Trouble migrating from LR 4 to LR 5?

I have a new mac laptop with LR 5. My old mac laptop had LR4. My files and catalogs are on an external drive. I have a 'master catalog" folder, which contains a subfolder' Master catalog2".  I never experienced problems opening this on LR4. I cannot open this in LR 5 and get the following error message: The LIghtroom catalog cannot be used because the parent folder (names location of master catalog) does not allow files to be created within it. Please either fix the folder permissions before continuing or choose a different catalog"   How can I fix the permissions? Do I need to be on the old computer and/or using LR4 first?

Permissions are on the new computer, you need to change the permissions to write permission

  • Trouble migrating from Snow Leopard to Lion

    I've been using a MacBookPro5.2 that's running OS 10.6.8.  I bought a new MacBookPro, and installed Lion on it.  Now I'm trying to migrate my whole electronic life over to the new computer, and I've been having big problems.  I think I may have fixed those problems, but I'm not sure if it's really safe to start using the new computer the way it is.  Can anyone tell me if I'm doing this correctly?  I hope this may help other people having similar problems.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    1.  I ran Software Update on the old mac, to make sure that I had the latest version of 10.6.8.  The only account that exists on the old computer is called "administrator."  The "short name" for that account was my initials, which we'll say are "abc".
    2.  I installed Lion on the new computer (it had come with Snow Leopard originally), started up, and created an account called "administrator," with short name "administrator."  Of note, the new computer was then running 10.7.0, and I hadn't updated to 10.7.1 before attempting the migration.
    3.  I connected both computers to my router, and ran Migration Assistant, checking all of the checkboxes, in order to transfer everything (accounts, applications, settings, and other files and folders).  Migration Assistant noticed that the name of the only account on the old computer was the same as the name of the only account on the new computer.  So I said to rename the account that was being transferred to "admin," with short name "admin."
    4.  On the old computer, I keep almost all of my documents in directories directly under the root directory, not under /Users/abc.  After ten or so hours of migrating, it appeared that pretty much all of those files, including Applications, had all come over to the new computer.  There was also a new account on the new computer, called "admin," as it should be.  However, the "admin" account wasn't set up properly.  I was able to log in as admin, using the old password that I used on my old computer, but admin appeared to have no home directory.  So, for example, my desktop picture and all of the stuff on that was supposed to be on my desktop weren't there, and I couldn't access my iTunes library.  On the dock, where I should have seen icons for "Documents" and "Downloads," I had only big question marks.
    5.  I deleted the "admin" account, started up from the recovery disk, and re-installed Lion from scratch.  Then I ran Migration Assistant, doing it the same way, except that this time I only checked the "accounts" and "settings" boxes.  The transfer was much faster this time, but everything ended up the same.  This didn't fix my problem.
    6.  I logged out of the new computer, and logged in again as my original account "administrator."  Then I saw that there was in fact a /Users/admin home directory, but it was owned by the wrong account, i.e. administrator.  So I did this:
    sudo chown -R admin /Users/admin
    Things then looked a lot better.  I logged in as admin, and now my desktop items are there, my iTunes library is accessible, etc.  I checked, and verified that admin is listed as having administrator privileges.  So I guess my next step would be to delete the original "administrator" account, so that there's only one account left.  Is it safe for me to delete the original administrator account that I set up?  I'm afraid to do that, because I'm not sure that everything is really in order.  For example:
    1.  When logged in as admin, the Macintosh HD icon never appears on my desktop, even if I check the appropriate box under Finder -> Preferences.  It does appear properly if I'm logged in as administrator.
    2.  Dropbox keeps looking for a /Users/abc/Dropbox directory, and breaks because it can't find that directory.  I don't really care about that, because I can just uninstall and reinstall Dropbox.  But I don't want to run into other problems in the future because other applications are looking for /Users/abc.
