The best way to transfer/clone frm one machine to a newer version...

Hello wizzards of Macintosh:

I just bought used, but significantly more recent and more powerful MBP15.

Core 2 Duo to i7 machine turning.

I want to transfer my existing configuration - files, settings, under license from software etc. him verbatim.

The easiest way would be to clone. I own and use the CCC.

That said, I want to start enough clean. Is it possible and beneficial to do what follows?

1 clone my system X.11.3 through all the 200 GB of it

2 pure install X.11.3 top and update immediately

Your grain of salt. I want to avoid is the hours to reconfigure the system and load all the software (desktop license keys, etc, etc.).

TIA,

Grant

Or the other option is fine. I did both and could not make the difference.

The 'clean install' method allows you to clean your installation of 3rd party applications installing DO NOT those that you don't use or are outdated. It also allows for the filter settings. But to your question, it takes time for everything to reconfigure and reinstall applications.

You choose!

  • What is the best way to transfer the file to a new larger internal drive?

    I am running win 7 ultimate.  I had two hard drives of 500 GB.  C is partitioned to 120 GB (not enough) I just installed a 1.5 terabyte drive.  What is the best way to transfer my data? I would keep the 500 GB (now C: and D :) and add the 1.5 to, I also have a 2 external to that I tried to move my libraries at, but I'm confused my system.)  I don't know much about indexing or mapping.

    \

    Consider transferring all the files that are currently in the second partition of 500 GB drive that is hosting the C: drive (you have referred to as D :) on the new drive.

    Once you have done this, you can then delete the D: partition since this 1 hard drive. This would then extend the C: drive to actually use all the 500 GB drive. Finally change the drive letter for the 1.5 terabyte disk d: it in disk management ( Diskmgmt.mscRun)

    So in the end you have a 500 GB C drive and a 1.5 TB drive D.

    When it comes to move libraries Windows has a utility to do it for you. If you click on your username at the top right of the menu start all your user profile directories are displayed. If you right-click on each one and select Properties, those that support this feature will have a tab 'location '. In this tab, it displays the current location of the file, but has a button "move". You move the folder and all its files and subfolders in a new location and update the references, the system uses for this folder.

    So if you created a folder on the D drive say 'Juli-year' and you right-click on Favorites, some properties, then on location you can move this summary folder in C:\Users\username\Favourites to D:\Juli-An\Favourites. Not all folders in the user profile supports this but all the c library files and a few others.

    Of course if you did as I suggested and ended with a 500 GB C drive you may need.

  • What is the best way to transfer a hard drive of a computer with a motherboard dead to a new system?

    Moving an Installation of Vista

    Hi guys (and girls).

    I'm looking for the best way to transfer my computer drive "workaholic" into another machine... it's a Vista Home Premium x 86 OEM installation, but the motherboard has serious problems, so I'll pulling the reader (and its programs of many irreplaceable and owners) and transfer it into another machine. Yes, I know what are the rules regarding OEM licenses and I don't mean to skirt the rules, as I have a full VHPx86 commercial license collecting dust on the shelf that I was going to use, while I was looking for advice on the transfer:

    Should I go through the process of installation/installation (and following key change) on the original machine and transfer, then the drive in the new machine?

    Or can I move the disk to the new machine as that is, struggle with the driver updates and enter the new key when I reactivate the license?

    Thanks for any advice,

    JAM

    I suggest to install the copy retail hard disk once it's in the new computer.  It is more complicated than simply changing the product key.  You can probably use an upgrade of the repair on-site and avoid having to reinstall your programs and data.  However, you should make a backup of the image first, just in case something goes wrong.  The other option is a clean installation of the new OS and Windows Easy Transfer to move your files and settings.  It would need to reinstall your programs.  Personally, I recommend the latter.  If you go this route there are external to the file migwiz drive since you will be formatting the drive.

    What is the best way to transfer pictures from an old computer to a flash drive or a drive back then to a new computer?

    The easiest and most reliable I've found is to make the direct drag-and-drop method.

    (1) on the old computer, open your Windows Explorer and go to your photos.

    (2) open another Windows Explorer window and access your 'Computer' folder and in your flash drive

    (3) drag the photos to the flash drive.

    (4) take the flash drive on the new computer and drag them into your images folder

  • Best way to transfer content from one medium to another?

    I have flash drives and external drives with many files of data arranged in a structure complex files - 100s of GB each.

    What is the best way to 'save' the media on a bigger external drive (2 TB)?

    (I also want to 'save' selected files on the internal hard disk, for example everything under Documents And Settings.)

