Way of migration?

i´ll have my new mac book air in the next days and now i´m a bit worried about the migration from my macbook. i used to do it via firewire which never gave me any problems. but as the mba does not provide you with a firewire port i had planned to do it wirelessly. now i hear people saying the wireless migration gets stuck after 5 minutes, it takes 20 hours and so on. my question now is if it´s possible to migrate with about 40gb of data wirelessly and if there is another way of migration that i could choose (using the migration assistant)? via ethernet? but i don´t really know how to set that up.

I agree -- I've been using a USB Ethernet connection on the MBA to migrate my data from my MacBook to the MBA. I've tried to do this wirelessly and it's annoyingly slow (24hrs then hanged) yet the Ethernet connection managed this in 3hrs.
Only problem is that I'm having serious problems using the Mac Migration Assistant; it copies stuff to my MBA but then the files it copies aren't visible to me at all; even though my MBA hard disk shows that a lot of space on the hard disk has been used up -- strange but am on the phone at the moment to AppleCare to discuss it.

  • Best way to migrate iTunes and iPod to new hard drive

    Currently, my iTunes Library is referencing music files that sit on my music data drive (E:drive). My Library is actually on another data drive (D: drive), while my OS and apps are on the C: drive. I also have a networked Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive that has a duplicate copy of all of my music files.
    One of the reasons I have the NAS is to have 24/7 access to my music files through a Sonos Zone Player system (highly recommend this) hooked up to my stereo. The Sonos player is able to pickup all of my playlists but because iTunes creates the plalists thinking that all of the songs reside on my E:drive, they are broken links as far as Sonos is concerned.
    So my quesion is, what is the best way to redirect my iTunes Library so that it pulls the songs from the NAS rather than my internal E:drive? Since the NAS is always on, I don't care that when I want to play songs on my computer, it pulls them off of the NAS. In "migrating" the music file links, I'd like to maintain all of my rankings, play counts, and playlists. Is this possible?
    If not, then at a minimum, I'll be swapping out my E:drive for a larger one and need to know the best way to migrate the music files. It would be simple to just take out my current music file drive, swap in the new drive, and copy the files from the NAS drive onto the new drive. Do I need to de-authorize my computer at the start so iTunes doesn't think I'm giving permission to a new computer? Will my play counts, ratings, and playlists still show up? Regarding the latter, I'm guessing yes since the Music Library isn't being touched (on the D: drive).
    Hope this makes sense to someone.
    Thanks in advance,

    Well, you'll need to reinstall iTunes and the iPod updater.
    Did you happen to save the iTunes library file?

  • What is the recommended way to migrate a RH8 project to another PC?

    I am hoping to get advice on the recommended way to migrate a RH8 project to another PC – the project has been upgraded from earlier version of RH and other users and appears to be carrying a lot of baggage (strange and exotic files). I looked for an “export” function but failed to see any guidance on this in the forums. Hope you can help.

    Zip the folder on PC1. Copy the zip to PC2. Unzip it.

  • Is there a way to migrate my iPhoto content into Lightroom 5?

    I have been using iPhoto as my photo organising app since I first got my Mac, and I'm reasonably happy with the way it works. I have all my photos organised into 'Events', and it is all very satisfactory.
    However I am aware that iPhoto is on it's way out with the upcoming release of Yosemite in the autumn, and so I wondered about changing over to the 3rd Party, (but highly recommended), Adobe Lightroom app.
    I've paid my money for the Adobe 'Creative Cloud' subscription package, which includes full versions of both Lightroom 5 and Photoshop, but I've hit a snag when I come to migrate my photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 into Lightroom 5.5.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to migrate iPhoto content -organised into Events- into Lightroom please?
    I am running iPhoto under OS X 10.9.4.

