Migrating from MB to MPB. Having Some Trouble!

Hello!
I have just bought a used (3 month old) Macbook Pro running Lion. There doesn't appear to be any files on the machine nor any user information other than a user called 'macbook' (this password is blank).
I have a Macbook running snow leopard backed up using time machine to an external.
Eventually I will swap the hard drives over (MB has 640GB [220GB in use], MBP 320GB) but in the meantime I was trying to copy the files and user info over from old to new to use until I get more time.
I tried to reset set up assistant on the MBP (cmd + 5 then various instructions) but couldn't get that to work. I then tried to reinstall Lion from disc but it kept failing and prompting me to try again. Finally I tried migration assistant on the MBP 'from a time machine back up'. This worked for a while before a box appeared saying that certain files couldn't be transferred. From there the only option was to quit.
What can I try next? I'm hoping to set up my MBP as my MB is now (only on Lion as opposed to Snow Leopard). Am I best waiting until I have enough time to swap the Hard Drives over as well?
Any advice appreciated!

You will be better off posting in the Lion forum area.
I then tried to reinstall Lion from disc
Was this a custom made disc? Lion does not come on one. It's a downloadable os from the App Store.
a box appeared saying that certain files couldn't be transferred.
Those files are not compatible with Lion?

I am having some trouble trying to back up my notes to my iCloud

Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.

I'm having some trouble transferring audio books to my iPhone. It usually takes 3 or 4 tries to get all the parts transferred. I didn't use to have this problem - all parts would transfer in one try.

Have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Trying to print to it from my iPad2. Having some problems.

I Have an HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless. Trying to print to it from my iPad2. Having some problems. Trying to print docs or files from the iPad usuall gets me a page that looks scrunched up to one side. Is there a good printer app (preferably free or shareware) that I could get or is there a patch, new driver, new firmware or something for the 8500 that would allow good printing fro the iPad wirelessly?

The latest firmware version for your printer is DLM1FN1006BR; you can verify yours by printing out a self test page via the front panel of your printer.
Also, the HP ePrint Home & Biz app supports printing over your local wireless network, so please verify if your printer is connected to the same access point as your iPad2. You are also able to verify connectivity by typing your printer's ip address within the address bar of your safari web browser.

Having some trouble rounding decimal place

Hello all,
I am having some issues rounding a decimal in my code. My program is running and doing what I would like otherwise. Here is what I have so far:
public class MortCalc2
     public static void main(String [] args)
          //Declare and initialize three variables
          double numloanamt = 200000.00; //loan amount of 200k
          double numinterest = 0.0575; //interest rate of 5.75%
          int numtermyrs = 30; //term of 30 years
          int numtermmths = 360; //term of 360 months
          double numwholeamt = 545000.00; //loan amount + interest
          double numpayment = 0; //monthly payment
          numpayment = numwholeamt/numtermmths; //payment equals loan amount plus interest divided by the total term in months
          System.out.println("Your monthly payment is $" + numpayment);
}I am getting the results I want with the calculation except they are coming out as 1513.888888888889. I would like to see 1513.89. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Thanks,
Seawall

Hi, sorry for the first post.
this works okay.
import java.math.*;
public class MortCalc2
     public static void main(String [] args){
are and initialize three variables
double numloanamt = 200000.00; //loan amount of
of 200k
double numinterest = 0.0575; //interest rate of
of 5.75%
          int numtermyrs = 30; //term of 30 years
          int numtermmths = 360; //term of 360 months
double numwholeamt = 545000.00; //loan amount +
+ interest
          double numpayment = 0; //monthly paymen
numpayment = numwholeamt/numtermmths; //payment
t equals loan amount plus interest divided by the
total term in months
numpayment =
Math.round(numpayment*100.0) / 100.0;
System.out.println("Your monthly payment is $" +
+ numpayment);
Thats right, use an Irish screwdriver (a hammer) instead of the correct solution as posted by djmd02 in repsonse #3.

I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

Hello, I have been having some trouble with my mac after i bought it and used Migration Assistant, i.e. not being able to install some applications, such as adobe flash player. Anyone know a solution? Thank you!

I really wish someone could help me.
Thank you.

