migration assistant for only the user folder

I'm helping a student who left a Time Machine backup College but suffered a hard disk failure in his MacBook Pro here. We can't clone or make a backup hard drive TM or run the recovery partition. All we could do was to copy the user on an external hard drive folder.

Apple replace the drive under warranty and installation of system software. When we reboot the machine that is repaired, we will be able to use setup assistant/migration assistant to transfer the folder to the user as it will not be recognized as another backup Mac or MC? Otherwise, what is the best way to get it on the laptop and recognized as a user it?

(She needs to work on its data before returning to the University is not an option to wait until she is back with his backup TM)

As far as I know the Migration can be done with just the folder of the user. What I would say is that you copy the text of the drive backed up by a folder. In other words, open the two folders of Documents and copy the text from the backup folder of Documents to the Documents from the computer folder. This, for everything except the library. Most of what is in the library will be restored as the computer is reconfigured and the applications are put back in place.

  • How to restore the default permissions (for example, the users folder) in windows 7?

    Dear windows users,

    Recently, I messed up the permissions of the files. What happened is that I took my laptop hard drive (win 7 64 bit system) in a USB external hard drive case. Then I get the USB into another windows office 7. I went through the users (perhaps of other files) folder in the hard disk of laptop on the desktop via a USB connection. It is very likely that the Office has changed the permissions of the files.
    I put the hard drive to my laptop, but some applications gives error like access denied messages.
    Is there a safe way to fix them? How to reset the default permissions?
    Thank you.
    BTW, have you worked with permissions of folders? Do you know what happens if permission to c:\users is messed up?

    When permissions in a subfolder in the users folder are confused so the user will not be able to run some programs, to create, modify or delete some files. The folder property affected, followed by assigning appropriate permissions, is usually sufficient to solve the problem.

  • How can I make a folder available only to a user (as the user folder)?

    I moved my library files and downloads folder to another partition. To do this, I did the "Users" folder I created "userA" application folder. I moved all the folders in the library in it. Everything was fine, but after the passage of 'b' user account, I found "UserB" can access all the ' wear "s newly made of the folders in the library.

    Is there a way to "wear out" folder invites a password entry window when "userB" or other users on the same computer try to access it, just like the original user folder in the original partition doesn't? (If "UserB" tries to access "userA" s original user folder in the C drive, it displays a password entry window asked to type ' wear "s login password.)

    Thank you!

    You can change your authorization file to allow only the folder owner read the files.  If your door-inherited certain permissions from its parent, you can open the advanced permissions dialog box to remove the legacy. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-are-permissions#1TC=windows-7 for more details.

    Note there is no defense against the directors. For example at the password prompt, if the user enters an identifier of the administrator, the authorization of your file could be modified to allow access.  Administrators have full control over the system.

  • Prevent automatic Expansion of the users folder

    It is a loss of a lot of time for me.  When opening explores, it automatically expands the users folder that I can navigate and collapse to get to where I really want to go.  How can I disable this annoying behavior?

    Go to start / computer and you will have a view that is not developed (at least mine isn't) - it shows C:\ and does not yet show the subfolders as users.  Or if you want just your own profile information, click on and it will give you just the files and folders in your profile (not developed).

    I hope this helps.

  • Only the user is a Standard user, how do I get an admin account?

    Hello

    Windows 7 Pro

    When I set up this new computer, I created the main account as a standard user. Bad move. Now when I try to make changes, I invited him UAC with an inactive "Yes" button. It is said to enter an administrator password - it is not one that I know. I'm not able to use the cmd as administrator either. I have to reinstall Windows to fix this? I tried several suggestions that I found on the web (safe mode, etc.) and nothing gets done by the UAC.

    Thank you!

    OT:

    Only the user is a Standard user,

    Sorry, I have reflected on something else when I wrote 'choice 4 '.

    First, note the comment at the top of the page I linked to:

    Theoretically if you do not have an administrator account, the built-in Administrator account should be available in safe mode (see also related articles). For any identified reason, the built-in Administrator sometimes to be unavailable in safe mode.

    So, the first thing to do is to reboot safe mode and see if the built-in Administrator account is here.  I will not delete my Admin accounts to test this situation.

    Assuming that the built-in Administrator account is NOT available in Mode safe...

    The link I gave you, the two method I (32-bit only) and method II require you to "open a command prompt at startup" and give a link for directions to do so.  If you go to this link, there is a 'Option One' which uses the installation of Win 7 disc and a 'Option 2' that tells you to use the menu of Boot Options to boot into "Safe Mode with command prompt."

    However, Safe Mode with command prompt not automatically you will get an account with computer administrator privileges, and I suspect that you will not be able to make registry changes suggested that way, despite the generally good reputation of sevenforums.com.   So, use the Windows 7 installation DVD to display the "System Recovery Options" and then select "Command Prompt" there.

    Assuming that you do not receive the built-in administrator enabled account, log in, create a new account and give administrator privileges.  If you intend to use this account for anything other answering the UAC guests, create a second administrator account, "just in case."

    Finally, open an elevated command prompt (right click > run as administrator) and use the following command to disable the built-in Administrator account:

    NET user administrator / active: No.

  • My C drive is nearly full, can I send the 'Users' folder to 'C' on another disk "D"?

    I am usiinf Windows 7 Professional, my 'C' drive is an SSD with 'only' 56 Gig. My hard drive "D" is a one terabyte with more than 900 GB of space left on it.

    My file 'Users' is 13 Gig.

