Transfer novice

Brand new just out of the box(that's me and the Ipad). I have carried out sync process to PC Itunes. All present on PC but not now on IPad. Status bar showing audio and video content on device, but when entering folders they are empty. What did i do wrong and can someone tell me how to put it right.

By entering folders I assume that you mean the iPod and Videos apps on the iPad ? If neither of those two apps show any content (and the Summary tab on your computer's iTunes and Settings > General > About on the iPad indicate that the content are on the iPad), then try a reset and see if they show their content when the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
There is help on this page for syncing music http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1351 (it says iPod and iPhone but it's the same process for the iPad).

Data transfer with some errors on registers. (Novice question)

Hi experts.
First of all i wat to say that i'm realtively novice in BW.
I have an ods object. I have a transformation>Data Transfer Processes>Infopackage to load data to it.
I execute this with a process chain.
well the roblem is that some registers I get are erroeous. That's ok, i just want lo load the OK regs, but when this happens the sistem does't load any.
I want to load only the good registers and be reported about the errors too.
Can someone please give me some advice about this?? I think thje secret is in the error handling customizing on the DTP, and maybe create a error DTP and something in the infopackage.
Any tip to me please?
Thank you!!!

Hi,
you need to maintain some parameters in the update tab of the dtp.
a) set the error handling to update valid records, reporting possible (request green)
b) enhance the no. of error records to the size of the data packet.
c) create a error dtp
Now all records without error will be updated, the request will be green and so available for reporting. The records with errors will go to the error stack and can be edited there. The records of the error stack will be updated thru a error dtp.

Siggi

How do i transfer migrated files from one user account to another

Mac novice so please be kind!!!!

Was this transfer from a Windows PC to your new Mac?
It is that aspect of Migration Assistant that I find less than useful. Even from one Mac to another, creating a new (old) account is like sorting through old boxes deciding what to put where. This is why I say MA is really only useful at the very outset where the account it creates is the one you will be using.
Anyway you have a whole lot of content in a different account that you want to move into your main account.
Not the only way, but a good way is to drag the folders of files and photos into your desired main user account, putting them in to the Drop Box ;
Macintosh HD / Users / collies? / Public / Drop Box
Then log into your main account and collect them from the same location.
This method is a bit clunky but it will update the ownership permissions of the moved files to the extant account.
Set up your email in your new account from scratch.
For general information, the following link has a great deal for the novice.

How to transfer all the data from Logic pro to other drive (faster)?

Hi
I am trying to upgrade the performance of my Mac and decided to upgrade the RAM and to use a dedicated HardDrive for Logic Pro using firewire (i have a mac mini server...). Think the Processor e fast enough...
How can i transfer all the information for that drive?
Can i move the media library from the OS drive to the new drive? or has it to stay were initially instaled?
I moved to Mac because my Windows "Super 16GB QuadCore PC" was giviing me trouble...in relation to connections, critical errors...
I am a novice on the Mac "ways"...
Can someone give me directions?

Logic doesn't store the majority of its data in designated library places, so you can put your session files and audio files wherever you want. If you move the location of something, say an audio file, and logic doesn't know where to find that asset, then it'll present you with a dialog box which asks you if you can tell it where you moved it to, or if you'd like it to go off and search for files of that name for you. They're all just files on a hard disk. There's only a few things which have to be stored in particular places, such as preferences or sampler instruments. Anything that isn't part of the program, you can store it wherever you want. In a session you can have for example all the live parts on one hard disk, and then all your samples on another hard disk. It's all arbitrary and can be defined by you.
So yes, you can generally keep your media library wherever you want (as far as Logic is concerned).

I want to transfer all data on my partner's AB to a separate account on my IMac. Is there a special way to do this?

The data icludes Mail, Contacts and Calendar, as well as all other data, such as ITunes, MS Office etc.

