Problems after user migration

I bought a new iMac. It's beautiful.
I used migration assistant to bring over to the new iMac my old users and applications.
Now I can't replace apps in the application folder. I have to throw away the app I want to overwrite first and I have to enter my admin username and password first too.
Plus I can't run install scripts either. They flash for a second in the dock then disappear.
I have fix permissions and run YASU, but no luck.
Any advice?

I'd first create a file, then use the Finder's menu option File > Get Info to verify what user owns it. Then perform the same operation on those application files. I'll guess that you'll see a different owner. To fix the problem, you'll have to change the owner of the application files.

Many problems after data migration

I recently installed an SSD on my Early 2011 MBP. I put my old drive in an enclosure and after installing Mavericks 10.9.4 on the new drive, I used Migration Assistant to copy over all my Users/Applications etc. Many problems ensued. One of the users migrated without any (major) problems. The other user had the following issues:
1) Every time I log in, several programs automatically open (Word, Powerpoint, Messages, Preview, Firefox). Even if I quit them all, log out and/or reset, then log back in, they all open back up again. This didn't happen before. None of these programs are in Users & Groups --> Login Items.
2) iCould, Facetime and Messages all ask my for me AppleID password, every time I log in. Facetime even asks for the password twice (I put it in correctly. If I put it in incorrectly it lets me know). It does this every time I log in.
3) Facetime and iMessage won't connect to the network. However, if I make a new user and sign in to Messages it works, so I know the network is fine.
4) Every time I start Firefox, it opens to the "recovery" page. I can delete the profile information, and it gets rid of this problem, but then I have no history/saved passwords etc. and that defeats the purpose of having my information migrated over.
I've googled the above issues and tried all the solutions I could find but nothing works. I'm fairly computer literate but this is causing me to pull my hair out! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I resolved the problems above by using Linc Davis' post on Nov 23, 2013 11:44 AM on this thread: Could not sign in to iMessage.
Details copied again below
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.

Permissions problem after using Migration Assistant - unable to copy files

I have a PowerBook G4 and 2 iMac G5 desktops - one iMac at home and one at work. I've had the iMac at home and the PowerBook for a while. The iMac at work is one I've just inherited from another user. Both are exactly the same model - 2Ghz iMac G5 (ambient light sensor). All 3 machines are running Mac OS X 10.4.6.
I decided to use Migration Assistant to transfer my Admin user account on the PowerBook to my work iMac G5, all of which worked great. So I now have an exact copy of the user folder from my PowerBook on my work iMac G5, and consequently the same combination of username/password.
When I mount the drive from my PowerBook on my work iMac via AFP I can copy files from the PowerBook to the iMac. But if I try to copy the file back to the PowerBook I receive the error "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items". The file does appear on the PowerBook, but it is 0K and therefore useless.
Worse, if I'm replacing a file on the PowerBook, I get the usual "An item named "blah" already exists in this location..." dialog. If I click Yes to replace the file it is wiped, but then the permission error pops up leaving me with a 0K file on the PowerBook and no original.
If I mount the work iMac drive on my PowerBook I see exactly the same issue - i.e. I can copy to the local machine from the mounted drive. But I cannot copy anything back without receiving the permissions error.
My home iMac G5 was not set up using migration assistant, but I do use exactly the same combination of username/password. It does not exhibit the same behaviour. I can mount the PowerBook drive on the home iMac and happily copy files back and forth with no permission errors at all. And the same if I mount the home iMac drive on the PowerBook - no problems.
So I'm guessing that this behaviour is a result of using Migration Assistant to create the user account on my work iMac. If I log into another account on my work iMac, mount the PowerBook drive and copy a file to the PowerBook it works fine. The problem only occurs in the account created by Migration Assistant.
Does anyone know how to resolve this, short of having to create a new user account on the work iMac and move all my files from one account to the other?
PowerBook 12" G4 867Mhz & 2 X iMac 20" G5 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi,
you need to adjust the permissions for the files on your harddrive.
I think you have serveral users in different groups that may result a permission conflict.
- Put or copy your files you want to to a new folder.
- Use this tool, its easy to use for ppl that are not familiar with unix permission setup over the terminal: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6440
- give all files recursively all permissions (for testing) (777, owner, group, others)
- then test the copy procedure
this should help

