HT1338 What do I do if the Mac I am trying to import files into is telling me that the Migration Assistant on my other computer (Mac OS X 10.4.11), need to be updated - but I already checked for Software Updates and it said they were up to date?

I am mainly concerned with trying to import my iTune Library into my new MacBook Pro.
I don't want to lose all my tunes!

Assuming you have an optical drive in or connected to your MBP, the easiest way to go is to do a backup of your existing iTunes library to DVDs (you may need several) . In iTunes 9, this is done with selecting File->Library->Back Up to Disc... and following the directions. I do not see that capability in the current iTunes, though, but if one is using Tiger, one is limited to iTunes 9.
When the discs are burned, mounting any of the discs on the MBP should cause iTunes (you may need to have it up) to ask if you want to import the files. It goes pretty smoothly, or at least it has for me in Mt. Lion and Win-7. It's a little involved but it does work.

Having issue trying to import large (23min) clip into iMovie 08 and FCEx 4.0.1

Through my iMac 2.0GHz 2GB ram, Intel Core Duo using OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Try to no success to import a 23 min AVCHD clip into either
iMovie 08 or FCEx 4.0.1. I know my mac, OS and software are antiquated by today's current editions, but that said never had this issue before.
Footage was shot with Sony NX5u camera using SDHC (class 10) media. The event I shot has 54 video clips on the card. All but this large clip
will import. So I don't think it's some kinda of file structure issue. Otherwise I think none of the clips would have imported into to either editing program.
Each (iMovie 08 and FCEx) will begin the import process for this large clip. iMovie begins to import, but in the end only 11:28 of the full 23 min. get imported.
FCEx after beginning to import eventually aborts the import. I know in the past I've been able to import long clips (15-20min) with no issues. Maybe
someone here has a solution. Dare I say I need to bump my ram up to 6GB, upgrade to Yosemite, upgrade to latest iMovie or FCPX. Considered trying
Adobe Premier. Right now I'm wide open for any suggestions on how to tackle this problem.

Hi M
First thing that comes to mind is - Have You just installed FinalCut on
Your Mac. There are a known problem with this so that You have to
go to Library folder and move out FCE or pro files to make share back
to camera to work in iMovie.
my notes:
This can happen with iMovie 3 or iMovie 4. This does not occur with iMovie HD 5.0.
The solution is to temporarily move the following files from /Library/QuickTime / to the Desktop:
Final Cut Pro HD
? DesktopVideoOut.component
? DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component
Final Cut Express HD
? DesktopVideoOut.component
Restart the computer and try exporting from iMovie to your camera.
When you need to use Final Cut Pro HD or Final Cut Express HD again, drag these files back to /Library/QuickTime / and restart the computer.

I'm really not sure what you mean here. You're on the Mac App Store forums... What is it exactly you are trying to do?

Mac Startup Issues- tried EVERYTHING.

I have tried everything, I have followed the Apple Support article on start up issues and I'm still not getting anywhere, I have tried the following:
Booting from Installation Disc and running the Disk Utility, when I try to repair the permissions, they appear to be repairing but after I Verify Disk, the permissions still differ.
Running fsck in single-user mode.
Running in verbacose mode, I get a large string of error messages, I don't know if they'll be any use to anybody?
Repairing the disk.
Everything it says on the article page I have followed to a T and my MacBook still won't load past the grey screen with the Apple logo, irregularly I boot to the blue screen, in which it changes from a dark blue to a light blue on a loop.
I cannot boot into Safe Mode either. I've tried to re-install the Mac OS X, but there is a tiny scratch on the disc and it refuses to install past 27%. Would Apple send me another disc? Or is there somewhere I could download it?
If anyone has any ideas please help!

If you no longer have your Leopard Install DVD, you may be able to obtain it from Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2775.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available. If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

You will need the above in order to run the Repair Disk option.

I just bought Mac Book pro; trying to hook up dual monitor with Samsung syncmaster 2033 but no signal; I am using dvi to hdmi converter. Please assist.

I just purchased a Macbook Pro but unable to set up dual display with samsung syncmaster 2033 via DVI to HDMI port.
Thank you in advance for help.

