Transfer of data from the old and new Mac

Hi folks, I'm acquires a new iMac, PC (with Retina 4 K display 21.5 inch iMac) to replace my current iMac (21.5 inch, mid 2010). I sold my existing iMac and will have to ship power off before receiving the new unit, ergo, I won't be able to use the method of transfer of my data from the old to the new Mac.

Accordingly, I am looking help form to advise me how can I do to preserve my existing Mac data so that I can install on the new Mac. In addition, how to delete all my data from the old Mac but preserve the OS X (El Capitan) and relevant applications.

All of the advice and recommendations will be greatly appreciated

1. create a Time Machine backup or clone bootable on an external drive, and then migrate your data from it.

2. you need to remove El Capitan of the old Mac before send you it off and return it to the most recent of its original operating system or 10.6.8.

  • New iPad: restore the data from the old iPad, but...

    I got a new iPad. I have already backed up my old iPad to iTunes and wanted to put in place the new iPad to restore this backup data. BUT when I connected to iTunes, I've learned that I have to update the operating system first. He wouldn't let me NOT restore from backup! I had to set up as a new iPad.

    So, I did the installation of the new operating system. But I have a lot of applications and data from the old iPad I want on the new iPad. How can I quickly transfer these data? I have found no method to restore the backup of the old iPad now since. Frustrated!

  • Transfer of files from the old PC to new PC?

    Hello

    I am trying to transfer my profile of an old HP ProBook s 4430 to a Dell desktop all in one computer

    How can I do this? I'm sick of this slow computer! Help, please.

    Thank you in advance.

    Easy Transfer is correct.

    Easy transfer is a facility built into Windows 7, designed to transfer your data AND settings from the old to new PC.

    You will need an external USB hard drive.  Hook it up and get it recognized by the old system.

    Click on the starting planet

    Simple type in the text box that appears

    Select and click Easy transfer

    From there, it is easy to follow.

    It creates a large file with everything what it.  Works like a charm.  I use it all the time and have for years.  Also works for the passage to a new hard drive.  It will take a while on the OLD computer, but it's walk and come back later thing.  Works much faster on the new.  Helps a lot if you use your USB 3 port and that you have an external hard drive that supports USB3.

  • 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;

  • How to move data from the old hard drive to a new operating system, games, songs, vista etc.

    you want to install more hard drive. How can I move all of the data, os, games, music, etc.

    and have computer always starts.

    Hello

    You cannot move by themselves programs

    you need to reinstall it from the original media

    read this about moving everything, including the operating system

    or save your data and reinstall clean vista

    There are different ways to do

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning software to move your operating system installed from the old to the new hard disk

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. that vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new hard drive

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

    Save all data, because it will be lost, do the above

  • 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

  • Satellite L300 - how to transfer data from the old HARD drive?

    I have a toshiba Satellite 2410-504, which gave me the blue screen so I bought a L300 to replace.
    Different are documents and photos I would like to recover from the old tosh-

    Can I switch from hard drives overall if they are compatible or y at - it an advance to do and how... help!

    The only way I know, it's that you buy an external HARD drive enclosure where you can put in the old HDD. Connect the HARD drive old this is the case with the USB cable to your laptop new and then you can copy your documents and photos.

    These cases are not expensive and s for external HARD drive are very practical.

  • Running the old and new Vcenters simultaneously on the same San

    We spend VSphere 4.1 to 5.5. We are very weak with only 3 hosts running about 20 comments of the virtual computer on a San.  Our former VM VCenter is always on Win 2003 and I am changing as well.

    So instead of doing an upgrade from 4.1 to 5.5 and convert the former vcenter 4.1, we decided to simply fill out a brand new VSphere 5.5 installation to a new server we have.  We have also installed a Vcenter 5.5 new appliance as well. So, essentially, we have installed two different vcenter, old and new running.  Then, we plan to move hosts esxi 4.1 existing in the new Vcenter device manually.   Then eventually fly over the guests of a host in the new box and then wipe and reload each older host with 5.5

    So I've already finished the first half of this project.  But I have a question.

    During the passage of Windows VCenter 4.1 to the new host esx and VCenter Unit 5.5. I run two VCenter (ver 4.1 and ver 5.5) simultaneously for a short period of a few days.  We're still running on the host 4.1 old and the new vcenter 5.5 running on the new esx host 5.5.

    We will walk a host both the old VCenter and will be added to the new Vcenter 5.5 appliance.  But I'll share my SAN alone of course. If I do this and the two versions of VCenter (old and new) running at the same time and sharing my data SAN even stores at the same time, are there problems with it?  I don't think so, but I'm not sure.

    I installed the first new esxi host and I pointed out to my warehouse of SAN data without any problem. And data warehouses has appeared as they should.  But when I add the new host for the new VCenter, as part of the installation process, it displays all relevant San warehouses.  I thought it was weird to show during the 'Add host' vcenter.  Are there restrictions to running two VERSIONS different VCenter simultaneously on the same data warehouses?

    Thank you.

    HMorris

    You can have multiple instances from running in the same environment vCenter server. What you need to take care of, it's that the ESXi hosts that share the same warehouses not have access to each and other virtual machines (i.e. do not add VMS to multiple hosts). Keep in mind that only VMFS3 data warehouses are available in two versions, do not pass the VMFS data store to VMFS5 when running always hosts v4.1.

    > as part of the installation process, it displays all relevant San warehouses

    That's ok. When you add a host to vCenter Server it will show that all connected, as well as the VMS data warehouses that are stored on this host.
