PC to Mac conversion problem

Trying to help out a PC-to-Mac convert here. He has been using his iPhone with iTunes on a PC, which has since gone belly up. He just got a brand spanking new MacBook Pro! The problem happened when he hooked up his iPhone to his new laptop and the first thing that happened was his contacts on his iPhone were deleted. He does not want the same thing to happen to the rest of the contents on his iPhone. Any advice that I give this Mac newby?

Yes. He should use the backup from his PC to move the iTunes library to his Mac. That should contain all of the music, videos and apps he had previously been syncing to his PC.
This article may be helpful. http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html
If he did not make a backup of his PC and the drive from the original PC is unreadable, he may have a bit of a problem.

  • PC to Mac conversion problem on (older) ipod

    My ipod was set up with a pc (about 1 1/2 years ago). Now that I'm running the latest OS on my ibook G-4, I want to erase it and reformat in mac. I also just bought a new nano. I plugged it into my ibook and everything works great. When I use the same cable to connect my older ipod (still running pc), I have the following problems:
    The computer doesn't seem to "see" the old ipod.
    I get a "do not disconnect message" on the old ipod. The battery doesn't charge with the cable (even though that same cable charges the new nano).
    In fact, the battery on the Ipod seems to get depleted. I don't know if there is a cable compatibility issue, a port issue, the PC vs Mac issue, or all 3. I have a whole new audio library on my computer, so I'd be happy to dump the stuff on the Ipod, but how?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    solved with help on another forum. OIder ipod requires older cable as well. Thanks all

  • Dreamweaver cc html entity conversion problem in mac -NO utf-8 related answer please

    I probably am fighting against a bug existing in DW for a while, and i'm really on the edge of bursting out! 
    Here are the specifications:
    Dreamweaver CC from creative cloud (also tested w/ CS5.5 too) installed on mac, OS and DW user interfaces are english, and on mac turkish keyboard layout is also installed.
    I have been using DW for maybe 15 years, since it was macromedia.. But was always on windows. This is the first time I use it on mac. Here is my problem step by step:
    1- Dreamweaver > Pereferences > New Document > Default Encoding: Western (ISO Latin 1) (NOT UTF-8 PLEASE, IT KEEPS THE CHARS UNCHANGED, ISO LATIN1 IS IMPORTANT)
    2- Go to Design View,
    3- There are 6 special characters in Turkish (times 2 for the caps versions of course), type:
    ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç
    4- Go back to code view, what i should have seen was:
    ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç
    But I see:
    ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç
    There are 3 chars (and capital versions) NOT converted to html entity at all. Which were: ĞŞİğşı
    But I should have seen them as: ĞŞİğşı
    Any help would be appreciated, I do not want to leave my old friend DW just because of a weird conversion problem...

    Ok, when you look at the code view, what do you see exactly?
    do you see unconverted
    ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç
    or converted
    ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç
    Here is one of my reasons:
    I sometimes create newsletters in turkish for my customers, and the html files i prepare are sent to customers attached as inline through various versions of outlook or thunderbird, or through i completely different email sender company (none is sent by me, i only create the html file). And most of the time the headers and some coding are cut off from the code when used to send as newsletter, and i have no control at all on it. so i have to create absolute correct viewed/rendered html files since i have no control at all on which sending method will be used or which os or browser or mail system will be used to open it...

  • Applet in Apple Mac OSX problem

    Hi all,
    have developing an applet long while using WinXP platform, everthing seem ok, but when i try over Apple Mac OSX, i has a loading problem saying that init failed to load ArrayList as error message said:
    ArrayIndexOutOfBound, 0...
    but when i debug print out the ArrayList content and its length, i'm sure that this ArrayList is NOT NULL and its length is NOT ZERO either. what is happening here? oh, ya, this only happen in Safari, in FireFox for Mac no problem, even Camino also pass the test, why? anyone have idea about this? because i'm new to Apple Mac.
    also, there is another question whereby, when i use FireFox for Mac to load the applet, the applet load seem no problem but it just can't display properly. what i mean is that in Windows platform (IE6), this applet show entire applet successfully, but when i try it in Mac, it show only a part of applet without any error, but when i try to refresh the page, applet is now successfully show, why?
    lastly, when a button of an applet being click and this will bring a new window with some parameters value, its work on IE in Windows platform, why it won't work for FireFox or Safari for Mac? i see prompt out saying is security problem, is there any workout of this? thanks. to summary out of junk above:
    _______________________________FireFox_____Safari_____IE
    _______________________________Win | Mac_____Mac____Win
    1. load applet for 1st time___________OK_|_NO_____FAIL____OK
    2. refresh applet after 1st load failed___OK_|_OK_____FAIL____OK
    3. when applet button click (security)___OK_|_NO_____-_______OK
    p/s: all above test was using same applet with same parameter and value.
    below is the sample i capture from Apple Mac just now:

