I have copied Iphoto library from other MAC using the migration assistant, when starting Iphoto the rebuild however stops half way (no progress after 24 hours)

Using the migration assistant I copied my users from an old MAC (2007) to a brand new on. After a few attempts and software updates this worked. For Itunes and mail for example all data was available. On starting my Iphoto however there was a problem. When starting there is the message that the library, to be able to work with the new Iphoto Version, needs to be updated. In the process of doing this the programm seems to get stuck after 40 % of progress and even after 24 hours does not continue. I have tried to use the I-Photo First aid, but before starting any of the steps it wants to re-allign the old library to the new Iphoto version ans subsequently get's stuck on the same spot again !! Is there any advice you could give ?
Thanks,
John

I have tha same problem.
iPhoto asks for updating, then it shows a bar about the conversion in progress, then it shows that it is working on faces library and then the circle spot stop to turn on faces library and starts in the middles of iPhoto window.
After three days nothing changed!
Any help?

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
By default, Migration Assistant creates a new user account where it puts all the transferred data. Just go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will be able to access to the transferred data.
If you want to merge the data into the first user account, use the Shared folder (it's in /Users/Shared) to put the transferred files there, and then, on the first user, go to the Shared folder and put all the data in the folders you want

Converting itunes library from my Mac to the childrens Dell (XP)

I have downloaded Itunes to the Kids Dell. I would like to transfer the childrens song library from my MAC to their Dell. How do I move the individual users (3)song library from MAC to Windows. The kids want stay off my MAC!!!

I need to type in or copy/paste words from other languages (cyrillic for example) but when I do it the only thing I get is a "????????" instead of the word I want to type or insert. What should I do?

That happens when I don't know how to write so I copy/paste words from other languages, it also happens when I copy words in other languages written in a Word document, and then paste it on a website using Mozilla. This doesn't happen when I use Internet Explorer.

Well you second post was the correct question because I was going to say you got a second hand macbook pro, didn't change anything, and expected mail to work with your ISP. The mail settings were thus those of the previous owner. So you are correct to ask what your ISP's settings should be.
Unfortunately I can't answer that. You have to get that from your ISP. They proably have a web page for it.
You need to know:
Incoming mail server (pop)
Incoming mail server login name
Incoming mail server password
POP port
Does is require SSL?
Authentication for using POP server (probably password)
Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
Outgoing mail server login name (probably same as incoming)
Outgoing mail server password (probably same sas incoming)
SMTP port
Does is require SSL?

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works. I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac. Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
You need to have Home Sharing On.
Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

Move (or access) Aperture library to new mac from other mac (over the air)

I had Aperture 1.5.6 on my iMac. I upgraded to snow leopard and now Aperture will not work. Apple says the old version does not work with the new. Now I cant get to any of my pics. So I loaded my copy of Aperture on my Macbook air which still has leopard. No probs with the install but I cant move my library. I can see the Aperture library file on the iMac over the air from my macbook. I want to either import over the air or access over the air. I tried to chance the location of the library in aperture on my MBA but when I drilled down to the library on my iMac it said "not writable". I "got info" to make sure my MBA had read and write permissions for all the files on my Imac (and it does) but still no joy. Any help?
Matt

You can't access it "over the air." Aperture cannot edit a library over a network share point.
Copy the library to the MacBook Air and you can use it from there.

How can i sync my iPhoto Library to 2 macs using the same Apple ID?

Hi,
I have 2 mac book pros (1 in the office and 1 at home) and I have all my photos saved on my office mac iPhoto Library. Is there a way I can sync both iPhoto Libraries? I will be using 1 Apple ID or account for both macs.
Thanks

What do you mean by "Sync".
The general term means when two Libraries (A and B) are compared and files in Library A are copied to Library B, while files in Library B are also copied to Library A so that both Libraries are identical.
This is bi-directional copying and you cannot do this automatically with iPhoto. No Syncing software is capable of parsing the iPhoto Library in this manner. One or both of your Libraries will be damaged if you try this.
You can have uni-directional copying - files in Library A are copied to Library B - this is essentially backing up. Obviously you can also copy from Library B to Library A. So, if all your Photos are on Machine A then just back it up to machine B.
The nearest you can get to syncing is to use iPhoto Library Manager to move files/Albums/Events plus associated metadata between Libraries. This process cannot be automated.

