Migrate from XP to new machine with Vista
Could someone please describe how to do this?
I have backed up the catalogue on an external drive, and installed LR onto the new machine.
However,searching on here there is advice to copy the preview and thumbs files,which I cannot find.
Also my presets etc, where should i copy them to? On the xp machine ther are in user name/app data/Lightroom
o the new machine there is no lightroom folder in username/app data.
Really confused please help!

Ok Guys (and gals)
All seems to be well ;-)
I made sure that my images were in the same directories..a little easier because the are on an external drive...however the drive was recognised as G and not H. So after some fiddling in the admin tools to rename it, all was ok.
The thing that was puzzling me is that the directories in username/application data/lightroom (where the presets etc are stored in XP) have changed in Vista.
As others said they are now User name/application data/Roaming/lightroom...but the files are not created until after you first launch LR.
So I copied the previews folder and catalogue from My Pictures in XP to username/pictures in Vista, which seems to be the default location.
Then clicking the catalogue file opens LR with that catalogue.
There are no user presets as yet,but once LR has been started the file location is username/app data/roaming/lightroom/presets.
Copy all the presets there.
Then I went through the other files and ensured that I copied any other usefull info,such as preferences,metadata presets, export presets,from the existing folders into the new.
All i had to do then was re set up my id plate, export presets and go through all the options to make sure all was well.
The only issue is that I have one directory on my hard drive that is not recognised. Some images were on D,on a partitioned hard drive (C and D). Now I have one drive C.
But the catalogue still has the folder and the previews so its no hastle just to browse to the new location to fix it.
So yaaaay! Now just the ballache with Vista (I hope not)
One final note...called LR tech support for help and was told an email would be sent with the full info what to do. After quite some hours no mail....another call revealed no case id and nothing recorded. Hmmmmm...
Thanks all who replied and hope this helps others

I have migrated from London to New Delhi and i am facing some problem with my iPhone 4s and i am not able to setup a repair .My phone is in under warranty too. Can anyone tell whats the matter?
The warranty is NOT international. You must take it back to the country of origin if it needs repair. The E.U. is considered a single country for warranty purposes.

Moved report server to new machine with all old settings
Dear all,
I am going to moved to new server machine for SSRS and i have 200+ reports ,,
i have configure report server in new machine but reports configuration pending
i thought i would need help of others to do this because i have a quetion? that
How can moved my 200 reports to new machine with all configurations includes 40 subscriptions , and much more
with parameter values setting ??
is there simple way?? rather than doing one by one ..
like i just copy mu old report server to new report server..
Help me please ??
Dilip Patil..Hi Dilip,
After testing the issue in my environment, we can try to use the RS.exe utility to execute a Reporting Services RSS script that copies content items and settings from one SQL Server Reporting Services report server to another report server.
To achieve this goal, please refer to the following steps:
using the RS.exe utility Download the script file from the CodePlex site
Reporting Services RS.exe script migrates content to a local folder, for example c:\rss\ssrs_migration.rss.
Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
Navigate to the folder containing the ssrs_migration.rss file.
Run the following command to migrate contents from the native mode Sourceserver to the native mode Targetserver:
rs.exe -i ssrs_migration.rss -e Mgmt2010 -s
http://SourceServer/ReportServer -u Domain\User -p password -v ts="http://TargetServer/reportserver" -v tu="Domain\Userser" -v tp="password"
Besides, if the destination report server is SharePoint mode, we can also try to use Reporting Services Migration Tool to achieve your requirement. For more details, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn600370.aspx
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Can not register a new machine with Updatemanager
Hi,
I just install a new machine with Solaris 10 using a Flash image and Live Upgrade. The original machine from we create the Flash image was registered succesfull using Update Manager.
Now, when I try to register the new machine, the applications ask me the user and password, but do not makes anything. The dialog freeze. The only way to stop the Update Manager is killing them (at the end is the full java error stack).
I try with sconadm,
sconadm register -a -r /var/tmp/registration.profile
Unsuccessfull too, with the same stack error (Caused by: javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: ).
I'm bored with the Solaris patch system: all the weekend was saying error 500 for all my other registered machines, and now I can not register a new machine....
This system fails all the time.. Is runing under W2K3 server???
Any Idea?
Thanks in advance.

... 39 moreWell,
The problem was a Memory problem: The swap file was misconfigured. Once the system reboots with the correct swap configuration I was able to register the machine.
Anyway, the problem to connect with SunSolve is continous, but it is other point of discussion.
I hope this solution can help people with similar problems.

