Title: Moving WeatherCat to a new Computer
Post by: Blicj11 on January 15, 2014, 10:00:03 AM
Tonight, a term I use loosely, as it is now 3:00 in the morning, I followed the Wiki and moved my WeatherCat installation to a new computer. It worked! The only thing that did not come over with the weathercat.plist was my FTP password. Everything else migrated and I am now running on a new iMac with Mavericks. Now for some sleep.

Dear Blick, Reinhard, and Weather fans,

Tonight, a term I use loosely, as it is now 3:00 in the morning, I followed the Wiki and moved my WeatherCat installation to a new computer.


 ;)
Hmm, you mean you spent 6+ hours to migrate WeatherCat to a new computer?

Ya' must have been goin' about it da' HARD way!
[banghead]  [biggrin]

I just swapped my solid state drive into my refurbished 2011 MacBook Pro on Saturday and bingo, I was up and running in less than an hour!  [computer]

It worked!

Seriously, glad that things worked out for you!  [tup]

It does sound like a long time to copy files though.  Did you run into any surprises? (http://www.canebas.org/Weather/LWC_forum/Custom_emoticons/computer_sock_it_to_me.gif)

I am now running on a new iMac with Mavericks.

Honestly, from what I'm hearing about Mavericks, I think that staying with Snow Leopard is more of a feature than a bug!  :o  Sure am glad a burned a DVD of Mountain Lion.  When I finally upgrade, I'll probably only go that far until somebody tells me that the surf has calmed down on Marvericks.

 ;) . . . After all, scuba divers really don't go for big waves anyway!! (http://www.canebas.org/Weather/LWC_forum/Custom_emoticons/Scuba-smiley-emoticon-small.gif)

Ha ha! The Cat didn't take 6 hours. It took less than 15 minutes for WeatherCat. What took 6 hours was copying my iPhoto Library and my iTunes.

I decided not to use Migration Assistant so I could assure myself that I have a clean install of everything.

The WeatherCat install was fast, clean and neat. I was pretty stoked when I clicked on the Cat and it started to purr. Love this software.

Okay, now I get why it took so long.

Ain't that the truth!!  [tup]  WeatherCat might even change the mind of dog lovers   [cat]. . . . . . almost!   [biggrin]