    3.  In various places, Lion keeps referring to my new computer as "administrator's-MacBookPro," or something like that.  That makes me worry that I'll have some problems if I delete name of the account that supposedly owns the computer.
    So, is it safe for me to proceed with deleting the original account?  I haven't really used the new computer yet, so I'd be happy to wipe the whole hard disk clean and start the migration process over from scratch, if that will help to make everything more stable going forward.  And if someone can tell me how to do that!
    I apologize for the long post.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Whew!  I finally got my new machine working with all my old stuff on it, thanks to baltwo's tip to try reinstalling the OS from scratch, which pointed me in the right direction.  The key additional points were (1) to make sure to  erase the hard drive first, and (2) do the transfer to Lion, rather than Snow Leopard, because at least in my case, SL's Setup Manager was buggy and always hung forever right when it was about to start transferring.  Also for some reason the transfer was much faster in Lion.
    This was a very ugly experience for me.  There were lots of times when my computers crashed, hung, wouldn't wake up, and otherwise made me feel like I was at work, trying to use  Windows boxes.  For the benefit of any other people who may stumble upon this thread, here are a set of steps that you can follow if you have a mac that is new (or new to you) and you would like to have it running Lion, and having all of the stuff from your old Mac on it, but with no other user's stuff on it.  In the simple case where your new Mac comes preinstalled with Lion and you're the first human ever to turn it on, then ignore all of this, and just turn it on and follow the onscreen instructions.  However, I think you should follow the following steps if (A) the new Mac already has on it an account or account that you want to wipe out, and/or (B) the new Mac is running Snow Leopard, and you want to upgrade it to Lion before migrating your stuff over (which I think is a good idea -- as I said, my computer kept crashing every time I tried to migrate from SL to SL, and besides, maybe a "clean install" of Lion is somehow better).
    [If your new Mac is already running Lion, skip to step 4.  If your new mac is running SL, start here.]
    1.  On the new mac (which is running SL), if you're turning it on for the first time, create a temporary administrator account that you're going to wipe out shortly.  If there's already an administrator account on the new computer, log in as that administrator. 
    2.  As the administrator, run Software Update, and keep running it repeatedly and restarting if necessary, until Software Update no longer finds any updates to install.
    3.  Upgrade the new Mac to Lion.  You'll probably do this via the App Store.  After Lion has downloaded and installed, your computer will restart.
    4.  Log in into the new Mac, which is running Lion, as your administrator account.  Same password as before.
    5   Run Software Update, and keep running it repeatedly and restarting if necessary, until Software Update no longer finds any updates to install.  I'm not sure this step is really necessary, but I wanted to be sure that the new Mac was running the very latest version of Lion, since there seemed to be some problems with Lion's Setup/Migration assistant.
    6.  You may not have realized this, but Lion created a locked partition on your hard drive that contains a complete backup copy of itself, plus various utilities, including the disk utility.  Boot your new mac from that recovery partition by starting it up (or restarting it), and holding down "command-R" while it's restarting.  You'll be presented with two choices, asking whether you want to boot from the main hard disk partition, or the recovery partition.  Choose the recovery partition.
    7.  Having started up from the recovery partition, you now need to run disk utility.  If I recall correctly, you do this by pulling down the "Utilities" menu from the top of the screen, and choosing Disk Utility.
    8.  In Disk Utility, choose "erase," and erase the main partition of your hard drive, which I think will be called "Untitled" or maybe "Macintosh HD."  Be sure to highlight "Untitled" or "Macintosh HD" before you go ahead and erase, and don't erase your recovery partition by accident.
    9.  Now you have a pristine, factory-fresh Mac, running the latest version of Lion, with no user accounts on it.  Just go ahead and turn it on, enjoy the music and graphics, and then follow the onscreen instructions for transferring the data over from your old Mac.

  • Having trouble migrating from macbook Pro to macbook Air?

