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?

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.

Problems with switch from Windows to Mac

I recently switched from Windows PC to a new Mac and cannot install the Acrobat 7.0 Professional CD that I used with Windows on the Mac. Am I missing something, or do I need to buy a whole new product?

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!

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.

Windows 8.1 Problem with games from windows store.

I've got a problem with games from windows store. The installation is going well without any problems, however when I try to open it it's loading and then it turns off. The same problem happens when I try to use Games for Windows. I've use a sfc scan and
it shows some errors but unfortunately it cannot fix them. Should I share the CBS log or find the solution somewhere else? I hope you help, best regards.

Hi,
According to my experience, the problem like store game app open failed probably caused by hardware driver. such as Audio and Graphic driver. So, first of all, please try to reinstall these two driver to fix this problem for test.
In addition, for SFC scan failed problem, it can be caused by many reasons, I would suggest you use another command to fix your system for test.
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
Also you can test SFC command in Windows 8.1 safe mode.
Thirdly, if problem persists, please check Event Viewer, generally speaking, it would record the app open failed events.

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.

I am having problems with migration assistant (windows pc to Mac 2011) When I get to the 'Quit other applications' box and click continue, nothing happens. There are no other apps running - any ideas, please?

I am having probems with migration assistant. Trying to transfer data from a windows laptop to iMac 2011. It was working fine when I did the set-up yesterday, but it was going to take hours to transfer some videos so I quit the process with the intention of doing it again at a later stage. However today I find that everytime I get to the 'Quit other applications' box on the Mac and click 'continue', nothing happens. Have checked mission control and confirmed no other apps running. Tried several times with the same result every time. Migration Assistant running on my laptop with the 'Waiting for mac to connect' box displayed. Mac is connected to wi-fi OK as able to use Safari and access internet. Any ideas, please?

Thanks for your suggestions. Have managed to get Migration Assistant working but now have a new problem, i.e. where does it save the transferred files?!! Searched a few forums and it seems it saves it under your old username, or suchlike. Anyway I tried logging on as a new user using my old user name but there were only a handful of files there, couldn't locate the majority of stuff from my old laptop. Anyway I don't intend to go through any more hoops with MA - will just save the important stuff to an external drive and transfer it that way. Not impressed with MA at all. I thought it was supposed to be a user-friendly tool to simplify the transfer from pc to Mac - not my experience, I'm afraid!

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.

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

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 with migrating from access to oracle

OMWB has a few problems with upper and lower case letters, when i try to modify my old access DB OMWB cant find the new table in Oracle:
(3011 The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object <name>. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly. )
the problem is that it searching for AP_BILD.A990BILDER but the correct name is AP_BILD.a990Bilder
when i recreate the table as AP_BILD.A990BILDER it worked.
but i cant do that for almost 400 tables!
any suggestion how to fix this?
also have a problem when creating the trigger:
OMWB puts the tablename into 2 double quotation marks each side (""name"") and of course it tells me something of a tablenamelength of NULL and it doesnt work
working with release 9.2.0.1.0 of OMWB

update: if i try to link the table from access directly it also cant find the table, but can find other tables (the others are in upper case).
could it be a problem with the odbc driver? does it automatically look for upper case names?
anyone know how to fix this?
thanks in advance

Problems with migration from Oracle 9.2.0.4 to 9.2.0.8

Hi,
we have 4.7 SAP's version, we tried to migrate from the Oracle's version 9.2.0.4 to the 9.2.0.8. When we tried to bootup the system, after that we succefully startup the DB, we can't startup the application with the start_sap.sh shell. The system returns this message in the log:
Connect to the database to check the database state:
R3trans: connect check finished with return code: 12
Database not available
Connect to the database to verify, that the database is now open
R3trans check finished with return code: 12

did you migrate the database or just install the 9.2.0.8 software?
After database upgrade, your database and the software should have the same version:
select version from v$instance; (software version)
select comp_id,version,status from dba_registry;[/i] (database version)
How are the environment settings of <sid>adm?
Run please R3trans -d or R3trans -x and post the trans.log. Could you please also check the developer traces, if there are any other errors?
Best regards