Reinstalling OS X won't help you unless you erase the drive and reinstall from scratch. To do that you want a backup of your files so they won't be lost. If you can do that, then:
Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
Now, after the successful first startup you will be in the Setup Assistant. Be sure you give your new admin account the same username as the one on your backup. When you get to the Desktop I suggest you install Flash from the download link I gave you earlier. Open Safari and see if Flash is now working for you. I recommend you reinstall only your data at this time. Redownload and install any third-party software you use. Be sure you get only the most recent versions and that they are compatible with Mavericks - App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Help: having some trouble dublicating a character

[IMG]http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj41/leeindy/Capturegiff.png[/IMG]
to me its an asterisk. But i just cant get it to look right. im using unstructured frame 10. ive tried several character designs but nothing seems to look right. i have microsoft office installed so i have a ton of fonts. i dont care how its done just as its 90% similar when printed. Help please.

Let's suppose that Zapf Dingbats \x6b is what we want.
This is how I'd do it:
Create a Character Format named "Dingbats".
Set all fields of the dialog to As-Is or blank except:
Family: ZapfDingbats
Special > Variable [Create Variable]
Name: char.symbol.asterisk-full
Definition: <Dingbats>\x6b<Default ¶ Font>
Anywhere you need this:
Special > Variable
{select char.symbol.asterisk-full from list}
[Insert]
You might need to play with the point size in the Chr Fmt.
Yes, you can hand type this as a local override, using some special keyboard sequence.
Doing it as a variable has numerous advantages: It avoids having the next character be a Dingbat too, if not also the wrong size. You don't need to memorize or look up the key sequence, font name, etc. every time you need it. You get global control over all instances, in case you find a glyph you like better in some other typeface. If used in a heading, it will appear as an "*" instead of a "k". Spell check won't hassle you about the "k".

Hi! So I am using a MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and I am having some trouble issues with sharing documents on Google.

I am part of a 2 person group, who's entering a documentary for the NHD competiton. If you don't know what that is here's a link: http://www.nhd.org. Anyway, that doesn't really matter. What does matter, is that my partner and I, we're using Final Cut Pro X to make the documentary. I downloaded the Final Cut Pro X trial on my MacBook Pro so I could work on our documentary at home. My partner Cecilia, wanted to work on it as well, but using Windows Media Player or something like that. My family uses a lot more Apple than windows. So I come home, work a little on our documentary, go under file ---> share ------> masterfile---> settings-----> Video Codec -----> H.264. A couple seconds/ miniutes (it didn't take very long) later, I see our documentary as a Quick Time file pop up under my documents. I then log into gmail. i click compose, type in my partners e-mail, and then click the little paper clip to attach my new quick time file. Considering that it's 11 minutes long and is filled with media and audio, It's no suprise when I see that it exceeds the limit of ...gigabytes i think. So i send it to her using google drive. However, a couple minutes later, my partner says that she can see the file, but can't seem to download it. I double-check and make sure that I, as the owner, allowed her to edit the file. Then I check to see if i accidently clicked: "Prevent viewer from downloading" which I hadn't. Then i, myself, click on the file and click download and it works fine for me, but apparently doesn't work at all for her windows computer. This means that there's somethig wrong with her computer, or I did something wrong while sharing the file. Any ideas as to why the whole downloading process worked on my Apple Laptop and not her Windows Computer?

These links might provide some information that may be of help.

I am having some trouble playing games.

I have an older gateway. I am not sure of the specific name of the model. specs Processor:x2 Intel(R) core(tm) Duo cpu T2450 @ 2.00 ghz system:32-bit operating system computer:Acpi x86-based pc internal memory/ram: 1.00 gb I am not sure what else u need to help me with my problem. i just downloaded itunes and i am having trouble opening a game that i downloaded. the download was good i have a great wifi connection. It will not open,locate,or do anything. It gives me an option to open in internet explorer when i right click but still does nothing.I use google chrome for just about everything that it will allow but cannot find this game. Could this be why internet explorer isn't working? I went to the developer website which referred me to itunes. What can i do??

Any game/App downloaded within iTunes will not work in no computer. They are designed to be synced and used on an iDevice.