    Apple has kind of messed up with migration from older laptops to Macbook Air. With 140 GB to transfer onto my new Macbook Air, I took a big gulp when my new Air told me casually that it would take about 36 hours to migrate my stuff from my Pro to the new Air over the wireless network. OK, so I have a slow network, sue me. Apple's technical help was no help, and that's getting pretty common. The solution? A data transfer USB cable (PCMACLINK2   USB to USB Data Transfer Cable for Windows and Mac, Startech). A simple USB-USB connection and data transfer rates of around 480 MBS. I think we are good to go. BTW, why didn't Apple release a Firewire/Thunderbolt dongle? Making a new set of dongles for every new Mac seems to be de rigeur these days, so why not add one more? Oh, and Apple doesn't seem to carry a data transfer cable. FAIL!

    Hello,
    I've  been pondering getting a Macbook Air but I want to find out if I can copy over Endnote X4 and Office from my Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard) to a new Macbook Air (Lion). 
    Is it just a matter of drag and drop or using Migrate Assistant or is there anything to worry about between different Macbooks, different versions of OS or some restriction on copying Apps?
    Also, assuming a migration is possible, can I just use my Timemachine external drive or should I buy a cable instead?
    Thanks,
    Jason. 

  • Trouble Migrating from iMac G4 to new MacBook

    I recently purchased a new 13" 2.4 GHz MacBook, as well as a Firewire cable (a 6pin/6pin, but not from Apple), with the intention of transferring my data and some apps from my 5 year old iMac G4. I turned on the new MacBook and followed its instructions to migrate. I connected the Firewire cable, and restarted the old Mac while holding T, so the Firewire symbol appeared on the screen. However, then the migration assistant said I didn't have Mac OS X on the old computer, which is simply not true. Is the problem related to the fact that the new one is Intel-based and the old one is not, or that the old one has a different version (I think) of OS X?

    Do not use Migration Assistant to migrate from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac. See the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
    Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:
    Intel In Macs
    Apple Guide to Universal Applications
    MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
    MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode or copying the critical contents to CD and DVD or an external hard drive will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs.
    Basically the instructions you should follow are:
    1. Backup your data first. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    2. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    3. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    4. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    4. Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
    In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
    If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
    5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

  • Troubles migrating from G4 to Macbook Pro

    Hello --- I just got a new MacBook Pro and used the Migration Assistant, not knowing there were problems with going from powerpc to intel. I just pushed start and did whatever standard migration there is.
    Well, the new laptop has all sorts of problems now ---- Ical won't open, firefox and adobe reader and handbrake won't open, though I've tried to download them again, the computer tells me it has troubles with the keychains and the new 2011 Microsoft Office I had installed on it can't find any settings or fonts, etc.
    Now I discover a page in this forum that advises how to switch over individual library and settings files when going from ppc to intel --- should I use that and manually transfer over that information, or would it just be easier and better to reinstall the whole OS and start over? And if I do that, is there a better way to use the Migration Assistant when I start over? I don't really care about the settings; all I want are my photos and documents.
    I also see from my internet searches on this problem that handbrake and mac the ripper aren't really supported on the latest version of OSX --- could anyone point me in the direction of some good replacements for those?

    I own a MDD G4, and was nervous. And, I had every reason to be when I attempted to use Migration Assistant to take my Powerbook G4 to my Macbook just over a year ago. It did not work.
    So, when my new Mac Pro arrived a couple weeks ago I had already made the decision to NOT use Migration Assistant to move the G4 over to the Mac Pro. .Mac has been a godsend, so much of that information was retained for me.
    I had some pretty major issues with Firewire drives. For some reason, once the drives (I had four of them) were plugged into the Mac Pro, they no longer worked on the G4. In fact, one of the FW drives (a 1TB drive) stopped working on BOTH machines. Two of these drives were brand new. So, there's something going on in either the electronics and the Mac Pro, or the electronics and the Mac Pro and Tiger - never figured it out. I eventually took the FW drive out of it's case and now have an extra internal drive in my Mac Pro, which seems to work just fine - inside the Mac - go figure.
    I eventually set-up a wireless network between the two systems to transfer over my work, photos, music, etc... And I completely reinstalled all of my applications.
    Good luck and back-up first if you can!

