HT4889 I am having issues connecting my G5 desktop to my new Mac OS X 10.7.4.

I have tried using the migration assistant. It will not go beyond my selecting a migration method - From another Mac. Nor am I able to use the system preferences file sharing options outlined on apple support. I am not permitted to select the internet sharing as instructed in step 3 (in issues with migration section)... so cannot proceed from there. Using the target option to transfer files isn't working either. Help!

See Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. Then, consider wiping the new Mac, reinstalling via the Recovery HD, and migrating on first boot using the Setup Assistant. Alternatively, contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane and let them deal with it. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. IIRC, this also applies to newly purchased machines

Issues connecting to Iomega StorCenter network harddrive with Mac OS 10.4.x

I am having difficulties connecting to an Iomega StorCenter harddrive under Mac OS X 10.4.10:
The drive is visible within the network but whenever I click the "Connect..."-button the mouse pointer changes to the spinning beach ball and I have to restart the Finder to continue working.
Those Iomega StorCenter drives use Windows shares, so Mac OS X tries to connect with Samba i presume. Under Mac OS 10.3.x all works well, I can establish a connection and moves files to and from the shares but whenever I try to connect from Mac OS X 10.4.x the computer hangs as described above.
I have checked the workgroup settings and noticed that Mac and harddrive are not in the same workgroup. However this should not be a problem as you can connect under Mac OS X 10.3.x and while connecting, you can enter the workgroup of the target drive or server in question.
Iomega has come up with a solution which you can find here:
https://iomega-na-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/iomegana_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=18423&pcreated=1142005136
I want to find a more convenient way, though – a solution that is acceptable for people who are not used to command line interfaces.
Any ideas?
What is the cause for the connection problem anyway?
It seems that many are having issues regarding Mac OS X 10.4.x and Samba...

This problem only appeared after 10.4 was installed, so it's not really a quark problem. I have 1 10.3.9 Mac on the network and it does not have any of these problems.
This problem, I belive, was supposed to be fixed in 10.4.7 but it's made no difference, using SMB or AFP doesn't seem to resolve the issue either.
Permissions are locked down on the network here so I cannot give the Everyone group modify rights.

I am having issues with my web module on Lightroom 4 (Mac OS 10.9.5). "an unknown error occurred" while trying to upload to my FTP (no changes in my FTP). Bandaid fix was to export to local folder and upload via Filezilla. However, now that is no longer working and although upload completes, the URL takes you to a "Forbidden - do not have permission to read this file" page. Lightroom is changing the permissions of each file to 000 instead of 644 for index files and 755 for all others. How can I change the permissions settings in Lightroom?

I need help connecting my old pc to my new mac book pro.

I cannot connect my old pc to my new mac book pro. Can anyone help me through this process. Thx.

OK. Starting with iTunes: Macworld - How to transfer iTunes libraries between PC and Mac.
Get yourself an external hard drive and format it using NTFS on your PC. OS X can read from an NTFS formatted drive. Copy your photos and documents to this drive. Use the drive to transfer you iTunes data via the method outlined in the above linked article. This will prove easier and faster than using a network.

10.9.2 machines having issues connecting to open directory

So i've set up a new mac mini with 10.9.2 and the most recent Server App. I managed to bind a 10.8.5 macbook air 11" and have had no issues, but when I started testing on the new machines (brand new iMac 27") with 10.9.2 im having issues, tested on my machine running 10.9.2 and another 10.8.5 machine to replicate, only the 10.9 machines are having issues. This is what im seeing in the console when i try to log in (names changed for security)
4/16/14 7:29:08.266 PM SecurityAgent[1568]: User info context values set for new.user
4/16/14 7:29:08.337 PM opendirectoryd[22]: GSSAPI Error: Miscellaneous failure (see text (Server (krbtgt/[email protected]) unknown (negative cache))
4/16/14 7:29:08.338 PM authorizationhost[1622]: Failed to authenticate user <new.user> (error: 9).
ive done a permissons check, this mac mini is only running profile manager and open directory, no other services...
Please Help!

Many, if not most, Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
2. You must have a working DNS service, and the master's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. On the Accessing your Server sheet, change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
3. The primary DNS server used by the master must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases.
6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
7. Reboot the master and the clients.
8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
9. Export all OD users, delete them, turn off OD, turn it back on, and import. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.

ARD 3.6 Admin on 10.8 having issues connecting to 10.6 machine.

basically i have no issues connecting to any of the 10.7 machines in the office (all have 3.6 client installed now).
have no issues connecting to 10.7 machines that have dual monitors (most).
no issues with the few 10.4 and 10.5 machines i still have. nor any of the Xserves on 10.6 nor one single-screen 10.6 desktop i have.
BUT... there is *1* 10.6 machine that i can not connect to. the only main difference between it and other 10.6 machines is that it has dual monitors.
when it connects i only can see the external monitor showing up. then just pure black on the primary laptop screen. if i switch views to show one or the other... stays the same. a black screen on the main laptop display. if i switch to the black screen one and turn off 'scaling' i can only see the bottom half of the screen... but placed in the upper half of the viewer (with black beneath it). i can interact with it... but only with the things i can see on the bottom of the screen.
if i swap which is the "main" screen on the client in Displays (dragging title bar to other screen) ... there is no change. i can only see the external.
on a few of the 10.7 machines with dual monitors i *did* see a similar problem after installing 3.6 client. but after a restart they have been perfectly fine. only happened on a few machines though. not all.
so i restarted that dual-monitor 10.6 machine (it leaves the office frequently lately) and there was no change. turned Remote Management off / on. no change. resintalled the 3.5.3 ARD Client (no 3.6 on 10.6) ... no change.
the only change i did see... was that my ARD admin no longer can connect to it at all now (!!!). never times out either. just "Connecting" forever. however with direct client-style Screen Sharing i could connect. and there was no change.
the client machine itself is a Late 2009 MacBook (rubber bottom style). 2.26 C2D with 4GB RAM.
anyone else seen anything similar with 10.6 machines with dual-monitors connecting from a ARD 3.6 Admin on 10.8?
the machine itself can't be upgraded beyond 10.6 for the time-being (it needs a couple PPC apps with no replacements that are Intel). so that currently isn't an option.