SSRS 2012: Report Header PrintOnFirstPage-problem after report migration from SSRS 2008

Hi ,
I developed my report using VS 2008 IDE and the report header property "PrintOnFirstPage" is set to False.
The content of the header are some textboxes and lines that should show only on page number > 1.
This works fine in VS 2008 IDE in preview mode as well as with reports rendered by SSRS 2008 report server.
Recently I migrate&convert the same report to SSRS 2012 I noticed a different rendering behaviour of my report.
So in VS 2010 preview mode, the page headers content (textboxe etc.) is not visible on first page but the headers space did not colapse as it does in VS 2008 IDE preview mode.
I checked all the report properties but unable to find a solution to my problem.
I was able to reprduce the same behaviour by creating a new report using VS2010 IDE.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated
Thanks
Bodo

Hi BodoHH,
I have tested on my local enviorment and can't reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by many factors, it can be caused by the properties setting and can also caused by the visual studio, Detais information below for your reference:
As you mentioned that you have check all the report properties, please also check the tablix,Page Header,report body properties to see if the size are the same with that in the SSRS2008.
Please open this rdl report in the report builder to see if the print layout is correct, if it works fine, the issue can be caused by the visual studio.
Please also try to upload the rdl report to report manager to check the layout.
Please also provide the snaphot of the layout in VS2010 to let us better analysis about the issue.
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Core audio stutter after user migration (with system settings)

my girlfriends mbp recently fried its logicboard. Shes got a new 13" now, but migrated her user to my mbp in the while waiting. She also imported the system settings (machine name was changed) and since then my core audio is messed up. I use a Tascam US-122, Motu 828MK2 and Digi 003 and at the moment only the Motu and built-in audio drivers work normally. The other two stutter. Re-installing drivers for the devices did not help.
Any advice on what to trash or should i try to install 10.6 on top of this again?
This is a 3 month old install and i'm not keen on doing it again.

anybody?

Why is there no data on my new MacBook Pro after using Migration Assistant?

Last night I launched Migration Assistent between my MacBook to my MacBook Pro. It said it would take 12 hours so I left it over night. When it finished this morning it said that some files were not able to be transferred. But there is absolutely nothing on my new MacBook Pro. Why is that?
My TimeMachine backup disk has a cable that won't work with the new MacBook Pro so what other choice do I have to transfer data?

Problem after migration from time machine

I recently changed the hard disk in my macbook to a bigger one,
and then used migration assistant and my time machine backup to restore the system.
Everything seems to work just fine except aperture.
about 90% of my projects do not show any thumbnails, just outlined gray boxes with a file name
when I click on them I get to see the photo in question but when I click "show master" aperture says "master image offline" (and does not show the photo anymore)
my Library is referenced and the masters are located on the computers hard disk itself (not on an external one) and they are all there !
(i.e. they were perfectly transfered from time machine)
when I first opened aperture after the migration I got a message that the library was corrupted, I clicked repair and this produced a recovered folder
with a recovered project which as far as I can see is empty ?
I tried the 3 trouble shooting tools (repair permissions, repair database and rebuild database) none of which changed anything
I was going to try to restore the library file from time machine but now time machine says that I do not have permission to acces the pictures folder !?
(at least not on any backup older than the last one, which was done after the system was migrated)
I am starting to get stuck here, I found several references online to the same problem but no real solution.
Any ideas?