    iPhoto is not on the way out with the release of Yosemite. Apple have stated that it will be updated to run on Yosemite. That means that iPhoto will continue to run for another 18 months at least.  iPhoto will then be migrated into a new App, called Photos, sometime in 2015. This migration will include the seamless adapting of your iPhoto app to the new Library. Even then, iPhoto will still continue to run until you update to a version of the OS that doesn't run it at all. There has been a lot of discussion on the merits or otherwise of migrating to Lightroom. One thing is sure is that there is no rush, and it might be worth waiting to see what the new Photos app is like before making such a big decision.
    You've gone from using a consumer level Photo Manager (retail cost $15) to a using two very serious professional level applications (combined retail cost about $800 - if you could still buy Photoshop at retail at all.) Even at subscription rates thats $100+ per year. Are you sure that's what you want to do? That's a heck of a learning curve for a start.
    Anyway to cases:
    Lightroom has no ability at all to parse an iPhoto Library. There is no migration path at all. So you'll need to export your Events to folders in the Finder. Then import those to Lightroom.
    When you export you're going to have to choose which version to export - the original or the edited versions. Or both - and have duplicates in your Lightroom library. Also, you'll need to consider what to do with metadata that you may have added in iPhoto. Along the way you'll lose the non-destructive editing feature.

  • Easy way to migrate users from one machine to another?

    I have an iMac lab where students have their own local accounts. The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD. New school year, new seating charts, some users must move. Is there an easy way to migrate a user and all their stuff from one machine to another? We do have Remote Desktop BTW. I'm not finding an obvious answer so I guess there isn't but I sure wish there were. I suppose they could copy anything they want onto the server. set up a new account on the new machine and pull it all back off the server, but that's not "easy".

    Hi
    +The machines are bound to W2k Server with AD.+
    This could be a telling statement although without further information it would be hard to say?
    What I'm assuming from this is that current mac clients are bound to Active Directory. This would mean that user accounts exist on the Server and not locally. In which case there would be nothing to transfer other than the local admin account - again assuming you want the applications installed on the current client macs transferring over to the new client macs.
    To be honest it would be easier and less hassle to create a new local admin account and install compatible software fresh. Use the same tools you used to 'bind' the old client macs to Active Directory for the new client macs.
    +We do have Remote Desktop BTW+
    You could utilize this to (a) name all the new mac clients with appropriate hostnames and (b) 'bind' new mac clients by issuing dsconfigad from the command line. If this seems like too much hard work then you could simply exercise your legs and walk round each one in turn.
    Even if your current mac clients are configured with Mobile Accounts (locally cached network accounts) this would still not be a problem as you can manually or automatically sync the locally cached networked home folder back to the server and then log in with that account again on the new mac clients. The home folder should then be cached locally.
    This assumes you've configured Directory Utility in the appropriate way.

  • Best way to migrate Applications across environments of different versions

    Hello Gurus,
    Source EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.1.3
    Target EPM Environment - EPM 11.1.2.2
    What is the best way to migrate applications for Planning , Essbase , HFM and also the related reports from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2 .
    Any help will be highly appreciated..
    Thanks
    HyperEPM.

    I tried with upgrading the application and it was done pretty smoothly as compared to the LCM import export method.
    Now what would be the feasible way to move all the applications when following is the scenario and we need a minimum downtime.
    1. Move from EPM 11.1.1.3 to EPM 11.1.2.2
    2. DB used to configure EPM 11.1.2.2 should be fresh and not the existing one.
    3. We want to move all the applications across to EPM 11.1.2.2 on the freshly configured EPM 11.1.2.2.
    4. Move all the applications intact across the version.
    Thanks

  • Best way to migrate data

    I'm having a new HD installed and I'm using TM to back up my data to a new HD. What is the best way to migrate the data from my external HD to my new installed HD? thanks

    To use Time Machine you must first boot into OS X which means you have to install OS X from somewhere. A fresh install of Leopard from DVD takes roughly 1-2 hours depending on the speed of your computer and optical drive. Then you have to restore your data with TimeMachine and that will take ????. Obviously that depends on how your TM drive is connected to the computer and how much data there is to transfer.
    A SuperDuper clone is bootable. You connect the drive to your computer and boot into the drive. Was your crash catastrophic and at a horrible time? You are back in business right now - not 2-? hours from now as you would be with TimeMachine. That is the big advantage of SuperDuper.
    TimeMachine will have/has had a huge impact on my backup scheme but I'm still assessing how I'll ultimately use it. What I do know is that I'll continue to clone my computers using SD so that if Murphy strikes I'll be right back in business immediately.

