Lost pictures in iWeb after migration to Snow Leopard

Dear Forum,
I recently upgraded my MacBook by inserting 4 GB RAM, a 500 Gb harddisc and a brand new snow leopard. Before I did this, I made a full time machine backup, so I would be able to get back to my initial state asap. This proved to have worked for everything, except for iWeb as I discovered yesterday evening:
All my sites and pages are still there, and even the pages with published videos are still intact, but none of the pictures (and this is infact the main content of my web page) do show...
All pictures are still in my iPhoto library so i did not expect this. Also all pages are now labeled as 'changed' so my next publishing routine would take forever (given the fact that I get all my pictures back) because I publish our Kindergarten pictures since 2005 through this site.
Any suggestions? Where does iWeb store the information about where to find those pictures?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Petra

Dear Old Toad,
I tried the first part of your suggestions, but no luck there. But doing so I suddenly thought of the fact that the situation has one other quite important issue I did not think of before:
My iPhote library and all the pictures used to be on a volume that was once the internal hard drive of my iMac that died two years ago. Since than I used this hard drive as an external drive for my MaBook (keeping the original user/pictures/ structure it always had.
After upgrading my MacBook I finally had enough room to store all material on the internal hard drive.
So I copied the content of my external Picture folder to the Picture folder of my hard drive. I use the same user name and after disconnecting the external drive I renamed the internal hard drive to the same name as the external and before the iMac used to have (iMac HD). After launching iPhoto all pictures where there and could be found in the finder by iPhoto so everything was fine so far. The same thing worked for iTunes. Only iWeb proves to have a problem. Do you still think the last part of your suggestions could work?
I tried reconnecting the original external disc, and if I do that, all pictures are visible as they used to be. The iPhoto library available in the media area is still the one from the internal hard drive though.
So, now you have the whole picture... any suggestions? Would there be a way to kind of import all pictures from the external drive into the iWeb file? I do not understand why some pictures (for the events and the blog pages with a video file on it) are stored within the package and others (all the picture pages) are not...
Thanks for any kind of advice!
Petra

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard to new iMac running Mountain Lion

Mail "unexpectedly quits" after migration from snow leopard time machine files to new iMac running Mountain Lion. I can run connection doctor OK. But the activity window is blank. If you try to open message viewer window then mail program crashes. Would really like to get my old emails back as the old imac is totally dead. Thanks for any help.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Did you turn on the Printer Sharing in the "Share" preferences panel?
And, for Windows computers to access your printer, they need to install "Bonjour for Windows", which is a part of the iTunes+Quicktime install package, I believe.
Alternatively, you can turn on SMB sharing on your Mac, which is also in the "Share" preferences panel. You first highlight and turn on "File Sharing", then there is an "Options..." button to the right, clicke it and check the checkbox of "Share files and folder via SMB (Windows)".

Iphoto wont start after migration from snow leopard to mountain lion

Hello everyone hope you can help me, I've migrate from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and my IPhoto (8.1.2) won't start, I cant reinstall from app store because it came with the copy of Snow Leopard already instaled on my Imac...And I cant find the original Disc, so anyone can help ? felling desperate...

You should be able to Software Update and that will bring your iPhoto up to date.
iPhoto was 9.2.3 at 10.6.8, so I don't know why yours was stuck at 8.1.2
However you can stick the #2 10.6 disk into your machine and should be able to run the bundled app installer.
If that doesn't work there is Pacifist from CharlesSoft that you can extract iPhoto and replace your corrupted one, then run Software Update to bring it current.
Once you have replaced iPhoto, rebuild the database

If your still having problems, perhaps a user account or drive permissions issue

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

Lost Links to MobileMe Gallery on iWeb after updating to Snow Leopard

I recently updated my OS to Snow Leopard. I appear to have lost all of my past iWeb links to my MobileMe Galleries. It is so frustrating. This is a lot of work from the past. All of the pictures still appear on Mobile Me Gallery but the iWeb site does not recognize them. The place where the pictures used to be now has a white box with text "Upload album or movie to MobileMe and then select it from this widget's menu." Why! When I try to use the MobileMe Gallery widget like I did in the past, it sees none of my galleries! Does anyone have any idea what is wrong? Thanks.
Here is what the page looks like now. You can see where the galleries used to be. --> http://web.mac.com/georgeparsons/TatnallRunPics/Home.html