OK, so I did a clean install of snow leopard from the installation DVD and then used setup assistant to restore from time machine.
Since time machine had already made backups after I migrated for the first time it basically restored the system
to its previous state (with aperture not working properly), it did however restore the admin account which I had already deleted.
This allowed me to access my older time machine backups.
When I tried to restore the aperture library file (after first deleting the current one and emptying the trash)
I got a window saying copying 0kb from 10,68GB that just hung there
after checking my user account I found an aperture library file of about 6GB, I deleted this and did the restore again and let the window saying copying 0kb of 10,68GB run for half an hour, I then found an aperture library file in my account of 11GB. I opened aperture and guess what? exactly the same as before! no thumbnails and no access to masters except for about 10 projects (in fact every time I try this aperture makes previews for exactly 608 photos !?
I might try to copy the libary file from the old hard disk if I find something to mount it, but I am starting tho think that i will just have to reimport the entire library, and forget about the versions and be thankfull that I at least saved the masters :-(

Password problem after migrating to Mountain Lion Server

Hello everyone,
Yesterday, I migrated our Lion Server to Mountain Lion Server. Everything seemed to work fine. Except since this morning, none of the network user cannot connect to their calendar, reminders, and wiki. They can connect to their account and to their mails. The following line appears multiple times in ApplePasswordServer.Error.log:
Aug 16 2012 16:52:50 700250us client response doesn't match what we generated
It seems that only web services are concerned (vpn, mobile accounts, and mails are working). My initial guess is that the hash computed on the basis of the user password is not computed on the same way on the client machine (which is running Mountain Lion by the way) and on the server. On the other hand, this would be very surprising, since all this stuff is based on standards and unlikely to have changed since Lion.
I tried to create a new "Test" user. Even this new user, created after the migration, cannot connect to its calendar, etc. I also tried to reset my user password using the Server App. It makes no difference, the same lines appear in the logs.
Is anyone experiencing a similar problem ? Does anyone have a clue of what to try next ?
Thanks a lot !

I found out the following:
After looking at the contents of the password server database using the slot numbers of several user accounts, it seems that all users where WEBDAV-DIGEST authentication is failing, have two entries for the digest method "*cmusaslsecretDIGEST". This is obviously wrong. All users who can authenticate successfully have only one such entry.
Deleting and recreating the user account has no effect. In fact, updating the password server with a new entry may actually trigger this error. It could be that all users where this is failing have changed their passwords after the server was updated to Mountain Lion.
It would be interesting to know if you also see duplicate entries for "*cmusaslsecretDIGEST" in the database. You can display a password server record via the user account's slot number (in your example, the 0xd6ace...) using the command
sudo mkpassdb -dump <slot-number>
At the end of the record dump, you should see 10 digest entries with their method identifiers.

User Profiles are the wrong style after importing/migrating site collections from other SharePoint versions

I manage a couple of different version of SharePoint, which we are in the process of migrating to SharePoint 2013. I have a problem which I am not sure how to resolve. We are using MetaLogix to migrate site and site collection data from an older SharePoint
2007/WSS3.0 server environment into our new SharePoint 2013 environment and we are having a problem with user profiles that get created.
I have SharePoint 2013 set up for "SharePoint Profile Synchronization" and some of our user's profiles are being created in an older format that shows the user's claims account information, rather than the more fancy profile type that allows us
to include pictures and click on "follow this person" links.
If we manually delete the profile, it will be recreated properly however, as we are migrating many sites and collections over, it is near impossible to do this and keep track of each user so that their profiles can be deleted and recreated.
Is there some way to change this behavior so that SharePoint will only create the newer style of user profile?

These 'profiles' are you looking at them in the User Profile Service Application itself or are you looking at site collections? There is a huge difference between the two but people often miss it.
In most cases you'll have some partial information on the Site Collections but when you click through to their actual profile (not just their User Information List entry) you'll see the prettier version. That information is normally internally synchronised
by a timer job but that may not have run yet and/or the fact that your users haven't actually used the site may be causing it not to update them (it's an efficiency matter).
Finally: Drop your sales guy at Metalogix an email, they will bounce it to one of their techies and they'll have seen it a million times.

