Migration techtool problem

I just started my new iMac and used the migration feature. I have techtool 4.1.1 on my old machine. When the migration finished it started with Techtool splash screen and " ? " marks in the dock for everything but the finder and trash. I tried to throw TT away but it wouldn't let me so I restarted in terminal mode and removed all files containing " techtool". I restarted iMac (after removing Firewire) and same thing -- techtool screen. I read threads and checked those things and places with no luck. I logged out and logged in under another admin account and there was no problem, looked perfect. I rechecked user libraries-- nothing. Any ideas??
Also my Adobe, Filemaker, Quickbooks, etc -- applications didn't transfer but the Application support files did.

I fixed it myself -- do I get points? Apparently Paralels was not ready for the update. Once they did an update it was fine

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

  • Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

    So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
    I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
    Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
    Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
    So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
    I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
    So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work.  Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
    I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    --Jeff

    iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
    If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

  • 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 - Problems copying 2009 MacBook Pro data to new MacBook Pro

    Purchased new MacBook Pro and tried to copy old MacBook Pro (circa 2009) data to new one using migration assistant.  It stalled after about 20 hours via wireless.  My question is how can I restore the new machine to factory settings and start over?  Or is there a better way to copy the remaining files/applications?  Please note that I've tried to run migration assistant again and it keeps exiting to login screen on the new MacBook Pro - after connection is made.

    How much RAM does it have?
    In spite of what Apple says, 4GB is not practically adequate with the new 64-bit systems (Lion and successors). All MBPs from Early 2011 forward, with user-installable RAM SO-DIMMs, can take up to 16GB with no problems and with greatly enhanced performance.
    And if you still persist in running the systems with 4GB, make sure there's ample paging space on the HDD.

  • GRC 10 Upgrade: Migration Tool Problem

    Hi All,
    I am in a process to migrate the GRC 5.3 data to GRC 10.0. I have successfully installed migration tool GRCACMIG00_0.sca. I accessed this tool and found the below option on the initial page:
    1. DAta Export: Export AC 5.3 Configuration and Master Data
    2. Reports: Export Migration Data+Quick Links
    3. Administration: Administer Data Export Processes+Quick Links
    I have successfully exported the configuration data. However, when I am trying to export the transactional data, much to my surprise, I found that, the option Export AC 5.3 Transactional Data is not available under Data Export.
    This link is clearly shown in the migration guide. However, I am unable to get it.
    Has anyone got inot such problem? If yes, please share the solution to this problem.
    Woiuld appreciate help
    Regards,
    Faisal

    Hi Prashant,
    We are already on higher SP level on 5.3. What else can be causing this issue.
    Where can we get more information on this. Transacional data export option is NOT VISIBLE when migration URL or application is executed

  • Unicode Migration - Password Problem

    Hello, friends.
    I've migrated an 7.6.06.03 instance to UNICODE, using db_migratecatalog.
    My original DBA password had 10 characters. After migration, I couldn't log into the new UNICODE version, neither through ODBC (unicode or not) nor with SQL Studio. But with dbmcli I was able to do a sql_connect with the old password and then change the DBA password to 9 chars. It's the new max password length, and I can't define a password greater than 9 chars.
    The problem is that our applications are configured with the 10 chars password, and it can't logon anymore.
    Is there a solution to this, or will I have to reconfigure my applications? (would be a pain... )
    Thanks!

    Hello Victor,
    yes there is a password length limitation:                            
    Passwords may not have more than 9 characters.

  • 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?

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

  • Migration assistant problems - 10.4.11 to 10.6.4

    We just purchased a new Mac Mini (10.6.4) to replace the old Mini (10.4.11). I've tried to do the Migration Assistant multiple times this week.  I can get as far as the "transferring data" message with a progress bar and a time estimate. The problem: After 5-12 hours, the time never changes! Today I even tried transferring just a few files - 1.6GB - just to see if it would work better with fewer files. The time estimate told me it would take 13 min. After 5 hours (we left the house), the time estimate had changed...to 26 minutes!  What am I doing wrong?
    Here's what I've done so far:
    - Updated OS software on source computer.
    - Installed 2008 Migration DVD CD share software update (running 1.0.6 on the source computer)
    - Both computers are set to never sleep or go into energy saver mode. Even turned off screen savers.
    - Connected computers via Firewire 400/800 cable - 5 or 6 attempts with no progress
    - Also tried wireless connection - 2 attempts, both time network connection failed.
    - Tried the "Internet Sharing" instructions on the Apple Support site. Didn't work either.
    - Source harddrive mounts on new computer's desktop. When I double click on it to try manually transferring....new computer freezes up and I get the never-ending spinning circle.
    I'm only trying to transfer about 50GB. Judging from others' posts, that should take me 2-3 hours. Right? I've run migration assistant on other computers before and never had any trouble. Is there some update I'm missing? What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help!

    rather than migration assistant, use setup assistant - even if it means going for the "second chance" per this user tip.

