Selectively Migrating Applications

As suggested, I'm starting a new thread on this topic.
I successfully migrated my applications from a G5 to a new MacBookPro a couple months ago and have had no problems. Now I want to migrate some of my applications to a Mini.
The downside I see is that there seems to be no option for selecting only the apps that I want to migrate. I would rather only move the ones that I don't have on the new system, specifically Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign.
One idea I came up with was to move all the apps out of my new machine to a temporary folder, then after migrating into the app folder, delete the ones I don't want and move the originals back in. Make sense?
Anyone know if this would work?
In response to one comment, I'm under the impression that Adobe products allow installation on a laptop and a desktop system, but I'll have to check that. I believe that they guard themselves against both copies running at the same time, which is not currently an issue for me.
Thanks

Instead of using Migration Assistant or any other type of application move/copy procedure, I suggest installing these apps on the Mini using the original installer discs (assuming you have the licensing rights to do this, of course). This will insure that all the files are fresh, uncorrupted versions configured for use with the Mini & that everything that should be installed is installed & placed in the correct location.
The downside of this is all the apps will start up with their default preferences & settings, but depending on how much customization you have done the effort to set them up anew may not be much of an issue. If desired, you can copy selected items from your other Mac's user account's Library folder (such as Adobe preference & application support files) but I would avoid copying items from the main root level Library folder.

  • How to migrate application server from Tomcat to WebSphere?

    Hi,
    I installed BO XI 3.1 32 bit in environment:
    - AIX 5.3 64 bit
    - Deployed Tomcat 5.5 from installing BO
    - Oracle client 10G
    I need to migrate application server from Tomcat to WebSphere 6.1 and WebSphere 6.1 Server 32 bit in Windows platform.
    Could you someone give detail steps
    Many thanks in advance and best regards,

    I tried manually to deploy web applications, but not successful. This is my deployment step following:
    AIX 5.3: BOE XI 3.1 :
    Copy all <INSTALLDIR>/bobje/enterprise120/java/applications/  to Windows Websphere D:\BO_WAS
    WebSphere 6.1 location & IP (windows) :
    C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer1\
    IP: 192.168.69.10
    Log in to WebSphere Applicaton Server Administrative http://192.168.69.10:9060/admin
    1. Under the Applications heading of the console navigation menu, click
    Enterprise Applications on the left navigational pane.
    2. Click the Install button and navigate to the location of the WAR file to
    deploy. If deploying from a remote file system, select the Remote File
    System option.
    3. Enter a context root for the WAR file (e.g. /CmcApp for CmcApp.war)
    (this format (/CmcApp) for Unix OS, have different in Windows ? Could you give me fully path?)
    and
    press the Next button, followed by Continue.
    4. In "Step 1", give a unique name for your web application and proceed to
    "Step 2".
    5. Highlight the server you created (or highlight server1 if you didn't create
    your own) from the Clusters and Servers and enable the Select
    checkbox. Proceed to "Step 3".
    6. Select the virtual host you created (or default_host if you didn't create
    your own) from the Virtual Host drop-down list. Proceed to "Step 4".
    7. Review the summary page, and press Finish when done.
    8. Click Save to Master Configuration.
    9. Click the Save link, then the Save button.
    Finally the output is not available.
    Many thanks in advance and best regards

  • I cannot download a pdf - instead of downloading, firefox takes me to a map of my computer to select an application - I do not understand!

    when I click on a link on a web page, and it is a pdf, I get taken to a list of my own hard drive, and am asked to select an application. I have to use safari to download anything!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox doesn't display PDF files, it needs to be told which program you want used to open PDF files. See this:

  • Best way to migrate Applications across environments of different versions

    Hello Gurus,
    Source EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.1.3
    Target EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.2.2
    What is the best way to migrate applications for Planning , Essbase , HFM and also the related reports from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 .
    Any help will be highly appreciated..
    Thanks
    HyperEPM.

