates since the local host machine names for the Exchange server 2013 servers will be new and there will be more than one CAS?

Most of the CAs allow issuing duplicate certificate (as if you are requesting for a new cert) for the servers running same application. If your CA doesn't provide duplicates you can export the certificate and import to Exchange2013. http://msexchangeguru.com/2013/06/29/import-cert-e2013/
In certificate you dont need your internal FQDN. Especially in future you wont be able to add your internal FQDN in your certificate as most of the CAs wont allow you to add internal FQDN.
When you migrate to exchange 2013 you just need to configure the external URLs of Ex2010 in Ex2013 for both (i.e. same URLs for internal and external URLs) and point your common name and autodiscover to Exc2013 as Ex2013 will proxy the requests to your legacy
Ex2010 server. i.e. Your client interface will be Ex2013.
Please check this it will help you configure Split DNS and configure your URLs

Configure split DNS to resolve external name from internal network.
Keep both Ex2010 CAS and Ex2013 CAS servers till all get logged in atleast once to connect to Ex2013 mailbox automatically.
As your DAG stretched across the data centers make sure
your DAG is in DAC mode.

Please read this as well for details about DAG configured in multiple site
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd638129(v=exchg.150).aspx
Ensure you use Exchange2013 SP1 as it is already released and available for download

Do you have a load balancer in place?
Regarding internet facing it depends. You can configure CAS2013 server in DMZ if you wish to.

One last question about capturing from tape

I have a box full of family VHS tapes that I will be capturing into the computer to digitally archive. However, I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way. These are the two things most important to me:
1. Quality
2. Longevity
1. Quality
I have a VHS/MiniDV JVC SR-VS30 deck connected via firewire into my 2014 iMac. I know that firewire is typically the best option when capturing DV footage into the computer. However, is this still true for VHS and other forms of old tape. I can hook anything up to this deck via composite/s-video in and go out through the firewire connection. However, I wasn't sure if firewire was the best coming from a VHS tape. I also have an old video capture card that has a straight s-video/composite input. Which would be more native to the VHS/analog tapes as far as keeping original quality and the best possible image?
When I use the JVC deck, some programs will capture the vhs tapes and others won't because they won't recognize unless I'm using the DV side. For example, FCPX recognizes the deck, but when I go to import unless it's a dv, it will say "no tape" and I cannot capture anything. iMovie will capture files as .DV. Quicktime will also recognize the deck and capture files as apple prores MOV files. When I compare the QT and iMovie, the QT files look better in my opinion, though I don't know if they truly are. The iMovie dv files have jagged edges like tv lines or something during quick movement and like others say about firewire it looks a little "milky" (though I know this isn't necessarily a bad thing). The QT clips don't necessarily look sharper, but they don't have the hideous jagged edges.
So my question before I start this large project is:
Which capture methods above would you use, or what else would you recommend for best quality?
2. Longevity
Which file format would you recommend saving these files (or just keeping them as they are at capture) for long term storage? When I come back to these files in 10 years and need to convert them to something new, I want them to have the greatest chance of being compatible with whatever lies ahead. There are so many different file formats.
Many thanks for any help along this long process

I want to make sure I am doing it the best possible way.
I have done lots of that.
For maximum quality here is my procedure: ADVC300 > iMovie 06 > iDVD 09/11.
To get your VHS video into iMovie, use the Grassvalley ADVC300 . With the ADVC300 Audio and Video go in, FireWire comes out. It also comes with a nice Macintosh application that works flawlessly with iMovie 06 and iDVD 09/11 (I have used it a few times with iMovie 11).
The ADVC300 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The included software (which is not really necessary but does enhance performance) is not compatible with OS 10.7 or newer. You can still find the ADVC300 for sale in a few outlets as well as eBay. It will sell between 50% and 100% ABOVE its retail price. Yes, it's that good.
If you can’t find the ADVC300, use the Grassvalley ADVC110.
I have a drawer full of analog-to-digital converters. After using the Grass Valley ADVC300 I find nothing else acceptable.
The program that comes with the ADVC300 has some nice filters that can improve video and audio of the source material. The ADVC300 will take Audio and Video from any source (VCR, Tivo, Satellite Receiver) and convert it to FireWire (iMovie will treat it like a camera).
I would use iMovie 06 with iDVD 09/11, why?
iMovie 09, 11, and 13 uses 'single field processing' meaning every other horizontal line of the video is thrown out, which reduces the sharpness of the footage. iMovie 06 uses ALL of the image to form the video. (Also the latest iMovie CANNOT set Chapeters !)
After lots of experimenting I get the best results using OS 10.6, iMovie 06, and iDVD 09/11. My movies look just like Hollywood!
My primary computer is a Mac Pro, so I just use one of the four hard drives and boot OS 10.6. You can also partition a single hard drive to achieve the same results.
This may seem like more trouble than you want to go through. However, I find the superior quality to be well worth it.
