Copied Keychain folder

ok i have been running leopard since day one and love it....i had a HD failure and needed to replace the drive but then had some kernal panicking so decided to do a FRESH install of leopard.....everything went smoothly.
Then this is what i did to recover files.....i didnt want to use a FULL backup from Time Machine being that there were a couple issues on the old OS so i wanted a clean slate but still wanted my files and folders and stuff like that.....so I dragged over what i needed from the old drive (music, docs, movies, and some preference files and whatnot)
Then once all that was carried over i started installing apps like Adobe Design Suite and MS Office and iWork......once i was back up and running i noticed that things like my browser was missing things like passwords and actual preferences and things to that nature.....other apps were not acting right either...all looking for keys and such....so what i did was fire up Migration assisitant and did a full migration of files, folders, prefs etc.
So far everything seems to be working fine and all the apps are running like they should......but was copying the entire keychain folder from the old OS to the NEW OS a good idea? I used the same system password i used on the old OS and kept all other stuff the same

Yes. That's the appropriate way. login.keychain in conjunction with Cookies.plist and the stuff in the Safari folder (bookmarks, form values, etc.). You did well.

HELP!! Keychains folder X509 was deleted

a Keychains folder that contained the X509 certificates was accidentally deleted. I now cannot use Mail. How can I get this back on my system correctly?

Copy it from your backup. Don't have one? Arrrrgh. Reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO update. If that doesn't add it back in, then you might be looking at doing an Archive & Install installation. See http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/ for details.

I just tried to copy a folder to a pen drive from my mac. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. When I pulled it out it said it had not ejected correctly despite me just Doing this. The folder is now missing from both! Help

I just copied a folder from my desktop to my pen drive. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. On doing so it said it had not been ejected properly!!!!! The folder is now missing from my computer and the pen drive. Pulling my hair out please help!

When youi say Eject, the RAM copy of the Directory is written back to the drive. On a pen drive, this can take several seconds.
If you get too excited and don't wait those few seconds, the directory write will be incomplete, and the drive will lose its integrity or lose files or both.

HT1751 unable to copy iTunes folder from mac to external hard drive, says hard drive can't be modified

when attempting to copy itunes folder to external hard drive, response is unable to copy file, hard drive can't be modified. What does that mean and how to I use external HD to transfer itunes library to new PC?

The drive is probably formated as NTFS, and your Mac doesn't have an NTFS write driver installed. Why not transfer the folder over your network?

I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people :(

I need to make space on my Mac. If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again, does it retain all my editing? It does not seem to retain Faces info and I have spent hours and days naming people

There is no way to export Faces information.
I'm not sure why you would do this:
If I copy a folder from iPhoto on to a hard drive, then delete it from iphoto then import it again,
If space is an issue then move the whole Library to an external drive:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

[js CS3] how to copy a folder

Hi,
How do you go about to copy a folder (with contents ;-) using JS. You can copy a file from one place to another, but there doesn't seem to be a similar function for copying a whole folder.
Thanks,

Create a new folder, rename it to the name you want, and copy all the files from the source folder.

File sharing - unable to copy photo folder

Hi!
I'm using File Sharing to connect my iMac to my mother's iMac.
I'm trying to copy a folder called "Mom Photos" (sub-folder of the main Pictures folder) to my computer. I created a user name and password on her iMac that I use to login from my iMac. Once logged in, when I click on the "Mom Photos" folder and try to copy and paste it on my computer, I see the following error message: "The items on the Clipboard can't be pasted to this location. One or more of the items may have been deleted or are no longer available."
When I created my user name on her iMac, I set the privileges to "Read and Write."
If I open the "Mom Photos" folder and select all the individual sub-folders within, copy and paste them to a folder on my iMac, I see the following message: "One or more items can't be copied to "Pictures" because you don't have permission to read them, Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
Thank you for any help!

Not being able to copy the folder itself would suggest that it has some other file, probably hidden, that is stopping the procedure. You could go up one level and perform the same action, but if this next level up is the Pictures folder then it might be best not to do this as the iPhoto library is also included within the Pictures folder.
One possible workaround would be to create yet another folder within the Pictures folder and then copy the "Mom Photos" folder inside this. Then when you do the Apply to Enclosed Items for this new folder, the "Mom's Photos" folder should now be available to copy.
If this still doesn't help then there is a Terminal command called change mode (chmod) that can be used to change the permissions on this folder. This would require to be on your mums iMac and to use her account, as you will need to authenticate to complete the task. It would be best if you can complete the operation without using Terminal but if using the GUI doesn't succeed then Terminal may be your next best option.

