Migration Accelerator - Documentation about 3rd party app defaults

The App defaults we need to pick for the CX/CS dependencies:
MySQL and CGYWIN specifically.   What do we need to configure when those wizards pop up?  Both have multiple paths and options and the documentation just says "follow the wizard".     The cgywin specifically has
up to 15GB of downloads if you pick all the libraries to install, but the documentation doesn't say what we actually need to pick to finish that installation? (it wont finish if you don't pick something)
I know you are working on improving the documentation, so please review these items.  
Also the interchanging of CS and CX in the documentation can be confusing, you should settle on one naming convention.

Hi Joe,
As document/wizard indicates please download the required Cygwin setup-x86.exe and other MySQL and rrdtool.  Cygwin won't download 15 GB of data, just follow the wizard and you will be able to download the required software in 5 to 10 min. we will improve
our documentation regarding naming of CX and CS.
Thx-Gopi

  • Migrating 3rd Party Apps

    Hello,
    I am in the process of buying a new iMac G5 20", and I have purchased several dowloadable 3rd party apps on my current iMac. Can anyone tell me how I can get these apps off my computer and onto my new one?
    Thanks!
    ~NS

    Hi, Nathan.
    New Macs have an improved Setup Assistant that will walk you through the process of moving the Users, Applications, and other files from your old Mac to your new Mac, presuming your old Mac has a FireWire port.
    See "Mac OS X 10.3: Transferring data with Setup Assistant frequently asked questions (FAQ)." See also this page describing the new Setup Assistant.
    A little, undocumented secret about the Setup/Migration Assistant is that it will also work using a bootable duplicate of your old Mac if that duplicate is on a FireWire drive.
    You can move everything from the old Mac to the new, or selected bits. However, moving just applications can be problematic if the applications have bits installed outside of the /Applications folder: not all third-party apps are distributed in bundles, but rather install bits all over the system.
    Good luck!

  • ITunes Match and 3rd Party Apps - iPad/iPhone

    With the myriad of apps out there that integrate with iTunes, why is it that nearly none of them offer support for iTunes Match? (And, a seemingly cool one that claims to offer support -- "BeatBlaster" -- http://www.beatblaster.com/ -- that has all the features I'm looking for, isn't available in the App Store in the US).  I'm really surprised at the lack of information on this topic on the web... A Google search for it only pulls up articles that are 2-3 years old.   The best information I could find was that the API toolset made available to developers is either really limited, or it's just not available at all... and that's in an article from 2011.  Are you telling me that Apple is STILL -- 3+ years later -- limiting access to developer tools for iTunes Match integration (or just has never created any)?  I understand that I'm asking about something that could be considered "outside" of Apple (3rd Party apps), but I'm just really looking for someone that might be in the know on this stuff... And, I'm hoping that that person can clue the rest of us in on "what's up".
    Bottom line, I'm looking for a clock radio app that supports iTunes Match... I've got our Master Bedroom and Bath rigged up with in-ceiling speakers, attached to a bluetooth receiver, with a wall-mounted iPad serving as the "jukebox".  When my dang iPad doesn't drop the WiFi connection, it's pretty slick. I'd just like to have a single app that a) offers a large, well-visible clock, b) allows me to browse my iTunes Match library of songs and play them as I'd like, and c) have a "play my iTunes music as an alarm" option.  I know... directly d/l-ing songs to the iPad is an option, but it defeats the whole purpose of iTunes Match, which I subscribe to because my music library is WAY too big to fit on the iPad (or my iPhone).
    Anyway, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    You'll have to ask the software makers this question. It is up to the 3rd party vendors, not Apple, to provide the features you are asking for.

