IMac :: Unable To Use IPhoto/iTunes After Migration?
Sep 15, 2010
I got my new iMac last night and proceeded to migrate my MacBook to the iMac through the ethernet cable. Everything thing went smooth and as planned until i opened iTunes.
I open it and my music is not in there. I can click on the store and it operates properly, but when i go back to music, part of the image of the store is in the iTunes window.
ALSO, when i plugged in my iPad it didn't recognize it. it did nothing, actually.
iPhoto opened normally and appeared to be okay, until i started to click on the thumbnails, and it opened up a black screen.
this is happening for almost every photo in iPhoto except for two that happen to be recent ones and located on the desktop.
seems to me that iphoto is having trouble locating the original files, but i have no idea how to tell it where they are.
i should say that all the files (photos, music, movies, apps, iphone and ipda backups) are on the iMac. it seems like everything is there, but these two programs can't seem to locate the files.

I'm migrating from iPhoto '09 to Aperture 3 and noticed it doesn't import learned faces! I have over 130 learned faces in iPhoto and DO NOT want to have to manually re teach Aperture who everyone is. Why didn't they set it up to migrate the faces library as well?

Just got a new Mac Pro and used migration assistant... it didn't seem to go as smoothly as i remember it did last time...
My iphoto and itunes libraries did not copy over. I put my old computer in target disk mode but i can't even open the music folder or the photo folder in the user of my old mac. When i try, it tells me that "The folder "Music" can't be opened because you don't have th permission to see its contents"...
... and so i go to info and try to change the permissions to read/write, but nothing changes...
how do i get into these folders to i can copy them?

My Imac G5 stopped working. Bad power supply or logic board. I took out the hard drive put it in an enclosure and ordered a new Mac Mini.
When the mini arrived I used the migration assistant to move everything over. Here are some issues:
1) Microsoft Office is there but the applications will not start up. I get a pop up that says that "this application will not work on this type of mac".
The Icons are also greyed out with a stripe through them.
2) I Work '08. Same as above.
I did check to see if there were any trial versions of this software on the mini and there is not.
I've also tried to look into the Old Hard Drive and see if any files were not moved over.
When I access the old drive it will not let me get into certain folders because it says I do not have permission. They have little red yeild signs beside them.

When i click on the iphoto icon in the dock it will not open for me to view or add any photos. The machine is an imac G4 OSX 10.2.8 with the original 125 ghz processor & 256mb memory. I have never had this problem before. It was purchased in 2003.

I recently used Migration Assistant to bring user data/documents from my iBook G3/10.3.9/iPhoto 2.0, to my iBook G4/10.4.11/iPhoto 7.1
Upon launching iPhoto 7.1 with the recently migrated photos, the app spent some time updating and (I assume) reorganizing the photos ...and then it crashed.
The application crashes every time I attempt to load it. I've since deleted all the old photos (they are backed up on the old computer), deleted every associated pref I could find, to no avail. note, iPhoto opens no problem with my other user account.
I would simply reinstall, but, of course, my iLife cd is inaccessible at the moment (deep, deep storage).

The selection of music from iTunes Music Library, is not working in iPhoto Slideshow, in my Mac Book Air. However, it works nicely in my main IMac.
The Slideshow at the Mac Book Air works only with the pre existent sources "Sample Music" and "Theme Music". The remaining library is visible on the sourcing list, but when I select any musics, they do not pop up in the window below.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

After opening Mac HD folder, made the mistake of attempting to change name next to house icon (Home? perhaps) along left spine (spine that includes 'Desktop' 'Documents' 'Applications' etc.). The computer started to run as if adjusting to the name change. From that point on, iphoto/tunes/aperture starting opening as if it was the first time asking for set-up preferences.
No photos/music can be found in the folders. I can still see my folders on the external hard drive that the tunes/photo are on, but they will not open when I open the programs. Any suggestions on fixing the links? I tried in vain to change the name back. The error message says that the previous name is already taken.

I am however able to open iTunes but when I plug my iPod in computer then freezes.

I already have the iMac up and running and would like to bring my eMac libraries over to the new iMac. Is the easiest way to this is drag and drop files on the iMac from the eMac using firewire? How do I mount the eMac as an external drive? I bought a new ibook in the the past, but never transfered my 25,000+ picture iPhoto or 3,000+ iTunes libraries to it (saved space). Also, I assume all I have to do for the copy protected aac files I have downloaded on the eMac is to add my log in to the iTunes on the iMac?

Ive just got a Macbook Pro, late 2008 model, and i'm running into some difficulties transferring my settings/programs/files etc from my old macbook (purchased 2006).
Both are now running the latest version of migration assistant, and i've tried both ethernet and airport connectivity (I dont have a firewire cable).
Regardless of which method i use, both laptops just stay at the 'looking for other computers' phase. Ive had a quick google/search and cant find a solution, anyone help?
I use bootcamp if that makes a difference?

I have an iMac that is rapidly filling up. I would like to move my iTunes and iPhoto library to my external harddrive (I currently use for Time Machine). Is this possible or even adviseable? If I were to do this, what would I need to do. Is it as simple as moving the folders that hold these files on to the external. Would the programs find them.

