Problem with 10.6.8 install after migration

moved from a 2010 iMac to a 2011 MacBook Pro... have Lion / Snow Leopard partition as the music software i use is still best on SL (10.6.8)
so when i got the new machine with Lion installed i partitioned the HD, installed 10.6.8. on the partition then Migrated over from the old
HD (an external drive clone of the iMac HD which had since been sold).Things seem fine but there's something going on.
Everytime i move anything on the desktop, Remove anything from the sidebar of the finder or Remove anything from the Doc it all
goes back to the way it was after reboot. Seems that none of these things are saved when rebooting and obviously its quite
unnerving. I have run updates and repaired permissions.
Any idea what is causing this? i really need to be able to resort my sidebar / re arrange my desktop / deleted question marks from my dock (uninstalled programs) none o

This sounds like a corrupted preference (plist) file behavior. Basically your "changes" are not being saved to the file on disk, only remain in memory and when you power off and back on the old changes return.
Reinstalling OS X won't help here, it's in your Users/Library/Preferences folder.
Just scroll down in there and delete anything
com.apple.dockpreferences.plist
com.apple.finderpreferences.plist
looking and reboot, the files will get rebuilt.
Also run all of OnyX's cleaning and maintainence aspects and reboot for good measure.

Exchange 2013: Problem with Default Global Address List after migration

I just completed a migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. The 2007 box has been decommissioned just last week. I have been seeing weird issues with our offline addressbook and global address list, since the migration, but always thought
it was related to Ex2007. Well the issues still exist and here's what i've found so far:
1. If any user goes to Schedule Appointment in Outlook, and they click the Rooms button (on the Scheduling Assistant page), we get a LONG wait (about 5 mins or more) and then an error that says: "The operation could not be completed because
an offline address book is not available. Download a copy of the offline address book." When i click OK, the address book is up, with the "All Rooms" list showing blank (we have 3 rooms in Exchange currently).
2. Now if I go to the Address Book in Outlook it opens to the GAL and it's up to date... I can also force an update to the offline address book after adding a new group or entry, so i know offline address books are being updated properly and
working. HOWEVER, if i go to any of the other address lists (besides Contacts and GAL) under All Address Lists (All Contacts, All Groups, All Rooms, All Users and Public Folders) I get the same error given above: "The operation could not be
completed because an offline address book is not available. Download a copy of the offline address book."
3. I went to the Exchange 2013 EAC and went to Organization -> Address Lists. Everything under here said 'NO' under the Up-to-Date column. When i looked at the properties on each list, and clicked save, I had to update to the new version.
After doing this, the Up-to-Date column said 'YES'. I could do all lists EXCEPT for the GAL. It still says 'NO'
4. The last thing i did was set my Outlook to NOT be in cached mode. This should give me a direct connection to the GAL and all lists, if I'm not mistaken... So when i do this, I cannot even open see the GAL. The ONLY option in the
Address Book that comes up is Contacts (which are my personal ones).
5. I just now ran Get-GlobalAddressList | fl in powershell on the Ex2013 server. I see some things that make me wonder... First; nothing in the RecipientFilter field, however, there is something in the LdapRecipientFilter field.
Second; the RecipientFilterType field says "Legacy". and Third; the RecipientFilterApplied field says "False".
Didn't know what these should all be, but it appears maybe this is the cause of all my issues?? Can someone help me out here.. even if i have to recreate a new GAL, i'm fine with that, I just don't know all the steps to do so. I just need it
to work!
Thanks