however, the main user account did not come across, even though I selected it to do so. I do however, have the main user account under preferences/accounts but it shows as "sharing only" Does this mean I should have turned off sharing before the migration.
Is it shown that way on the Air? If so, it will transfer the same way. (I've never seen that on anything but theGuest Account.) From the Help for Accounts:
Ross: I can't see any changes to the Air, I wasn't sure if it would be literally transferred, deleting from the Air, or just copied onto the iMac. It appears to be the latter.
"Sharing Only: Sharing only users can access shared files in a specified location, but can’t change files on the computer or log in using the login window."
If it isn't shown that way on the Air, the copy must have been damaged. Try deleting it from your Mac, then do the Migration again (selecting only that account).
Ross: ok, will do but this is sharing computers on the same network, I perhaps should have stopped that before migration but have been unable to find out how to do it. Will check further through Support.
Or do you (did you) already have an account with the same name?
Ross: No. The only account with the same name was the shared one, per the note above. This I understand gives/gave each of us access to the other's computer, which coincidentally we never seemed to use.
Second problem is I have about 7gb of data that did come across, spread through Macintosh HD etc
Not sure what you mean by that. Was this "Other files and folders on the MBA"? Did you select that option? That should get only top-level items that aren't system files (there should be little or nothing there).
Ross: Ok, during the migration it stated it was migrating 7gb. I have search finder for the volume and there are a lot of folders/files that have updated/changed at the time of the migration, as well as some new ones added. This includes a vodafone setup folder which can only have come from the Air, as I don't or have ever used vodafone. I can't find that volume though, although it is all in my account. I assume this is because the account/s didn't come across. One account did come across, called administrator which was one of two accounts with admin access. I have deleted that account now and will deselect next migration.
I am unable to restore using time machine to get rid of it, as it has a problem doing so when there are new accounts/users.
I don't know what you mean by "unable to restore . . . to get rid of it." Why would you restore from Time Machine to get rid of anything? Can you clarify?
Ross: Well, my idea, relating to the previous note, was to restore my iMac to a time prior to the migration, so I could be sure I got rid of the first migration. I assume now, though, that anything that anything that did come across won't do so again.
Pondini, the last question now is should have I done the migration from within my account, or setup another, so to isolate anything from me?
and oh, by the way I appreciate the time you have spent with me. As you can see I am bit of a novice but not quite a ludite but I really thank you for your effort. What's all this about "level 7 and points?" Do you get graded by Apple for the time you spend on these things? Sounds like they should pay you but I guess that's not the idea of a community. Thanks again.

0 Results in Data Transfer. Similiar issues anyone?

Hello all,
Please reply if my question isn't clear enough for anyone that may have expertise on this issue. I'm a bit of a novice to BW, but I understand completely how the ETL process should work. Here are the steps I've taken so far that have produced no results:
1) I've created a datasource that uses data from an infotype table in r/3.
2) I've tested the extractor using rsa3 and received 791 results when I omit selection criteria.
3) I've replicated the datasource onto bw.
4) I've created an infoObject that will act as an infosource since I'm using master data.
5) My datasource only has 5 fields since I want to accomplish a simple transfer to see the whole thing working (from date, to date, personnel number, and employer, and city)
6) After activating my infosource and creating transfer rules (actually using transfer rules proposed by the system), I then created an infopackage, started the transfer immediately while skipping the PSA and going to the infoObject directly.
7) As you all know, I've obtained 0 records when I should contain 791 records.
If anyone sees any flaws in my steps, any advice would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Meezy

Meezy,
In the load monitor, in the Extraction section, can you see all 791 records were extracted?
Is the "key" field included in the Transfer Rules and the Infosource? I mean, if your InfoObject is "0MATERIAL" or "ZMYOBJECT", for example, make sure 0MATERIAL or ZMYOBJECT are part of the Infosource and mapping in the update rules as well.
I assume you're not using any filters in the Infopackage. That's why you expect to see the same 791 records you get in RSA3, right?

Luis

HT1657 Rental movie disappears from PC after transfer and never shows up on iPad

Article says I can transfer movie rental from my PC to my iPad (1) and that it can only exist ion device at a time. I transferred the movie, it disappeared from my PC (in Rentals catregory), but never showed up on my iPad. What now?

Thanks for replying. I tried your solution also but it didn't help. Apple gave me a 2.99 credit to my account and told me to download it again. Next time I'll download it on the device I want to watch it on, so I won't have to worry about transferring it. Apple needs to make this whole process more user friendly. I am far, far from a novice, but I am a Windows guy, not a MAC guy. Even so, I felt like a novice user having to hunt and peck just to be able to try and transfer the movie. Once I did it, and I probably could not duplicate what I did because it was just luck, the movie disappeared. I was surprised they came back with a credit so quick. Thanks again.

