Question migrating system from Intel to PPC

I have a quick question, and after doing some searching here I have not come across this. I have a 2GHz Core Duo iMac currently running Leopard, I recently acquired a 2.3GHz Dual Core PPC G5. Now most of my production apps are not native under Intel so run under Rosetta.
Turns out the G5 is faster than the iMac and therefore I want to Migrate my system from the iMac to the G5. Both have Leopard running but can I use the Apple's Migration Assistant to transfer all the files and settings from the iMac to the G5?
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi
Use this guide:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
It works both ways, basically eliminating the need to use Migration Assistance, which quite a number of posts here reported "poor results" when they use Migration Assistance to move their data from one platform to another.
Use the guide and move all your data files across, some preferences and keychain etc. Best you fresh-install all your applications in the G5, instead of moving the apps across, because sometimes some installation put components in multiple locations in your mac

Burning disk from Intel or PPC, is there a difference when booting?

Hi,
I have a Intel iMac and a PPC PowerBook G4.
I have an .iso of my OS X Leopard 10.5 DVD (backup copy) that I want to burn using Disk Utility on a DL DVD, then use it to install Leopard on the PowerBook G4.
I already have done a .iso file from the disk.
OS X Leopard 10.5 is Intel and PPC compatible, from the same disk.
Question:
-If I do the process of burning the .iso to a DL DVD from a Intel iMac, will it only boot from an Intel Machine?
-If I burn the .iso from the PowerBook G4 under 10.4, will it boot on the PowerPC?
Burn ISO’s using Disk Utility
Insert a blank disc.
Start Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app)
From the File menu, choose “Open Disk Image” and select the ISO you want to burn
In the list of volumes, select ISO file.
Click the Burn button and follow the instructions.
Thanks,

The point is not regarding whether I should have a backup of my OS X disk, but rather to understand how boot disk are made with regards to the Intel PowerPC nuance.
This applies also if I wanted a boot disk to run some utilities. I would like to burn it and make sure the disk boot on the correct hardware.
I would like to understand if it matters on which machine (Intel) you burn the disk, if it will be used on the different hardware (PowerPC).

How to get BW Objects not optmized for HANA on just migrated System from ORA to HANA?

http://www.saphana.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/1363-102-2-1810/SDN_HANA_opt_InfoCube%20FINAL.PDF
HI .....HANA Experts
We are early birds for HANA Technology !!!
The above link is showing how to convert and limitations etc.
We just migrated BW from Oracle to HANA.
Our experts converted some BW Obejcts to HANA Optimized , some still open.
Q1) In this juncture, to take the current stcok, Do we have any report which extract directly list of BW objects which are still not optimized for HANA.
Q2) How to get list of tables not yet fully loaded into Memory [or] How to get list of Infocubes & DSO's not yet fully loaded into main memeory
Q3) When we optimize objects - The size in memeory & persistance store - Size is increasing - Is it normal behaviour ?

---- DSOs should not be converted. If you still want to please check RSODSO Table and check the column IMOFL (HANA Optimized setting for the DSO).
For the InfoCubes, please refer to RSDCUBE table and CUBESUBTYPE column with value F for HANA optimized setting.

Please check the Delta memory and perform Delta Merge. Please search on SCN to get the details on the same.

How do install Leopard from intel to ppc by Firewire?

Can anyone tell me how to install Leopard from my intel macbook to my older ppc? When I try to install from firewire it says that the drive is going to GUID and non-bootable. My DVD drive on the PPC isn't good enough for the Leopard DVD. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm not commenting on whether the type of Mac is compatible with the Leopard install.
I'll offer suggestion for the firewire install. The objective is to take the Leopard DVD and transfer in some way to a firewire drive to be able to boot a PPC Mac and complete a Leopard install to the PPC Mac.
How? Take a firewire external drive and partition it in two. One for your data and the other (7.2 gigs) max, for the ability to restore the Leopard DVD to that smaller partition. Once restored you'll be able to boot(using system startup control panel) and install Leopard to a PPC Mac.
The rule to follow is to use APM ie Apple Partition Map to boot PPC Macs. GUID mapping is for intel Macs. You use options within Disk Utility ti select which way to go. You cannot have both on one firewire hard drive. I use two firewire hard drives: one APM and the other GUID.
How to setup the small partition? Connect firewire drive to your PPC Mac. Open disk utility. Create your two partitions(remember when you do this the drive is formatted and all data is gone, so backup first). Remember to use option and select APM, although on a PPC Mac it should be by default and ditto if on an intel Mac for GUID. Once the partitioning is complete, select Restore and while using the left hand column(just read the instruction in the disk utility window) and assuming you now have the Leopard DVD on the desktop , drag the install OSX section from the left hand column to "source" and then drag the Leopard small partition from the left hand column to "destination." Wait 20 minutes and you are completed. Now you can boot from the firewire drive and install Leopard to a PPC Mac.

