Trouble with migration tool

Not sure if I am in the correct forum. I am trying to migrate information from my old faithful g-4 iMac to my shiny new MacBook Pro. I performed all of the steps as instructed, I don't find any of the files on my new system. I was expecting photos, documents, music, etc to be part of the migration. Was I expecting too much? If anyone could assist, it would be appreciated.

Worked it out myself. The migration tool had setup another user. All is well.

ZAM to ZCM Migration with Migration tool

Hi,
I'm just about to start a test run on a test ZCM server from ZAM 7.5 to ZCM 10.3. I'm using an account that has read only rights to the ZAM database. Does it need anything higher?
Because I'm running a test migration will this affect anything when I go to run it into production? Does the migration tool mark anything in the database to stop the production ZAM from running?
Thanks
Nathan

Trouble with Select tool in Acrobat 9

When I try to make a selection in a .pdf, the selection box is randomly sized and placed. For example, I select an area in the middle of the page, but when I let go of the mouse the selection box reduces in size and moves up/down the page. I am selecting an area with graphics, no text. This does not happen with all my .pdf documents, only certain ones that have been created within certain programs (e.g., ArcGIS 9.3 and geoPDF's).
The Snapshot tool works fine, but the resolution of the selection is much poorer than what I get with the Selection tool after I paste the selection into a Word document.
Is there a way to fix this, or change the settings on the Snapshot tool for better resolution so that I can use that tool instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I suspect that's not the problem, as I have no trouble selecting an area of any size I wish of images/objects most of the time. The Select tool, at least in Acrobat 9, allows you to do this.

Trouble with migration assistant going from 10.5.8 to 10.6.1

Hi,
I have a macbook pro running 10.5.8 and just got a new macbook running 10.6.1. I'm trying to run the migration assistant. It gets to the point where it says 'preparing information' on each computer and then it seems to just hang. I've let it go for 45 minutes and nothing happens past that.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Susan

I'm not sure what you are doing so try this:
On the old computer do the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
With both computers turned off connect a Firewire cable between them. Boot the old computer into Target Disk Mode. After the TDM screen appears boot the new computer normally. After the new computer has started you should find a drive icon for your old computer on the new computer's Desktop.
Open Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder. Select the migration option (should be already selected) to migrate from another computer or hard drive. Then follow the onscreen instructions. For additional help select Migration Assistant Help from the Help menu.

Troubles with Migration Assistant SnowLeopard - SnowLeopard

I had to make a clean install of osx 10.6.8 on itself. before that I madea backup on external HD with TimeMachine. Now, the Migration Assistant reads the content of backup disk but it does not start transfer. Any suggestion? tks

Tks for the answer but the trouble persists. After checking , calculating, and displaying the amount of GB to be transferred, Assistant is stuck right on the screen in Your reply. You can press the button Continue but nothing happens. I have waited for a long time (more than 1 hour) but still nothing else happens.
It's possible the backups are damaged. Try to repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
Why did you do this in the first place? Could there be other problems, such as hardware, that were causing trouble? If so, that may be the difficulty here. You might want to run this: Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test. Run the Extended tests(that may take an hour or so, depending on how much RAM you have). Write down any error code(s) it shows.

I'm having trouble with Migration Asst.

I am in the process of migrating files and settings from my old G4 to my new Mac Mini. In the "Select a Migration Method" window I clicked "From a Time Machine backup or other disk". When I click "Continue" I get a window which says "Select Your Disk" but the spinning wheel in the disk selection pane spins without ever recognizing a disk. The backup disks are mounted on the desktop but I can't find out how to select one of them.
I am using a Firewire 400 external drive with 4 backup partitions. The FW 400 drive is connected to my Mini FW 800 port via a Newer Technology FW 400 to FW 800 adapter.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Trouble with Migration Assistant

I just bought a new Macbook Pro. I have 2.5 year old Macbook pro, running OS 10.4.11. I'm trying to use migration assistant to move everything, but no luck so far. I first tried through the wireless network (knowing it would be slow), but I couldn't get my new computer to see the old one - it would get as far as giving me the passcode to put in the old computer, I'd put that in, and then it would just say preparing or something like that. I waited about 30 min with no luck. So then I went to 3 stores, and eventually found on that sold firewire 800 cables. I tried migration assistant with the firewire option - I get as far as rebooting the old computer and getting the firewire symbol and that's it. The new Macbook pro just keeps saying waiting for computer to reboot. I did upgrade my software on the old Macbook. Not really sure what else to do at this point. Any help would be much appreciated!

Trouble with Migration Assistant! Please help!

My G-4 (OS 9.2.1) flat screen went dark. I want to transfer important files from the G-4 Tower to my new I-Mac OS X (10.4.9). I launch Migration Assistant from the I-Mac. I've got the firewire connected from the G-4 to the I-Mac. I restart the G-4 and hold the T-key on the keyboard down during startup. The Migration Assistant software on the I-Mac indicates it's waiting for the "disks" to appear --- and they don't appear. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

There's no need to use the migration assistant to move OS 9 stuff. Just boot the iMac, hook up the G4 to the iMac, boot the G4 in TDM mode, and when its HD pops up on the iMac's screen, double-click on it, and drag & drop everything from it to the iMac. IIRC, the migration assistant only deals with OS X.

Trouble with Migration manager.

The Migration Manager never ends the cycle. I'm trying to transfer data from my macbookpro to a new iMac. I have followed all the instructions.
I'm working with an ethernet cable. The program starts to run but stops after a few hours.

Thank you so much. I tried your suggestion and it worked!
Thanks again,

Divide layer into 4 quarters and trouble with marquee tool.

Help, please!!! Because I will be doing this often in the near future, I need to create an action to precisely divide a LAYER into 4 quarters, in order to easily create seamless patterns. I'm having trouble figuring out how to automate the placing of guides limited to the center points of the selected layer dimensions, as opposed to the entire image's dimensions. My second difficulty is in selecting the quarters; using the marquee tool, etc, the selection tool is NOT snapping to the guides, despite what I have the Snap To preferences set to. I need to select the pixels right up to the guide line so that I can select the "Make a new layer via cut" and then move the new layers in position to make a seamless tile. Right now, it is selecting a few pixels off. (Annoying!) So until I can figure out how to address these issues, I can't even begin to record an action. Even if I can't record a general action, due to the problem of different layers having different dimensions, I'd be happy to discover a shortcut to accurately quartering a layer and any advice as to why I'm having trouble managing the marquee tool. Maybe I'll get lucky and some kind soul will have already created and be willing to share something to solve this problem I'm currently trying out the CS6 Beta but usually work in either CS5 or PSE 9. For those of you who respond, thanks in advance!

If you want to give a Script a try, paste the following text into a new file in ExtendScript Toolkit (part of Photoshop’s installation, Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities/ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 or /Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities-CS5/ExtendScript Toolkit CS5) and save it as a jsx-file into Photoshop’s Presets/Scripts-folder.
After restarting Photoshop the Script should be available under File > Scripts and can be assigned a Keyboard Shortcut directly, recorded into an Action, (in CS4 and CS5) be used in a Configurator-Panel or started from ExtendScript Toolkit directly.

Having trouble with pen tool.

I was going over a tutorial exercise again about using the pen tool. For some reason the pen tool has changed into a pencil with a line through it and I have no idea why?
I have no problem using the pen tool in a new document also right clicking does not do much of anything either.
Any help on this would be appreciated..

I was actually on the wrong layer that was locked.
Thanks for the feedback, if you didn't mention the layers pallet I wouldn't have thought to check there.
