migrate time machine again Mac... then re time machine without duplicating the entire hard disk?

Hello

It should work, but it is not for me!

My MacBook Pro retina is 3 years old. Running the most recent El Capitan.  I time the Machine every day, and everything's fine.

You just bought a new MacBook Pro to replace my old.  All the information has migrated to the new machine through Migration.

Everything worked successfully, and my 'new' machine is a 'mirror' of my old.  (Finally, especially!)

But now... after a few hours I want to re-time Machine my new Mac to the same backup drive Time Machine I just migrated to.  I use about 200 GB on my Mac, and he wants to take about 2 hours and re back up everything!  But I've only added a few emails in the last 2 hours. My question - WHY Time Machine wants to fundamentally rewrite all or most of my data again?  It's all there and nothing is changed?  My current user administrator name is the same on both.

Hmmm... I saw somewhere my old mac was named Larry (2) Mac and I see it now has named Mac Larry (3).

I did that, I guess El Capitan did.  Would be - which is why he wants to rewrite all the data?

Thank you very much - I think I'm not the only one out there who has this from happening?

Hello, Larry Cohen,.

I understand the desire to have a time Machine just continue to use the existing backup with the new computer. It takes time to backup everything, and unless you erase the disc, first you'd have muliple backups on it.

This article gives the instances when you can have the new Mac inherit the backup.

  • How can I keep an iPhoto library, update on two Macs without copying the entire library every time?

    Sorry if this has been asked several times before, I looked but could not find an answer to my specific questions...

    Currently, I keep my iPhoto on two different Macs library by periodically copy the package to the main computer entire iPhoto library to an external hard drive, then loading into iPhoto on the second machine.

    The problem is that it takes a lot of time and I find myself doing less, which means that I am often without recent photos I want to join the second Mac. Is there a way to copy only the new pictures/videos added since the last copy was made on the hard drive, which I can then add to the library on the second machine without replacing the entire library?

    I was wondering if it was possible to use the software of incremental backup to backup on the external drive that I could then use to update the second mac. In this case would be that I have to replace the entire library on the second mac every time, but at least it would be a faster process that also copy entire library since the first mac in the first place.

    Or I can just select the most recent photos and videos in iPhoto and batch export via the external hard drive to the second mac? I think I read that this is not copy all information such as good changes? Or am I wrong?

    If none of this is possible in the way that I'm demanding, could someone suggest an alternative photo storage software for Mac that I can have more control on?

    Yes, you can use an incremental backup or clone (like Carbon Copy clone or SuperDuper) program for updating the second library - this will not libraries merge in order to not do that is you make changes to the second library on this machine - it only makes library 2 exactly as 1 library each time that you run

    What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

    RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
    Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
    no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
    companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
    because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
    more seamlessly.

    Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
    what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
    original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
    your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
    attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
    also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

  • How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

    How come back initially on an editing session without closing the entire program and start again?

    Hello

    There are two answers to this. If you have not saved the image since the opening, you can restore the file Menu-Revert or F12 and that will bring back you at the beginning. A more elegant solution is the historical Panel.

    Photoshop has a history panel (Windows Menu-history) that keeps track of everything you do on an image and allows you to go back in the flow of work and in effect then go ahead if you change your mind. The original image is always registered as a snapshot and then subsequent action recording. So you can come back not only the original image, but any previous change after opening. You can even take your own snapshots which is a useful feature.

    Hope that helps

  • I'm rebuilding my machine because of an imminent hard disk crash, I will be able to reactivate my copy of windows 7 on new generation?

    Well, I recently built a machine using Windows XP, upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate with a disc of the full version and a key.  The HARD drive is going after only two years.  BIOS AND Windows give me warnings, and I'm a moderator paid for a Web site.  My work depends on the stability of the machine; He needs a reconstruction and a new HARD drive.  I have everything already backed up.

    My question is, since I already activated my copy of windows, is there a way to activate it again on the next generation?  Installation is always on a machine, I just need to be able to reactivate it.  I don't have a lot of time.  A quick response would be greatly appreciated.

    If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows Vista or Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows 7 Upgrade disk.

    How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Select the disc/s click on Delete

    Click new

    Click on apply

    Click OK

    Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

    It looks like you copied a symbol from one image to another, then
    "gone in ' and edited this symbol... what you need to do is create a copy
    the symbol and change this one instead... IOW...

    step 1:
    'symbol1_mc' in the library is duplicated to create 'symbol2_mc '...

    Step 2:
    you copy your picture 1 on frame 2 of the timeline just as you did

    Step 3:
    Use the properties panel to switch on stage (and the second image)
    "symbol1_mc" with "symbol2_mc"... so that you now have 'symbol1_mc '.
    frame 1 and 'symbol2_mc' on frame 2

    Step 4:
    then edit "symbol2_mc".

  • What is the 'best' way to copy a useful project again, so it can be changed without affecting the original?

    I'm pretty much a newbie to LavVIEW.

    I use LabVIEW complete edition on Windows 7 2012.  I copied a project using Save As duplicate in the Project Explorer.  He created an excessively long and complex directory structure.  He made "too long" (probably from the path being too long).

    The intention was to obtain a copy of the project can be used to freely modify it without damaging the original.

    I searched the Forum and knowledge base, do not see anything definitive.  I guess that information is already posted, but just, I have not been able to find.  A point in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mark

    Copy the directory of the whole project to a new location

    Delete the files .lvlps, .lvprog and the new .aliases copy

    Start LabView and create a new empty project

    In the project manager, add a new auto fill directory select the new copy of the project directory

    Save the new project in the new project directory

    Only caveat is that this does not all dependencies in your user.lib or inst.lib for the first time, you open a vi that you might find some of the dependencies that are not in the default locations.

