TS1963 DMS Launch error after migration from snow leopard iMac to new Macbook Pro?

I just purchased a Macbook Pro. I used Migration assistant to transfer my files from my '06 iMac, which was running snow leopard to the Macbook and at start up now get a DMS Launch error every time... any suggestions??
The error message says check with the developer to make sure DMS Launch works on this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application.
I have installed all updates as it suggests, to no avail. I keep getting the error message and report pop up box each time at start up and the only way to be rid of it, is to click ok to send the report - there is no option to stop the report from coming up.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to stop the error message appearing and resolve the issue?
Thanks
Chelle

Click Command+shift+G
Type in the following, one by one- Then delete the **** out of them.
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.update.agent.plist

Can't send emails after migration from Vista PC to W7 PC. Tried Mozbackup and Windows Easy Transfer. Settings have transferred ok, it just won't send emails.

I recently migrated my Tbird from a Vista PC to a W7 PC using Mozbackup. Transfer was fine with all the settings transferred apparently correctly. But now I can receive emails but not send them. Sent emails show in 'Sent Items' but are not received the other end. Also tried the migration using the Beta 1 version of Mozbackup and also Windows Easy Transfer with the same result. IMAP and POP3 accounts are both affected. Neither can send emails. I get no error messages nor any bounceback.
Found on one forum that AVG can block outgoing emails so altered the AVG settings which seemed to solve the problem. The next morning the problem was back. I uninstalled AVG completely but it made no difference. I do have MicroSoft Sec Essentials but the problem was there before that was installed.
Using the BT Home Hub 5 on BT Infinity broadband. It can't be the router though as the old PC was sending emails fine. Although I did have the suspect AVG settings, removing it has not solved the problem.
The outgoing email settings seem to be fine. Any thoughts?

Can't find documents after migrating from PC

I've just tried to transfer everything from my PC to my Mac using the migration assistant. It said the job was completed, and showed the files transferring, but I can't find them on my Mac. Please can you help?

I assume you logged into the user, then looked in your Music, Pictures and Movie type folders right?
If not there, you might just have to transfer manually.
It's no big deal, you just need a external drive formatted FAT32 (aks FAT, MSDOS) on the Windows PC, transfer your files folders to it and then connect it to the Mac.
If you happened to have larger than 4GB sized files, you need to format the drive exFAT on Windows, if you have Windows XP you need to download exFAT from Microsoft and install that first before formatting the drive. Vista and Win 7 already has exFAT.
Mac's can read/write exFAT and FAT32 no problem, it's if you format the exteranl drive NTFS on Windows that the Mac can't write it.
Perhaps that's why your migration didn't go as expected, Microsoft may have slightly changed something and the Mac didn't read the NTFS drive and it's changes.
So go the FAT32/ exFAT with a external drive and just transfer the contents of your files into the same folders on the same named user on the Mac and most everything should work as expected.

How do I combine double accounts after migration from eMac to iMac?

After using migration assistant I have two accounts, one for my old eMac and one for my new iMac.
Both were running Mac OS (10.5.7)
Also, the Mailboxes in the old eMac account are not in Mail any longer. Can they be found and restored?
Floyd

You are welcome!
For the log out issue have a look: "Apple / System Preferences / Security" and besure that the box for "Log out after ?? minutes of inactivity" is unhecked.
Then Run Repair Disk Permissions from this [How to Repair Disk Permissions|http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/14/how-to-repair-disk-permissions -in-os-x> link and test it for a day or so befor you reinstall the OS X.

Online Archive folder can't be opened after migration into Exchang2013

Online Archive folder can't be opened after migration from Exchaneg 2010 to Exchange 2013.
Windows8.1 MS office 2013, Exchange 2013, Online mode
error: Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. Microsoft Exchange is not available. Either there are network problems or the Exchange server is down for maintenance.
Is there any solution about this issue?

Select it and open the Info dialog. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you should have read & write access, and everyone (else) should have read access. If that's not the case, click the lock icon, authenticate, and make the necessary changes. Close the window and try again.

