Photos not syncing after moving to new imac

i just moved from a mac mini to a 24" imac. I used the migration assistant to move my old user over to the new machine. everything works fine (imovie, iphoto, itunes). but when i try to sync my photos to my apple tv, i am getting that triangular exclamation mark.
i can sync movies, music, podcasts and tv shows just fine, but whenever i try to sync photos, then i am getting the exclamation mark and nothing - not even the movies and tv shows that worked before - get synched anymore.
thanks for any help

This seems contradictory, I'm not clear whether music, movies etc work for you or not.
In regard to the photos, make sure iphoto sharing is enabled and not blocked by your firewall, you could try creating a new photo library in the same location but with a different name to your existing library to avoid overwriting it, to see if it's a photo library issue or something else.

Photos not syncing after update to photo app

photos not uploading to photo app after update, I have over 10,000 photos that are trying to upload and the last import says 2013 instead of last week. I have a MacBook pro and my icloud sharing is on and I purchased more space so that is not the problem

ITune songs not found after migrating to new iMac

My old iMac's graphics card broke. Luckily I have used Time Machine to back up to ann external HDD.
I used Migration Assistant to bring up the new iMac. However, I cannot find any songs in iTune. The songs can still be found in my iPhone though.
I also found that Time Machine has set up a new folder in the external HDD, so while the old backup files are still there, I cannot access it when I tried to restore it.
Need help.
Since this is a new, clean installation, I don't mind reinstalling the OS X, which I have done, if it helps.

There is no Music folder.
Perhaps I should try to start from a clean slate again. Do you think it will make sense to wipe out all the data and re-install OSX, re-migrate? There will not be any lost data (compared to what I have now..)
When I re-installed OSX, I had to state a name. I chose the name on the previous computer, which led to a conflict when I tried to migrate. I had to choose another name for the new iMac. Could this have led to the inability to restore properly? (am I making sense?)

Messages app not syncing after migrating to new computer

Scratching head tonight...
Used the migration assistant to move my profile from my 2011 MBA to my new 2013 MBA
Migration Assistant ran flawlessly (supposedly)
After completing the process, rebooted the new MBA and logged in without issue -- loaded the Messages App and the historical data is there, but nothing new is showing up on the computer
Messages sent are showing on my iPhone and are still showing in the old profile on the original MBA but not on the new MBA
Obviously the data migrated over since the historicals are there, but why would the sync break and how can I fix it?
Messages -> Preferences -> Accounts show the iMessage account enabled with all the appropriate addresses (phone number and icloud.com and me.com)
I tried logging out and logging back in to Messages as well as the iCloud -- no joy...
Suggestions?
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
I don't have a second computer that can also run Mountain Lion so that I could test this.
In normal circumstances if you remove the Apple ID from the iMessages account on the Mac then re-add that Apple ID you get a pop up on you iPhone and iPad when you open Messages that the computer (by Name) is using the Apple ID.
The temptation with a new computer is to create an Admin account that ends up being based on your Name which in turn creates the name for the computer (See System Preferences > Sharing).
I am not sure if issues can arise if both computers end up with the same name.

Some purchased songs not playing after moving to new computer

I migrated my music library to a new computer by moving the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to an external hard drive then to the new computer. When I synced my iPhone using the new computer, everything synced fine the first time except for an error saying three songs could not be converted properly. When I try to play the songs in iTunes, it tells me they are not authorized to play on the new computer then asks me to login to authorize (even though I already had logged in beforehand). Even after logging in again they won't play. The tracks won't play on the iPhone either.
The three tracks are part of a full album which I purchased via the music store on my iPhone. They synced to my old computer with no problem. They show up in my purchases section in iTunes. And the other 8 tracks from the same album work just fine. And I just double checked, and the tracks no longer play on the old machine either. The only weird thing was that when I synced it appeared as though iTunes downloaded the songs again even though they were already in the existing library. Any idea what's going on here and how to fix it?

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the broken tracks from your iTunes library (but do not hide from iCloud), close and then reopen iTunes, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not in My Library. You should find download links for your tracks there.
While downloading click the small download activity widget near the search box and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. This may improve the reliability of subsequent downloads.
If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

Photos not syncing after upgrading from Photoshop Elements 5 to 6

Since uprgading from PE 5 to PE 6 all changes I have made to my photo catalog have not been synced to my IPod 30GB.
I have a PC laptop using Win XP Pro which is always kept up-to-date automatically from Microsoft. All worked fine before the uprade to Photoshop Elements. Every time I added photos, or changed some, the next time I plugged the IPod in it would sync the changes to the IPod, but not now.
Any ideas??

Unfortunately, the Sam proposition can't work because PSE 6 as changed the catalog format from MS Access to a another DB : SQLite (http://www.sqlite.org). Triying to change values in Regedit ist just useless.
I've triying myself to copy, and rename, the new PSE 6 catalog file from :
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\Catalogs\[cat name]\My catalog.psedb
to
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Catalogues\My catalog.psa
With no success.
As stated by Sam, iTunes look for the catalog file located in the following Key :
[HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer]
"CurrentDatabaseName"="My Catalog.psa".
In Fine, there is no (simple) solution until Apple decide to make iTunes "PSE 6 compatible".
In fact, the simplest way to transfer photo is to Export photos from the Album in a directory and then synchronize with iTunes from this Directory.
Key and path are for Vista...

