AppleMobileDevice.kext problems after Migration

Hello,
maybe some of you could help me with this problem...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2430599&tstart=0
Thanks in advance!

Are you sure you are migrating to a G5, and not an Intel Mac? They are NOT the same thing. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell the processor on the Mac. If it is Intel, you went about the wrong process for migration, and should use this one after backing up* your data and erase and installign the new Mac's software:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
G5s are technically not new, they are just newer than G4s. The last G5 was sold new pre-August 7, 2006.

Serious problem after migration assistant - any ideas?

Hi folks-
I bought an iMac this weekend and for various reasons did not configure with data from my MacBook Pro when I first turned it on, but waited until two nights ago to use Migration Assistant to transfer all but users.
I updates both machines fully with Software Update first. MigAsst went fine until I hit the begin option and after a few minutes the iMac told me there was a problem with my MacBook Pro (MBP). I quit MigAsst on the iMac but even after an hour I couldn't escape it or quit the MBP, so shut down using the power button.
When I restarted, I had a black screen with lighted keyboard and startup chime. I hard-restarted, same thing happened. Third time, I got the grey apple window with no apple for about ten minutes, then a light blue screen with the spinning spokes (not the rainbow) and a slightly darker window with no spokes. The two blue windows alternated back and forth for maybe 8-10 seconds each endlessly until I restarted.
Since I live about 4 hours from the nearest Apple store and tech support was already closed for the evening, I restarted from the Snow Leopard disk and repaired permissions (there were many repairs) and repaired the disk (was told it was fine). I restarted and got the grey-blue-blue cycle again.
I reinstalled the OS from the Snow Leopard disk and everything worked fine - I ran as many tests as I know how to, even perturbed the casing slightly wondering if it was a loose video card wire or something. Nothing. It all worked fine for several hours until after the second Software Update (which as I recall was only Java and iTunes), and now all I get is the black screen again. Also, now the green light on the power cable is not glowing even though the battery reads as fully charged and the keyboard and startup chime are all hunky dory.
I'd think it was a video card issue, but there are too many incongruous symptoms. If I could at least start up from the OS disk again I could get my data off... Any ideas, diagnoses or suggestions would be much appreciated.
With gratitude and blessings.

The problem is described in a different post as well, and it is considered to be answered. However, the answers are not very satisfactory because they are complicated.
The underlying problem is that MacOS is looking for a FileVault user, while after migration the user files are actually not within a FileVault bundle.
I believe that there must be a setting to change the login properties for the user to not look for a FileVault user, but for a plain, non-encrypted user. So please, somebody from Apple answer this questions!
Command line very welcome, because I only have a command line user right now. And oh, my MBA didn't ship with a boot DVD so I don't even have the chance to reinstall my system easily. Also, getting my data out of the FileVault on my current machine, transfering everything again (almost 250 GB) and then putting them back into FileVault seems a bit too much effort for what appears to be a simple bit set somewhere…

Do you have the problem with all JSP pages, or only a few of them ?
Does it happen in the Embedded OC4J only ?
Could you try to deploy your application in the Standalone OC4J and test it from there ?
I had a similar issue where the Embedded OC4J was unnable to run big JSP pages.
There was no problem with the Standalone OC4J.
Hope this helps,
Didier.

BC4J problems after migrating JDeveloper 9.0.3 - 9.0.4

Hi!
We have application based on BC4J+struts framework. After migrating JDeveloper from 9.0.3 to 9.0.4 we are getting following errors:
JBO-27021: AttributeLoadException
JBO-27022: AttributeLoadException - it seems to be a problem between datatype mapping but on 9.0.3 application worked fine
next we get folowing error when we are inserting a row into the ViewObject. This error does not appear by first inserting but by some of the subsequent calls of insertRow.

Major permissions problems after migrating to new iMac

Hi, I am very new to this and need some help. Have been using a MacBook pro for the past year to synch iPods/iPads that are used within our school. Purchased an iMac and proceeded to migrate users/files etc. After migrating I have had major problems with iTunes. My iTunes library is visible but I cannot synch any devices, have tried verifying permissions and fix permissions but to no avail. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Did you instal the program again, or try to migrate it from the old system (not a good idea)? I would run the installer again and it should correct the problem -- the Proximity dictionary for English (and probably others) is apparently not installed correctly.

