Transferring data from one mac pro to another with firewire

I have owned an ibook G4 and a Macbook pro 17 in. The Macbook Pro 17 in was a 2006 and the video went out on it/conveniently 1 mo after Applecare expired!. I took it in and the genius bar sent it out to the depot but they determined it was damaged and refused to fix it (it had a tiny dent on the lid that I do not know how it got there unless the mag adapter did it while in the case). So I lost a $3k laptop. I now have a new Macbook Pro 15 in just purchased and I transferred all the data from the ibook G4 and the 17 in. by firewire using migration assistant. The problem is I have about 5 accounts now because it would not let me transfer things under the same name so I had to rename accounts and create new ones in order to transfer stuff. My question is, how do I go about incorporating all the accounts into one on this new 15 inch MBPro?

Target disk mode may be what you're looking for. Hold down the "T" key while booting. See the Apple support article for more information.

Can I move hard drives from one Mac Pro to another?

I have two mid-2010 Mac Pros that I work with daily - one 8-core on 10.7.3 and one 12-core on 12.7.4. I would like to take all of the drives out of one Mac Pro and put them in the other and vice versa, essentially trading their content. It probably sounds pointless, but I would like to build the more powerful one out from scratch, and right now the less powerful one is nearly empty.
Can I simply shut off both machines and swap all of the drives in one for all of the drives in the other? I would keep them in the same bays in the machine I'm trading them with, but I'm unsure if I will screw something else up.

I've moved drives from a Mac Pro 1,1 to a 5,1 and they were able to boot the newer Mac, but to ensure that the OS was configured for the newer machine, I ran the appropriate combo updater once the drive was installed. If you're planning to stick with the drive rotation, doing that shouldn't hurt and might help even though the machines are of the same vintage. Note, however, that some commercial software keys in on machine specifics and/or the serial number to prevent piracy, so swapping drives can cause other problems.

Transferring data from one external drive to another

HI,
I want to get a new external hard drive and transfer all of the data from my old one - which is not full, but has started to click and operate slowly. The old external hard drive is where I keep the music files for my itunes library, as well as all my personal files. I run all software on my iMac, OS 10.6.8 (i.e. the itunes Library files are on the imac's internal hard drive - the music files themselves are on the external).
Is there a link or a manual that someone can point me towards to perform this operation smoothly?
Much appreciated,
Scott

Make sure the new drive is formatted Mac OS extended. You don't need to do anything fancy with erasing or partitioning.
Kappy's brief drive formatting instructions (12/2012) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20571091#20571091
BDAqua's Formatting instructions - http://discussions.apple.com/message/8901255
Pondini: Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks... - http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html, specifically http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
Drag all the contents of one drive to the other. This make take some time and you may wish to break it up into groups of folders.
Once you have the iTunes folder on the new drive you will encounter a problem because you decided to keep your library files on the internal drive and your media files on the external drive (not normally recommended unless you have specific reason for not keeping them all in the iTunes folder in one place). Unless you give the new drive exactly the same name and folder structure as far as iTunes is concerned you will end up with broken links for all your tracks because iTunes will look for them on the old drive. If you keep iTunes's normal preferences for managing media but have simply redirected it to use an external drive, change the preferences in iTunes so it is now pointing to the media folder on the new drive.
Hold on, you aren't done yet. Your links are still broken. Click on a track. When iTunes asks you to find it, look for the particular file in your media folder on the new drive. Hopefully iTunes will ask if you want to find others too and will do so automatically (be patient).

Transferring data from one internal table to another

Hi,
I have two internal tables it_acct and it_acct1 as below.
data: begin of it_acct occurs 0,
      belnr like bkpf-belnr,
      bldat like bkpf-bldat,
      augcp like bseg-augcp,
      vbeln like bseg-vbeln,
      end of it_acct.
data: begin of it_acct1 occurs 0,
      belnr like bkpf-belnr,
      cpudt like bsad-cpudt,
      vbeln like bseg-vbeln,
      end of it_acct1.
select belnr cpudt vbeln into corresponding fields of table it_acct1
              from bsad where cpudt in s_cpudt.
Now I want to move the data from it_acct1 to it_acct . I have no data in it_acct now.
i want to move it_acct1-belnr to it_acct-belnr,
          move it_acct1-cpudt to it_acct-augcp,
          move it_acct1-vbeln to it_acct-vbeln.
Can someone help me how to code to move the data from it_acct1 to it_acct.
Regards,
D

Hi Dev,
Just add an additional line in Naren's code to get proper results at any time.
LOOP AT IT_ACCT1.
IT_ACCT-BELNR = IT_ACCT1-BELNR.
IT_ACCT-VBELN = IT_ACCT1-VBELN.
it_acct-augcp = it_acct1-cpudt.
APPEND IT_ACCT.
<b>CLEAR IT_ACCT.</b>
ENDLOOP.
If you didnt include CLEAR statement, even if IT_ACCT1 doesnt have any values for all fields or few fields in the next record, it will take values of previous one and it may lead to improper results.So it is a good practise to have CLEAR statement after APPEND statement in LOOP...ENDLOOP.
Thanks,

Boot the mini into TD mode
Connect it to the "other" Mac
Insert the install disk in the "other" Mac
Start the installer which will reboot the "other" Mac
Once the "other" Mac has restarted and is running from the install disk, you should be able to select the Mini's drive (the FW disk) as the install destination. If not, go into the Disk Utility (under the "Utilities" menu) and check out the FW disk. You may need to "repair" it, repair permissions or reformat it depending on the condition of the disk and the type of partition it contains.

