More dissapearing mailboxes - 10.4 migration "lost" local mailbox

I recently got a new iBook running 10.4, and transferred my old user account across (from a 10.3 system). I had all the IMAP stuff come across OK, but I also had a local mailbox, called Archive, with an archive dating back to 2001. Mail now thinks that's an IMAP mailbox which isn't in sync with the server (You need to take this account online in order to download it blah blah). All the messages are listed, but unopenable. In ~/Libarary/Mail/Mailboxes I have a folder called Archive.mbox, which is about 800M. About half of that is an mbox file. So the data is there. How do I get this new version of mail to recognise it as a local mailbox and not an IMAP one?
iBook 1.3Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Tiger Mail doesn't think the Archive mailbox is an IMAP mailbox stored on the server. This error message indicates an "overstuffed" mailbox issue that was brought over from Panther Mail or brought to the surface with the mailbox conversion process to Tiger Mail.
Did you create a backup copy of the Panther Mail folder at Home > Library > Mail before upgrading to Tiger?
If not, try the following.
Quit Mail first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Archive.mbox. Copy the Archive.mbox folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Within the original Archive.mbox folder at Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes, delete all files/folders except for the Info.plist file and the Messages folder. The mbox file and any other files/folders within the Archive.mbox folder are left over from the mailbox conversion process to Tiger Mail. These are no longer required by Tiger Mail and are not deleted after the conversion process is completed.
Launch Mail and select the Archive mailbox in the drawer. At the menu bar, go to Mail and select Rebuild.

  • Errors in Migrating a Local WD to the NWDI.

    Hi Friends I have one doubt on Migrating a Local WD to the NWDI.
    1.     I have created DC in DTR perspective. Now go to WDJ perspective  and switch to the Navigation frame, select and expand the local WD.Right click on the src folder and select the Copy  and Select the new DC go to src folder, right click on the src folder and select the Paste option as shown below.
    2.     Now Select the existing Activity Click on OK Button.
    3.     Now switch back the Web Dynpro Explorer frame, right click the newly created DC and select Rebuild from the popup menu, as follows.
    4.     Once the build is complete you can expand your new DC and verify that the copied components are available.
    5.     If you examine the Implementation of the new components you may notice that the code is full of compile errors.  This is a bug within NWDS u2013 and should be remedied as follows.
    In the Navigator right click on the DC and select Close Project from the popup menu.
    Now right click on the DC and select Open Project from the popup menu
    Go back to the Web Dynpro Explorer and rebuild the project.
    This should resolve these errors, but should this fail u2013 restart NWDS. I have done these steps for Migrating a Local WD to the NWDI.
    6.     Right now I am getting error. When rebuild the DC that time I am able to getting there warning message u201C.jar files not foundu201D that time I have to go to DC properties and open java build path here .jar files not available.

  • Migration of local SLD to Central SLD on different host.

    Hello Experts,
    We have migrate the local SLD existing on the SAP PI System to a new Central SLD on a different host on SAP Solution Manager system.
    I followed the OSS Note 720717, which contains the description of the changes that have to be exectued in the SAP XI/PI Environment, during the SLD Migration. This note does not give any details of the description of changes for the other SAP Systems such as SAP ECC, BI etc registered in the SLD.
    Can anyone provide the OSS Notes, SAP Doc URL or the steps on how to migrate the local SLD existing on SAP XI/PI System to the new Central SLD on the SAP Solution Manager system.
    Thanks for help in advance.
    Best Regards,
    Haleem

    Firstly
    I recommend to avoid having 1 SLD for multiple clients - like Solution Manager, BI, ECC
    This is because clients may end up having conflicting requirements for the same SLD
    - for example the small user group for Solution Manager may have a flexible and easy going policy on J2EE downtime
    - but if you take down the Solution Manager J2EE that houses the SLD and PI uses this SLD - then you could have a severe affect on PI useage
    Secondly
    Although you can migrate content - this still does not guarantee the target landscape will work
    - you may still need to manually re-implement target landscape configuration
    let me give you an example
    SLD 1 is being moved to SLD 2
    Portal 1 is pointing to SLD 1
    Even if you migrate the content of SLD 1 - including the ECC and Portal technical system landscape information
    Portal 1 is still pointing to SLD 1 - this then needs to be manually re-pointed to SLD2
    and that might not be all the complete steps either !
    The complete steps of migration from the client side may not be available  (I have found only steps to
    migrate SLD content not migrate client use of the SLD)
    - they may only be available as the documentation for the original configuration steps required to step SLD and the client
    - therefore when migrating SLD you must go through the client setup documentation for SLD and check your
    target landscape is consistent
    Lastly - other considerations include
    Lets say you also export model and CIM content from SLD 1 to SLD 2 - this means SLD 2 has an import line from SLD 1
    - if you decomission SLD1 then you need to switch the import line which is not recommended - this could cause severe problems and may require you to create a new import line to upload content from SAP /swdc (which you need to keep the SLD bug free and latest definitions)
    Just a few thoughts on issues you may encounter
    Best wishes