Problems after migration from CS5 to 5.5 with Blackmagic Card

Hello forum,
we have an problem after an optimal migration from cs 5 to 5.5 projects.
different: there is an bm hd extreme 3d card in the system.
We are aware of the issue that there has to switch to BM player an the Timleinl settings to BM
But there is still a problem: we are not able to view the ingested material in the source viewer,
because there is another overlay - form the background or sometheing else - see attached photo.
We add new drivers for graphics/BM and patches for CS 5.5
None of these problems by creating new projects.
Also the applications also hangs after we try to close,
many thanks for your answers - Sven.

No reason to ask the same question twice. Just be aware that there are German forums as well.
Your problem is probably in the BM drivers.

2 Problems after migration Project Server 2007 to 2010

Hi Everyone!!
I have 2 issues after migrate MS Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010, in fact i had a lot issues, but i can solve almost all, so after solve all issues, just is pendings 2 issues very rare:
Backgrounds:
Migrated from: Windows Server 2008R2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 - Proejct Server 2007 with WSS 3.0 - All updates are up to date (CU is up to date) and all platform is ok
To: Windows Server 2008R2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 - Project Server 2010 SP2 - SharePoint Server 2010 SP2 - All updates are up to date (CU is up to date) and all platform is ok
3 Servers in the Farm, ----> 1WFE-1WAPP-1DB
Issues:
In the Project Center, some migrate Project don't show the icon with image about project documents, risk and issues although that project effectively have documents , risk and issues
In "Server Settings" , in section "Operational Policies" in "Project Sites" almost all projects don't show the URL with Project Site
For the issues 1 and 2, i tried some things:
Re publish all projects (approx 700 projects) with a script via PowerShell available in technet
Run the Wizard Again
Rebuild Solution
Restart the all Servers in the Farm
Restart Services ----> IIS - Project EventService - ProjectQueue - SharePoint Timer
and i can't solve it yet!!!
Please Any Ideas?

Have you restored content DB successfully?
for point 2 have you performed:
have you synchronized project site under server setting --> operational policies --> Bulk Update Project
Sites
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/10/08/projectserver-2010-bulk-update-project-site-issue-ps2010-msproject-sp2010-sharepoint/
after doing this publish all the project which are having issue it may solve your 1st issue.
You can check if below condition is applies to you (PWA 2007)
You may need to use the WSS site re-linker tool –
now built in to Server Settings in PWA as “Bulk Update Project Sites”. If you have changed URL die to a different port then re-linking should get your sites in order. In upgrade scenarios the “Previous Site Path” Web application might show as a GUID
in the drop down – however it still works and will re-link the sites.

Ofgtel65.pll , CGDV$REF_CODES.SOFT_VAL problem after migrating to 10g

Hi,
We have migrated from Oracle 9i to 10g and
In 'OAS904' , i have used CGDV$REF_CODES.SOFT_VAL to populate a field with a meaning via a dynamic list in one of the FORM and if I query the form by giving a value and press F12,all fields are populating , its working fine but the same thing is not working after migrating the FORMS application to 'OAS10.1.2'. If I query the form by giving a value and press F12,its showing error like "FRM:40201 Field must be entered" for that particular field because that field is not populated and also a required field in the form.
Actually , this form is generated by designer.If i open the form using forms builder, i can see the auto generated code like 'POST-QUERY', in that CGDV$REF_CODES.SOFT_VAL is used to retrieve the meaning.
Note : ofgtel65.pll points to QMS_REF_CODES instead of CG_REF_CODES.
Am using headstart6.5.4.0 .
The generated form having post_query with the following code
CGDV$REF_CODES.SOFT_VAL(P_VALUE=>curr_value, P_MEANING=>l_meaning, P_DOMAIN=>l_domain, P_VAL_CODE=>TRUE);
But in the ofgtel65.pll ,
the soft_val method will have a query that refers to QMS_REF_CODES .But my meanings are present in CG_REF_CODES.
Any help would be of great help. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tharini.

Is this a Designer generated Form ? You may want to ask the question on that Forum too.

