Migrate account from MBR to MBA not posible!?

I have a MBR 15" and my wife a MBA 13". My wife started to use some 3d software so we decided to switch. Of course i had 2 time machine hdd. So i started the migration. First i migrated my wife account from MBA to MBR. Worked fine. But when i inserted my time machine in the MBAir the latest backup is from December 2012. So my time machine from jan to july 2013 aren't displayed in the backups list.
I must mention that the method that i used is command + R when booting, entered in recovery mode and selected the first method: restore from Time machine.
Then i went in mac os and tried the migration Assistant software. Again MBA doesn't find my profile from the MBR in the.
Anyone tried this !?

Hi Brent,
If the originating MacBook is using Mail 2.x or Mail 3.x (which has to be the case) then you only need to transplant the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences and the Mail folder from Home/Library to replace any that may exist (but probable don't yet) on the iMac. No migration utility needed at all, and Mail will open just where it was on the MacBook, with all accounts and messages present.
The same can be done with the AddressBook folder from Home/Library/Applications Support.

How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !

If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

Problem migrating account from one active directory domain to another. Using NetBIOS

Hello,
I'm migrating a Lion machine from one domain to another. When I try to join it to abc.example.com it joines it to 123.example.com in the list of domains. 123.example.com is the NetBIOS name of abc.example.com. This configuration does not work.
What is even more strange, is if I go into the Open Directory Utility > Active Directory to set the create mobile account settings, once I apply the settings (or even if I don't apply the settings) when I get back to the list of domains, it show BOTH abc.example.com and 123.example.com as domains I am joined to. If I remove 123.example.com it removes abc.example.com.
I've only seen this problem one other time and this was with a snow leopard machine that was not bound to AD. I upgraded it to Lion and tried to bind it, and had the exact same thing occur.
I'm certain there is a "stuck" setting somewhere that is causing this. I have had successful snow leopard > lion upgrades work, and many lion machines joined to AD so this does work normally. Just not sure whats wrong or really where to look.
The OS is fully patched and updated to the current version.
Any thoughts?

Case 1:
Here you can written pre-update event handler which will check whether minor and major org code changed or not.
If changed then first starts de-provisioning and then start provisioning.
If not changed then do nothing.
This approach will not transfer accounts from one domain to another but it will create fresh accounts and remove accounts from old domain.
Case2:
If you want to transfer accounts from one domain to another in that on pre-update you have to change OU of user on process which automatically move to another domain.
but not sure about exchange it is possible to move to another domain.
hopping that all domains under same forest otherwise same Connector Sever will not work.

I have transactions from my bank account from itunes that is not from me how can I resolve this? I cannot find a link or help on the itunes website for this? Many thanks

Hi there
Please can anyone advise? I have had a couple of transactions from my bank account, one for around £28, not from me, then there was a strange
refund of £9.17! I have searched iTunes website for help with this, but can`t seem to find any help with this matter! Will phone bank but I don`t
think they`ll offer much help as I have an itunes account set up! I know I can call a telephone number itunes provide, but don`t want to pay big charges!
Many thanks!

First of all this is not the forum to be discussing this. Second, these are user-to-user forums and Apple does not have a support presence here. Since this involves a disputed payment you need to contact Apple directly for resolution.

Problems migrating accounts from tiger to leopard

I have been attempting to migrate my company's open directory from tiger server over to leopard. the method i have taken to do this is to use ldapsearch to retrieve the ldif from the old directory. and ldapadd to add it to the new directory. Before importing into the new, i went thru and replaced the authAuthority strings in the ldif with the key from the new server via "mkpassdb -key" the accounts appear in WGM, however if i browse to an account i only see "Basic", "Privileges", and "Advanced" as options. I can however get all the tabs to show up if i kill WGM, relaunch it, and look at an account. but after i look at one, they all revert to showing me only the 3 tabs. I have one account that existed in the new directory before the import and it behaves as normal.
since the import i have also noticed alot of this in the logs:
Feb 11 16:14:41 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
Feb 11 16:15:20 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
Feb 11 16:15:50 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)
Feb 11 16:16:22 finder slapd[40]: <= bdbsubstringcandidates: (authAuthority) index_param failed (18)

Hi
Archive the LDAP Database, do the upgrade/install to Leopard. Make sure your DNS config is the same as it was when the server was 10.4.11. Spend time on this and test this thoroughly. In fact don’t start any other service until you have this as it should be. Promote to OD Master, use the same details for the Directory Administrator (diradmin) account that you used before and restore the LDAP Database. All Users, Groups, Computer Lists, MCX and passwords should be retained.
The manual is correct in saying that Users passwords are not retained when exporting from WGM. However it should not be a problem (if the first method does not work) to select all relevant users and define a policy forcing users to change their passwords next time they login. Saves you the finger work. You could also inform your users what you wish them to use or the form the passwords should take.
Hope this helps, Tony