How do I copy iPhoto 7.1 Library from Intel to PPC Mac and back

Hello all
I apologize for the long first post; but I've been lurking for a while and haven't seen a similar problem. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have two Macs - a PowerBook G4 and an Intel Mini. I copied the 6.x Library from the PB to the Mini. The copy was successful - no issues. I upgraded iLife on both machines successfully: both machines opened the 6.x Library and updated it the 7.0.1 Package Library. All was well.
I updated both machines to iPhoto 7.1. All was well.
I updated the PB to 7.1.1 + all the recent updates. All was not well! The Library seemed to be corrupted! When I clicked on a thumbnail I would see the photo "zoom" but then I'd see a black window. Clicking again would unzoom and I'd again see all the thumbnails. If I tried to export a photo Preview couldn't view it because it was "corrupt" or should be opened by another application.
After numerous troubleshooting steps - repairing permissions, deleting preferences, trying to rebuild the thumbnail caches, rebuild the Library, recover lost photos etc I gave up.
I've wiped the PB clean and installed Leopard and iPhoto 7.1 - not 7.1.1.
Now I want to copy the iPhoto Library from the Mini (also iPhoto 7.1). I tried copying the package across the network by "Connect to server" in Finder but that produced the same "corrupted" symptoms. (Thumbnails would zoom to black window.)
So here's the question(s):
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
I use the PB on the road and on vacation to capture my 'photos; but I like to display them on my HDTV connected to my Mini - hence my need to periodically copy the Library from the PB to the Mini.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Are there any incompatibilities between Intel/G4 versions of the iPhoto apps or Library Packages?
No.
What is the best way to manually copy the Library from the Mini to the PB? And back?
Try using Firewire target mode.

Images resized from Intel to PPC Using Motion 3

Hey guys, I'm having a reoccurring issue. I work on an animation using still images doing basic ken burns animations with some masks. However when I open the same exact project on my Dual G5 Power Mac which has the same version of Motion. the images get re sized and the mask's are displaced. I originally create the animation on an intel Power Mac. I know it's something with the intel-PPC thing because when I open the same project on my intel Mb Pro it looks the same as the Intel Power Mac. I have all the preferences set to default except turning off the setting to automatically re-size large images in the preferences. Any thoughts?

if you watch the scale of your objects in the media tab does that change?

Time Machine restore from Intel Macbook to G5 PPC 2.0ghz not working?

Not sure if it has to do with the fact that I'm going from Intel to PPC or if my MacBook had all the latest Apple updates and the PPC does not (no network connect at the moment.) It can see all the backups in my Time Machine drive when running the Time Machine app, but when I go to Restore From Time Machine Backup in the Utilities menu on the Leopard boot, or when I tried to create my user account for the first time in Leopard, it would not see my Time Machine backups on the other drive.
So am I thinking it's becuse I'm going from Intel to PPC or do I need the latest updates from Apple on my PPC or could it be something else?
I could just manually copy all the files over, but I'd like to avoid that, as I liked all my settings &tc. Thoughts?

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
AFAIK, you can only restore a TM backup onto an identical (or nearly so) computer. I don't think the Intel backup will work at all on a PPC. The drive partitions schemes are incompatible - GUID vs APM and none of the drivers or other hardware-related software components will work, not to mention many of the Intel-only apps.
The best you can do in install Leopard on the PPC and see if you can migrate from the TM backup.

