Anyone out there successfully migrated from 10.4.11 over ethernet?
Here's my problem thus far:
I've got a MBP running 10.4.11 with the latest download of the migration assistant. I've got a new late 2008 MacBook running 10.5.5. I can get migration assistant running on both connected by ethernet and airport is off on both laptops. The MBP sees the MB over the ethernet. I enter in the pass code that the migration assistant lists on the MB and then the MBP goes back into "search for computers" mode and then asks for the pass code again. After I enter the number a second time, the MBP goes back into search mode and this goes on for about 5-10 more minutes until the migration assistant on the MB tells me that there was a network error and it can't work.
Apple DID A HUGE MISTAKE when omitted Firewire for no reason from the new MacBooks and this becomes evident when trying to migrate user acounts to the new macine from old ones. Apple tried AND FAILED to implement a Migration Assistant that works over network because the whole idea of the original Migration/Setup Assistant became the exact opposite: a painful troubleshooting nightmare, taking hours if not days without success.
Before any "genie" here asks, I want to point out that all the updates are on my old machines (yes, after finding out the huge problems with this new Migration Assistant 1.2.3 and 1.0.6, I actually tried from 2 old machines, a Mac Mini and a MacBook Pro, as well).
Looking at Console one could find out that the problem lies deeper than the two machines not being able to find each other over the network - connection goes through within 1-2 sec, but after that there are numerous problems on the old machine, see below. That is why I say Apple really screwed us (and up) with this Migration Assistant v.1.0.6.
I copy the Console output here and mark with **???** where there are visible errors in the implementation (SantaRosaBook is the old MacBook Pro and SilverBook is the new MacBook):

Up until this point the new machine could not find a stable connection with the old one, while the old one prompted twice for the password and started to find connection a second time.
It would be really helpful if somebody from Apple Tech Services could identify the problems and reply or ask for further information. I would be happy to provide further Console messages if that helps.

Help ! I have recently used iTunes to subscribe to some Podcasts flawlessly. Then suddenly, I could only view the latest downloaded Podcasts in my iTunes account. I no longer had any Podcasts on my 160GB Classic. Can anyone save me from me ? I would truely appreciate any suggestions or direction. Thank you. [email protected]
Connect your iPod to iTunes and check on the Device/Podcasts pane; there are several options for which Podcasts are "kept on/left on" the iPod at each Sync. Are they set the way you want? For instance, if the setting is "to keep on the iPod only new Podcasts", that would cause older Podcasts to be removed.
If you need to chnage the setting, you will need to Sync the iPod afterwards for the change to take effect. -
My iPhone4 doesn't appear to have "FacTime" (App), yet when I "ring" it from my iPad's FaceTime, I hear a faint ringing tone but nowhere to answer the call? Anyone out there suggest what's wrong? (going to the App Store and searching "FaceTime" brings apps that have icons different to that of my iPads!)
Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

hello, failing miserably here, cant import nef files from aperture 3.1.2 to iphone 4. I am syncing with the projects and smart albums and I am only able to sync the jogs and psd's Anyone out there to aid this frustrated photographer??
See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

I just got a new iphone 5c this is my first smart phone. I have an Ipad so thought it would be easy.
I downloaded the new software don't know if this changed anything. I have only had phone for 4 days
but now the light won't shut off. I have to turn off the phone for it to go out. I did the holding down home
button and start button till apple shows up. I checked to make sure the LED flash for alerts button was off.
I don't know what else to do. Anyone out there have the same problem and have found an answer.
Thank you!After powering the iPhone off and on, the light goes out but turns back on randomly or immediately after powering the iPhone on?
Since nothing else you have tried has resolved it, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup first.
If no change after that, try restoring as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
If no change after that, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby. -

According to The Missing Manual, Version 10.6.8 of the Mac OSX Snow Leopard system should have a password generating utility, called the "Password Assistant," which actually generates passwords for you. I've been unable to find this miraculous utility on my Mac, and seek enlightenment from the learned readers of this community. Anyone out there have some light to shine on my dark corner?
I think the "Password Assistant" they are specifically referring to comes up when creating or changing an Account's password. For example, go into your System Preferences Accounts. Select an Account. Click the Change Password... The sheet that drops down has a little key in a box. Click that. And a window with the title "Password Assistant" is displayed.
Example: Using Apple’s Password Assistant
Note, the Password Assistant can also be brought up from Keychain Access's New Password Item... menu. It brings up a sheet with a little key too.
Lastly, a little google searching flushed out a little app which apparently directly uses the built in OS X Password Assistant used by Change Password and Keychain Access. It's called, no surprise, Password Assistant and can be found here. -
i have moved my sdcard over to my samsung brightside phone,. but the videos can not be read. Is there anyone out there whom may have experienced the same issue? I also tried transferring my files over to my pc first, then reformatted the sdcard, then transferred to the appropriate files back onto the sdcard and put back into samsung.
Thanks for the info SuzyQ. lorsa, the community is correct, pictures and videos can be saved differently on other phones. What phone did you remove the SIM card from? Where did you purchase your SIM card from? Your previous phones SD card and format may not be compatible with your Brightside device. I show you advise that you reformated your memory card but make sure the files are saved correctly. Listed below are the different type of files you can save, receive, and view for pics and videos with your device.
Files that are compatible with the Brightside device:
JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.jpe)
BMP (*.bmp)
PNG (*.png)
GIF (*.gif)
3G2 (*.3g2)
3GP (*.3gp)
MPEG4 (*.mpg)
Please let me know if the information above helped with your issue. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. Make sure you always power cycle periodically. You may also need to peform a hard rest for your phone.

