Install 10.6 and now Migration assistant can't connect to my TimeCapsule
After installing MAC OS 10.6 i decided to turn on in System Preferences the time machine modus...I thought that should be done to access to the time machine menu and to drag all the old files that I backed up before the refreshing of the system. But what happened is, that time machine did a NEW back up and now when I'm entering time machine i can't see the old files...but only the new one...
Evene if i go to migration assistant and choose my time machine for backup and restore it happens that i freezes at the beginning...after putting in my time capsule password it says "connecting" and that's all...
The thing is that i doubt that my old files are gone, because the size of the sparsebundle file in time capsule is about 450 gb. But i don't know how to pick out the files right now...
PLease could anybody help me? i have all my files in there...pics and music...
Open Disk Utility (Applications>Utilities folder) and format the disk as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" with a single GUID partition. Your Mac should see the drive and you should be able to use if for backups, storage, etc.

I installed 10.56 and now Migration Assistant isn't working
I had 10.6 on my MBA and because Photoshop wasn't working properly I wanted to go back to 10.56.
So I made a clone using Superduper of my drive.
Then I installed the 10.56. I wiped the drive clean first. The Bootcamp partition didn't erase though.
I then restarted the computer and went to Migration assistant. However, it is stuck on installing the documents and it doesn't seem to move on though it says it takes a minute.
Also when I check the drive attached with the clone, on the user nic the folder has many files with a minus sign.
Should I be worried?
What should I do if the MA doesn't work?
Is it because I have gone down to a earlier operating system and my stuff (files I want to transfer) is on a higher operating system?if you are doing migration assistant where is the files coming from?
you cant do migration assistant out of an image made by a 3rd party. you can mount it and copy paste the content though or simply drag it -
Installed new itunes and now my ipod will not connect?

Hi atollmedic,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with your iPod being recognized since updating iTunes. The article linked below provides suggestions that will resolve most issues like the one you described.

WebTools Demo License installed and now sap clients can't connect.
Hi,
I have installed a WebTools Demo License on the SAP/SQL Server. Now, SAP Clients from the other computers cann't connect to SAP, the error is:
Connection Failed:
SQL State: 08001
SQL Server Error: 233
Best Regards,
Kafil Shumon.Hi Bryce,
Thanks very much for the reply. Somehow windows firewall got enabled and that's why we were not able to connect.
Now, I have already installed the "Demo WebTools License" for testing at the customer site. Now, how do I go back to the Initial "License Request" page so that a "test server license" can be requested?
Thanks,
Kafil Shumon. -
I recently installed Os Lion and now keep losing my internet connection, numerous times a day. Before the upgrade, I never had a connectivity issue. Can you advise me how to correct this problem?

Installed 10.1 and now can't access itunes store
Just installed 10.1 and now getting a message that "Itunes can not connect to the Itunes Store. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, then try again". I am connected to the internet. Made no changed to network settings. Reinstalled Itunes 10.1. No dice. No pop up blockers on. No software firewall. Next steps?
Interesting side note. I had posted to this forum earlier on the issue above - essentially a "me too, i'm also having problems with iTunes upgrade" - a post like many others I see in the forum. But I also copied in a letter I had sent to iTunes support when they failed to offer any solutions to my problem, and urged users to send something similar to iTunes if they were having problems as well - essentially to get Apple to own up and take responsibility. All I want is Apple to say, yes we recognize there is a problem and we're working to fix it.
iTunes support told me they were not aware of any problems with 7.6. As I read through the 100's of other posts on this site about problems I saw many people who got a similar message from Apple.
Apple promptly deleted my earlier post, and sent me an email saying that I was discussing Apple Policy, and that's not allowed apparently.
I'm wondering then - is it Apple Policy to deny technical problems that are obviously impacting many users? And when that's highlighted there response is to censor them?
I wonder if this post will get censored. I'm probably on their watch list.
Appreciate anyone helping with my problem, or echoing if you've had the same.