System Software (Mail, Preview, Contacts) crashes after migration from 10.5 (PPC) to MacBook Air

Hi!
I've just migrated my old system (PowerMac G5 running 10.5) to a new MacBook Air (11'' Mid 2013) using the migration assistant. I've had problems with crashing applications (as far as I can see only Apple software has been affected: Mail, Preview, Contacts, TextEdit) since I've completed the migration.
I've already done the following: reinstalled 10.9.1 update, repaired permissions and checked volume through recovery. Reset SMC, PRAM and done a safe boot. Rebuilt the Spotlight index. Nothing has helped thus far.
Console is flooded with the following, repeated messages:

I guess that migration assistant moved something over that interferes with the new systems. Do you have any ideas what to do? My next step would be to reinstall the system from recovery. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Solved. Threw away the only Imap-Account (Folder [email protected]) and it worked;

Migrating Data from old iMac G5 (PPC) to new iMac QC i7

I have had an iMac G5 PPC for about 6 years. The logic board just died about 2 weeks ago.
I am about to purchase a new 27" iMac Quad-core i7 machine, and I am wondering what is the best way to migrate data from the old machine to the new one.
I have a few different questions...
I use SuperDuper! to backup, so I do have a full copy of my hard drive on an external drive. But the data is about 2 weeks older than the hard drive on my G5 (meaning, I backed up about 2 weeks before the machine died, so there is data on there that I'd love to retrieve). I understand that I can pull the hard drive out of the iMac G5 and buy a cable to attach it to the new machine. I also understand that I can attach my external drive (with the SuperDuper! copy of my hard drive) to the new iMac, too, and run Migration Assistant (or Set Up Assistant) to transfer data.
However, I have heard that it is not good to do a straight migration from a Power PC to an Intel machine.
Is that true?
I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
What do you recommend?
Should I do an automatic migration using Set Up Assistant and my external hard drive with the SuperDuper copy?
Should I (and can I?) do an automatic migration with the hard drive that I pull from the old machine?
Or should I (can I?) do a manual migration whereby I only copy the folders/files/libraries that I really want, and avoid clogging up the new machine with PowerPC apps, etc., that the new (Intel) iMac might not like?
This last one seems like the ideal choice, but I am not sure...and I don't know exactly how to go about that process.
Apologies for the long post, and many thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.
Best,
Matt

automatic migration works well for most people but problems are possible both because of architecture and system differences.
I would ideally like to transfer all my email (tens of thousands of them), my iPhoto library, my iTunes library, iCal, many many documents, and some other random stuff.
What do you recommend?
you can try automatic migration first. if you are worried about possible problems you can choose to migrate user data only but no applications. this should reduce the likelihood of conflicts. but if you run into problems you can always erase and install and do manual migration. since you have a superduper backup this option is not going away and is always available.
see this link on how to go about that

Best practice migration 10.4.11 G4 PPC to Intel server

We are ready to upgrade our aging server to a new Intel system. I am wondering the easiest approach. The current server is not running the Universal 10.4. I don't believe there is any viable option that doesn't require lots of hands on rebuilding to move from 10.4 PPC to 10.4 Universal. If that is true, I figure the best route might be to upgrade to 10.5.1. Can I take a backup drive and do this on the Intel machine? I am thinking it will not go for this and I likely have to upgrade on a PPC system and then clone that over to the Intel. Will the format of the drive effect this? I am thinking it will in which case I am thinking my only solution is the topicdesk tool for migrating email as the rest will not be a big hassle. Thanks for any thoughts!

Paul,
I tested this on a borrowed Intel workstation, so I was only able to run it for about a day or so. In that short time I did not encounter any problems.
The GUID Partition table is available in Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Select the hard disk, then the Partition tab should appear. Select the number of partitions then click options. You will see the GUID as one of the options.
You can use CCC to clone from a boot drive to another disk. Before I started cloning, I turned off all services and disconnected the network cable.
It seems like Leopard loads all the files it needs to run on an Intel box.
As long as the target disk has enough space, it does not have to match the size of the source drive. It's generally best, to erase the target disk before cloning.
One last thing, if you are trying to upgrade a production server, I would use CCC to clone the current 10.4.x set up to a disk image. That way you have something to fall back to if anything goes wrong.
Let me know how it goes.

Can PPC G5 boot from Intel disk copy (or vice versa)?

