Migrating from 2007 Mac Book running 10.4.11 to new Mac Book Pro

Applecare is about to expire on my trusty 13" MacBook. I have been reading these forums to help me decide on a new laptop and will probably get a 13" MacBook Pro since I only do e-mail, internet and some home video editing with iDVD but want something faster. I would rather get a cheaper model and replace more often.
I have been lazy and have not upgraded OS for a long time. Am I going to run into any problems using Migration Assistant to move from my old 10.4.11 to the latest Snow Leopard? I really do not want to do a clean install if I can help it. I have a FW drive so I can keep a bootable back-up of my old HD just in case as I transition. TIA for help. I tried search but couldn't find exactly what I need.

Jean,
Yes do use MA however don't use it until you have started up the new machine and run it for a few hours. Part of the installation process it will ask you if you are switching from an old Mac, at this point say no and let you installation continue. By doing this your migration will go faster and also ensure your new machine is running fine. Also because your old machine used Firewire 400 & the new machines use Firewire 800 you will need a cable like this. Once you are happy the new machine is running OK, run Migration Assistant and follow the on screen instructions.
Regards,
Roger

HT4889 Can I choose what to migrate from one mac to another mac?

Can I choose what to migrate from one mac (Powrebook G4) to another mac (New iMac)? I do not want everything to be migrated, as some programs are not compatible with Mountain Lion or an intelIntel mac!
As it is a brand New iMac I would also like to keep it clean of unnecessary files that have become imbedded in the Powerbook over its time.Therfore it would be nice if I can pick and choose what is to be transferd. If you can give me a heads up on if and how it would be appreciated!!!
Thanks

Thanks for your input!… I have now come across an Article from Apple
Migration Assistant tips and tricks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3231?viewlocale=en_US
Controlling what is migrated
With Migration Assistant you control the data that is migrated from another Macintosh computer. By clicking the triangle next to a user's name, you can select which User Accounts to migrate and choose which folders to migrate. You can also choose whether to migrate Applications, Network and Computer settings, or Volumes. Migrating only what you need can reduce the time it takes to complete your migration.

Fatal Error: Could not find Feature AnalyticsLinks in sharepoint 2010 while migration from 2007 site using stsadm command

Hi ,
Firstly, I need to verify the followings:
Whether you created a feature called AnalyticsLinks and activatated it at SharePoint 2007 site.
Whether you installed the feature at SharePoint 2010 site.
Please deactivate the feature AnalyticsLinks, then migrate SharePoint 2007 site to SharePoint 2010, compare the result.
Also , please check whether you have installed the feature AnalyticsLinks at your SharePoint 2010 site. If not, please install and activate it, compare the result.

Migration from 2007.1 to 10

Hi,
Does anyone know if migration from 2007.1 to ATG 10 needs to step up to ATG 9 first? That's a logical step but in my Migration Kit, I found DB scripts that takes your schema from 2007.1 to 10.
Does anyone know where the ATG 2007.1 to ATG 9 migration document can be found? The link is broken on the old communities site.

Migration from 2007 and Archive Mailbox PST import question

Our enterprise will be migrating from Exchange 2007 SP3 to Exchange 2013 CU3 very shortly. Exchange 2013 is set up and I am in coexistance mode currently. Everything is working fine with the legacy redirection, I have tested some mailbox migrations and they
work fine. We currently use Mimosa Nearpoint as a third party email archive product.
As part of this migration from 2007 to 2013, we plan on moving away from Mimosa Nearpoint and utilizing the Exchange 2013 Archive Mailbox feature. We will give each user an Archive Mailbox. We have the ability to export the users existing archive out of
NearPoint to .PST files and then migrating them directly into the users Archive Mailbox using the "New-MailboxImportRequest -IsArchive" powershell commandlet. This has been tested and works fine with one very important exception.
When I export from Nearpoint, I have to export the entire contents of the archive, I cannot set date ranges. So when I do an export, it also contains the contents of the user's mailbox. I have managed folder policies in place in the Exchange 2007 environment
which delete all contents of the mailbox older than 60 days, but when I import the .PST to the archive, it imports ALL items into the Archive Mailbox. So I have 60 days worth duplication of items.
It is my understanding that if I imported the Archive .PST directly into the users production mailbox in the 2013 side, that it would not import duplicate items. I am trying to find out if there is any process which will do the same thing with me importing
directly into the users Archive Mailbox.
Thanks you,

