Documents won't save after migration

I recently bought a MacBook Air. I did a migration of my MacBook Pro to my new Air. Now, when I open documents on the Air from the Macintosh HD icon on my desktop (e.g. word or excel so far in my experience), after I make changes to those documents I can't save them. I get a messge that it's 'read only'. So I change the name and hit save. But then I get an error that I can't save it to the HD, so I save it to the desktop.
Now, I also have multiple copies of the doc that I'm working on saved to my desktop (I guess from saving during the time I work on them), and I'm forbidden from dragging them to the trash.
This of course must have something to do with the migration but I can't figure it out.
Please help??!

Thank you so much, that fixed it! It seemed so easy but I would never have figured that out

Word Document size is increased after migration?

Hello
We migrated from Sp2003 to Sp2010 and noticed that all item documents in each document library, file size is increased.
I compared the couple of documents, everything is same.
Is it by default depending on framework or what is logic behind this.
Can any one please explain on this?
Avi

I did experience this after a migration, and attributed it to differences in versions of sql server that were being used. Random checking resulted in identical results, just like you. After using it for many months, we got no end user complaints about it.
Needless to say, having documents of different sizes after a migration can be very discomforting for just about all involved parties.
In my case, there was a difference, when migrating via a 3rd party tool there
were file size differences, when migrating via standard MS tooling (by exporting individual site collections, but also by attaching content db's), we experienced
no differences.
Kind regards,

Password won't save after iOS 6.1 update

I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now imessage won't save my password. After the update, I kept being asked to enter my Apple ID password. Each time I would enter the password and 30 seconds later the dialog would pop up again. After entering it one time I quickly navigated to Settings and discovered that my AppleID password was missing from Messages. I entered it there and that stopped the dialog box from popping up.
Later I had to shut down and restart my phone so iTunes would recognize it. After it booted up the recurring Apple ID dialog box started popping up again.
How can I stop this from happening?

I'm unfortunately in exactly the same situation. Following update to 6.1 on my iPhone 5, I'm prompted every 10 seconds to enter my iTunes password if I re-enable iMessage logged in as my iTunes account rather than phone number.
I have not found a way to make it stop prompting so iMessage is currently not useable by me. This is quite frustrating, Apple's standards have been on a rapid decline for some time. I'm at the point now where I'm reluctant to install updates when they come out due to the frequent regressions such as this I've encountered.
If anyone has a solution, I'd love to know.

Large pages document won't save

I have a very large pages document - 400 pages, 1.4GB. I have been replacing all the images in the document with edited versions of them, perhaps making the document slightly larger. When I try to save the document it goes to the halfway mark, stays there for ages, and then says that pages cannot save the document. Is there a certain size document that pages simply won't save as I know I have enough space on my computer to store the file.

Well, Did you save it as Untitled? Where did you save it? On the HD or on iCloud? Is it just this untitled document or are you having problems with more Pages documents? what else haven't ypu told us?

Mail Clean Install Help: Mail Won't Work After Migrating to 10.6 from 10.4

I cannot get Mail to open after migrating from 10.4 into 10.6. Mail tries to import my 10.4 folders and messages and then quits unexpectedly. I want to do a clean Mail install to see if I can resolve the problem, but don't know how to do so.
All advice is greatly appreciated.
-Brian

Mail, the application, should not cannot contain any message data assets. The Mail application must sit in the Applications folder, and be usable to every User Account on the Mac, and not just yours (understand you might be the only user, but making a point).
Mail, the folder of data for just your emails, should properly be at Home/Library/Mail.
Let me ask again -- in the Applications folder is there an Icon for Mail, and is it the Icon of a postage stamp, or is it perhaps the Icon of a folder?
However, let me note, that now that I have booted back into Snow Leopard, and used Get Info on the Mail Icon in the Applications folder, it is reported to be 77.5 MB! Looking at it from other boot volume (Leopard) does not see all the elements of its "package" apparently. My apologies.
Now it is time for a different test -- Create a New User Account, and as that New User launch Mail and try setting up one new email account - if POP select to leave messages on the server. See the following if not familiar with adding a new user account:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
The reason for doing this is to test the Mail app itself, and not to permanently switch to a new user account. Tell me if the behavior continues in that New User Account with Mail?

