Hello from an old but new member

Life is full of double meanings.....;)
I am old (I am eligible for all senior discounts)
I am a long-time (old) Arch user and borderline user of this forum
What's NEW, is that I have completed the 12-step program for distro-hoppers and have standardized all systems on Arch Linux. Having done this, I fully intend to be more active here.
I am also active on LinuxQuestions (same username) where I am also a moderator.

It's about time. Usually people are on walkabout for only a week or two. Geez...

How to move itunes music library from an old to new NAS?

I'm moving to a larger LaCie NAS and need to move my existing iTunes music files from the old LaCie to the new LaCie. My iTunes library files are on my mini, but the music files are on the NAS.
I have 2 questions:
1. Since I'm making this move, can I move all my iTunes files to the NAS (the whole iTunes folder in my user folder - library file, apps, artwork, etc.)? Are there advantages / disadvantages to this (e.g. for sharing with other MACs in the house)? (Currently only my music files are on the NAS - everything else is on the mini.)
2. What is the best way to make this move? I assume I could copy the files manually, I could use iTunes organize / consolidate functions to do this, or maybe there are other options. I'm not exactly sure how to do any of the options...
Thank you!

Sorry, I wasn't responding to you, just the original poster. I didn't look at the date on that posting and didn't realize that you'd added a post that wasn't quite the same problem. In future, you'll find you get better answers if you start your own thread. You're issue really is a bit more complicated.
If iTunes currently recognizes all the music on both internal and the external drives, it should work. You have to make sure that both drives (old and new) are mounted. Make sure you have both "Keep iTunes music organized" (you probably already do) and "Copy files to iTunes..." (you probably don't) checked.
If not all of the music is currently in your iTunes library, perform the procedure with the music that is a part of the library and add the other stuff afterwards.
Best of luck.

TRANSFERING ITUNES FROM AN OLD TO NEW COMPUTER

Hello there,
First time poster here. I would like to ask the question when you buy a new computer, if you download itunes and sign into it using your account setting, are all your songs etc still stored on it?
I have just bought a new computer and I am wondering how to get all my stuff on itunes from the old computer to the new one without having to start from scratch, does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

No, simply installing iTunes and authorizing your computer will not restore your music. You will to transfer your iTunes folder from your old computer. In your iTunes folder (assuming you used the default settings) are your media and your iTunes.itl file which contains all of your playlist data, playcounts, ratings, etc. Depending on the size of your library, you can transfer this using a usb flash drive, an external hard drive, by burning to DVD or by using an ethernet cable.

? Re: updating from LR 3 to LR 4 and from an old to new computer

I have an older laptop running Windows Vista and am using LR 3.6. I'm getting a new laptop tomorrow running Windows 7 and want to upgrade to LR 4. I also want to transfer all of my pictures currently on my old computer in LR 3.6 to my new computer in LR 4. Any suggestions on what the best and easiest way to accomplish this would be? Thanks!!

You do not need to have Lightroom 3 installed on your new machine to install the new version. If it is an upgrade purchase you will need the serial number of the older version to activate the newer version.
As far as transfering stuff from old to new, I imagine you will need to store stuff on some form of removeable media. You might get better help with that in the Lightroom forum.

Old but new Q: Cannot send email from Mac Mail application but computer tells me I'm online

I know this is an "old" issue for many, but I cannot find the solution to my problem.
A couple of months ago I moved to a new flat--suddenly I could not send emails anymore from my Mac Mail app, although I could receive them. I called Comcast, my Internet provider, who said it was my email server's problem. My email server is icloud, so I talked to a Mac tech guy who did remote desktop troubleshooting and said everything was set up correctly, etc., so I will have to talk to Comcast again. I called Comcast again and they told me again, it is not their issue.
So this is what happens: When I try to send an email, I get the spinning circle in the mailbox bar, and then it tells me after five minutes of spinning that icloud is offline. However, when I do a further check of the diagnostics, the light is green and says that yes, in fact I am connected/online. Note: I can send and receive fine on webmail, but I do not want to keep using webmail at home. It is very inconvenient.
I called Mac support again, and they told me I should find my solution online; otherwise, I can pay $20 to have someone remotely troubleshoot for me. Of course, I could not find the answer online. I am quite frustrated and annoyed at this point. Is it a port issue? Is it an OS issue? Mind you, I only have this problem at home, nowhere else. I take my laptop to a café, to a friend's place--I can send emails just fine. This leads me to believe that it's a Comcast issue, although they deny it.
Any thoughts would be deeply, deeply appreciated! Thank you!!

