Transfering data using switch device manager from old palm to new curve 8330....please help!!!

Trying for hours to import data using switch device manager from old Palm Treo and Palm Desktop 4.2 to my new Blackberry Curve 8330. Blackberry seem to connect...but second step of choising Palm or Mircrosort will not allow me to select anything. I do not believe Palm is connecting...Is my palm to old? If I cannot tranfer data this way, especially contacts is there any other way besides entering it into Blackberry one by one?

Hi there!
If the device switch wizard is not working, check this KB to be sure all of your Palm things are compatible and that you are using the correct process:
KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
And then see this KB for some troubleshooting help
KB10722 BlackBerry Desktop Manager does not detect the Palm software when using the Switch Device Wizard
And if it happens that it will not work, then you will have to find out how to export from your Palm to an ASCII or CSV file...then you can import it with this process:
KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Give me a simply way to transfer my ITunes from old Mac to new Mac. PLEASE!

I have a new MacBook Pro and want to transfer my iTunes from my old, but still functional eMac. I have my iTunes folder backed up to an external drive. My songs are a mixture of uploaded CDs and iTunes Store purchases.
I need a straightforward way of doing this. I have searched previous posts, but haven't found any to point me in the right direction.
Question: Do I need to first de-authorize the old eMaC? And then authorize the new Macbook before I begin any transfer?
Will it be easier to transfer from the external hard drive?
And, I assume, when I connect the external drive to the MacBook with Firewire, I just drag over the iTunes folder and drop it where?
Thanks for any help; the last thing I want to do is spend the next month posting questions on how to clean up a mess from one of my ham-handed moves.

you should authorize your MB before you begin. you can deauthorize the eMac later (unless you have already reached the limit of 5 authorized machines).
And, I assume, when I connect the external drive to the MacBook with Firewire, I just drag over the iTunes folder and drop it where?
assuming that the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) is on the external, just drag the folder to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the MacBook. this will overwrite the iTunes folder (probably devoid of content) in that location.
when the move's done, firing up iTunes should take you to the library you were used to from the eMac.
Another question: Do I need to consolidate the iTunes Library before I do anything? I am not sure what consolidation does, but I remember reading about it.
when consolidating your library, iTunes will copy all files it knows of to the location you have designated in preferences > advanced > iTunes media folder location. for example, if you have spread content over a couple of smaller HD's and now want to combine all of it on one big drive, you would consolidate your library.
if all your media files are on the external already, you don't need to consolidate.

Re: Old iWeb to new iweb problems -please help

1. I've been experimenting with the new iweb, and I inserted the html on the page,
then I uploaded onto the internet to see what it looked like, and now I can't delete
the html from the page. What should I do?
2. I took my original iweb pages and created new pages with the new iweb
using the original addresses, and on the internet, it says page not found.
What should I do?
3. I have videos created with imovie, but in the new iweb they are not showing up on the internet, they upload to a folder, but not onto the internet, I tried everything. What should I do?
Thanks,
Barbara

1) Do you mean that you insert HTML into a snippet box?. If so, delete the box and republish.
2) If you are publishing to the Apple server then the page URLs are different. iWeb '06 publish to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb folder and iWeb '08 publishes to Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites. The old URL will have iWeb in it and this needs to be cut.
30 iWeb '08 stores your movies in the "Media" folder. Make sure you have uploaded it.

HT3258 after transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?

How can I see the data and application that I transferred from Old Mac to New Mac?
Transfer of all the files and application was successful but I can't see it on the New Mac.
Help.

Thanks for your reply
I did reboot the system.
still can't see new user.
One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
at the end a message came up
" 2013-09-11 04:18:05 +0000 Paul Nirwan could not be created.
I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.

I had a data migration done from old iMac to new iMac, how do I use that file to find my old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

I recently had a data migration from old iMac to new iMac 11.2
How do I use that data file to get old email contacts, Safari bookmarks, etc ?

FireWire cables are dirt cheap and that's how you should be doing the migration. You might have to start over, wiping the new machine's HD, and restoring the software as described in the Everything Mac manual that came with it. See Best Practices and Setup new Mac for more details.