Hi I just made one of my few visits to these forums because I had a problem kinda similar to yours. It was sending me nuts. Main indication of the problem was that when I went to add an album widgit it didn't show any of the albums I have in iphoto and no other fiddling back and forth republishing and the like fixed it. This was after working properly earlier in the day. I have just started to build a new website with iweb.
I then updated to the latest version of iweb, that is 3.0.1, and yes you guessed it, now its working fine. So just in case i thought i would mention what worked for me tho i see others with different fixes to the same problem. So this worked on my 2.4 MBP running 10.5.6 and iweb 3.0.1.
Good luck

ITunes, iPhoto and system clock crash after migrating from Snow Leopard

Hello everyone,
I had MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard but had to migrate to older one with 10.5.8 today.
After 4 hours it finished and everything seems fine except 3 things:
1. iTunes crashes on each launch attempt. I even followed an article to uninstall it, got a new one from apple.com but I still have the same issue.
2. iPhoto opens with success and shows folders overview, but when I click to enlarge a photo I get a blank screen. After about 2 minutes the program quits unexpectedly.
3. System clock behaves really strange. It seems to ignore time zone settings completely. I select Melbourne, Australia and quit Sys preferences but when I get there back I still have GMT time. Setting manually gives me nothing - time of email is still GMT.
Anyone have seen similar problems after migrating? My primary guess is that this issues are caused by migrating to older Mac OS version, but maybe it's not the point. Anyway, would be great to have this fixed. Without iPhoto, iTunes and proper times in e-mail inbox my Mac is pretty useless...

I installed this update, restarted but nothing helped. By permissions - what do you exactly mean, how could they change or what could be broken?
I also noticed that what is broken as well are the PYM Player and Quick Time. When I open a movie, I got the sound but no video output at all. It is similar to iPhoto where I see the miniatures but normal size viewing goes blank.
Does anyone has a clue what can be broken that causes such problems?
My Mac is now really just an e-mailing and surfing machine...

TS1963 DMS Launch error after migration from snow leopard iMac to new Macbook Pro?

I just purchased a Macbook Pro. I used Migration assistant to transfer my files from my '06 iMac, which was running snow leopard to the Macbook and at start up now get a DMS Launch error every time... any suggestions??
The error message says check with the developer to make sure DMS Launch works on this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application.
I have installed all updates as it suggests, to no avail. I keep getting the error message and report pop up box each time at start up and the only way to be rid of it, is to click ok to send the report - there is no option to stop the report from coming up.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to stop the error message appearing and resolve the issue?
Thanks

Lost all ical appointments after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Yes, I like Snow Leopard, but it seems to have wiped iCal clean.
Not so nice.

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro Intel laptop to Snow Leopard, and my iCal lost my "personal" and "family" calendars. There is no longer any content in those calendars in username/library/iCal - but there is in "work", "vacation", and another custom calendar. These events in these calendars have also disappeared from MobileMe, with the exception of about 4 or 5 random events over the past couple of years (out of probably thousands in those two calendars over several years, as these were loaded from an Outlook calendar in 2006). Interestingly, all my recent events in the missing calendars are still on my iPhone.
I tried the com.apple.iCal.plist on the desktop suggestion, but this did not recover any content. Any suggestions? Even some ideas about why just these two calendars (with the bulk of my content this year) have been affected, not the others? Very strange (not to mention very frustrating, as I'll have to recreate all of that content, it seems). Thanks.

Mailboxes not visible after migration to Snow Leopard

I've upgraded my Mac mini from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
In my Mail, I had external mailboxes located to a Mac OS X server.
I don't know how I can get back my mailboxes without having to import the mailboxes.
Do I have to edit the com.apple.mail.plist manually ?
Regards,
Dominique

I've checked my previous com.apple.mail.plist and the section
ActiveViewers/0/AttachedMailboxListExpandedItems
contains the same items.
Ie:
0 : /Volumes/doahome/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Advanced Dedicated Software.mbox
1 : /Volumes/doahome/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Advanced Dedicated Software/Clients.mbox
28 : /Volumes/doahome/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Kadeo/Server/Support Site.mbox
But these mailboxes are not displayed in Mail.
Why ????
Thank you for your help,
Dominique