    i has a loading problem saying that
    init failed to load ArrayList as error message
    said:
    ArrayIndexOutOfBound, 0...Well, post the stack trace.
    but when i debug print out the ArrayList content and
    its length, i'm sure that this ArrayList is NOT NULL
    and its length is NOT ZERO either. You can still get an out of bounds exception with those conditions. The list could exist, its length could be N, but you're trying to dereference position N + 5, for example.
    try it in Mac, it show only a part of applet without
    any error, but when i try to refresh the page, applet
    is now successfully show, why?My guess is that you're not calling repaint() when you should, but that's just a guess.
    lastly, when a button of an applet being click and
    this will bring a new window with some parameters
    value, its work on IE in Windows platform, why it
    won't work for FireFox or Safari for Mac? i see
    prompt out saying is security problem, is there any
    workout of this? thanks. to summary out of junk
    above:Often you can sign applets so they can do things that unsigned applets aren't allowed to do.
    Maybe you're making some kind of security mistake that Firefox and Safari are (properly) catching but IE isn't. In any event, post the error message.

  • I have a carillon 25 keyboard (bad choice, I know) and I can't get it to communicate with my mac at all! I'm running logic pro 9 and reason 5. I get signal in from my M Audio trigger finger so I know it isnt an entirely mac based problem. Thanks!!!

    Well, how have to determined no signal is being recieved to your mac?
    Have you got something that shows the actual signal? Or have you just been trying to control a VST? What software are you using by the way?
    I personnally went with a AKAI MPK25, because it's made already mapped for logic & ableton etc, so it just makes things incredibly easy.
    I would suggest you return it if you can as a dead unit & perhaps look at something else a bit easier?
    Otherwise, if you just want to get this working we can have a look a bit deeper.
    And driver? OS X driver?

  • How to debug file content conversion problems?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to debug a file content conversion problem.  I'm mapping a few nodes in an IDOC to a file of fixed length fields.  I'm using the "<Node A>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node B>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node C>.fieldFixedLengths", etc. parameters to specify the fixed length records.
    However, a certain node (for e.g. Node B) is causing a problem and if it is present in the IDOC, the output file does not get created.  Upon checking the XI monitor, I notice that the file gets mapped correctly and thus the problem lies when the file adapter does the file content conversion.  How do I debug this because there is no descriptive error in the XI log?  If this node is not present, the file gets generated fine.
    Thanks,
    Basant Gupta

    Hi,
    If your SXMB_MONI shows, success status, then go to RWB->Message Monitoring->Message display tool and then check Audit log for the analysis,
    So it wil help you debug the situation.

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

    I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck

  • Oracle to Mysql character set conversion problem!!! PLZ IGNORE

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a database link from Oracle 10g to Mysql 5.

    It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
    Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:
    C:\> set NLS_LANG=.WE8PC850
    C:\> sqlplus ...On Unix:
    $ setenv NLS_LANG .WE8ISO8859P1   (or NLS_LANG=.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG)
    $ sqlplus ...-- Sergiusz

  • Codepage conversion problem

    Hello,
      In a DB to DB scenario, I am getting this error "Error: Unexpected error converting database resultset to XML, codepage conversion problem?" on the side of the sender adapter. I am not able to see any messages or trace in IE-Monitoring. Is there any log wherein I can find out the problem as to where it is occuring?
    Regards,
    Sanjay

    Hi Sanjay,
    The JDBC sender adapter returns the rows selected from the database in the follwoing format.
    <resultset>
    <row>
    <column-name1>column-value</ column-name1>
    <column-name2>column-value</ column-name2>
    <column-name3>column-value</ column-name3>
    </row>
    <row>
    <column-name1>column-value</ column-name1>
    <column-name2>column-value</ column-name2>
    <column-name3>column-value</ column-name3>
    </row>
    </resultset>
    This error occurs , when the source datatype you have created for the JDBC adapter does not match with this format. I would suggest that you check the source format along with the occurence of your field.
    Regards,

  • Lightroom 5, Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. Marquee Lines disappear.