Transfer files from 8600/200 to new Imac 20/SD

Hi,
I know how to turn the computer on- aside from that I am a complete novice- so I request your patience.
My question is how to transfer my documents from my old computer (PowerMac 8600/200-Operating system 8.1) to the new Imac 20/SD 2.4 GHz IntelCore 2 that is due to arrive any day now. I also have documents on Zip discs that I need to transfer.
I just switched to cable from a dial up connection- so now the 8600 does not have an Internet connection. I have borrowed, and am currently using my mom’s eMac Power PC G4 that has a USB Hub in the extended keyboard.
The 8600 has slots for disc, Zip and CD. The new computer I believe only has a CD slot.
Can I connect a Zip drive to the new Imac 20/SD to copy Zip data onto the new computer? Would I need a different type of Zip drive to connect to the old 8600/200? This is probably a dumb question but would my mom’s eMac keyboard with a USB slot work on the 8600 so I could transfer files in some way using the USB slot?
Also, - as secondary question how can I best use my faithful 8600- and not have to totally retire it.
I would appreciate any help/info you can share on this topic.
Thanks
Ellen-

Ellen,
You can find used zip drives for cheap at surplus stores and recyclers. Zip disks are great for transferring data and moving a file to a computer with a color printer, etc. Do not use them for storing data.
You will need one that is SCSI and one that is USB. They can be found for $5 apiece. Be sure and get a non dead on arrival (DOA) guarantee because the prior owner may have experienced the click of death and loss of data on an older drive.
Google 'click of death' and 'zip drive' and you will have plenty of horror stories to read. Out of 50 zip drives, I keep the good ones marked and separate from the older disasters - usually a dark blue case. The drives have plenty of great uses and $5 is much better than the $250 I was happy to pay when our first one was new. Do not let the click issue discourage you from trying them, just be forewarned.
Here is a 1998 news article:
http://www.news.com/Clickof+death+strikesIomega/2100-1001_3-207628.html
Drives from that era are still around even though the problem has long since been cured. Iomega learned about quality control the hard way.
More reading for solutions:
http://www.grc.com/tip/codfaq1.htm
Even Wikipedia has it documented:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickofdeath
With that said, if you can find a store with $5 zip drives and a good return policy, go for it.

Using iPhoto after photo transfer

As a novice to Mac, I have recently learned how to transfer photos into iPhoto from my mobile. However, once imported my photographs are smaller than normal screen size. Can they be edited to full screen size. I have tried increasing the slider to maximum, but they still don't fill the screen. Can anyone assist please?
Mac OSX Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi dianej
The reason your photos are not filling the screen is probably because your mobile is sending very small pixel dimensions. If you look at the information in iPhoto, it will tell you the size. Click on the "i" button to bring up the info window. Size displayed on the screen depends on the pixel size the photo is saved. If your screen resolution is for instance 1200 x 900, then the photo would have to be the same size in order to fill the screen. Your photo is probably in the range of 600x 400 which is a low resolution. Screen size probably would equate to about a 4" x 3" picture on the screen. Magnifying it using the slider button will enlarge it only so much. To get the photo to fill the screen, it would have to be saved in a higher resoultion which you probably can't do with a mobile phone. You can use another program to edit and change the pixel size, but enlarging a low resoulution photo to a high resolution photo will have to add a lot of pixels which will have to blend in resulting in a poor quality photo.
Also, in order to fill the screen exactly, you would have to make sure the image size is the same proportion as the screen. Different screens have different width and height.

Transfer playlist to new ipod

I have just replaced my ipod mini with a new one following battery problems. My playlist won't transfer to the new ipod mini. Can anyone tell me what I can do about this as I have a new ipod with no songs on it? Many thanks to any one who can help

My new ipod mini does not seem to recognise anything. When I bought my original ipod I had no trouble establishing a play list but with this one I can't seem to get it recognised by the computer. Therefore I can't get anything onto the ipod to play. Maybe I am missing part of the process and I know on another apple site it dpes say that you cannot transfer a playlist from one ipod to another! Is this also correct?
Any help would be greatly appreciated by this novice!

I am using final cut express 4. It seems that any clip over a certain length, say 5 min, does not fully transfer! All shorter clips are perfectly fine. Is there some reason why longer clips are not fully transferred? (a half blue circle shows up on the transfer list, indicating that the clip was not fully transferred. When I check in the capture scratch folder, sure enough the whole clip is not there!
Is there some glitch in final cut express that only allows short clips to be transferred in full?

Thanks for the reply. I'll try to answer all the questions (I am a relative novice). Your help is appreciated.
By the way, the other reply I received suggested the following:
In Final Cut Express>System Settings>Scratch Discs make sure the Limit Capture/Export File Segement Size To: is not checked.
I did this and it was already unchecked. So this is not the answer...
The strange thing is, I have been logging and transferring with FCE for 2 yrs without any problems at all with shorter clips, but have come up against the problem with long clips (over 5 or so min) the whole time. I got around it by simply making sure I stopped recording after less than 5 min while shooting footage. OR if I accidentally got a long clip, I import into imovie and then import into FCE. Not very streamline and I worry about compressions altering quality!
I am now trying to import a 20 min and a 17 min clip and it only transfers around 3 minutes of each, I have re-tried several times and it happens repeatedly. The blue circle in the transfer list shows up as a half blue circle instead of full. Clip cuts off after 3 or so minutes.

