My new macbook stops when trying to transfer using thunderbolt cable and Migration Assistant. Why

I Just bought a MacBook Pro and want to transfer information from my old MacBook Pro.  Using Thunderbolt cable and Migration Assistant.  My new Macbook quits as soon as I choose to start the transfer.  Tried it through a wireless connection also.  Help!  I need to transfer my data!!

Start over, restoring the OS on the new machine, and follow the steps outlined in  Pondini's Setup New Mac guide using the Setup Assistant.

  • I just got a new computer.  I tried to transfer itunes files

    I just got a new computer.  I tried to transfer all iTunes files and music to my new computer using a flash drive.   I tried to restore my iTunes Library on the new computer and have been unable to do so.  The files will not open.  The computer gives me an error that I do not have the necessary software to open the "itl" files.  It referred me to the web where there are multiple sites to choose from including the option to download the new iTunes version.  I tried to download the new version unsuccessfully & tried a couple of the "free sites" only to find out they weren't free after all.  Hoping someone out there can help me.   Thanks!  rhomey

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers.

    I am trying to import songs to my new macbook pro from my old computer using home sharing. Both computers say that home sharing is now on but neither show up in each other's library menu. I am logged on with the same apple id for both computers. and both are on a stable wireless connection

    Logging into itunes store on each machine wth different Apple IDs is OK Autorising each others machines with the other Apple ID is OK. This is completley separate from Home Sharing
    For Home Sharing to work you need to
    File > Home Sharing > Create Home Share.
    You need to select one of the two Apple IDs you are using and ENTER THIS ON BOTH MACHINES WHEN CREATING THE HOME SHARE.
    Home sharing will then work

    Sorry our primary database file structure is different from stdby, we used db_file_name_convert in the init.ora, it look like this:
    *.db_file_multiblock_read_count=16
    *.db_file_name_convert='+OT06_DATA/OT06TSG001/','+RT06_DATA/RT06/','+RECO/OT06TSG001','+RECO/RT06'
    *.db_files=2000
    *.db_name='OT06'
    *.db_recovery_file_dest='+RECO'
    Is there any thing wrong in this parameter.
    I tried this parameter before for cloning using rman backup. This din't work.
    What exactly must be done? for db_file_name_convert to work.
    Even in this case i think this is the problem its not converting the location and the logical halts.
    help me out.....
    let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks Regards
    Raghavendra rao Yella.

    Hi reega,
    Thanks for your reply, our logical stdby has '+RT06_DATA/RT06'
    and primary has '+OT06_DATA/OT06TSG001'
    so we are using db_file_name_convert init parameter but it doesn't work.
    Is there any thing particular steps hiding to use this parameter? as i tried this parameter for rman cloning it din't work, as a workaround i used rman set new name command for clonning.
    Let me know if you have any questions.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am getting this error message - Error 0x80004002 - when trying to transfer an audio book from OverDrive Media Console.  It was working a couple of weeks ago.  It keeps telling me to downloan iTune9.0.2 (or newer) but I have the most up to date version of iTunes.  Also tells me the device is not connected, but it is.

    The publisher of the book seems to have restricted copying of the book on to other devices. Contact the book distributor.

    You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
    Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
    Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
    The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
    Transfer purchases.

  • Itunes crashes when trying to transfer music

    I have been having problems with my new 160gb ipod classic and transferring songs from itunes. I have had no problems with it verifying the ipod. When I try to transfer songs it will just crash for no reason and blue screen my computer. I've just updated my computer to Windows 7 and installed itunes 9.2, my previous Windows Vista was using 9.0 and I had no problems. Is anyone else having crashing issues when trying to transfer songs? The only way I have been able to get my songs onto the Ipod is doing it 2-3 songs at a time and even then it will still crash eventually. This is taking forever to import my cds onto my boyfriends new Ipod. I have yet to try my own Ipod classic to see if that has problems as well.

    Did You try downgrading iTunes to older version ? I can see that others have had problems with new version of iTunes. If that fails, try to select playlists in iTunes to sync one by one ( manually of course ).

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
    ... I assumed that if I played the 1st track, it would continue to play the rest of the album (as iTunes does on my Macs and PCs),...
    You assumed correctly, and it should continue to play the rest of the album in order. Does this happen to all your albums. Have you tried restarting the tv.

  • TS3297 Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?!(for 1st time purchase)

    Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase)  I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!