  • 3rd party app alerts no longer show up in the notification center

    I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS7 last week and ever since alerts for 3rd party apps (like gmail and others) haven't been showing up in the notification center.  I've checked my settings for both the notification center and for my individual apps to make sure they weren't reset, made sure my apps were up to date (not all of them have had updates since iOS7 was released but some definitely have), tried toggling them on and off and rebooting, but so far nothing has helped.  The banner alerts work, but nothing pops up in the notifications.  Has anyone else experienced this or have any other ideas how to fix it?
    I've generally been pretty pleased with the new version of iOS, but I'm hating everything about the changes made to the notification center.  Even if I do get my notifications to work again, I hate that we're forced to have that "Today" tab even if you switch the summaries off!  I like the unified page from iOS6 much better.

    Hi cyn999!
    I have an article that can help address this question:
    iOS: Understanding notifications
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3576
    As you can see in the screenshot, the weather does show up in the notification center, but it is in text form instead of icon form in iOS 7. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

    Braden

  • Can't open any 3rd party apps - they crash on startup

    I've been an iPhone owner since the first model (I have iPhone 4 now), and I've never seen anything like this.
    Last night my iPhone ran out of charge. This morning, when I plugged it in it had to charge for a few minutes before it would turn on. Once it turned on, it said "waiting for activation: this may take a while". I thought this was strange, because my phone is already activated. I'm in an area with no reception, though, so maybe that was the issue.
    Once the phone turned on, I tried to open some of my apps. But none of the 3rd party apps would open! When I tap them they appear to open but they shut down / crash right away. Strangely, however, all of the Apple apps that come with the phone will open without a problem (Maps, Mail, Safari, iCal, etc.).
    I tried a hard reset but that didn't help. I'm away from home so I can't do an erase and store, and I really need access to some of the data in those apps.
    Any ideas?

    I did the same this week. I did a sync and now I can't access any of my apps. They appear to open then shut right back down. Have tried to resync, update and about anything else that may fix and nothing. Paying an aweful lot of money just for texting and phone usage. Anyone know how to take care of this issue? I have a 3G phone and been using it for a year without this problem

  • Backing up 3rd party apps with Time Machine

    After what started out as a simple question...why won't my iChat stay connected now that i have installed OS Lion and spending over 2 hours with Apple Phone support and trying all the known trouble shoots, they told me the only thing I can now do is Back Up my MacBook Pro and do a HD erase and reinstall everything. So, this has me a little freaked out! I have never done this and am afraid of the results. In particular, my 3rd party applications such as all my Adobe Suite applications. I no longer have access to the initial start up and install Creative Suite CDs! At first apple support said Time Machine WOULD NOT back up 3rd party apps. Then I get an email and said they were mistaken and it WILL with a link to an article. Yet I see nothing about it with in the article I was sent. SO, has anyone successfully reinstalled their Mac from a Time Machine Backup along with any 3rd party apps?
    What is also frustrating is that I asked if I could just go back to Snow Leopard since I had no issues with iChat using that OS. I was told I would have to do the same erasing of my HD either way to reinstall that OS. Ugh.
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, as long as you let TM do a full disc backup (that is, you do not exclude anything in the TM backup settings) you will have a backup that allows a full system restore - puts everything back just as it was.
    You can also clone your system using the shareware app SuperDuper or the donation-ware app CarbonCopyCloner
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/
    Both of these apps will make a true clone (literally, a bit-by-bit copy) of your hard drive onto an external drive.  This clone will actually be bootable itself (you plug in the drive and hold the option key during startup then select the clone to boot from).  You would boot from the clone, then reverse-clone it back onto your internal hard drive.
    If you are really serious about being highly confident of not loosing files, you could use both  - I keep a TM backup on one drive, and 2 clones on separate bus-powered hard drives.
    P.S. even if you had not had any issues, you really, REALLY should be keeping regular, up to date backups anyway - things go flooey without warning sometimes and you risk loosing everything on your machine if you DON'T keep regular backup copies available.

  • Should 3rd party app installed from app store has admin or wheel in info box?