  • Trouble migrating from time capsule back-up

    I am hoping to migrate data from a time machine back-up to a new mac. I connected the back-up disk (which backs up multiple computers) and initiated the migration assistant. Unfortunately, when I get to the point of selecting which details I wish to transfer, I am directed to a back-up from a different machine. How can I redirect the migration to use a different back-up file? I tried to copy my target back-up into the backups.backupdb folder but I do not have permissions to do this.

    Read through Q14-17 here. So you can understand how to use TM.

  • Trouble migrating from Power Mac G4 to iMac

    Hi,
    I have a Power Mac G4 MDD (Mirrored Drive Door) with Leopard (10.5.8) installed. I'm trying to migrating my info on the G4 to a new iMac (mid 2011) with Lion.
    I first attempted to transfer my info via Migration assistant and a firewire cable. The computers saw each other and started the process, but hung at "5 hours remaining" for over 24 hours. I tried a second time with same results. I then tried reinstalling Lion on the new iMac and attempted migration via Setup Assistant instead. This time the iMac would not see the G4. I then did some research and downloaded the Migration assistant update for Leopard. Definitely thought this would be the solution and was stunned that the iMac will still not see the G4. Went back to Migration assistant again and no luck there either. Lastly, tried booting the G4 into Firewire target disk mode (no problem), but the iMac still does not see the G4.
    I'm so frustrated at this point. Am REALLY trying to avoid having to manually transfer everything over and would just quit and do that at this point, but am confused by the fact that both machines were initially able to communicate (which did not result in sucessful migration, but at least the two machines saw each other at one time).
    To recap, what happens now is:
    Setup Assistant & Migration Assistant: iMac does not see the G4, but G4 DOES see iMac
    Firewire Target disk mode: G4 goes into tdm no problem, but iMac continually looks for G4 and will not connect.
    (Have downloaded to the G4 migration assistant update for Leopard: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1434)
    I have so many hours into this process, it's unbelievable. I really need some help. Thanks ahead!
    ~Michelle

    Hi Michelle,
    I first attempted to transfer my info via Migration assistant and a firewire cable. The computers saw each other and started the process, but hung at "5 hours remaining" for over 24 hours.
    Hmmm, was this FW Network it sounds like?
    The best way is to put the G4 in Target mode...
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Then only the new iMac needs to run Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant, but you don't choose from another computer, you choose from a Time Machine or other Disk, because now the G4 is only a Big FW Hard Drive.

  • Trouble migrating from SDK 4.1.0 to 4.5.1 with auto updater

    I have just upgraded to Flash Builder 4.5 from 4 but am now having problems with the auto updater.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I need to know I can push the new version out as an update.

    If you have the right software and follow strictly the instructions you shouldn't face any issue to upgrade, here are a few advises:
    1. Create and save in an external location a backup file of the appliance, for this you can go to System Configuration/ACS Backup.
    2. To upgrade from 4.2.0.124 to 4.2.1.15 you will need to download two files from the Cisco page:
    Make sure to install FIRST the one called "ACSse-Upgrade-Pkg-appl-mng-v4.2.1.15-K9.zip", after that you can install the other one. This installation order is very very important, otherwise the upgrade will fail.
    3. In case that something goes wrong with the upgrade don't worry, you have a backup file so you still can install again 4.2.0.124, restore the backup and start the upgrade again.

