After migration from MBP to MBA I can no longer add to my iTunes library

I just did what appeared to be a flawless migration from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air. All except for iTunes. I've searched here this site for a solution, tried various fixes, and nothing seems to work so far. Here's what happens:
iTunes works in all respects. All my files are still there, I can still sync to my iPhone, all of that. But if I do anything that requires writing music to the iTunes folders/database (such as adding an MP3 to the library or consolidating the library), I get an error "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough privileges for this operation". I have tried changing the permissions for all of the iTunes music folders, including finally giving read/write access to "everyone". However, this error message refuses to go away.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?!
Many thanks,
Howard

  • HT202157 After recent update of apple tv i can no longer play my purchased itunes tv shows. please help

    I paid all this money for apple tv and purchased the tv shows and now i can't watch them. please advise.

    Hi I have an apple tv 2.  I don't recall the last time I updated, but I was always advised against it.  I was turning on apple tv but had tv on wrong output and I guess I accidently hit update.  It says not to unplug or turn off, so I went ahead and let it update.  I have a collection of old movies that I owned before RedBox came out, so I downloaded them to my itunes library.  Now a lot of my newer movies will not show up on my playlists.  Movies that were there before.  Anyone know what happened, but better yet, please tell me there is a way to undue this new update?  PLEASE! 
    I know it's not the internet connection, because I can go to my computer and airplay it to the apple tv with no problem.  But this will be such a pain.

  • Migration from MBP to MBA: tips on using two machines at once?

    Hi folks,
    Seeking wisdome of the community here. I am retirng a long serving MBP-2010, moving over to a new MBA-2013.
    For lots of reasons, I'm setting up the new Air manually, rather than use Setup Assistant. I'm planning to continue using the Pro as a media player, at home, for emergency backup. The Air will be my main work device. I'm manually migrating my data, and will reinstall software on the Air selectively, as needed, to minimize some of the messiness that slowed down my old unit.
    So here's my question, concen: Are there any concerns, pitfalls, or tricks to using two machines, connected to the same Apple ID, in parallel? Should I uninstall any of the software in the old unit, or disconnect it from my iTunes, or anything else?
    Thanks for any reference, advice, or URLs. I searched the boards, but had no luck finding similar queries.
    All the best, Adam

    No, you can connect many Macs (and IOS devices) to the same AppleID, in fact for iCloud useage, you have to.

  • Migration from MBP to MBA

    I have a mid-2011 MBA which is fully set up with applications and data.  My wife has an early-2011 MBP which is also fully set up with apps and data.
    I am in the process of "switching" these two devices -- move my stuff to the MBP and hers to the MBA.  Both are fully up to date with software update and both have been backed up using time machine.
    I can use migration assistant to move the MBP to the MBA, but suspect that it will NOT have enough room as my own account (and files) will remain.  Am I correct in thinking this?  The MBA has a 250 GB SSD, but only 30 GB free.  If my suspicion is true, am I better off doing some sort of "disk wipe" on the MBA and then using migration assistant?
    Thanks for the help and thoughts on this.

    Since you say that you have both Macs backed up with Time Machine, read this link and choose the method that suits you the best:

  • Lightroom catalog corrupt and unrepairable after migrating from LR4 to LR5. Can I send the compresse

    My Lightroom catalog is corrupt and unrepairable after I migrated it from LR4 to LR5.  The only way I can use this catalog is by copy/pasting/renaming it.  Only after I do that, is Lightroom able to open the catalog.  When I close LR and allow the catalog to be backed up, the LR informs me that the catalog is corrupt and it fails to repair it. 
    Can I compress the catalog and send directly to Adobe for inspection?
    Thanks,
    Tim

  • Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

    can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
    needed RCA ... plz help..

    Hi,
    From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
    In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,

  • Migrated from MBP with moutain lion to new macbook pro retina display and now I have lion os

    After migrating from a time machine backup and logging in (had problems with that too and had to restart user password) the os version is 10.7.4 when it should be 10.8.2
    Went to the app store and I have to pay again to get the upgrade.. Do i have to pay again???
    Thanks!

