Transferred one Macbook to another... Password not working!?

I just transferred a nicely set up mac pro to a mac pro of the same generation.  I now have two perfectly fresh installs of OSX with only the applications I need.
However...
I just tried to log into the computer that received the transferred data and it's asking me for a password.  I put in the old password for this computer: no access.  I put in the password from the computer I used to transfer the data.  Again, no access. 
What the **** is going on here?
Why would apple make up a new password... I was never prompted for one whatsoever, and I have no idea where they could have gotten the information that they used for this one. 
This is annoying.  Please help me!

  • Passing a Value from one page to Another is not working

    Hi friends,
    I have a table called country in which i build a Form in page1 with a report in page2 based on the table. So iif i clicked the edit icon in the page 2 report means then it can fetch the corresponding record in the page 1 form as well(so that i can update the record in the form).
    My scenario is i have one more search page  in page 3 which has one page item like Country_id(text item) with a Region button "Find".
    If i typed any country id in the text item and pressed Find, means then it should redirect to the form page 1 inorder to fetch those correponding country id details that i entered in the search page page 3.
    For that i followed the below steps like in the search page 3
    created a Find button in the page 3 with below options
    Button Style: Template Based Button
    Button Template: Button
    Button Type: Normal
    Action: Submit Page
    Button Style: Template Based ButtonThen under the after Processing i created a branch condition:
    On submit: After processing(After Computation, Validation and Processing)
    Target Type: page in this Appliction
    page           : 1
    Set these items P1_COUNTRY_ID
    with these values: &P3_COUNTRY_ID.
    (when button Find is pressed)
    But the id is not passing to the page 1 from the page 3(search region) that i entered inorder to query my form in page 1 according to the value that i entered in  search region in page3
    kindly help me friends with this.. Hope u understand my scenario..
    Brgds,
    Mini

    Hi,
    Source setting for that form page item P1_COUNTRY is
    Source Used:"Only when current value in the session state is null"
    Source Type: Static Assignment.Since i build this form along with report.
    Is im missing something.
    Regards,

  • How do I transfer some folders of photo from one macbook to another? I do not want the complete library right now

    How do I transfer some photos from an external harddrive (with backup data from one macbook) to another macbook? Ideally, I'd also like to transfer albums as well that photos are linked to.  I need to do this because my macbook is broken and I need to work on photos for the holidays.  I'm not interested in transferring the full library necessarily at this time..but if that is the easiest thing to do let me know.  There are already some photos in the "new" computer's iphoto. 

    Thank you very much Terence for your input.  I successfully transferred the library and attempted to open it on my "new" mac.  However, unfortunately, I discovered the OS and iphoto have not been updated for some time so it couldn't open..argh. 
    My photos were in a 9.4.3 version of iPhoto, so it looks like to get that on this new computer I have to upgrade to snow leopard and then to Lion (not wanting to go all the way up in OS necessarily if it will slow my computer down more).  However, is there a way to open a version 9.4.3 library on an iPhoto app from snow leopard? 

  • Wifi password not working on MacBook Pro

    Wifi password not working
    I got a MacBook Pro today. The previous owner had Apple wipe it clean for the new owner, me. When I first tried putting my wifi password in, I wasn't remembering exactly what it was, so I tried many different possibilities. Since then, I found my password in my office. I put it in, when it asked for it. But, it's not taking it. It just says searching for networks. And, this is after I identified the correct network. So, I am wondering if perhaps after a number of "tries" does it not accept ANY further attempts ? You know like Banking passwords....you get locked out. I'm wondering if I'm locked out? 

    No, not like a bank timeout.
    Open keychain in your Utilities Folder and look for old router password, or delete wrong passwords.
    You can always reset your router password to something new that you can remember.

  • How do i transfer iTunes  from one Macbook to another?

    Hello.
    How can I transfer my itunes account from one Macbook to another.  They are not in the same household for sharing etc.
    Please advise.