  • How to migrate a local calendar to a WebDAV server?

    Because I do not like to sync using iCloud I installed Maverick Server to have a local server for my calendars. The other devices in my home can then connect to it. I found it easy to set up using this webpage and it works with a test calendar. I add something in iCal with my MacBook and seconds later it appears on my iPad.
    But I am puzzled on how to migrate my local calendars in iCal to the server. I tried to export them to the desktop and then import them into the server calendar I see in iCal. Then iCal gives this warning:
    Should I proceed? I do not want to damage 12 years of iCalendar data. I have backups, but preventing a mess is always easier.

    Surprisingly, this morning all calendars showed up in my iPhone. Apparently there is a delay.
    But now there is another issue with the error:
    "The server responded with an error.
    Access to “event from years ago” in “the second added calendar” in account “local” is not permitted.
    The server responded:
    “403” to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation."
    [Ignore] [Try Again] [Revert to Server]
    Each event starting with the beginning of that calendar (years ago) seems to generate an error. It will take a day to click on Ignore for all those events.
    Will ask this in a new thread. For now the issue this thread is about is solved, thank you. I also updated my profile, except for my iPad. No 'edit' option next to that one. Strange.

  • Is there a way to merge/migrate my local home folder to a network account

    My family has a number of Macbooks and a couple of iMacs and we've been thinking we'd like centralized storage for our media collection and other files and I'd like an easier way to deal with these machines to keep them updated, etc.  Also we swap laptops and desktops depending on who needs to do what at a particular moment.  Is there a way to migrate an existing home folder on a macbook to an account on the server.  What I would like to be able to do is to be able to log into any computer in my home and have it look like "my" computer, with files, settings etc...  Since I am new to the server world I am confused by the terminology re: network accounts and mobile accounts.  Is there a good guide someone could recommend to get me started.  Thanks.

    Hi Yodalogger,
    I hope you have yourself sorted.  I've been through alot of pain with lion server, it's very buggy at best.
    Your best bet is SolidWood's suggestion of network accounts if you are constantly on the same network.  I use this at home and it works very well.  For simplicity, you can use WorkGroup Manager for this as it's more intuitive!
    If, you need a mobile account, this is what I did.
    I migrated local macbook accounts to server machine (migration assistant).
    I renamed the /User home folders on macbook to _backup.  For safety.
    I deleted local accounts from macbook.  Keep your _backup home folders!  Also, you will need to have a local Admin account in place.  Make sure you do not delete it.
    On Server.  You will have local accounts created for all your migrated macbook accounts.  Just remove the accounts in system preferences but ensure you leave the /User home folders in place when prompted.
    On server. I created the new users (old mackbook accounts) and groups in the server app.  This doesn't create or overwrite your existing home folders.  So go ahead and name them exactly the same as before and make sure the accounts match your home folder's names.
    On server, using profile manager, I set up mobility etc., for the device.  That is, you need to enroll your macbook with the server and configure services for it in profile manager.  You can add a placeholder for this in profile manager to configure stuff.
    A handy tip to alleviate all the automatic push settings pain and heartache is to set the general payload to manual.  You can then wip up the profile manager from your macbook to install the profiles manually.  (easily done).
    On Macbook, login with local admin account.
    On Macbook, go to system prefs and accounts, set up your open directory stuff in the login options.
    On Macbook, log out of admin.  Back at the login screen, you should see your admin account and 'Other.'  Give it a few minutes or so to figure this out.  It needs to contact the server etc. for info.
    Once you have 'Other' click on it and login with one of your new network accounts.  This will log you in as a network account - you should see all your usual settings that previously existed on your macbook when it was a local account.
    At this point, you whip up profile manager.  http://yourserver.local/profilemanager  Change yourserver to the name of your server.
    Login to profile manager with your admin account.  I do this as I will be downloading a few profiles that only admin has access to.
    So, you need to download a trust profile, your device profile, and a profile for remote management if you have set this up.  You may have seen various download buttons knocking around the the interface.  In downloads double click these to install (if it doesn't do this automatically).
    Log out of everything.
    Log back in with one of your network accounts.  This time you should be prompted to create a mobile account.  Say yes and let it sync your home folders from server to macbook.
    Once each mobile account is created, you can then further define user/group settings in profile manager.  You download these by logging into http://yourserver.local/mydevices as the user and download the appropriate settings.
    I think thats it.  Sorry, if its not detailed enough - I'm presuming you know yourself around a mac!  I have to say the process is straightforward but Lion Server is not.  I do not get consistent results with it and I'm still trying to tame it... 
    By far the easiest option is network accounts.  Mobile accounts need more attention.
    I hope this helps (and anybody else!)
    Paul.