  • [Lenovo Edge 11] Trouble migrating from a HDD to a SSD

    Good evening everyone,
    I'm currently owning a Lenovo Edge 11" Intel, which I wanted to upgrade by swapping the stock-slow-HDD by a brand new SSD and I'm stuck when I try to restore the factory image from a USB stick.
    This stick contains the recovery image made with the ThinkVantage Recovery Media in the ThinkVantage toolbox.
    First point : I didn't ditched the stock drive data, it is still able to boot the system.
    Second point : I installed the SSD drive, plugged my USB stick with the recovery image, hit F12 and selected it... and nothing, just a message "error loading system".
    I thought that my recovery image may contain something wrong (although I followed the assistant and left checked both checkboxes to create a bootable drive and copy the Q: partition), I fitted back the hard drive and tried to redo a system image. But the utility kicks me out as it tells me that I already made my recovery image.
    What I am supposed to do now ? Thank you for your advices.
    Regards
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if your restore is working or not at this point...
    In addition to setting the partition active, there seem to be some other requirements when preparing a USB flash drive to be recovery media. New or used USB memory keys or USB flash drives require an active partition created from within Wind...
    I've seen cases where just setting the partition active after the fact was sufficient.  Other cases where preparing a 2nd flash drive per the above link and copying the contents of the non-booting drive did the job.  Other times when going through the whole process again was necessary.
    If you still aren't able to run recovery from that flash drive, but can do the done.ini trick, go through that flash drive prep above, then make your recovery media.

  • Trouble Migrating Eudora mailboxes from Windows PC to Mac

    I am having trouble transferring my Eudora mail boxes from my old Windows 2000 PC to my new iMac. I successfully installed Eudora for Mac but ran into a snag.
    According to Eudora, Windows .mbx mailbox files can easily be migrated from Windows to Mac:
    http://www.eudora.com/techsupport/kb/1644hq.html
    However they must be converted with their CRLF utility in order to work under Mac. They provide a link to this utility on the aforementioned page.
    I downloaded their CRLF v1.2 utility and installed it on my Mac, except either it's not working, or I don't know how to use it, and the readme instructions that came with it are confusing and unclear. Executing CRLF v1.2 generates a "...not supported in this system" error.
    (taken from the Eudora support page)
    "Moving the Mailboxes:
    Both versions of Eudora keep their mailboxes in the same format, so conversion is relatively painless. However, Macintosh and Windows file systems handle text differently, so line feed conversion must be done. You can do this by FTPing the files in ASCII (text) mode, or by using a carriage return/line feed conversion utility like CRLF. It's very important that you FTP or convert the files to take care of the carriage return/line feed processing.
    The mailbox files on the PC are the ones in the Eudora directory that end in ".MBX". (Don't bring over the ".TOC" files). "
    I tried removing the .mbx extension, but Mac only recognizes it as "Document." Eudora doesn't recognize it as an "Eudora mailbox file." I see the Eudora mailbox files Eudora generated have no file extension.
    I signed up for Eudora support forum so I could ask there, but they never sent me a confirmation email with activation link, so I can't post anything there. There's no way to contact the webmaster about this problem, email bounces back with "we no longer offer support."

    these reads will be helpful: one and two.

  • Trouble migrating Crystal Reports Custom Functions from BOXI R2 to BOXI 3.1

    I can't seem to migrate the custom functions from the custom function repository in my R2 environment to the 3.1 with FP 1.3 environment.
    When I migrate Crystal Reports using the Import Wizard, they all come over and they retain their custom functions, however, they don't bring over or create a new custom function repository. 
    When I do run the import wizard I have selected the repository radio button, but it does not have any affect .
    How can I migrate all of these custom functions without having to manually open up reports and placing them back into the repository on the new server?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi,
    so if they are published to Rel.2 this looks different.
    Just to clarify it a bit more...these Files are no Datasources for Reports and Universes and your Users dont consume them via InfoView?!
    Whats the purpose for these Files? If they have none, you can de- select them in the UMT and dont migrate them (or better said move them cause you wont actually migrate .csv files). But if nobody touches them, you can move them with the UMT during daily business...how long it will take i cant estimate it. But 65GB for .CSV files is a huge amount.
    But you are correct, to move them from Rel.2 to BI4 you have to use the UMT.
    If you have the ressources and time i would recommend the following (Thats what i usually do with my customers):
    1. Setup a Machine (could be a VM) with the same OS and BOE Version (included SPs and FPs) as your production Rel.2
    2. Schedule a half day or day Downtime to copy the content 1:1 from the production Rel.2 to the VM Rel.2 with the IW or CMS DB Copy. Or do this after Business Hours.
    - With this Size of your FileStore i would recommend the CMS DB copy way.
    - Now you have a 1:1 Testing Environment of your Production Environment
    3. Use the UMT to migrate from your VM Rel.2 to your BI4 installation
    - Here you can see how long it takes
    - You can check if the UMT is capable for this 65GB transfer
    - Can sort out other possible issues
    - Do some other Testing
    After you did that you have a perfect estimation on how long the Migration will take and what for issues you are facing. With this information you can decide if you need a downtime or can do it after Business Hours f.e.

