  • Just transferred files from old macbook to new macbook pro and can't find my documents or music files itunes or garageband

    Used emigration assistant and can't find my files. Applications and programs transferred fine but can't find word docs. picture or itunes songs.

    Call Apple, you have 30 days of free support.
    I tell you this because Apple doesn't think anything is wrong with Migration Assistant, but it's loaded with problems and we volunteers are tired of handling their problems for free.
    Call them, make Apple fix it, it's their screwup.
    Once they see it's costing them money, perhaps they will quit using it or fix it.
    Sorry about the rant, but you can help solve the problem, Apple doesn't pay attention here, it's moderated and that's about it.

    1. Hard press the trackpad to register the click until "Tap to Click" is enabled.
    2. You can return a new Mac within 14 days of purchase.

    I'm using migration assistant to transfer files from my wife old net book to new mac air and the pc dropped out during transfer. I started up migration assistant on the Pc again and now says waiting for mac to connect! New MacBook Air  is stuck at transferring information.  How do I get the process to reconnect and continue?

    i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating.  Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

    Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
    Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
    When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
    Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
    Two questions, every idea would be great!
    - Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
    - Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
    Thank you again,

  • I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one.  New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac).  the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

    Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

  • New Mac Air and HP monitor.  The monitor only displays the background.  How Can I get both to display the same thing?

    I have a new Mac Air and want to use my HP Monitor HPLP2475w to save $$.  I attached it to the Mac Air but all I get is the background of my laptop.  How do I get this to match or use in the dual mode.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jackie,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  How did you attach the Macbook Air to your HP Monitor?  What cable did you use?  The article below will explain how to setup the display.  Video Mirroring is the option that will allow you to see your computer's display on your HP.
    OS X Yosemite: Connect a display
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19035?viewlocale=en_US
    You can easily view the contents of your Mac on a display, like an Apple Thunderbolt Display, or on your TV.
    Connect an Apple Thunderbolt Display: 
    Plug the display’s cable directly into the Thunderbolt port  on your Mac. 
    Connect an Apple LED Cinema Display: 
    Plug the display’s cable directly into the Thunderbolt port  on your Mac. 
    Connect a TV or display with an HDMI connector: 
    Plug the cable directly into the HDMI port on your Mac. For more information about using a TV, see Use your TV as a display. 
    Connect a display with a VGA connector: 
    Use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect the display to the Thunderbolt port  on your Mac. 
    Connect a display with a Mini DisplayPort: 
    Plug the display’s cable directly into the Mini Display port  on your Mac. 
    After you connect your Mac, the contents of your screen automatically appear on the display or TV. 
    If your display uses a video port that’s not available on your Mac, you may be able to use an adapter to connect your display. For example, If your Mac doesn’t include an HDMI port, you can use a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI video adapter with the Thunderbolt port on your Mac.

  • I have a new mac pro and can't get a side scroll bar.  What can I do to get this?

    I have a new mac pro and can't get a side scroll bar.  How can I get this?

    The scroll bar is now set to appear automatically when you start scrolling with a trackpad or scroll wheel mouse. If you are using an mouse without a scrolling device, you should change a setting.
    In System Preferences, click General, and in the Show Scroll Bars section, click the option for how you want it to work. If you want to see them all the time click "Always."

  • Just got a new mac pro and can't manage to set a password and keep it.  It keeps telling me I have the wrong password.

    Just got a new mac pro and can't manage to set a password and keep it.  It keeps telling me I have the wrong password.  I want to start over and I can't even get back in to do this bc it won't take any of my passwords.  How can I start over completely?

    You got a new laptop? try asking there or in Lion forum.
    If it has Lion, use the Recovery Mode boot Command-R
    Use that to erase and reinstall - it has network install ability.
    Want MacBook Pro forum or Lion Community?

    Lion Mac OS X Communities
    New, as in from Apple, it would have asked for full setup.

  • Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

    Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible because I had them as hidden but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

    If the filename starts with a dot (.thisfile), then it will be hidden on the Mac.
    You can use a 3rd party App, such as EasyFind to search for the file on your Mac, and then re-name (remove the dot)
