SharePoint 2013 - All Databases Installed to C Drive - How Best to Move Them to Another Drive?

Hello Community!
I have a SharePoint 2013 install with all databases installed to the C drive, (no real content yet), I know need to move all those databases to the D drive which has been designated for data - what is the best way to do this? Please provide guidance
and script examples.
Thanks!

All files in utilities folder gone how best to reinstall them ?

My friend has somehow ended up with her Mac with no files in the utilites folder.. and a search shows they are gone
She is a noob and lives in another country and does not want to do a full reinstall as she is scared of loosing her data.
Is there a way to get these files from the install disks without a reinstall ? I suppose i could copy all my files to a disk and post them too her.. any other ideas?

Download a shareware utility called Pacifist from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. Use it to extract the Utilities folder from the file archives on the Tiger DVD. The archives are found in the /System/Installatin/ folder on the DVD. Because the version of OS X on the DVD is likely different from the installed version on the computer you should then reinstall the 10.4.x Combo Updater (Intel or PPC) for the version of OS X currently installed. This will assure that the files will be current.
I suggest you also repair the hard disk and permissions beforehand:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. Note that Disk Warrior will not work on Intel Macs.
One does not "somehow end up" with no files in the Utilities folder. Someone had to remove them deliberately.

My mac book pro crashed and the logic board died. They said that i could get the hard drive out and it should have all my files on it. How do i get them off and put them on my new computer?

Do you mean a case for the external hard drive? See here. Hope this may be helpful to you.

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.

HT1382 i got an iPad and all my app's, music, and movies are on it, but when i try to download some apps to mi iPhone, they doesn't appear on the purchased tab, how could i move them back to itunes so i can access thru iCloud?

(I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!) I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

I have three "pages" of apps, not all of which are full. How do I move an app from one page to another to consolidate?

Hook your iPad up to your computer and iTunes and move them from within iTunes.
Or
Hold down on one of your apps until they all start to wiggle. Then hold down on the ones you want to move and drag them on the screen. Drag them to the middle left to move them left,(such as from page 2 to page one) middle right ot move them right,(from page 2 to page 3) rearrange as you want.
When you're done, tap the home key and everything should stop wiggling.

I updated my 3GS to os5 and set up icloud and it backed up, although, the backup says incomplete. I turned off the contacts and they are now all gone off the iphone. How do i get them back? I feel like they are in icloud, they are on other iphone i have.

I did turn the contacts back on and it didnt work. I am hoping the wi-fi connection I am on at school is not compatible, and it will work when I get home. Thanks!

My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.

I have synced my phone it has taken all my purchases photos and videos how do i get them back

i have synced my phone it has wiped all my purchases photos and videos how do i get them back

Did you sync to a different computer than the one you had previously synced to? If so you need to sync to the original computer. Otherwise you can just restore the last backup you made on the previous sync.

All my images have disappear and how do I get them back

All my images in all Firefox pages have disappeared. You used to have a button that you could check off to load all images automatically. But its not there in this version on Firefox V24. Worse when this computer a laptop,sync with my desktop computer all images disappeared there as well
How do I get them back, and don't tell me I have to give permissions for each page, as I tried that and it didn't work either.

The setting is a little harder to access now, but here's how you do it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''perm''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If '''permissions.default.image''' is bolded ("user set") or for some other reason not set to the default value of 1, right-click it and choose Reset.
To confirm that this worked, you can switch back to the other tab and reload. Success?

All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back??

All my contacts are wiped out, how do I get them back? I tried to reboot my phone by turning it completely off and on again and that didn't help. I tried syncing to the compluter on itunes and that didn't help, and I tried calling AT&T and that didn't help. They said to make an appt. with Apple and hopefully they could help. They also said that 3 other people came in their store with the same issue this week. If someone out there knows how I could get contacts back on my phone please let me know. Thanks.

There are no contacts on or in iTunes. iTunes does not store contacts. iTunes can serve as the sync conduit to sync contacts between your iPhone and a supported address book app on your computer. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Certainly you don't depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data which can be lost or stolen, damaged beyond repair, or there can be a hardware or software problem preventing access to the contacts.
Windoze or Mac?
Your contacts are not available anywhere on your computer?

I just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?

I have an iphone and just upgraded to the iOS 5 and icloud, but now all my pictures are gone! How do I get them back?? It's weird because it said with the upgrade your photos would be kept, but apps would be erased, yet my apps synced over and not my pictures...

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

When I updated my iphone 4S to iOS 6.0, I lost all of my phone contacts. How can I retrieve them?

Just a guess here, but when you are in Contacts, look to the top where it says Groups. Could yours be set to Hide All Contacts?

HT1386 Hello, I synchronized my iPhones with iTunes, having a new laptop, I had to do this step. But instead of helping it, I lost many applications. All my good applications disappeared. How do I get them back? What I have to do? I bought those app!!!

Hello, I synchronized my iPhones with iTunes, having a new laptop, I had to do this step. But instead of helping it, I lost many applications. All my good applications disappeared. How do I get them back? What I have to do? I bought those app!!!
How is this possible? How can the iTunes eat what I bought and what for? To buy the applications again?! Geez!
Tell me the solution. It must exist one!

You can redownload you previously purchased apps for free as long as they are still available in the app store. Be sure you are logged into the Apple ID in iTunes used to purchase them, then follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
