Re: Restore new mac from old Time Machine b.up

If you will forgive me replying to my own email:

It occurs to me that:

The obvious way to do this was with the Set-up assistant on the new machine, or with migration assistant later.
Rod tried this first, but ran into problems – he wonders if the problem is restoring from 10.5 system to a 10.6 system.
If so, the same problems MAY prevent step 1 of my approach also.

If this is the case, you could try using a 10.5 system (assuming you have another 10.5 machine available) to perform step 1 and then proceed with steps 2  3 from the new 10.6 Macbook.


Just a thought.

Hi Ronni  Rod,

I’m not 100% sure on this – so please forgive me if I’ve got hold of the wrong end of the stick!

From Rod’s email he wants to restore all a students accounts  info from the Time machine backup of the students old macbook (which is dead) to a new macbook.

I would have thought that the instructions Ronni has given are more appropriate for restoring to the same computer (say if the hard disc died and was replaced)

My concerns:
The original machine was older hardware and ran OSX 10.5 
The new machine came with OSX 10.6 
The restore procedure given will restore the hard drive to the OSX 10.5 configuration of the old machine. 
This configuration may not suit the new hardware.

For example, my new iMac27, delivered with SL 10.6, will not boot from a clone of my old 24” iMac running Leopard 10.5. Also, I note that the article that Ronni references http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018 does say:

 But do not try this full system restore from a different Mac's backups. If it 
 boots at all, many things will likely go wrong, as the new Mac won't have the 
 correct hardware drivers, among other things. 

I would have thought a better approach might be:

Perform a Time Machine restore of the old system (as per Ronni’s instructions) to either a separate hard drive or a separate partition (to the SL 10.6 system) on the new machine. 
Then use Migration assistant to copy the accounts (and applications if wished and compatible) from the restored Leopard drive/partition to the new SL drive/partition. 
After successful migration, testing and back-up of the new set-up, the original restored Leopard drive/partion can be erased.

This may take longer to do, but I would have thought it would ensure that the appropriate system software was installed on the new machine. Forgive me if I have misunderstood the situation/set-up, but I would hate to see the ne
w macbook SL system get overwritten with the 10.5 system of an older hardware machine.

Re: Parallels: Explorer won't connect to internet

2010-02-04 Thread David Hudleston

Hi Neil,

I have followed your instruction and everything checks out down to  
level 4.


However when I try to connect to Windows update, Explorer comes back  
with the message:


website found, waiting for reply (at bottom of screen) then

Internet Explorer cannot display the web page

I used the diagnose connection problems and got the following message:

Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP, HTTPS or FTP. This  
is probably caused by the firewall settings on this computer
Check the firewall settings or HTTP (port 80), HTTPS (port 443) and  
FTP (port 21).
You might need to contact your internet service provider (ISP) or the  
manufacturer of your firewall software.


The same message comes up when I try to use Explorer

David Hudleston

Level 1 is obviously OK since your are accessing the internet,

Level 2 is the next to check - with Parallels running check your VM

In the configuration menu that comes up select “Hardware”
Confirm that the hardware list includes a Network Adapter and select

Confirm that there is a check against the “Connected” box
Make note of the Type of networking used (eg “Shared Networking”)

If this is OK look at Level 3:
Under the Windows START menu, go to “My Network Places”
Under the “Network Tasks” sidebar, select “View network connections”
Note what it says. On my current VM, for example, the heading is  
“LAN or High-Speed Internet” and under that there is an icon called  
Local Area Connection 5 (your number is likely to be different) and  
the info “Connected” and “Parallels Ethernet Adapter #2”


A level 4 problem would be indicated if, for example, other windows

connecting.



At this point, if the problem has not become obvious, report back to  
us with the info noted during your checks.



Good luck.

I can vouch for O2M. Not only does it just transfer the messages, it preserves

but I have had nothing but excellent results each time (as recently as a week 
into 2010!).

Just one point: taker careful note of the information you provide when you 
pay for the software: if you ever have to download or pay for it again, you 
will be asked to repeat that information exactly.

Better still, remove Zone Alarm completely. It will continue to cause problems. 
You have the Mac OS X firewall and your Broadband Router interceding between 
Windows and and the Internet, and Windows is sandboxed inside Parallels anyway. 
If you're really nervous, just turn on the Windows Firewall. You'll be fine.

Paint documents can be saved as other formats (TIFF, PICT, etc) and used in 
iWork and other software. The only module which presents a problem is the Draw 
module. While Pages will not import these documents, in most cases individual 
objects or their contents can be copied and pasted from AppleWorks to Pages in 
Desktop Publishing mode. In fact, I finally spent some time last weekend doing 
just that with my business cards, which have always been in an Appleworks Draw 
document. Didn't take too long.

Oh yeah, don't use Kapersky Firewall!
In fact uninstall Kapersky ... fast!

Install the latest AVG Anti-Virus 'Free Edition'.

 Hello David,
 
 I hope Neil doesn't mind me butting in here, but I remember a client having 
 a similar problem and I located that Zone Alarm was causing this.
 If you are running Zonealarm, Set the Internet security setting in 
 Zonealarm to Medium.
 
 Navigate to the ZoneAlarm Firewall panel
 Click on the Firewall tab
 Move the Internet Zone slider to medium
 
 Cheers,
 Ronni
 
 
 
 Better still, remove Zone Alarm completely. It will continue to cause 
 problems. You have the Mac OS X firewall and your Broadband Router 
 interceding between Windows and and the Internet, and Windows is sandboxed 
 inside Parallels anyway. If you're really nervous, just turn on the Windows 
 Firewall. You'll be fine.