  • TIME MACHINE ERRORS using MIGRATION, lost apps and serials

    I will try this one more time
    I recently bought a 2,3gH Power Mac G5 with a 500GB Hard Drive and 16GB DDR 2 RAM and Bluetooth for $400 from Craig's List
    It seemed to run fine but when running Disk Utility it had ALOT of Disk Permission issues...and when I booted from the DVD LEOPARD and hit REPAIR DISK it found two separate errors UDF...
    I decided to set up an external Seagate HD and set up TIME CAPSULE and completed what I deemed to be a FULL BACKUP,,,which should have included my FINAL CUT PRO, LOGIC PRO, Multitrack Studio, and Microsoft Office 2004 among other apps which made me jump at buying the unit
    The bootable LEOPARD disc gave me no choice but to do a FRESH INSTALL which went smoothly
    NOW, there are 30 different backups in TIME MACHINE, and when I tried RESTORING the earliest one dated FEB 28th, the programs either will not launch correctly or are asking for
    NAME
    ORGANIZATION
    SERIAL
    If I had known about CARBON COPY I would have CLONED the whole disk
    ALSO when I MIGRATeE using TIME CAPSULE, not only do the aforementioned EXPENSIVE programs not work, but there come the DISK PER
    MISSIONS problems
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE
    Matthew

    I have used Time Machine to restore an entire hard disk and system (10.6) and it worked fine. I simply followed Apple's instructions. I have also used it successfully to do a migration to a new computer from an old one (old computer iMac with 10.5, new computer Macbook Air with 10.6) and I was very pleased with the results. Furthermore, in each case all the serial numbers and authorizations for MS-Office, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Photoshop Elements, and Adobe Illustrator etc. were preserved. In fact the ONLY thing requiring manual intervention in each of these instances was a reinstallation of Canon printer/scanner drivers for a MF8120 device.
    I think the acquisition of a used, older (PPC G5) computer via Craig's list is probably a slightly risky proposition at best, but maybe worth a try if the cost is right.  Often people sell their used computers when they start to act up or freeze. Sometimes those problems are not easy to fix.
    Here are some suggestions for some of those serial numbers, if you still have those Time Machine backups to peruse to try to retrieve them:
    Office 2004 issue. You need to find certain files from the old system (e.g. from your backup) and put them into the right places on your new system. Since at least one of these is an invisible file, and I think Spotlight won't find it easily, you can download and use EasyFind
    ( http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11076/easyfind )
    to search for and find these files if they aren't where I indicate below:
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2004 (or X)/Office/
        OfficePID (normally an invisible file)
    Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
        Carbon Registration Database
        Office Registration Cache
        Microsoft Office Settings
    Get these files from your backup of the old system and put them into the same places in your new system. I THINK this will fix your Office 2004 problem. If it doesn't work, Microsoft has a support phone number to call about lost or misplaced install disks.
    As for Final Cut Pro, here is where Final Cut Studio stores its serial number info, maybe there is something similar for Final Cut Pro:
    Follow this path:  HD >Library >Application Support> ProApps >Final Cut Studio System ID
    Unfortunately, some software "hides" this registration info by putting an obscure invisible file somewhere where one might not think to look. It's to guard against piracy, but it also impedes legally registered users (like you) from doing something legitimate, like move from one computer to another or reinstall.
    I think you can contact each company and explain your situation; I expect they will tell you where the file (or files) is that you need to move over. After all, you're not asking them for a new serial number. Tell you you are restoring from a full backup, you don't have the original install disks, and just need to move the correct files from the backup over to the restored disk.
    This will all be easier if the account name is the same on the new disk compared to what it was on the old disk (and on the Time Machine backup).