Transferring data from one mac to another

I recently bought a second hand mac from ebay and it was pretty empty. There are some settings still from the previous user.
My old mac's backlight has died and the only way to use it is to link it up to my tv.
I have tried using the Migration assistant via WI-FI and ethernet cable and both haven't worked.
I'm considering taking the hard drive out of the mac and using it as an external hard drive. There are a couple of programs i've tried to download but dont work and i'd really like my firefox settings back!
I was also wondering if i was able to take the RAM from the old mac and install it in the new mac?
All suggestions welcome.

The model 5,1 is the Aluminum Unibody and doesn't have a FireWire port which would be the easiest way to transfer.
To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.
Here's a cheap SATA external hard drive case on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/SATA-Hard-Drive-Case-Enclosure/dp/B001AAVA08/ref=pd_cp_e_0
You can't take the RAM from the 3,1 and put it in the 5,1. The model 3,1 (Late 2007) uses 200 pin 667mhz PC2-5300 RAM and the model 5,1 (Late 2008, Aluminum Unibody) uses 204 pin 1066mhz PC3-8500 RAM
However RAM is cheap for the 5,1 http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade/DDR3

Transferring data from one custom field to another

Dear SAP gurus,
I have requirement that we create custom field in Shopping Cart and PO, and when creating PO referring to the Shopping Cart the content of the custom field in SC need to be defaulted automatically in PO. For example I create SC 'A' and inputting 'X' in custom field in SC. When creating PO from SC, in the screen, the custom field in PO should be automatically populated by 'X'.
Is there any way to accomodate this in SRM?
Best regards,
John

Hello John,
Did you give different field name for the custom field in SC and PO structure.
If the field names are same then only it will automatically populate the value.
Sc custom value is getting saved in Data base table check once.

Transferring songs from one itunes account to another with song info.

I'm curious to know if this is possible. I download a lot of music at work under my boss's itunes account. I burn a cd and download it to my home computer, under my account. The songs play, but it's missing the info./grace note tag. What are my options, besides manually adding the info to each song? Is it possible to use my itunes account on my work computer? Thanks so much!!

Michaela A,
There is no direct way I know of in iTunes for coping your songs to an external device like a harddrive or memory and transfering to another PC. You have to do it in windows explorer. There is an artical on using your iPod to transfer music from a old PC to a new one. You can use these steps if you have an ipod or read them to get a general idea on what you need to do to transfer using your memory stick. If you use the stick you may not need to do some steps or alter others, but here a link to the artical
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
You may even set up a home network, like a wireless one. then you could transfer tons of things between them or use the share feature in iTUnes, so you could have all the music on one and access the music on the other laptop via the network

What's the RFC name for BPS to transfer data from one Plan-Area to another?

I created a role for BPS planner.This include all authorization except the RFC authorization for transfering data from one plan-area to another.However, even I set the '*' to the RFC name. Am I missing something? Any suggestion is appreciated.
Best regard,

Hi Vlad,
Thanks for your reply. It's helpful.
Finally, I found that this error message will be pop-up when the authorization is not right. For example, if you don't have right authorization to access the corrsponding InfoCube which the BPS is based on. Now, I find the root cause and fixed this issue.

I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

I transferred data from my Macbook Pro to my Mac mini but it forced me to make a new user for my old data. How do I transfer my music, pics, and docs from the "old" user to the new user (so that I only have one user instead of 2?)

Unless you transfer the files from Setup Assistant, Migration Assistant creates a new user with the data.
To transfer the files to your first user, you have to log on this new user, and copy all your files to /Users/Shard folder. This is a folder where you can put the files you want to share between two or more users, and all users can read and write in it.
After copying the files, go to your first user, open /Users/Shared folder, and copy the files to your user folders. If you migrated applications, you must know that they are stored in a common folder (/Applications), so you don't have to transfer them. To open /Users/Shared folder, open Go menu (in the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type the folder

Transaction data from one cost center to another cost center

Hi All
Can any one tel me how to move the Transaction data from one cost center to another cost center .
My scenario is basically : Users posted for company code 1003 for Cost center S00570 for the period 01.04.2007 to 30.11.2007 but it has to go to company code 1000 instead of 1003 for the same Cost center .S00570 .
What we have done is that we have changed the cost center from 01.12.2007 on words to the correct company code 1000 and now all postings are going to the right company code ie
to company code 1000.
Now the problem is how to bring back the old historical data posted from 01.04.2007 to 30.11.2007 to wrong company code the 1003 to correct company code 1000 .
Is there a way to bring back the historical data which has posted to wrong company code .
Thanks in Advance .
Any help highly appreciated and points are assigned .
Cheers
Ravindra.

Once you have changed the company code in the master data, then the entries with respect to the different company code cannot be transferred. Please follow the process below and let me know if it works.
1. Revert the cost center master data to the original company code.
2. Repost the line items from this cost center to another cost center. Use tcode KB61. The cost center you will be reposting will be a routing cost center (say XXXXX).
3. Once all the line items have been reposted, change the master data of the cost center to the correct company code.
4. Again repost the costs from the routing cost center(XXXXX) to the correct cost center. You should have all the line items to the correct cost center now.
For more on reposting refer the link below:

Don't try transferring Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism (150:30 error).

How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

Hi All,
         How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
         Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
Please Advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Saket Tiwari,
I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
1) Append data line by line.
     Syntax : APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
2) Using COLLECT statement.
             COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables. Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
     Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
3) Using INSERT statement
     Syntax INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
Now coming to your request..
To append part or all of an internal table
     Syntax
              APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
*     Note:
Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
     Syntax
          INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
          INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
c) Using Move statement.
To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
     Syntax MOVE <itab1> To <itab2>.
               OR
          <itab1> = <itab2>.
but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line the syntax becomes,
ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
for this we use
                            MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
    this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
        sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
I hope the information provided has been of your help.
Reward if useful.
Regards,
Jose