    If I simply select and copy the text in the root level (ctrl + A), then paste it into a folder on the drive of TB, I get for files that are encrypted and protected guests or otherwise special in some way, even if I am connected to an administrator account.

    Therefore, I have to keep the entire process which can take a long time (hours).

    I want to start the process and walk away.

    What Win7 Easy Transfer?

    Is there something better to use?

    Well, I see that this discussion is wrong anywhere.  I'll search and experiment myself.

    I determine that Win7 Backup is not a viable solution.  It seems to back up only the data on the internal hard drives.

    I'll watch the multitude of alternatives that turn upward with a Google search.

    I might consider Acronis TI, if I can find a detailed description of its features and how to use it first, because it is not free.  The site says «it's the cloud storage»  Of course, that does not satisfy my needs.  I said at the beginning I want to back up to 'a big external disk '.

  • Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transfer the CS6 and Lightroom

    Just bought a new Apple computer. What is the best way to transer CS6 and Lightroom? Both applications have been updated. Should I reinstall it on the Adobe site?

    first of all, if you're going to retire this old computer or, at least, no longer use your adobe on this old computer programs, open and click Help > deactivate.

    then install your files to your new computer and activate.  If you already have an installation cd, you don't need to download.  If you don't have the installation files, download the trial and activate it with your order number.

    I do not understand 'mobile friendly', I was told that Google will start to penalize websites that aren't 'mobile friendly '.  I know that large companies (example tiffany jewelry) has a "mobile" site  I have to do a separate mobile site?

  • Identify the best way to transfer data between applications in Essbase

    Hello Experts,


    One of my clients uses Hyperion System 9.3.1 and they try to understand if the partitioning might be a way to automate the transfer of data between applications Essbase (using the partitioning of replication).

    The challenge, they say, is that they may need to send the budget a source application (SLVQ) data to an application (consolidated) target. Data can be changed in Conso and returned to the SLVQ for review.

    They get warnings when they define partitions in both directions because the partitions are overlapping, but it works.

    Are there concepts or reasons why they should not use this function (transfer in both directions)? Is this something that is used by other companies?

    Their alternative is to export data in text file, then reload with rule files. It seems more difficult to define (MaxL scripts-> text files-> rules of files) with more chances of getting errors. Is there some other effective solutions which we do not understand?

    Please suggest.

    Thanks in advance

    Kind regards
    Jingle

    Hi Lisa,
    other than the scores, text file
    There are two more, according to my knowledge

    1 XREF
    2 HAL (Hyperion Application Link) using adapters essbase

    We use the XREF and HAL to our company to transfer data between applications according to the needs.
    I hope this helps.

  • The best way to transfer items from the old to the new mac?

    I don't want to transfer the 'bad things' of my old macbook pro to my new macbook air.

    I understand how to transfer my whole system, but which would also take the old stuff I want to leave behind.  You are addressing a model here, so that's why I'd like my new mac to not be infiltrated by bad things.  I cleaned as best as I can on my old mac.

    I think that I can choose what to take charge using a different method.  I discovered only where are my emails.  Use this as an example, do you think that it a bad idea for me to decide what to transfer?  I'd hate to lose points.  I really need to transfer all my word documents and software I use, for example, my family ancestry tree software.  Apart from the word, my tree (which has been downloaded using a disc), software emails, I can leave behind everything else.  Please give me your impressions.

  • Could someone tell me the best way to transfer files and settings from an old computer to a newer version?

    Hello everyone, once again I find myself going to the pro to know what you're probably going to think is an easy thing to do, but I have to swallow my pride and ask anyway. Before I ask my question, I need to let you know that I'm almost completely computer illiterate. I can manage to do somethings, but I have a feeling this is going to be difficult. I have an older Dell model, this is the Dimension 2350 series and I would like to transfer those things on that is also a Dell, but it's an Intel Pentium 4. . Really, I don't have as long as it's what files to transfer, but especially picutres of family or your holiday. What worries me is transfer the settings on my old computer to the newest one. I have a Windows XP CD drive that comes with a new computer. What help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!  Can you give me an idea what I have to do first with the old as in the steps I have to take.

    Question for you:
     
    What is the operating system on both systems?  They are both Windows XP?  Is the older Windows XP and the newer Windows Vista?  Windows 7?  Something else?
     
    I ask only because whatever you mentioned was a Windows XP CD that is supplied with the newest computer.  The truth - the newest computer is already up and working as you want - if not relevant.  The answer to the foregoing will help someone lead you correctly.