    Are you trying to transfer the content or just the user?  Transferring the user is pretty easy, transferring the content is a littel more involved.  To transfer the user alone, just sign into iTunes on the new computer with your same user name.  Easy as that.  To transfer the content, follow these instructions:

  • Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install.

    Ive just upgraded my late 2009 macbook, and things are not working properly. First of all, when I started the computer first time after installing Mountain Lion, some message advised me that some files were impossible to install. Once I wrote my password, and for now on, everytime I start the session, another window advise me that "Java SE 6" is missing, due that, the computer can't run some "CS5Service Manager". If I try to install it, the download ends with an error. If finally, you skip the istallation, you arrive to the dock, but the menu bar at the top of the screen doesn't show up.
    In addition, my trackpad doesn't works either. I can move the arrow but i can't click anywhere, probably because the option of clicking by touching is disabeled and I can't performance a regular click.
    I'll be very glad if someone know what the heck is happening with my computer. Anyway, I'm going to the genius bar next Saturday. Thx!

    We're sorry.
    We can't find the article you're looking for.
    Please return to the Apple Support homepage.
    Sigh.

    Hi my name is Silvana Pires,I purchased an I Phone 4 S Model A 1387 EMC 2430 SCC.ID DCG E
    2430 AIC.579 C-E 243 A in California one year ago,Unfortunately its Not working well the screen is getting black,and the phone is in good shape I can prove it,the Apple support in Brazil doenst work like in USA.
    I look forward to your reply and a resolution of this problem.
    Thank you very much!!!

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

  • Macbook 6,1 charger not working

    Macbook 6,1 charger not working A1344
    The Macbook is a 6,1 purchased in 2010.
    My friend has had a go at the shooting suggestions but nothing seems out of sorts beyond it not working properly.
    No damage or signs of misuse.
    Ordinarily I wouldn't have thought a warranty would still apply but this paragraph on Apple support page made me wonder.
    --- Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of the evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.---
    When my friend took the Macbook and charger into an Apple Store in central London she was told it's out of warranty and best option is to just buy a new one.
    Any thoughts regarding whether Apple has approved free replacement for these chargers?
    She is in UK but machine was purchased in Australia
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1713
    thanks
    Jason

    all sorted now - new charger given
    turns out a bit of intelligent discussion yielded results
    so .. if you have any problem with an older mac take it into an Apple Store
    theres an excellent chance they will fix and replace even when the machine is out of warranty

  • Password not working, reset and not working again ...

    Hi I have had nothing but problems today I think my account has been hacked.  Couldn't log in to Skype on PC or iPad kept saying my password was incorrect, though same password I have always had.  I changed my password by having Skype send me a new one to my email.  I activated it and created new password and all good.  IN the middle of a call it shut down suddenly and when I tried to log on again, it said it didn't recognise the password I only just created that had worked already.  Kept trying and still nothing. So I went to create a THIRD password and now skype is saying my email address doesn't exist.  I have had this account for years and they only just sent me a new password to that email address so it certainly does exist.  Left for a few hours and now tried again and it says i have tried too many times today.  I have actually tried to create  new account to be able to use skype.  Can anyone explain what is happening? I am currently scanning for viruses but i really want to be able to use my old account with all my contacts on it rather than start from scratch!  My mother in law is having the same problem with her account so I wonder if it's a virus??  At the same time I have started receiving a bunch of emails from 'skype' in Chinese so I assume this is connected somehow?  Please any ideas on how to fix this?! 

    Have received numerous of the following:  also my account isn't working, passwords not working, can't access anything.  I think it's been hacked.  It is now not even recognising my email address.  Please advise how to fix.  Please note I did not follow any links in any of these emails that have been sent to me.

    There is only one speaker, what looks like another speaker is actually a microphone. All iPhones only have one speaker down by the dock connector.

    You haven't identified the version so I can't tell if offering you contact options for Adobe Support will be of use to you.  But they will likely be your only hope of getting resolution unless you just happen to be using the wrong number as the serial number.

    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