Hi,
We used a third patry email archive product to export to .pst files, so it is too hard to say that whether it cause this issue.
However, I found a method to delete the duplicate items from our mailbox via MFCMAPI Tool.
Please make sure that the Exchange Server mailbox has been backed up first.
Details in the following KB:
How to remove duplicate folders in Outlook when connected to an Exchange Server mailbox
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2509983
I also found a script to remove duplicate items.
This script will scan each folder of a given mailbox and removes duplicate items from those folders. You can specify how the items should be deleted and what items to process, e.g. mail items or appointments. Sample usage is after a misbehaving synchronization
tool creates duplicate items or (accidental) import of PST file with duplicate items.

Some clients migrated from 2007 is presented with the self signed certificate in 2013

I have migrated from 2007 to 2013. I did a couple of test migrations and on the ones with domain member computers Outlook is giving a certificate warning. The certificate they are presented with is the default self signed certificate on the 2013 server.
Even though I have added a trusted public certificate to Exchange and checked of to use With IIS.
I see that the default certificate is also checked of to use With IIS and it cant be removed in ECS. Shouldnt this be removed from IIS all together when adding a New certificate? And why does some Clients gets presented With the self signed and some With
the Public? For instance owa is presented With the Public cert. Also and Outlook I tested from outside the domain.
Regards

Only the UCC certificate should be bound to IIS.
Are any clients using POP or IMAP, which also use SMTP? In this case clients can be presented with the "wrong" certificate as well.

Mac Outlook 2011 Not Syncing After User Is Migrated from 2007 to 2013

I have a couple users using Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.4.1) that have trouble automatically syncing their mailboxes after being migrated from our Exchange 2007 environment to our Exchange 2013 environment. When they kick off a manual sync, it works
fine. Automatic syncing is very hit and miss and can go for hours before syncing. Identities, accounts, and profiles have been rebuilt without success. Is there something to look for client side or perhaps server side in EWS settings? Thanks.

Hi Peter,
Does this syncing issue occur in OWA?
If it works well in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook for Mac 2011 side.
I suggest asking Outlook for Mac 2011 Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook?tab=Threads
Sorry for the lack of knowledge on Mac. If there is safe mode in Mac, I suggest run Mac under the safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins for testing.
If the syncing issue exists in OWA, I suggest collecting app logs for the further troubleshooting.
Thanks

HT4889 I just complete a migration from my Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro but none of the files on my desktop appear anywhere. Suggestions please.

I have just completed a lengthy migration of all my files from an old Mac Book Pro to my new Mac Book Pro and I find that none of my files on my desktop have been transferred. So, I do not have the confidence that all my files have been transferred. What did I do wrong and what can I do to fix this matter. Sugggestions welcome. Thanks

Open the Users folder, drag the migrated home folder to the desktop, provide your administrator password, and retrieve the files from there. If desired, you can then use the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences to delete the migrated account. This can be done in reverse if you only want the migrated account.

Migrating from Power Mac G5 to Mac Pro

Just ordered a new Mac Pro 2009 Nehalem Model, 2.66GHz, Quad Core, 640GB HD, 3GB Ram,
OSX 10.6 and it should arrive this week.
I am migrating from my old reliable Power Mac G5, Model 7,2, 400GB System HD, 750GB Scratch Disk HD, 5GB Ram, OSX 10.4.11. The major apps that I have been running are:
Final Cut Studio 1 (with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
Quick Time 7.6.4
ILife 08
IWork 08
ITunes 9.0.3
I would like to make the transition to the new Mac Pro as easy and painless as possible.
Can anyone offer the correct steps do a proper migration that will insure that my files
(especially the video files & address book entries) are saved and the new machine works as
it is designed to work?
Thanks

Connect the two via Firewire cable and use Migration Assistant or see the following:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Resources and public folder database - migration from 2007 to 2013

We migrated our resource mailboxes thru the move mailboxes in 2013 EAC but now we're at the point of decommissioning our 2007 servers. Before the actual decommission we stopped all 2007 services and dismounted all 2007 databases. Once we did
this the resources would no longer work - errors pertaining to cannot directly book the resource.
I had to bring up the public folder database for the moved resources to work again. We do not use public folders any longer so we did not do any type of public folder migration. Do I need to do this for the resources to work?

