Should I back up the data on my new computer before I use "Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"? "Safety Notice
First, please be aware that rare and unpredictable hardware or software failures can occur whenever you use any IT product. One of the possible consequences is the loss of your data and files. The only practical way to avoid this risk is to create and verify multiple regular backups and store them in a safe place.

You alone are fully responsible at all times for the safety of all your data and files.

Whilst transfering to a new PC (using any vendors product) is generally no more risky that normal use of your PC, it is worth remembering that ANY computer can fail at ANY time without warning. If that failure is bad enough it may destory all data on the PC. Thus backups are essential for EVERY computer regardless of use.

It is highly unlikely that ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" would result in any loss of data on your new computer. However, before you make changes to a computer system using any utility program, you should always make sure that you can return the system to its previous state if a problem should arise.

Many new computers include a CD-ROM disk that allows you to easily restore the factory-installed software on the hard disk (including the Windows operating system and all applications) in a single step. Without such a disk, restoration is a more time consuming process, involving the reinstallation of the operating system and applications from original CDs.

If you are upgrading a new computer that does not include such a Restore or Recovery CD, we recommend that you back up the data on the computer's hard drive before proceeding to save time in the event of a problem."
"Can anything bad happen when I use ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover""? " "Safety Notice
First, please be aware that rare and unpredictable hardware or software failures can occur whenever you use any IT product. One of the possible consequences is the loss of your data and files. The only practical way to avoid this risk is to create and verify multiple regular backups and store them in a safe place.

You alone are fully responsible at all times for the safety of all your data and files.

During the transfer process no changes are made to the old PC and so there is no chance that anything bad will happen to it as a result of the transfer.

The transfer process could potentially result in the loss of data on your new PC system whilst integrating the files and settings from the old PC. Although it is highly unlikely that a problem will occur during the transfer, you always have the option of performing an ""Undo"" of the transfer on the new PC if you are unhappy with the result for any reason. When you undo the transfer, the new PC is returned to its pre-transfer state."
What exactly does "Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover" transfer? Will it overwrite my new operating system? What about temporary files in my Recycle Bin or Internet Explorer cache? "We understand your concern that your new computer's operating system might be altered and your new hard drive cluttered with junk files you don't need or want. We have taken great care to bring you a product that copies all of your programs and files to your new computer without damaging its pre-installed software.

During a transfer ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" compares the files and settings on your two computers. Most files and settings on the old computer that do not exist on the new computer are moved. ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" includes ""rules"", however, that tell it not to move certain files. Exceptions include temporary files such as those in your Recycle Bin and Web browser's cache as well as various system files that are not required or desired on the new system. "
Can "Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover" transfer multiple users to a new PC? Yes. It is not uncommon for several individuals in a family or business to use a single computer, with individual user profiles set up on the PC for each person. It is a simple matter to transfer multiple users to a new PC.
Can I transfer from a newer operating system to an older operating system?It is not recommended that you transfer from a newer operating system to an older operating system. Doing this will lead to unpredictable results and may render your system unbootable.
"I do not have Internet access on my New computer or something is blocking the connection. How do I acquire a validation code so that I may perform the transfer? " "If you do not have internet access on the Old computer or something is blocking the connection to our validation server, you will need to obtain a validation code manually. Follow these directions in order to do this.

1) When ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" requests your serial number, click on the No Internet Access button.

2) Your Network Name and Session Code are displayed on this screen.
You will need the ""Network Name"" and ""Session Code"", along with your ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" Serial Number, in order to obtain the ""Validation Code"". Once you have these, you will need to use one of these two methods to obtain the ""Validation Code""
Method A On another computer with internet access, go to http://validate.laplink.com and select the ""PCmover"" option. Fill in the information on the form, and click the Validate Serial Number button to get your validation code.
Method B If you do not have Internet access on any other computers, contact Orlogix Support and we will be able to assist you with obtaining the validation code over the phone. You will need to provide the above information to the representative. It is suggested that you be at the New computer with the Get Validation Code screen open when you contact Orlogix Support.
3) Once you have obtained your ""Validation Code"", simply enter it into the Validation Code field of the Get Validation Code screen and click Ok. This will take you back to the first screen, enter your name and e-mail address, leave the Validation Code in the Serial Number field, and click Next. Your computer should now be validated and ready to proceed with the migration.