I am new to apple software having worked with microsoft all these years. The switch was mainly for my photographs. Iphotos seemed to have changed all digital albums from jpeg to tiff format hence the very small resolution. Can anyone out there please help me recover these photos to origianal format???
Thanks
suvieve63Gosh I am already tired of trying to retrieve this photo album and it seems like a waste of time and money spent on an apple IMac.
No disrespect intended but until you learn how iPhoto and Macs work you will continue to be confused and frustrated.
You say you want to create a book in iPhoto and have it printed by Apple, right. Have you finished creating the book in iPhoto? If so the Control (right) - click in the View all pages window background and select Save Book as PDF in the contextual menu?
Open the the PDF file with Preview and check for any errors or problems. If there are none you can order the book by clicking oin the Buy Book button at the bottom. Save the pdf file to compare with the printed book when it arrives in you feel there's a problem with it. That's all you need to do. There's no use of the Finder required.

I'd suggest being more specific. What do you mean by "it seems to have thrown windows out of the system?" The Windows virtual machines should still be in the Virtual Machines folder in your documents folder. Are they there? What version of Fusion have you updated from and to?
You might also consider raising your question in the VMware Fusion forum: http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/desktop/fusion?view=discussions&sta rt=0. -
Anyone out there creating impulse responses?
Those of you that use sine sweeps to create your impulse responses, when you deconvolve them do they end up being the same length as your sweep file or does space designer create the proper length reverb tail?
When I attempt to create my impulse responses space designer does not create a reverb tail. It just seems to remove the sound of the sweep form the wet file.
Other convolution reverb programs that I have used create a reverb tail automatically and I believe sound designer should do this as well.
If anyone else is having this problem or has a fix for this issue please let me know. If not then if anyone out there is successfully capturing impulse responses using a sine sweep please post detailed step-by-step instructions on how you are able to do it.
At this point I am at wits end. I have contacted apple care only to find out that they don’t support space designer, so they were no help. You guys are my only hope…
Please Help
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7)The process is simple, but has many steps and they must be takin in the proper order:
Play the sweep tone into the space or reverb device while recording the output of the space or reverb device. If you use a reverb device, be sure to set the mix to 100% effect.
Be certain that the space or device you are sampling has fully decayed before you stop the recording. If you were sampling a 4 second plate reverb, do not stop the recording for at least 8 to 12 seconds after the sweep tone feeding the plate has ended.
Edit the resulting recording to eliminate 'dead space' before the sweep begins, and remove any excess space at the end of the file. Be careful not to truncate the decay portion after the end of the sweep.
Place the original sweep file and your edited recording of the effected sweep somewhere easy to find, I use a new folder and save them there.
In "Space Designer" press the "Deconvolution" button in the upper right corner. Load the effected sweep recording, then the original sweep signal and then save the resulting IR in a new folder.
Load the resulting IR file using the "IR Sample" menu and save the preset.
I've created hundreds of impulse files using sweep tones and it has always yielded proper reverb tail lengths for the space or reverb I was sweeping. In other words, if the sweep was 12 seconds long and the space I was sweeping has a 3 second RT60, the resulting impulse would be 3 seconds. On some files Space designer will create an impulse file which is much much too long. In these cases I remove the unnecessary minute or so at the end of the file and resave it. -

Does anyone out there know the meaning and history of the APPLE logo?
I am doing a paper on Apple Corporation and I called to ask them and a lady at corporate said "we dont comment on things like that". I asked if the meaning was secret and she said, "no we are a forward moving company and we dont talk about stufff like that." unquote.
I wanted to know the origin and meaning of how Steve Jobs or whoever picked an apple as the logo and why there is a bite out of the apple on the right side.
Anyone out there be so kind as to answer this iof you know--or care to venture a guess??? JeffThe name "Apple Computer"
A lot of people wonder where the name "Apple Computer" came from, as it is a rather unusal name for a computer company.
Steve Jobs came up with the name in early 1976. At the time, he was often visiting and working on a small farm friends of his owned. It was a hippie commune where Steve spent a few months of the year.
When he returned from one of those stays, he told Steve Wozniak about his idea. Jobs probably was working on apple plantages. Or he just wanted their startup to be in front of Atari in the phone book. Or it was a tribute to Apple Records, the music label of the Beatles.
Whatever the true origin of the name was, Woz knew instantly that they were going to be in trouble with Apple Records sooner or later. But as they were unable find a name that sounded better than Apple Computer, the name was chosen.
Woz's worries turned out to be justified. Apple Computer, Inc. was sued by Apple Records over trademark violations in 1989. (for more on this see below)
The Apple logo
The first Apple logo was designed by Ron Wayne, co-founder of Apple Computer. It was rather a picture than a logo. It showed Sir Isaac Newton sitting beneath the famous Apple tree thinking about gravity.
It was only used for the Apple I. Steve Jobs felt that it was too intellectual and it was almost impossible to put on computers as one could only recognize the details of the drawing when it was large enough.
Therefore, in 1977 Jobs asked the art designer Rob Janoff to design the new Apple logo. The new logo had a simple shape of an Apple, bitten into, with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. The bite symbolized knowlegde (in the bible the apple was the fruit of the tree of knowledge) and the bite could also be pronounced "byte", a reference to computer technology.
When Jean Louis Gassée was asked about his thoughts to the Apple logo he answered: "One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of **** and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn't dream of a more appropriate logo: ****, knowledge, hope, and anarchy."
In 1997, Steve Jobs decided to drop the multi-colored Apple logo and replace it by a solid-colored logo. The first Apple computers to feature the new logo were the new PowerBook G3s in 1998 (although they still featured both types of logos).