Mails are not displayed after migration to new iMac

Hello!
Today I migrated the contents of my old office iMac (G4, MacOS 10.4.11) to my new one (new 20'', MacOS 10.5) via FireWire.
Unfortunately my mails are not displayed on my new Mac:
I can see all my mailboxes on the left side, but the window, that should show the mails themselves is empty. I already took a look into the /library/mail folder and all my mails seem to be there.
They are just not displayed.
I use mail on that Mac with only one POP account.
What could cause this behaviour?
Thank you very much in advance!
Thomas

I figured out niw, how to solve the problem:
After the migration go to the Userdirectory-> Library -> Mail and delete the files:
MessageRules.plist
MessageRules.plist.backup
MessageSorting.plist
MessageSorting.plist.backup
Then Mail works properly.
(The only thing ist, that all filer rules are gone.)

Problems with design view after moving to new imac

Moved CS4 Dreamweaver from my Mac Mini intel duo to a new i5 Imac last night: suddenly design view is not showing various CSS styles, especially certain links.
For example, instead of this:
HOME | ABOUT | CONTACT | HELP
it will show this in design view:
|||
Meanwhile, in a browser live on the web, everything is fine.
I did a fresh install of dreamweaver CS4 last night from original install disks to new i5 Imac.
Help!

Culprit is the classic MS Windows font ARIEL. I installed it one at a time from two different sources (a 1999 TT build and a 2001 TT build) and both immediately caused problems, particularly in Dreamweaver with vanishing text in design view for any fonts setting sassigned the "ariel, helvetica sans serif family").
Since problem only is happening on the 2011 i5 Imac (but not on my old Mac Mini 1.6 or emac G4) I will guess the dilemma resides with fontbook or something peculiar to font management on the iMac.
Removing font of course solved all problems.

ITunes and Apple TV Won't Sync After Moving to New Mac HD

I've had to clone my 10.5.5 system onto a new HD. Now the Apple TV that previously synced doesn't see iTunes 8.0.1. On the Apple TV under Settings>Computer, the link to my iTunes library is greyed out. However from iTunes on the Mac, I can still select the Apple TV for AirTunes and stream to it so they are connecting on some level. I'm fairly certain that I could turn off the sync on the Apple TV side and set up a new one. However that will likely result in the entire 23GB library being erased on the Apple TV and copied again over the network. Is there a way to save many hours and reconnect the libraries without copying everything again?

I haven't seen any reports of it being done with version 2 of the tv software, but under version 1, if you set up a new primary library from the tv which was essentially the same as the library you were replacing, it wouldn't re-write anything which it didn't need to.
As I say, I have no idea if this is the same with version 2 software.

Report not running after moving to new environment

I have a Business View designed in a test environment and reports written against that view.
The view has been exported & imported to a production environment, with other views added to that environment.
The report has been copied across & pointed to the correct repository.
On my test environment, the report runs in 2 minutes, in production it takes more than 2 hours when run from any of the Designer, the CMS or Infoview. Volumes of data being read are similar.
Test environment server has less RAM than Production, Production has CRS installed on one server & databases on another.
The only event viewer messages are transport error: invalid object reference, but these occur on both servers on running. There is nothing the any of the CRS log files
What should I be looking for to diagnose the issues? The customer need to run their year end reporting, and is currently unable to do so, as the reports are timing out for their users.

The method which you used doesn't finds any info about the production database performance.
Please create a connection directly to production database from test environment and then test it. This confirms prod database performance efficiency.
Regarding tracing, if you use ODBC connection, we can do the tracing.
Here is the tracing method for ODBC connection ( in windows) --- Control panel --> Data sources (odbc) --> Tracing --> define the "Log file path" where the trace log will be stored --> click button "Start Tracing Now". ... This you could do this in the production BO server environment .
Please make sure that, you should stop the tracing option again in the same way. Or else it could slow down the performance.
And I donot know enabling tracing for SQLOLEDB connection.

Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article

Thunderbolt port not working as dvi in New iMac, is there any fix for it?. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 2494 SW

Just bought the new iMac, also bought apple's mini dvi adapter, when connecting to Samsung SyncMaster 2494sw i get a snow kind of pattern and sometimes let me see apple desktop through it, i tried changing resolutions but nothing, is it a software issue?

Well my friend, after 3 1/2 agonizing hours at he apple store, those "genious" declare that iMac came with defective thunderbolt/dvi to extra monitor , not mine, ALL OF THE NEW iMACS!!!!, shame on apple man, i had to spend 300 extra dls buying a new monitor with hdmi input to solve this crap that apple just did, is not fear coming out with a new product that can handle something so simple. i wish i could report this issue to someone that hears it and make something about it since i do not think this is a minor issue since this new iMac main feature was the thunderbolt port

Possible fix for Gmail not syncing after recent update

Hey all,
I've seen at least one person on the forums who's had issues with their Gmail not syncing after the latest update. I thought I would pass along my solution to the problem in case it worked for others. After I updated to the latest version of the iPhone software a couple of days ago, my mail accounts from Gmail were behaving strangely. For one thing, all of my saved e-mails on the iPhone were deleted. For another, it no longer received any e-mail from those accounts. Finally, I decided to test it out by creating a new e-mail account on my iPhone to sync with a disused Gmail address that I had not yet set up for IMAP on my phone. To my surprise, it worked perfectly! Then, after I checked the details of the new e-mail account with those of my existing accounts, I discovered that the incoming server port number was incorrect on the other accounts. It was 995 when it ought to have been 993. When I corrected the port numbers, all of the accounts synced perfectly. I hope that might work for someone else. It was at least worth a post on the forums, I figured. Have a wonderful St. Patrick's day, everyone!

Fantastic! Worked a treat - thanks!
Lucy