What I can tell you is that a month ago, all appeared fine, and I was using Logic, then when I went to open MAIL I got a crash and ever since then, nothing has worked.
I have had Western Digital send me not one but two new hard drives as the first was DOA.
I tried Disk Warrior, Drive Genius 3 as well as Tech Tool 5 and not one can help. In fact, the closest I got was when I ran a /bsin/fkck -fy (or something like that), and it said minor problem, and fixed the issue or so I thought, got a blue screen for about 5 seconds, then it went to GREY again.
I have tried disconnecting all the peripherals, mouse, keyboard (external for a macbook pro) and same thing. I then tried SAFE boot, same thing.Verbose, yup same thing.
So now I do a fresh install and MIGRATION hangs at less than one minute left forever,I then did a new install then ran MA.
I made sure to use a different name then the one I wanted to import, updated from 10.5 to 10.5.8, then performed a migration assistant and kept getting a NEW HANGING where I would then get a message, something is wrong with your network, and the HD space never got smaller.
Continue or Cancel, those were my options.
There doesn't seem to be a way around this and I know it's something small like a silly display thing (example) as I have a 24: HDMI 1080P attached, but detached it when trying to boot.
Does anyone have an anwser for the GREY screen or the hanging migration both at the FRESH INSTALL LEVEL to the no MIGRATION, create dummy admin account, then it hanged at NETWORK ERROR.
Advice and better yet, a solution would be wonderful.
Like I said, all was fine until I launched mail and then that is when the problems started.

I just used Migration Assistant to move my files from my iMac to my new Macbook Pro. I didn't know about the Filevault problem so when I tried logging in, I got the error message and I am unable to login to my account (the only one on the computer). The support page says to make a root user, but how can I do that when I can't even log in to my account. I dont have a disc copy of Lion I can use to start up with, only a copy of 10.6.

I have experienced a problem after I updated to SL last night.I made a fresh install of both SL and iLife 09 on my mbp unibody late 2008.
Afterwards, I replaced the my fresh iphoto library simply with my old iphoto 09library from time machine (no migration tool, only copy pasts).
But now I recognized a problem that I see no iphoto library in my Desktop and Screensaver Menu in control panel. I cant set iphoto library photos as screensaver cause I cant see them
Does anyone have a solution for it? or does anybody face the same issue?

I have an iMac, iPhone 4 and new iPad all associated with my one and sole Apple ID and all authorised to share the same itunes library (stored on the iMac) when they're in range of my home wifi. I also have automatic downloads set up for music only. Home sharing works fine.
When I download music from itunes on the iMac it appears on the iPhone and the iPad as well. So far, so good. When I download music from itunes on the iPhone it appears on the iMac as well but NOT the iPad.When I download music from itunes on the iPad it appears on the iPhone but NOT the iMac. When I try and use the itunes "download purchases" facility to add it to my iTunes library on the iMac, I get an error message saying the iMac is already associated with an ID and I can't associate it with another one for another 32 days. But I thought I only had the one ID?
Everything is running the most up to date software. It was all bought brand new, either direct from Apple or obtained boxed and sealed from a major retailer. I've only ever had the one ID.
Info:iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)

I ask this question as a new Apple user with a pretty rocky start. I'm on my second defective iMac (yellow tint, stuck pixel, smell, etc). Because of 2 defective iMacs in a row and another replacement in the near future, I now need to learn about how to transfer settings/data from one Apple to another most efficiently--if at all. I previously understood it would be best to simply not use Migration Assistant on a new iMac, even though as a new Apple user I really have little data history to transfer over. So with my next replacement, and hopefully the last, I would start from scratch with new application installs, OS settings, documents, etc. The logic as explained to me is that migrating would transfer over files I would not want on the new iMac. However, when I spoke to Applecare over the phone tonight, I was told that while I could Migrate, I should instead Restore all my settings/data from a Time Machine backup from this defective iMac to the new one. As I understand it from how he explained it: with Migration you will simply transfer your old data/settings on top of what exists on the new iMac, but with a Restore the new iMac will wipe out whatever is on it (is there anything to wipe out on a new iMac?) and then transfer your old data/settings. Is my understanding of those 2 terms, Migration and Restore, correct? And is Restoring the preferable thing to do in that it doesn't (or shouldn't?) bring over any unnecessary files into the new iMac and saves a great deal of time or should I still start completely from scratch?

I've just taken receipt of a brand new iMac with 2 drives, the SSD and the Standard HD. My understanding was that the os would split applications to one and user docs to another. But following a migration in using migration assistant everything is stored on the SSD.Will the os begin to relocate things intelligently - as the press releases had me believe? Or should I redo the installation and set up a new user and copy and paste all the docs I need one by one to the right destination?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), SSD and HD

I just got a new 21.5 inch imac a few days ago and I used migration assistant to move everything from my macbook. It displays .avi files that are really 350 mb as 366 mb. Why is this happening ? and even when I download new ones that are 350 mb they show up as 366 mb. Before I used the migration assistant I used this plug in for quicktime called Perian on it when it was brand new, but I think its erased now cuz I transferred all my data.