I'm aware that at the moment one cannot boot a PPC Mac from an Intel system drive, although I think I read somewhere that under Leopard this would change and that a PPC Mac would be able to boot from and Intel system and vice versa. My question is, will this be the same for Leopard Server?
I have a G5 server and would like to add a second (Intel) server to the rack and mirror two drives on the G5 together with a third on the Intel server so that if the G5 server fails, we could immediately boot up on the Intel server using the up-to-date mirrored drive already installed. Does anyone know if this will be possible with Leopard Server?
Thanks,
Keith

10.4.7 and newer (there is at least 10.4.8 too) is available as UB for both Intel and PPC.
Running a second Xserve as a fireWire targetmode machine/drive might be possible but doing it for long perods of time can't be good as at least the fans will run at top speed all the time.
Moving a boot drive from one machine to another should also present problem because the partition info on the drives must be different (?) : Apple Partition Map (PPC) vs GUID (Intel).
I can't tell you if it is possible to have one drive configured so you can boot both PPC and Intel machines from the same partition (the DVD can be booted on both of course).

Migrate MacOSX Server 10.4 PPC to MacOSX Server 10.5 Intel

As soon as MacOSX Server 10.5 will be available i want to move from my Tiger PPC to a Leopard Intel server. Anybody knows if there will be possible such migration ?

Hi
There does not seem to be a specific Migration Manual available as yet but you could read this:
http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/GettingStartedv10.5.pdf
As it does not contain some important information regarding upgrading and migrating: Page 40 and Page 144.

Questions about "Restore System From Time Machine"

Looking to fix an apparent system corruption problem on my work machine, I discovered the "Utilities > Restore System From Time Machine" option of the Leopard installation disc. I have some questions that are not answered in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1177:
1. Does this option erase the hard drive and install a fresh system from DVD, or do I need to do that in a separate step?
2. What about software updates - when are they applied?
3. Will third-party system extensions be reinstalled OK?
4. I tried launching the process on my home machine, just to see how it works. At work I have a dedicated disk for Time Machine, but at home I have a Time Capsule, serving two Macs via Ethernet. I've also configured the TC to give us a shared volume; so in normal operation I have two network volumes, <Username>, containing Time Machine's sparsebundle file for that user's Mac, and "Shared". When I boot from the installation DVD and run "Utilities > Restore System From Time Machine", the backup volume list only shows the "Shared" volume. If I select it, I'm prompted for my TC username and password; I enter it, TC spins up, and then nothing. I cannot continue the restoration process, and reselecting the "Shared" volume does nothing. ???
Thanks in advance for your help.
-- Phil

For the record, here's what I've found out so far:
1. The "Restore System From Time Machine" option seems to want to restore everything, including the system, from the Time Machine backup. I wanted a clean system install, so I did an "Erase & install" followed by a "Restore from Time Machine" in the Migration Assistant. That got me most, but not all, of my settings back; exceptions include the printer configurations, the desktop picture, and the Dock settings.
2. Software updates can be applied after the new system is rebooted.
3. Most 3rd party extensions seem to have been restored OK, but some (like MacFuse) were not.
4. I'd still be grateful for any hints concerning how to get "Restore from Time Machine" to work with a Time Capsule.

Using Migration Assistant from iMac G5 to Intel Core Duo

I've developed a problem while transferring files using Migration Assistant.
I've inadvertently created two accounts. I misunderstood what was going to happen when renaming one of them. I thought I had to change the old home folder/user name to avoid a conflict when creating a new Admin/user acct on the new computer .... don't ask!! So, I now have several folders: some that came on the new iMac, the others that read 'from the old Mac'. It's apparently the new login/acct name that's linked to the 'from the old Mac' files . Hope this is making sense.
If I go up to the top right menu and select the newly named acct., it rotates and brings up all the settings and preferences I wanted transferred and obviously were. If I use the old login name, it's just the basic iMac settings without my settings, prefs,etc..
How can I delete the basic acct. and use the imported settings/preferences? I want only one Admin Acct./log in with my imported settings/prefs. Do I delete folders and rename the 'from the old Mac' to just the folder name? I've read some of what Kappy has said aout migrating files from the G5 to the Intel, and I know he's an expert, he's helped me before, but in truth, I don't really understand what he's saying about how to migrate to the Intel.
Can someone offer some advice? I'd appreciate it.

You may not want to keep the Home folder you've migrated. See the following:
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, G4, or G5 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 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

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, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. 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.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
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/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/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 Macjack 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.