Migrate accounts from solaris-8 to solaris-10

Hi,
first excuse my english :-p
I have two mail servers (), the oldest (enterprise 250) runs under solaris-8, the newest (enterprise 450) runs under solaris-10.
I am going to transfer users e-mail accounts, I use the /etc/password and /etc/shadow for authentication, so I don't know how to transfer users passwords from solaris-8 to solaris-10
I tried to copy one user's pass from shadow file into the nes server but it doesn't work
any idea???
thanks

Upgrades from either Solaris 8 or 9 are supported (see the Release Notes http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0552 section on "Changes in Upgrade Support for Solaris Releases").
As for whether to upgrade or install anew, it depends. If you just want to have the system set up as much as possible like it is now except with the new OS, upgrade. If you'd like a chance for a fresh start, where you may have to do some work re-applying configuration and other changes you made, but end up leaving behind some old changes you no longer need, then an initial install might be appropriate.

Can I manage my ATT cellular data account from a website and not from my device?

I have an iPad2 (iOS 7.0.6) with an ATT cellular data plan for 2GB for 30 days. Received a usage alert that I only have 0.4 GB left for the remaining 11 days in the billing period. Settings/Cellular Data/Account (after logging in) only gives macro information about the total usage.
Is there a way to get more detail about cellular data usage? Like broken down between email, streaming music, web surfing, etc? The website www.att.com/att/datacalculator lets you make estimates, but is there a way to use this itemized format to see your actual usage?
Also, is there a way to manage my Cellular Data account online without using the iPad (and without having to suffer through a customer support voice menu that probably won't let me talk to a live person)? I tried going to www.attwireless.com and using my iPad cellular data account login info there, but the site said I couldn't monitor the device from there (I can only use it for our cellphones). I'm now in a data conservation mindset and am afraid that accessing the cellular data account to modify the data plan is going to swallow all the remaining data for the month.

The AT&T web site may not break it down, but iOS 7 does. If you go into Settings -> Cellular Data down near the bottom it provides a list of apps and how much cellular data they have used since you last reset your cellular data counters. For me, I last reset my counters Sept 11, 2013, and since then I have used 19.5GB on my AT&T cellular network. Below that it gives a list broken down by app and how much data each has used.

Imported User accounts from 10.6 Server not usable

Hello,
I have exported Users and Groups from 10.6 Server and import them using WGM to Lion Server. These users are not usable (for example if you try to login to Webmail or create an e-mail account to Apple Mail), in logs we get:
Mar 29 15:48:02 email dovecot[4311]: auth: Error: od(USERNAME,192.168.11.8): validate response: lookup failed for user: USERNAME
Any solution?
Best regards
Kostas

Hi
You've not said whether the Mail Service is running on your 10.7 Server but did you reset your users' passwords after importing and did you set the appropriate SACLs for those imported users using the Server.App?
WGM is not as effective in 10.7 as it was in 10.6. This is because Apple deprecated it in readiness for Profile Manager. They had to re-introduce it a short time later in a slightly modified form because of the outcry from the US education sector. What this means is you can't really use it confidenctly like before.
FWIW I've found using WGM in conjunction with Server.App and Server Admin works fairly reliably rather than using WGM alone. So what does that mean? Try clearing the users out of WGM and re-import them into the Server.App instead. Define access to services from there and hopefully things should start to work again?
HTH?

How do I unlink an iCloud account from an iTunes one?

This is like https://discussions.apple.com/message/25495321 which randers4 answered last month. My wife & son both have iPhones on the her iTunes & iCloud accounts, which causes all sorts of grief with iMessage & iTunes purchases (apps & music) and we need to get son on his own . She has hundreds of notes and thousands of calendar entries that she REALLY doesn't want to lose; he has lots of music & apps (bought on her account) that he REALLY doesn't want to lose.
randers 4 suggested first
You need to migrate her device to a different account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
1) I don't understand the difference between photo stream and camera roll - what's that all about? Sounds quite labour intensive for anything more than a few photos. Son has hundreds of photos taken on the iPhone, wife has dozens - can I just use iTunes to take my wife's photos off her device, and leave son with anything he's got in the cloud?
2) Notes are a real issue - would be horrible to have to mail mail each one and recreate. Is there no way to bulk export, either from phone or cloud?
3) What about calendar entries? The phone only stores the last x months, and the rest are on iCloud. Really don't want to lose these, they are effectively my wife's diary with notes taken at meetings and from our holidays. As they aren't all on the deivce, I don't know if Merge will do what randers4 suggests.
All looks really messy, any help the community can offer is much appreciated.
simonpb

