Migration issues (with Mavericks)

Yesterday I got my new Mac Pro.. Hurray!! But when I wanted to migrate my data from my old iMac I ran intro trouble. Whappend:
1.)
I started the MacPro. It asked the usual stuff and I decided to migrate from an existing Mac. Unfortunately that was not possible, because the chosen Mac seems to have an newer version of the OS installed than my new Mac Pro ... Hmm .. strange as I expected the Mac Pro also to use same Mavericks (that I also have on my iMac
2.)
Ok, second trial: Instead of choosing another Mac as source I decided to take a backup from TimeMachine (available through my NAS). That took a while (2h) and after a restart I got the usual login display. Unfortunately, I was told that the chosen user was not allowed to be used ... Hmm ... Strange again.
So I started the Mac Pro in single user mode (cmd-S) and on the prompt I was able to find out, that under /Users none of my users was migrated. Obviously no login was possible. I could image that this happened because my existing users were stored on a different partion on my old iMac and I did not create such a partion on the Mac Pro....
3.)
Next trial: I decided to start the Disk-Utilities (cmd-r) and from there select the "Install new OS" option to start from scratch again (I wanted to setup at least on new uaser on the MacPro and afterwards migrate the old users). The Mavericks OS was downloaded (during the night...) and after I restarted my Mac Pro again instead of getting the usual Setup Assistent I again got the login screen presented without being able to setup some new user....
Now I am stuck.... What can I do to get at least one user setup on the new machine?? Please help !!
PS:
In the Disk-Utilities (cmd-r) mode I tried to start the migration assistend from the terminal but I could not find it one the one hand, nor do I know how to start an ".app" binary from the shell...How does this work? I read something about the "open" command on the web but in single user mode (cmd-S) this command seems not to be on the defined PATH....

This was the approach that help me:
1.)
Start the MacPro with Disk-Utilities (cmd-r). Delete the "Macintosh HD" partition
2.)
Choose "Install Mac OS Mavericks". That will take a while ....
3.)
Start the Mac, follow the instructions and setup one single user, e.g. "admin" with no icloud account setup.
4.)
Log into the Mac using the new created used. Then start the migration assistent and follow the instructions choosing the user+data you need from the old mac..
In my case -where my user data was on an extra partition - I was told (in the dialog that let you choose the users) that the user account will be created in the local "Users" folder on MacintoshHD. Otherwise there is a hint that no data will be created... may be I missed this in the first trial ....

I use an older Macbook Pro from 2007 with OS X 10.7 – had issues with Mavericks, so I uninstalled it. I want to get a trial version of AE CS6 but I need to know the specs for it.

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

Canon pixma mx922 compatibility issues with Mavericks?

Thinking of getting canon pixma mx922. Any body had compatibility issues with Mavericks?

Go to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669 for a list of printers that are still supported.
If you don't see the printer, check Printer software no longer available through Software Update.

HT6030 Sound output issue with Mavericks

There is a sound output issue with Mavericks and Firewire800 Audio devices. I am using a MIO 2882 but now people are having issues with other devices as well. Is this something that will be addressed in an update? If not I will need to downgrade my OS.

maybe the adapter went bad.....fast. try getting one thats made by sony. or apple. i have had bad luck with some cheap products i bought.
or maybe thats the brand you have ad luck with. i remember when i use to get some quantom fireball drives, and they just died on me the next week. im down to two and keeping a good eye on them. especially fujitsu. the only ones i have GREAT LUCK with are Seagate and Western digitals drives.

Scanning Issue with Maverick and Office Jet Pro 8600

Just wanted to add my voice to the numerous problem reports. Specifically:
1) I could scan just fine until I upgraded to Maverick (Mac OS 10.9)
2) to address the problem, I downloaded the latest HP drivers for 10.9-didn't help
3) Tried to use the separate HP Scan application-no luck; couldn't fine the computer (even though I have been printing regularly)
4) Based on the HP problem solution posting (which seems a bit out of date), tried to uninstall the software and reinstall; the uninstall would not complete, although it did delete all of my printers.
It appears that it is finally time to abandon HP for printers, if they can't keep up with Apple's releases.

