What to watch for in Lion (migrating settings etc)

hi all.
i have update the desktop and the laptop to Lion and noticed that the screen background did not migrate on the desktop, that i had to fix the scroll wheel direction and the i am was missing my Transmit Application for some reason (I re-downloaded it and now just have to find the serial number).
is it possible there is a list of things that i need to manually fix or otherwise watch out for? i mean, i would be interested in reading up on this so that i am not catching things over the next week or finding out about something on a deadline.
also, is there a way to find out what the specifics are of the error message that said that some of my software did not migrate? is saw it both times but seem to have skipped over it.
TIA for any help.
Jon

That is true, you also want one that is not locked to AT&T so you can switch to the Greek carrier.

What to watch for when switching to Leopard?

I just ordered a new Macbook Pro and it will come preinstalled with Leopard. What software can I expect not to work? I believe there is no classic support so my OS 9 apps are out, But with my backed-up stuff from tiger should I expect a smooth migration? I really dont feel like ugprading alot of software just after spending what I did for the MBP. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you connecting to the internet wirelessly? If so I would be interested to hear how it goes for you with a brand new macBook and 10.5. If you hadn't noticed (from these usergroups), 10.5, (10.5.2 in particular) is playing havoc on formerly bulletproof wireless systems.
Regarding apps. Photoshop CS 3 and Golive are the two main apps I use and I haven't noticed any difference with Photoshop, it supposedly fixed an issue with Photoshop under 10.4 regarding measurment units but I never had the problem in the first place so I can't say if it fixed it. Time machine is the big selling point IMHO as I now know my stuff is properly backed up all the time.
Apart from time machine (big plus) and the wireless problems (huge minus) its really not a huge upgrade for us non geeks. I was quite happy with 10.4 and would have stayed with it had I known what 10.5.2 was going to do to my MacBooks wireless capability.

Buying used iPhone 4s what to watch for?

I'm going to purchase a used iPhone 4s from a stranger. What do I need to watch out for?

Another poster, about 3 weeks ago, reported that his new iPhone purchased from a strneger was disabled by ATT as "stolen". This odd individual insisted right up until he stopped responding in his own post that the seller had reported it stolen to make an insurance claim and *SURELY* the seller had not himself stolen it. In the fiasco, he put the sim card of the stolen phone phone into his old phone and that one got bricked/locked because of the sim-card relation.
Seems not all sellers are offering legit/legal product.
One way to weed out the bad ones is to make a condition of sale be that the exchange is done at an Apple store to allow Genius Bar to verify stolen/no and good condition. Legitimate selllers will not balk at that inconvenience of verification before they get your money.

What is the best way to migrate settings/apps/files from late 2008 MBP to new 2012 MBA?

I have the 2008 MBP backed up via TM to an external HD that is FW800, but is USB 2.0 capable. I was hoping the TB/FW adapter would come out from Apple soon, and maybe it will. Bottom line, my new MBA arrives next week, and I'm not sure when the TB/FW adapter will hit the stores. Can I use USB 2.0 to link the HD to my new MBA or will it be too slow to conduct the migration? I have about 110GB on the MBP HD and the new MBA is the i7/8G/256GB model. so no worries there.

The firewire adapter is due for release in "July" according to the specs. You can make due with your TM backup on USB 2.0. It's slower than firewire but should complete within 2 hours.

Creating Images for Web, question about settings, etc.

Okay before someone tells me "use the search function or google", let me say this...i already have.
I am looking for a guide or anything to ALL settings and recommendations for photoshop cs4.
I find different examples and such but nothing that is "great" and exactly what I need.
When creating a new file that will be used for the web. Logo, site graphics, etc. what are the best
settings when creating a new document? recommended settings for anything from the resolution, color mode
to the "pixel aspect ration" under advanced.
Basically I just need to do this part my self, i am pretty familiar with photoshop but just never took the time to actually know 100% of the best
settings that i should use.
I just want to be able to create the high quality images i can for my website,
I use .png for the most part {because i need transparency for several items}.
but I notice that alot of times it has that little bit of blurryness to it, i tried messing with the resolution, i tried resize, i tried alot of things.
my BIGGEST frustration and what ultimately led me to come to these forums was the use of the font, no matter what , my font always always always looks a bit blurry. what can i do to take this effect of blurryness away?
any and all help is appreciate and i give a thanks in advance!

