  • What is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac?

    what is the best way to transfer my date from my old iMac to my new iMac? I don't have a time capsule, so I cannot use time machine.
    thanks

    Your best bet by far is to use Setup Assistant when the new Mac first starts up to transfer directly from the old one. 
    It's similar to Migration Assistant, but doing it that way will avoid having an extra user account.
    Either way, you can connect them via FireWire, Thunderbolt, or your network, but avoid wireless if at all possible.  You can connect both to your netwrork via Ethernet, or put a single cable between the two. 
    See Using Setup Assistant on Mountain Lion or Lion for details.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • HT3819 Is it OK for me to use home sharing just as a way of getting my music from my old laptop to my new one before I go off to uni?

    I literally just need to move all my music and TV shows that are on the itunes on my old laptop onto my new one before I go to uni next week, is this the quickest way? Or will homesharing get really confusing as my little brother is then nabbing my old laptop for himself and will be doing his ipod on there for him?

    It is not the fastest way, but you can do this.
    Just copy from one machine to the other.
    Type " move itunes library" into the google search bar.

  • What the best way to create XML files from JAVA application?

    Hi to all,
    I need to edit and to create new filex in format of xml. I know to parse, but what would be the best way to do:
    1. - Create new file, create like simle text file, or there is some clases that know to do it in more simple way
    2.a - Edit XML file, to take some data and add it to the XML in the place I want to.
    2.b - Also Edit, but not to add fields, just update some of them.
    Code examples or links to samples woul be welcomed.
    Best regards, Nick.

    I have tried working with XML directly using the Java classes but this was a pain. I then looked at DOM4J and JDOM and found JDOM easier to use.

  • What is the easiest way to transfer photos in PSE V7 (old PC) to PSEV9 (new PC)?

    I have 1 catalogue, about 9 GB using XP in the old PC) & Win7 (new PC).  I mainly want to keep stacks in place (I do not use tags).  My largest USB is 4 GB so copy/move cannot be used and am uncertain about moving (vs copying) in case something goes wrong. As explained in the documentation,  I looked at Backup and Restore and the message said the pictures had been moved.  I would prefer to do the tranfer in segments.
    Thank you
    George

    Connect your two computers together, either across a network or with a cable (or a wireless connection).
    Or,
    Remove the hard drive from your old computer and purchase a USB connection kit so you can attach the hard drive as an external drive to your new computer.
    If you also copy the actual photos to same named paths\directories on your new computer, Organizer should be able to "reconnect" to the photos relatively painlessly, although it might take a long time for a 9 GB catalog's worth of photos....

  • What is the best way to move Lightroom 3 from my old ssd to my new ssd?

    I recently installed a new and larger ssd on my computer.  When I attempted to clone my old ssd, it corrupted my old windows 7 on the original ssd and left me with a blue screen version on my new ssd.  So after reformatting the new ssd and completing a clean install of windows 8 I am ready to move my lightroom 3 over.  I want to do this without losing all my work on my photos and I am not enthused with cloning my old ssd as it did not work and left me with days of frustration.  Please help with the best way to accomplish this.
    Thanks,
    Dan Rafferty

    Install Lr 3 to your new SSD using the original cd.
    You can also downlad version 3.6 from here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    Then copy your catalog, previews, and images over from the old disk, and make sure everything goes to the same location as on the old disk.

  • What does an Apple Retail Store charge to migrate files from an old laptop to a new one?

    I'm about to buy a new MacBook Pro. What does the Apple Retail Store charge to migrate my files from the old laptop to the new one?

    If the old laptop is a Mac, the Apple store will sell you a Firewire cable that will allow you to transfer the data from the old one to the new.

  • Does anyone know whats the easiest way to tranfer files from pc to mac

    Does anyone know whats the easiest way to tranfer files from pc to mac

    What kind of files, how many files, total amount of file space? There are many ways to move files from platform to platform, but until you tell us what the nature of the task is we can't give you a proper solution.

  • What is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipad?

    what is the easiest way to copy individual photos from a pc to ipadair 2?  I have been told that transferring via itunes creates one mass file from which individual photos cannot be manipulated.

    Photos synced from iTunes cannot be deleted one at a time if that's what you mean. They can be manipulated, if manipulated means editing or moving them into folders that you create on the iPad in the photos app.
    I agree with Procyon256 that emailing is probably the easiest way for one at a time, but there are also WiFi transfer apps that are pretty nice for this purpose, I use this one.

  • What's the best way to move files from my old G3 to my new Intel DuoCore?

    I just received my new Intel DuoCore 17" iMac. For years I have been using a much-loved G3 500 mHz iMac. The new Intel iMac is still in the box, but I believe it shipped with OS 10.4.4. The G3 runs 10.2.6. I have a dial-up connection to the Internet; currently DSL is not available in my neighborhood. What is the best way to move my files from the G3 to the Intel dc? Can I simply connect them with an Ethernet cable and transfer files directly? Or is my best bet to simply save the files I want to transfer to a disc and do it the old-fashioned way? Please forgive me in advance for my ignorance; although I have been a Mac user and supporter for many years, I am astonishingly ignorant when it comes to the best way to using both Mac hardward and software.
    iMac Intel DuoCore   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    There are two issues - 1. Getting the files moved over, and 2. Being able to open them on the Intel iMac.
    1. This can be technically easy if you are willing to spend the time. I moved all my stuff from my old Mac to my new one by hooking the two together with an ethernet cable, directly. You would need both machines to have appropriate IP addresses. (go to the network preferences and pull down the built-in ethernet panel.) Some addresses such as 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101 would work with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0) Now go to the new iMac and make sure the finder is selected (click on the desktop) and under the "GO" menu select "Connect to Server". You will need to put in the IP address of the old machine, and later it's administrative password. Then select its hard drive from the list (possibly only one choice) and it should appear as an icon on your iMac desktop. You can open this like any other drive and just drag items to the new iMac.
    2. Whether you can use all the files moved over from the old G3 is difficult to answer. You may be using Classic mode sometimes on the G3 and have some stuff created with a Classic application. You are probably aware that the new Intel iMac does not support Classic mode, so some of these files may not be useable without a bit of work (or at all, perhaps.) For instance I had to purchase Appleworks to handle some of my old Clarisworks documents because Pages couldn't understand them. Once I had them converted to Appleworks documents, I could then convert them again to Pages documents.
    I had some old MacDraw Pro documents that were equally problematic.
    I would advise you to get the new iMac out of the box and connected to your dialup internet connection first. Do all the software updates until running software updater says there is nothing new. Then you will be at 10.4.7 with all the latest security and fixes etc. Then disconnect from the internet and use an ethernet cable to get the stuff off the old computer.
    There will be lots more to do such as moving your mail, address box entries etc. later, but this is a start.

  • What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?

    What is the best way for my wife to sync her Outlook contacts to her new iPad Air?  I don't know very much about Microsoft (almost nothing).  Does she need to plug into one of the USB ports on her Microsoft computer (about 5 years old)?  I also have an iMac (that I use for syncing but she needs her contacts from Outlook.  She doesn't really want all of them...there are 1,000's of teachers that work in her district and she does no tent to add 1,000's of contacts.

    If she only has a few she can e-mail those contacts to herself, open that mail on her iPad and save them from there.