    I tried with upgrading the application and it was done pretty smoothly as compared to the LCM import export method.
    Now what would be the feasible way to move all the applications when following is the scenario and we need a minimum downtime.
    1. Move from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2
    2. DB used to configure EPM 11.1.2.2 should be fresh and not the existing one.
    3. We want to move all the applications across to EPM 11.1.2.2 on the freshly configured EPM 11.1.2.2.
    4. Move all the applications intact across the version.
    Thanks

  • Workspace not rendering after selecting "Launch Application"

    Hi,
    I have a 11.1.2.2 instance of Planning, Essbase, ODI etc. running on the cloud via Metavero. It's up and running, I think. When I click on Workspace URL and then select 'Launch Application', another window pops up and it looks like it wants to give me the login screen but it just stays gray and never gets to the login. I tried restarting some services but not sure which ones and which order is correct. Or is there other things I need to check?

    Sounds like browser issue, Which browser (and version) you are using?
    If its IE and apply recommended settings:
    Internet Explorer (IE7, IE8 and IE9) Recommended Settings for Oracle Hyperion Products [ID 820892.1]
    If its FireFox then:

  • 'Incorrect Login Name' error after migrating application in planning

    Hi,
    We are doing a migration to Planning 9.2.1 from a pre-system 9 version (3.5), using sql server 2000 as repository
    System 9 is installed in a fresh new server, and we are copying the applications/repositories from the old server.
    The admin user is the same in old installation and in new one.
    At the moment, all products are installed in the same server
    We have already sucessfully migrated the essbase applications, including substitution variables and users
    We had a problem creating a new application in planning, reading these forums we added External Authentication to Shared Services, and created application succesfully.
    We created the UDL for old database in SQL server and new essbase. Test connection was succesfull
    Created DSN based on UDL, test connection was succesfull
    We inserted application to migrate into PLN database, table HSX_DATASOURCES
    Saved SID for admin user (5001)
    Opened Desktop Planning, and opened the aplication.
    We got the 'upgrade application' message, and we upgraded it. No errors reported.
    We replaced the SID with the previously saved one. Actually, they are the same SID
    Now, when we try to open the migrated application in Desktop Planning, we get a 'Failled to Open application: M_09 Incorrect login name'
    We have already verified that the admin user id dbowner of the database in sql server 2000
    The event log only says the following
    Error*16*HypAdmin*4/15/2009 11:54:12 AM*CHspSession.cpp*Line 119*Incorrect login name*
    Any help will be appreciated!
    P.S. please excuse my writing skills, I am not a native english speaker.
    Edited by: hectorsosar on 15/04/2009 10:44 AM

    Please nevermind my previous post. I didn't read carefully enough, that the SID to save and copy was from the newly created applciation, not from old app. Now everything worls ok.
    Thanks, and regards,
    Hector

  • How do I migrate applications from old MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air?

    How do I migrate applications such as Word & iWork from my old Macbook Pro running Lion to my new MacbOok Air, running Mountain Lion?
    Thanks for advice. Cheers.

    One way: if you have a backup of your MBP on an external disk which you could connect to your MBA, or you could establish a connection in between the two Macs, you may want to launch the "Migration Assistant" on the MBA. You'll find it in Applications under Utilities. It guides you through the steps and options.
    The other (better) way is re-installing all apps fresh, and best the latest versions and updates to make sure it's all ML compatible. "Purchases" in the App Store are helpful as you simply download and install the latest and greatest again. For MS Word etc you should have the install disks. It's a bit more work but usually worth it.

  • Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ?

    Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
    thanks

    Not directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Does anyone have experience with migrating applications from iAS6.0 SP2 to SP3? Did it go smoothly or are there problems to be expected?

     

    Hi,
    I haven't. But, there are lots of changes from each service packs,
    henceforth you may have to stick to what the documentation says to avoid
    the errors that shoots up. Again, the errors depends upon how you have
    coded your application. Please let me know if you have encountered any
    errors and the messages for me to help you.
