Problem after switch to IMac

I just switched from a G5 to a new Intel iMac. When I access Time Machine I can see the bars on the right hand side, but they have no dates associated with them, and I am unable to restore anything. Is this a function of switching machine, and is there a way to access the old information?
Thanks

G5 is PPC and APS
Intel is Intel and GUID
I don't think you can transfer TM from one type of machine to the other.

Virtual console problem after switching runlevels

After switching into runlevel 5, the cursor on all virtual consoles (1-5) is stuck at the top left of the screen, and screen scrolling is disabled.
If I boot with runlevel 3, everything works fine, until I manually change into runlevel 5.
I'm not sure if this is related to the latest Xorg upgrade, but things used to work well until not long ago.

Sounds familiar. If you have similar hardware... is http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61517 of any help?

Differnt problems after switching to Apple ID

After being forced to switch my AOL account to an Apple account, I lost the remaining on my gift card.Now, when I enter the code, iTunes tells me that card has already been redeemed. But I had over $10 left on it!!
And when I go into my account details, it lists the last song I purchased was back in March 2008, when I had purchased some last week under the new Apple ID.
I'm waiting for iTunes support to write me back. If anyone has any suggestions in the meantime, I'm listening.

I also had an Apple ID prior to this switch but have forgotten the user and password. It seems like when I created a new ID from AOL screen name, it recognized my email (because I had to use a valid email address to create this new Apple ID)and merged the AOL name with my current account. But it lost all of the AOL purchasing and gift card data.
When I signed in to post these topics, I entered my new Apple ID but found my old user name and all my old Apple discussions questions still intact.

Sync problems after switch from Windows to Mac; cannot read/write error msg

I'm not sure if this is a hardware or software issue.
I recently switched from a PC to a Mac. To move my iTunes files (50GB) I simply dragged and dropped them from my external HD to my new computer. I know that Apple does not recommend this process, but when I needed to move my library between drivers earlier this year, it was the only way I could do it without getting an error message that killed the process.
Moving the files seemed to be a success. Everything appeared in iTunes, I was able to play the music, etc.
I then tried synching my iPod (Classic 160 GB – I think 5th gen, it’s about 3 years old) on the new computer. I got some message that said you can only have one iPod per account and that I would have to wipe the iPod before syncing. I let it do that.
Here's where problems began:
With a few gigs to go in the sync I got a message that says something to the effect that iTunes cannot read or write to the iPod. Even though must of the library had been transferred to the iPod, before disconnecting the iPod iTunes wiped all but a few hundred megs worth of music from it. I've tried restoring the iPod a few times but that has had no effect. The first time I tried to sync the iPod it was formatted for Windows. I have reformatted it for Mac.
Also noteworthy is that the first 3/4ths of my library copies very quickly -- 1GB a minute -- but then it eventually slows down to where 100 MB takes 10 minutes. It copies the files in a different order every time, so it doesn't look like it's getting hung up on the same files every time.
In case I had a corrupted file, I deleted all the files added to the library since my last successful sync.
Suggestions?
Should I just go to the nearest Apple store and beg for mercy?

Hi!
same problem here.I can use around 30G of my iPod Classic 160G.If i try to upload more than that it will take very long time and finally freezes.
Have no idea what to do..

[Solved] Several problems after switch to systemd

After many issues with today's update (like broken locale, broken suspend2ram, broken shutdown/restart, broken autologin, broken CPU clocking, broken fan control and broken wicd) I'm stuck with three of them, the most important being wicd.
Autologin is working now and after login I have to enter a password for wicd (which was not the case before the update). After entering the password I get the dbus connection error: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wi … or_message If I kill wicd (which is runnig directly after boot, but not running properly), starting and stopping and starting again with systemctl works fine. But the autostart mostly fails for some reason (in rare cases it works though). I'm quite new to systemd and don't even know hot to open the new journal in a proper editor to search for errors efficiently.
The second thing is that the locale is being reset to C or POSIX I suppose, at least it's not German as it should be and also is set in /etc/locale.conf.
The third thing is that the Thinkpad fan control fails to start, too. I created a .conf file to load the thinkpad_acpi module which seems to work. If I start /usr/sbin/tpfand manually, the fan control works. But here also the autostart fails.
Sorry for the confused description containing about nothing on error or debug information, but I don't really know where to start digging and get useful information about systemd.
Thanks for any hint,
PhotonX

Aw, I think that's something I should be able to think of.

