Old iMac to the new iMac?

I have posted before, but I am now ready to move from my 2007 24 ' iMac to a model of 5K of 2015. The old operating system is leopard (10.5.8) and the news is... most recent .the (Sierra). I was told to join the former backup disk, Time Machine USB 2.0 on my new computer before the first start and following the guests. Of course the software may not be compatible, but I would like to transfer as many files over the old machine to the new as possible so that I can remove the 24 ", or at least re - goal there.

This is the best method. Should I add some steps of the process or do something else? I was aware of something special during this process? Please notify.

Thank you!

Congratulations Kort! Yes, that would be the best way. But this the first time you start your new Mac. After that, it will create a second home folder issue.

Move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support

BTW - I hate to disappoint you, but it will not come with Sierra, which is a beta version. It will come with El Capitan.

  • Impossible to copy old details in the new Firefox

    Long story short, I did not know Firefox Sync and my old installation of Windows is damaged due to a corruption of HD, and I reinstalled Windows on a new PC.

    I have Firefox installed on your new PC, and in the past I would just copy files as places.sqlite on the new profile and bookmarks would be restored, but that has not worked. In fact, I replaced each element (straight upward to copy and paste to replace the new files) of the old profile in the news, but when I reopen it firefox, this is still a new installation; no saved passwords, cookies, history, nothing.

    Any ideas?

    Have you tried to use the Profile Manager?

    • To start, press the Windows key + R
    • Type in firefox.exe - ProfileManager and click OK

    • Close the Profile Manager and launch Firefox
  • Cannot move old profile to the new facility

    I need to move my FF profile for a new installation of FF on a new PC, but I can't get the profile to "stick".

    I tried to copy the files from the old profile into the new folder by default and the default editing the .ini to the game file, but it does not work. I tried to delete the new default profile and insert the old, but the default profile folder recreates itself. Where FF stores the new default profile number and how can I change it?

    I know that it is possible to move an existing to a new installation of FF profile, as I've done it before, but I can't make it work this time. What I am doing wrong?

  • reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    We have 4 old desktop computers with windows xp I want to reuse the license of Windows XP from the old office to the new office

    I bought a HP desktop computer and dell preinstalled with Windows XP. The office has not worked for a few years, he has the processor are P4 and slow work.

    I recently bought a desktop computer and wanted to know can I use the same license key to get Windows XP installed on my new desktop computer.

    Note: I have lost my original installation of windows CD but have the office and Windows XP product code is available to me.

    The old HP desktop and dell came with a license with the sticker on the side.

    Any PC which came with a sticker with a key to activate product on it has a license that is related to this PC (and only this PC) for ever. It is not legal to install on a PC using the key videos from another PC.

    If the PC you want to install XP on still has its sticker, then as much as you have a compatible installation XP CD, XP can be re-installed using the key on the sticker.

    Only commercial versions of XP can be moved from one PC to another. With the commercial versions, the activation key came with the media, not on a label stuck on the PC.

  • has got the biggest hard drive, can I transfer old install to the new drive?

    C: space too small

    My Windows XP Professional is installed on a 10 GB hard drive, there is little room left. I added an external drive more and would like to move the system to the largest disk. I don't have a installation disc. Can I transfer the system and applications to the new drive without losing any functionality and maybe use the old drive (C :) to store data.

    Its not so easy.  It is best to get rid of some of the files on the old drive and move the data files to the new drive.  Try to go first to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.  Then you can move locations of various data, such as temporary Internet files (in Internet Explorer go to tools |) Internet Options | Settings and click the folder to move and which will move this place).  If you use OE, first back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then put in place a new directory on the new drive to something like D:\OESTORE and then go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder and click the button change and set it as the new location.  Then close and reopen OE (DO NOT MOVE MESSAGES yourself! as he will destroy them) and the location must be moved.

    For other space saver, try to do a backup on the new disk directory and copy all update backups that were made (the Blues subdirectories in the Windows directory) and the Windows\inf directory that you can completely roll over to the new drive for backup purposes and you may need to browse to it, if you install a new device , but which will save a lot of space. (the above two suggestions require that you go to control panel |) Folder options | View and activate display files and hidden folders, enable showing protected and OS files and disable the option Hide extensions of known file types).  Move also on other data such as images, documents, music to the new drive.

    So if you have lots of space on C, defrag it.

    But just copy through the old drive to the new and try to start on the new one is unlikely to work.

    Try to start your system in safe mode and disable/uninstall the game for now. If the uninstallation of this game is everything to normal, you will need to install it again. If this is not the case, try another solution.

    First of all make sure you disable / disconnect in order to save the number of activations.

    Click the help menu, and then select disable / disconnect .

    Then you can uninstall in Control Panel uninstall process as normal.

  • importing data from the old system to the new system, key to the raw16 column

    Hi, experts,

    now I have a new system, the design of the system is to use raw (16) column as the key column in all tables of database.
    of course, when the new system goes live (in production), new records of transactions are written to the new database system.
    When the new system inserts new records, it manages itself to avoid any conflict of the raw key column value (16)


    Now, I'm dealing with this problem:

    I need to import data from the old system to the new system, I use sys_guid() to fill the column raw (16) into the new database system.
    How can I avoid conflicts of raw column value (16) between the old system data and the new data of database system?

    the sql code I write is very simple:

    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16,...,...)
    Select sys_guid(), old_sys_col_a, old_sys_col_b
    of old_sys_table_a;
    insert into new_sys_table_a (key_column_raw_16, col1, col2 )
    select key_column_raw_16, col1, col2
    from old_sys_table_a;
    
  • Migration of data from the old platform to the new primary database, need advice.

    I have physical standby facility and everything works now.

    Next weekend, we will do the actual migration of the old platform to the new environment.

    I have several issues of concern.

    Migration will go to the primary database. I'll have to remove patterns and inside expdp dmp.

    While I do all those, what data base waiting? should I disable it again apply?

    What other concerns and precautions I need to take before I have to remove all data from primary school and do a migration?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello;

    My main concern would be the FRA (assuming you use it).

    By doing all that generates a ton of archives, you have to worry about the space on both sides.

    I would consider increasing my FRA on both sides.

    I would not disable the recovery, but I look very close and be willing to adjust my space as needed.

    As long as you don't miss space you should be fine. I had once a backup log files more than 250, and it took about 15 minutes to catch up.

    Have a little prepared scripts in advance if you can increase the space or delete archive applied and it should be fine.

    I also opened at least two terminals on the primary and Standby. Everyone look at space and the other to execute all what you need to adjust the space.

    The rest is common sense, first do the smaller drawing if you have an idea what to expect. Decaying etc. as much as possible.

    Best regards