  • Best way to migrate Mailboxes with all permissions Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2010--cross forest

    Hi,
    Due to some Exchange and Active Directory issues (with remnants of old Ex 2003 server), we are going to migrate Exchange 2010 Mailboxes and public folders to a new Exchange 2010 Sp3 server, which is created in a new AD forest.
    I would really appreciate if someone can direct us to the best way to migrate mailboxes and PFs with their permissions, to new Ex 2010 SP3 server. We have around 30 mailboxes, and 300 GB of mailboxes data, and 200 GB of PFdata.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Regards, David Johnson

    Hello,
    Firstly, you need to creat forest trust between two forests.
    If you want to move AD user account and mailboxes, please use ADMT and PrepareMoveRequest script.
    If you want to migrate public folder, please export data to PST file and then import pst file to new server.

  • Best way to migrate iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, Address Book to Mac?

    I have been a user of Macs since 1985, but my wife has always used Windows (and before that, MSDOS).
    I have now gotten for her a new MacBookPro and would like suggestions on the best way to migrate the data needed to sync her iPhone with the new Mac.
    Currently, her contacts and calendar are in Microsoft Outlook for Windows, her photos are in some kind of Windows program and her music is in iTunes for Windows.
    What is the smoothest, easiest way to migrate these Windows files into a Mac format so she can use iCal on the Mac for her calendar, Address Book for contacts, iPhoto for pix and transfer her music from iTunes/Windows to iTunes for Mac?
    Is there any way to just sync the new MacBookPro with the iPhone and have it upload the data from the iPhone to the Mac????
    Just lookin' for the easiest way to do this....

    HI All,

    Hi,
    “You cannot upgrade directly from the server products in the Office 2007 release to SharePoint 2013. The changes between versions are too great, and the hardware requirements differ so much between versions that a direct upgrade is not possible
    or supported. However, you can perform a series of database-attach upgrades to first upgrade your content to SharePoint 2010 Products and then to SharePoint 2013. This article describes how to perform these sequential database-attach upgrades.”

  • What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

    What is the best way to migrate your Adobe software to another computer?

    If you know that you do not intend to use the software on the old machine (especially if you are getting rid of it), the minimum you need to do is deactivate it.  That will disable use of it and free up an extra activation for you should you ever wish to have two machines available to use it on.  To deactivate you just open an application and choose Help -> Deactivate.  If this happens to be a Creative Suite, doing that to just one of the applications will deactivate the entire Suite.
    You can also uninstall the software if you like, but be sure to deactivate it first.

    That's a very common and classical situation :
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/backup-restore-move-catalog-photoshop.html
    Just make sure that your backup to the external drive is ok : you should find a 'backup.tly' file in the folder.
    Use the PSE11 organizer to restore from the PSE7 backup : the first step restores all your media files, the second automatically does a catalog conversion to the PSE11 format.
    Read the note in the above link about restoring from XP to ulterior Win OS. You can also restore to a 'custom' location. For instance in a 'C:\My new library' folder. Make sure that master folder is accessible to all users, and if you want, you can move the catalog (database) itself from that location to the default location : catalog manager, option to move catalogs to location accessible to all users.

  • What is the best way to migrate zoning from an MDS9216i to a Nexus 5596?

    I am migrating from a MDS9216i to a Nexus 5596.  We have dual paths, so I can migrate one leg at a time and the full function for these switches is fiber channel attached storage.
    What is the best way to migrate the zoning information? I have been told I can ISL the new and old switch together and then push the zoning to the new switch.  Is that better than just cutting and pasting the zoning information to the new switch?
    Also, I have to move four Brocade M4424 switches to the new switches - they are currently attached via interop mode 1, but will now be attached using NPIV.  Has anyone done this before, and did you have any issues?
    Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