    I installed a free program from the app store called Kitabu (an epub reader). Click on the info & it said wheel. I thought only programs came with the mac by default will have wheel and all other programs (ex: iWork, microsolf office) will have admin instead--which they do, I checked. Is this normal for 3rd party app to have wheel group?
    Also the quick look plugin in this program (kitabu) works fine when I 1st installed it (quick look & preview function can view page cover of epub books). Then it stopped working. Is it the program fault or my mac?

    Either or.
    Trash the program's plist file which is located inside /Library/Preferences.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.

  • No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

    I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
    1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
    2. Syncs to great up until last night
    3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
    4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
    5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
    Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
    Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
    Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
    Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
    Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
    I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

    Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

  • Backing Up 3rd Party Apps

    Hello,
    I tried searching this...maybe I didn't put in the right string of words...How does one go about backing up 3rd party apps. I have gotten that Error 523 or whatever it is...where I basically have to reinstall everything on my phone. I can usually pull the email/contacts/messages backup off my computer but I don't know how to specifically back up my 3rd party apps. 
    Also, since I am asking anyway...is there anyway to wipe my phone completely using desktop manager? I have heard people say they use JL commander or whatever...I'm unfamiliar with that program and was wondering if there was a way through DM before I search out another program. 
    I appreciate the help in advance.

  • All 3rd party apps Crash - Already Restored FIVE Times to date - Apple fix?

    Since the 2.0 update my apps have had constant crashing issues. Usually after opening 8 or so apps in a row (very easy to do when downloading and testing many apps) ... Powering down and powering back up usually helped/fixed the issue, if temporarily.
    Now, since 2.0.1 I've had times when one app will crash to the home screen, and from that point on ALL 3rd party apps immediately crash. Powering down the iPod, and powering back up does not fix the problem. Resetting the ipod (Sleep and Home buttons held) does not help either. I've also tried just Syncing the ipod, but this, alas, does nothing to help.
    When it's come to this in the past I've had to do a complete iPod restore, which if it weren't just for the time taken restoring, the time taken re-arranging the icons/screens puts the process into the realm of a major pain. But having a way to assign apps to a particular screen on the ipod/iphone within iTunes is a topic for another thread.
    Is there a way around this (crashing issue) that I'm just not seeing?
    I'm tired of being and eff-ing guinea pig; this is not why I'm an apple user, this is one of the reasons I make fun of Windows people and get them to switch TO apple.

    Well, now it's official, thanks to 3rd party apps and/or faulty system software my iPod is Dead.
    When I created this thread I was having all 3rd party apps crash constantly, and instantly upon launch. The myriad of methods used to recover it to working order failed. I decided to do a Restore and use the last successful backup. It got to about the 95% mark on the restore and hung for 2 hours. The exact same place for 2 hours.
    Not having the ability or patience to wait for my iPod to get done tying up my computer, I reset it. Now, all I've got is a $299.99 Paperweight that constantly displays a nice and shiny apple logo on it's screen.
    An attempt to restore it to factory settings only gave me an error dialogue box:
    The iPod "Kuhnaydeein's iPod" could not be restored.
    An unknown error occurred (0xE8000035).
    Now what am I supposed to do? I don't live near an Apple Store, the only place that sells apple merch is the store where I work, in the department I work. I know our policy on taking back/exchanging iPods.
    What I've failed to mention is how I'm EVER going to sell one of these to someone if there's a chance they'll just be getting the same FAULTY Hardware/Software I'm now stuck with? Is Apple going to come to the rescue, read this post and replace my iPod? I sincerely hope they read this, because they don't give the slightest hint at any Direct Email addresses on the Apple.com website. (What's with that anyway?)
    So what do I do now? RESTORING IS NOT AN OPTION.

