Can't get user account from 10.7.5 to Mavericks with Migration Assistant

I am perplexed about this one. I want to use migration assistant to get a user account from an old Mac Pro running 10.7.5 to a 2012 iMac that has Mavericks on it.
I've tried:
1 - Migration assistant over the network - migration assistant says the Mac Pro needs a higher operating system, but the computer can't be upgraded.
2 - Target mode of Mac Pro to iMac: Migration assistant sees the volume, but doesn't acknowledge any user accounts. It only acknowledges applications, and other files.
Any ideas folks. I simply want to bring the user accout over to the new computer and perhaps the applications.

LOL - I figured it out. I had to update the Mac Pro which included a new migration assistant update.

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)?

How migrate all mail (boxes and accounts) from 10.6.8 on Mavericks (without Migration Assistant)? Install the system (10.9.1) on a blank disk, copied the program and set up manually. Mail accounts and folders does not work to install and configure. Migration Assistant does not want to use, as it copies everything, and you only need to e-mail. Read a lot, but nothing works.

Try reindexing the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.
Reindex messages.
If that doesn't work try deleting MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3.
Quit the application.
You need to look in your user Library. Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mail Data/MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3. Move the file to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the file from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return thefile to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your User library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.5. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Migration assistant stalled ( 110 hours, after 30 hours ). How else can I transfer my data from PC to new iMac without wireless migration assistant?

i am a new mac user
i have a new imac
was trying to transfer data from old pc to imac using migration assistant ( wirelessly )
i had done it once already, but i noticed that although it took about 8 hours, very little data from the c drive was actually transferred ( i had not noticed i had to designated folders to copy )
so i did it again, targetting folders on the D drive and my external hard drive F - lots of data ( about 300 GB )
after an hour i noticed that the estimated time for completion was 88 hours ! i did let it run for about 30 hours anyway and hoped for the best ...
this morning when i woke up the time remaining was estimated at 42 hours, but then it suddenly jumped to 110 hours !!!
when i came home 8 hours later, it was still at 110 hours, so i stopped it - i assumed it had crashed ...
i got a message that one folder on my pc might have been lost - corrupted
incredibly, after more than 30 hours, no data had actually been transferred to my new mac !!!!
in any case, i see now that migration assistant created a new user account anyway, which i do not want
SO
how can i transfer data from my pc laptop to my new imac, preferrably with a direct cable connection as opposed to wireless, directly into my main account
and i how can i delete the other account migration assistant created in the initial "successful" transfer
thanks
chris

Concur; however, the OP has one Mac and one PC (non-Mac). Details are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518
Ah yes, forget the Firewire cable then, use ethernet.

OWSM how can i get user credentials from gateway in web service server

I need username in web service server. Gateway has option like "Insert WSBASIC Credentials" and service definition in gateway has "forwardcredentials" option. how can i use these options? has some any idea or sample code.

Hi Surya,
You asked whether there are any other solutions other than JavaBean.
There are ..
It is a round about way. But should work good on WEB. This is particular to MS things.
As you know you can use vb scripting to invoke all of this Ms things on WEB. So the trick is have a dynamic page called with your actual doc name as a parameter. Script and do whatever you want in this Dynamic method. And from within Forms call this Dynamic page using WEB.show_document( remember within Forms I can call any WEB viewable doc ). It should do the job.
But ( And that is a big but...)..
You need to take care of lot many things here.
You must have a app server which would support scripting like VB. And you must have MS OFFICE in the server . I understand this works best with 2000.
So finally it boils down to what I need and what I have. And Yes It requires a good effort.
Great going??? :))
Good Luck

Can you get User Data from a XI/PI System ?

Hello All
Can you with GRC 5.3 use PI as a User Data Source?
How?
Thank you

Hi Kristian,
for the AC 5.3 system user store itself or for the user details / user search you could use SAP ABAP, SAP UME, LDAP, etc.
Short: yes, you could use the ABAP user store of PI.
Best,
Frank

How can i get all values from jtable with out selecting?

i have one input table and two output tables (name it as output1, output2). Selected rows from input table are displayed in output1 table. The data in output1 table is temporary(means the dat wont store in database just for display purpose).
Actually what i want is how can i get all values from output1 table to output2 table with out selecting the data in output1 table?
thanks in advance.

