Transferring data with system 10.4.

My daughter wants to transfer the contents of a much older laptop (I'd guess a G4) to a slightly less-older iBook, both, of course using a 10.4. system. Since Migration Assistant is a 10.5. feature, I believe, how best to do this under that older system?

Hey Jake,
Well if the older laptop is indeed a G4 you could use target mode:

This will work on any Apple laptop that has FireWire.
You'd use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to transfer selected files or the entire operating system if appropriate.

  • How to compare a given date with System date?

    The date input for me is of type String and it is in the format
    String s = "1900-00-00 00:00:00.000";
    I need a helper method that will take the above string as input and it should return Boolean value depending on the following condition.
    Date should be less than or equal to current date and greater than the date prior to the date 50 years of current date.
    Thanks in advance...

    I got it.

  • Nokia 6133 - Transferring data with broken screen?

    I clumsily dropped my phone last week and broke the screen. The phone is still operational, but the screen is totally worthless. I'm trying to copy my text messages and contacts from my broken phone to my new phone - but unfortunately neither were saved on the SIM card. The guy at the cell store plugged it into a reader, but it asks him to select settings for mass transfer, and since the screen is broken, he doesn't know which buttons to press or how to select the right settings. 
    Does anyone know what the correct key stroke combinations would be to copy the texts/contacts? Or know of somewhere I could find screen shots of the process? I'd love to be able to rescue my old info.
    Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem!
    Can anyone with the Nokia 6133 take pictures of the screens progressing towards the mass transfer option?  Or even just typing out a solution would be really helpful.  I would be eternally grateful.
    Thanks!

  • Date compare with system date

    Given date time is in yyyyMMddHHmmss format, want to compare with system date time.
    ie given date time is greater than zero then go inside if block otherwise else block.

    I am using below code which always greater than zero. But I want to use compare to method to compare given date with system date and goto if or else condition:
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMddHHmmss");
             String delaytimeFormat = sdf.format(new Date("10/10/2009"));    
             System.out.println("delaytimeFormat: "+delaytimeFormat);

             String newCallbackUrl = null;
            if(timeDiff > 0){

  • Transferring data from my time machine after system software update, but my computer seems to be stuck on "create your account"

    Have just been uploading snow leopard as the pre step to getting lion and have been transferring data from my time machine, but my computer seems to be stuck on "create your account"

    I found a solution!
    Perhaps this is just temporary, but I have my display up and working again.
    Although the symptoms are different were a bit different, the solution here worked:
    http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/120259/grey-screen-after-login-blue-scr een-of-death-from-cmdr
    As I was able to connect to my HD via an external monitor, in the finder, I went to:
    1. Macintosh HD --> System --> Library --> Extensions
    2. From there I moved all of the files that started with ADM and ATI (19 in total for me) to a folder on my desktop. (You will need to enter your admin password for this)
    3. Next was a restart.
    4. Then my display started working again.
    5. After that, I transferred the files back into my Extensions folder.
    6. I then did another restart with my fingers crossed and breath held. It worked.
    Also... During the last few days of trying to find a fix, I restored a Mavericks backup to my computer away from Yosemite.
    I'm very sure this problem occurred when I put my MBP to sleep, disconnected the power in its sleep, while something was connected to a USB port and unplugging the USB device (for me an iPhone charger) while the MBP was closed.
    I hope this helps the next person.

  • I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data.

    I have an external hard drive from my time capsule that stopped working on me. I am attempting to access the data with a hard drive reader on my MAC. I am able to see the drive in disk utility and under system info USB. But I am unable to access the data and it does not show on the desktop when connected.

    Ok if disk utility was able to verify the drive I doubt there is any problem.. are you trying to open a TM backup??
    You need to mount the sparsebundle then check the actual info inside the bundle.
    Don't use disk warrior.. if the disk has verified then unless you deliberately deleted files there is nothing that is going to do.
    Pondini has a lot of stuff about getting access to the sparsebundle.
    http://pondini.org/TM/17.html
    But if you have copied info to the TC that is now gone.. and the disk is ok.. I am not sure.. the TC will not have deleted the files itself.

  • TS4062 I am trying to install garage band onto my ipad but it says i need to be in ios7.   but when i go to update my system it says I am upd to date (with ios 5).   What do I do??

    I am trying to install garage band onto my ipad but it says i need to be in ios7.   but when i go to update my system it says I am upd to date (with ios 5).   What do I do??

    Download the current GarageBand version to a computer's iTunes library, go to the device, sign into the iTunes App Store with the Apple ID used to do that, and try downloading it from the list of previous purchases. If that doesn't work and you don't already have a copy of a compatible version, you can't.