    Lightroom 5 Mac. Problem with the Radial Tool. I use this tool a lot. I must have hit a hot key by accident because between photos the marquee lines have disappeared and i don't know how to get them back. Without the marquee lines there I cannot rotate or expand the radial tool.

    I have attempted to uninstall, empty trash and a fresh download from Adobe. The problem is still there...

  • Raw conversion problem

    I have Photoshop Elements 6 (Camera Raw 4.2) and a Nikon D7000 (Camera Raw 6.3 minimum).  I am using DNG converter 8.1 to create DNG files, but these still will not open in Elements.  I am selecting compatibility of Camera Raw 4.1 in the conversion program.  What else can I do?

    Sorry it took me a long time to reply.  If I send to dropbox (which I can), can I restrict the images to specific email addresses, or will it be accessible to anyone?  Not that I care about the image particularly, as it was only a test.
    Once I have an idea of this, I will do a final test & send the data to dropbox.

    It seems like you're doing everything that you're supposed to be doing, and it is not working.  I don't have an explanation why that is, but can you share an original NEF and its DNG via www.dropbox.com or similar and others can test with a newer version of ACR to make sure there isn't something corrupted wtih the files.

  • Journals conversion problem.

    Hello,
    We have a currency conversion problem with the journals table.
    Steps:
    1.- We insert a journal in Local Currency (LC) with the journals functionality. Both convert at average rate (for example), so when we run currency conversion rules the value is converted in Legalapp application, but not in Journal Table. So if the users or auditors need to see all the journals in EUR is not possible to extract with the journals reports.
    2.- Also we have the problem when we apply the carry forward rules for the next year, and the RE-Open functionality. Example, the flow of the year N applies at average rate, when we make the carry forward rule it goes to Opening Balance flow, and this opening balance doesn´t have currency conversion rule (AS-IS)(we cannot use an OPEAVG rule because we need the historical value in the opening balance flow). So we lose the EUR position value because we don´t have a journal to apply the RE-OPEN functionality.
    3.- We have the possibility of inserting the Journal in LC and EUR (Group Currency) also, but here you are obligating to the users to manually convert the values of each account of each journal, and can be mistakes of the value that the user insert in the Journal Entry, with the values of the application (converted with the currency conversion functionality).
    Do you know how can we solve this error?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    1. Journal tables contains just values for LC and only the posted journals are converted.
    The Corrency conversion will be applied just for journal posted not for all journals.
    You can see the value reflected into application just checking the the reports for special Data Source used by journal.
    Journal module is used for adjustment which means the auditors can see the adjustment into local cuurency and just the final value posted. The rest of journal not posted has no importance because they don't have any impact for database values.
    2. I don't think I understand the point which means I will leave other people to help ou with this poin
    3. I don't understand why you have to run Currency Conversion manually.
    When you input the journal you will execute default logic or you can execute journal.lgx logic.
    In any of these module if you place currency translation you will have your figures automat converted.

  • .Mac sync problem

    I can't sync my computer with my .Mac account. When I go to "System Preferences"->".Mac"->"Sync", the computer just sits there and I won't be able to go into the "Sync" option. I can't access the "Advanced" option in this window neither, however the "iDisk" and "Account" options are accessible.
    I don't know if this related with my iSync problem reported also in this forum.
    Thanks in advance.

    Replying to myself as the one long discussion about recent .Mac sync problems has been locked!!
    Just to say that NOW .Mac on the web says:
    ".Mac sync services are currently intermittently unavailable to some users. Changes made to synced information will be reflected when the problem is resolved. All other .Mac services are unaffected.
    Last Updated: 6/1/06"
    So the MANY people who have been posting problems in the last 24+ h MAY find it resolves and is not their end. But, customer care suggestion to apple:
    - IF you think .Mac syncing has a problem POST the info IMMEDIATELY
    - Possibly even email .Mac members as many use sync all the time without logging on the .Mac web services
    The time and stress (cand cost) spent by many trying to fix their own syncing is frustrating. I have spent several hrs over the last 24h unregistering, registering, syncing manually, resetting from different Macs, doing it item by item...finding a glimmer of hope when on one occasion Mail synced and on another so did contacts, only for .Mac login failures to continue...This has clearly been replicated by a large number of other frustrated customers from the other postings on this over the last day.
