Migration assitant "all other files"

ok so i just got my free 24" iMac from apple and its amazing! I have my MBP beside it and am trying to transfer stuff from it to the imac using migration assistant. Its going ok but there is an option for all other files.. they total 1.3GB but what are they and where can i find them??
Regards

when i did i, a box came up and it had a check box tick beside a folder (i think it said Macintosh HD but I cant remember and am in the middle of a transfer so I cant check) I could click an arrow to drop a list of sub folders such as pictures music documents and the like (actually now that I think about it it was probably my entire home folder and the very first folder that i mentioned was probably named after it). the last option was "other files" and totaled 1.3GB. I decided not to tick it but if I find out what it was I may go back and get it.
Thanks so far

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Unfortunately changing the epub text size does not change the view at all. The images do not seem to change when the text size setting is changed.
The resolution of my machine is already at the max setting, so increasing the resolution is kind of impossible.
Any other suggestions I could try? Thank you for your suggestions!

Cannot print a pdf off my mac 10.6.x. I can print all other files Epson printer 'Cancelling'

Cannot print any pdf from my mac to Epson printer
I can print all other files except pdf
Using the most updated Adobe Reader XI
Using the latest driver for the printer from Epson
Using a USB cable
Whats up?

I have the same problem, I cannot print ANY PDF file from my Mac running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and using Adobe ReaderXI 11.0.4 I have verified that all files print properly when printed from within Preview or within Libre office. There is no option in the Mac Adobe reader to reset the installation like there is on Windows. I have also tried deleting reader completely and re-installing and the same behavior.

Folder View - Folders arranged alphabetically first than all other files ..

Hi,
is it possible to view folders like windows or linux?
I found nothing in the internet, only a lot of of people having the same problem like me.
I want a folder view, where the folders came first sorted alphabetically than all other files ( not sorted after kind ) arrange alphabetically.
Making a "space" or other symbol like "!" oder "_" is no option for me.
If you use "Pathfinder" or "muCommandr" or "xFolder" you have this view. why is this not possible to select this view out of the box.( This should be no problem or ?)
And please no discussion whether this view makes sense, for me it makes sense for other maybe not.
With kind regards
DFens
PS. i tried this:
http://fahmiesalleh.blogspot.com/2008/04/mac-os-x-finder-sort-folder-before-file .html
but this makes only the folders on top, the other files where sorted after kind not alphabetically

No. Not something that Apple incorporated.
If you want to report this to Apple, either send Feedback or send bug reports and enhancement requests via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

After opening HFM forms in excel the colour in all other file get changed

Hi,
Once we open (import) HFM web form in excel via smartview and refresh it, color in all other excel files (normal excel file) change to black and we have to close all the excel file to to get rid of this issue. Its happening onlywith few users. Is there any setting in excel or in hyperion smartview to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,
Aj

I also think its not SV related issue and it is purely excel issue. I checked all the options in excel but could not find what causes such changes. Only some users are facing such problem and all the excel option setting are identical in two computer one with problem and other without any such problem.

How do I open the file & get my bookmarks & QuickNote back. help pls

Why not install and try Firefox portable, it may well be a good troubleshooting step. Try running it from an external memory stick.
The threads you referred to
* [/questions/956861] was closed but never solved
*[/questions/958824] similar
Some system information would help
*How much RAM is installed ?
*What is the total size of the Hard Disk Drive ?
*What is the current amount of free-space in GB ? and as a percentage ?
I try not to use Windows but certainly at one stage a rule of thumb was 20-25% free space should be available. Under about 12% defragging of a disk would likely fail. A page file would need to be larger than the amount of RAM maybe 1.5X , and a hibernate file would be the size of the RAM.
* Do not Hibernate if you are low on HDD space.
I suggest you proceed as follows
#Answer the above questions. I worry you have a lack of diskspace.
#Do a full scan with multiple and up-to-date anti-malware tools. Do not rely on Avast alone. No tool picks up everything. Report back what you scanned with and what was found.
#Backup and keep whatever profiles may be good or may contain recent information such as passwords and bookmarks, but do not use them yet.
#Download a new installer then Do a clean reinstall of Firefox, ensuring that the program folders are deleted before you re-install.
#Now restart, you expect the first restart to work. Close down and try again does it now work OK ?
The detailed instructions in the thread you read [/questions/958824#answer-436552] should help you.
If you have continuing problems is this after a restart of Firefox, or a restart of the Windows Operating System ?

HT4796 After using the migration tool , all my files were moved but not I have two logins.