Copying large files freezes other Macs on the network

Hello everyone,
since we added a Mac Pro to our network, other clients sometimes hang and have to disconnect to a server (Xserve), when we copy large files (100MB and up) to that server with the Mac Pro.
Like the other G5's, the faster G4's and some PC servers, it is connected on gigabit speed.
Can someone help me to pinpoint this problem, or give me more information on finding the cause?
Maybe this can be usefull:
We replaced the cable by a Cat6 UTP cable.
Slowing down to 100mbit did not solve the problem.
We could not reproduce the problem when connected directly to the Xserve (no switch or patch pannel, only the cat6 cable).
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
yesterday, may boss, ordered some people to check the cabling and connections in our network.
They revealed several problems and advice to replace all cabling to cat6 or cat7.
Is the MP susceptible to network imperfections? Our other G5's never suffered from network flaws (now the ethernet cards are Intel instead of 'Apple' design...)
I did some other tests, and set the MTU to 750 instead of de default 1500. Without success.
I am trying to finde som info in the logfiles, but do not seam to find any details about the network problems. Where should I look? The system log, netinfo log is empty...
Greetings,
peter.

Accessing a single itunes library from multiple macs using a NAS???

hi, at the moment i have a imac g5 holding all my itunes library files on its hard drive. i'm about to buy another mac to locate downstairs, and also have itunes on my windows laptop.
i am thinking of moving the itunes library to a networked attached storage device, something like the buffalo terastation. does anyone have experience of this? does it work well over a wireless network? (802.11g)
how easy is this to set up, and make each mac point to the library on the NAS device? are there any problems with ripping cds to the NAS device, or multiple macs accessing different songs at the same time?
what would i need to do on each mac to make if see the library if i moved it to the NAS?
sorry for the questions, but i know what i want to do, just not quite sure how to do it!
thanks, andy

hi,
sorry i haven't tried this. i've now resorted to
buying a mac mini, attaching an external firewire
harddrive and using itunes sharing. still means i
have to have the mac mini on all the time, so not
ideal. i decided not to buy the nas for the time
being. i'm still interested in hearing if it works on
other peoples systems tho!
There are others who have done something similar in that they created a shared folder on one computer and opened access to that shared folder to all other computers. The result was that only one computer could listen to the library at a time. I would assume the same thing would be true if using a NAS due to the file locking iTunes imposes. Anybody want to take a ride to the Apple Store and see if one of their reps have done it??

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, I did not transfer files from my old pc with migration assistant when I set up the MacBook. A few days later I did the transfer, now my Itunes library and everything else from my old pc is under a different user account

I've already setup the original user account and do not want to do it again, how do I merge the two user accounts into one so all of my stuff is under one user account?

They are the same Itunes account (mine), but since I transferred the 'user account' with my Itunes library and other files from old pc to my new MacBook, I now have two 'user accounts' on my MacBook. The original I setup when I got the MacBook and the one I transferred from my pc. I've already went thru most of my photos in Iphoto and named all the faces along with general setup of how I want all my settings on my MacBook under the first user account, I don't want to start over and do it all again with the transferred user account, I just want to move my Itunes library I transferred over to my original user account on my MacBook. Does this make any sense? lol

How to have different music library's on iPods using the same Apple ID

Hello.
Me and my sister both have iPod 4th generations. Because of the timing of the purchases of our devices we use the same apple account. I would like to know how to have a different iTunes music library to her and if it will still keep the libraries separate.
Please help.
~ Harry

The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.
To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
Or you can opt for completely separate libraries... Disable automatic downloading of purchases and turn off the display of iTunes in the Cloud purchases from the Store menu. You still get the benefit of being able to freely download something the other has purchased that you also like.

Hi ,I have a Mcbook Pro Mail version 6.3, since we changed from ADSL to fiber the incoming mails stop coming.out is fine after we changed the ports etc. does anyone know what alse we shall do?thks!

hi, I have a Mcbook Pro Mail verson 6.3,
since we changed from ADSL to fiber the incoming mails doesnt work.
out is fine as we have configurated the e mail account with correct info.
so what can be the problem? anyone that can help out?
its my first time out here...thks!

It's either a problem with your incoming mail server (are you using POP or IMAP?) or, possibly, a problem with your new router.
Which mail service are you using and what is your incoming server address? Does it require a special port?