NOTE: For your Name, enter First and Last name only. You may receive and invalid serial number error if you enter a middle initial or punctuation."

I receive a "Cannot Load Snapshot." error when "Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover" is loading the snapshot on the Old computer. "This error message occurs when ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" has a problem connecting from the Old computer to the New computer. The typical reasons for this are:
  • ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" is not running on the Old computer
  • ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" was launched on the New computer before the Old computer is ready
  • When using a USB ""Easy Transfer Cable"", the two computers could be using different drivers
  • Something is preventing ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" from connecting
  1. Following the instructions in the manual, the Old computer must first be running ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" and it must be at the window that states ""Go to the new computer to proceed."" (you cannot click Next any longer) before the connection can be made.

"Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover" did not move my Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail data to the new machine. How do I fix it ? "If the settings already exist on the new machine (ie. Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail have been used previously on the New computer), then ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" will migrate the mail files, but will not change the settings on the New computer. This is to prevent potential loss of information on the New machine. Also, most Outlook information is stored in a single large file with a .pst extension (i.e. ""Outlook.pst""). If this file already exists on the New computer, ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" will NOT overwrite the existing file.

Once the move is complete, if you are not able to access your old e-mail messages via Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail, the simplest method is to import the old information into the existing profile in Outlook, Outlook Express, or Windows Mail. The steps below should help with this, but different versions of Outlook or Outlook Express may have different menus.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In Windows Vista, 7 or 8 replace all references to C:\Documents and Settings\… with C:\Users\…

To start, we need to find out where the file is on the Old Computer. Follow the directions for the version of e-mail application you are using on the Old computer:

Will all of my old programs work on my new PC?"Most of your existing programs should work perfectly after you transfer the associated files and registry settings to the new computer with ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"".

In some cases, however, you may find that the program will not work on the new PC, in which case you will need to reinstall the program from the original disks or contact the program manufacturer for assistance in getting it to work on the new computer.

Here are some circumstances under which a program may not migrate successfully:
  1. Core Windows applications, services, data. ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"" may not migrate information/settings from applications provided by Windows itself (ActiveDirectory, IIS,etc.).
  2. The program needs updated drivers. When you are migrating a program into a newer operating system, that program may now require a new driver in order to work within that system or with the different hardware on the new computer. You will need to reinstall the program on the new PC manually, at which time the new driver information should be detected normally.
  3. The drivers associated with the program can't be transferred. Some system utilities (for example certain anti-virus programs) may need to be re-installed after the migration because system drivers used by the program cannot be transferred.
  4. The program is copyright protected. Some software programs are copyright protected in such a way that the program verifies at startup that it is running on the same computer on which it was initially installed. When such programs are copied to a new computer, they will refuse to run until they are re-installed manually or re-activated on the new computer.
    Note : This rule also applies to certain files containing DRM (Digital Rights Management) information. These types of files can include music and multimedia files such as movies.
  5. The program is incompatible with the new operating system. If you are upgrading from one operating system to another, each program that is copied to the new computer must be compatible with the new operating system. Some older DOS and Windows programs, for instance, are not compatible with Windows XP. These programs will not run on a Windows XP system whether they are installed from scratch or copied over with a migration application such as ""Transfer MyPC v8 with Application Mover"".
  6. The program contains non-transferable system settings. System utilites such as anti-virus or anti-spyware programs, and some other applications that install system services on the PC may contain system settings that cannot be transferred with migration software. These programs will need to be manually reinstalled.
  7. The program contains a hardware fingerprint. Some programs are dependent on a specific piece of hardware in your PC. These programs will not work unless the same piece of hardware is installed on the new PC. In such case, you must install the hardware in the new system and then manually reinstall the program.
