After using Migration Assistant, Network>WiFi>Preferred networks is empty on the destination Mac, but has many entries in the source. How can I migrate this list (and the associated passwords)?
Info:
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I've been having lots of problems with my network lately I had to reset it. But since then my Macbook will not remember it as a preferred network. (At least I think thats what the problem is.) When I open the lid my computer wakes up and then I get the popup message (look at picture 1) then I have to click on my network which is called linda. Then my the space to write my password is already filled (see picture 2), I have to click JOIN and only then I can go online. But I've had to do these steps at least 10 times a day for the past month and now im sick of it!

When I turn on my MacBook Pro computer (both regularly and in safe mode) searches for the Wifi and then the screen, "None of your preferred networks are available" comes-up and gets stuck. I am unable to use my track pad to get out of it, the esc key does not work, nor the control/command Q...Â

I just upgraded my iMac to 10.7.4, and now my wireless connection has started acting really strange. After a very short time of use, my iMac just becomes incapable of finding any network connections -- notice not just my own wireless station, any wireless connection in the area. If I restart it, then I'll be able to connect for a short while but then shortly after, the problem returns. It is extremely annoying. Also, I have both a Macbook Air, an iPhone and an iPad, and I'm having no problems finding my own network and other networks on those.Â

I'd like to convince my computer that every stupid network named "linksys" it stumbled across is not a known network. My computer will preferrentially connect to these worthless and slightly dubious networks before my own speedy, password-protected network. I cannot find an option in settings to remove "linksys" from trusted networks.

I have one mcbook pro running on Lion.
I am using at work a wifi connection that requires fixed ip and specific proxy.
When i go home, i am using another wifi network, so every day i have to change the advanced network settings of my mac.
Is there any way to attribute different advanced settings for each network and save it, so it will be changed automatically?

I re-installed lion on my new mini to get to Setup Assistant to transfer files from my older iMac. The transfer went well, I think. However, I cannot login. I have tried no password (the way the old iMac was set up). I have tried every password that I can think of including my Apple ID password. I did not set up any password for the new computer, but it did offer a hint for a password that it wiil not accept. How in the world did it come up with a password with out my consent? and how can I access my new computer?

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?

I acquired a new Macbook Pro laptop using 10.7.3. I have tried to use the Migration Assitant multiple times and it stops at 2 hours 7 minutes to go. Nothing ever seems to transfer. I ran disk first aid and fixed a number of permission issues. Still it hangs up. Tried to transfer files only and it seemed to run, but no files transferred.I would like to download IDVD, Aperture, Word, Excell and Powerpoint but there seems to be no way to get files to transfer?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to use Migration Assistant to move files from my wife's old PC (Windows 7) to her MacBook Pro, which uses Lion. The first connection went fairly smoothly, but we were connecting over wifi so it moved very very very slowly. Also, I had neglected to turn off Windows update and that ended up crashing the transfer. I tried to restart the transfer today (after shutting down Windows Update, Firewall, and other stuff I could think of), but now the two computers won't speak to each other. Both computers show up as being on the network.Â

I recently used migration assistant to transfer my data from my old iMac and operating system to my new iMac operating 10.7.3. The results are mess, mostly it seems from transferring 2 users over. Now I want to remove everything and start over. This time I will only transfer my account. How do I remove the mess and start over?

I know there are multiple means for migrating using migration assistant. Which is the quickest? I'm migrating from one 15" MacBook Pro to another.

I have a new MBP and I'd like to migrate some of my account from my old Mac running Leopard. When I run Migration Assistant on the MBP it can seem to find the old Mac. They are connected via ethernet and a modem/router and I am able to see and login to the old Mac via Network Folder on the MBP.Â
Is it possible to use Migration Assistant in this way. What alternatives do I have, obviously doing a TIme Machine isn't an option being Leopard on the old Mac. I could manual take Mail folde, iTunes folder r and Safari bookmarks and forget the rest but figured there's a way to get Migration Assistant to do this.
I am trying to transfer everything from a new mac mini to a new macbook pro. Both are running OSX 10.7.4 but neither can find the other computer. I have verified they are on same wireless network.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSet up my 21.5" iMac last night, set up a new user "Rory" - then downloaded Migration Assistant on my PC to transfer files, music, pics, docs and my iMac has created "Rory1" since I've discovered I should've transfered docs across BEFORE I set up an initial user!Â
The only thing I'd set up on my original "Rory" mac account was downloading Flash Player and installing my email to 'Mail' - so I've hardly done a lot of configs.Â
Can I just delete the original "Rory" profile and use the "Rory1" profile that the Mac set up? ( I realise the Mac has done this because my old Windows PC user name was obviously called "Rory" as well).Â
Or, is it easier to try and get the files (transfered from the PC under 'Rory1') to the original Mac profile of "Rory".Â
It's only 12 hours since I first went to set the my Mac up so as I said, I'm hardly in that much of a pickle yet - am I?!Â

Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion with Migration Assistant from separate disks inside my Mac Pro 1,1. It hangs systematically with "Less than a minute remaining" I have tried:
- Waiting 3 hours
- Unselecting Applications so just the user files are transferred
BUT always get the same result.What can I do to coax Migration Assistant to go all the way?

I just got my iMac today and started the migration process, and I'm wondering how you do this safely. I decided that I would rather do this process overnight so I can start using my Mac right now.

I have seen Apple Support, I have seen the tips and tricks for Migration Manager. Both computers file share and can see each other on the network, Yet here I am asking for help because none of these places have been helpful. The migration assistant can't find my computer. The new one is a Mini and the other is an iMac. Both have up to date Lion 10.7.4.

I have tried using the migration assistant. It will not go beyond my selecting a migration method - From another Mac. Nor am I able to use the system preferences file sharing options outlined on apple support. I am not permitted to select the internet sharing as instructed in step 3 (in issues with migration section)... so cannot proceed from there. Using the target option to transfer files isn't working either.

When I installed Lion to my current macbook pro I didn't relise there was a new timevault. I am unable to disable the legacy version as more disc space than I have available is required.Will I be able to start fresh WITHOUT timevault when I migrate to my new Air? Or will the legacy timevault transfer.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'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?Â
