PC Mac Migration and conservation optimal scenario Suggestions please

So I'm finally migrate to an iMac and I'm looking for "best practices" suggestions on file storage.

On the PC I have kept all my files raw image on an internal 2 TB drive.

My new iMac (27 "retina, i7, SSD 512, 16 G ram) has obviously limited disk storage. While most of you are? Keep all your images on an external drive? Or do keep you the most recent and current workload on your internal drive to Mac and go outside when you need space? What is the best practice?

I think the simplest migration route would be to export everything to an external hard drive formatted exFAT and import the catalog into the iMac and leave the image on the external hard drive files.

Any opinions?

(Sorry if this question has been asked but all I find are suggestions on the basic migration... nothing found on recommended or ideal practices... thank you).

Thank you

Chris

I've also got an iMac; I store all my Raw (DNG) files on an external hard drive.  All Images edited in Photoshop or other software are stored as psd or tif also on the EHD even.  The LR catalog is on my internal drive, but with a backup also stored on the EHD.  The only files which end in the internal drive are my JPEGs exported.  Most of them will be removed once they are downloaded to the purposes for which they were made, so that the internal drive is never overloaded.  In addition, I have an identical DHM 2nd one which is automatically reproduced by SuprtDuper!, an application software for the Mac shirt pocket cloning.  In this way, all my first photos as well as the edited psd and tif files AND my LR catalog are saved in case of failure of the EHD.

  • Migration and upgrade EBD Linux Solaris 11 to 12

    Migration and upgrade EBD Linux Solaris 11 to 12

    We want to migrate an existing Oracle EBS from Linux to Solaris and at the same time do a upgrade for R12. The plan is to upgrade an existing EBS 11.5.10 executed under Oracle RDBMS 10.2.5 (Linux) to Oracle EBS 12.1.2 and Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.2.0 on Solaris.

    I don't know what is the best approach for this. My Initial plan is to

    1 Migrate Linux database by creating a new Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.2.0 on solaris and use Rman/expdb to migrate the database on. I can't seem to find any documentation on the migration of the Applications Tier on platform for 11i rel (note Application Tier Platform Migration with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 [ID 438086.1] refers to 12 Rel.

    2. run the Quick Setup (from Solaris) and select the option to perform the upgrade. This will create a tops/directory of the application on my new Solaris database

    3. run the post updated and remedial steps.

    Is - this too simplistic? This approach allows me to bypass the need to pass a Solaris Linux application frameworks

    I believe that this approach is not taken in charge. You must either upgrade can migrate, or migrate then upgrade.

    If you want to upgrade and then migrate, please see:

    If the Time Capsule and MacBook Pros are not on the same network, the MacBook is not backup in the time Capsule. You probably see what snapshots leaving MacBook on the local disk, until the two are reconnected. If you don't want that to happen, disable Time Machine on a different network.

    I have a Version of El Capitan OSX 5 years 10.11.3, processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5computer.  It is slow and jerky.  Any suggestions?  I empty the trash. I have an external backup.

    Update your software OS X v10.11.4.

    Instructions here > How to upgrade OS X

    If after the update is installed, you see always the same slow and jerky behavior, a Safe Mode boot removes the system caches that can help.

    Upper left corner of your screen, click on the Apple  > Shut Down.

    After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.

    As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key. You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.

    Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    Once you are in Mode without failure, return to the menu Apple . In the drop-down list, click: reboot

  • Direct networking Mac Pros, and via a switch setting

    I have a Mac Pro from previous gen and will migrate to a 2013. I'll keep one older goes for FCP7 concerts that come to life.

    So for the migration and the initial period of work the bugs out ("Dang?', where is the After effects plugin "AW, forget a font! "Where this stupid buy code?") I'll need to have network; I also need to buy a bunch of attachments for spinning-disk RAID, SSD, optical drive, etc. There will be a period I will access pictures and things of the old system while working on another.

    So my question: the old Pro is connected to a switch and several macs are networked throughout my space. There is an additional port close to my office so I can network the pro - but it it possible/fast/sought somehow to have old mac plugged into the switch and plug the other into the free Ethernet port on the old, because they will be sitting side by side (Yes, my office will be a mess for awhile).

    Basically, I was wondering if a direct connection between two Mac will be faster file transfers and allow a new access to the internet.

    (I know how to add the new for the network, but still she wondered why there are two ports on Mac high range). Thanks for any thoughts.

    for near-Hard Drive performance, you need a Gigabit Ethernet switch. If you do not, you must get a. It's the only acceptable way to manage the transfer of files from local computer.

    Your router has no need to gigabit speeds, because your Internet connection is not likely to be faster than 100M bps. The "trick" (if it exists) is that the computer transfers to use Ethernet wiring, but they do not use the routing on the router, only direct data transfer function (switch functions ""), if a cable like that. "

    There is no simple way to get faster speeds, like plug it into a computer by cable-computer.

    The second Ethernet port is good for storage area network connecting, as a NAS.

  • create a PoC demo on a scenario suggested for B2C

    I am completely new to ATG and have read through its (trade in Oracle 11.0) user's guides

    A fundamental question - must create a PoC demo on a scenario suggested for B2C. What I understand so far, I should start by the scenarios of ACC module in which I can integrate events from other applications such as trade too.

    OR

    should I start building on web stores and trade and reference features store alongwith using the BCC admin content?

    Why it can't be used to approach, if it wasn't for ATG, we went this route in any other product for example: in Siebel. ?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    It's a little difficult to give advice without knowing your needs. The application of demonstration web store is a good starting point because it contains most, if not all the functions that needed an application to trade, including demonstration scenarios. You use CIM to build the and deploy the demo application. You use the VAC for design scenarios, which should be loaded in the database by the server of the process Editor. ITC is mainly used to manage the active trade for instance catalog items, promotions and target groups. These assets are then deployed on servers in target page.

    can I delete email on mac accounts and retain their remaining icloud?

    I'm looking forward clean my OSX and I wondered if I delete accounts on mac, along withh records, etc., do I still have access to them in Icloud. (I don't know which way the sync works)

    Unless the e-mail accounts are based icloud.  That is to say, they end in @icloud.com, then without removing the Mac not keep them in iCloud because they are not in first place.

    You should always be able to access through their respective clients to Web Mail however.

    If they are based iCloud.com, then Yes you can remove form Mac and they are accessible via http://icloud.com by logging into each account there.

  • How UNSYNC Mac Mail and Gmail, so the messages are only 'read' on each device?

    Hello

    I use Mac Mail and Gmail with my own domain through Google Apps.

    My account managers have personal emails (IE [email protected] & [email protected]) and they also have an email that they all use two ([email protected]) which is set up on both of their computers for if someone is sick, they know what the other is working on.

    The problem is that when one of them reads an email on the "[email protected] email, mark it as read on the enamel of the other person too.» Is there some way to do so a new message arrives and he scored only as read email when each person reads it?

    Thanks in advance.

    I don't think so. Google apps uses IMAP or ActiveSync, which are intended to reflect all changes across the mailbox is used. Looks like you're after more than one distribution from the list which will copy the email in each personal users box, as a list of all the staff, but as you have several accounts, which could become confusing.

    It might be worth looking at login via POP - if Google allows. POP basically just download all will send them on the sync server and custom changes (providing check you what are the options in the account settings). It is not guaranteed that POP is not generally pushed, so will check every 5 min or so - and if someone read and email deleted at this time, it will not download a copy.

    Alternative would be to set up rules that transmits an entrant copy each users mailbox and that filter in a subfolder, but this all duplicate and the habit of thinking whats been answered or deleted in the source mailbox.

    I hope that makes sense...