  • 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 ..."

  • Data migration scripts problems

    Hello,
    I've been using SQL Developer for a couple of months now ; I'm working on the migration from a SQL Server database to Oracle 10g, and the migration features of the product really saved me a lot of time so far.
    However, there is a couple of small problems with the generated data migration scripts :
    - on the SQL Server side, the script that calls for bcp specifies no encoding ; as a result every Unicode information is lost. I think that by default you should at least call bcp with the option of keeping the original encoding information.
    - on the Oracle Side, empty strings ( = CHR(00) ) are converted into a whitespace character ( = ' '), when they shouldn't. This is all the more annoying to correct manually when you have a lot of tables, since there's one control file per table.
    Apart from that, everything's fine :)
    Regards,
    Isabelle.

  • Migration/Playlist problem

    Hi everyone, I've tried searching on this issue and haven't really found an answer yet. I recently purchased a (used) Macbook Unibody which had iTunes 8 on it. I have an older iMac and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my files, apps, etc. While the process wasnt perfect, it has generally worked ok. One problem, though, was in iTunes. When I went to open iTunes the first time on the Macbook, I got an error saying that the playlist was created on a newer version of iTunes (I had just upgraded the iMac). So, I got the update for the Macbook, downloaded and installed it. I then made a copy of the entire iTunes folder from the iMac onto a portable hard drive then copied it to the Music folder on the Macbook. The music, cover art, downloaded apps and podcasts have all been installed and are accessible via iTunes on the Macbook. However, the playlists are no where to be found. I had read in other threads that it was critical to copy over the entire iTunes folder, not just the folder with the song files. But that doesnt seemed to have worked.
    Any ideas? I realize I could recreate these but there are over 5500 songs and that seems like a daunting task!
    Macbook is running OSX 10.5.6 FWIW.
    Thanks

    Just to close the loop on this, for other reasons, I ended up doing a complete hard drive erase and Leopard reinstall. Today, I copied the iTunes folder from the old iMac (same exact copy as I used earlier and didn't get my playlists) and everything worked perfectly. Well, at least the playlists are back. The only thing that doesn't show up when I open iTunes are my downloaded iPhone apps even though that folder was within the iTunes folder. No biggee though, I'll jsut download them next time I sync the phone.
    Thanks again for the help

  • Migration assistant problem w/ Itunes not opening

    I just bought a new IMac with 2 HD. 1 solid state 256G and 1 regular 1TB drive. I tried to transfer all my information from my Macbook aluminuim with no firewire using the migration assistant with my last update copy of the time machine backup in an external drive. I went Ok, however the installation was done in the 256 D and went almost full (it never appeared and option of where to install) My intention is to have the system and applications on the Solid State and the rest in the 1TB.  I create a new user folder on the 1TB and copy with the finder all the files and folders of my user. Then I change in account the path of the user folder to the new one. Corroborate it on the finder and delete the original user on the solid state. Applications and system remain on the solid state. Then I change all the rights and privileges of folders in library and system to my user giving full permition. It worked fine since I could open correctly agenda, mail and ical. However, I have problems in Itunes. When i tried to open it it says it cannot be done for the permition. When I look up for Itunes folders rights It doesnt appear my user and when I try to change this (as in the rest of the folders) doesnt give me even the option of doing it. I tried to download a new Itunes but then when trying to open the dmg. it says that the installer is corrupt. Any ideas in how to fix this?

    Hmmm...that is an interesting question. It shuts down now, but would not before? Perhaps Norton was busy doing something. To be totally honest, I hate Norton, its expensive and a HUGE memory hog. My PC ran much slower when I was using Norton. Since removing it and going to a free antivirus program, it has speeded up tremendously.
    Depends on what you disabled during MSCONFIG. Whatever you disabled was most likely the culprit to that as well.

  • Server migration - any problems with services?

    Hi everyone
    I wanted to know if someone knows a good approach to migrate SL 10.6 from one system to a new system. Especially, I would like to know how I can migrate the Open Directory information so that I can use the new server as Open Directory. Can I use the Migration Assistant and just copy the user accounts?

    Hi, I've recently migrated from OSX 10.4.11 to 10.6.2, and with some pain!
    The migration assistant worked great for OpenDirectory settings, in fact all my mac clients had no issues at all, the problem was with the samba settings. I've finally managed to solve the problem (practically from the Windows machines users could not authenticate against the domain).
    I've detailed all my findings in this post:

  • Migration key problems

    Hi All,
    We just got our Discovery System and did the initial set up using the Quick Guide.
    Just having some problems with the migration key.
    Had applied license(Netweaver type) as suggested by the quick guide, but the migration key that was generated and sent to us didnt seem to work.
    Then came to know(through SAP) that R/3 kind of licnese needs to be applied, so did that too. But unfortunately the new migration doesnt work either.
    Has anyone faced this kind of problem?? Or any hint as to what has gone wrong.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Sunita
