HT204350 Migration Assistant in Mavericks does not allow User account migration
Users accounts do not show up at all.
After a similar problem I found http://www.hardturm.ch/luz/2014/02/fixing-os-x-10-9-mavericks-migration-from-ext ernal-volume/ which explains that since Migration assistant logs you out, it also unmounts external disks. As AtlNCS Admin points out, they have a solution in using ssh and command line stuff to mount the needed disk remotely, but someone in the comments had a simpler solution: do not plug in the external firewire disk until after launchine Migration Assistant. So before running MA, eject the external disk that you want to migrate to the new machine (and unplug it) then start Migration Assistant and after selecting "migrate from an attached disk" THEN plug in the disk. It worked for me.

Hi,
We have several SharePoint 2013 sites which, when the option called "User must change password at next logon" is checked on a user's Active Directory account, the user is not allowed to login to the SharePoint site. Is this something that needs
to be changed on the SharePoint end to resolve?
thanks,
Sherazad.
SherazadYou need to look at a different solution that allows this, e.g. home-grown solution, 3rd party, and I believe Forefront Identity Manager can also accomplish this task. There are quite a few self-service password management solutions out there. Search on
that term, and you should be able to find something that works for you.

Computer rebuild due to virus, now itunes does not recognize user account
My computer was infected and had a computer guru clean and restore computer. When he name the computer I guess he named it differently or something. I receive the error message, and I can't figure out how to save the window as a picture, message says,
The information on the iPhone "iphone name" is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync this iPhone with the information from this user account instead?
"Merge Info" merges the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
"Replace Info" replaces the information on this iPhone with the information from this user account.
Okay, I'm already freaking out because the first message that I cancelled was
"The iPhone "iphone name" is synced with another iTunes library on "pc name". Do you want to earse this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
So, my question is this, I do NOT want to risk losing my photos, or things like that, to include, since the rebuild my Outlook .pst was not saved, so I just noticed that there are no contacts on my computer.
What should I do? I have been able to back up my iPhone the best I can tell according to iTunes, but when I try to sync that is when I get the above messages.
Thank you,
MiamiCloud Backup is for your iPad, not for your computer.
Whatever you bought from iTunes is yours forever and can be downloaded as many times as you want. This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Here is the procedure for your reference.
On a computer, launch iTunes. Click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
"Sign in" using the Apple ID used to purchase your songs, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
Whatever you have that did not originate from iTunes will have to be obtained from whatever means you used to obtain it in the past. -
Upgrade to Mavericks does not allow connection to my Lacie external hard drive
I have updated my OS to Mavericks and since then I cannot connect to my external hard drive (Lacie Network Space 2) using my MacBook. I have tried with a PC running windows 7 and it works. Is there anything that I can do?
Hello Sir Gudo,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your external hard drive. I found an article with steps you can take when an external device is not being recognized.
I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

Mavericks will not allow Internet Account addition
Hi all,
My hard drive was replaced a few days ago. I need to reconstruct a few elements.

Can anyone assist please.
Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
Brigitte.Solved this problem by downloading from App Store latest iPhoto App. It took about one hour to install. Everything appears to fuction well, no loss of stored material.

The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'! Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window? As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.
Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How to Uninstall Yosemite? System does not allow Erase the HD, nor does it allow re-install of original O/S Disc (10.6.7). I want Mavericks or even Lion Back. Thanks.
Start with reinstalling Snow Leopard:
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 Access the App Store to download Mountain Lion or Yosemite. Mavericks is no longer available since the release of Yosemite. If you purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store, then you can redownload it via your Purchases page in App Store. If not, then you will need to purchase it from Apple;
Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless. -
I am using an iMac, 8.1, early 2008. I installed Windows XP at that time. I am now using OS 10.8.5 and want to remove the Windows partition to free up disk space. Boot Camp Assistant does not allow me to select the "install or remove" option. How can I get rid of the Windows partition?
You can try removing it in Disk Utility.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the Disk Utility main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. Select the bottom rectangle/partition. Click on the Delete [-] button below the sizing window to remove it. Click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
4. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for the remaining partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and drag it all the way down to the bottom. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a restored single volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work. -
Okay, just tell me now that Mavericks does not support iMovie 6 HD which I have migrated across my devices since it first came out as iMovie 4 and have supplemented with third party add ons from 3Gee. If this is true, then I will just jump off the nearest bridge, as I use it for my videography business. Since upgrading to Mav, I can not get the program to launch and am getting no pop up to tell me what is going on. It let me open and start a project at first, but then I was half way through and it crashed and I lost everything and now will not launch at all. Does anyone out there still use this magnificent program? Please help—the wedding I just commissioned is on hold and I am not want looking forward to facing a bridezilla.
right now just to get yer work done, get ahold of any OS that will run iM6HD and get it done. then dump MAVRICKS (wait till 10.9.2 at least) and retro back to OSX 10.6..or 10.7 (if you have it). I use FCExpress4 on 10.6....you might want to consider keeping a dedicated mini or something that ONLY runs your editing sw. I have 2 older machines that I will never upgrade because the editing SW wont run on the newwer OSs.
abuve all, be honest with your client. we all got kind of blindsided by this initial relese (like a bug infested matress).
ask if they have any apple stuff that has Mavricks probs. bridzillas only happen when they are out of the loop. Keep them informed. but ...also be ready to duck.
hope this helps. -

Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format
Boot Camp Assistant does not allow partiton when my disk is the right format - (Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume).

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. This is a POP3 email Account? I always get a message reading that the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. I have no such problem with gmail. What could be the problem and how do I resolve this. Is it about settings?
Richard.Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
