  • HT4796 an error occurred while preparing your information to transfer

    Everytime I use the migration assitant I always get error occured and I have an ethernet cable connecting the 2 computers. 1 computer is a windows 7 system and the other is a mac OSX 10.8.3 so how do I transfer my files?

    Do you have file sharing turned on on the Windows machine? I'd also recommend using Pondini's Migration Assitant link.  You can find it at:

  • ThinkVantage System Update -- An error occurred while gathering user information

    I receive this message after selecting "Get New Updates" in Version 3.14.0031 of this software.  I am running Windows XP SP3 on an X200 Thinkpad.  I have tried removing and reinstalling the program without success.

    1. Version 6.0.5717.35 is for the ThinkVantage Toolbox and the version I have installed now is 6.0.5802.25.  Is there a way to use Toolbox to do a System Update?
    2. The ThinkVantage System Update I have installed is at version 3.14.0034 with a build date of 2011-4-18.  The System Update installed this version itself and is showing as the current version.
    So I seem to be up-to-date on the software but am still getting the same error message "An error occurred while gathering user information"; when the progress bar is at 9%.
    Thanks, any help on this would be appreciated.

  • HT4796 Windows Migration Assistant Errors

    I am trying to install the windows migration assistant from the apple website so I can move my files to my new mac, but I continually get a message that says it "Requires Microsoft .NET framework 3.5." But I know for a fact that I have version 4. Do you know how I can fix this?

    It won't hurt.   You can always re-load it if you find you need it again.

  • When attempting to edit a project in the PWA I receive the error: 'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again...' Project Server 2013

    Hello,
    I am hoping someone can assist with the error we are encountering when trying to edit a project from the PWA in Project Server 2013.  I can click on the project name and go to the detail page and I can
    click and see the schedule.  However, if I click on a task in the schedule and attempt to edit it, I receive the following error:
    'An error occurred while opening your project. Give us a few minutes and try again. If this happens again, contact your administrator.'
    At this point I must click cancel twice to get rid of the error pop-up message.  At this point, I am no longer able to look
    at the schedule of the project either.  Can someone assist with this issue?
    Thanks

  • Redirection error An error occurred while processing your request in provider-hosted app which is hosted in Windows Azure

    Hello,
    I developed one simple provider hosted app and I published it in my Azure website. I also published the SharePoint App of this solution in O365 site. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Premium edition. I've followed all the steps to do this work e.g.
    generate the client ID and client secret through my O365 site and updated the AppManifest.xml as well as web.config etc. In my AppWeb project, I've TokenHelper.cs and SharePoint.cs classes.
    When I'm clicking the app from my O365 site, I get the following error "An error occurred while processing your request" which is due to the following code:
     protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
                Uri redirectUrl;
                switch (SharePointContextProvider.CheckRedirectionStatus(Context, out redirectUrl))
                    case RedirectionStatus.Ok:
                        return;
                    case RedirectionStatus.ShouldRedirect:
                        Response.Redirect(redirectUrl.AbsoluteUri, endResponse: true);
                        break;
                    case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect:
                        Response.Write("An error occurred while processing your request.");
                        Response.End();
                        break;
    It's always executing the case RedirectionStatus.CanNotRedirect. Why?
    I've checked the method "CheckRedirectionStatus" of SharePointContext.cs class completely and I am not understanding why am I getting this error.
    When I browse my Azure website http://sitename.azurewebsites.net, even there I'm getting this error. I believe that error is because there is no query string parameter there e.g. SPHostURL etc.
    Please let me know why I'm having this redirection error.
    Thanks,
    Ashish

    Hi,
    For a better troubleshooting,
    I suggest you do as the following:
    Debug the code step by step to find the reason of the issue.
    For the remote debug your app from Windows Azure, you need to download Azure SDK:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
    After installing the SDK, it will have “Attach Debugger” for Azure web site, you
    also need to set "Attach Debugger" to on in the Windows Azure Management Portal
    More detailed information about how to debug provider-hosted app:

  • System Update 4 on Windows 7 64bit - An error occurred while gathering user information

    Dear all,
    I installed System Update 4 on Windows 7 64bit (X300 laptop) and keep getting "An error occurred while gathering user information" at about 9% of Searching for agent updates.
    I tried searching Google and this forum for possible solutions, but without much success. I would appreciate any help on this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    in this situation try following:
    open registry:
    HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Software\Lenovo\System Update\Preferences\UCSettings\RunTime
    check if the informations are correct.
    In case not, then correct them.
    - Try to run TVSU as Administrator (right-click on it and select Run as Administrator)
    In case this will be of no use, then just go into the install folder of TVSU and there you will see the folder called "Logs". In there you will for sure find the exact information on what went wrong. Perhaps some proxy config, or just the server was unavailable.
    Cheers

  • An error occurred while applying security information to: c:\boot, c:\bootmgr, c:\hiberfil.sys, c:\pagefile.sys, c:\program files, c:\windows

    Hi,
    I am using an administrator account to change the permission setting in the c:\ drive of my w2k8 x64 server.
    Every time I try edit a permission (read, write, read & execute..... anything), I got a whole wack of paremeter errors (this happen to all account i used):
    First, I would get the message
    An error occurred while applying security information to: c:\boot
    and I click continue, a new message would appares say
    An error occurred while applying security information to: c:\bootmgr, and so on, until c:\windows.
    I tried to turn off/on UAC but this doesn't help.
    I need your help on soving this problem.
    Thanks