HT4889 I just transferred data using migration assistant from a macbook prop to a macbook. I am trying to log back into the user that was on the pro but is now on the macbook with the same password as before, and it says my password is incorrect.

Suggest you try the password for the Macbook, not the previous one.

Transferred library from old PC to new, lost all files dl'd from ITunes

Transferred music files from old pc to new with minimal difficulty, but have now realized all songs downloaded to my library from ITunes have failed to make the trip!
I used the Ipod itself to transfer the files, as I couldn't figure out how to get the 2 pc's to transfer files via a wireless connection. Now my 60gb Ipod which had ~5800 songs using ~22gb its memory states it has 5275 songs on it and only 15.7gb available. Where did I manage to screw this up?
I imagine there is a problem where this new computer has not been authorized. True? When I first download some new songs from Itunes, will it then be authorized and my songs will reappear? Why is the amount of memory affected?
Thanks mucho for any available help. I have searched for quite a while, but haven't been able to find someone who has had the same experience or trouble.
G

I'd imagine that's because you had no music files on your newly reformatted drive, and when you reattached your shuffle it loaded an empty file, hence no tunes.
This (transferring the files from computer to computer) was done using the instructions found here.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Don't know if that works for the shuffle, though.

I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
Download any music by clicking on the cloud button

Import (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire. All photos ( many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS.

Attempted to import 6.5 GB of (v. 7.1.5) iPhotos from old iMac to new iMac (v. 9.2) using Migration Mgr. over fire wire. All photos (plus many dups) appeared in EVENTS and PHOTOS in the new Mac – but NO ALBUMS. I read a previous response to a similar question -- to copy the pictures library to the new computer. How best to do that?

There's actually an option to iPhoto Library Manager that makes this all almost work flawlessly (and work well enough for me). With the exception of Photo Albums that the pictures are part of, if you select "Library > Rebuild Library..." and then select "Scavange Orphaned Photos" check box, then it will put all the Photos and Movies into the "Scavanged Photos" album. It matches the modified pictures to their originals. It preserves all the event names and photo groupings. All the meta-data I could spot check it got right (although with 44k pictures, I only checked a few). If you fail to select this option, however, it will find no pictures at all when it goes to rebuild the library (this was true of the small test libraries I tried as well as the big, monster 280GB library I just finished converting). The conversion process took 5 hours to run, but in the end produced a library my new iPhoto can read and that I can interact with. I'll be suggesting to the iPhoto Library Manager folks a notation that would estimate the number of Orphaned Photos and display that number as a hint to the user that the option would be useful.
Edited: Thanks to Old Toad and LarryHN for their help in finding which of the many options to transition this library to 9.5.1 I needed to use. Sorry if I took my frustration of the past several months out on you guys for generously trying to help me.

How do i transfer my data from old iphone to new iphone

how do i transfer my data from old iphone to new iphone

You need to sync the data from your old iPhone, to the computer via iTunes. Once the data is on the computer, you then need to sync it to the new iPhone, also via iTunes.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/#video-sync - this is a link with a short video that teaches you how to sync your iPod / iPhone using iTunes
If you sycn with iCloud, you can also sync some of the data via iCloud. This may not work for all you music, if it was not purchased via iTunes.

Data import from old system to new system, key by raw16 column

hi, experts,
now, I have a new system, the system design is to use raw(16) column as key column in all database tables.
of course, when new system goes live (in production), all new transaction records are written to new system database.
when the new system inserts new records, it handles itself to avoid conflicts by value of the raw(16) key column
I now face this issue:
I need to import data from old system to new system, I use sys_guid() to fill up the raw(16) column in new system database.
how can I avoid the conflict from value of raw(16) column between old system data and new system database data?
the sql I write is very simple:
insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16, ..., ... )
select sys_guid(), old_sys_col_a, old_sys_col_b
from old_sys_table_a;

Hi,
Can you try this as a synch script (you can call so), sys_guid is a sequence, so just run through till u have sequence surpassing your old sequence. Give it a try..

Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

Hello,
I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

The method you used should work if followed exactly.
The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.
Vista file folder permissions help
