URGENT ! Changing HD between Macbooks

Hello, I've already talked with some people in this forum but I couldn't solve my problem yet.
I have a Macbook White and I wanted to install the 320Gb HD removed from my new macbook PRO. When installing the OS, I receive a message saying that I can't install a fresh copy of the OS, only a backup, which I don't have. I've already formatted to zero following suggestions from the forum, but even this way the system do not let me install it.
What else could I do in this case ? I've tried both OS installation discs, the White and the Pro and both happenend the same thing

Unfortunately, that was bad advice. You wasted your time on that. Some of the other advice could have been faulty too.
All you need to do is boot from the install disk, select your language, then immediately run Disk Utility from the Tools menu. Repartition the disk to have one partition. Click the Options button and make sure it uses the GUID partition setting. That is all I have ever done and it has always worked.
If you still have problems, reply with the exact text of whatever error message you receive.

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

  • HT204053 I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

    I have set up i cloud but my calendars wont sync between MacBook, Ipad and iPhone. Is there a refresh style option or does anyone know what to do to make sure the calendar on my MacBook is the one that the other devices reads. Thanks everyone.

    Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

  • Notes won't sync between MacBook and iPhone/iPad

    I have my MacBook, iPhone (5S), and iPad (Air) all set up to use the same iCloud account but some of the notes won't stay in sync between the MacBook and IOS devices. Both of the IOS devices stay in sync with each other, but changes I add on the IOS devices doesn't sync to the MacBook and changes on the MacBook don't sync to the IOS devices. Any ideas? I am a new Mac user and can't figure this out. I have read many of the related forums and the answer is almost always "they won't sync if the notes aren't in the iCloud folder" but that isn't my problem. The notes are in the iCloud folder but still won't sync.
    Any ideas?!

    Back up any notes on your Mac that have not been synced to your other devices by opening each note clicking that arrow icon on the bottom right, choosing email this note, then email it to yourself.  When you're done, go to System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, uncheck Notes, restart your Mac, then go back and check Notes again.  Then add a new test note on your Mac and confim that it syncs to iCloud now.  If so, recreate any missing notes by copying and pasting the text from the emails you sent earlier into new notes created in the iCloud account.

  • Transfer iPhoto between Macbook and iMac

    I just managed to transfer my iPhoto contents from MacBook to iMac and thought I would share this.
    I needed to do this because my Macbook hard drive is full and I have plenty of space on my iMac.
    Connect MacBook and iMac with Ethernet network cable (I found this the fastest way but you may connect via your home network wifi connection as well)
    In MacBook, Open Finder and on the left pane under Shared, click on your iMac.
    show items as Columns by clicking on third icon on the top pane.
    Make a folder somewhere on your iMac by right clicking on white space. (I made a folder under Pictures)
    Click on this new folder (which should be second column in the view) and third column will be empty as there are no items in this new folder.
    In MacBook, Open iPhoto application, on the left pane click on Photos which will show all your photos in the view.
    Now adjust the size of this iPhoto window and above Finder window so you can see them next to each other.
    To test, just drag one or two photos from iPhoto window to Finder window in the third column (which is empty as there are no items in this new folder)
    If successful, drag other Photos or Videos as required and test by opening this new folder on your iMac. that's it. hope this helps.

    I'm afraid your explanation of what you've done is not clear.
    Did you copy the Library from one machine to the other?
    or
    Did you back up the Library to another Library?
    The distinction is important:
    In your title you ask about
    synchronize iphoto between MacBook and iMac...
    If you mean one direction copying - that is, backing up Library A to Library B, then you'll have no problems.
    However, if you try +bi-directional copying+ - that is changes in Library A reflected in Library B and changes in Library B also reflected in Library B you will corrupt one or both Libraries. No syncing software can parse the Library database to do bi-directional copying.
    Is there something not working if you have the iPhoto library stored as a folder instead of a package?
    No.
    Isn't it easier to have the iPhoto library as a folder instead of a package to synchronize it with another Mac using rsync?
    iPhoto is a consumer application designed to be manipulated in the GUI.
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    So, by running it as a Folder you facilitate this.