The best setting for the issues you describe is to work on your art in Photoshop at a 100% view and to place in a web page at 100%. Do not try to scale the images with HTML/CSS.

Preparing for Mountain Lion - what folders and files should be saved?

Hi gang,
Although some of you make think this is obvious, it really is not. In preparation for Mountain Lion, I curious what folders and files (other than the obvious) should I move off to another drive? I'm going to do a clean install this time around. I'll probably do an upgrade first to understand any gotcha's when I upgrade my wife's MBP later, then do a clean install.
I'm going to move the documents, my Aperture and iPhoto libraries, but I'm unsure about the iTunes folder and my movies and such. Most of my software has come from the App Store, so I don't need to worry aobut those, and the few other programs I have the software for (iWork, iLife, but we'll probably need new versions of those.
I just preparing a list to make sure that I get everthing.
Thanks, Mark

When doing a clean install OS upgrade I like to swap out the time machine drive, storing/retiring the old time machine as a backup of the old system while keeping it's Time Machine history.
So personally what I do is:
#1 clone my boot drive to an external (at this point I have two backups Time Machine + a clone)
#2 wipe the boot drive and install new OS on it (at this point I still have two copies of my data TM + clone)
#3 verifiy the old time machine is accessible from the new boot drive (sometimes due to ownership/permissions/filevault this is a problem so check even if migrating from clone)
#4 selectively migrate files from clone or TM to new install
#5 Start a new time machine of the new OS drive (sometimes I'll wipe the clone at this point and use it, prefering to keep the old TM as a archived backup)
One note, I've burned myself at least once forgetting that I'd excluded some parts of my old drive from Time Machine drive (usually Podcasts, Movies), so pay attention to that before relying on it.

What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion?

What are the real minimum requirements for Mountain Lion. Currently running Snow Leopard. I have a late 2006 Model: iMac6,1. Specs: 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo, 3 GB 667 MHz DDR2, and the optional nVidia GeForce 7600GT c/w 256MB GDDR2. The advertisement is stating a 2007 model as the minumum, however the fastest 2006 Gen Plastic iMac should be faster then the slowest 2007 Gen Aluminum iMac7,1?

From a previous posting from some else, I saw it was the 32bit versus 64bit video card driver being the issue. I was wondering if the optional video card I have installed also was limited to the 32bit issue. 64bit drivers exist for the 7600 GT GPU.

What are the best practices to migrate VPN users for Inter forest mgration?

It depends on a various factors. There is no "generic" solution or best practice recommendation. Which migration tool are you planning to use?
Quest (QMM) has a VPN migration solution/tool.
ADMT - you can develop your own service based solution if required. I believe it was mentioned in my blog post.

I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund?

I have installed mountain lion on my early 2009 macbook (not unibody) and it is terrible, it's like owning a windows pc again (almost) What can I do? I paid for mountain lion, is there any way of giving it back and getting a refund? obvisoulsy after unintalling it. I couldn't see any reason why it would be bad for my particular macbook, and it downloaded without a problem.

In what way is it terrible? Mountain Lion is pretty stable. If you are having problems, most likely they are unique to your particular system and can be fixed. If you don't like some of the new features, that does not constitute reason for a refund.
If that does not suit you, you will have to discuss a refund with Apple, as they are the only ones who can say. Note that the App Store terms do say that all sales are final, so you are not guaranteed a refund, especially since whatever problems you had are not due to defective software.

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

What cable do I need for a full migration from a 2011 MacBook Pro to a new current one-wireless migration way too slow.?

All you need is an Ethernet cable.
Just plug it into both machines. Don't bother with a crossover cable, just a plain old Ethernet cable will do. The Ethernet ports on the Macs are smart and will adjust appropriately.
