IPhoto a complete mess after data transfer

My 5yr old MacBook recently quit on me, and I had to buy a new one. I had The Geek Squad do a data transfer to my new MacBook. They had some issues with Time Machine corrupting during the transfer and eventually had to take apart my old Book to directly access my harddrive. I now have my new MacBook, but my iPhoto is not nicely organized like it was before. It has put all my 4,888 photos taken between 4/1/11 - 8/2/11 into one Event. All of their photo info seems to be intact, so I'm not sure why they weren't split into events by date. The iPhoto on my new Book is a bit different than the one on my old one (it took me forever to even figure out how to see the photo info), so maybe I'm just not looking in the right place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, FYI, I'm no computer genius, so please "speak" to me in simple terms.

OMGosh, thank you so much! That was it! All fixed and all good. I have a lot to learn with my new iPhoto. This may seem extreme, but <<hugs>> to you.

Insert step after data transfer is complete within TDMS package

Hello,
we want to start some jobs after data transfer is complete within TDMS package. For example we want to start the function DELETE_DATA_FOR_ALL_MI_DEVICES. Is this possible or is it possible to start any ABAP report or batchjob?
Kind regards,
Karlheinz

Dear Karlheinz,
It is possible starting DMIS SP07 where you will find an option on the process tree in the work center that says 'Customize Monitor'. This option will you guide through creation of new activities, deletion of existing activities. You have to however create a Z report that pertains to the new activity and maintain some activity definitions.

GarageBand error after data transfer that states "This song requires a newer version of GarageBand. Please update to the latest version of GarageBand before opening this song". Please Help!

I recently had a data transfer from my older mac to my newer one. After the transfer I logged into my new account and opened up my GarageBand. It worked perfectly fine, however when I logged into my old account with all my older data that I just transferred over, I could not open my GarageBand files and there is an error that states "GarageBand error after data transfer that states "This song requires a newer version of GarageBand. Please update to the latest version of GarageBand before opening this song".If anyone could please help me with this issue, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank You!

When you transferred your data from your old mac, you may have accidentally transferred an older GarageBand version and either overwritten your newer version, or your old account still has the old GarageBand icon in the Dock.
Search with SpotLight, if you have more than one Garageband version on your new Mac (type "GarageBand" into the SpotLight search field). Does it list more than one GarageBand version? Then delete the older GarageBand.app.
What GarageBand version have you been using at your old mac, and what is the version on your new mac? If it has been bought recently, it should have come with GarageBand '11.

IPhoto in MacBook Pro 2013 only shows "place holders," but no photos, after data transfer from Macbook Air 32011

I am trying to transfer data from my MacBook Air 2011 to a "new" MacBook Pro 2013. Both are running Yosemite 10.10.2. Since Migration Assistant WOULD NOT WORK (the MacBook Air couldn't "see" the MacBook Pro), using my WiFi network, I transferred the necessary data to a 500GB drive and THEN to the MacBook Pro. However, two programs didn't transfer well - or at all! iTunes only transferred the Music (Media?) files, but not iTunes U, Podcasts, Audiobooks, etc. I have had to drill down into the storage files, retrieve the non-transferred files and add them, one by one - a most laborious task. But, this is nothing compared to the problem with iPhoto (9.6), which shows only 6 events and 4 Faces transferred, with the rest only place holders (black boxes and grey dotted squares) in all the folders in my iPhoto.
I "Showed Package Contents," and found the missing files - of which there are many! - and started adding them, again, one by one.
Can anyone tell me what happened to my iPhoto (Yosemite 10.10.2)? It's fine on my MacBook Air, but simply WON'T TRANSFER to my MacBook Pro?
PLEASE - someone tell me how to CORRECTLY transfer my iPhoto files and/or HOW TO MAKE THE MACBOOK AIR "SEE" THE MACBOOK PRO in Migration Assistant?

Hello Mary,
Sorry to hear that you are having issues with moving your data over to your new Mac. There are a few alternatives that you can do to migrate that data if you are not seeing it in Migration Assistant. The first is make a Time Machine back up to that 500 Gb external hard drive and then use that in Migration Assistant to copy the entire data over. If you do that you will want to remove any data that you have on your MacBook Pro after the transfer completes as it will create another user with the data from the MacBook Air. Another option is to use a Thunderbolt Cable that you can purchase online if you want and use the option from another disk to copy that over. Take a look at the articles below for more details.

We can see thumbnails of horizontal photos but can't see full size photos after data transfer to new mac

hello,
We just updated to a new mac from a 7 year old Mac because the logic board died. =The Apple reseller did a data transfer and now we cannot see full size photos on our new screen. We see the thumb nails but when we try to open a photo in the photo section of the library we get a black screen with an exclaimation mark. How do we fix this?
thanks!

When you first boot your new Mac, it will boot into Setup Assistant. It will walk you through registration and then ask you if you want to migrate. Choose the disk you want to migrate from and choose all settings. No newer apps will be overwritten with older ones. No third party software will be lost. Although you should check compatiblity of apps with ML.

