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

BADI for transfering data from one modal to another modal within single appset

Hallo Experts,
My Business Requirement is Transfer of data from one modal to another in same environment and did this taking reference from below document.(How to custom badi for replicating destination app)
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e04b5d24-085f-2c10-d5a2-c1153a9f9346?QuickLink=index&…
Document contains TR for implementing BADI, but this document supports bpc version 7.0 and we are using is bpc 10.0.
So i make all compatible changes in BADI implementation and activate it. Now i am testing using transaction UJKT using following script.
and the result is records successfully written back to application MIS, but when i check data is not moved to target application MIS.
I am facing stuck situation in my project work. Please Suggest. Hope for positive reply.
Script:
*XDIM_MEMBERSET WM_ACCOUNT = WM_041,
*XDIM_MEMBERSET WM_UOM_02 = UOM_004
*XDIM_MEMBERSET WM_UD_2 = WM_07

Hello,
Here is the manual to copy data between apps (it works with BPC NW75):

It works me, but now I need to modify the Script Logic to make that a "property" from the origin dimension has to be copied to the destination dimension as "id", like follow:
//*XDIM_MEMBERSET CATEGORY = %CATEGORY_SET%
//*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIME_SET%
//*XDIM_MEMBERSET ENTITY = %ENTITY_SET%
//*XDIM_MEMBERSET RPTCURRENCY = %RPTCURRENCY_SET%
*START_BADI FiltroPD
     WRITE = OFF

     ADD_DIM ="O_COSTE = no_input"
     ADD_DIM="CECO = no_input"
     RENAME_DIM="P_ACCT = RATIOS.P_ACCT "

How to transfer app data from one mac to another without using syncing of the iphone?

Right, recently I have tried to change which computer my Iphone syncs with so that my older mac can be sold or disposed of in some profitable form. I have successfully synced all of my music off of one mac onto another via home sharing at which point I connected my phone to my new computer which suggested that the phone needed a software update. Immediately after doing this I realised that my updated Iphone 3GS would no longer sync to my old computer and attempted to sync it just to confirm this- it failed and stated that the iphone could only sync with itunes 10.1 which is a higher spec than that mac can hold. I then feeling doubtful that things would work out tried to carry on as if this problem were absent but I later discovered that I could only transfer the apps that I had synced to my phone to my new mac and all unsynced apps appeared lost because as I stated previously I could not sync with my older mac which contains all of their data. I have consulted the online apple manual for the phone and all it states is the method of transferring purchases in itunes which I tried and is what lead to the copying of my synced apps on to my new mac. What I am asking is is their anyway that I can 'cheat' so to speak at app transfers. I know that somewhere on my old mac the files are stored with the information of the lost apps but I cannot locate them and would not know how to merge them into my newer itunes if I were to copy and paste them to a memory stick (assuming that this is the right method) Other than this is their any other way of downgrading the upgrades of an iphone or somehow tricking itunes into running a higher update than the computer spec? I've tried all I can and this is really annoying- please help!!!!!!

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking... I'll have to look on my Mac at home to see exactly where they are, but you should just be able to copy all the apps from your old machine to thumb drive or over the network and put them in iTunes on the new one, then sync. Right click on one of the apps in your iTunes library and choose Show in Finder. That will point you to where they are.
If you're asking how you can do this and maintain data contained 'within' the apps themselves (high scores, game progress, etc), I don't think there's any way you can do that.

Help transferring data from one account to another

I bought my computer in August 2008 and had previously had an iBook. When transferring my data from my old computer to the new one, I guess I did it wrong so instead of it transferring all to the same place it created two accounts.
Is there way to transfer my music/pics etc to my main account?
Also, my iphone is backed up the other account because thats where all my music is, is there a way to also keep all this data once I am using only the main account?

When you use Migraine Assistant, it transfers the account of the older machine to the newer because the users name is involved in everything, like iTunes playlists etc.,
Since to run Migraine Assistant you need to have gone through setup on the Mac and created the main Admin account, when you Migrate, you transfer the other account so you wind up with two accounts on the new machine.
All you have to do is log into the Admin account of the first user you created, then change the acount status of the Migrained account to Admin and reboot, check it out well, then delete the first Admin account at your own leaisure. However it's best to leave two accounts on the machine, just in case your locked out for some reason.
If you rather transfer your files from one account to another use the Shared Drop Box
If you have three accounts on the machine (original admin and two migrained migrateda accounts), you'll just have to monkey around and clean up the mess.

Haw much time needed to transfer data from one mac to another throughout FireWire

It has been 15 hours since I started transferring data from my old mac to my new one and I cant get throughout the process any tip about the estimated time the amount of data in GB is around 200

That does seem too long for a 200GB transfer, even via FireWire 400. I suspect there's a problem on one of the hard drives that is preventing some data from being read or written successfully. I would cancel the copy process and use Disk Utility to run its Repair Disk routine on each of the drives.

Fatal error while transferring data from one bb to another

I was trying to transfer data from one bb to a different bb using the bb desktop manager tool. It collected all the data from the first bb fine and then while transferring data to the new one it said a fatal error occured to try again. That bb will not even turn on now. No white screen or anything. Its like there is no operating system. I don't know what to do. I tried to connect it and just update the software but that isnt working either. Says it is not responding during initialization! I think I killed it.... any ideas what to do???