I have two logins . One when I set up the Mac and one label Dell that have my documents and itunes library on it. How do I merge them?

Move the files from one account to /Users/Shared/ and then into the other account's home folder, or drag one account's home folder to the other's desktop.

Creative Cloud Share for all other file types

Can we use the storage like Dropbox? That is, sharing Word documents and any other things between teams and clients? Or is it restricted to Adobe created files only.
Thank you.

I believe people who use Adobe Creative Cloud, are the same professionals who make/ generate those audio files - mp4 in their studio.
Is Adobe saying Audition software fails to integrate into cloud?
Isn't it odd?

Why is print in grey and PDF not a saving option for only one of my photoshop files? All other files I open are fine. Please help!

I am trying to turn a photoshop document in to a pdf. Print is in grey and under Save As PDF is not an option. Any other PS document I open allows me both options. What is wrong with this document?!
What I have tried and was unsuccessful:
I changed it to illustrator and saved as PDF but the colors were very dark.
I have renamed it and opened again.
I duplicated the layers to another doc.
Closed PS and opened it again.
Please help. Thanks!

Here is what I see...
It is in RGB color / 32 bits/channel
Any suggestions?

HT4889 what is included when you migrate users, settings and other files?

When you use the Migration Assistant, what is included in "users," "settings" and "other files"?

I think it's offered as an option at some point during the installation. But you can always start the Migration Assistant at any later point (it's located in Applications/Utilities) - that's the same application.
That's what I did, actually. I did a clean install first and only after everything was up and running did I hook up my old G4 and transferred things over with the help of the Migration Assitant.

I wanted to syncing my itunes to my ipad 2 (ios 4.3.3) and update to ios 5. but i did not have back up. So i lost all photos other files. Pls help...Txs

Hello,
I wanted to syncing itunes to my ipad2 in order to upgrade ios from 4.3.3 to 5 but lost all photos + all other files...
txs for your help:)

Scroll down and see the "Update Your Device Using iTunes" section here:
HT4623
There is no "update icon" in iOS versions earlier than iOS 5.
The update is very large (over 1.2 gigabytes). You need a good internet connection to download it to your computer. Maybe you'll need to take a trip to a city to get a good enough connection.

DW Code View font different for one .aspx than all others???

Mornin' All!
I can't for the life of me figure out why the font in this
one .aspx (welcome.aspx) is different than all other files on this
site. When I go EDIT > PREFERENCES > FONTS here is what is
shown when welcome.aspx is the file currently opened:
Font Settings: Japanese
Code View: MS Gothic Size: 10pt (small)
I tried changing this from "Japanese" to Western European,
but after I click OK nothing happens, and when I go back in to Font
Preferences it's back to Japanese.
Welcome2.aspx and all other pages show these settings: (this
is how the code view has looked on ALL pages until today)
Font Setting: Western European
Code View: Courier New Size: 9pt
What do I need to do to get welcome.aspx to let go of the
Japanese font settings?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Not seeing all the files on a shared Windows server??

I'm using a Windows Server 2003 to share files between Macintosh an Windows users. But sometimes the Mac users (10.4) don't see all the files (in the same folder) that the Windows users do! I've checked on the server and I don't see any (obvious) permission problem ... So why aren't all the files displayed???
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Jerome

Hello Herr Jerome, I have the same problem, here in our company. We have around 70 employees connected to a windows server network. There are 68 PCs and 2 macs, one of which is mine. We have a special directory on the server called macdata, but other users place their files in their own respective directories, to which we normally have access.
Since yesterday, if anyone else places files from PC on to the server for me, I cant see them. I can see all other files but not the ones copied since yesterday.Our support guys have tried pretty much everything including resetting permissions, to no avial. finally they received an error message: Caution older mac systems will have problems reading more than 65000 (plus a few files). But there are in advance of 100 000 files on our server, but the extra 35 000 wernt put on there just yesterday.I´m running Macosx 10.4.11 which is by no means an old system.
I´ve spent the day hunting the Internet for a solution, but Info on this subject seem to be scarce! I mean this is a very big problem in a business environment, our IS dept has been trying to scrap the macs for years and I´ve been working here on a mac and fighting for 15 years. So now our IS has at last a valid reason for switching us to PCs.
I don´t understand Apple not publishing these limitions in a prominent spot on their website, not to mention a solution because it´s a crucial limitation, people should know about. Apple truely is not interested in corporate, nor in its truly loyal champions bravely fighting aganst the PC onslaught