  • Migrating from Local Database to OpenDirectory, and Migrating IMAP Boxes

    I have a Xserve G5 running 10.4.11 and using a local (non shared) directory with all of my users on it. I'm planning to install a new Xserve (10.5.2) to use as a Fileserver and Filemaker Server, essentialy leaving the mail service to the G5. However, i want to use the OpenDirectory on the 10.5 server in order to maintain only one user database. I'Ve tested out the functionnalities and it looks like that there is no problems using the 10.5 OD with my 10.4 server, however, since 90% of my users are using IMAP mailboxes, i cannot migrate the database to the new users
    Example:
    On the local directory of the 10.4 server, i have a user called Wiggum using IMAP mailbox, working fine. I tell my 10.4 to use the OD on the 10.5 server (user Wiggum already configured over there with the same settings, passwords) and when i remove the user from the local directory, leaving only the OD, the user is working OK, mail is working fine but i loose all contents of my IMAP box, i get only the new mails.
    Is there a way to migrate the IMAP boxes from the users on the local directory when i migrate them to the new OD.

    I would think the first shortname is different in OD vs. the local user. Thus, creating a second mailbox and this is why you see only new incoming mail.
    Check if you have "duplicate" mailboxes. If yes, you could copy mail from one to the other and reconstruct the mail database.

  • More overstuffed mailbox issues.

    My co-workers and I have recently experienced overstuffed mailbox issues and I have been using this forum to figure out what to do. We had been getting "Not downloaded from server" info, and sure enough the mailboxed in question are as large as 1.7 Gb.
    Now the only problem is, I don't know how, if at all, the messages from this folder can be retrieved so that some of them can be saved. Ideally, we would like to delete most of the messages but keep the most recent in an active mailbox for searching purposes. Then we would be dilligent in the future about deleting old work to avoid this in the future.
    But what can I do right now? I read something about a "Breaker Script" but I don't know how to get it, or what the exact procedure for using it would be.
    Please help- thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Allan,
    Thanks, this worked perfectly! Is it possible, though, that using this script might make the split mailboxes, or maybe the Mail program in general, run more slowly? This seems to be happening to me today, but it may be unrelated.
    Thank you again,

  • HT4847 I bought 15g of cloud space and when I changed my password it went down to 5g and says I need to purchase more how can I recover my lost backups I stll have more gigs on my old password

    I bought 15g of cloud space and when I changed my password it went down to 5 g and I lost my backup how can I restore my old backup without buying more space because I had enough space with my old password

    When you say you changed you password - was this for the same Apple ID, or did you just log into icloud using a different Apple ID and password?  If it was a different ID, then you are now connected to a different account, hence that is why you went back to 5 GB.

    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • Lost Local Netowrk...

    Help, I cant get my Mac back on the local network... I am not sure what I did but my server I turned off yesterday, then rebooted and no longer accepts the IP from my Switch for DHCP. It keeps wanting to put it's own self assigned IP address in. I cannot get to be seen by the switch and therefor do no have access to any of my network hard drives or the internet. I can manually assign an IP but it still doesn't connect to my local network and I still cannot see my network hard drives... I can get to the internet but that is it. What happened?

    Lost 1 Port on my router. What a headached, Time to buy a new router.

  • Lost local root folder

    My website was stored on a usb key which I have lost.
    So I created new folders in my documents and am trying to connect to the website to import the folders, but I can't.  An ftp error pops up and it cannot make connection to the host.
    I am using the same settings as before.
    Any help appreciated.

    Create a new site definition.  Go to Site > New Site.
    Tell DW where on your hard drive you want to store your site files.  See screenshots.
    Servers:  Enter your FTP log-in credentials.  Root Directory is whatever your hosting provider told you to use.  If unsure, check with your host.
    Click the Test button.  If you cannot connect, click on More Options.
    When your Test connection is verified, Save your settings and Export to an .ste file.  Store your .ste file in a safe place in case you ever need to restore or transfer your site definition settings to a different computer.