Email password won't save after Yahoo hack

Opened my Mail inbox and got the wonderful mass of "MAILER @DAEMON" messages. Translation:I got hacked. I haven't had any problems with this since I changed my Yahoo/ATT password to something more complex. Now I'm being hacked again, went in to my account on my iPhone and found that it had reverted to the former password. Entered the new password, got the check marks, but it won't save--it reverts to the old password. I've tried this multiple times, I've tried rebooting multiple times, deleting the account and restoring it multiple times. Now I'm finding that my iPad has the same problem. So I am totally without mobile email now, and like so many of you this just ain't an option.

I Have a similar problem but 9 different emails have been hacked along with my iPhone. I am now on my 3rd new iPhone as Apple thinks this is the issue (I wish). it has become so bad the police dept have become involved and are bringing in the local FBI office since email hacking is a felony and 9 different accts are involved. I do have a good idea of the suspect (s) sadly not who I expected. Someone said to change my phone number to make sure they did not have it and this would help. Think it would?

CreativeCloud application won't open after migrating to new Mac (also running Mavericks)

I had CreativeCloud installed and working on my Mac running OS X Mavericks. Then I migrated to a new Mac, also running OS X Mavericks. My CreativeCloud 2014 applications all work properly. My problem is with the CreativeCloud application itself -- the little cloud icon that appear in my Mac's menu bar. When I double click the CreativeCloud application icon on my Dock, I see the Cloud icon briefly appear in the menu bar and then it disappears after a second or two. I went to the Utilities folder and I used the uninstaller to remove the CreativeCloud application from my Mac. I then downloaded the application installer and reinstalled it on my Mac. The exact same problem persists. This problem occurs in two different OS X user accounts on my Mac. How can I fix this problem?

Thannon88 please try utilizing the steps listed in Error "Failed to Install" Creative Cloud Desktop application - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/failed-install-creative-cloud-desktop.html to reinstall the Creative Cloud Desktop application.
If you continue to face difficulties then I would recommend starting the migration process over again. This time please only transfer your documents and settings. This will allow you a clean system to reinstall your applications.

Log Pro 9.1.8 - Won't Start after migration to iMac 27.5"

Just upgraded from late 2009 21.5" iMac to new 27.5" imac
Migrated all program data from old to new machine using TimeMachine
All seemed to have gone well until I tried to use Logic Pro (worked fine on old iMac - which was also running Yosemite)
Won't open - just keeps crashing unexpectedly
Tried reinstalling it - still the same problem
Anything obvious which I am missing ?
Thanks
Sean

Yes.. You used Migration to copy over Logic which is not recommended... because too many times such issues are well known and documented..
It's better to install everything from scratch.
Back up all personal data.. projects etc... manually to an external HD,...
Then reformat your Mac and reinstall OS X via the recovery system... (Start your Mac and quickly hold down CMD + R until you see the Recovery screen...)
Now install LP9, update it to 9.1.8 if you are using the DVD version.... and test using internal Audio...
if all is well...
install any audio/midi device drivers and test again.......
if all is well, install any 3rd party plugins/libs etc......
and once more test to make sure everything is stable...
Now you can safely transfer to your new mac.. your personal data etc.. that you manually saved out earlier...
Finally, Some hardware configurations of Macs are known to have performance/stability issues when using LP9 and Yosemite.. especially those with Retina Screens.. so please be aware of this fact... if your new iMac is one of the really new Retina screen versions... Given LP9's age and the fact is has been EOL'd... its unlikely we will see any further updates beyond 9.1.8 to fix such issues... OPS X updates maybe.. which could help... but LP9 ones.. No, I highly doubt it.
Note: I know this is a real pain to do but it is the tried, tested and proven method of making sure you limit any future issues that seem to all too often rear their ugly head after people use Migration Assistant or TM to migrate Logic over to a new Mac...

Pages document won't save or open

Pro Apps won't launch after migration

We just migrated from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and FCP, DVDSP, and iDVD all won't open. I tried reinstalling FCS but it didn't work. I used a freeware called Final Cut Remover to try to get rid of all the bits but that didn't work.
HELP! We have an edit scheduled on this machine tomorrow!
I had the same problem once before when I upgraded my computer but I had more time so I just did a clean install of OSX and all my apps. I don't have that luxury this time.

