What needed to save in move from 8.6 to 9.2.2 and new HD?
I'm installing a new 40G HD in my 266 iMac with OS 8.6. I was going to burn the files and applications I want to keep to a disc, then move them over after I install 9.2.2 on the new drive.
Most of the applications and data files I use are on my desktop. Do I simply copy those, or are there related files in the System folder that I need to bring over as well? I know most applications will create new Preferences, but where would I find things like drivers for my printer, scanner and Zip drive?
Also, I know I need to put whatever OS I need on the first, <8G partition if I partition my HD, but is partitioning necessary? Once I have 9.2.2 up and running, can I install 10.3.x without any partitioning or other HD prep? Thanks.
wacoguy, data files are fine but whether you can copy applications depends entirely on the individual application, so you might like to list yours.
Many apps don't and some do install auxilliary files in the System Folder, and won't run without them. Of those many do and some don't give the auxilliary files names that make them easy for a User to identify and copy.
That aside, many apps that run in Mac OS 8 will be perfectly happy in OS 9; some need updating and a few will just give up. the same is true for the drivers and perhaps auxilliary utilities for your prniter and scanner, though I think a Zip drive should work natively with OS 9.
For all these reasons, even if the new drive was destined to have the same OS version the normal thing would be either to install everything afresh, or to copy everything from the old drive and then run updaters.
Copying everything from an old drive isn't recommended by Apple and frankly, if a problem arises, so what? You have a new drive with copies and can either wipe it all out and start afresh anyway, or just revert back to the old drive with the original files - either way, you lose only a bit of time…
Some people don't like partitions and personally I love them, particularly on machines that have only one real physical disk.
If you partition your disk you just get flexibility, with no apparent downside. You can use one partition as a back-up, use one to experiment with exactly this kind of major reconfiguration you're facing now, reconfigure one for particular projects and what have you…
If I was in your shoes I'd love to have partitions - then I could leave a factory-fresh System Folder on one and safely copy it to another, then play mix-and-match with the copy and my old files.
Each time I made safe progress adding one application or installing the printer, scanner or what-have-you, I'd copy the latest version to third partition so each time a change went wrong, I could wipe out any- or everything on the suspect partitioin and copy back the latest back-up… but some people don't like partitions.

Need to transfer home movies from iPhone to external hard drive.
Need to transfer home movies from iPhone to external hard drive. The movies were created with Flip Video, not iPhone. I can see and watch them via iTunes but have not figured out how to move them from iPhone to hard drive. iPhone is broken (screen) and locked, but is still connecting to iTunes. I have backed up all photos/videos created with the iPhone, just need to figure out how to get these last videos off the phone. They are very important. I am working off a Windows XP machine. No, the camera wizard will not work for this as these videos are not stored in that area of the phone.
Thanks,
EThis is what I have done so far and stuck again.
I opened Image capture plugged in IPhone. Device brought up camera roll pics only.
I was able to send them to the external hard drive. Now they have green checks marks. I cannot seem to remove them. Don't want to delete them yet to put into folder for having prints made..
Devices showed IPhone but would only show camera roll I have two other folders and cannot seem to go to them to show up on the device one is Photo library has 300+ pics and
last import folder. I would like to take the 300 also from the Photo library and also copy them or move them to the external hard drive.
What step am i missing , please help.
thank you

I'm try to buy a movie from iTunes with my I pad 3 and it tells me there is not enough local storage and when I go to my local storage there is a lot on free storage I also restarted my ipad but still the same prob what do I do?
5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie. Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with. The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad. You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you
Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue. -
Data movement from R/3 DB to APO DB and to Live cache
Dear APO Experts,
I have few questions on live cache and how it works, I understand that Live cache is memory resident database. below are my questions.
1) What sought of data move from R/3 DB to APO DB and then to Live cache DB
2) When data moves from APO DB to Live cache, till how much duration that data stays in live cache
3) And how does data gets pulled in to live cache from APO DB
4) Why do we require live cache logs while data never gets commited to hard disk
5) Do we ever add a datafile to Live cache DB
any info that you provide on this will be really helpfull to me
Thanks,
ChetanHello Chetan,
As you know, itu2019s MAXDB/liveCache forum.
What is the version of your system?
The is documentation available at:
SAP liveCache technology
< Please review document u201CWhat is SAP liveCache technology?u201D >
Sap documents at service.sap.com/scm -> Technology:
u201CliveCache overviewu201D and u201CIntegration overviewu201D
For SAP liveCache documentation also see the SAP note 767598.
Go to SAP link Best Practices for Solution Management: mySAP SCM at SAP liveCache technology ...
And Review the document u201CManage APO Core Interface in SAP APO (3.x) / mySAP SCM (4.x/ 5.0)u201D
1. As you saw in the reference documents the data transferred from the connected R/3 system to APO.
And the transactional data could be uploaded to the liveCache, if you downloaded them
to the APO database cluster tables first. This procedure steps are running during the
system upgrade < for example, from SCM 5.0 to SCM 7.0 ) u2013 report /SAPAPO/OM_LC_UPGRADE_70 steps. Or you want to migrate the
liveCache to another operating system or convert your system to Unicode,
and therefore you want to back up the liveCache data first so that you
can reload it into the liveCache afterwards - SAP Note No. 632357.
2. Could you collaborate more on this sentence. Could you give examples?
3. u201CAnd how does data gets pulled in to live cache from APO DBu201D
The data are not pulled from the APO DB to liveCache.
When you changed the APO data on the system the LCA procedures have been called from ABAP. The objects stored in the class containers in liveCache can be accessed and manipulated only via LCA routines. The registration of the LCA routines is done automatically when the liveCache is started by the LC10. The LCA procedures in the LiveCache are written in C++
and shipped to the customers as binary LCA libraries(LCA build) together with the LiveCache.
< See more details in SAP Note No. 824489 or 1278897 as of SCM 7.0 >
4. See the SAP notes:
869267 FAQ: SAP MaxDB LOG area
1377148 FAQ: SAP MaxDB backup/recovery
5. You could run the quicksizer & estimate how much data you are planning to have in liveCache.
Also the amount of data could be increased by the creation of the new data in APO by users
Or another reason u2026
In general you will add the datavolume to solve or prevent the DB_FULL issue,
See u201C17. What do I do if the data area is full? u201C in SAP note 846890.
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina -
Tried to copy a movie from my iTunes account to my iPhone and keep getting this message……. iTunes could not copy "L.A." to the iPhone "Michael's iPhone" because of a timeout occurred.
I completely understand what is happening. I know that you are connected to the Internet. I made the suggestion because I have seen it work in similar circumstances. The Apple iTunes servers can be a bit fussy about things and sometimes rebooting the router clears up this miscommunication between iTunes and your network.
Have you tried signing into your account and then try to sync again. Go to Store>View Account. You will have to enter your password. Then try to sync again. Or try signing out completely in Store>Sign out. Quit iTunes, sign in again and then try to sync again.
Sometimes refreshing settings will help clear up weird problems. -

Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?
Can rent a movie from the iTunes store on my computer, and then stream it to my apple TV (2nd gen)?
Thank you alleycat. I have two rental movies in my iTunes library in the rentals section top left of the window that have not been played. I have home sharing turned on on both my apple TV and my Mac. Both machines are completely software updated. I can see all of my owned movies in the Computer>Library>Movies section of the menus, but neither the rentals themselves nor a rental fouler are anywhere to be found on the apple TV. I dropped by the apple store on the way home from work and they suggested that it should be working just as you described, and suggested a restore, which I've performed. Still no rentals from the Mac library are visible on the apple TV. Any ideas?

i bought movies from itunes, now i cant find them and have to re-buy those movies again. Pls help
Films can't be redownloaded in all countries, and even where they can be not all studios have agreed to it. Have you checked to see if you they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes, and the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your phone ?
If you can't redownload them you haven't got a copy of them on your backup of your downloads/library ? -

How to save a movie from camcorder to dvd or cd to edit later
I have a sony camcorder HD that uses tape to record to. I want to save the movie to a disk . either dvd or cd to mail to a friend who want to put it on his computer for editing.
HOW??? I cannot seem to copy the raw movie to a dvd or cd and then recopy to my computer..What gives? Am I missing something here? is there a program I can use?Not possible.
An imovie project (DV) is uncompressed and runs at 13GB per hour.
iDVD will compress that project to the standard DVD format of mpeg2, which IS compressed, and is why a DVD can hold up to 120 minutes of video, although this includes menus, titles, transitions etc.
If you want to save, i.e. back-up, an iMovie project you will need an external hard disk. -
How do I save a movie from iMovie 10.0.2 for iDVD
How do i save an movie made with iMovie 10.0.4 such that I can open it in iDVD?
I don't want any of the options to upload, I still have iDVD but can't get it from iMovie 11 (I guess it is?)
to iDVD.
Do I Share to File (whatever that is.)?
Thanks,
HalHi,
See if the old version of iMovie is still in your Applications folder. I re-activated mine. Evidently, in their infinite wisdom Apple decided that they want to force their followers into the Cloud and that DVD operations are yesterday. Frankly, I think it very presumptuous of them to make that decision for us. I intend to lodge an official complaint. -
Need to get a JPG from stream, resize, convert again to JPG and save in DB
Hi:
I have a J2EE Applicaction wich is a migration from a ASP.NET project to Java.
That web application is like a photo album service, where people can upload pictures. I take the pictures inside a bussiness object, containing two some fields, but one for the image is being uploaded and other one for the small representation of that picture, I mean a Thumbail or a resized image.
Everything works excepct one thing, I dont know how to generate the thumbail. I seen lot of information about that, included JAI, but the problem is the next... I need to resize the image, and then, to save it into my bussiness object as a JPG image. I found how to resize the image, but always explanations stop there, and I need to know if exists one esasier way to do that (JAI is simply great, but for my project should to be too much), and how to implement a solution for my problem.
In a few words:
1 I have the JPG picture (as byte[]) inside one property in one of my objects
2 I need to save in the other property a small version of the JPG picture, so I need to resize and preserve JPG format, and be able to get the byte[] of the picture.
If is posible to help my, it could help me so much!!!!
Plaase, excuse me for my horrible english, and greetings from Madrid.Hi, thanks so much!... After of working on it, I got the nest code using JPEGEncode, but when trying to get image I get a expection wich says:

sun.awt.image.codec.JPEGImageDecoderImpl.readJPEGStream(Native Method)
I'll post my code here, coz may be is something I am doing wrong, please if you could help me on it, it could be great. The code is about one servlet:

Need help - creating QT movies from iPhoto slide shows
I am creating QT movies from slideshows in iPhoto. I then put the QT movies on a CD. I am having no trouble doing this, but if I give the CD to a Windows user, will she be able to view it? If not, is there any way to make it Windows compatible? Are there any other problems I should be aware of before I give these QT movies for Christmas gifts?
Any PC user that has QuickTime 5, or higher, installed will be able to view your iPhoto slide show movies on the CD.
You must use the Finder to guarantee a PC compatible CD, however.