You could set the table's data model to be the same:
output2.setModel( output1.getModel() );

HT204053 I did not know my kids had set up an Itunes account for me with one user name and password. then i got an i phone and set it up with a different email address and new password. how can i get my accounts to merge so i can have all of my music on

I did not know my kids had set up an Itunes account for me with one user name and password. then i got an i phone and set it up with a different email address and new password. how can i get my accounts to merge so i can have all of my music on my iphone

Quote: "You cannot merge two or more Apple IDs into a single one. You can, however, use one Apple ID for iCloud services and another Apple ID for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). See “Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases” above for details." See also Apple ID & iCloud FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
You can set up your iCloud account on your iOS device under: "Settings > iCloud" and a other account for store purchases under "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Unfortunately merging accounts is not possible but you could transfer all of your music manually via iTunes from your Mac or PC.

How Can I get my bookmarks From My Sync account without my sync key after a hard drive crash?

My Computer Hard Drive crashed before I could back up my Sync Key or add another device. How can I get My bookmarks from my sync account without resetting the sync key and wiping my data?

Not from Mozilla. Nobody knows your Sync Key except for you. <br />
Is that hard drive usable at all? Like as an external disk in a USB hard drive enclosure?
If so, you can recover your Firefox data from that drive. <br />

Your description of the problem is a bit confusing. Do you have ONLY ONE Apple ID or do you have MORE THAN ONE?

Can't get group messages from iphone user

I use to be able to get group messages from an iPhone user when I was using my Razr Maxx but switched to an iPhone for a couple months, then back to the Razr Maxx and now I can't get group messages from my iPhone users. I'm using the same text message service I was using before trying an iPhone so I don't know why I now can't get group messages.

Hi,
Which website your are using to update the Adobe Flash player? No Adobe website ever ask for any id and password to update the flash player.
If you are using MAC machine and its the password prompt while installing update that you are talking about then please follow What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

I can not open user account

As new user to Mac I tranfered files from my PC to Mac using the Migration Assistant.
All seemed to go well till I tried to access them.
I think a new user account was set up as was supposed to.
First time using Users & Groups the screen below showed from top
Kevin Add min: No probs getting in or out of that acc.
ASPN.NET: Have no idea and cant gain access
Guest user: No probs getting in
And 4th I think is the one containing my transfered files: I cant log in.
I tried using my Mac password, and old PC passwords but no Joy.
I then tried changing password to this account with no success, it goes through process, but no verifaction email sent to my Apple id.
So I still have no access.
Any ideas of how I can gain access would be most welcome as I have spent hour after hour with no joy.
And if all else fails, will I be able to delete the account and all 36 GB of files and maybe start-over.

Can you access ~\Users\Sharing from a PC on the network?

I have a mixed home network of 3 PCs and one Mac Mini. I want to store all the digital music on the Mac Mini and share it with the PCs.
I have successfully created networking links between the PCs and the Mac. For example, I setup a MYPC account on the Mac and I can map a PC network drive to \\MacMini\MYPC\Music. This works fine, and survives a reboot. BUT IT ONLY GETS ME INTO THE FOLDER ON THE MAC WITH THAT USER'S FILES (MYPC), NOWHERE ELSE. So it's not a directory everyone can use (public).
I am trying to map \\MacMini\Users\Sharing and I can't get to it from the PC at all. I've tried using the IP address also. Nothing gets me there. This is after being connected in as an authorized account on the Mac. I thought that folder was open to all? Any suggestions?
I've also tried using a public folder on the Mac account to share. Also unsuccesful. Each PC user can easily see their own public folder (and more). Sometimes after I'm logged in, I can directly type in the address \\MacMini\MacUser\Public and see it, but it's intermittment and unpredicatable. I'm, open to this route, if I could get it to work.
This is a real head-scratcher. Please help me out.

You will need to use Sharepoints in order to share specific folders

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If I have understood you properly, to do that, you have to create a new administrator user with your name and for your uses. Follow these steps:
1. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator account.
2. When you have finished creating that user, open  > Log Out, and log in your new user.
3. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the old user and press the - button to remove the user. If you want, you can select the option to remove the Home folder of this user, so you will only have the Home folder for your account