  • Loss of Music and Video and 3rd party apps not working on 3G

    I've had to restore my 3G iphone about 10x now. The phone keeps "losing" my music and video, and then the 3rd party apps don't work. A reset does not help, I have to restore my phone and set it up as a new phone each time. I went to the Genius Bar, they gave me a new phone, but said it was likely a software issue. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a way to fix it? I waste like 2 hours re-syncing my phone every time this happens. I'm so disappointed with this iPhone 3G...I wish I hadn't sold my original iPhone and could switch back to that. Please, any help that anyone can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thank you for replying. Did try this again, and then another recovery (holding down 2 buttons 'til Apple icon) but no luck.

  • Resolving how 3rd party apps show free space?

    I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am now just learning about "Local Backups" and how they work.  This seems like a pretty neat feature and great extra data protection.  However, I now have trouble with 3rd party apps that monitor and notify about free space.  (ie iStat Menus, TechTool Pro, Disk Inventory X).  As I said, I think this new feature is great for added data protection, but it seems it has a huge flaw if it is going to make all other applications show incorrect Used/Free space.  In fact, since the Local Backup seems to use as much space as it can and will only free the space as needed, it seems every application or tool will show that the disk is always on the verge of being completely full.  Has anyone found ways around this?  Or are there any good apps that monitor and/or display free space (like iStat Menus) that can account for, or rather disregard, the space being used by Local Backup in the same way that the Finder window seems to?  I hope that in future OS updates, Apple does something about this like making the space used by Local Backup hidden in some way.

    Sorry, you didn't get my point:
    'Unintentional' means accidentally. I always wonder how people can delete files 'accidentally', requiring trashing them and then, in a second step, empty the trash.
    I do not empty my trash before having backed up, as I was pointing out. If I did, it would not be 'unintentionally'. It would be intentionally. And I should get fired. Unless I can have the backup drive there within 40 minutes.
    My point is, YOU're heading to work in the morning, not having backed up for the past 2 weeks to the external disk since your backup is always with you on your 4 months old Mac, still under warranty and unlikely to break anyway. Crossing the street from the parking lot, you need to jump to avoid some crazy driver. You make it, only your laptop slips from under your arm, drops onto the tar, and worse, before you can grab it, that bus is rolling over it. The HDD/SSD/whatever is history, and so is your work and some other important coroprate docs worth 2 weeks. Will you continue to walk into the office to resign, or will you ask the bus driver to run you over as well, please?
    My view is unchanged.
    Can we stop this here, please? My data is safe, and yours I've written off a while ago.

  • 3rd party apps stopped working on 3gs

    This is similar in nature to other threads but the difference appears to be that I started from a 3gs phone with 3.0 installed. After changing the home page the screen stopped responding to touch input. I resetted the phone and all 3rd party apps. cease to function. When I click on the appropriate icon, the app. begins to load for about a second and then returns to the icons menu. Pre-installed (apple) programs all appear to function normally. I tried restoring from backup but this did not work. I am loathe to try a system restore but it looks like this is the only option available. Any other suggestions?

    Hi - hoping my experience helps someone in this situation. I had the same problem as reported: all 3rd-party apps suddenly stopped working. Rebooting the iPhone did not help.
    Here's a sequence that ended (so far) with mixed results.
    1) Tried the above suggestion of downloading a free app.
    2) Launched an app and then another to test, all seemed well.
    3) Manually clicked the iTunes Sync button.
    4) Tried launching another app - that one failed - but the two that worked above still worked.
    5) Deleted the newly downloaded app and then redownloaded it.
    6) Launched every 3rd-party app - all worked fine.
    7) Manually re-synced again.
    8) Launched various apps - most work, a couple don't.
    Will continue to work on this, but the problem seems to be related to syncing. Downloading an app appears to help. The results may vary depending on the app that's not working.
    So... try downloading a free app and launch the non-working apps before resyncing to see what happens. Syncing may break them again, but at least you might be able to get the apps back for a while without resorting to a factory reset. If you don't need to resync, you might turn off automatic syncing or use the non-USB power cord to recharge and avoid the problem.
    Perhaps corruption is happening somewhere, either on the iPhone or in iTunes, when syncing. It's frustrating.