Hi amaltz,
I understand you are having an issue with the scan software working with Mavericks. I can't help you with this. My suggestion is to completely remove all HP software from the computer and reinstall. Follow the instructions below to resolve the issue.
Scrub
Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
Hold down Control, Option and Command
While holding the three buttons down, Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Repair Disk Permissions (I know many of you have done this but because we have now done a scrub it is good measure to ensure non of your permissions differ)
On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the computer.
Now you will have a fresh start and be able to reinstall the software. Please let me know if this resolves the issue you are experiencing. If it does not, I will gladly follow up.
Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.

Are there any compatibility issues with Mavericks and EMC Celerra File shares, particularly with the SMB protocols?

Our company uses a EMC Celerra file share, but most of our users are Windows based. We have a small production department of 7 macs. Starting with Snow Leopard, we noticed some issues with SMB. We were able to resolve those issues, but had to wait to upgrade to Lion because there were additional SMB or permissions concerns with the Celerra file share and Lion. Now, we are again waiting to upgrade to Mavricks because of the way it handles user permissions. Does anyone using Mavericks now also connect to a EMC Celerra file share? Thanks!

Adobe Premiere Pro Issues with Maverick

Hello Apple friends, photographers, and video editors
Since I installed Maverick, I have the following issues with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6:
Why in **** did I update before waiting 6 months...
- browser window flashes on then disapears when importing new files.
- browser window sometimes shows all items gryed out when importing files.
- cannot "Link Media" by example multiple TIFF and one EDL file for subtitles. 1st time menu quickly appears then disapears, then all is greyed out.
I have a mid 2012 Macbook PRo Retina with SSD @ 50% capacity. All else is extremely fast.
All my Adobe Master Collection CS6 is up to date.

Suggest you post on the Adobe forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

USB drive issues with Maverick

Good day Apple friends,
Since I installed Maverick I have numerous issues with my Macbook Pro-Retina mid 2012.
When I connect my usual USB drives they don't react the first time. I always have to deconnect and immediately reconnect to make it work.
It is not a question of delay, it is a question of 1st or 2nd time. I basically go: connect, disconnect, reconnect and voilà!
It happens with many 2-4-8 GB USB sticks which were fine before Maverick. It does NOT happen with SD cards though.
Why?

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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Installation issues with mavericks

I have an early 2011 - 15" Macbook Pro which I have recently tried to upgrade to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The installer grey's out the only hard drive on the system despite having 349.0 GB free on the drive. I have looked at the permissions, I have checked the format and even done the CMD + R on reboot but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? There appears to be no partition on the drive so I am stumped. Funnily enough my 2008 Mac Pro had no issue with the upgrade. Any thoughts or ideas welcome.

10.1.3 Migration Issue with data-sources.xml

Hi:
Running into lots of migration issues for an application built in 10.1.3 EA, migrating to 10.1.3. production, mostly in the BC project. Here's one: the database connections built in EA were not carried over to prod, so they needed to get re-built. No biggie. But now the data-sources.xml file in the model project has duplicate entries for my data sources. I have tried directly editting that file and removing the duplicates, but when I go to run my application (ADF Faces & ADF BC) JDeveloper hangs. When I abort JDev and re-start it, the duplicate entries are back in data-sources.xml (and yes, I did save the file after making the changes). It seems that the xml file is built dynamically from definitions stored elsewhere. Where is the source? What will I need to modify to get the changes to take?
Thanks.
Johnny Lee

There is new control over when/whether JDeveloper add/updates your data-sources.xml file for the embedded server. The settings are located here:
Tools | Embedded OC4J Server Preferences | Current Workspace | Data Sources
There are some settings there that control whether/when we update the data-sources.xml

Software issues with Mavericks

Is Microsoft Office 2008, Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 compatible with Mavericks???

Took a peek at that sight didn't look like it had information on all versions. Looks like it is sort of a "wikipedia" type honor sight. It had the two versions before and after my Photoshop listed as okay, but no information for my version. Googled it and it looks like I'm good to go. Just thought this resorce would be quicker and easier. Sort of worried about my scanner, so might hold off on updating for now.