    Disclaimer: You should not follow any of these instructions. They will cause you harm in every conceivable way. Don’t continue I say again … go read a book, see a movie, hit the gym, spend time with family and friends but by all means don’t read any further and certainly don’t follow any of these instructions.
    Windows 7
    Are you getting these errors?
     “an error occurred while applying security information to: “filename”
    “access is denied”
    “you currently don’t have access to this folder”
    File Folder Lock On Lock Off Icon
    Note: you may want to create a “test folder” and test these instructions so you can get familiar with them. Also if you have lots of folders, subfolders and files your computer may take awhile to make all the changes. Just sit back and relax while it crunches away ;-)
    If you are going to want access to all your folders and files start with the topmost folder as we will be making a selection that will apply the setting to all subfolders and files. Ill point this out when we get to it later. You may only want to do this to files that you use directly and not mess with system files etc. These instructions can help you with files already on your system or files that you are bringing in from an external drive or other source.
    Here we go!
    First we will be taking “ownership” of your files and folders (instructions 1-18) then we will be granting you the proper “permissions” (instructions 19-) ; these are two key principles you need to be aware of to properly manage your files. The good new is that once you make these changes they will persist and then you will be your local file guru!
    Instructions:
    TAKING OWNERSHIP (1-18):
    1) Turn on your computer and log into windows with administrator privileges. If you are the only user of your computer then chances are the normal account you log in with has these privileges. If someone else set your computer up for you they may have the administrator privileges and you should check with them.
    2) Right click on your top most folder and select properties.
    3) Select the security tab at the top.
    4) Don’t answer any questions that pop up just click the “advanced button” on the bottom right.
    5) Click the owner tab.
    6) Now click edit.
    7) Then click on “you”, that is, the account that you just logged into your computer with, also known as your “username”.
    8) Check the box “replace owner on subcontainers and objects”. I promised to point this out earlier. If you don’t check this box then any changes you make WON’T apply to the subfolders and files.
    9) Click apply.
    10) A dialog box should pop up with a message “You do not have…”
    11) you should select “yes”
    12) Another dialog box should pop up with a message “If you have just taken ownership …”
    13) Select “OK”
    14) Click “OK” again to close the “advanced security settings” screen were making changes to.
    15) The next box should now show you as the current owner
    16) Click “OK”
    17) Click “OK” again to close the properties tab
    18) We are now back at your folder listing. Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of your files! Take good care of them 
    SETTING PERMISSIONS
    19) OK, now let’s get started setting your permissions. Right click your topmost folder again and select properties.
    20) Select the security tab at the top.
    21) OPTIONAL: You will likely see a list of “group or user names” that have various permissions. You don’t need to make any changes to these. If you want to remove some then click edit, highlight a “group or user” and hit remove.
    22) If you are not already listed we need to add “you” to the list, again by “you” I mean the name of the account  that you logged into your computer with to start this session when you logged into windows, in other words your “username”. Click “add” then type JUST your username that comes up when you first log in to your computer by entering your username and password. You shouldn’t’ include any pathnames JUST the username.
    23) Click on “check names”; windows should find you.
    24) Click “OK”.
    25) Now you should be back at the “Permission/security” box
    26) Check the “full control” box under “allow”. Scroll down and you will see you can do everything now. Hey, stop obsessing …the “special permissions” tab is OK unchecked…  It is there if you were to want to fine tune. You took full control already what else do you want  You are behind the driver’s wheel my friend, enjoy!
    27) Select “apply”.
    28) Select “OK”
    29) Select “OK”
    30) OPTIONAL (THE little LOCK): did a “lock” appear. It might have if you removed all other “group or user names” back in step 21. The lock just means that YOU alone have access to these files. It is not bad in fact it is an easy way to see that the folder is unshared in every way. If you want to experiment with the “lock” try this: Right click the folder again but this time DON’T select properties instead a little higher up on the list select “share with”: see the lock by “nobody”. You aren’t sharing with anybody and so there is a lock to signify that. To experiment you can click “specific people” type “guest” click “add” then click to highlight the new “guest row” leave the “read” box checked and click “share”. You are now sharing those folders or files with “YOU” and anyone that logs onto your machine as a “Guest” and the lock has disappeared. To bring the lock back: right click the folder, click “share”, click “nobody”. LOCK ON / LOCK OFF …hey your Kung Fu is pretty good! For further experimenting with the lock try this but first a security warning: (SECURITY WARNING: changing these sharing settings may share your files with anyone going through your router/homegroup. This may compromise your security. Always protect access to your wireless router by using passwords to get onto the wireless network and also setting router passwords to prevent access to the router itself). If you set up a “homegroup” on your network and select this choice the “lock” will disappear and your files can now be shared with anyone logged into your network.
    • There could be multiple reasons for “access denied errors”. A nasty one is that the file/pathname is too long (>260 characters in Windows 7). You should start to shorten the root folder names as much as possible and bring down the longest path name to well under 260 characters (also including into that calculation the path where you will be copying the files).
    Enjoy!