  • Images Change Colors between monitors while the UI stays the same

    Hey! Im having an issue where photoshop changes the colors when I move the window between my monitors, seen here: http://sta.sh/04y5s60vf3j This isnt due to the monitors themselves being different, it actually changes after a few seconds of moving it inbetween the monitors. The left one has been callibrated with a spyder 3 elite which I no longer have access to. I applied the file with windows color management instead of the spyder utility. The second one is new, and it is not callibrated by anything, but instead was done by hand with the built in brightness/contrast/custom RGB settings. Both of them are very close to eachother, enough so for my tastes. but when photoshop changes what the image looks like, it's causing problems. Interestingly enough, when I disable callibration for the monitor on the left, the image does not change colors between monitors, but instead always appears as it does on the right. but then they don't match up and the whole screen looked washed out because it's uncallibrated, so that doesnt do me any good. Another interesting thing to point out, is when this image is saved as a .JPG, and viewed with firefox the image appears exactly like the monitor on the LEFT (which is my main monitor) despite the left monitor being the one that is force changed. does anyone have any suggestions? It also appears that windows photoviewer is behaving the same way, though firefox does not. Meaning when I open an image in all 3 on the left monitor, they look the same, but when opened on the right monitor, windows photo viewer and photoshop both display the image as brighter and redder than firefox does. This is frustrating, because it seems photoshop is changing the image with my callibration on my left monitor to match what it looks like on the web, which it does. but it doesn't do this for the right monitor, or when the left is uncallibrated. Another issue I can see with this is even if the UI is the same shade of gray, the images are different between the monitors because of this change. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Alright! So I reread through all this, poked at some things on the internet, and I'm going to attempt to summarize what would be a good solution for all this (And it seems, it still won't be perfect, but to get myself into the best environment I can for not messing with images for an hour trying to make them look nice before I post them to the web. I painted something yesterday on the cintiq, popped it over to my laptop screen and it just looked washed out and terrible.)
    1. Get a X-rite EODIS3 i1 Display Pro, Callibrate laptop and cintiq. I do have the money to drop on something like this, especially if it's a time saver.
         Things I'm not sure about:
              a. There was a ton of complaints about the software not working when I checked reviews, but also a ton that said everything was great. most of them were mac users though.
              b. I'm not sure if problems would still be posed, even while calibrated, by me having a wide gamut monitor.
              c. I'm a terrible excuse for a human being and I think the colors showing up brighter on the wide gamut screen is pretty (I should just make my images this bright on a normal screen and there won't be any issues. >.>)
    2. Set Firefox to color manage (easy enough)
    3. Change my photoshop working space to sRGB (since they'll have been calibrated at this point)
    3. Accept the fact that most of the people who look at my work will be doing so on a monitor that is almost certainly uncalibrated, and I can't control what they will see on my screen, but I CAN control if the colors are -actually- what I want them to be on any properly calibrated device. which is probably the best way to go anyways.
    4. Make paintings, have fun.
    Now, you two have been going on about all sorts of interesting things in here, and it seems that calibration issue run much much deeper than I ever thought. Do either of you have recommendations for how I should tweak this list of things to do or other things I can/ should do? I'm not currently a working professional, but if I have anything to say about it, I will be within a few years (I'm going to school for illustration and studying concept design on my own time) so it'd be useful for me to get into good habits now.

    If you are in Test System, you can use function module AA_AFABER_DELETE to totally delete the depreciation area (tcode SE37, specify chart of depreciation and depreciation area), After that recreate your depreciation area and run AFBN. But before you do that, have you created a retirement transaction type that limits the posting on your new depreciation area? If not create one.
    Hope this helps.

  • Notification to Manager on creation of an Urgent Change Control

    Trying to set up a notification subscription so that when someone creates an Urgent Change Control, the Manager of that person gets notified. Looking in the subscription, under Recipients not sure what to put there. Since it could be anyone that creates
    the CC, how do you direct the notification to just that persons Manager?
    I am sure it has something to do with the Template that is used and the Activity tab but not sure what. Can someone get me started in the right direction or is this even possible?

    Alternatively, If you need the line manager to approve, you might try adding a review activity to the process and setting the "Line Manager must approve" checkbox on that activity. if you have set up standard review activity notifications,
    then the manager of whoever created the request will get a notice.
    if the user only needs to be notified, then you might set the approval method on that activity to "automatic" so the notification is sent, then the RA is automatically approved and the process can continue.
     

  • Cannot set status of Urgent Change after manual transport

    Hi all,
    We are usng CHARM in Solution Manager 7.1 for import to the SAP ECC (EHP6) systems.
    I cannot set the status of the Urgent Change document (ZMHF) to status "To be Tested" after the transports were manually released and manually imported to the ECC QA system.
    When I use action "Pass Urgent Change to Test", the system stopped with error "Not all task are yet released" and will not change the status .
    Based, on the Task List log, the system started the release process although no transports were released.
    Is there any way that I can update the status of the Urgent Change document to "To be Tested"?
    I tried program CRM_SOCM_SERVICE_REPORT but still did not change the status.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Tess

    Hi Venu,
    have a look under System Administration - System Configuration -- Knowledge Management -- Configuration --Content Management -- User Interface -- Commands -- UI Command Groups -- StatemanagementGroup.
    See Java class: com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIStatemanagementGroupCommand. Take the class and decompile this and everything needed around to understand how this class works.
    Then you can choose to extend this CommandGroup to also have a command "Resubmit for Approval" or you can implement your own UI Command only for resubmitting (you will also have to activate your command (group) by settings within the configuration).
    On the other hand, if all this is completely new to you, I'm a bit sceptical if the task isn't a bit too big as a first task on KM implementation topics...?
    Hope it helps

  • The sign-in graphic changed on my macbook air for no apparent reason.  what's up?

    The sign-in graphic changed on my macbook air for no apparent reason.  What's up?  How do I get it back to my chosen graphic and why did this happen?

    When I originally set up the computer, I just chose a preloaded picture that was offered.  (For example, I chose the sunflower, but now I get an eagle--but never chose the latter).  It's not really a big deal, I was just worried that somehow my computer might have been tampered with.  The OS update may be why it changed.
    How do I change it back--if you wouldn't mind taking the time to explain something that is probably very simple to a not too computer-savvy user.  Thanks!

  • Urgent change with unlock tasklist

    Hello everyone,
    the problem occured to our customer with customizing urgent change. They want import transport request manually through tasklist, but if urgent change is in status "Authorized for Production", tasklist is still locked.
    I can release transport only through action "Import Urgent Change into Production System".
    I think it has something to do with SAP Solution Manager > Capabilities (Optional) > Change Request Management > Make Settings for Change Transaction Types.  We tried many options with action, but without success.
    Could you somebody help me.
    Best regards
    Jan Strakoš

    Hi Luigi,
    You may always use imports via task list of the project that linked to UC.
    but this is import all project buffer in que.
    What the reason of customers that they want use only task list and not actions?
    And what is the problem to use actions?
    Unlocked task list of UC will not give any benefits regarding to UC transport import or release.
    It is more easy to switch UC statuses via actions and import will be done automatically.
    Otherwise you need to go to Task list and press additional buttons that will do the same.

  • Received msg that my MacBook is already in use and name changed to "Judys-MacBook-2.local"  Why would this happen?

    When I opened my Mac I received a pop-up that "Judys MacBook" is already in use and name is now changed to "Judys-MacBook-2.local"
    Can anyone explain why this would happen and if this is serious security issue? 

    Sometimes the warning means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    Sometimes a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    A third-party wireless router that has incompatible settings or firmware may be the cause. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.