  • How to re - install programs CS6 Master Collection keys on the first machine without losing the right to activate on a second machine? [was: question]

    I trashed by mistake some key of my collection of master CS6 programes.

    What should I do to reinstall them, without losing the right to install it on a second machine?  see you soon

    You should probably disable, uninstall, clean and then reinstall.

    To disable open one of the programs which remains and choose Help-> Deactivate.

    Then uninstall all you can of what remains as you would normally uninstall programs (it is not normal to screw up or remove).

    You can find the cleaning tool through the following...

  • Migrated virtual machine appears in the two data stores

    Hi all

    A bit of background on our installation first. servers ESX 3.5 vcenter 4.0 (just improved 2.5) + 2 + 2 data warehouses configured in 1 box of MSA.

    Here is what happened. I've migrated a VM from A to B data store using "Migrate" in vSphere client on vCenter.

    On the vSphere client, virtual machine displays now two data warehouses. In the browser data store, the vme even appears in the two data stores. Datastore shows 20 GB to 20 GB provisioned and 0 GB to 20 GB used. B displays 20 of 20 put into service and used 20 20 GB.

    Migration seems to have succeeded. I migrated about 10 other vm and they reside only on a data store. All virtual machines are working properly. I tried to migrate the computer back to A virtual. He showed only a data store. But the problem appeared again when I migrated the vm to B. I tried to move the virtual machine back and forth between servers ESX, no difference.

    Any ideas? The virtual machine is working well, and it is not necessarily a critical problem. But it's annoying, because I intend to reorganize the data store has and the fear it could cause a problem.

    Thank you so much in advance!

    anything mounted on the CD/DVD drive, as an ISO which can be on A Datastore?

  • Is it possible under the EULA to have several virtual machines on a single physical hard disk while using the same OS license or do I need a separate license for each virtual computer?

    I have several programs that are not compatible with my 64 bit Windows 7 operating system.  I would like to run each different software under another virtual machine of VMWare (5 packs of different software programs and 5 different virtual machines of Windows XP).  These would all be installed on your laptop.  I can use the same license of Windows XP for each virtual machine, or do I need a separate XP license for each (different XP in case 5 licenses)?

    It is lifted directly from my EULA:

    1. GRANT OF LICENSE.
    The manufacturer that you grant the following rights, provided that
    comply you with all terms and conditions of this EULA:
    1.1 installation and use.  You may install, use, access,
    display and run one copy of the SOFTWARE on
    THE COMPUTER.  The SOFTWARE may not be used
    by more than two 2-processor both on the
    COMPUTER, unless a greater number is
    indicated on the certificate of authenticity.
    Then...
    This means that as long as you are running two or more instances of XP at the same TIME, you agree? Or does this mean that, after you install once, you have reached your limit?
    I imagine that most people (including those who are running Microsoft!) will say that the second interpretation is correct.
    However...
    If this is the case, anyone their hard drive as a backup to clone strategy would violate the EULA!
  • How can I move booksmark to another machine without replacing the bookmarks on the new machine, IE combine a number of bookmarks files

    I'll put up a laptop and you want to have all the bookmarks from my desktop machine to be moved there from different accounts, but in the end upward in a single file so that I don't have to have loads of separate accounts.

    You must export the Favorites to an HTML file and then import this file. For more details on this see bookmarks Firefox export to a HTML for backup or transfer Favorites and bookmarks to an HTML file import.

    If this is likely to create duplicate bookmarks, you can check for them and delete them using the add-on CheckPlaces .

    If you want to keep the bookmarks in the laptop and desktop in sync, you can use the add-on Firefox Sync . Firefox Sync will be integrated with Firefox 4.

  • Migration of PPC-based Mac to all new MBP running El Capitan

    Can use Setup Assistant to migrate files from a Mac to Leopard PPC processor to a whole new MacBook Pro running non-retine El Capitan cause problems? The support article 'Move your content to a new Mac' (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350) said the old Mac should run 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or later, but that has not been my experience on November 24, 2015.

    When my new MBP came directly from the China (I paid the extra $15 for express delivery) and I was starting for the first time, I plugged on my old based on the PPC PowerBook G4 10.5.8 Leopard and when I got to the screen "you want to transfer your data", I chose "transfer from a Mac", hit continue and expected to see an error screen.  Surprise, surpise, transfer stepped forward, and all my accounts and passwords have been transferred to the MBP.  I used a Firewire 400 to 800 cable to connect two computers and started the G4 in target Mode.  The only 'problem' I have noticed (if that's the right word) is that my new MBP is found with the same name as my old G4.  I expected to wonder on behalf of MBP somewhere along the line, the installation procedure.

    Then I came across two problems related to the system with the MBP, but I don't know if they were related to the transfer or were part of a problem with the original, factory system or the 10.11.1 updated, which I fell right after the end MBP of the initialization of the first time.  The first problem was the MBP would not print at one of my printers Epson (Stylus CX7400 and Stylus Photo R280), even after downloading what it determined were the correct drivers. I would get an error message "failure of the filter.  The second problem was that the MBP would not cCREATE a bootable of El Capitan Installer using the Terminal and the command SUDO appropriate.  Both these problems disappeared after I reinstalled completely El Cap 10.11.1, but I still want to know if transfer in my info to the G4 PPC-based using Setup Assistant might have caused or contributed to them.

    Very likely that the system software and some of the apps would not be compatible with a mac intel. Music and photos would be. And also movies. But all third party apps will need to be updated to work. If you have used assistant migration there is a screen where you can choose what are the files to be transferred. Ether transfer you the contents of the entire hard disk or your entire home folder. That's how you're done with the same user name. Relocation of El Capitan straightened some of them. You should always go through and remove some things.

    can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

    You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

    migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

    Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

    Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

    The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).
