Transplant​ing old HDD with OS & apps in TS 140 box

The drive controller overheated and died in my desktop; now I want to transplant its HDD into the TS 140 box. I know I'll have to reactivate Win 7 and MS software, but I'd really appreciate advance warning of any tricky stuff I'll likely encounter with this installation. The HDD is modern enough -- 1 TB SATA 7200rpm. Main question: once I plug the drive in and power up, what can I expect?

If windows is installed, then probably blue screen ... But try and report back.

  • How can I replace an old HDD with a new larger one and keep exisiting data?

    I have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda drive in my Windows 7 64-bit desktop machine. It has 3 partitions, one is the boot drive. 
    This drive is four years old and I would like to replace it with a new one -- probably a 3TB Barracuda. I want the new drive
    to behave exactly like the old one -- not interested in upgrading to Windows 8 right now. 
    How would I go about cloning the old drive to the new one so that the new drive also has 3 partitions, but each one is bigger
    -- three times as big, to be exact, with everything working the same as on the old drive?
    I'm thinking that if I just mirror the old drive to the new (using cloning software), the new drive will have 3 smaller partitions
    totaling 1TB and a big empty space of 2TB. Can I then increase the sizes of the existing partitions without destroying any data? Would the boot drive still work?
    Or would it be better to create the 3 partitions of 1TB each on the new drive and then clone the old drive partitions to the
    new partitions? Would the cloning software be able to do that correctly, so everything would still work? Do I need to buy partitioning software? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can't replace old text with new text in a text box

    Hello everyone. This is my first time posting in the forum, so I'm hoping this works out well. We recently purchased a few copies of Adobe Acrobt X for the office, and one of the users is having an issue with editing text in a field. She can type new text into a box, but when she goes back to replace that text with something else, the old text stays. New text appears on top of the old text, and you can see both. Is there a way to simply highlight the old text, delete it, and then replace it with new text? Thanks in advanace for your assistance. I understand this might be confusing, so let me know if you have questions.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    You have to use the text touchup tool (there is a new name like text edit tool in AA X) to edit such text. It sounds like you are using the typewriter tool or something like it. Text editing in Acrobat is not for the weak at heart. It can be very frustrating and is not recommended except for very minor changes. If at all possible, you should edit the original and just recreate the PDF.

  • Discoverer 10g installed with Ora Apps 11i on same box

    I've worked through the "coexistence restrictions" for Discoverer 10g (9.0.4) and 9iR1 (1.0.2.2.x) which states:
    "The following instances of Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) and Oracle9i Application Server Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) can coexist on the same computer only after Oracle9iAS Discoverer has been shutdown in the Oracle9iAS Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) Oracle home:
    1.0.2.2.x Standard Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms
    1.0.2.2.x Enterprise Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms
    1.0.2.2.x Standard Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms without OracleAS Infrastructure 10g
    1.0.2.2.x Enterprise Edition and 9.0.4 Business Intelligence and Forms without OracleAS Infrastructure 10g"
    Does this imply that I can install 11i on a box, permanently shut down Discoverer and then ON THE SAME BOX install 10g Infrastructure and Midtier including Discoverer 10g?
    Has anyone worked through this installation and made it work?
    Thanks

    This IS possible and have now done it with assist from Oracle tech support.
    1. Install 64-bit 10.2.0.1 Databse into OraDb_home.
    2. Install 32-bit 10.2.0.1 Client (needs Windows ODBC extensions) into OraClient_home.
    3. Apply patch 5500954 for 64-bit - this is a Critical Bug patch 8 for 64-bit.
    4. Apply patch 5337014 for 32-bit - this is a patchset to upgrade the Client to 10.0.2.0.3.
    5. Contrary to what Oracle note 334528.1 says (which is to patch the 64-bit Server, you must patch/upgrade the 32-bit client as well (otherwise, it still fails).
    Also, DataDirect's Connect Ver 5.2 ODBC Oracle "wire-driver" (32-bit version) will work without installing the OraClient at all.

  • I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    I backup to an external hdd with Time Machine, when it ran out of space it did not delete old backups, now my internal hdd says its full when before it had heaps of space. I have searched for extra files but cant find any. Can anyone help, please.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    To locate large files, you can use Spotlight as described here. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
    You can also use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

    I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
    Thanks.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • How do I migrate data from my old HDD to the new one I replaced it with?

    I recently upgraded my HDD to a bigger one (160G to 500G). The old HDD still has all of my data which I would like to migrate to the new drive. I purchased a device that a tech at a computer store recommended but when I plug in the old HDD (using this device) to my Macbook pro the HDD doesn't show up in Finder! Can someone explain what's going on and what I need to do to get my data back? Thanks for all your help.

    In the Utilities folder, run Disk Utility with the external disk drive connected and powered up. On the left column of DU's window there should be three devices: the first one would be the name of the new drive you installed and its size, with the volume it has (probably Macintosh HD unless you renamed it) indented below it. Next you should see the device that corresponds to your old drive, now connected via the enclosure the tech sold you; the clue to identifying it is that the name should contain "160 GB" (the size) in it. Below and indented you should see the name your old startup volume had; probably Macintosh HD unless you changed it. And below that you should see SuperDrive, which you can ignore.
    If there is no external device in the list (just your new drive and SuperDrive), that means the Mac can't communicate with the external enclosure; should take it back and have the tech set it up right.
    If there is a second device in the list, corresponding to your old drive, but the indented volum name under it appears grayed out, select it by clicking on the name to highlight it, click on Repair Disk, let the repairs finish and if no errors are found, click on the Mount icon on the upper bar of the window. Your old disk with all your stuff should now be accessible. If it cannot be repaired or it refuses to mount, report back with any and all messages it may show.
    As for moving things over, consider using the Migration Assistant to migrate, as explained here (yours is the third case, Time Machine or other disk migration): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

  • Can't use my old HDD after upgrading with new one,old is GPT protected

    Hi everyone! First of all I would like to thank you in advance!
    Recently I upgraded my old HDD on my MacBookPro. I made a clone of the old disk, installed the new one in the MBP and putted the old one in external enclosure. Now I'm trying to use the old disk with the enclosure, but it doesn't appear in Finder, it appears in Disk Tools, but I can not perform any actions on it. I tried to erase it, but with no success! The old disk is GPT protected and I don't know what to do. Tried to erase it with Windows and Linux with no success neither. I know the enclosure works because it recognize every other disk, but my old one is untouchable to my Mac OS! I'm looking for possible ideas on how to make my old HDD usable with the enclosure?

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/
    http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

  • Having trouble with mail.app always cc'ing myself

    Having trouble with mail.app always reply all is cc'ing myself. Solution was to add another address under the account so that it recoginzes aliases as well as the primary account that you are sending from. Then it will recognize all the addresses and aliases associated with the account.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—again, the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

    Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps
