HT3231 Migration assistant troubles: some documents could not be transferred

I recently erased my hard drives and reinstalled Mac OS X on my MacBook. I attempted to use Setup Assistant to restore my old user ID with its files, but received the error message:
Errors and Warnings:
- 2013-02-23 22:17:10 -0800 Some documents for [username] could not be transferred
- 2013-02-23 22:17:10 -0800 [username] could not be created
I then continued on through the setup process and created a new user account instead, assuming I could fix the problem later. I then installed the latest combo update via Software Update and attempted to use Migration Assistant to restore my backed up files, but received the same error message.
I need some advice on how else to fix this problem, thank you.

Hmm, let try a new Admin user...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
If you can't do that...
Reset OS X Password Without an OS X CD...
http://theappleblog.com/2008/06/22/reset-os-x-password-without-an-os-x-cd/
Admin Hack...
http://www.hackmac.org/?q=node/4
Starts up like the first time you buy a new Mac, but after filling in all that info again, you should have access to the computer and the other Users & files will still be there... give the new User a different name than an existing one.

Migration Assistant Error Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred?

Hello, world.
A few days ago I replaced my the 97% full 100GB hard drive in my Dad's Core Duo 2.0GHz Macbook Pro with a 500GB but I received an ominous error at the end of the Migration Assistant transfer. Here are the steps I took:
1. Replaced physical drive.
2. Booted up from OS X Snow Leopard disc.
3. Formatted new drive as OS X Journaled using Disk Utility.
4. Installed OS X Snow Leopard on the new drive.
5. When prompted by OS X Installation, I selected transfer data from another volume.
6. Placed the old drive in an enclosure and connected via USB.
7. At this point I let Migration Assistant take over.
It took an hour and a half or more to transfer the data and everything SEEMS fine. However, at the end I received the following error message from Migration Assistant:
Errors and Warnings:
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal_info_block" could not be transferred
I have searched around but I've been unable to find any information on this. In other instances of these warnings, people seemed to be pointing the finger at moving from PowerPC macs to Intel Macs but this was Intel-->Intel.
I did find someone suggest one other thing in another thread:
"My reading of those error messages indicates that there's something wrong with the journaling files on the PB. I suggest that you disable and reenable it on the PB"
However, I do not know how to enable or disable journaling without reformatting the drive from scratch as journaled or non-journaled.
(post found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8675337#8675337)
Question: Should I be worried and does anyone know specifically what this error indicates? Is it possible that my dad's old hard drive was NOT formatted for journaling and MA was looking for these journal related files and unable to find them?
Thank you all in advance for your help,
Nick

What options did you select for Migration Assistant to transfer? For instance, did you select network & computer settings?
"Opt" sounds like the name of a folder, not a file type. On your 13" MacBook, do you have any folder by that name, especially in your home folder?
Also, have you run Disk Utility's *verify disk* check on the MacBook's drive?

Error: "Document could not be saved"

Hi all!
I regularly receive an error, "Document could not be saved", in OS X after a while of usage. It can come after 10 minutes of usage, or after 10 hours of usage. It affects ALL open applications and documents, and doesn't solve with anything but a restart of the entire system. I haven't found any relation to working with any specific application – it seems to happen at random while using any application. And as I said, it affects the entire system and all applications once it happens.
I've also tried this solution (posted elsewhere), but with no luck:
Restart Lion, and Before you hear the chime, hold down Cmd + R, to access Lion Recovery.
Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
The password reset utility window launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account where you’re having issues.
At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button there.
Does anyone know of any other solution to this problem? Or does anyone know the reason for it?
I should also mention that I experienced another problem recently, whereby my computer begun to sometimes (but not always!) show a progression bar at startup. This bar could take between 5-15 minutes to finish. This kept happening for maybe two weeks' time, until finally one day the computer wouldn't startup at all. It would come to show the dark grey Apple logo on the light grey background, and then suddenly shut off before reaching any further. I did a complete wipe out of the hard drive and re-install of the system, and since then haven't experienced the "progression bar"-problem anymore. I read somewhere that this problem could be a sign of harddrive failure or damage, but I still wonder if that is correct. Could the above mentioned "Document could not be saved"-problem also be related to a hard drive damage?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
Regards
Alex

Document could not be printed - no pages selected to print

I am running into this well-known issue with several documents, but unfortunately none of the fixes I have come across have worked. Some background:
-Using Windows 7 Pro
-Happening with both Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat X, clean installs. and happening on multiple computers, with multiple printers, with multiple domain users.
-Have tried repairing both installations, no success.
-Have tried disabling protected view, changing size of the fit, letting printer determine colors, printing in greyscale, changing setting for "view documents in PDF/A mode" to "never."
-Print as image works, but quality is unacceptable.
-It seems to be isolated mainly to Xerox printers, as I have no issues printing to an HP printer. I am trying different models of Xeroxes with no success, however. I have reinstalled printer driver and verified updated driver for all, issue persists. Printer models are Xerox ColorQube 8700X and 9203
-The PDFs are from different sources, so I can't pinpoint it to one website. Documents contain various financial info, so I can't post here. Any help would be appreciated. I'm probably going to have to try a different pdf reader for these, but that is not ideal, since multiple people need to print these and are comfortable using Adobe software.

I was also receiving the message "The Document Could Not be Printed" I am on 10.6.4 with Acrobat 9.4.1. I did not get the second part of the message though "There were not pages selected to print". Anyway, I got mine to work by going to Preferences - Print & Fax. I selected my printer and clicked Options & Supplies. Under the driver tab I changed the "Print Using:" box to Generic PostScript Printer. I'm not sure if this is what you are supposed to do. I'm not an expert but it worked for me so I am going with it.

The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114).

After adding some sticky notes to a PDF in Adobe Reader i went to save it and it comes up with "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)." and will not let me save it. Please can you advise if there is anyway of saving this document with the sicky notes in?

The problem is most likely document corruption. Try to work on a new copy from the original source.

Error message "The document could not be saved. This file is already open" when trying to complete an electronic signature.

Running Adobe Acrobat Professional 10.1.0. I cannot upgrade to newer version because several applications were already tested on this version.
When trying to complete an electronic signature, my users receive the error message ""The document could not be saved. This file is already open". When they close and open the file again to try to sign again they find a corrupted electronic signature. Instead of a clean signature with the box colored in light blue they see their signature with the embedeed message Click Here to Verify & Sign with the box colored in grey.
We turned off antivirus in the Sharefolder where the forms are stored and nothing. We turned off the antivirus on the client and nothing. We stored the files in another server and nothing. One workaround is saving the file in the desktop, signing it, and then back to the Sharefolder. Another is saving the file with a different file name.
I've searched and the only similar thing was caused by the Windows Preview Pane. See Information Transmogrification: Adobe Acrobat saving a file does not work, displays “File may be read-only”. No luck with this one too.
Is definitively an intermittent problem. The users that experience the problem experience it intermittently.
This started to happen when we move our computers to Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Correction on Question:
This is a web application and the users need to be able to load the editable .pdf form from the website, edit it and submit it back to the website from within Internet Explorer.
Users began getting the error message:
'The document could not be saved. This file is already open.'
last Friday after having no problems prior to this. Some users can edit the editable .pdf forms on the website and save the file with the same name to the website. Some get the error mentioned in the subject.
We really need help getting this resolved.

Document "could not be saved"

Hi everyone
Frequent frustrating problem: Often get the error message, "The document ** could not be saved". Usually it is a .mov exported out of FCP for Soundtrack.
Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong?
Very many thanks
Roy

Unfortunately, not too many people seem to use it. It's been a great help here. But it did take some getting used to, that's for sure. But it speeds up mixing and fixing enormously. I actually save days at the end of a major project. It's well worth learning. The main difference is that it's track-based rather than clip based. I put everything that is sound/person/environment related on a single track, or isolated tracks. If I have one speaker/actor in a particular location, they go on their own track. I then apply effects and adjustments to the whole track at once. Keeping elements like that separated means you do large swipes of the project at once, not bit by bit. Then you feed the tracks downstream and combine them for level. And that part is additive. Add in new tracks and the overall level gets louder. That seem obvious, but when you look at the mixer you'll see that the original tracks are fine. It gets louder left to right.
Good luck.

The document could not be saved. The server said: "The operation failed because an unexpected error occurred. (Result code 0×80020005)" Please ensure you have completed all required properties with the correct information and try again.

I am having problems saving documents back to SharePoint when any of the document properties (metadata columns) are set to be "managed metadata". The check-in/save fails with error:
The document could not be saved. The server said:
“The operation failed because an unexpected error occurred. (Result code 0×80020005)”
Please ensure you have completed all required properties with the correct information and try again.
I have seen similar threads that suggest this is a known issue with this version of Acrobat but I would like conformation from Adobe that this is a known issue and whether it is fixed in a newer version?
Adobe Acrobat version 10.1.13
SharePoint 2010

Hi quodd,,
We are sorry for the issue being faced by you. I need some information from you so that I take further steps:
1. Which Adobe product are you using Acrobat or Adobe reader- what is the complete version?
2. How are you opening and saving the PDF, the exact workflow?
Are you doing it from within Adobe Reader/Acrobat application or opening it from browser, doing changes and saving it using browser itself.
3. Can you try to save a PDF to library with Custom template and managed metadata columns using browser directly.
4. Please verify that columns name do not contain spaces or some other special characters.
Can you try to save PDF to library with Custom template and just a single managed metadata column with a simple name
Thanks,

The document could not be saved error when Saving to a SharePoint Document Library

I am having an error when opening and commenting on Adobe PDF's that are stored in SharePoint 2010. When I attempt to save a PDF I have commented on I get the following error:
The Document could not be saved. The server said:
"The operation failed because an unexpected error occurred. (Result code: 0x80020005)"
This seems to happen in a Document Library that is based on a custom template with Managed Metadata columns, when we remove the columns it seems to work and when we create a library with a standard document library template and manually add the manage metadata columns it also works fine.
We would make this change to all document libraries where this issue occurs however this template is applied to 100's of libraries with thousands of documents stored in them. Is there anything we can look at to attempt to resolve this issue?
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. documents seem to work fine in these libraries.

The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved

Hi guys,
I removed my bootcamp partition to clear up some temp space and expanded the Mac OS partition up to the fullest size again using Boot Camp Assistant.
The first thing I noticed was that when I restart to computer gets stuck on an ugly BIOS looking screen with a message something along the lines of "no bootable partitions could be found", Easy way round is to hold down the ALT key which brings up a sole Mac OS button to boot from.
Now I try and make a little partition again using the assistant and it won't let me because it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved". It then advises to back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended volume before restoring again.
Is there anyway to fix this lot without going through doing this.
Will Boot Camp Restore re-instate the OS as well as my user files?

I had a similar problem when I undid my boot camp partition to make it larger. I tried to make it 50 GB which gave me the same error about the files not being able to be moved. I didn't get the "no bootable partitions" error. I changed the size of the partition to 47 GB and ran the boot camp assistant. It stopped while partitioning and I have to force quit to stop it. I restarted the assistant and made the partition a little larger to 48 GB and it partitioned finally. My suggestion is to ry adjusting the size of the partition and see if that allows you to make the partition at least. For you other problem, I'm not sure... From what I gathered from other forums, the drive might be fragmented which causes the partition error. There is no free defragment tool for mac (dunno why) but they exist.

Parked document could not be posted 00 S 349 BSEG-BEWAR

Hello Friends ,
Users have parked Journal entries which has vendor , customer and GL line items .
the documents were getting posted through workflow till sometime back .
suddenly , we have started to get the error message as " Parked document could not be posted 00 S 349 BSEG-BEWAR "
the BSEG-BEWAR field is missing in the SAPMF0A screen while trying to post.
Could you please guide me what could be the reason .
I did search before posting this question , but not able to find any relavent ones.
I am aware of the function configuration using OB41, but not sure if the issue is related to the same.
Please assist.
thanks
Raghu V

Hi,
BEWAR field is Transaction type field. Check whether Transaction type is missing in your document.
The issue is not related to OB41.

The document could not be printed...

I have users that seem to encounter the following errors on a regular basis. No, it does not occur on every multipage PDF file, however it happens frequently. When attempting to print multi-page documents - we receive the following errors:
The document could not be printed
Followed by:
There were no pages selected to print
My question is;
How do I resolve it?
Is there any suggestions as to what could be creating this issue?
I have scanned through the Support forum and have not found any variable suggestion(s) that will remedy my problem. Creating another PDF, printing to PDF or printing to XPS only results in the error message. I have asked users to create a new PDF from the source. This is not a guaranty that the problem is resolved and it's not long before the issue is encountered again.

I just wanted to share my finding to the issue I posted the other day...in case this information could help others:
My office upgraded to Acrobat XI a few months ago and my original post has been a common problem encountered by most of my users. Often with great frequency. I spent hours researching this issue yesterday in the hopes of finding an answer for my irritated users.
Unfortunately, on this forum (or any other) I could not find any information that was useful. I read extensively about Acrobat Distiller and even tested many different configurations. Some of the suggestions recommended that I just recreate the PDF from the original source, something wrong with my printer, etc. Regarding recreating the PDF, in many scenarios our users are the recipients of the PDF's and not the original author. Therefore, recreating the document is not an option. It is also hard to blame the printer when every other document will print fine, even most PDF's from the Reader!
Yes, I chatted with Support which spent forty five minutes verifying that we owned the product and than never had an answer only to tell me that I can purchase a support plan.
Finally, I had to try other PDF applications and it WORKED! The best of the group was NitroPDF. I manage to print documents that I re-open in Acrobat and still have the problem. Not a good solution to have to support to applications...I think I am going to have to drop one of them….

The document could not be saved. This file is already open.

This problem recently developed.with several versions of Acrobat Reader 9.x installed. The full version of Acrobat is not installed.
Users used to be able to open an editable .pdf file in IE, edit it and save it. Some users can no longer do this. The are getting
the error message "The document could not be savedl. This file is already open. Users who are able to save from within a browser, are actually
using Acrobat Reader, which opens when opening the .pdf file from within the browser. Everyone can open Acrobat Reader V 9.x, edit an editable .pdf file and save it. It is just when the .pdf file is opened from a browser application, and the reader is not also launched. Help! This just started happening.
Thanks,
Sandy

Acrobat X Pro shows "The document could not be printed" error

I used Acrobat X Pro to open an PDF file and then re-print it to another PDF by Adobe PDF printer. It shown a dialog with "The document could not be printed" message.
Why do some PDF files occur this error ? How to fix this problem ? Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting the problem.
It seems you are unable to print any pdf from Acrobat. You mentioned that you are able to print the same PDFs from iphone and other devices.
Are you able to print from any other application(e.g. word, notepad) from the same machine where you are seeing the issue. It looks to me that your machine is not able to establish contact with the printer but your other devices are able to.
Please confirm.
Thanks,
Atul
