Content transfer to the old drive again using disk utility?

I just bought a new SSD and want to transfer all my HD content in a Mac Mini to it.

The SSD vendor has advised using disk utility for drag-and - drop the old drive to the new, but until now I

wasted summer. I formatted the new drive and resized the partition on the old drive to

It is smaller than the new. When I try to run the utility, it seems to initialize and start the transfer, with

at 2 p.m., provided the time to complete the process. However when I get back later nothing seems

have been carried out.

Anyone have any suggestions?

No drag & drop won't do. Do this instead...

  • I just installed a new drive faster. How can I get windows live mail from the old drive to the new drive

    Where are the files stored WindowsLiveMail?  Under what article directory.  I have "tons" of e-mail messages stored on the old disk and need to move them to the new drive faster.  How can I do?

    The location of the store folder, which contains all the messages, calendars and the account settings, is configurable by the user. The default location is
    C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

    If the installer of WLMail is a record storage in the default location, it normally acknowledge and take into use if. The only user that would be required should reinstate saved passwords. If this is to succeed, the old and new installations of WLMail normally must be exactly the same construction. The storage location must be in place in the default location on the new drive before installing WLMail. Also, the current user must be the owner of the record store to its new location.

    If the old drive is installed on the same computer as the new facility in WLMail, you can point the Import Wizard to import messages to the old folder of the store. They will find under storage folders into imported folders.

    On a laptop Windows 7 HP, it is possible to partition the hard drive by using software like Partition Master, install XP and an earlier version of Office on the new partition? I know I can run Win7 XP mode, but many prefer a base XP environment. Yes, I have new copies unregistered XP and Office 2003.

    Besides Partition Master you can also use Windows 7 "Disk Managment" to shrink the partition of Windows 7, create a new partition of the space "unallocated", and then do a formatting NTFS "Full".

  • Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

    Questions

    1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

    2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

    Background

    Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

    -Start in SafeMode: does not work

    -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

    -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

    Disk utility error messages

    Most often, I get this error:

    The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

    Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

    Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

    Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

    I also received this error message once:

    Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

    Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

    Save the files to external hard drive?

    Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

    When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

    I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

    More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

  • Use disk utility to erase hard drive, erase everything, it

    I just use disk utility to erase the hard drive of Windows base.  It has 6,2 GB of space.  The erase process takes only a few seconds.

  • Recently installed iTunes needed to point to the old library on a disk hard separte and import my old iPhone backups

    I recently reinstalled my OS and iTunes on a new hard drive, my old iTunes program was stored on

    the drive that I removed. My iTunes music library has been memorized and is still located on an external hard drive that is still in

    use. How to point the new installation of iTunes on my music iTunes located on the external hard drive and also import

    My data backup iPhone, applications etc... the former replaced the hard disk that the iTunes program was stored initially on?

    Assuming that you have the entire library, not only the media folder, and then press and hold down the SHIFT key as you launch iTunes. Keep now until asked to choose or create a library. Click on choose and find the iTunes Library.itl file in your iTunes folder.

    As long as your iPhone works you can connect and save it like her now. If you have the old hard drive and try to migrate the older backup sets, these need to be copied in \Users\\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

    See make a library of portable split to the bottom. If your library has been split and you have the old drive so it should be possible to pull the library of him and put it on your outside.

  • Creating image using disk utility

    Hi - I am trying to create an image file of and CD Audo to later burn multiple copies (I own the rights on this CD).

    The process I use is to load the CD in the drive SuperDrive, open disk utility and select the disk in the sidebar (curiously, the drive itself is not there, just the disk). Can I go to file = > new Image == > Audio CD Image. Select a destination, Format: unalterable, encryption: no) and click Save.

    He done much work slowly disk reading and writing of the file (Audio CD.dmg). However, if I try to open the file when it has finished, it said "no mountable file system" and if I burn it to a CD - r disc resulting almost blown my speakers with the sound. To check, I tried with a commercial CD as well - same result.

    I'm doing something wrong here. He doesn't know he used to work in previous versions of the utility.

    System: Mac Pro early 2008 OS X Superdrive Pioneer (original Apple) El Capitan 10.11.5.

    Hello

    There is a little powerful 3rd party app called 'Burn '. Older applications, it's works well in El Capitan as well. If you decide to download and install, you will need to go to preferences > Security and privacy to allow him permission to run for the first time. After that, he will not ask you again. It is simple and easy. Create .iso and burn. Create and burn data/audio CDs and copy CDs as well. There are a few 3rd party applications which are worthy of Mac, and this one is. The name of it, is once again, 'Burn '.

    Bravo!
