Migration Assistant problem: Lion to Lion does not work

Background:I have a 2 year old 15" MBP. I just purchased and tonight am setting up a brand new 27" iMac 2.7Ghz i5.
I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion the day it was released on the MBP. A day later, I purchased the iMac which still had Snow Leopard so I used the "up to date" program to get a free version of Lion. I did a clean install of Lion on the iMac since it was brand new.
Problem: I connected the MBP and iMac via Ethernet cables connected to my Airport Extreme. Migration Assistant worked on the initial steps, finding the MBP and matching the authentication codes. After that, I get to the screen where the iMac is looking for files on the MBP and calculating the size of folders to move. On this screen (on the iMac side), an error box pops on and off many times for about a minute then stays there with the following: "Your other Mac stopped responding. Make sure that all of your network devices are connected and turned on. If you cancel the transfer, use Migration Assistant to complete the transfer later. Looking for your Mac..." It only gives me the button to "Cancel Transfer"
My connections were fine. I was able to connect until this point. This issue happens whether the connection is Ethernet network via Airport Extreme, both connected via Wifi from the Airport Extreme, or connected directly via Firewire 800. I've tried everything I can think of. No solution and have not found this issue here or on any other forum. Any ideas? I really want to use the Migration Assistant route with this. I've use it before on previous Mac's with no issues.

I just talked to the Apple support and they suggested to try the migration using Time Machine. That's was also my idea this morning so I'm trying to do this now.
For the Apple support I add the repeating part from the console here:

Migration Assistant Problem: Old MacBook Pro does not see new MacAir

I have a brand new MacAir (OSX 10.7 and a 4 year old Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6)...trying to use Migration Assistant using Wifi, they're both on my network, but the new MacAir can "see" the old Macbook, but the old Macbook doesn't "see" the new MacAir...the wheel just keeps spinning as it tries to find another computer to migrate to but it just never sees it. What am I doing wrong or what can I do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Sounds like there are two issues:
1. The Migration should start from the "To" computer asking for the stuff from the "From" computer. Sounds like you're doing it the other way.
2. The MacBook Air isn't visible. Correct that by going to System Preferences ---> Sharing on your MacBook Air and see if things look good there. You should at least see a message near the top starting with "Computers on your local network can access your computer ..."

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.

Air 2.7 and MacOs Lion: iPhone packager does not work

hi. After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion the iPhone packager does not work. It throws an error concerning the Application Version Number. Is this a Know bug? Is there a work- around? Thanks. Michael.

Yeah sorry, the start of my descriptor looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7">
<id></id>
<versionNumber></versionNumber>
<filename>d</filename>
<description/>
<name></name>
When I go to compile the app the compiler inserts that line into my descriptor at the very bottom (just before the application tag closes). It's weird, I tried setting the <application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/2.7"> back to 2.6 and it works and seems to compile in 2.7 (as I noticed the timer bug).
Anyway, I only tried 2.7 because I heard the GPU fullscreen bug had been fixed, but given that the timer issue still remains I'll go back to 2.6 for the time being.
Thanks

Migration Assistant Problem in Mountain Lion

I just purchased a Mac Mini Server (i7 quad core with 16GB memory and 2 750GB drives). The machine seems to work well and is quite fast. My problem is when I try to migrate everything off of my Macbook Air 13" using Migration Assistant. With both computers (Mac OS X 10.8) connected to the same LAN segment (either wired or by 802.11n) and apparently talking on the LAN properly (no packet loss on pinging the host router), I follow the on-screen propmts for MA and the source computer is found. When I start the migration though, I consistently get a dialogue on the "to" machine (Mac Mini) that states that the MacBook has "stopped responding" and the whole process hangs up. Exiting the MA apps on both sides reveals that each machine appears to work normally on the network with no indication of LAN communication issues. Has anyone seen this behaviour or have any practical solutions to suggest?
John

Use Disk Utility on both to Verify the Drives, what does it report?

After Lion upgrade, camera does not work on internet services like facebook

After upgrading to Lion, the onboard camera no longer works with internet sites like Facebook.
I tried this with Safari and Google Chrome with the same lack of results.
You will select take photo in Facebook and the next screen is locked up. This failure occurred on two separat Macbooks.
Yet this does not happen with my Macbooks with Snow Leapord - I tried.
Any ideas on how to fix this.
Lion appears to be the first Windows like Mac operating system (glitchy). Not ready for primetime. Is this an omen of what Apple without Jobs will be like (again).
My second computer to be upgraded had conflicts with certain start-up programs that had the effect of locking out the Internet connection.
I had to manually delete these programs to get Internet to work.