Strange Calendar sync problem after migrating to iOS5

Hello all,
I posted my problem as an "me too" reply to somebody else's thread but think it got a bit lost there.
Since I can't solve this problem I decided to make a new thread.
The problem:
After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5 I have a strange calendar syncing issue such that existing entries from one calendar (I've got two, see below) are duplicated on the other .... but only on the iPhone, not on the calendar server (Lotus Notes) itself!
As I couldn't find a normal solution to this problem (already removed the complete Lotus Notes traveler account from my iPhone and reinstalled it again, to no use: the duplicates pop up again) I finally decided to start removing the duplicate entries on my phone. To my surprise however they popup again!!!!!
I added a new entry to the original calender to see whether that one would popup in the other as well but this didn't happen.
It looks to me it must be something wrong on my iPhone as the "duplicates" do not show up in the calender database on the server (using Lotus Notes PC client) nor its replicas.
The configuration:
I sync with two calendars on my iPhone:
- gmail calendar for my private
- lotus notes server (traveler exchange) for my work.
The gmail calender also syncs with my desktop client (outlook 2010) via a small application "gSyncit".
This all worked like a charm on iOS4.
No matter where I modified, deleted or added entries (not only calendar, also contacts and mail) it all stayed perfectly in sync!
Does anybody out here noticed the same and/or has a solution to this?
BTW: I haven't activated iCloud for the calendar/mail/contacts (yet) ...

OK,
I found out what was wrong myself.
In the end it turned out that it had nothing to do with the iOS5 upgrade itself.
In case somebody else stumbles accross this very same problem, here's what was going on:
- Within the latest lotus notes client (on PC) the user has the possibility to display (read-only) external calendar contents (e.g. google's calendar).
- When setting this up you need to supply your external calendar's login/password information and next to that
- also have the possibility to select "View this calendar when offline or on a mobile device"
It was this setting (which I probably accidentally enabled) causing the "issue". Deselecting this option made my duplicate entries disappear on my phone.

CORBA problem after migration to JDK 1.5.0_05

Hi,
I faced some errors with CORBA, after performing migration from JDK 1.4.1 to JDK 1.5.0_02
on Solaris 8 2/02 (SPARC version).
I've spend few days on digging in java.sun.com bug database and google archive,
but haven't found similar case.
The problem occurs in a web application launched on Tomcat 5.5.7, if JDK 1.5.0_02 is used and trying to connect with CORBA server.
If using JDK 1.4.1 the CORBA stuff works fine.
I isolated the problem code and found out, that Tomcat
can not cause the error, because i receive the same error while invoking test class from command line.
I use IOR file for obtaining the object reference and default JDK Orb.
The stacktrace(see below) goes through new package in JDK 1.5 com.sun.corba.se.impl.* and java.lang.Class which was
rewriten in JDK 1.5 in order to use generics. Is it possible that the bug lies somewhere in this classes?
I've already spent few days on searching cause of the bug, and found no clues.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone have a workaround?
Have you seen some similiar behavior associated with migration to JDK 1.5.0 ?
I'm running out of ideas, on debugging this stuff, any help or suggestion could be helpful.
Thanks In Advance, Kuba

Problem after migration from time machine

I recently changed the hard disk in my macbook to a bigger one,
and then used migration assistant and my time machine backup to restore the system.
Everything seems to work just fine except aperture.
about 90% of my projects do not show any thumbnails, just outlined gray boxes with a file name
when I click on them I get to see the photo in question but when I click "show master" aperture says "master image offline" (and does not show the photo anymore)
my Library is referenced and the masters are located on the computers hard disk itself (not on an external one) and they are all there !
(i.e. they were perfectly transfered from time machine)
when I first opened aperture after the migration I got a message that the library was corrupted, I clicked repair and this produced a recovered folder
with a recovered project which as far as I can see is empty ?
I tried the 3 trouble shooting tools (repair permissions, repair database and rebuild database) none of which changed anything
I was going to try to restore the library file from time machine but now time machine says that I do not have permission to acces the pictures folder !?
(at least not on any backup older than the last one, which was done after the system was migrated)
I am starting to get stuck here, I found several references online to the same problem but no real solution.
Any ideas?

OK, so I did a clean install of snow leopard from the installation DVD and then used setup assistant to restore from time machine.
Since time machine had already made backups after I migrated for the first time it basically restored the system
to its previous state (with aperture not working properly), it did however restore the admin account which I had already deleted.
This allowed me to access my older time machine backups.
When I tried to restore the aperture library file (after first deleting the current one and emptying the trash)
I got a window saying copying 0kb from 10,68GB that just hung there
after checking my user account I found an aperture library file of about 6GB, I deleted this and did the restore again and let the window saying copying 0kb of 10,68GB run for half an hour, I then found an aperture library file in my account of 11GB. I opened aperture and guess what? exactly the same as before! no thumbnails and no access to masters except for about 10 projects (in fact every time I try this aperture makes previews for exactly 608 photos !?
I might try to copy the libary file from the old hard disk if I find something to mount it, but I am starting tho think that i will just have to reimport the entire library, and forget about the versions and be thankfull that I at least saved the masters :-(

Problems after migration

Hi,
- We have migrate from Database 8.1.7 to 10g (10.2.0.1.0).
- We are still using forms6i and report6i.
We have some serious problems with the reports.
The first time we see the problem was an "REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL" when calling a report from a form.
After investigating, we realize the follwing :
- On machine 1 : windows 2000, report builder Report Builder 6.0.8.8.3, open report builder, Connect to the 10g database, open a report, all the program unit gives : ORA-0600 internal error code 17069
- On machine 2 : windows xp, report builder Report Builder 6.0.8.8.3, open report builder, Connect to the 10g database, open the same report, all is compiling succesfully !
My client is having the same errors from all his machines.
I do not know if the problem is from the OS (I do not think).
I see on metalink for ORA-0600 but this error is very very general !
Any help please ?

Therefore you should register particularly the owner the scheme in your code. If it is the table that... scheme_name.table_name : for example : sys.my_table...If it is function that sys.my_function

Icon problems after migration.

So, I got my new macbook yesterday and connected it to my old one to bring over all my stuff. It seemed to work fine, except that all the icons were gone. The folders now just looked like folders and all the applications had reverted to their original icons. When I looked in the folders, there was an icon of a blank sheet of paper that said "icon". I assume that was the old icon I had assigned to that folder that was no longer readable by the computer for some reason. I deleted those and was able to put my customized icons back on the folders.
BUT. The applications will not allow me to customize their icons. It's driving me INSANE. I had my desktop set up just the way I wanted it (yeah, a little OCD, but what can you do) and now it doesn't look right and I can't seem to fix it.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Why are all the applications seemingly locked now and not customizable?
HELP!

Are you sure you are migrating to a G5, and not an Intel Mac? They are NOT the same thing. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell the processor on the Mac. If it is Intel, you went about the wrong process for migration, and should use this one after backing up* your data and erase and installign the new Mac's software:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350
G5s are technically not new, they are just newer than G4s. The last G5 was sold new pre-August 7, 2006.

Permission Problems after Migration

I have been overcoming numerous problems following a FireWire migration of files from a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 to a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6.2. Nothing seemed to make the transfer seamlessly, but I have managed, after great effort and help from this community, to get the following migrated "correctly" (version changes in parentheses):
Address Book groups and cards (4.0.6 -> 5.0.1)
iCal calendars (2.0.5 -> 4.0.1)
Safari bookmarks (4.0.4 -> 4.0.3!)
Mail local folders (2.1.3 -> 4.2)
iTunes music (9.0.3 -> 9.0.3)
iPhoto pix (5.0.4 -> 8.1.1) - but "rolls" to "events" still needs work
The current problem is that a few of my files (so far, all password-protected Excel files) are Read-Only on my new machine. Not knowing that it might be an issue, I selected a different User Name on the new machine from the one used on the old machine. The machines are connected over the same network, and I have logged onto the old PB from the MBP successfully. Via Get Info, I have changed the permissions of these files from Read Only to Read and Write for Everyone, but I am still unable to save changes to these files. The Owner of these problem files is listed as the old computer's User Name. I doubt this is relevant, but I am also in the middle of changing from Office X to Office for Mac 2008. Using a tip from a MacWorld article of 3/28/08, I added the old User Name as an alias for the new User Name. This did not solve the problem.
I would truly appreciate any tips that would solve this problem quickly. I am extremely disappointed that the migration has proven to be such a painstaking exercise, one which is not yet complete.
Bob

Baltwo, your suggestion solved the problem easily. I gave in and restored the new machine to factory conditions and then migrated over FireWire seamlessly, with everything completely organized as expected. There was never any option to enter a new username; the old username was part of the migration. I no longer have any file permission issues.
I think the problem arose because I did not have a 9 pin FireWire cable when I started and attempted to migrate over the network - an option that was available. That did not work (due to permission problems!), but somehow I must have created a username on the new machine that ended up causing all of the problems.
Thanks again for pointing to the exact solution to my problem.