Have Linksys WRT54GS Got a new laptop with vista having problems
I have been using this wireless router for a while works great. I got my wife a new laptop with vista can conect with limited conectivity (excelent signal). Can not use any online programs. How do i fix this problem?
"limited connectivity" ca be due to incorrect n/w key u r typing.
if u have an securtiy enabled conection, when u r trying to connect on vista laptop, plz type the correct n/w key.if there is any confusion oen setup page and chck the ifo from there.
if this doesn't work, u mght have to upgrade f/w of WRT54GS from www.linksys.com as win vista sometimes requires the latest f/e and drivers to connect properly -
i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.
How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

Installing desktop software on new laptop with Vista
I had a laptop with XP and everything worked fine. Got a new one with Vista and now the software will not install. It did install properly (at least I thought) once, but then would not sync with the device. I tried 4.2 and I tried 4.7, both from the Blackberry site. I keep getting the error message "windows is shutting down the desktop software installation and will notify you of a solution". This is after 20-45 minutes of downloading. My device is a Verizon Curve. Any thoughts?
I installed it twice each time under program file as it wouldn't recognize the program file(x64) folder. I created an adobe folder under program file and installed there which when perfectly well including name, serial number until disc 3 of CS2 suite.
Interestingly when I opened photoshop it showed the correct name and serial number but the error statement I first commented showed.
Perhaps I am just going to have to spring for CS4 -
Time Capsule access goes away, after new comps with vista
Hi. I am not a computer person, but I work in a small nonprofit and our IT person has gone on vacation. our network keeps creashing and we loose access to the time capsule data. This all started happening after we installed 2 new computeres with Windows Vista and 2 new laptops with Vista were added to the network. Can somebody please help me out. I can't get any work done! Thanks =)
The question is, does the orange blinking light matter and or is it indicating that I am improperly using the machine?
The amber light is like the "Check Engine" light in your car. It blinks for a reason......the Time Capsule has a message for you.
That message might be that there is a firmware update available for the Time Capsule that needs to be installed....or....that AirPort Utility has detected that the Time Capsule is not configured correctly to work with the Xfinity router that you are now using.
To see the message.....open Finder > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the amber dot
Then look for a Status setting, and click on the small amber dot there
A message will appear to tell you why the Time Capsule is whining, along with a suggested action to fix the issue.
If you are still having difficult, we for you to post back with the exact message that you see. -
i bought my wife an ipad retina for xmas and the machine is faulty, it keeps on switching off. the apple authorised dealer admitted it was faulty and wants to replace my new machine with a factory refurbished unit. I told them that i will only accept a new one as it is only a few weeks old and had the problem from the begining? is it correct that apple replaces new defective products with factory refurbished one? I have used apple products most of my life from mac 2 to G5. I had over a dozen apple machines and never had a problem so far? I do not believe this is right..

In the EU there is also a mandatory two year warranty by european union law. I am not a lawyer but i never signed or agreed to any apple policy at the time of purchase, i was told you have a two year guarantee bring it back if anything goes wrong which i did and now i am being quoted all sorts of policies. my own policy is that if you buy new you get new, with no excuses. I feel a bit cheated by apple if i have to compromise with a second hand unit. the unit is not even a month old and we took it to the original store a couple of weeks after it was bought and they sent us to take it to a servicing dept in another town. I am an apple fan and expect excellent service like the products themselves.
No one ever does sign anything - the purchase itself, where you exchange money for the product, is your de facto agreement to all warranties and policies set forth by both the seller and the OEM supplier. That's a pretty firmly established principle of consumer law (image the nightmare if you had to read and sign to such things every time you purchased anything or everything?).
You can complain to the store or to Apple about it if you wish. -
I have a new machine with a previous installation of Itunes, linked to another Apple ID. Even I authorized the machine to my Apple ID, I can not connect to the Apple Store. I tried removing Itunes and reinstalling it, but anything changed. I still can not connecto to the Store.
My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
Migration Date when migrating from classic to new g/l
Hello gurus,
I am planning a migration from classic to new g/l, but this fiscal year it will be not possible to finish phase 0 (from migration model plan). Is it possible to do it in the middle of the new fiscal year, what are the withdrawls or issues? what do you recommend me? What strategy can I use?
Thanks,
Silvia GuillenHi Silvia,
There is differnce in migration date & activation date. Migration date will always be the firts day of new fiscal year.
But as on migration date you have to bring your config changes to PRD.
For details please check the following link -

After shop did migration, from Pro to new Pro my whole file structure is lost. Everything is in Destop folder, inc all music. Any ideas. tia.
Bring it back to the shop.

got new iMac, I had completed the migration from PC to new iMac, but still unable to see all the apps and music that were saved from the old PC to new iMac. Please help.
My guess is the 30-day trial period has expired but you didn't remove the trial before installing the full version. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip. -
