Problem while "migrating" from Windows to Mac OS X

Over the last few months my Macbook was damaged and in repair. At that time I used a Windows PC instead and it was no problem to keep on using my old iTunes library file after I added the file extension ".itl".
Now my Macbook is back and I wanted to open my iTunes library using Mac OS X, not expecting any bigger problem.
To my astonishment iTunes keeps on crashing, showing the following error message: "The program iTunes could not be opened. An unknown error occured (13001)" (translated liberately, as my system is set to German).
On both operating systems iTunes is running in the newest version. What could help solving my problem is the information that my iTunes Media folder including my iTunes library files are stored on an external harddrive formatted in HFS+.
Windows had writing access on this file system using the software "Macdrive" in version 9.
I already tried moving the library files to my desktop and opening them from there, also I tried to create a new library just for testing purposes on the same harddrive. Both tests failed with the same error message.
Windows is still able to open the library as it was before.
I searched for similar problems on the internet but couldn't find any help, so I hope that someone on here has any helping tips!

Finally figured out the problem on my own. My external hard drive was named <Mobile 2.5">. In this thread I read about others having a problem when their hdd was named in a comparable way (e.g. <storage for 21" iMac>).
I renamed my drive to <Mobile 2.5> and the problems are gone!

  • Problems with migration from Windows to Mac

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro and proceeded to move my Lightroom program and catalog to the new computer.  I have 77,000 digital image files stored on an external hard drive, so I placed my catalog on the external drive to make the move to the new machine.  I plugged the hard drive into the new laptop and wasn't pleased to see that my catalog seemed to work fine.  However, when I ran the 'find missing files' command the program identified over 22,000 images that couldn't be located.  When I manually went to point the catalog to the files' locations nothing happened.  Repeating the locate missing files command produced an error saying that the image couldn't be used because it was already linked. 
    I'm confused about what to do here..... about the only thing I can thing of now is to totally recreate the catalog, which would of course make me lose the work I've done for the last 9 months. 
    Any suggestions?

    No Windows program will install on Macintosh (a very few products have
    both Windows and Macintosh on one disk, but not here).
    If you call Adobe you can buy a "crossgrade" for a reduced price. You
    will need to upgrade to Acrobat 9.0 at the same time.

  • When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other?

    When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.

    Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
    These are the preferred network connections, in order:
    Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
    For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other.

  • Problem while migrating from JSF1.1 to JSF1.2

    I'm facing the following issues while migrating from WAS 6.1 to WAS7.0
    For this I have upgraded Jsf 1.1 to 1.2 and webmodule to 2.5, and following errors I'm having...
    1. Description     The method getExceptionMessageString(String) is undefined for the type Util
    2. Description The method getMyForm(UIComponent) in the type CommandLinkRenderer is not applicable for the arguments (FacesContext, UICommand)

    5. Description     The method getValue() is undefined for the type HtmlBasicRenderer.Param     LinkRendererWithName.java
    Any alternative methods to those above methods in JSF1.2?
    or am I need to upgrade any of the jaf dependencies?
    Any suggestions are appreciated.
    Thanks

    But you should consider implementing your Renderers only using the API and not extending the com.sun.faces.* implementation classes, or you might end up changing your code again on your next jsf updates.Hm, good thinking. I didn't think about the split between the API and the implementation.
    OT question on that subject: is it really good design to have that split? JSF, JAXB, JAX-WS, even CDI has an API and an implementation part to it. But do we really need that? In the case of JSF, you have Mojarra and Myfaces (and some other obscure JSF implementation I believe). But why would you use Myfaces over Mojarra since they both solve the same problem and are both actively developed? Why do we have to deal with API/implementation conflict hell that you can often find when using JAXB, especially in a Mavenized environment? We have Weld as the implementation for CDI. What would move anyone to make a 'competing' implementation of it?
    For something like JPA I can at least understand it; the persistence providers were already there before JPA saw the light of day. There was no need for Sun to create a competing implementation, so they provided the API in stead. But in all other cases... I just don't get it.

  • PSE12: How do I migrate from Windows to Mac

    I bought
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Student and Teacher Edition
    and
    Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Student and Teacher Edition
    for my daughter.
    She has migrated from PC to Mac. How can I get the Mac versions of these softs?
    From my downloading, I can only see Windows installers (exe and 7z files)

    Contact Adobe to see if this is possible. There is no guarantee that any software is portable, and I feel the student edition may not be, but Adobe will have the final say.

  • Migration from Windows to Mac:

    Hello, I recently moved from WIndows and is very new to the Mac and so am not very sure how this thing will work. I have seen several posts on migration but it assumes one thing: that my Itunes Library Folder and My Itunes Contents are all in one directory called Itunes Music.
    AT the present time, my Itunes Library is in my C; drive in WIndows and my Itunes content is found in my H: external drive. I can't consolidate to my C: drive as it is relatively full already. Can I consolidate to my H; drive? does it mean that my Itunes Library folder will move to the H: Drive? I also have applications in which I assume is in the c: drive...can't seem to find it on my H drive.
    Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • "Default " problem while migrating from mysql to oracle.

    I'm migrating from mysql3.23 to oracle9i via the OMWB tool.While migrating i'm getting an error message "Failed to create default for the table <table>:ora00907 missing right parenthesis".This error is due to the difference in the syntax used for the keyword "default" in mysql and oracle.In mysql we have to give after the Not Null option whereas in oracle we have to give before Not Null.
    The problem is i'm migrating via the OWMB tool.Is is possible to handle this error with the help of tool itself.
    Thanks

    Jai, I'm having Frank have a look at this for you to see if we can replicate it ans help solve this issue for you. are there any issues logged on the mysql site regarding saving blobs as file?