You can try to reload the OS in one of the following ways

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.

Transferring data from one table to another table using a Keycolumn using SSIS row by row dynamically

Hi All,
I have a Store Procedure(SP) which has a output variable name "AcivityID" which is the key column. In this SP, transformation of data is done from one table to insert data into other table. I have to execute the SP and insert row by row data
using the output variable "ActivityID" whose value will keep on changing. How can I do it?
Thanks,
Kallu

Value changing on a row by row basis? Not quite sure what you mean, but it seems that you want to use the results of an insert into one table as input for another. If so then SSIS is not needed, inside the stored proc use the SQL that will do that and for
all records as
INSERT A INTO dbo.table1
OUTPUT INSERTED.A INTO MyTable;

What is the quickest way to transfer data from one Mac to another?

I just bought a Macbook Air, and using the Migration Assitant, it says that it will take 32 hours to transfer data from my old Macbook to the Macbook Air.
There must be a quicker way! What happens if I abort?

Unless you can use Thunderbolt Target Disk Mode, the fastest means is to use a Time Machine backup from an external drive, using the quickest port you have compatible with that drive.
However, I would NEVER, ever use Migration Asssistant for a new Mac from an old one. Setup Assistant is exponentially better, even if you have to start over.

Help transferring data from one computer to another

My aunt uses Palm Desktop as her calendar but does not have a palm pda or phone.
Her computer at home recently died but she was able to get the palm installation folder from the old hard drive.
She has Palm Desktop installed at work but the information in it is totally different than what she had at home. She wants to import the data from her home installation into the installation she has at work.
It used to be really easy to transfer settings from one Palm installation to another. Side note: My wife has a Palm Treo 650 and I recently formatted her computer and tried to copy her old installation folder from a backup to the new install directory. Well, it didn't work like it used to. I don't know if the software has changed or what. But, she didn't get everything. It's been a while, I can't remember if she didn't get ANY of it, or just some. I remember at one point it only showed her contacts for A-M...N-Z were just plain gone. Really strange.
But, back on topic, I tried creating a new user in Palm Desktop and then copy the files under her old username folder to the new username folder in the Palm install directory. But, Palm Desktop doesn't show anything for the new username.
How should I go about doing this for her?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Treo 650 (Alltel)

The user on her home install was also Trisha. So, I created a new user on the work computer, "Trisha2". Then I closed Palm and copied the contents of her backed-up Trisha user folder from home into the new Trisha2 folder on the work install. Then I started Palm and flipped to the Trisha2 user. Nothing showed up. So, I've pretty much done the exact process from the link already. Which is exactly the way I thought it should work and have had it work in the past.
I'll try it again without using numbers in the username and see what happens.
Thanks!

How do i transfer all data from one mac to another?

When I started up my new iMac, there was an option to transfer all my data from my older mac (macbook air) to the new iMac. I skipped this step at first, how can I get back to this step and utilize this feature?

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu and double-click the Migration Assistant. Note that if you move a home folder, it’ll create a new user account for it.

Transferring Mail from one Mac to another via Screen Sharing

Hi,
I live in California. My Mother lives in Montreal. She has to computers. A Mac Mini and new MacBook.
What I want to do is transfer her Mail from the Mac Mini to the MacBook via Screen Sharing or Remote Management. In other words, I want to do this from my computer.
How does one go about this? What somewhere is needed to make it all work?
Thanks in advance.

you can't screen share between 3 computers. but you can between two. the easiest way is via ichat. users need to log into ichat on both computers and then you can send a request to share screen via ichat. it's also possible to do it without ichat but that might be more difficult that your mother can manage if she is not too computer savvy which I suspect is the case here. first she has to enable screen sharing in her system preferences->sharing. that's easy. but if she has a router (does she) then she need to port forward port public port 5900 on the router to the port 5900 on her computer so that you can get through the router when trying to screen share from outside. particular instructions on port forwarding depend on the router model. once the port is forwarded you can vnc to here computer from where you are by going to go menu-.connect to server in finder. then in the popup enter
vnc://ip.address
where the ip.address is the ip address of her router. she can find it out by going to this website for example
http://www.whatismyip.com/
but all in all, it's much easier with ichat as no port forwarding is required.

Transferring data from one schem to another

Hi:
I am looking for an efficient way to transfer all the records from one table in a certain schema to it's identical counterpart in another schema. Both schemas are in the same Instance. The tables are "identical" in that they have the same columns as metadata. Any suggestions?
I would like this to be as quick a transfer as possible, so, if it would speed things up, I would like to consider deferring update of indexes of the receiving table until after the records have moved. Is that sort of thing possible? A less attractive approach would be to drop all the indexes, then transfer the records, then recreate all the indexes.
The receiving table will be truncated just prior to the transfer, so perhaps all forms of journaling/undo can be shut off (no need to recover if the transfer failed)
Thanks for any help

You could certainly drop and recreate the indexes as another part of the answer, but the fastest transfer would be a direct-path insert:
insert /*+ append */ into target
select * from source;