  • Migrating from Exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 ( special case )

    Hello , 
    what is the BEST scenario ( fastest , most efficient , most secure in terms of data loss )  , to migrate from exchange 2007 ( one server , all exchange roles installed on this server , 1200 mailbox ) , to exchange 2013 ? 
    knowing my environment needs to be connected to their mailboxes , 24/7 ! 
    it's very frustrating . 
    and i have no clue even if this is the right place to post about this , if not please refer me as to where to post . 
    Also , All my domain controllers are 2008 .

    It's fine to post your question here, and you are fine with Server 2008 Domain Controllers - that is a supported scenario.
    If you haven't performed such an upgrade and you need to have 24/7 mailbox availability, I would seriously recommend you to duplicate the production environment on a test network and run through the upgrade at least once.
    Most people neglect the Outlook clients requirements - they need to be updated and include several specific updates, which allow the automatic reconfiguration of internal clients. If you are preparing for this upgrade, you should be aware that all internal
    Outlook clients switch to Outlook Anywhere. Clients that miss these updates will get connectivity problems.
    Another common problem is the configuration of the Exchange URL - I mean the Exchange 2013 URL and the modified Exchange 2007 URL that will allow the co-existence. In your case, you definitely need to plan for co-existence - that includes requesting and
    installing a new Exchange UCC (Multiple Domain Certificate) on both Exchange servers, configuring Split DNS (or preferably PinPoint DNS zones), and correct timing when replacing the existing Certificate on the Exchange 2007 server. Failure to configure the
    correct URL (and it's quite easy to miss one, so triple check them) will get you in trouble.
    Once you get through the switchover (switching the mail flow and Client Access through the Exchange 2013 server), move just a couple of test mailboxes and check the result.
    Finally, if you are moving the Public Folders, make sure that the lock is really applied before you complete the process. Most people proceed right away and that get's the process stuck. If you can afford it (the mailboxes are already on the Exchange 2013
    server at that point), just restart the Exchange 2007 server (after locking the Public Folders) and then complete the Public Folder migration.
    Good Luck with the project!

  • My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my iMac without installing Lion first?

    My new iMac is not shipping with Lion installed. Will I be able to do a Migration from my PC to my new iMac? I only want to transfer photos and my music, currently on my PC (and on my iPod Touch & iPad).
    Can anyone give me a list of steps to follow or let me know if Migration Assistant is available prior to Lion for PC to Mac?
    Thank you so so so much!
    -SweetDee

    SweetDee,
    I'd be VERY surprised if your machine was not shipping with Lion installed. However even if it doesn't when you initally install Lion it will launch into Setup Assistant, if you follow the prompts it will ask if you are migrating from another machine. You can use Pondini's Lion Setup Assistant tips for help, look for the section(s) on MS Windows migration. Also I would strongly recommend bookmarking and studying the following sites:
    Switch 101
    Mac 101

    In closing remember you have 90 days of free telephone support with AppleCare. If you run into trouble they will be happy to assist or if you have an Apple Store in your area you can book an appointment with a Genius and they can usually help you out.