Cannot copy iTunes folder from Windows to Mac because of Permission

I have my iTunes library on a windows machine, running windows 7. The library is organized inside the iTunes folder.
I am trying to put this same iTunes onto my new macbook pro. I tried copying the folder to an external HD and plugging that into my mac. When I tried to just copy the iTunes folder to the Mac HD I got:
I messed around with the permissions in Windows, but I couldn't get it to change. I tried everything I could find in the security tab for the disk and the permissions on the folder.
I decided to try and see if iTunes could just do it itself. So I replaced it itunes library (which was blank) on my Mac with that of my windows. I then opened a song, and followed the promt to locate it. iTunes found all my songs (on the external HD) just as you would expect. Now I tried to consolidate to get everything over to the mac. About halfway through i got this error:
So SOME of the songs and apps and books copied over but only about half and now it won't go any further. I went back to windows and tried to mess with the HD secruities again, but nothing worked.
One more note: when I open the HD on my mac it says "You have read access only" in the security tab. I know every other thread on this like suggests changing that but there is nowhere for me to do that.
Can anyone help me?

I then opened a song, and followed the promt to locate it. iTunes found all my songs (on the external HD) just as you would expect.
That's not what I would expect if you copied the entire /iTunes/ folder to the new computer.
Try this...
Open a Finder window.
Select Users/yourusernname.
Right click - get info.
Scroll to the bottom (Sharing & Permissions).
Make sure you can Read & Write.
Click the gear icon at bottom and select Apply to enclosed items.
Let it finish.
Delete the /Music/iTunes/ folder.
Then copy the entire /iTunes/ folder from the external to /Music/ on the internal.

HT4796 I am unable to copy a folder on mac to an external hdd or even to a usb

I am unable to copy a folder on mac to an external hdd or even to a usb

If the external drives are formatted for Windows (NTFS), you can't write to them natively on a Mac. Your options are (1) to back up and reformat the devices as FAT32 or ExFAT, or (2) to install third-party software that enables writing to an NTFS volume (not recommended.)

Copy Keychain to Removable Media

Hello All:
I wish to 'copy' my Keychain to removable media, just in case something untoward happens. Of course, the backup is in Time Machine, however without another 'Mac' around I cannot access the data. So, I figured I copy Keychain to removable media (iPod Classic set up as hard drive).
Now, Mac Help says to "Copy your keychain to a location... or copy it to your removable media."
Great! Now for the daft question: How do I (exactly) copy my keychain to removable media?
Many, many thanks in advance!

V.K.:
Many Thanks for the reply. I should have thought it would be as easy as that. Although you are absolutely right that removable media is no better than a TM back-up, considering I will still need a Mac to access Keychain, it is more useful to me. It is easier to travel with the iPod (Classic) and have the info available than to carry a TM, even if I will need to locate a Mac to access.
Many thanks again,
Bill

Can I copy store folder to use in another machine

I have installed new directory server on new machine and already add all users. Then I install messging server 6.0 on new machine. I want to migrate mail box to new server, can I copy store folder on old messaging server (6.0) to use on new server.

You can do an imsbackup/imsrestore. This will take care of everything. It's how I migrated from 5.1 to 5.2 on a new machine.
You could also try using tar and then running a reconstruct -m. In theory, that should work. But I haven't tested it.
HTH,

Error copying production folder

Hello everyone. I'm hoping someone can help. The following query comes from a discussion forum I am on at work (school) and I thought someone here might be able to help. I actually don't know what the fellow is talking about so.... hopefully some of you will and will reply and I will be able to help him out. Here is his query: (thanks for your help)
We use four emacs for video editing. At the moment we just use iMovie and
things work fine, except that when I want to back up student work I
receive
an error on trying to copy the production folder from its location in
Movies
to our USB drive. Detaisla re as follows:
You cannot copy some of these items to the destination because their names
are too long or contain invalid characters for the destination. Do you
want
to skip copying these items and continue copying the other items?
I usually quit the processes, go into the media folder and copy the files
over manually. It seems the error only appears when I try to copy the
folder. The copy of the folde ris created, some files are copied, then
this
error. Obviously something Macish I have no idea about.
How do other schools back up their Mac iMovie productions?

Hi Jenny,
two reasons for such an behavior...:
a) iMovie cannot work with usb(2) connected drives... (usb cannot handle singles files that large)
b) iMovie needs "MacOsExtended" drives, not FAT-formatted... what, for sure that usb drive is.... same here, the specific file struture of iM projects cannot be handled by such drives (you can format any drive to MOE with Disk Utility, but any data gets lost while that process!)
to back up iM projects, you need to have a firewire connected harddrive which is MacOsExtended formatted... in the next PC shop you get'em cheap, format with Disk Utility - Boom!Done...
school? I used slate&chalk to store school projects.........................
besides: I usually quit the processes, go into the media folder and copy the files over manually. ... sorry, but that is some dangerous, wrong usage of a Mac! iM has a very fragile file structure, you move whole project folders/iMovie packages, not the single media content, you damage projects that!... that "sysAdmin" risks the work of your scholars, he/she should read a Mac book... never let Windows Admins touch a Mac!! Macs don't need Admins at all ;-)))