FCP problems after switching from my G5 to a MacPro

I used the Migration Assistant to switch from my old computer to my new one and am now experiencing two annoying things with my FCP project:
1. When I try to Render I get a "File Access Denied" message.
2. When I make changes on my timeline I get a "Preparing video for display" message and the computer takes several seconds to make the changes. This didn't happen on my older G5
Thanks.

Migration Assistant doesn't work for professional applications. You will have to uninstall FCS and reinstall. Use this to uninstall.

Itunes Problems After Switching PCs

Bought a new PC. Backed up song library from Itunes onto external drive (different folder name if that's important). Copied folder from ext drive onto C: of new PC. Songs appear to be in Itunes however , for most songs, when I click I get the message:
The song xxx could not be found because the original file could not be found.
I answer "yes" to "would you like to search for it." I can find the song and it pulls it into Itunes where I can click on it and it plays.
Next time I sync, same thing happens.
I'm sure it has something to do with the transfer. I'm just not smart enough to know what's going on.
If the file path that is in preferences is where I copied the songs to what else has to happen?

No, I was talking about the drive letter for the external drive.
I guess I don't understand what order you did things in.
I thought you had an old PC, and moved your iTunes library to the external hard drive using thes steps:

Then you plugged your ex HD into the new PC and it had a different drive letter.

MOVED: Raid problems after switch from K9N2-Platinum to 790FX-GD70 mobo

This topic has been moved to Linux/Unix.

Hi BOSSKILLER
Thanks for your quick response.

Well, leave the 80GB only and install XP over it.
Then connect other two HDD's and enable RAID for them.
Unfortunately this didn't help. As soon as I installed the Windows nVidia RAID SW it prompted med that it had registered the 80 GB disk as a new disk that wasn't a member of any RAID. This happened everytime Windows XP was started.
The trick was to add the 80 GB disk as a Spanned disk using the nVidia RAID BIOS setup utility. Install Windows XP (again) and the Windows nVidia RAID SW and setup RAID 1 on the other two sata disk.
I don't think this is a great setup but it works. I hope that MSI will fix this issue in a later BIOS upgrade. It would be nice if the enabled/disabled for sata RAID setting actually worked.

Problem after switching video cards

Using Arch on a x86_64, i had everything set up and working with GNOME and Compiz-Fusion, the cube, wobble windows, a custom theme with emerald, etc. Then i did a little hardware upgrade (added a gig of ram, took out my ati radeon x800 gt and replaced it with a nvidia GeForce 9800 GT 512MB card. I uninstalled the radeon drivers, w/e i installed from the ATI wiki page, then followed the nvidia wiki page.
When i startx, the desktop loads just fine, but when i open a window (ie Trash, Firefox) there is no bar across the top (to minimize, maximize, move window, close).
I disabled fusion-icon from running on startup, brought back my xserver, opened a XTerminal (which has that default blue bar on the top) and ran fusion-icon. Error messages were:
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slidE: freedesktop
compiz (cube) - Warn: Failed to load slidE: freedesktop
compiz (cube) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth32
compiz (cube) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth32

compiz (cube) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth32
compiz (cube) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth32
compiz (cube) - Warn: No GLXFBConfig for depth32
and of course, no more bars on my windows. Anybody run into this/know how to fix it?
One more thing, heres my xorg.conf
http://rafb.net/p/4IvrpH98.html

i used 1280x1024 for my windows instance on that machine. I think thats my max res as well, i use some Westinghouse L1928NV 19", yeah and thats the max res.
Why would that effect my having no bars on my window? It worked with the old card, this card is newer, supports a higher res than my old one, that shouldbe be the issue.

Problem reading external drive after switching enclosures

My Time Machine backup was on a 2 TB WD My Essential external drive. I run a 2008 iMac that doesn't support USB3 speeds so I removed the drive from the WD enclosure and put it in a Rocstor enclosure that uses Firewire 800. After switching enclosures, my iMac wouldn't read the drive without formatting it. Anyone know why that is? Does it have something to do with the firmware on the HD itself? It was no big deal as I was going to format and partition the drive anyway. I would just like to know why going from USB to Firewire would cause it to do that. BTW, after reformating the drive, it appears to be working just fine as it did before.