CORBA problem after migration to JDK 1.5.0_05

Hi,
I faced some errors with CORBA, after performing migration from JDK 1.4.1 to JDK 1.5.0_02
on Solaris 8 2/02 (SPARC version).
I've spend few days on digging in java.sun.com bug database and google archive,
but haven't found similar case.
The problem occurs in a web application launched on Tomcat 5.5.7, if JDK 1.5.0_02 is used and trying to connect with CORBA server.
If using JDK 1.4.1 the CORBA stuff works fine.
I isolated the problem code and found out, that Tomcat
can not cause the error, because i receive the same error while invoking test class from command line.
I use IOR file for obtaining the object reference and default JDK Orb.
The stacktrace(see below) goes through new package in JDK 1.5 com.sun.corba.se.impl.* and java.lang.Class which was
rewriten in JDK 1.5 in order to use generics. Is it possible that the bug lies somewhere in this classes?
I've already spent few days on searching cause of the bug, and found no clues.
Is this a known issue? Does anyone have a workaround?
Have you seen some similiar behavior associated with migration to JDK 1.5.0 ?
I'm running out of ideas, on debugging this stuff, any help or suggestion could be helpful.
Thanks In Advance, Kuba

Mac Outlook 2011 Not Syncing After User Is Migrated from 2007 to 2013

I have a couple users using Outlook for Mac 2011 (14.4.1) that have trouble automatically syncing their mailboxes after being migrated from our Exchange 2007 environment to our Exchange 2013 environment. When they kick off a manual sync, it works
fine. Automatic syncing is very hit and miss and can go for hours before syncing. Identities, accounts, and profiles have been rebuilt without success. Is there something to look for client side or perhaps server side in EWS settings? Thanks.

Hi Peter,
Does this syncing issue occur in OWA?
If it works well in OWA, it seems an issue on the Outlook for Mac 2011 side.
I suggest asking Outlook for Mac 2011 Forum for help so that we can get more professional suggestions.
For your convenience:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoutlook?tab=Threads
Sorry for the lack of knowledge on Mac. If there is safe mode in Mac, I suggest run Mac under the safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins for testing.
If the syncing issue exists in OWA, I suggest collecting app logs for the further troubleshooting.
Thanks

Strange Calendar sync problem after migrating to iOS5

Hello all,
I posted my problem as an "me too" reply to somebody else's thread but think it got a bit lost there.
Since I can't solve this problem I decided to make a new thread.
The problem:
After upgrading my iPhone4 to iOS5 I have a strange calendar syncing issue such that existing entries from one calendar (I've got two, see below) are duplicated on the other .... but only on the iPhone, not on the calendar server (Lotus Notes) itself!
As I couldn't find a normal solution to this problem (already removed the complete Lotus Notes traveler account from my iPhone and reinstalled it again, to no use: the duplicates pop up again) I finally decided to start removing the duplicate entries on my phone. To my surprise however they popup again!!!!!
I added a new entry to the original calender to see whether that one would popup in the other as well but this didn't happen.
It looks to me it must be something wrong on my iPhone as the "duplicates" do not show up in the calender database on the server (using Lotus Notes PC client) nor its replicas.
The configuration:
I sync with two calendars on my iPhone:
- gmail calendar for my private
- lotus notes server (traveler exchange) for my work.
The gmail calender also syncs with my desktop client (outlook 2010) via a small application "gSyncit".
This all worked like a charm on iOS4.
No matter where I modified, deleted or added entries (not only calendar, also contacts and mail) it all stayed perfectly in sync!
Does anybody out here noticed the same and/or has a solution to this?
BTW: I haven't activated iCloud for the calendar/mail/contacts (yet) ...

OK,
I found out what was wrong myself.
In the end it turned out that it had nothing to do with the iOS5 upgrade itself.
In case somebody else stumbles accross this very same problem, here's what was going on:
- Within the latest lotus notes client (on PC) the user has the possibility to display (read-only) external calendar contents (e.g. google's calendar).
- When setting this up you need to supply your external calendar's login/password information and next to that
- also have the possibility to select "View this calendar when offline or on a mobile device"
It was this setting (which I probably accidentally enabled) causing the "issue". Deselecting this option made my duplicate entries disappear on my phone.