You're welcome. I've been gone all day so I'm just getting back to you...
To answer your first question, that's normal. When you take a photo on your device (or save an image from an email or web page), it is saved to the camera roll. If you have photo stream enabled, new photos/images added to the camera roll are then uploaded to your photo stream. (This happens when the device is connected to wifi with the camera app closed and it has at leaset 20% battery life remaining.) Once added to photo stream, all devices.computers sharing the photo stream then receive a copy of the photo. Since the device that added the photo to camera roll is also sharing the photo stream, it receives a copy of the photo as well, in the my photo stream album. That's how you end up with a copy of the photo in both the camera roll (the original) and in my photo strem (the photo stream copy).
simonpb wrote:
If I understand correctly, I can avoid any issue with Notes & Calendar by keeping the existing iCloud account on my wife's device, and migrate my son to his own new iCloud, having protected any of his Photo Stream pics from deletion first. Then we can lose his data on her iCloud, and presumably his iCloud will only have the stuff uploaded from his iPhone after it is linked to the new account. Is that right?
Correct. When you delete the existing iCloud account from his phone, it is only deleted from his phone, not from iCloud. Thus, deleting the account from his phone will not effect any devices that continue to use the existing account. Once his phone is on a separate account, your wife and son can each go to icloud.com from a computer and delete each other's data from their own account without effecting the other account. After doing so, they will only have their own data in their separate accounts.
If you want to deal with the notes on someone else's Mac, you would want to start by going to System Preferences>iCloud on their Mac, click Sign Out, then choose Delete at all of the prompts. This will delete their iCloud account and data from their Mac, but not from iCloud. Then you would sign back in using your existing iCloud account, and check both Notes and Mail (having Mail checked is required in order to sync Notes with iCloud). Next, you would go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts (or Mail,Contacts,Calendars if using OS X Lion)>iCloud, sign into your son's new iCloud account as a secondary account, and check both Mail and Notes in this account as well. Then you should be able to drag and drop the notes between the two accounts inside the Notes app (if you want to copy them, hold down the Option key as you drag and drop; if you want to move them, just drag and drop). When you're done, sign out of both iCloud accounts, choose Delete at all of the prompts, then sign back in to the original iCloud account that the Mac was using. Their iCloud data will then download back to their Mac and it will be as it was when you started.

A virtual machine can't authenticate accounts from a domain

Hello,
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard server with Hyper-V, where there is a VM. Hyper-V Manager is 6.3.9600.16384 is used.
The VM was created and at that time it was able to authenticate accounts from anther domain. The VM is in one domain, say Domain A, and the VM and applications on the VM was able to use accounts in another domain, say Domain B. Doman
A and Domain B had a trusted relationship and all was working great on the VM and other servers in Domain A.
Then, the trusted relationship was broken. The applications and the VM still worked, but you could not add and use accounts in Domain B. Applications using accounts in Domain B could be not be authenticated either.
Then, recently we fixed the broken relationship between the two domains. However, on the VM, accounts from Domain B could not be added to applications and could not be authenticated nor used, even though other servers in Domain A had accounts
from Domain B working again.
What can be done to get the VM to recognized accounts in Domain B, now that the trusted relationship is working again between to two domains?
Paul

Hi Paul,
Please try to re-join the VM to domain A then test again .
Also you can use these methods mentioned in the following article to re-build the secure channel ：

How do I sync my mail accounts from my macbook using the mavericks os to my new iphone 5

recently I had to get a new iphone 5, so I backed up the old one with my macbook pro that is using the mavericks os. After restoring the new phone from the back up I noticed that the mail accounts from my macbook had not synced as they used to automatically prior to installing mavericks that seems to force you to sync everything pretty much through icloud. Is there any simple way to do this clone my mail accounts to my new iphone 5 from my macbook.

Hi
You will probably have to add the mail accounts yourself onto the iphone see here:

If I delete iCloud account from iPad will it still keep account to LATER be used on another IOS device?

my son has given his old iPad to my wife. if I delete his iCloud account from her iPad. Can he later, in a month, use that account on a new iPad. Or does the data in the cloud disappear if it is not linked/synced with a device?

Deleting the account from a device does not delete the account or its contents. He will be able to use it later.

HT4889 I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. How do I now 'migrate' all the files from both accounts into one to save myself having two accounts, both of which are me? Help?

I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. I have read that I probably should not have skipped migration in the initial set up and the problem would have been avoided but, alas, here I am. Does anyone know how I can 'migrate' all the files from one of the accounts that has been created to the other, so then I can delete it and have a single user on the computer seeing as I am the only person using it? I have read starting again, if this is the way to go, where is the best place to start 'starting again'?

Yes definitely should see it but its not coming up (I don't think) when I log out of 2nd user and into the main account. Opening finder in the 2nd account, I can obviously find the public folder because thats where I dropped all the files, but when in the main account, it can't be found. The only public folder that comes up is the folder for that account (main account) and it does not display files I'm looking for. Frustrating....
EDIT: Have found it through a round-about way but all music and photo and movie etc files have a red stop sign disallowing them from being transferred. Can you guess what the next question will be?

My question is in regard to pc to mac migration. How do I migrate information from my pc with specific user account to an existing user account on my mac? I do not want to use multiple mac user accounts.