  • How to get dates with respect to System Date?

    Hello,
    I am trying to get Date value after 30 days of my System current date. I am using
    System.out.println(new java.util.Date(System.currentTimeMillis()+30*3600*24*1000));
    but I am not getting correct date.
    Suppose my system date is 15July then after executing this code I should get 14Aug, but it is giving a date of month June.
    Please suggest solution for this.
    Thanks,
    Niket

    This doesn't have anything to do with the Collections Frameworks. You should direct this type of question to "Java Programming".
    Here is the code you're looking for anyway...
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
    public class thirty
        public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException
         Calendar todaysdate = new GregorianCalendar();
         SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
         System.out.println("today's date: " + sdf.format(todaysdate.getTime()));
         todaysdate.add(Calendar.DATE, 30);
         System.out.println("thirty days later: " + sdf.format(todaysdate.getTime()));
    }

  • How can I load data with Scripts on *FDM* to a HFM target System????

    Hi all!
    I need help because I can´t find a good guide about scripting on FDM. The problem I have is the next one.
    I have on mind to load my data with data load file in FDM to a HFM target system, but I would like to load an additional data using an event script, ie after validate. I would need any way to access to HFM system though FDM Scripts, is it possible??
    If so, It would be wonderful to get a data from HFM with any Point of View, reachable from FDM Scripts in order to load or getting any data.
    I´ve looking for a good guide about scripting in FDM but I couldn´t find any information about accessing data on HFM target system, does it really exist?
    Thanks for help

    Hi,
    Take a look at the LOAD Action scripts of your adapter. This might give you an idea.
    Theoretically it should be possible to load data in an additional load, but you need to be very careful. You don't want to corrupt any of the log and status information that is being stored during the load process. The audit trail is an important feature in many implementations. In this context it might not be a good idea to improve automation and risk compliance of your system.

  • Scheduling a report with System Date as prompt

    Hi Experts,
    We have came across a requirement where users want to have a date prompt.
    While scheduling the report, by default prompt is to be populated with system date and it (prompt) should also allow us to select a different date.
    This report is used for regular run and also for scheduling.
    We need a single report with single prompt which allows us to run for any random date when prompted and also to be scheduled for the latest date.
    Please give us advice/ suggestion.
    Thanks
    Uttam

    Hi Neil,
    We have tried both the approaches given by you, but it is not working for my requirement.
    Let me explain it with the below scenario.
    scenario:
      we have developed the report by using 2 data providers,
    Dp1: It is a custom Query with date as follows ( it is a Transaction data) which brings the data from 1st day of month(user prompt) to user's prompt date.
    TRANSACTION_DATE BETWEEN last_day(ADD_MoNTHS(@Prompt('As Of Date :','DT','ABC\plant\Transaction Date',Mono,Free,Persistent,,User:0)
    Dp2: It is also Custom Query, but it has only data on month ends.
    DIMV_plant_EOP.TRANS_END_OF_MONTH_DATE = last_day(ADD_MoNTHS(@Prompt('As Of Date :','DT','ABC\plant\EOP plant Attributes\EOP Date',Mono,Free,Persistent,,User:0),-1))
    Report is having 3 prompts, namely
    1) As of date (prompt)
    2) Plant (prompt)
    3) Country (Prompt)
    For example: if my report is ran on 06-june-2014,
    DP1: Brings the data from 1st of June to 6th of june.
    DP2: Brings the Data from Inception to last month(say 30-may-2014) because it has only month end data.
    Upto this it is fine.... but
    My requirement is to schedule the report daily......
    Example: User want to schedule a report today(10-July-2014), tomorrow(11-July-2014) and so on...
    Scheduling should be done daily i.e, it has to fetch the data 10-Jul-2014, 11-july-2014,12-july-2014.... so on. 
    Automatically scheduling has to take the current date.
    Thanks,..

  • Load Grid with data from System.Data.DataTable

    Hi all.
    A have a System.Data.DataTable e need load a grid with data from this DataTable.
    How Load a Grid with data from System.Data.DataTable?

    Hi Francisco,
    actually i don't think that you can use a .NET datatable to fill a business one grid.
    the business one has it's own datatable.
    in c# it would look like this:
    oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Add("MyDataTable");
    ((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).DataTable = oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item("MyDataTable");
    oForm.DataSources.DataTables.Item(0).ExecuteQuery("SELECT Field FROM [dbname].dbo.TABLE");
    ((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).CollapseLevel = 1;
    ((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).AutoResizeColumns();
    ((SAPbouiCOM.Grid)(oForm.Items.Item("grid").Specific)).SelectionMode = SAPbouiCOM.BoMatrixSelect.ms_Single;
    good night