How about some free much-needed advice on how I can
start receiving emails again!
This indicates you were able to receive email with
your Verizon account previously with the Mail.app?
If so, try running Keychain First Aid on your login
Keychain.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=151548
Open Keychain Access, located in
Applications/Utilities.
Choose Window > Keychain First Aid.
Select your login Keychain, enter your password,
select Repair and then Start.
This is Trevor from the first post and I figured it out:
Go into mail - preferences - and delete the email account in question - the window will tell you that you'll lose all your saved mail, etc - you can save it if you like.
Then click on yes and you create a new mail account using your same incoming/outgoing settings. And, like magic, it works!
Try it - and if you want to save any mail before deleting your affected account, do it.
All the best!

After successfully importing my bookmarks through Firefox Sync from my old to new computer, can I purge the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new

I want to upgrade my computer and did a Windows Easy Transfer to my new one. My Firefox bookmarks did not show up on my new computer so I used Firefox Sync-which worked fine. Now that I have the bookmarks on the new computer, can I erase the old computer and still have the bookmarks on the new one.

First, disconnect your old computer from Firefox Sync so you don't accidentally delete the data from sync, but then yes you should be good to go.

Can I transfer adobe acrobat from my old to new computer?

My licence for Adobe Acrobat9 was included when I bought my old laptop. I've got a new laptop and would like to run the software on this PC, (how) can I do this?

Hi iws transfer,
What version of Windows does your new laptop have? See System requirements | Acrobat.com to see what versions of Windows Acrobat 9 supports. If your OS isn't listed here, you may be able to install and use Acrobat, but Adobe can't officially support the setup.
That said, you'll need your the installation media and your serial number. If you don't have the installation media, you can download Acrobat 9 Pro from this page: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 (Acrobat Standard isn't available for download.)
And here's some instructions for retrieving your serial number: Find your serial number quickly - Adobe
If you run into problems, please let us know.
Best,

HT201263 I have had a new I phone 5s and am trying to update from i cloud but new phone is telling me it needs an update to ios 7.1.1. How do you do this,

My phone saying 'no icloud backups are compatible with the version (ios 7.0.6) on this phone. But doesnt explain how to get the new update.
Hoped/expectyed it would update automatically but sadly not

It sounds like the iPhone setup is asking if you'd like to restore from an iCloud backup, and the Apple ID being used does not contain any backups which are compaible.
If you tap "Back" on the top left, choose to "Set up as new phone" and then attempt to update. Once the update is completed you might be able to restore from a backup if you have one.
If your iOS backup is from an updated/later version than what the iPhone is on, this may cause problems.

Transfer apps from my old to new iphone

Can i transfer my apps from my iphone 3gs to my new iphone 4, (I have some itune, name etc)

You should just be able to hook up to iTunes. Backup, Sync and Transfer Purchases. Then resotore from the backup with the new phone.. This is just what I have read tho, I'm unfamiliar with the process myself.

Transferring IPhoto from old to new computer

Hello:
I am having problems transferring my IPhoto album from my old computer to my new computer
Old computer
• MacbookPro 2.6Ghz Intel Core Duo
• OSX v 10.7.5
• IPhoto v 9.4.2
New Computer
• MacBookPro 2.6GHz Intel Core i7
• OSX v 10.8.2
• IPhoto v 9.4.2
Both computers Pictures albums and IPhoto Libraries permissions are are set to "read and write" for administrator and everyone. File sharing is on in System Preferences.
When I try to copy from the old to the new computer, I get message "Items can’t be copied to “Pictures” because you don’t have permission to read them". I have done the IPhoto "repair permission" on both computers and still cannot copy my IPhoto album from my old to new computer. What now? This is very frustrating :-(

Where on the new computer are you trying to copy to? Try changing the destination to the Desktop.
Another approach would be to connect the two Macs together with the old MBP in Firewire Target Disk Mode. Then see if you can copy the library without the permissions error.

Move Exchange 2010 Server from AD Server to a new Member Server

Hi All,
I would like to get some suggestion on a particular task which i have presently , In my organisation i have a Exchange Server 2010 installed on Win2008 R2 DC (FSMO role Holder), also i got a ADC on Win2003 R2 Server for the same Domain , My
task is to move Exchange 2010 from DC to a new Member server without loosing mail boxes and present configuration ,Kindly guide me with the steps to achieve this task easly
Thanks & Regards
Sameer

Hi Sameer and thanks for posting. Its good that you are moving exchange server from DC, because installing exchange server on DC its not recommended. To get the job done: 1.Install exchange server on the new Member server. (You can spread the roles on
the different servers if you are in the enterprise level organization.) 2.Create MailBox Databases according to your management style. 3.Move the mailboxes from DC server to the new Exchange server. 4.Move System Mailboxes to New server. 5.I would move FSMOs
to the ADC and shut down the old exchange for a week. 6.If everything was alright uninstall old exchange and move FSMOs back. I hope this helps. Farhad