There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

I have already tried compressed air. No luck. How will I be able to get the cleaning disk in to load if I can't load a regular cd?
How will i be able to get the business card in far enough to reach the inner area where the optics probably are located?
Cleaning discs will load. On a MBP that has never been cleaned, run the cleaning 2-3 times. If you use the slot a lot, use the cleaning disc about every 3 months.

10.6.2 Font Book issues

I've been searching hi and low for another post that might have the same problems, but to no avail. After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.2, the PostScript font issue I'd been experiencing (like many others) seemed to go away. About 2 weeks ago, however, suddenly some of my fonts were no longer working? At first they were still in Font Book (and enabled), but wouldn't show up in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. When I checked the font files in the Finder, the file size was zero K. Strange.
So I deleted the files (from the Finder via Font Book), and tried to import the fonts back into font book after copying them over from a backup server, however, when I copy the font files from the server to my Desktop, the files go from 8 K (on the server) to zero K on my Desktop. So, of course, Font Book can't recognize the files as valid font files and can not import the fonts. Strange. The zero K files show up in my Library (at zero K), but they don't show up in Font Book.
Thoughts?

I know I'm late to the party but wanted to share my experiences. First off, thank you all - this discussion helped me immensely!
I was forced to upgrade to 10.6.2 after my my old mac mini began dying. I had been running a beige G3/System 9 and a Mac mini/10.4 networked together. I had all of my fonts stored on the G3. As you know, Macs no longer speak AppleTalk, so I was unable to connect to my G3 to copy over the fonts. I finally connected using the server connection (go->connect to server). When I copied over my type 1 fonts, the suitcases all showed up, but I was unable to install them. Another thread mentioned Font Explorer. I tried that and it didn't work either. I couldn't understand why there was a problem; I had updated to 10.6.3 and everyone said that fixed the font issues. I spoke to Apple support and they didn't know what was happening. (Actually the first guy blamed it on third party software - the fonts - and said it wasn't their problem. ***?!?!?!?) The 2nd guy was helpful, but had to escalate it. I was waiting for a callback when I found this thread and went to check out my font folders. Yep - zero k. But they were ok on my G3. Then I saw the last post about not being able to store type 1 fonts on a Windows server because they'd lose information. So I began wondering if having to connect to my G3 as a server affected the transfer of the fonts. Since my CD burner was down on the G3, I had to go back to port them over to my old dying mini on the AppleTalk network and then transfer them using target disk mode. Bingo. That was it. All fonts safe and sound. I'm sure this was a rare problem, but it's so bizarre that I had to share in case someone else can use my experience!

Quicktime in mac book and imac

when i try and open a video clip with my mac book it opens as a text file but when i try and open it with the imac it opens and plays the file..what am i doing wrong with the mac book when trying to open these files.... is there a setting i haven't done correctly or what... we recently switched from pc and laptop to mac and both macs were purchased within the past month... thanks in advance for any help

Does the video work if you first launch QuickTime Player and then select the video though Player's Open command?
If it does, then you just need to associate that type of file with QuickTime Player. Locate the video in Finder, click in it once to highlight it, then select Get Info from the File menu. Look in the window that will open for a section titled "Open with:". In that section you'll see a pulldown menu that probably now says "Text Edit" or something other than QuickTime Player. Click on the menu, select QuickTime Player, and click the "Change All..." button. That should do the trick.
If you can't open the video even when using the Open command in QuickTime Player, post back with details about the video (at least the file name extension - .mov, .wmv, or whatever) and we'll take it from there.
Regards.

Looking for external hard drive for Mac book air

I'm looking for a external hard drive for my Mac book air

What features are important to you?
Size?
Capacity?
Speed?
Price?
Reliability?
HDD or SSD?
Desktop or portable?
Just about any USB external drive will function properly, with only a few exceptions. I would avoid the Toshiba Canvio using USB 3.0, as it has been the topic for numerous threads here wherein users have had problems using them with the MacBook Air.
My personal favorite external HDD right now is the Seagate GoFlex, as I can use them with the Thunderbolt adapter. But I have been eyeing the new LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt.
For super speed, I use a Crucial model M4, either using the Seagate Thunderbolt adapter, or I have some mounted in USB 3.0 housings.

