How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from osx lion to osx snow leopard
I have MacBook with osx Lion and I need transfer my user acount to another mac computer (Mac mini) because my MacBook was broke and I send it to service. On Mac mini I have osx Snow Leopard. Is possible to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from osx Lion to osx Snow Leopard?
Sorry, but there's no way to "go back" with Migration Assistant.
Can you upgrade the Mini?

I used migration assistant to transfer files from my old compaq to Macbook pro but I don't know where to find all my pictures and music in the MBP. Where do they go?
I have now migrated my stuff again - I think the problem is that I clicked skip this user on previous attempts. Now I have 4 different users, one has my photos, one has my music and another has my documents as well as the one that is my usual one. I just need to figure out how to get the pics and music into the one I'm using day-to-day and I'll be sorted.

You can do it wirelessly, but that will take some time... you could also purchase a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter or a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter. That would certainly be faster. You should be able to purchase either adapter at your local Apple Store or at the online Apple Store.
Good luck,

i use migrate assistant to move files from my old pc to the new Mac , but it creates the user account. How can i delete the unwanted user account.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
That's the classic behaviour after using Migration Assistant and that's normal.
To transfer the data from the new user account to your old user account, you can follow some steps. Here is all the information you need to do this > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5472 -
I have a windows formatted external hard drive and a macbook pro. I was wondering if i could use the windows migration assistant to transfer files from my external hard drive to the mac
No.
Just connect the drive to your Mac. The Mac can read most Windows formats (it cannot WRITE Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) formatted drives. -

Having problems using the Migration assistant on a new imac with OS10.9.2 to transfer files from an old imac with OS 10.6.8.
The Migration Assistant can transfer files from a computer running Mac OS X 10.1 or newer, but shouldn't be used to migrate applications from a PowerPC Mac to an Intel Mac.

When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?
I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
Hope it all works out for you. -

I am sorry tell you, this blog is not enough to for me.It's not a blog, it's Chris' website where you download the package from. Once you download the package and unrar it, then the package spec gives instructions (and I think there's instructions on how to install it too).
Kindly let me know if there is any oracle documentation for this .It's not an Oracle created package, it was created by Chris. It's based around the UTL_TCP package if you really want to get into the nitty gritty of how it works, but I don't think you do. -
I'm trying to use migration assistant to transfer applications from my newer imac to an older macbook (10.5.8). I keep getting an error message "application quit unexpectedly" as I'm waiting to select the items to migrate. I've tried using a firewire cable as well as just a network connection.
Thank you.Here is some information:

It mentions that migration is not supported with 10.4; now you said you have 10.5 - it may be the same problem. Besides, migration assistant will recognize an older system and move apps etc. over to a newer system - I'm not sure it will do the same thing in reverse.
And, there are a couple more problems: one is that your newer versions may not be backwards compatible with the old 10.5 and the second is that is you are trying to copy apps so you can use them on both, it most likely violates the SLA (unless you purchased them on MAS).
So, if none of those two apply, I'd simply try target disk mode (without the assistant) and drag over the apps. -
I just purchased my new macbook pro yesterday and I used the Migrations Assistant to move files from my old mac to this one. Everything seems to be in working order EXCEPT iTunes. every time I try and open it a message appears telling me to download it and a second window also comes up saying error (-42408) occurred. I have tried to download iTunes7 and even plug my iPhone is but nothing has worked. Help!