I have similar issues.
10.7.4 running ARD 3.6. Connecting to laptops running 10.6.... "when it connects i only can see the external monitor showing up. then just pure black on the primary laptop screen."
Trying the same thing from ARD 3.5.2 running on a 10.6.8..... same problem.
Trying the same things from ARD 3.4 running on 10.5.8.... works perfectly well. Can switch between dual or either views......

I'm SUDDENLY having issues connecting to my home router, any one else

I was connecting fine until today. Had some intermittent issues connecting before, but not it just remains not connected. Have reset network, toogled wifi switch etc., Nothings working...o' yeah, restored it too.

I have this all new ipad4 and recently it is having issues connecting to wifi and logging into mails

I'm experiencing troubles with my ipad connecting to wifi. It would detect even right passwords as wrong where in it would connect to open networks without any troubles. This thing is also happening with my mail login. I can't login into my other mail accounts other than icloud as it would detect password entered as wrong. I'm so sure that I typed the password right and there are issues with the keyboard either. I've always checked caps lock and language I'm using are appropriate and there are absolutely no flaws when I'm typing passwords. Please someone help me rectify this and also share it here if you're experiencing the same problem.
P.S. I've gone so far that even resetting didn't work.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Having issues connecting to folders - with a twist!

Hi there
Im new to the world of macs, and quite frankly loving it so far, however i have a small problem which i would love some hlep with please.
anyway, my problem i see is well documented on a lot of forums and websites, but ive yet to find a solution in the past couple of hours that works for me, so i thought id come ask the people that know best.
Ok so i have my xp machine, which i want to connect to my mac, nothing odd there i hear you say, well, ive gone through the usual steps, tried to map network drive to \\192.168.0.103\grahammasters <-- my "short" name on the mac lol
and not a thing, well thats not true, i get an error message about not finding it, funny thing is if i go to view network computers i see it, so i click it and it says something about not being accessable, and the path could not be found
So where is this different from everyone else then?
well, i go to the other room, sit down, pick up my mac keyboard, click "network" and voilla, i can access the stuff from my pc no problem.
So im stumped, sorry if im just being a complete noob, but i just cant crack this.
Information that may be useful:
- both PC and mac are on the same workgroup
- windows file sharing is enabled on the mac and an account selected
- tried turning firewall off on pc in case that made a difference, but it may be my wireless routers firewall?
- when using personal web site thing, i can connect to the original webpage on the mac from the xp machine.
As far as i can see everything "should" be ok, so any light shed on this would be sweet.
Cheers in advance

Can I use my new Mac Mini with Leopard and thunderbolt in connection with my new iMac as a display ?

If it's a 27" iMac. I don't believe Target Display Mode is supported on the 21" model. But not with a Mac Mini running Leopard. It would need to be running Lion.

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

If you are having issues connecting to wifi with your Ipad, READ THIS

My son recently could not connect to the home wifi. After almost a year of having no issues, it came on overnight sort-of-speaking. I spent over three hours doing all the resets and tried anything that was talked about online. This could be your issue too. WHEN YOU SET UP YOUR ROUTER, IT WILL HAVE A PASSCODE/PASSWORD/PASSPHRASE (different routers may call it differently), this is usually a series of letters and numbers. YOU WILL ALSO SET UP A PASSWORD TO ACCESS YOUR HOME NETWORK FROM ANY OF YOUR DEVICES. THE TWO ARE VERY DIFFERENT, THE PASSWORD THAT THE IPAD WANTS IS NOT THE NETWORK PASSWORD, IT IS THE PASSWORD OF THE ROUTER.
This makes no sense to me, but it worded. I have a CISCO router and Mercury Net for an Internet provider. As I was working on getting my issue solved, I ran across a post that said this same thing about a different router and provider, so I thought why not try it, nothing to lose. IF IT WORKED FOR TWO DIFFERENT ROUTERS AND PROVIDERS, THIS COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM AS WELL.
To start with, I did not know the passphrase to my roouter. I reset the router to factory default and followed a few steps for security and other things. Along the reset, there was a page that showed the passphrase. If you do not have your router passphrase, this may be your best bet. I am by no means a professional when it comes to computers, but I am not affraid to try a few things when needed. This was not too hard and it will not be for you either.
Good Luck
If you need more information, let me know, I will try to help.
Thanks for reading

I'm glad you had luck with this. I have the same issue, and i've replaced the droid turbo 4 times. I've tried it on 4 or 5 different wifi networks and it doesn't give me any type of speed at all.