I have been trying to import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. Did not have trouble until I upgraded to mavericks. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, iMovie 10.0.2. Says it is recording, but when I go to check, it says the file is empty.

I have been trying import VHS video into iMovie via a Hollywood Dazzle bridge. I have been successful doing this in the past, but now it is not working. I have a mac book pro, 10.9.1, (mavericks), iMovie 10.0.2. Everything in iMovie looks like it is working. It reads "recording" in the upper left hand corner of the pane while the video is playing. When I stop the process to check on my clip it says that the file is empty. The only thing that has changed since I did it successfully is that I upgraded to mavericks from whatever I had previously. My system is about one year old. Any suggestions?

Hey, Clinton,
     Thanks for your help! I was able to go to iMovie 9.0.9 and import video. I was still curious as to why it didn't work in version 10.0.2, so I contacted Apple tech support. They were't sure at first as to why it wouldn't work, so they had me delete iMovie 10.0.2 and then re-install it just to see if something had gone wrong when it upgraded. That didn't change anything. In the end, they determined that 10.0.2 doesn't support the Hollywood Dazzle DV bridge. But I have a workaround path from them that I will share so that it's possible to import to 9.0.9, then move it to 10.0.2.
     1. Open iMovie 9 (finder/applications/iMovie 9.0.9
     2. Import from Dazzle Bridge to iMovie 9, note which event you are importing the clips into
     3. Close iMovie 9
     4. Open iMovie 10 (probably in the dock)
     5. File/Import Media...navigate to home(this was my name, on the left side of iMovie, under Favorites)/Movies/iMovie events. Find the event folder that contains your Dazzle clips (tip-try sorting by date modified to look at recent events.)
     6. Select the clips and import. Click the blue "Import Selected" button on the bottom right.
You may get a message that some files cannot be imported. Click continue import. It's a little glitchy. It imports your clip, and also makes a copy of it, too. On the copy, the audio is normal, but the video is choppy. In any case, you would delete the copy, anyway.
Hope this additional information helps somebody else. Thanks again, Clinton for helping me!

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when i try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported

I'm trying to import contacts from Outlook to Mac address book. I've exported as a CSV but when I try to open with the Address book import tool, the file is greyed out and can't be imported. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ian

If you can't get the exported .csv file to work you might consider using Migration Assistant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518, particular if you need to move more than just your contacts. There is some granularity in the options on what to transfer but I'm not sure if you can choose to just your migrate contacts.

My new iPod Classic will not sync with my new Mac Book. My iPhone 5 does, so does 2nd gen. iPod touch. Apple Store cannot figure it out. Tried different Classics on different Macs, same thing. iTunes update issue ?

The iPod Classic I bought a month ago is not synching with my new Mac Book I bought 3 weeks ago. All the software was immediately updated. My iPhone 5 synchs fine, and so does my 2nd generaton iPod Touch. The original computer I synched all of these devices on was my HP latop. I bought my Mac and Classic to the Apple Store for a 'Genius Appt' and they could not figure out what the problem is. The connected my Classic to another computer and the same thing happens. It says device is not recognized. They also took other iPod Classics and connected them to my Mac and other Macs. The same thing was happening. They took notes and said it probably is an iTunes update issue.
I can manually drag songs into my Classic but I lost all playlists because it cannot be backed up as well and they had to restore it. For now I am holding on to it but it's usless to me if I cannot use it the way I liked too. I used it for the gym and bike riding and my last iPod battery died after 6 years. A charge would last 45 miutes. I love the Classic for what I use it for but it's a $275 brick to me now. At least the renewed by receipt so I can get a full refund.
Is anyone else seeing this issue ? The Apple Store employee said he saw a first generation iPad havng the same issue. As of now the Support Dest is unaware of this. As much as I love my new Mac I am disappointed I cannot sync my new Classic to it. Total bummer.
Any help would be apprecated.

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.