Hi,
Could you please tell me your Outlook version?
I saw someone got the following error when he tried to book resource after migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, if Outlook version is Outlook 2007. But Outlook 2010 worked well.
"Cannot directly book a resource for this meeting."
Please switch between online and cached mode to check the result. And please check if this issue occurs in OWA.
If possible, please use Outlook 2010 to check the result.
Best regards,

Migrated from old Mac to new Mac with Lion, iPhoto 6 still here, can't update

Hi, I just migrated from an old MacBook to a brand new MacBook Pro. The Apple Store did the migration for me. For some strange reason, iPhoto 6 is present on this Mac, even though it should have come with iPhoto '11. I understand that I should be able to install iPhoto '11 from the App Store, since this Mac is entitled to it, but it only shows up as a $15 purcahse instead.
Does anyone know how to get the App Store to recognise that this Mac shipped with, and is entitled to, iPhoto '1?

First, get rid of any old copy of iPhoto you have on the new computer. Log into the App Store using your Apple ID. Click on Purchases icon. At the top you should find the three iLife apps with an Accept button to click on. Then you can download iPhoto without having to pay for it.

Outlook Authentication prompt after migrating from 2007/2013

I have a very simple environment. 3 new Exchange 2013 servers in a DAG behind a load balancer. Most users are still on Exchange 2007 environment. Autodiscover has been configured for load balanced name. There is no External Outlook
Anywhere connectivity. I have NOT enabled Outlook Anywhere in the 2007 environment. I have a simple Lync 2013 environment. 1 Server in a standard pool with no external connectivity. I have integration with OWA 2013 and Lync working.
All versions of Outlook are at least on the patch level required for Exchange 2013.
My issue is random password prompts in Outlook for some (not all) users with mailboxes on Exchange 2013. This password prompt appears to be coming from the load balanced Outlook anywhere name. I have had a few reports of users on Exchange 2007
getting an error stating they cannot open default set of folders. If I have them exit Lync 2013 client and open Outlook again it works fine. They can then open Lync without issue. Closing and opening Outlook will no longer reproduce the issue.
It seems like Lync is causing an issue here somewhere, but I have no idea where.
Lync BPA completes without any warning or errors. All test cmdlets complete without any errors.

I just could not let this go last night. The issue was occurring when I moved a mailbox to 2013.
2 scenarios
#1. Users mailbox moved from 2007 to 2013. Profile has a secondary mailbox that is still on 2007. When entering Outlook they are prompted for
a password into the internally resolvable load balanced name (mail.company.com). If I remove this secondary 2007 mailbox they work fine, UNTIL they try to access anything on 2007 (calendar, Public Folder, another mailbox, etc). When they do attempt they
are prompted for a password.
I have seemingly fixed this error by adding the external URL back to AutoDiscover on 2013 based on
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2839517<u5:p></u5:p>. Even though we have no intentions of using Outlook Anywhere externally.
During this troubleshooting I also changed InternalClientsRequireSsl from false to true. Now I have clients reporting errors in their event log “A fatal error occurred while
creating an SSL client credential. The internal error state is 10013." I do not think changing this to require SSL, but I’m almost scared to change it because this issue
is seemingly resolved.
#2 mailbox that is only accessed as a shared mailbox Mailbox is moved from 2007 to 2013. Users attaching to the mailbox are still on 2007. This works perfectly fine for some. However others receive a password prompt each time they open Outlook.
If the 2013 mailbox is removed from their outlook profile they receive no prompt. If I manually remove the mailbox from their profile and add it back the prompts go away. I have not been tracking client versions, but these last 4 are running 12.0.6691.5000.
I also noticed in checking the connection status all 2007 references are using [Nego] for authentication and mail.company.com is using NTLM. Is this normal? This is the same in my test environment, but I can’t replicate this issue in my test environment
either.
I’m very stumped.