Hi,
In my opinion, it is better to confirm whether the GAL is good, first.
How about the GAL working in OWA?
If GAL working well in OWA, it seems the issue on the Outlook Client or Connectivity side.
Please trying to run Outlook on the safe mode to avoid some AVs, add-ins and firewall for testing.
Please follow the steps as below to narrow down the OAB issue.
Following are the locations that .lzx files in CAS server and BMX server:
CAS:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\OAB
MBX:
C:\Program Files\Micorosft\Exchange Server\V15\ExchangeOAB
Please verify whether the .lzx files update to the latest.
1. If the .lzx files in MBX server not update to the latest.
It should be an issue on the OAB generation side.
2. If the .lzx files in MBX server is latest, but CAS server not.
It should be a distribution issue.
1) Please run Get-OabVirtualDirectory command in EMS to verify whether at least one OAB VD exist in the org. If not, please create a new one.
2) Please make sure whether any setup for Web Distribution. Selecting the “Enabling an Offline Address Book for Web Distribution” checkbox.
3) Please force restart File Distribution services to distribute OAB files manually.
3. If the .lzx files in MBX server and CAS server are all update to the latest.
It should be the connectivity between CAS server and Client issue.
1)Please verify the network.
2)Please check DNS, MX, etc. configuration.
3)Please run “Test E-mail AutoConfiguration” to check the AutoDiscover details.
   Please make sure the OAB URLs are correct.
   If the OAB URLs are incorrect, please using following command to re-set them:
   Set-OABVirtualDirectory -Identity "ServerFQDN\OAB (Default Web Site)" -ExternalUrl
https://www.contoso.com/OAB -InternalUrl
https://mail.contoso.com/OAB
4)Please checking the App log and finding solutions from Microsoft Technet articles or KB, according to the Event ID.
5)If it still not working after performing the methods above unfortunately, please trying to re-build OAB Virtual Directory.
   Article for reference:
   Remove, Re-Create, and Reconnect an Offline Address Book Virtual Directory

Problem with MacBook Pro keyboard backlight after migrating from pb dlsd

Can anybody help please? I\ve got this very annoying problem where the keyboard light doesn't work properly in my main user a/c which I migrated in from my powerbook 1.67. Ir is obviously something to do with imported library settings but I can't find how to get it to work properly - new user a/cs set up on the mbp work as they should. Unfortunately I have a n enormous pile of configurations which I need to continue using from my old a/c

How old is your MacBook Pro? If it didn't ship with 10.4.10, then maybe you can run the 10.4.10 combo updater for Intel over again:

If it did ship with 10.4.10, sometimes hardware issues like these can be repaired by a simple zap of PRAM:

Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......

Having many problem with wifi....after installing lion......it connect with wifi but not with Internet and at the same time iPad 2, iPhone 4 works smooth......help......I have MacBook air without thunderbolt and mac mini

I had the same problem last night. Boot into OSX and reboot the router - fine. Boot into Windows and wrong. Here were my fixes:
Firstly, I kept all the settings on my router solid. Just leave them as they are. Boot into OSX and check the Network settings and make a note of your IP address and the router's IP address.
Second, boot into Windows, then open up your wireless connection settings and navigate through to the properties where you can set the IP address.
Third: Set the IP address to your routers IP address changing the last set of digits to a value between 5 and 255 (I have 8 devices so I set the last two digits to 10.) This will keep the IP static.
Tab through the Mask settings to default those.
Then set the default gateway to your router's IP address.
Check that the Network Adapter's setting has IPv6 disabled (uncheck the box)
Finally: Set the primary DNS server to 8.8.8.8 then the secondary to 8.8.4.4 and then reboot the router.
That's what got my connection running.

Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

Hi
I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
Thanks Portozzygirl

More often than not when a device isn't working it is because the driver has become corrupted. Re-installing a fresh copy should help

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro.

I am having a problem with very slow start up after expanding RAM on my 2009 Mac Pro (8 Core 2.93GHz). When I run the Mac Pro with 2 x 2Gb RAM it takes 4 seconds before the gray screen, chime and spinning wheel appear.However when I expand the RAM to 20GB the grey screen and chimes appear after a long 20+ second black screen.
The RAM modules are paored 2 x 4GB Crucial CT51272BA1339.M18FMR and 6 x 2GB SAMSUNG M391B5673FH0-CH9, all DDR3 ECC.
Reading articles on the internet, I thought it may be damaged RAM modules, but I have completed memtest and all are okay. I have tried changing the pairs around and if I use any paired 2 modules the Mac Pro starts normally, only when I try running more than 2 modules the delayed start up happens. (black screen 20 Seconds)
I also have tried PRAM and SMU resets after changing the RAM setups, and the issues always occurs when I have more than 2 modules. As you can see I have 6 SAMSUNG modules and even with identical modules the issue happens, when increasing the RAM to more than 2 modules.
The Mac Pro runs fine after the start up screen and can see all the modules, but has anyone else come across this issue, or have any ideas as to why my Mac Pro is taking 20 seconds to start up with 20 GB RAM?

