Can migration assistant resume after being cancelled

I'm using Migration Assistant to transfer data from my old MacBook Pro to my new MacBook Pro.  Each have same Mac OX 10.6.8.  I've connected them through a LinkSys router.  Migration ran for about 3 hours and 39 minutes before completion prompted that a there was a problem with the network.  I double checked all the connections and even replaced the router and the error message continued to appear.  I have no choice at this point but to cancel the migration.
Before I do, I need to know that assuming I do have a network issue and get it fixed, will I be able to resume the migration from where it left off or repeat the whole process again?
Thanks.

No, it will start from scratch. You can always uncheck items that have already migrated but this removes a whole category from the process.
I suggest you connect the two computers by Firewire cable rather than use your network. The direct connection is much faster and more reliable. You only need a suitable Firewire cable and use Target Disk Mode on the old computer - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.

  • Windows 7 64 bit won't resume after being locked

    Hello,
    My Windows 7 Pro computer will not resume after being locked.
    I use a Domain controller based on Windows server 2008 R2, and if I login with my username on any other PC, I do not have this Problem.
    When I lock it to go out for some reason, it won't resume at all. I left it on the welcome screen for an hour or so, and it didn't start.
    Do you guys have any idea what might be causing this ?
    Thank you very much for your help

    If this behavior is not exhibited on any other systems in your environment, I believe it's safe to assume the issue is with the local client.
    First things first: check that you have the latest drivers for your system. I know this seems like a canned answer, but I've seen hundreds of cases where a missing or legacy disk controller driver causes all manner of strange behavior on an otherwise healthy
    system.
    Years ago, when SSDs first starting becoming popular, I purchased a handful of them from a specific vendor. We started seeing issues with resuming from S3 sleep that confounded us for months. We found out that the vendor used a specific brand and chipset
    on their SSD controllers that wound up causing firmware faults when Windows was resumed; even to the point that we had to shut down the PC, unplug it, and let the caps drain before we could boot it again!
    We wound up replacing the drives with a more mainstream/popular brand and the issues never happened again, but the problem was hardware related. Your post reminded me of those few months of confusion.
    Check that all of your drivers are up to date, esp. disk and video, and don't rely on the Microsoft generic drivers. If you can find the drivers for your mobo/gfx cards, prefer that route.

  • HT4796 Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.

  • Migration Assistant fails after showing 157 KB or 0 KB to transfer

    I spent 4 days trying to get OS X Migration Assistant to successfully migrate between two desktop machines, both running Mavericks 10.9.3.
    The two machines were connected by an ethernet cable, and all migrations would fail after 16-24 hours, with the progress bar stalling out at "Less than one minute remaining".
    Before every failed transfer, Migration Assistant would inaccurately show "157 KB selected" for transfer if the "Computer & Network Settings" option was checked, or "0 KB selected" for transfer if only the "Applications" or "Documents & Data" options were checked.
    I finally realized that the migrations were failing because I was opening and clicking through Migration Assistant on both the source and target machines at around the same time.
    The eventual solution was to open Migration Assistant on the source machine first, and click through as far as I could until the source machine was actively looking for other machines on the network.
    As long as I waited until then to open Migration Assistant on the target machine, it would correctly calculate the size of the files to be transferred and the migration would succeed.
    So, the order in which you open Migration Assistant seems to make a big difference: source first, then target.
    My problem is solved, but only after several days of hassle, so I wanted to post this in case other people had a similar issue.
    (I tried many suggested fixes that did not work, included reinstalling OS X on the target machine, running disk repair and fixing permissions on both source and target, changing file sharing on the source machine to include the whole drive, trying to migrate Applications and Documents & Data separately, turning off wifi before the transfer, etc.)

    Thanks for posting this.  I was having the same problem.  You saved me hours, maybe days, of frustration!

