Multiple Copies of Users After Migration

I just bought a new iMac and used the Migration Assistant to move my user accounts and programs from a 933 MHz G4. Both machines are operating with the current 10.4.10. In Finder I can see the four accounts I migrated. When I go into the System Preferences > Accounts, I see five copies of the four accounts I migrated. I tried to delete the extra copies and was able to delete four copies of two of managed accounts, but it will not let me delete the fifth. Those two accounts do not show up in the Finder. I tried to delete the copies of a Standard account and put it in the deleted users. The account shows up in the Login screen but I don't have access to that account.
I've got five copies of the Admin account in the System Preferences > Accounts (only one copy shows up in the Log In box) but I don't want to mess with it until I've got a better handle on what's going on.

Multiple copies of songs after transfer to new computer

This is really annoying me.
I bought a new laptop and I want to transfer all my music from the old to the new. The new laptop has beatsmusic on it (factory installed).
So first I downloaded iTunes. Immediately after loading ITunes I had access to all my music I purchases through the iTunes store. So far so good.
BUT, 95% of my music is CDs that I burned one at a time into my iTunes library. So that transfer is critical. I have an external hard-drive I use to backup all my music. So I transferred the entire library to my new laptop from the external hard drive.
All the music transferred - but not as iTunes MP4 files. Nope - they all became beatsmusic files. I don't want that. Frustrating that computers have to force people to have what they don't want.
I am also dealing with windows 8 - so accessing music library is no longer easy like it used to be.
Anyway - I tried converting all the beats files back to iTunes music files (like they were originally!) Now I have 2 and 3 copies of every song in my library.
The whole thing really irritates me.
Why can't consumers have what they want? Do I start over now? Delete the entire library off the new computer?
I am not going to delete 20,000 songs manually one at a time so forget that suggestion. And the darned beats music is still the default music player.
Considering throwing away all computers and becoming a survivalist in the woods.

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Alternativey see this migrate iTunes library post, you may want to revisit the transfer method. If you get it right you don't import anything or create duplicates in the process.

Can't Create User after migration

I recently upgraded a PPC xserver running leopard to a new Power Mac running lion server. Everything seemd to go smoothly but after a more thorough look I am having issues. The main one being I cannot create users in the I go into the server.app and the + is greyed out. The only way I have been successful in adding users is through system preferences.
I am also having a trouble with my web server it appears as though even though the service is running I can't get any pages to load via a web browser.
Last issue I know of at this moment is I am una able to start the VPN service. Everyitme I click on the toggle it turns on then goes back to off.
Instead of doing a clean installation I migrated aftert reading that it would be my best bet.
Can anyone hlep me that may have had this or a simlar problem?

The prof_attr file contains the comment:
Can perform most non-security administrative tasks
for System Admin.
In addition I don't see a corresponding entry in exec_attr and without that then you aren't going to be using that role to run any commands. You can try it in SMC to see if it works there but its doubtful.
You'll probably need to create a separate role and add the user to that role.
A grep of exec_attr shows that User_Management is probably what you're after.

HOW TO DELET B1i USER AFTER MIGRATION.

Dear all,
We have a customer enviroment when we migrated their 4 db, we saw a lot of B1i user.
1st. db has 198 B1i user, the second has 123, the 3th has 29, 4th has 38 B1i user.
Someone knows why this user is multiplied with the migration to version 8.8 or when we updated each time a patch and if there is any way to delete them en masse?
I hoppe you help.
Regards
NANCY

Dear Nancy,
The multiple B1i users are usually the result that someone deleted b1i user. This default user should not be touched.
To stop more and more new users, check here: So many B1i users auto created by SAP
Thanks,
Gordon

No Users after migration

I used the migration assistant to transfer data from my iBook G4 to my MBP. The transfer went OK but when I started my iBook again it would not boot - it would stall at the grey? (I'm colour blind) apple screen. I tried to repair permissions and got a message dumb me didn't write down but that said something like my Users folder had vanished. I tried to connect the iBook to the MBP in target mode again and was able to confirm that the Users folder was empty.
I then decided to install and archive but I got an error message saying I should try again. I tried again and got the same message. My only option was to perform a clean reinstall - TG I usually back things up.
Does anyone know of any issue with the target mode/migration assistant between a G4 and Intel Macs?
TIA
Daniel

I found out somewhere in these discussions that this is some sort of issue between Intel based Macs and PowerPc Macs.
I was fortunate enough to have backed up my stuff!