    DAVID BROOKER

    I don't think you can move the Users folder, but you can disable Hibernate and move your pagefile to free space, and you can move your Documents, music, pictures and videos folders.  You can uninstall some programs, and then reinstall them using the custom option and put them on the D: drive too.

    Good luck.

  • EventHandler process post for all the user records in the system target

    Hi Experts,

    My environment: IOM - 11.1.1.5, Sun Directory Server - 5.2
    I did after,

    1. implement the recon trust with Sun's LDAP
    2. I was able to read the sun ldap users to the IOM
    3. I wrote the post event handler process for updating the user password. It works fine if the connector gets only a new user
    4. size of the batch = 0, in iPlanet Planner recon trusted user.

    My Question:

    In my target system, I have 100 users, for recon trust I need calling the game/Manager events vertical process of post for all 100 records and update process. Now, it runs only for the last record not for all records.

    My event handler is,

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF - 8"? >
    < eventhandlers xmlns = "http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/platform/kernel" xmlns: xsi = "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi: schemaLocation = "http://www.oracle.com/schema/oim/platform/kernel orchestration - handlers.xsd" >

    < / eventhandlers >

    I do with sync = TRUE-> FALSE?

    Please give your suggestions.

    Thank you

    The event handler will trigger in the BulkExecute. In this code, you must loop through all entries and not just the last.

    You do this in your code?

    Why so slow and fat out put for only the clip size small 1 sec?

    Hello

    I just apply simple ray tracing 3d in AE and then try to make it by media encoder

    Meia encoder says 4 hours so he could make

    my clip was 15 sec not hd (I do not change all of the settings in media encoder to make)

    then I cut it to 1 sec encoder media took 20 minutes to make

    out put

    4.12 MB

    .avi file

    1 sec

    Why what is happening

    This only happens when I apply ray trace 3d not for others

    Thank you

    As they say - "a picture is worth a thousand words" thus:

    This is a screenshot of the small video clip (full HD) with curvature layer with RayTracing (see render estimated times):

    And the same video clip with 3D classic (without RayTracing) and effect of Warp Mesh (rendering was so fast that he even showed no estimated time - but you can see the final rendering time):

    So you almost 1, 5 h with RayTracing vs 11 dry without.

  • If I unplug the power adapter for my MacBook for 5 minutes during the migration assistant will continue the migration or the battery has been disabled in utility mode?

    I used the migration assistant to transfer my documents and applications of a backup time machine to my MacBook. I know that I need my wired adapter so that the whole process to complete due to the time it takes for the migration. If I unplug my adapter for 5 minutes the macbook will lose power because of the battery off in utility mode or power will be uninterrupted?

    Im not sure he could stop it, but to be sure I would just leave it alone, because if it is interrupted it could damage the macbook and time machine backup

  • You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?

    Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.

    I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.

    What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.

    Any advice would be really appreciated.

    Thank you

    Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other.  If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk.  Thia may be useful:

  • Why is the user folder so big?

    When I check the size of my file user (only one on this computer), Get Info indicates that it contains 147 concerts.  When I read the information on each of the 11 folders inside my user folder, they add only up to 75 concerts.  Why is there a difference of 72 concert between the file and the amount of its content?

  • 2015 Macbook: keyboard product strikes without touching (for only the T key)

    I have a Macbook or 2015 in perfect condition, original owner, never damaged, still under warranty. A few months ago, I noticed that the T key would occasionally insist on its own. With nothing, contacting the keyboard, keys T would have picked up.

    There has been sporadic for a few months, then a few weeks ago, it became much more common. I only use the computer because I disabled the T key using the carabiner and remapped Cmd + 5 so that it sends that t. typing is not easy, so maybe you can forgive me if my message is short?

    Has anyone experience this problem or have any recommendations? Thank you!

    Could be something as simple as small pieces of debris that may have gotten

    trapped under the key - and once there, could interfere with spring

    parts below. You could read through another debate where I made

    post links to some sources on how to clean the keyboard without taking

    Apartment. With... canned air that one is an Apple support article.

    There are also other links to the iFixit site where the keys of the keyboard are

    shows removed and the section of spring is as well. There were two answers

    to the original question of the user because the first expired while I did some research.

    Re: Enter issues -problems of keyboard macbook 12 inch retina

    Re: Enter key 2 issues -key-face and spring cleaning info button

    Details to some extent are covered, and there is also a link to consider a

    Appointment of genius Apple Store, if you want them to look over

    and they may be able to clean it up during your reserved time; or, if

    no official retail Apple Store is available, maybe (if you do not want to)

    an Apple authorized service provider may; a genius would be free of charge

    to watch over and examine it. Under AppleCare, likely repairs are covered.

  • Move the Users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64

    I want to move my full users folder to another drive or partition under Vista 64-bit.

    I found these instructions to do with Windows 7 and confirm that they work very well on a Windows 7 computer I set up yesterday.
    ROBOCOPY, RMDIR, MKLINK programs all exist in Vista and have all the command line switches such as specified in section of Windows 7.
    I want to use junction points as described in the article, rather than messing around with search-and-replace in registry. The use of junction points is cleaner and easier to reverse if I ever need to move the Users back folder to its original location.
    These same instructions for Windows 7 works with Vista 64 bit to move my users folder to a different hard disk or partition?

    Well, I couldn't wait any longer for a response.

    So I gave him a test and Windows 7 instructions work perfectly with Vista 64 - bit word. Hope it will be useful to someone else.