  • How to resolve the encoding problem while migration from informix9.4

    When I migrate the informix9.4 database, there occur a error while migrate the data from informix to oracle.
    Because the source tables has a column which type is "vchar", the some row's data length more the 4000, so migration workbench convert this column type from "vchar" to "clob" automaticly. But when the worbench has created the oracle model, and then migrate the data, there occured this error:
    java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: ISO2022CN_GB
    java.sql.SQLException: index miss IN or OUT param:: 9
    +     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:125)+

    The encode in the source informix database is "zh_CN.gbk", and the encode in the destination database is "zh_CN.gbk", why this prompt the convert error?
    Another information is that excluding this table, other tables can migrated success.
    So, I guess this problem must has association with the type conversation which from "vchar" to "clob", can anyone help me with this, Thanks.

    Hello,
    well, the limit of 4000 is clear. From the Oracle® Migration Workbench Reference Guide for Informix Dynamic Server Migrations:
    VARCHAR(m,r)
    The Informix Dynamic Server VARCHAR data type stores varying length single-byte and multibyte character strings of letters, numbers. and symbols. The maximum size of this column is m, that can range from 1 to 255. The minimum reserved space is r. This is optional and defaults to 0 if not specified. The minimum reserved space can range from 0 to 255.
    The comparable Oracle data type is VARCHAR2(n) that also stores variable-length character strings. An Oracle VARCHAR2(n), however, can have a maximum string length of between 1 and 4000 specified for n.
    Specifying a minimum reserved space is useful if the data in a row is initially small but is expected to grow at a later date. If this is the case then, when migrating Informix Dynamic Server tables that contain VARCHAR columns consider increasing the PCTFREE value in the storage clause for these tables in the Oracle database. If this column is used in an index, then the PCTFREE values for the corresponding index storage should also be considered. For indexes based on VARCHAR columns, Informix Dynamic Server allocates the maximum storage.
    So it is not surprising that the workbench is converting a VARCHAR with a length of more than 4000 to a CLOB.
    But that does not explain the encoding exception. This might be a problem of the Informix JDBC driver.
    Is the Informix JDBC Driver Programmer's Guide helpful for you: http://publibfi.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/6435.pdf
    Can you reproduce the problem with a Java program against your Informix database using your Informix JDBC driver?
    Which version of Informix JDBC driver are you using?
    Best regards
    Wolfgang

  • Migrating from Windows to Mac, no loger have the Windows machine

    Hi All,
    I have a two year old iPod that's pretty loaded. I originally had it set up with a Windows computer that I ripped all my CD's to. Since that point my Windows machine needed to be rebuilt so I lost all the iTunes stuff on it. I also recently got a MacBook Pro. Now I'd like to be able to use the iPod with the MacBook, but I don't want to have to reload everything onto it. So how can I take an iPod originally formatted for Windows and retrieve all the data so that when I plug it into the MacBook I won't lose everything. I don't mind if I have to wipe out the iPod and reformat it then reload the music. I just don't want to have to rip all my CD's again. If it's any help I do have a networked Windows machine available to help with this.
    Thanks,
    -Bruce
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Macs can read Windows formatting so you should be able to connect your iPod without any bother. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are connected change the update setting to manual so you can use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button:
    Managing content manually on iPod
    iTunes Keyboard Shortcuts for OSX
    If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac. The procedure is a bit involved but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    If you prefer something more automated there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Senuti Mac Only
    iPodRip Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    iPodAccess Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    PodUtil Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc. then if you wish it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • Problems while migrating from mySql DB to oracle DB

    Hi All,
    I'm using sql developer tool to migrate from MySql DB to oracle DB. I followed the below steps.
    1) I've created oracle and mysql connections successfully.
    2) I've captured Mysql data and I'm able to see the captured model in ' Captured Models ' window. After that right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Set Data Mapping'. Selected ' apply ' button without changing anything. After that I've right clicked on the captured model and selected ' Convert to Oracle Model ' . It has shown the converting process. After some time it has shown conversion completed successfully.
    But converted model is not visible in ' Converted Models ' window.
    Can anyone kindly assist on how to migrate from MySql Db to Oracle DB?
    Thanks,
    Saty.

    Hi,
    We did mysql to oracle migration some time back and played with workbench tool and many other softwares available.
    However our experience was not so good with these tools, each tool had its own limitation and was not able to migrate 100% data. Even the speed of migration was too slow which would have violated our production SLAs.
    So after spending a month with these tools we finally decided to create our own scripts for data migration. We used tools like TOAD and SQL Yok to create the DDL for the tables and other DB objects.
    For the data migration we downloaded the mysql data in flat files and used sql loader to upload the same data in oracle. Even if this was a time consuming activity but this resulted in 100% data migration with no record getting failed and the time taken for this activity was around 6 Hrs in comparison to time of 24-28 Hrs that the workbench tool took.

  • Urgent : problem while migrating from forms 6i to 9i

    We are trying to upgrade forms 6i to forms 9i.
    One of our forms is using the host command to call a shell script . This command worked successfully in the form when it was
    in character mode in forms 6i. But we are facing problems while deploying it on web using forms9i.
    Would appreciate an early response.
    Regards ,

    Hi Pooja,
    1. Please check out the script by running it manually in the App Server Machine.
    2. If you are using any environment variables in the shell script, that are not defined in the shell script itself, then try defining in the shell script itself. Because, the environment variable that you are using might not be availble for the script while running using host.