I have updated my iphone 4s with ios6 and now im not able to connect to itunes store. I can open the apps store but cannot install any app? Anyone facing the same issue..

have iphone 3gs v 4,2.1 i want to upgrade to ios 5 i will erase all data, how can i install again the software, and now my device can not be detect to my computer? what can i do? please help me..
You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1. -

Hi,
Wonder if someone has a suggestion for getting Migration assistant to recognize my external drive so that I can transfer some PC files from it to my MacBook Pro? I have been opening files in the drive with the Mac without a problem and I ran the diagnostics utility and the drive verified. Still, migration assistant spins and spins without finding anything. There's a lot of files and doing it manually with take days.
Thanks!Personally I have always used the manual method for moving my files over to a new iMac and never use Migration Assistant.
Go to the Apple drop down menu and select Force Quit.. and if Migration Assistant has failed, force quit it and try re-launching it again from your Applications Utility folder. -
I transferred files and photos from MacBook to iMac via ethernet cable and using migration assistant. However every time I transferred, it created a separate user and it transferred all files and photos again and again. So now I have 3 users accounts with all files and photos saved 3 times on same iMac !! Any idea how to avoid this ?
Yes, you ran into a very understandable problem.
When you use Migration Assistant, it cannot over-write the account that you happen to be using at the time. Upon migrating accounts, it will tell you that it is going to create a new one, but that message is easy to miss.
If you have three identical accounts, log in to the account you want to keep, and delete the redundant ones in System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Now that you know, the easiest way to migrate accounts is to use Setup Assistant when you first get a new Mac. That eliminates any possibility for this to occur, but most people are so eager to use their new Mac that they elect to migrate later.
That's OK too, but in that case you would want to create a temporary account whose sole purpose is to run Migration Assistant so that you may migrate your old one with an identical name. Be sure to give the new account Administrator privileges. When that finishes you would log in to the newly migrated account, and delete the temporary account. -

Migration assistant can't find external hard drive
I bought a Macbook Air and I can't move my files from the Time Machine created by my previous MacBook. Specifically, migration assistant can't find the external disk. I can see the external disc on the desktop, it's just the migration assistant that can't find it. I've done software update, I've attached and detached the external disk and restarted the Air in all imaginable combinations, migration assistant still can't see the external disk. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

That sounds like the Today (Now) display, the one that's show in full when you first Enter Time Machine. It's not a backup; it's the current contents of your Mac.
When I clicked on the 2nd window, it seems to be a back up from July 20, which I remember making on the old MacBook. It has one folder on it with my username.
Yes, that's a backup.
When I click on this folder, I find 4 folders inside it titled: Applications, Users, Library and System. I clicked on Applications and it was empty
That sounds like you'd excluded Applications from backups. Or else you didn't wait long enough for all the apps to be displayed.
sometimes the names of programs covered with a see-through "no parking" sign - a circle with a slash through it
That's an incompatible app.
Is this the Time Machine's records?
Yup.
Can I click on the July 20 date and click on restore? Will everything just come back on it's own?
No. You can restore individual items that way (if you have permission to them), but not a whole system. You can restore "simple" apps that way, too, but not "complex" ones -- ones that came with their own installers, because they install other files in other places. If you don't restore those other things too, the app won't work well, if at all.
Can you post a screenshot of the Migration Assistant window that should show your backups (something like this): -
I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes, and Itunes can't find my Ipad. [email protected]
Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

Migration Assistant can't find my external hard drive
I'm trying to set up my Mac Mini and it isn't working. Three steps into the process and already I'm locked up. I'm trying to migrate data from an external FireWire 400 drive. I have to use an adapter because the Mini only has a Firewire 800 port. That's not a problem because I've used the adapter several times and it works fine. The external drive is connected directly to the Mini and turned on. It's been turned on before I went into this mode. Now the Migration Assistant is hung up on Select The Source with a spinning circle and the Continue button is greyed out. I don't want to bypass this step and do everything manually because that's a nightmare and with my schedule it will likely drag out for months.
Can anyone help?Personally I have always used the manual method for moving my files over to a new iMac and never use Migration Assistant.
Go to the Apple drop down menu and select Force Quit.. and if Migration Assistant has failed, force quit it and try re-launching it again from your Applications Utility folder.