No it is not a problem with the firmware on the drive. It has to do with the Firewire system on the Mac or any computer. I have the same thing happen when I have a drive that was using USB and put that drive in a FW adapter. Once in the FW adapter OS X wants to format it, actually initialize it. Once reconnected by USB again the drive works fine. You do know that you have voided the WD warranty on that unit by taking the drive out.

My Late 2009 27" iMac i7 wake up problems after LION installed

About 5 or 6X, My iMac has had wake up problems after I installed LION. The screen wakes but the trackpad or mouse are frozen. I have to do a hard shut down (pressing the power button) for system to work correctly. When I power on the Mac, then everything functions. NEVER had this issue with Safari!

Exatly the same problem here with Lion on iMac 27" C2D late 2009.

No more Wifi from my iMac after switching to Lion

Hello.
I just switched my iMac 24 from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3 with the latest updates.
My iMac is connected to the Internet using an Ethernet cable. The Internet connection works fine.
I used to use my iMac as a Wifi router so that my iphone and my air can use it to access the internet.
Since I've switched to Lion on my Mac (and not my air), both my iphone and my air cannot connect to the iMac.
I've told both my iphone and air to "forget" about my iMac previous details and rebooted both of them - result FAILED
I've removed the Wifi setting by clicking on on the iMac preferences and restart a fresh one ; I've tried to connect using my iphone and air - FAILED

Just removed the Wifi from Networks. Recreated a Wifi Network. Went to Sharing and Internet Sharing. Renamed the Wifi Name - SUCCESS !!!!!
So, even if you remove the old Wifi connections, rename them.
(I think that's a bug).

Multiple problems with new retina iMac. Suspect graphics driver

New retina IMac, top spec, with latest Yosemite, and additional Cinema Display attached. Having multiple problems which I suspect are being caused by the graphics driver:
The long running issue with Adobe PS whereby under certain size options the tools cursor disappears and just has the arrow cursor.
With no warning, after doing an action such as opening an application the system reverts immediately to the login screen and does not show me as logged in.
After switching users, a blank screen other than the cursor is shown. Seems I have to power off to get past this one.
Can anybody shed any light on any of these, at least so that I can discount my theory of a single culprit?

So I went onto the Adobe forums and found a number of threads on this subject. A staff member replied with the following:
It's a video card driver bug introduced in MacOS 10.10 (which looks a lot like an old bug they fixed in 10.9).
Apple is aware of this, and the other video driver issues in 10.10, and working on solutions.
So thanks to Adobe we now know.

Problem after 10.6.6 update! MDS running from the start on activity monitor

Hello,
I have a iMac late 2009 and yesteday <unfortunately> I did the update 10.6.6! Before everything was working great cause I care the system with clean my iMac and other applications everyday and mostly I use recording programs like Pro Tools. After update the restart came and iMac's CPU was jumping at 20-30% without touching anything! I saw on Activity Monitor and <mds> was running! I want to ask what is that and how I can remove it and not running all the time. I close it from Activity Monitor every time the system starts but I want to remove it and don't see it as it wasn't before! After reading other topics, I did verify and repair permissions from Disk Utility and Mac Osx disc but mds starts when system boot.

This problem started happening to me on both my iMacs as well. I have a brand new 27" 3.06 Core2Duo which started to experience boot and shutdown problems after running the 10.6.6 update. My 21.5 3.06 Core2Duo (have had for just over a year) is suffering quite a bit more. My 21.5" iMac has Bootcamp installed, as mentioned in this thread and at the following thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12968046#12968046
I had noticed extremely sluggish behavior and many cases of the spinning wheel of lost hope. I run MenuMeters, so noticed a higher than usual CPU utilization - looking into Activity Monitor, mds was taking between 30% and 50% of my CPU.... ordinarily that shouldn't be a problem, but since that is Spotlight's indexer, I imagine there was IO contention. I plan on removing Bootcamp this weekend (don't really use it anymore thanks to Parallels 6).
Additionally, I have experienced horrible WiFi performance on both iMacs since updating. I have seen a few mentions on the Internet about this, but no real official acknowledgement. My icon in the Menubar indicates that the connection is still solid, however, I'm unable to resolve websites, etc. I assume that it is losing its connection momentarily to my router, and not reresolving with DHCP upon reconnect. This problem seems to be pretty repeatable when I use Fast User Switching... Anyone else having this problem? I have ruled out my router, as my Windows box and Linux laptops have zero issues. I hope Apple is resolving this issue -- making me eat my words when I told my wife that we HAD to go Mac since its so much more reliable!