  • Can Migration Assistant Copy MSIE

    My wife has an iMac that has MS Internet Explorer installed on it. She needs it to do account transfers at our bank. If I bought a MacBook Pro, would Migration Assistant be able to import a working version of MSIE from her iMac? I ask the question because Microsoft have stopped making MSIE available for Macs.
    Thank in advance,

    Hi Bud;
    I guess that is your call but there is absolute no
    reason to write a web site for a business so that it
    is browser specific. They should just be written to
    the HTML standards. If they do that then there are no
    problems. My thinking is that this is especially true
    of banks.
    I do my banking with a credit union also and i can
    use whatever browser I prefer to use. They don't make
    any restrictions on what I use.
    I am quite confident if you were too complain about
    this and present the security problems they are
    leaving themselves open to by forcing their user to
    access them via MSIE, they would listen.
    Allan
    I did tell them that everyone including IBM is telling us to use FireFox instead of MSIE but I got no response. I doubt they care much about Macs and if you have a PC, they also support Netscape.
    As I pointed out above, there is only one function that won't work with Safari.
    I've owned PC's since before IBM made them available to the general public and I've installed and used every version of MSIE including Betas since day one. I've yet to experience a virus on any of my machines.
    I currently use MSIE 7.0 Beta 2, FireFox 1.5 and Netscape 8.1. Unfortunately, none of them work on a Mac.

  • Can migration assistant move data from multiple disks (Mac Pro) to a single disk (iMac)

    I have recently purchased an iMac and need to migrate my apps, data and accounts from a Mac Pro running OSX 10.5.8.  Does Migration Assistant accommodate a multi disk set up (I have my OS and apps on one disk and data on another) or does it only recognise one 'target' disk at a time.

    yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
    OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
    i do not recall having any problems with it.

  • Can migration assistant install on two drives?

    I am purchasing a new Mac Pro to replace my G5, and would like to use Migration Assistant to move everything. However, I am also considering for the new machine a SSD drive for boot, with everything else on a hard drive. Is it possible to have Migration Assistant move just the OS and apps to one drive, and everything else to a second drive? If possible, would I be playing with fire . Thanks.

    Not easily. Both +Setup Assistant+ and the similar +Migration Assistant+ will only transfer to the volume you're running from.
    Your best bet may be to use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer your apps and most user accounts and data to the SSD (perhaps omitting some large folders).
    See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum.
    Then either move some large things to the HD, or use Time Machine to restore the things you didn't transfer there (you'd need the +*Browse ...+* option, per #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, and restore to an alternate location, per #16 there).
    Another option would be to transfer just an account and default folders to the SSD, copy the home folder to the HD, then use Time Machine to restore the other folders there.
    Once everything's there, change the account location via System Preferences > Accounts: click the padlock to make changes, enter your Admin password, then right-click the account you want to move, select +Advanced Options+ and change the +Home directory.+ Do this very carefully, of course!

  • Can Migration Assistant copy from a Time Machine volume?

    My PowerMac G5 died, and I'm replacing it with a MacBook Pro. Is it possible for the Migration Assistant to copy my files from my old system's Time Machine backup, since the machine itself doesn't work?
    Also, any complications running Migration Assistant going from a Power Mac system to an Intel-based system? (Aside from the obvious: that any Power Mac native apps won't work...)
    Thanks!

    yes, it's possible but it's actually not advisable to use Migration assistant when migrating from PPC to intel. definitely do not migrate the applications.
    also, you might consider doing a completely manual migration. see kappy's post in this thread

  • T61 resuming after being put to sleep

    Almost every time i put my comp to sleep it wakes up, sometimes immediately and sometimes after some time.
    I only put to sleep using Fn F4 because worried it will resume with lid closed.
    Any ideas on a setting I could change or maybe a program waking it up?

    Hello,
    Could there be a program running in the background which periodically checks for updated content, such as an RSS reader or anti-malware program?  If so, does disabling it before the sleep operation make any difference?

  • How can I tell if data was transferred to my MacBook Pro after the Migration Assistant process was stopped?

    I began Migration Assistant and after about 4hrs into the transfer I decided to quit. How do I find out if any data was transferred to my Macbook Pro from my Windows 7 pc?

    As long as you are behind a router, you don't need to have your firewall turned on at all, in fact it probably slows your computer and/or internet connection down a bit. The only time you need it is to either protect yourself against intrusion from others on your local network or if you hook your computer directly to a cable / DSL modem.