Having some trouble here

ok, i tried this, yet does not seem to want to work.
I am trying to write a java program that calculates
1/2 - 2/4 + 3/6 - 4/16 + ((-1) ^ (n+1))(n/2^n)
ok, here is what i have so far:
package project6;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Project6 {
    public static void main (String [] args) {
        String enterN = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter an number");
        double n = Double.parseDouble(enterN);
        double a = 1.0/12.0;
        double b = 2.0/4.0;
        double c = 3.0/8.0;
        double d = 4.0/16.0;
        double e = (-1) * (n + 1);
        double z = 1;
        while (z <= n) {
            n = n*n;
            z++;
        double resultA = a - b + c - d + e;
        String output = ("The answer is " + resultA);
        System.out.println(output);
        System.exit(0);
}but it is not woerking out the way it is supposed to.
i am NOT allowed to use the math.pow function, so that rules that out

There's a whole list of wrong or strange things in your code...:
but it is not woerking out the way it is supposed to.What does that mean? Does it compile? Do you get an error message? Is the output different from what you expected?
double a = 1.0/12.0;Didn't you mean 1.0/2.0 (or 0.5) here?
1/2 - 2/4 + 3/6 - 4/16This looks strange. 2/4 = 3/6 = 1/2 and 4/16 = 1/4.
So 1/2 - 2/4 + 3/6 - 4/16 = 1/2 - 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/4 = 1/4.
You can get rid of the whole a, b, c, d thing and just write:
double resultA = 0.25 + e;
double e = (-1) * (n + 1);
        double z = 1;
        while (z <= n) {
            n = n*n;
            z++;
        }You are doing some calculations here in which you change the value of n, but you're not using the variable n afterwards. So this whole loop is just dummy code.

Oh boy am i having some trouble!

I'm not very au fait with computers so i tried to search how to do somthing in the help function for finder. the search function doesn't seem to be working and when i tried the links they didnt work either. i tried help through a couple of other programmes and whilst the links worked there the search still wasn't working.
Help me!!

Is it just the Help that you are having trouble with?
The search in Mac Help is not Spotlight related but you can try the steps in this The X Lab FAQ to troubleshoot your Help.

I am having some trouble with Adobe Flash Player

I have tried to record an audioboo and when I press record the Adobe Flash Player comes up and asks to allow the mic etc... I set it up to allow but then can't close the box!? I have tried lots of times and it just won't close and hence I can't record the boo. I don't have a problem closing the flash player any other time and I have in fact recorded audioboo's before, but for some reason I can't now? Any help or advice would be great.

I have the exact same issue - but the funny thing is that it is only on my iMac - my MacBook Pro is fine and they both have 10.7.2 and the same latest Flash Player, so I think it might be a hardware problem to be honest.
Ever since upgrading to Lion my iMac has been that way - my MacBook Pro had the problem with the first update from Adobe but after the second update of the Flash Player everything is fine on the MacBook Pro.
How old is you MacBook Pro?

Having some troubles with annotations, hyperlinks, images within PDFs

Hello all.
I am having a few issues with my PDFs and I hope that someone can assist me.
First, I want to state that we are using LCES2 SP1, with Workbench, Designer, Workspace, PDF generator and Reader Extensions. We do not currently have Output.
Situation:
I have created several forms in Designer that present the user with information from an XML submitted via a .net app. The info includes customer data, URLs to other pages and a URL to an image/s which I embed within the PDF for presentation.
In addition to the customer data, the forms present one or more embedded images from the XML which are different every time(dynamically embedded in form). We also present several URLs from the XML which I have hyperlinked. We also need to capture Annotations/markups on the PDF.
I have the dynamically populated images displaying correctly to the user. Annotations and the hyperlinks are basically functioning correctly as well.
My issues:
The problems that I have encountered are:
1. The embedded images that are presented do not show the annotations on them. It seems as though the annotations are marking on the PDF behind the embedded images. For example, if I draw a line across the PDF, the line is there but will not show on the actual images. Is there a way to push the images back and bring the annotations etc in front?
2. The hyperlinks work correctly except that when we open the PDFs in Workspace, the hyperlinks open the page within the Workspace area. Is there a way to force the Hyperlinks from Workspace to open the page in a new browser tab or page? I have attempted to use the target="_blank" with no success.
3. The annotations are being captured and collected ok within LC. I can see the updated XML which includes the markups etc. I have attempted to then use the updated XML to present the PDF, including the annotations, to the next user in the TaskAssignment. Even using Reader Extensions, the annotations/drawings do not display to the next user in their Task. However, if I open the same document using Acrobat Pro, the annotations are displayed correctly. Anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong? Do we require the use of Output to flatten the document with the annotations?
Thank you all for your assistance
David

Hi,
three years later I have the same problem as David posted in no. 1.
I created a PDF form in LCD with image fields and text fields that are filled within another software. In LCD I placed the fields in the background. After the pdf fields have been filled within the other software the user wants to add markups and comments on it.
But the markups on the PDF appear behind the images and texts. I need the markups in front, how can I manage this??
Best regards,
MiHue