Complete mess after upgrading to 4.1

Hi all.
I have an Oracle XE 11g installation with Apex 4.0 and just performed an upgrade following instructions from section:
"Downloading from OTN and Configuring the Embedded PL/SQL Gateway".
I have successfully performed the upgrade, but now, everything is a real mess:
- Can't access any page or application apex, apex_admin, XE startup page.... Anything at all.
- Can't even stop an start database from the menu.
For example, if i try to access XE main page, this error pops up:
Error ERR-1014 Application not found.
application=4950 workspace=10
OK
- Can't access any workspace application.
- Can't access Oracle Database Administration page...
- ANYTHING AT ALL....
What have i done wrong ...?
Another error i get is this one:
Workspace has no privileges to parse as schema
Best regards, Luis ....!

Device not seen in itunes after data transfer

I bought an original MacBookPro from my daughter & transferred all my data from PB G4 to MBP.
Everything works just fine, except itunes does not see my ipod touch. I cannot figure out how to get it "recognized" as a device?
Any suggestions?

Hello.
Try the following suggestions below
1. Perform all Software Updates - Click on Apple logo in top left corner of the OS and choose Software Updates. It will scan the mac and then populate a list of software that needs updating including iTunes if there is any at all.
2. Connect iPod Touch to another USB Port in the Macbook Pro, If it still does not show up, Disconnect the touch. Reboot the Mac, then reconnect the touch.

The iBook does not have a backup (PRAM) battery. It only has the main battery and a small capacitor which maintains the settings long enough to do a battery swap. If the battery is dead, what you are seeing can happen.
If the battery is not a problem (or even if it is), you could try resetting the PMU and see if that helps.

Data Transfer has shot up 10 times after upgrade t...

Hi Skype Team/Community,
Data Transfer rate has shot upto 10 times after upgrade to 7.2.0.103 today.
Where it used to be ~350Kbps upload and ~500Kbps download for a three-member video conference, it is now ~2.5Mbps upload and ~3.5 Mbps download for the same three-member video conference.
Is there a way to switch back to the previous version?
Please help!!

No one seems to like my post enough to reply, but I've found two more-recent questions with responses that were very similar.
See
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2134852
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2133251
Sadly, neither of these posts provide any answers (as of 9/4/09). It seems there's a problem with some cameras and iPhoto and Snow Leopard. The only helpful advice was to use a USB card reader which doesn't make sense in my case since the EX-S500 has it's own dock specifically for transferring pictures. Oh well, I guess I'll wait and see if Apple fixes this in 10.6.1.

After data recovery, HD is a mess

I recently had my hard drive die on my powermac G5 and my Clickfree external backup hard drive also failed. Sob!
I sent the dead drive to a data recovery service and they say they restored everything. Send back my restored data on an external hard drive for $1,700. Meantime, I installed a used HD from my husband's former powermac G5 and moved the restored data onto it. Now, my HD is a mess and I still can't find all my files.
For example, I have several user files, each with a documents folder in it. Probably because it was formerly in my husband's computer, with its own pictures, documents, etc.
I also can't find all my iphoto library in the restored data. Some of this is probably an issue for the data recovery folks, but I thought I would ask if there is a document somewhere on how the HD should be organized, so I can start cleaning up and maybe find my missing files. And where should the iphoto library reside?

Still working through all my stuff. Occasionally I find something else.
Many of my restored files lost their file extension and came through as a "unix executable file." I have successfully reattached the correct extensions and been able to reopen the files.
I have even found most of my iphotos. They are in my pictures folder, buried in deep within several iterations of "iphoto library" folders and they're in 2 folders titled "originals" and "modified." Can I just drag those folders into the first iphoto library folder?
I would also love to find my Safari and Firefox favorites. Where should I look for those?

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location. After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

I may have found an answer here:

They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

IPhoto won't open after clean install followed by Time Machine restoration of data.

Hello.
I've just completed a clean install of OS X Yosemite followed by a restoration of my data from a Time Machine backup on my Mid 2010 iMac i3 3.2GHz.
Since the install iPhoto will no longer open. The icon in the dock bounces for a short while and then I receive the following error: iPhoto cannot be opened because of a problem. It then shows problem details and system configuration, the top part of which I post below:

I then get a long list of binary image data which I haven't posted here (but can if required).
I believe the version of iPhoto I have is 9.6 as that update was installed a short while before I did the clean install of the OS.
I would try reinstalling the iPhoto again but cannot see a way to uninstall or to download again from the app store.
Has anybody seen this behaviour before and/or know of a fix or workaround so I can get my iPhoto program working again please?
Many thanks for your time.
Alex

Looking at that report I would reinstall iPhoto as a first step:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Help me find ghost files after botched data transfer

I just bought a new MacBook. While setting up the OS upon first boot, I hooked up my old machine (which had a dead LCD, hence the new machine) for the data transfer. Well, after a solid hour+ of data transfer over firewire, there was an error, after which the old machine didn't seem to be a valid source of data transfer for the OS.
So I boot up the new machine and none of my files appear to have transferred. Ok, I can transfer important things by hand, so it's no problem. I boot the old machine holding down T and it appears as a mounted volume, from which I copy my files.
Here's the issue: that first, failed attempt to transfer files left "ghost" files somewhere eating up my HD space. Ie, if I sum up the size of all my files and folders in the / directory, they add up to around 60 Gb, which seems reasonable given all my music and such. But if I look at my main partition volume in Disk Utility, it claims I'm using a full on 179 Gb, which is totally unreasonable.
So there's around 120 Gb of "ghost" usage laying around. How do I track it down?

Log out and then into the newly created user account. To transfer them, choose Go to Folder from the FInder's Go menu, provide /Users/Shared/ as the path, and drag them there.