    Hi again, Juan.
    OK this is just a guess but I believe that when you set up your rMBP from your old MBP you used TM restore not Migration Assistant. What happened is that you installed your old system OS10.7.4 and all files.
    Using Migration Assistant (MA) would not have overwritten your OS.
    See this taken from Finder Help....
    Recover your entire system
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover your system’s contents if your system or startup disk is damaged.
    Important: Only use your Time Machine backup to restore your system to the computer that is the source of the backup. If you want to use your backup to transfer your information to a new computer, use Migration Assistant. 
    Transfer your info from a computer or disk
    If you’re restoring your system because of a problem with your startup disk, repair or replace the disk before following these instructions.
    Make sure your Time Machine backup disk is connected and turned on. If your backup disk is on a network, make sure your computer is on the same network.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    Select “Restore from a Time Machine Backup,” and then click Continue.
    Depending on your type of backup disk, do one of the following:
    If you use an external disk, select it and click Continue.
    If you use a Time Capsule, choose your AirPort network from the AirPort menu on the right side of the menu bar, and then select your Time Capsule and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If you use a network disk, select it and click “Connect to Remote Disk.”
    If necessary, enter the name and password you use to connect to your backup disk, and then click Connect.
    Select the date and time of the backup you want to restore, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
    After you restore your system from a Time Machine backup, Time Machine may perform a full backup at the next scheduled backup time. This is normal. Time Machine resumes incremental backups after the full backup is completed.
    I suggest you make an appoint at the Genius Bar at a local Apple Store and they will help you restore your computer. Make sure you take in your old MBP and your Time Machine back up disk as well.
    Do not use instructions above for a TM restore now, because it will only reinstall Lion 10.7.4 not ML 10.8.X.
    You need to reinstall ML first and then I think all of your problems will go away.
    So did I guess right? Did you launch TM and restore or did you launch Migration Assistant to move files?
    Hope this helps, if you cannot get to the Apple Store, I can try to walk you through reinstalling ML, but first we need to download a copy of ML.

  • Hotkey (Ctrl+B) is not working after migration from Forms 6i to 10g

    Dear Gurus,
    Need your help regarding the following problem:
    After migrating from Forms 6i to 10g (Rel 2), Ctrl+B (used to list the blocks in a form) hotkey is not working anymore (all other hotkeys are working fine). I've checked my FMRWEB.RES and it contains an entry for Ctrl+B:
    66 : 2 : "Ctrl+B" : 70 : "Block Menu"
    Additional Information:
    OS: AIX
    NLS_LANG = UTF8
    fmrweb_utf8.res also contains the same text for Ctrl+B as above.
    I tried to reproduce it on my Windows Machine (with NLS_LANG set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1) and its not working as well. I don't have right to put move files on AIX server but i can try anything (on my local system) suggested by the Oracle gurus.
    Best Regards,

    Dear Gerd,
    "are you sure, that it is the hotkey"
    Yes, i am dead sure. Since:
    (1) It was working fine in forms 6i
    (2) If you run a form and select Help => Keys, you will see Ctrl+B on the top of list
    The problem is its not taking into account the keys which i am defining in the file (although i am following the same procedure detailed on metalink.oracle.com).
    Regards

  • Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

    Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion.  I can run connection doctor OK.  But the activity window is blank.   If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes.  Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead.  Thanks for any help. 

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. 
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Increase in CPU Utilization after migration from APEX 3.1.2 to APEX 3.2

    Has any noticed any increase in CPU Utilization after migrating from APEX 3.1.2 to APEX 3.2?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    Take a look at some of the usage reports within APEX (sessions, page views etc) to get an overall feel for where the time is being consumed.
    You'll also find it useful if you can run a statspack report (or AWR, ASH etc) during a busy period to be able to drill down into where that CPU is being spent.
    There's no magic answers here unfortunately, you need to track it down to where the time is being spent before working back up to find out where best to tune it.
    John.