I have an imac 2009 the disk drive is damaged and I have lost the passwords I need to reset passwords I tried booting with a macosx disk from an external hard drive but did not read the drive how else can I reset password ?
I have a 2012 mac book pro can I use that to connect with firewire and load osx that way? and how woudl I do that?
Thanks so much!

To what password are you referring? Do you mean your user account's admin password? Or do you mean the master password for File Vault or do you mean a Firmware Password?
For an admin password:
Forgot Your Account Password
For Snow Leopard and earlier
     Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
For Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
     Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
     instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
     Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
     OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
If you cannot do the above then try this:
1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each command line:
     /sbin/fsck -yf
     If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command until
     you do. If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message,
     then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
     mount -uw /
     cd /private/var/db/netinfo
     mv local.nidb local.old
     rm ../.AppleSetupDone
     shutdown -r now
The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
How to reset the OS X password without a startup CD:
Reboot into Single-user Mode. Enter the following and press RETURN after each command line
   1. Type fsck -fy
   2. Type mount -uw /
   3. Type passwd <username>
I have never tried this method myself.

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,
Amy Wang

Severe Time Drifting after Migration from 10.5.8 - Help!

Hey everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me out or shed some light on a very odd issue that came about this morning. I'm really having a hard time figuring out a fix.
I recently upgraded one of my old Mac mini servers to some new, (to me), hardware. The old server was a last-gen G4, and the new one is a late 2006 Intel.
The migration went totally fine, and all services are responding and working as expected. This server really isn't used for all that much, so I didn't anticipate any real issues in upgrading from 10.5.8 (PPC) to 10.6.7 (Intel). But after checking everything over this afternoon, I landed on a really weird issue.
I can literally watch the time progress slower on this server. Really. The seconds pass slower, and after about an hour, it will be up to five minutes behind all the other servers in my infrastruture. The server is setup to watch time.apple.com as it's NTP, and there's no change with another NTP server. I can grep the NTPd and it seems to be working fine. I've "started fresh" by removing ntp.conf and ntp.drift, rebooted, and had NTPd recreate them after setting new time and date preferences. That seems to have helped a *bit* but it's still persisting. Time zone information is correct. I've even turned off time sync altogether and it still persists, so it's got to be a local issue with the system.
Now, after some pondering, I believe I know what's causing the issue. The person I inherited the server from replaced the stock 1.5 Core Solo with a 1.66 Core Duo, which I've seen done plenty of times before, and never heard any real issues with. And I did physically check the upgrade, and everything seems to be perfect. The system sees both cores fine, and everything is stable. Except this very odd time/clock issue. This is the only root cause that I can possibly think of for it doing this.
And what's odd, is that if the time is wrong in the menu bar, and I go into the Time and Date prefpane, it instantly updates to the right time.
Now really, this isn't *that* big of a deal for this server. None of it's services rely on perfect time, (Kerberos and whatnot), but it's still rather annoying, especially for Time Machine backups. My main curiousity is if anyone knows how to increase the interval for NTP syncing with time.apple.com, so it'll check every hour or so, (I believe it checks every 12 by default. Correct me if I'm wrong).
TL;DR
After migrating from Leopard Server (PPC) to Snow Leopard Server (Intel), my system clock is running about five minutes slow per hour. Suspecting processor upgrade is to blame. How can I increase NTP syncing interval with time.apple.com?
Thanks in advance everyone!

You can add/modify the minpoll and maxpoll values in ntp.conf. This should allow you to set the time poll and reset a bit more aggressively.
The Xeon chips have been notorious for time skew. I've not seen the same with CoreDuo and Core2Duo.
You may also just want to periodically stop and start the NTP process. This can be down using systemsetup command: systemsetup -setusingnetworktime on/off
In corporate environments with Windows time servers that reboot frequently, I tend to automate a script that stops network time, waits a few seconds, and then starts it again. This will force a sync.
Hope this helps. Oh, and by the way, time is critically importation to Kerberos authentication and authorization from the client. Next the DNS, time is the most common cause of access denial. Keep DNS and time healthy.

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

HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

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.