Problems migrating from windows to mac

I have an old windows computer with very little memory, so my ipod is currently synced with that computer although I manually manage it and have enabled disc use. Because of the low memory on my windows computer I have about 30 movies that are stored ONLY on my iPod (not in itunes). I am unable to copy them back to my computer to store them to back them up (i don't know why, i just tried clicking and dragging, is there a different way?).
I have a new macbook labtop to which i have downloaded some movies i have purchased. I authorized the new computer just fine, but i read that I cannot use my ipod with multiple computers if the operating systems are different. I just want to be able to use my ipod with my mac, but how do I do this without losing 100s of dollars worth of data on my ipod since i supposedly have the wipe the ipod clean i order to sync with the new computer and i don't have it backed up due to low memory on my old windows computer? Besides, how do I back it up so that it will run on a mac if all i have is a windows computer and a mac it won't sync with unless i wipe it clean?
thank you, im appologize if this is confusing, i would be happy to answer any clarifying questions

The iPod is a one way affair except for iTS purchases which can be moved back to an authorized computer. To prevent an iPod from syncing - on a Mac - hold down the 'option' + 'command/apple' key at the same time when plugging in the iPod - keep the keys down until the iPod shows in the Devices list in iTunes.
You can use a program such as Senuti or Pod Works to transfer your stuff back to your Mac.
When the Mac loads the iPod it creates folders and then puts the music files into those folders and scrambles the file name these folders and files are invisible. This could be a move to help make it more difficult to pirate tunes. As you have Disk Use enabled you can down load a variety of utility programs that will 'show invisibles' such as Tinker Tool (do a Google search)- once the invisibles are visible then you can see all the folders on the iPod (except for an iPod Touch). When you look in the folders you will see that there is gibberish and the file names make no sense - just drag a file into iTunes and iTunes will read the id3 tag and list it by that info in the iTunes window and will convert the file name back to something that you can understand on your HD.

Samsung SSD causing problem with upgrade from Windows 8.0 to 8.1

I'm having trouble upgrading my HP Desktop from the OEM installed Windows 8.0 to 8.1. I first attempted the upgrade when 8.1 was first rolled out. It seemed to upgrade okay, but after a reboot I was left with a black screen... no error messages, just a black screen.
I retried it this morning, but this time it failed with DPC_Watchdog_Exception and then Machine_Check_Exception. After searching through several forums, I'm "guessing" it may be Disk 0, which is a Samsung 830 Series SSD (Model: MZ7PC256/0H1, s/n: S0U3NSAC705912, p/n: MZ7PC256HAFU-000H1) that was installed and configured by HP when I ordered this desktop in 2012.
Samsung's Magician software doesn't recognize this SDD as a supported product, but they do identify it as a Samsung MZ7PC256HAFU-000H1, with Firmware version CXM05H1Q. I thought I'd see if a firmware upgrade was available, but there's no information about this SSD on Samsung's support site. Also, HP doesn't offer any firmware for this SSD... not even the original firmware. Everything I've seen on the internet says it's a custom OEM SSD that's not supported by Samsung.
I'm not desparate to upgrade to Win8.1, but I would like to know exactly why the upgrade keeps failing. I have another SSD available (a Samsung 850 Pro, model: MZ-7KE256BW) that I've considered using to replace the current Drive 0, but I hate swapping out parts without knowing it's actually the problem.
I'm open to advice. The info on my current system follows. Also, I should point out that there are no device conflicts nor outdate drivers.

Hi,
You will find the latest firmware for the Samsung 830 at the Samsung SSD download site. Additionally, you will also find the latest version of the Samsung Magician.
Backup your data and be sure to create the external HP recovery media.
I prefer not to clone but rather to use the external HP recovery media to load the SSD.
If you are not on the latest SSD firmware then flash the SSD. Use the latest version of the Magician to do so.
Disable Secure Boot in the BIOS before cloning the hard drive.
Then reformat and clone the SSD using the latest Samsung migration software. Use the original HP hard drive as the source and it needs to be intact as you need to bring across all of the partitions.
Power off the PC and disconnect the original boot HD.
Connect the SSD to the original boot SATA port.
Do not have any other SSDs or hard drives connected that contain an EFI partitions or you might run into issues with multiple Windows boot loders.

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..