Restoring all Users after migration to new environment without Full Import

Hallow all,
We are migrating our database from windows to Sun Solaris.
We came to situation that, we have lots of created users who do there transactions on other users tables. Now I don't want to do full import & let oracle do all the work for me. Cause we will change the structure of tablespaces & the default tablespaces for users.
Now we came to problem,
We want to create all the users without asking everyone to change his password, if we put default password for all.
I want your opinion about if the following will work:
1- I create the new tablespaces.
2- I create the main users & assign there default tablespaces.
3- on the old database I create a table
create table user_list as select * from dba_users;
4- I import the needed main users
5- I import user_list table into system account;
6- I write procedure with cursor on user_list then create users while looping on that cursor with any password.
7- I write procedure with cursor on SYS.USER$ then
alter user User_Name identified by values 'F894844C34402B67';
here the Hashed value will be selected from the User_list table where name=name on both tables.
What you think about the above steps, especially No. 7 ?
any other suggestions to do the work ?
Best Regards,
Naji Ghanim

Hi ,
Spool the create users scripts and run in new db.
select
'PROMPT Create User '||username||'...' text,
'create user "'||username||'" identified '||
decode(PASSWORD, 'EXTERNAL','externally ','by values '''||PASSWORD||''' ')||
decode(DEFAULT_TABLESPACE,'SYSTEM',null,' default tablespace "'||DEFAULT_TABLESPACE||'" ')||
decode(TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE,'SYSTEM',null,' temporary tablespace "'||TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE||'" ')||
decode(profile,'DEFAULT', null, ' profile "'||PROFILE||'" ')||';' text
from dba_users
where username not in ('ADAMS','ANONYMOUS','BLAKE','CLARK','CTXSYS','DBSNMP','DIP','DMSYS','EXFSYS','HR','JONES','MDDATA','MDSYS','MGMT_VIEW','ODM','ODM_MTR','OE','OLAPSYS','ORDPLUGINS','ORDSYS','OUTLN','PERFSTAT','PM','QS','QS_ADM','QS_CB','QS_CBADM','QS_CS','QS_ES','QS_OS','QS_WS','SCOTT','SH','SI_INFORMTN_SCHEMA','SYS','SYSTEM','TRACESVR','TSMSYS','WKPROXY','WKSYS','WK_TEST','WMSYS','XDB')
You can modify the create user script for the new tablespaces.

Thomas.

Office for mac not working for all users after migration

Recently purchased macbook retina display and used migration assistant to move everything over from a macbook pro 17" (late 2011). After the migration my login (admin rights) has no problem on the new macbook, but my wife login cannot use the Office for Mac without being asked to do an install.
Problem is, the version we have goes through the install and then asks to 'register' the product and the version is no longer supported so you cannot register, therefor the program will not run.
Am I missing something here? Everything still works on both of our sign in's on the old macbook pro, and on the new macbook retina, office works on my sign in only.
The original install was a download version, so there are no 'disks' to do a re-install.
Any suggestions?

You need Acrobat 7.1
Is your Office 2004 up to date?

Mail-enabled Public Folders not accepting email from external users after migrating from Exchange 2003

We are in the process of trying to decommission our Exchange 2003 server, all of the replicas have been moved to the Exchange 2010 SP3 servers. However, each time we dismount the public folder store on the 2003 server (just to see what won't work) nobody
from outside the company can send mail to the mail-enabled public folders (we use these to communicate with vendors and customers).....they sit in the 2003 mail queue until I remount the store.
I have mail disabled them on the 2010 PF server, waited a few hours and then mail enabled them again. Same issue. Interesting to note is that when the PF store on the 2003 server is dismounted people inside
the company can still send to the mail-enabled PFs (which is good). I am stumped.

Blocking users after migrating from WCS to NCS?

One of our people in our Helpdesk blocked a user mac because of an alert that said they were using the WiFi in an unsafe manner. Probably streaming or file sharing. Anyway when they blocked the mac they noticed that in the older WCS it would ask if you want to block this on all controllers. The new NCS he said did not have that option that he could find. So the user just authenticated with the same machine to a new controller which then had to be manually blocked.
I could not find in NCS the option to block the offending mac on all controllers either. This does not mean it isn’t there? Can we get a ruling on this? Bug? it worked in WCS.

We have NCS 1.1.0.58 and I believe when we block the Mac from NCS it only blocks if on the controller that it is currently associated to.

Multiple Copies of Contacts after Importing to Mac

I have been challenged with contacts since I changed from PC to Mac and then added iCloud. At this poing I have managed to lose all of the contacts on my iphone, ipad and icloud as well as all the groups I set up and have 33,000 contacts in my address book and I should only have about 1200. It doesn't really matter at this point what i have done...but i need to know how to get from where I am to having only the actual contacts (1200) on all my devices. I certainly cannot spend the days it would take to delete each individual contact that is replciated.
Thanks

I have the same issue, but about 20,000 duplicates!
good
b lord,
James.
perhaps you need some utility like the one mentioned in the following thread. (haven't used it myself, so can't vouch for it beyond that i know that it exists.)

Clean remote Mailbox after migration

Hello ,
I am Migrating mailbox users form Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 SP3 some users after Migration there Mailbox still in exchange 2007 as mailbox user instated of mail user and in exchange 2010 as mail box user .
but its for some users .
can you help me please why it happen

Hi,
Do you mean the mailbox in the original mailbox change to the soft-deleted state?
If so, I recommend you check MAS's suggestions.
When mailboxes are moved from an Exchange 2010 SP1 database to any other database, Exchange doesn't fully delete the mailbox from the source database immediately upon completion of the move. Instead, the mailbox in the source mailbox database is switched
to a soft-deleted state. For more details about this, you can refer to the following article.

Shouldn't be having a problem, then. That's the version for ML. Try taking your question to the Safari forum - https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari - that's where all the Safari experts hang out.