Hi there. Thanks for your comments.
I have tried all the different combinations of RAM setup, and as stated in my initial topic, the Mac Pro boot up time only slows when I have more that 2 modules. Where I place these does not seem to make a difference.
I have taken the Mac Pro to an Apple Reseller technician yesterday and they where not able to find any RAM errors. Apparently the boot up time is within Apple's acceptable parameters for this set up.
Could anyone that is running a Mac Pro 2009 with more that 4 modules of RAM, please let me know if the boot up time is normal. ( the time it takes from pressing the power button to seeing the gray screen around 16 - 20 seconds)
Or is anyone else having the same issues?
thanks for your responce

Problems with Wifi on iphone 4 after updating ot iOS 5.1

After I update to iOS 5.1 is started having problems with my home wifi.
After the update every thing seems to be running alright after after a day my connection was lost.
When I tried to reconnect I got the message "unable to join the network".
I tried the following things:
- Forget network, reconnect: This did not help
- restart iPhone: did not help.
- Reset network settings: did not help.
The next step I tried was to restart my router.
This solved the problem, but after 1 day I have the same issue.
When I go to work there is no problem when I get back home same thing over again.
This is going on ever since I update to iOS 5.1
Before the update I had no problems.
Does anyone have more perment solution.

I have the same issue with my iPhone4 running ios5.1. I have tried everything you mentioned above as well as updating the firmware on my router, setting my router to broadcast on 2.4GHZ or 5GHZ exclusively, assigning my iPhone a static address as well as a multitude of other mentioned fixes. I have determined this is NOT an issue with my WiFi Network, or Router. All other wireless devices in my home do not have this issue; except for my partner's iPhone4S also running ios5.1. It's WiFi issues are identical to mine. Our other Smartphone, an HTC running Android, has no WiFi issues whatever.
When I attempt to use WiFi on other networks with my iPhone4, I encounter the same issues: Intermittent connectivity,reporting that it is "Unable to Join Network", showing a strong WiFi signal on screen and yet having no WiFi connectivity, showing WiFi connectivity on screen and strong signal strength, and having no IP Address(etc) under WiFi Networks Settings. After spending a great deal of time online looking for solutions I have determined the following:
This is clearly an Apple Hardware or Software issue. I hope Apple eventually addresses this issue because it is extremely frustrating!

With the word 'automatically', yes you do need pulseaudio. I'm sure you could cook up some udev or related rule to do that in Alsa, but pulseaudio would be easier.

Problems with result area in workbooks after upgrade to BW 3.5

Hi,
we are experiencing some problems with our <b>workbooks</b> after the upgrade to BW 3.5. When refreshing all queries in a workbook (that was there before 3.5) without selecting a specific query we get the message <b>'Result area</b> cannot be found, specify a new one'. After selecting, the message appears again in an infinite loop.
Has anybody had similar problems and has found a solution for this?
Thanks,
EMS

Hi,
I am having that message, always if I delete a Sheet which contains an embeded query.
Even the sheet is deleted, the SAPBEX has information of all the embeded queries, and tries to find the Result area to put the data.
To find out if this is your case as well,
select an empty cell in a Sheet and continue like that, until all the embeded queries are been displayed.

I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade

I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade in early August. Windows 7 Ultimate/x64.
It stops connecting to WPA2 Enterprise (AES-CCMP), Microsoft PEAP, no server cert, with any credentials I try to use. The same account(s) works with native Intel manager on other notebooks and on mobile devices. I lost the wireless connectivity to enterprise WiFi network.
And, after deinstallation of Access Connections, the inability to connect keeped intact with native Win7 WiFi management.
I think, something was broken in Access Connections 5.83 Build 83C753WW and some registry settings/ dll modules were altered but not returned to normal after deinstall.

Access Connections is definitely broken for WPA encryption. Both versions 5.02 and 5.84 fail for me. If I use the Windows XP wireless configuration instead of Access Connections, everything works.
Does anyone know how to report this to Lenovo? I chased links around the web site but couldn't find a place.
