HT4527 Where are the music I transferred with the Migration Assistant?
I used the Migration Assistant to move my music library on iTunes to a new one, and both my new Macbook and old computer said the music transfer worked. However, I can´t seem to find the music files on my Mac that I wanted to transfer. Where are they, and how can I move them into iTunes?
Log out, log in to the migrated account, locate the music, drag it to the /Users/Shared/ folder, and from there to the first account's home folder.

I have a MAC OS X 10.7.5 with 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3. I was trying to ask what seemed like a simple question about transferring files. When I got to the page, it says to use the MIGRATION ASSISTANT. However, this is NOT in the applications file, which is where I would assume I would find it. There is NOTHING in the instruction sheet that says where to go to get it. I see that others have asked the same question, however, I did not see it was answered (said file was "locked"). Have now spent over an hour trying to ask this (including time spent trying to login).
Choose it from the Finder's Go menu, or open the Applications folder and double-click it.

HT4796 where are the migrated files located on my mac? i can't find them!
I am migrating from my PC to new Macbook Pro using Windows Migration Assistant. I can't locate my files on my Mac; not in photos or music or documents! Please help!
Thank you! I did not know where to find the migrated files either. I had lots of user folders to look through but finally found the one with my Pc data in it. Dragging it to the desktop enabled me to access my files and drag them into my Mac Folders.

No the driver were actually removed from the server yesterday. They are back today with a new release date (5march), but are actually the same drivers? Go figure? -

As an addendum, if I need to, and hopefully won't, unless I switch computers, how can I revert from a copy of a different backup? Thanks. :-)

Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: About iOS backups
It shows the locations of backups and how to use them with iTunes. -
Where are the notes from my iphone backup and how can I sync them with my new macbook and ipad. And my galaxy 3g if someone is feeling especially generous with their time and attention. Many thanks.
- The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
- What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes. -
Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.
Define "the Aperture files".
Read this concise guide.
The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals". Your Originals are never altered. What went in is what comes out.
Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file. This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture. There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image. Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved. These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original. They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture. "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing". The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple: create them by exporting. Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom. Note that I say "transitioning". You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information. Adobe provides a tool and some instructions. I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database. Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager: that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.
HTH,

How do I answer calls with the KITKAT update? I hit the flashing button but it's still ringing? Where are the Answer settings?
Aha! Thank you!!! That was not obvious. Sometimes I don't get the green and red icons. So it's slide it to the right for answering and slide to the left for voice mail.

Where are imac apple computers available with the matt display?...
You would need to find a 3rd party authorized vender who may be installing some sort of matte display. Or there are kits on the market to apply a matte finish to your display. AFAIK, all Macs have glossy finished displays.

Is it possible to use the migration assistant to transfer only some documents and data? For example, I was to transfer my music, but not my word documents. There doesn't seem to be any options to customise what you are transferring - its all or nothing

Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.

Where are the audio files located?
You know how when your video source is missing, it shows that ! with a yellow triangle around it? Then, when you hover over the !, it shows you where iMovie expected to find the video, and then you can just move the video there and it's fixed. But for audio, it doesn't show you where it is supposed to be located when you hover over the ! in the audio file (music green bar).
So, where are the music files supposed to be located so that it can find them?
Thanks!To the best of my knowledge, iMovie simply links to the music file from wherever it is located in your system. That could be the iTunes Library, your Desktop, an external drive, or other places. So if you move the music to a different location, I assume that iMovie will lose track of it. iMovie doesn't actually import the music to the project - it's just referencing it (as far as I'm aware).
If you know the name of the track (or tracks, or artists), try doing a search both within iTunes and on your hard drive using Spotlight. If found, the best solution is probably to drag it again into your project, then do the necessary edits if applicable.
Note that, in iMovie the music tracks are identified by song name - it's shown at the beginning of the green audio bar. So the songs shouldn't be too difficult to track down. It's just a pain having to re-instate them.

Convert to MP3 - where are the files?
Just imported a CD (my own recording = no copyright protection) into iTunes and need to convert it to MP3. Changed the iTunes importing preferences to import using MP3 encoder and the files play in iTunes ...
...but where are they?
Where are the actual MP3 files?That's what's so strange ... there is no "Artist -> Album" folder.
I placed the CD into the Mac & it asked if I wanted to import - said yes & the tracks popped up in the "recently imported" menu choice on the left. I created a playlist & drug all the tracks to the playlist.
I can't even find any evidence on the computer that any files were imported from the CD. The tracks play fine in iTunes, but there aren't any corresponding files on the computer I can see - MP3 or otherwise.
I'm looking in Music -> iTunes -> iTunes Music
(There are several folders in there, but they are MP3s that I manually put into that folder so they'd appear in iTunes. It's the reverse I'm having trouble with - when you import music from a CD where does it store those files?) -
PowerPoint parsing into Captivate 8 issues - where are the Adobe personnel to get this right?
In Captivate 5.5 I can import PowerPoint slides without any problems, BUT in Captivate 8 the parsing is TERRIBLE (even in high fidelity) leaving me with this result:
I have checked the size of the PP page vs the size of the Captivate software simulation video. I have imported it into an existing capture, I have started a new PowerPoint project and I have imported it into a new Blank project. Nothing works! The parsing is still terrible.
I have now read a number of Forum posts about problems with importing PP into Captivate 8 - NONE of which had answers.
So my real question here is: where are the actual Adobe staff members to answer this question and FIX THE PROBLEM! I have a contract to make videos for a company and I will lose my contract if I cannot produce good quality work.
This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!Lilybiri
You are a star! Thank you so much for the link.... I will certainly write to them.
And hopefully someone from Adobe management will see this and consider actually paying some of the generous users who contribute so much to this Forum, at least a stipend... Especially as Adobe is being paid good money for the software.
The response that I had to problems with Articulate Storyline is outstandingly good. Yes, they do have a general forum which is quite helpful but when I need specific help, their support is excellent. Eg. At about 1am on New Year's day I had a query about transferring my program from one computer to another. Thinking I would only get an answer a few days later I was really surprised when five minutes later I received an email telling me exactly what to do and inviting me to online chat if I still had a hassle.
I also belong to other Forums for various paid-for software that I use and although many of the people who answer in the space are just fellow users, their super-users (who are always around) are actual developers and are paid by the software provider to help the people who have bought their software.
So why can't the mammoth Adobe do the same?
Cheers
Ann