Transfer rotoscope path to different layer

A novice rotoscoper, I got a little confused from having read and watched tutorials with several diffeent styles of rotoscoping.
Some said to use a layer in between path and actual subject layer with the eyeball turned off. Then lock the actual target layer so as not to move it around inadvertantly.
I may have that confused a bit... if so, it not the tutorials doing but mine.
Cutting to the chase; I have a solid light grey layer with the opacity turned down to 1. above a footage layer of my great grandson doing his first zombie walk.
I spent a lot of time getting a mask to follow his little head in his trek across the floor. Now I wanted to transfer the mask path points over to the target footage layer. I clicked the footage layer with the pen tool to get a mask started, then with focus on the grey layer/Mask/mask path (all the points are lit up so selected) and copy... then to the footage layer Mask/Mask path - paste. So far so good.
But somehow I must have moved either the grey solid layer or the footage layer sometime during all the pulling and hauling.so the mask misses the head in a perfect offset all the way thru. The attached screen shot illustrates it well. The first one shows the mask on the grey layer, the second on the footage layer.
I tried lining up the layers by setting the `position' parameters the same, also by just eyeballing the crosshair thing that shows the center of each layer.
Trouble is I can't find a way to see the crosshair from the one layer as soon as I focus on the other to move it. Ditto for the path itself. Soon as focus changes the path does to. I may be going the opposite way of what I should, but tried it both ways with both layers and am just not getting how to get it right.
I know I can just do it over, and that isn't really a problem since I can clearly use the practice. But I feel like there must be a a clearcut way to match up a layers position to a path.
At this point I've thoroughly confused the heck out of myself and would like to hear someone lay out how to get two layers to match up

Haa, the footage layer is turned on but the solid layer above was
set to 1% opacity.. with the eyeball off. cranking that up 100 fixed
it. Now I can see the babies head, and the rest is masked out as
expected.
You'd
think the opacity setting on the solid layer would not matter if the
layer eyeball is off anyway, but apparently it does. If I scroll the
opacity up and down with the layer eyeball off, the babies head
appears at higher percentages and disappears below 10 or so.
If you think about it, it makes sense.
A track matte set to "alpha" applies the opacity value of each pixel in the layer directly above to current layer. So, if Opacity for that layer is 1 per cent, that affects the opacity value of all pixels. Leaving it at 100 per cent, means that fully opaque pixels are applied as fully opaque, and fully transparent pxiels as fully transparent.
The visibily control (eyeball) for the layer above is turned off aumatically (if it's not already off) as soon as you set a track matte mode. So, the layer is "seen" for the operation regardless of the visibiliy status.
The column is headed with `T' and when you check it, it says `preserve transparency'. I don't quite get what that is for.
That's called "Preserve Underlying Transparency", and it's a very convenient option... but I am surprised by how many people enable it without knowing what it does. It's not the first time someone gets bitten by it
And what it does is... this layer (the one with the switch turned on) only exists in areas that are not transparent, when taking into account the combination of all layers below. Example: if you have three circles placed in different places, and then create a large text layer and enable this switch, text will only exist in places that match the circles underneath.
More info in Preserve underlying transparency during compositing, in After Effects Help on the web.
Another aspect of this: I wanted to rotoscope the whole body... so as to be able to insert it on differnet backgrounds.
I
could use some ideas on that too. I started with just the head to get
an idea of how its done... but I'm guessing it might be easiest done by
taking several masks to enclose various chunks of the babies body. Is
that how its done?
There are many valid approaches, and whatever works for you is fine. But you can be happy to learn that many experienced roto artists suggest doing exactly as you just described
I really recommend Mark Christiansen's book After Effects CS4 Visual Effects and Compositing Studio Techniques. It has a lot of useful information on roto work with AE.

Software for VHS/Video 8 Transfer onto Mac

Hi. I am looking for some software to be able to transfer footage from our old cancorder, which I think is mini video 8, onto our Mac. I am a a complete novice at this type of thing so don't want anything to whizzy but I am willing and able to learn! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you :0)

Hi,
There is no software that will do this. You need a hardware device called an analog-digital converter. The Canopus ADVC-110 is a good example that is used by many people in these forums.
You would connect the a/v out from your camcorder or VCR to the converter, and connect the converter to your Mac via firewire. Then when you play the videotape in your camcorder or VCR, you can capture the video using iMovie or Final Cut.