  • Every single 3rd party App crashes

    Hello,
    I'm running a 8gb EDGE 2.0.1 iphone. Every single 3rd party app crashes all of a sudden. I tried restore. all native apple apps load, but even when I just synce 1 3rd party app to the iphone (so all native iphone apps and 1 3rd party) that always crashes to iphone home screen.
    I need to fix this because I need to use 3rd party apps like zenbe (which was working perfectly for me a week ago)

    ok i had this same problem i called apple the guy i got new exactly what was happening and game me a work around. follow these steps exactly. this is a mac work around only dont know about windows.
    1 make sure your phone is not connected to your computer.
    2 delete every app directly from iphone by holding a app and then clicking the x
    3 go to settings general reset and choose reset all settings
    4 now on your computer open itunes on the menu bar go to store and deauthorize your computer
    5 quit itunes
    6 reopen itunes and reauthorize the computer then exit itunes
    7 open isync go to preferences and select reset sync history and exit isync
    8 open itunes and connect your iphone. it may freeze itunes for 2-10 minutes but dont exit just
    wait it will eventually recognize your iphone.
    9 after itunes recognizes your iphone go to the music tab and select a small playlist to sync then got to the app tab and choose sync selected apps and if anything is selected deselect them.
    10 if you have remote app select it if not download it for free and select it
    11 then select two other apps and click apply
    12 it will start to sync. it will say removing apps let it do this. depending on how many apps you have it could take a long time (mine took more than an hour)
    13 if you get error 0xE800002E after you are done just repeat steps 1-8 it wont take long this time
    14 if you dont get the error check to see if your remote works if it does check the other apps if they dont work repeat steps 1-8 if they do you are done just restart the iphone to make sure the still work
    15 if you got the 0xE800002E error and have repeated 1-8 sync remote and two other apps and it should work if it does not try again it worked for me the first time though.
    it is a long process but be patient and all will work out.
    that is it until apple fixes this stupid issue which should never have gotten passed testing.
    hope this helps
    if u need help or inform me of how it went u can email me at [email protected]

  • Can I set "open with" for files - associate file types with a 3rd party app

    I have PDF file attachments inside my OmniFocus application. When I double-tap them, they get opened in the standard Apple PDF viewer. But I have a better 3rd-party app which opens PDFs and allows me to edit them (mark them up) - I'd like the attachments to open in this app instead of the normal PDF viewer. I don't want to have to switch to the 3rd party app to open it - it's important to me that I can place comments on many, many PDFs inside of OmniFocus. So:
    1) is it possible to ask the iPad to have all PDFs to open in this 3rd party app?
    2) if not, is it possible to name the attachments some other extension (e.g., .xyz) and tell it to open all .xyz files with the 3rd-party PDF viewer?
    thanks in advance,
    Mike

    just out of curiosity: how did you see this without buying the app - is there some general way to get a trial from the App Store?
    When You view the features of the app in the app store, there are pictures of some of the different screens under the main description of the app. I swiped through the pictures and the fourth photo shows a screen - An image in the black box pointing to the image name - roots.jpg. In the window to the right - it says -Action - at the top - in the grey border. I wouldn't have known that the arrow didn't give the same functionality as it does when you open the PDF in Mail. But I was able to see the trash can, the curved arrow and the blue done button on the right. I never heard of the app until we started to posting. Unless the app specifies that there is a free trial period, there is no way that I know to try an app for free.
    The thing that I find odd is that you say the arrow is greyed out making that feature unavailable. That arrow icon on the iPad in Safari or Mail is what directs you to the options for - open in, print, email, etc features on the iPad. I assume that arrow must have some functionality somewhere in the app. Not sure why it is greyed out. But I stress, I know nothing about the features of the app or what it is designed to do.