Login error after migration from Snow Leopard to Lion

I went through the migration process to get all settings and data over from my MacBook (10.6.8) to my new Mac Pro (10.7.3). During the migration, I was logged into the old MacBook with my FileVault-enabled account. Migration completed successfully, but when I tried to log into the new Mac Pro, I got this error:
"You are unable to log in to the FileVault user account "user1" at this time. Log in to the account failed because an error occurred." [OK]
When I typed a password I knew was incorrect, the login box would do the familiar shaking. When I typed the correct password, I got the behavior above.
I was able to log in to the new Mac Pro as a different user (user2), even though user2 also had FileVault enabled on the old system.
When logged in as user2 on the new system, I was able to escalate privileges by authenticating as user1, so I knew the password for user1 was working. I gave user2 admin privileges and saw that user1's data had been copied over, but not as a sparsebundle - presumably because user1 was logged in at the time of migration.
To fix the login problem, I did the following:
1) Logged in as user2 on both source and target system, then escalated privs to give user2 admin rights.
2) Copied /Users/user1/user1.sparsebundle from source to target system:
     - On target system, in System Preferences -> Sharing, enabled Remote Login for user2
     - On source system, opened Terminal window and typed:
     $ sudo -s
     > [password for user2]
     # cd /Users/user1
     # scp -rp user1.sparsebundle user2@IP_address:
    (where IP address is the actual IP address of the target system)
     > [password for user2]
3) Moved aside the unencrypted files in user2's home directory:
     - On target system, logged in as user2, in Terminal:
     $ sudo -s
     > [password for user2]
     # chown -R user1 ~/user1.sparsebundle
     # mkdir /tmp/user1
     # chown user1 /tmp/user1
     # cd /Users/user1
     # mv * /tmp/user1
     # mv .[a-zA-Z]* /tmp/user1
4) Moved the user1.sparsebundle into place (in same Terminal window on target system):
     # chown -R user1 ~/user1.sparsebundle
     # mv ~/user1.sparsebundle /Users/user1
5) Logged out of user2 account and logged back in as user1
6) Securely deleted the unencrypted files for user1 (in Terminal window as user1):
     $ srm -rf /tmp/user1
Many thanks to @neirbowj for the analysis of why the migration failed!

Go get a powered USB hub and try that. Lion may have issued a fix for devices drawing too much power, by cutting them off.

I lost my i-tunes online purchase after upgrade to snow leopard...

Awesome. I had a feeling it could still be there. I'm very happy for you!
Two things you can do now:
1.) Add all of these files into iTunes by using "Add to Library" and selecting the iTunes Media folder. This is the easiest method, but you lose your original iTunes settings, playlists, play counts, ratings, etc.
2.) A slightly more advanced method however will let you salvage your iTunes library and restore it the way it was before. Use finder to look at Music/iTunes/Previous iTunes Libraries. In that folder, check to see if there is one dated near today's date (or when the reset happened to you). If there is a very recent one, you can restore to that date. What you'll want to do is take that file, and MOVE it back up one level to the iTunes folder.
Currently in your iTunes folder is a file named iTunes Library (this is the active, and blank one) and now you should have the dated one as well. You can DELETE the iTunes Library one, and rename the dated one "iTunes Library".
Then hold OPTION while loading iTunes, and when asked to choose a library, select Choose Library, and navigate to Music/iTunes, and pick the "iTunes Library" file you just moved and renamed.
If all goes well, your songs, playlists, ratings, and etc. should all be back to the way it was. Just do "Add to Library" and select the iTunes Media folder to make sure nothing was excluded between the backup and your copy before it reset.
Hope this helps!

Please help, After mac 10.5.8 mail server migrated to snow leopard server?

Hi,
All my old emails date has changed to the date on which i migrated to snow leopard server, all the old emails show as they arrived on 31st of Dec 2009.
How do I fix it. Very Very important to me to have the arrived date.
Please help
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

here is a link of other users having wrong date problems after upgrading to 10.6
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2134525
Some people have managed to fix their date problems. The easiest workaround is to add the column "Date Sent" under (View->Columns->Date Sent) in mail.app and to sort by the send date not the received date.
Hope this helps

Airport connections lost after upgrade to Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I am no longer able to connect to the Internet wirelessly. I have had to resort to connect via wired connection. I have tried to reconfigure the connection. It finds my wireless network, but when I type in my password it says it is not correct. I know it is an issue with Snow Leopard as it worked fine prior to the upgrade and my other devices connect with no problem.

Go into Displays Preferences and, if you haven't already done so previously, put a checkmark in the box for "Show displays in menu bar". Then, click on the resulting icon that shows up in the menu bar to drop the menu and select "Number of Recent Items" and set it to 10. Now drop the menu a second time and see if there are two 1920 x 1080 resolutions. If so, one of them may be the older one previously in use that was working.