Warning - This is a long post.
How to uninstall Final Cut Pro & the other ProApps -
There are two ways to do this. The first requires that you insert the install disc and go through the following procedure to identify the installed files.
1) Insert the disc and double click the install icon.
2) Click to let the installer check your system
3) After the installer opens, click File > Show Files (Command-T)
4) Click the disclosure triangle next the the app's name to show all the files installed, then select all of them
5) Choose Edit > Copy (Command-C)
6) Open a text editor & paste the list
7) If you have a printer connected, print
8) Make sure you delete the file/folder in the exact location indicated in the list
The other way involves the Terminal.
Using Terminal:
1) In Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder (Shift-Command-G)
2) Enter the location /Library/Receipts/FinalCurPro.pkg/Contents
3) Click Go to open the Contents folder
4) Launch Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5) Enter the command lsbom -s (a lower case L, not an upper case i)
lsbom lists each of the files inside the bill of materials. To list only the folders, the command would be lsbom -d.
6) Type a space, then drag the Archive.bom file from the Finder window to the Terminal window.
7) Press Return to view the list
8) Drag to select the list in the Terminal window and choose File > Copy (Command-C)
9) Open a text editor and paste the list into it. Print if you have a printer attached.
10) Guided by the list, delete all the files and folders, being extremely careful to delete from the exact locations shown in the list.
NOTE: The above comes from the Peachpit book Optimizing Your Final Cut Pro System.

System Preferences won't save after change

Hello everyone,
I am running Mac OS 10.5.8 on a Black Macbook. The problem I am having is that none my changes will save in the system preferences. For example. I change the desktop background but the background won't change. The display window in the systems preferences window will show the picture I chose, but the desktop won't.
Another example: if I turn off "spaces" in systems preferences. It will show as off in the system preferences window, but as soon as I close the system preferences window, the changes won't take affect. This seems to happen with any change to settings in the system preferences.
I have recently used both "disk warrior" and Onyx to rebuild my desktop, check my drive and everything else those applications do. But still no change.
One more hint: I deleted an application (TomTom home) from my computer a few months ago, but the old icon shows up in the Dock as a "?" after each restart. I can drag it ot the desktop and delete it, but if I restart it will always show up.
What could be wrong? Should I do a reinstall? I don't have the disks...
Thanks Mac folks!

Ok, I tried both removing the "com.apple.systempreference.plist" and restarting from both a Disk Warrior disk, and the Mac OS X Install CD 1 and doing a repair of the disk permissions. Neither of the tricks worked.
I no longer have a "com.apple.systempreference.plist" file anywhere on my computer and I still have the same problems.
So what should I do now? I have (obviously) found my original disks. I am thinking I need to do a new install of the system software? What is the process for doing that and not lose my data?
Thanks again for everybodies help.

Safari won't open after migrating

I just got a new MacBook Pro Retina and used the migration assistant to move all of my documents, applications and settings from my previous MacBook Pro. However, when I try to open Safari, I just get a message saying "Safari quit unexpectedly" with the option to Ignore, Report..., or Reopen. When I click Reopen or try to start it separately, I get the same message.
It seems like my other applications are all working fine. I'm not sure if it was because of something that happened during the migration or if this was just how things were when the new MacBook arrived.
Please help!

Just found this link to download and re-install Safari 6 on another discussion thread. After the re-install, it now seems to be working fine. Not sure why or how it got messed up in the first place, but figured I'd leave this out here in case anyone else has the same problem:

IMovie and iPhoto won't run after Migration Assistant

After I used Migration Assistant to transfer my PowerPC files and apps. to my new Intel Mac, iMovie and iPhoto won't open. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks!

sorry, if you have a new mac it should come with the new version of iLife which is what you want to install. My bad. So, insert the istall DVD that came with your new Mac. On that DVD there should be a directory called Optional Installs which should contain a .mpkg file for installing iLife (I don't have an install disk handy so I don't remember the name of the file). double click on that file and it will guide you through the installation process.

Multi-Section Word Document Won't Save as Single pdf

I'm using MS Word 2004 and have a document split into 3 sections (so to permit landscape printing of the middle section containg a bunch of big tables, portrait on the two others containg text mostly, before and after).
When I try to create a pdf within the Word Print Dialog, 3 separate pdfs are created -- one for each section. Is there a way to get it to create just 1 pdf?
I don't do this sort of thing very often, so hope there is some easy, inexpensive way. I thought about copying the tables and then pasting as a picture, rotating it, but the margins for the middle center section are also different (so to fit the tables).
Any help or ideas are most appreciated.

Is this a Word document generated by Adobe's RoboHelp product or just a document generated directly in Word?
If the latter, you are asking in the wrong place. Even if you are using RoboHelp, this looks more like a question to ask in the Acrobat forums.
