OS X Mavericks :: Migration Assistant Stuck At 1 Minute Remaining

Aug 30, 2014

I'm attempting to use the migration assistant to migrate from one MacBook Air to another. It has been stuck on "less than 1 minute remaining" for over 18 hours now. If I look at the network, there is a large amount of traffic between the two machines, all of it TCPv6 going from the migration destination to the migration source machine, port 1024.

MacBook Pro :: Migration Assistant Stuck On Starting Up?

Dec 2, 2014

I have an early 2011 15'' Macbook Pro. 

I recently purchased a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD and used Migration Assistant to transfer my HDD data to it. After installing

the SSD into my computer, I booted up and have been stuck on the following screen for about a couple of hours: 

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm afraid that if I hold the power button down for a shut down and restart, this process will start all over.

New iMac is stuck on grey apple screen after startup. It is a 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5 running OS 10.9.4.

MacBook Air :: Undo Migration With Migration Assistant?

Apr 9, 2012

I got a MacBook Air a few months ago and finally got around to migrating data from my MacBook Pro. I am seriously not happy with the results (all I really wanted was to move my iTunes and a limited few apps, and it seems that I got nothing that I wanted). I used a Time Machine backup from an external HD for the migration. Is there any way to undo the migration?

OS X Yosemite :: Why Setup Assistant And Migration Assistant Forcing To Copy Everything From Old Mac

Dec 2, 2014

I just bought a new Mac Mini (Late 2014, ships with Yosemite) to replace a defunct MacBook Pro (Late 2008, last ran 10.8.5).  I have a local administrative user account and some server and network data that I want to migrate from the latest Time Machine backup of the MacBook Pro to the Mini.  I don't want to copy anything else to the Mini.  Neither Setup Assistant nor Migration Assistant will let me deselect anything though.  All the check boxes are greyed out.  Clicking on them does not uncheck them.  This forces me to copy everything from the Time Machine backup to the Mini.  Then the Mini won't restart.   It won't even boot into safe mode.  It just gets stuck in a reboot-loop until I enter recovery mode, wipe the system drive, and reinstall Yosemite.

OS X :: Migration Assistant MacBook Pro To MacPro

Sep 29, 2009

Yesterday I did a migration assistant (MacBook Pro to MacPro)to get a music file from a friends computer and what i think happened is that I migrated his WHOLE system because now my hard drive has 4.3 GB left when before it was virtually empty because I use ext. hard drives. My question is WHERE are all these files because I dont see any new files (not even the music file that I intended on migrating) but my hard drive is filled up. And if possible, can I remove all the files at once since they all came at once?

Feb 5, 2012

I purchased a new Macbook pro( OS Lion) and used migration assistant to migrate my files form (OS Snow Leopard) this worked really well.

MacBook Air :: Migration Assistant From PC Password?

Feb 19, 2012

I just used migration assistant to bring my data from my pc laptop to my new macbook air.  It brought it over, and deposited it under a new user id.  But I can't log in as that user because it says the password expired, and doesn't recognize the password I had on my pc (awful vista). When I try to change the password on system prefs, those usernames are greyed out and can't be changed.

MacBook Pro :: Using Migration Assistant Without Screen Display

Dec 6, 2010

I just bought a new MacBook Pro because my other computer pretty much died, in that the screen can no longer be seen. The guy at the store told me it was probably a bad cable running from the computer to the monitor. Anyways, I am trying to get stuff off of my old computer with migration assistant. Right now, I cannot even see if my old computer is logged in, connected to the internet, or anything. In trying to using the network migration assistant, it prompts me to right in a set of numbers to connect with my old computer. How can I do that when I cannot see the screen? Would it work if I bought a cable to connect the two, therefore not requiring me to put in a password or numbers in my old computer?

MacBook Pro :: Migration Assistant Allow Selective Transfer?

Mar 24, 2010

I'm buying a new 13" MBP in the next couple days, and I'd like to transfer some applications and files from my current MBP but not the entire hard drive contents. I've got a lot of junk on my current laptop and would like to start with a semi-fresh machine. Does Migration Assistant allow you to pick/choose what you want to transfer onto the new machine? Alternatively, could I just drag/drop files from a TM or SuperDuper backup on an external drive (for instance, will MS Office work on the new machine after this process)?

MacBook Air :: Migration Assistant Not Completing Over Wireless From PC

Feb 29, 2012

I have a new Macbook Air and am trying to complete the Migration Assistant from a Dell XPS PC (laptop). The process will begin just fine, but says it will take 9, then10, even up to 11 hrs., etc. then doesn't wind up working even after those time frames have passed.  

I have a very fast internet connection, so I am not sure why this would be happening. Is there a way to use an ethernet cable instead of wifi? I tried connecting the two computers with an ethernet on a whim but my Mac didn't reconginze the PC, and vicea versa.  

I'd like to avoid manually bringing over my PC files if at all possible..

MacBook Pro :: Used Migration Assistant, Cannot Login With Old Password

May 10, 2012

Trying to resurrect my old MacBook Pro. Installed a fresh Snow Leopard system on it, then used Migration Assistant to get my stuff off my iMac (running Lion that I purchased from AppStore). First time, migrated from a Time Machine backup. Then, erased and installed again and migrated via Firewire directly from iMac. Problem is, both times, I get to the login/startup screen of the MacBook and it will not accept my password. Using the same password I used on the iMac. My user name and even the custom icon show up properly.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Setting Up New MacBook - Migration Assistant?

Jun 20, 2012

I've just purchased a new MacBook pro, and previously I had a windows PC so I'm new to Mac OS X, so please don't go using super technical vocab I've read through Apple's article explaining how to use the migration assistant, and it says that the mac will create a new user with the migrated data. So, do I need to make a temporary user, use the migration assistant, and then delete the original user I made first? Or could I make a user, use the assistant, and copy the data from the new user made by the assistant to the original one?

Stop Migration Assistant On A Brand New MacBook Air?

Jun 23, 2012

My wife just got a brand new MacBook Air last night.She started to set it up and ran the Migration Assistant from her old first-gen MacBook Air.Wirelessly.Suffice to say she still has 162 hours to go and it didn't improve at all overnight.What are my options for stopping the transfer safely without harming either computer and then getting the new one safely up and running?Can I just "pull the plug" (and how do I do that IBM guy here so Macs are greek to me).Will I need to restore the new machine and can I even do that when it was brand new out of the box?

Her old MacBook Air had some issues with printing, Firefox, etc.Should I do a more select file transfer from old to new to avoid transferring corrupted files?Not sure how "deep" the migration assistant goes.

If I just want to have my new machine exactly as my last one, what is the best way?

I am thinking a Cat6 cable to connect the two and use Migration Assistant on the new machine. If this is the best, does the old machine need to be in Target mode?