Seeing the same issue on a C2D Macbook, camera worked fine yesterday afternoon using GTalk. Upgraded to Lion last night now the camera no longer shows up in any of the utilities that used to be able to see it. Don't buy the "Must be a hardware problem" too wide spread for it to not be software related.

That seems unusual unless you changed drives.
If you upgraded the drive it sees the computer as a different one to the original backup..
I am not sure that it isn't better to do a fresh backup but you can try and inherit the old backup..

HT1338 Upgraded to Lion. IWork does not work. How do I fix this?

I increased the size of my hard drive to 1TB and upgraded from Snow Lepord to Lion. iWorks 09' (keynote, pages, numbers) and iPhoto do not work. I have used software updated and everything is current.
Is there a patch of something else I need to do to make them compatible?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Step 1
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

*HELP* Paypal and iTunes problems! Billing agreement does not work!

Hello
I hope someone here can help me as this is driving me insane
I want to use PP for iTunes and have set up numerous billing agreements through PP, but iTunes does not seem to recognize them. I go through the whole thing of signing into my account repeatedly and it will send me to PP where I over and over set up the agreement, but when it is supposed to send me back to iTunes it just sends me to a page on PP where it states that my session has timed out.
I chatted live with someone from iTunes yesterday who suggested as I use Mozilla firefox that I should use IE instead when doing this. SO I took everything off and started over again and nada/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

Battery problems-new battery, but does not work

Help! I have purchased a battery a few months ago. It worked fine for a little while, and then one day, it would not power from the battery. Here is the strange thing-when I plug it in, it regesters the battery as fully charged. I even let my iBook sit for a few days without using it. I plugged it in and it registered my battery as about 95 percent charged, but stilll would not power up. I don't get it! The battery seems good, but it does not power from it. It obviously charges it, but does not power from it. Ahhh! Please help!

Will resetting the PMU erase my hard drive or cause damage to my RAM?
No
What does it mean when it says Warning: Any RAM disk will be erased. ?
This is an outdated warning since OS X doesn't support RAM disk. A RAM disk is a technique of using some RAM as a pseudo-disk drive.

Lion Internet Recovery does not work

Lion Internet recovery appears to be broken...
On my 27" i5 QC 2010 iMac when to receover via Internet I am unable to do so I tried it using wired networking first and then wireless, same lack of results on both.
I succesfully identify myself with my Apple ID at which point I'm told that changes have been made to license terms and I need to agree to them... no problem, I click on OK to view and agree... nothing happens. No new pop-up allowing me to click on 'agree', eventually the install disk selection un-greys itself and when I click on 'install' I have to got through the same circle of identifying myself and being asked to agree to never appearing new license terms...
Brialliant, yet another Apple failure. My time is money and I did not want to go through the process of re-installing SL, bringing it up to date and then going through AppStore Lion installation... I sure hope I do not get charged another half dozen times for a product I already purchased (like it happened when I initially installed Lion).
Anybody else encounter the same recovery problem? Solutions?

It looks like somebody else did run into the same Apple problem and found the solution...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15829120#15829120
The solution is to go to AppStore on another computer and login with your AppleID. You must then agree to their new terms & conditions. The only way I knew how to do that was to try and install one of the free apps whereupon I was asked for the agreement.
My iMac is now happily downloading the install...

Mountain Lion Kerberos GSSAPIDelegateCredentials does not work against Solaris Machine

Hi,
After upgrade my systems to Mountain Lion the ssh option GSSAPIDelegateCredentials fails when tries to login in a Solaris 10 machine. The ssh client close the connection after the message "Delegate credentials" when runs in a verbose mode. The server side says "child closed the communication pipe before user auth finished"
Using only the option GSSAPIAuthentication it works, but I need the credentials delegated because in the Solaris server I need that credentials to be able to mount the network home disk (security reasons).
Using the same configuration in a Lion client, this option works well (like in Snow Leopard and Leopar, but that OS uses MIT distribution instead Heimdal).
If the server is a Linux box, instead Solaris, and using MIT Kerberos distribution, the GSSAPIDelegateCredentials works too.
Any idea about how to fix this Bug? Or I have to wait to the next patch release?
Thanks in advance
H.

Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume, and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then reboot as usual.

Same old problem Norton Toolbar Extension does not work with the latest Firefox 5 .

When will norton have a update.

That Site Advisor add-on duplicates features that are built into Firefox. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/phishing-protection/
That said the Site Advisor 3.3.1 is blocklisted by Mozilla due to the Site Advisor extension being the #2 cause of crashing the Firefox 5.0 betas. McAfee was notified of the problem long before that extension was added to the blocklist. Now it is up to them to fix it. <br /> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/
I have heard that SiteAdvisor 3.4 is now available, which should fix all FireFox 5.0 issues. It is available from siteadvisor.com . Not sure why McAfee isn't doing an automatic update for their users.
