What is the fastest way to transfer data from old macbook pro to new macbook pro using the migration assistant

I'm trying to transfer my data (applications, files, etc.) From my older macbook pro to my new macbook pro. I've started the migration wizard and the process aHa its going to take 16 hours. Is there a faster way? Fireside? If so what cables would I need and is it ok to stop this since its already startwd.

Ethernet or Firewire:

Sounds like you're using WiFi...that will take forever & can produce errors.

Best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one?

I just got a new Macbook Pro from Apple...YEEEEAAAHHHH!
So....
What's the best way to transfer files from old Macbook Pro to new one? I know Migration assistant, but is there a recommended way? I don't want to put do a system restore or transfer everything from the old laptop, but I do want to move important things like photos, music, documents and such over. Any suggestions on best way to do this?
Another question, perhaps subquestion. If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?
Just looking for hints from the experts so this puppy is set up in the best way possible.

Just one comment on this:
‘If I have, say, an older version of iPhoto but a newer version of one on my new Macbook Pro, will it still transfer photos no problem?’
the problems are ALWAYS in the reverse way, when you have the newest (or a newer) version of a given app, and wish to transfer its library to an older version.
Otherwise, see the link to Pondini.
I have been using Martin Jahn’s iBackup, with which I have become accustomed and works fine. It also makes daily backups. Its advantage over other apps is that you may add whatever you wish to save, beside its default settings (which you may delete or cancel, of course, even if not recommended); it also has a friendly interface and easily customizable. Of course, this is a personal view, you may try other methods as well, or other backup apps. All are good if you are satisfied and correspond to your needs.

Different ways to Transfer data from one database to another database

Hi all,
What are the ways to transfer data from one database to another database. With the following options, i Can transfer data as far as i know. Please
correct me if i am wrong or tell me if there is any other options are available.
1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.
2) By using Export and Import utilities.
I told first one to my interviewer, he told, its strange, by using, COPY command also can we transfer data ? As far as i know, we can transfer data. Am i right ?
Thanks in advance,
Pal

transfer data from one database to another database.You mean store the data of one to another?
1) Create database link/connection string and using this string and COPY command, we can transfer data.every SELECT on a DB-link is transfering data. And you can have all kind of transfers and store on the e.g CTAS of materialized views or.... the SQL*PLUS COPY :
The COPY command is not being enhanced to handle datatypes or features introduced with, or after Oracle8i. The COPY command is likely to be made obsolete in a future release.
But there are many others. Check for ORACLE Streams, and the "COPY" your interviewer was mentioning is about the operating file system COPY right? That's transportable tablespaces.

Don't try transferring Adobe software. It rarely works and usually breaks the activation mechanism (150:30 error).
Uninstall, run the Cleaner tool then re-install from scratch.

Can you transfer data from one numbers spreadsheet to another using conditional formatting?

I have a tracker document set up for client payments and when I indicate payment received, it flags green using conditional formatting. However I would like these to automatically transfer to another sheet - without having to cut and paste the associated data to the other sheet. Can I set up conditional formatting to do this? If not how could I get and automatic transfer?
thanks forum.

Hi Kangers,
There are a number of ways to transfer data from one table to the next. It should not be hard to set up.
Conditional formatting would not be involved it moving the data but you could set it up to flag the data in the new table.
Without knowing what your tables and data look like it is hard to propose a solution.

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.

Jose

How do I transfer data from one exterior harddrive to another?

How do I transfer data from one exterior harddrive to another when they are both connected to our Imac Desktop?

Depends what you want to transfer...
A few more Details about what you are trying to achieve would be good.

I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems? If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

Need to transfer data from one external hd to another hd

Hi, I need to transfer movies from one external hd to another external hd - destination hd is formatted currently as NTSC, source hd is formatted currently as Mac OSx extended (journalled).
I believe I need to transfer data across to different hd before I can reformat source hd to MSDOS - fat. Then after reformatting source hd I want to transfer data back from destination hd to source hd, to allow this to be viewed on TV & PC...
I have tried copying & dragging from one to another, doesn't work (on desktop, or in Finder).
Any help welcome, thank you.

When you reformat a drive it erases all data. You'll need to buy a second external drive.
Note: you can reformat a single partition on a drive. More info
I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. Works on USB 2.0 ports. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.
I don't recommend Western Digital because of the boot problem with some of their drives. LaCie makes good drives. All Mac formatted drives will cost more and it’s easy to reformat with Disk Utility. Do not use the software that comes with the drives. It’s recommended that you use Apple’s Disk Utility.
Prices vary but this gives you an idea of what you’ll find. As you notice the second and third TB is usually only $15 more per TB. It's not uncommon to find a 1T is more than the 2T
Current Amazon pricing:
Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 $154.85 (used to be around $85.00)
Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB USB 3.0 $114.95 (used to be around $99.00
Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0 $129.90 (used to be around $115.00)
Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
Occassionally you'll find the 3T for $99 on sale.

Using FDM to transfer data from one HFM app to another

We are facing a project in which we need to load data from one HFM app to another. There're some mapping going so it was advised that FDM be used.
However, the HFM extract files contain all data on the rows. While for the FDM multiload, the data from different periods need to be layed out on the columns. Also, we have multiple scenarios/years of data to handle. What would be the best approach? Has anyone had similar experience to load data from one HFM app to another using FDM? Thanks!

It appears that this is some kind of migration project due to the scope of the data contained in the single file? If so whatever you do is like ly to be trow away once the migration of data is completed.
You have a couple of options:
1) Get the data extracted from HFM in multiple files instead of one bulk file, broken down by scanario,year & period
2) Take the single data dump file produced by FDM and manipulate it yourself to get the data in a more usuable format for processing through FDM.
Option 2 could be achieved via any ETL tool or a custom file parsing script. What may be more attractive to you and allow you to fully leverage your investment in FDM is that you could use the PULL adapter that ships as part of the FDM adapter suite to perform this transformation exercise. The PULL adapter takes a flat file input and allows you to use all the in built functionality of FDM to transform it and output a modified flat file (or series of flat files). You could use it to produce multioload files or a series of files broken down by scenario,year,period.
Whatever you do I would suggest that break the single data file down into smaller chunks as this will help with the iterative debugging process you will inevitably have to undetake whislt migrating the data to the new application.

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,
Gerald He

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.
Best regard,
Gerald

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.

HOW TO TRANSFER DATA FROM ONE INTERNAL TABLE TO ANOTHER

FOR PERTICULAR OBJECT ID ONE INT TABLE JTAB CONTAINS ONE RECORD(ROW) AND ANOTHER INT TABLE KTAB CONTAINS 3 RECORDS(ROWS). THEN HOW I SHOULD TRANSFER DATA FROM KTAB TO JTAB? WHAT R THE VARIOUS WAYS TO DO THAT. PLS HELP ME OUT. THANKS IN ADVANCE

Try something like
If you want one record per ktab :
LOOP AT jtab.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING jtab TO itab.
LOOP AT ktab WHERE id = jtab-id.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING ktab TO itab.
    APPEND itab.
ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
or
LOOP AT ktab.
READ TABLE jtab WITH KEY id = ktab-id. " binary implicit if sorted type
MOVE-CORRESPONDING jtab TO itab.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING ktab TO itab.
APPEND itab.
ENDLOOP.
If you want to sum ktab ratio into itab for each jtab
LOOP AT jtab.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING jtab TO itab.
LOOP AT ktab WHERE id = jtab-id.
    ADD-CORRESPONDING ktab TO itab.
    APPEND itab.
ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
Use sorted type table when LOOP AT WHERE, else SORT table is enough.
