Can't get two IMacs to connect with Migration Asst. Help please.

Trying to get my older and tired IMac connected to a newer one via Migration Assistant.  They don't see each other and they both are on my home network.  Help please

Mike is absolutely correct, use a direct connection such as an Ethernet cable. Even better is if you have a Time Machine backup of the older machine simply connect that to your new iMac and use Migration Assistant to restore from the backup.

  • How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

    How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

    My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

  • Can't get a wireless internet connection with a F@st 3464 modem

    I'm having trouble getting access to the internet with my ArchLinux laptop and a F@st 3464 router via wireless (WEP). On the other hand, a winxp laptop and the n900 running maemo 5 have no problem to problem to get an internet connection.
    My ArchLinux laptop is configured to connect to my home wireless network:
    # /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
    wlan_eth1="eth1 essid MyWifi key s:XXXXXXXXXXX"
    eth1="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(eth1)
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    DAEMONS=(slim syslog-ng network ntpdate netfs crond cpufreq ntpd @alsa @hal @laptop-mode)
    ### END /etc/rc.conf ###
    This works fine.
    But now in this other place, there's a F@st 3464 modem/router which is giving me headaches:
    $ iwlist scanning
    lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth0 Interface doesn't support scanning.
    eth1 Scan completed :

    Any suggestions? (I guess that this must be something stupid, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to have a feeling of what's wrong).

    Try a complete power cycle, maybe the devices will refresh and 'find' each other
      Power down the PC first then the router and then the modem - wait a minute or so -- then power them back up in reverse order waiting for the correct lights to come in each device before moving on to power up the next device
       I would think this should get you connected again since you had a good connection up to yesterday
       If not check back -- something may have been corrupted and there are other procedures to try if so - myself or some one else will be glad to assist

  • Can't get 8900 WiFi to connect with Netgear WGT624 v3.1

    I can't get past W002 error.  All issues suggested on BB site are okay.
    1. WEP encryption is in use and BB sees the router okay.  The problem is it won't connect to the router.
    2. DHCP is not disabled.
    3. DHCP pool is not  exhausted.
    4. IP addresses are dynamic
    5. MAC filtering is off.
    I've gone thru the setup process a dozen times, changed passwords, etc.  The result is always the same...W002 with no explaination.  It would be nice if BB would be specific about the error and maybe one could resolve it.  Throwing out a collection of "maybes" doesn't seem to help much.
    I've search the net for anything related but can find no similar issues or resolutions.
    If anyone has an idea, I'd appreaciate the help.  
    Thx

  • How can i get my printer to connect with my computer to print?

    I have a HP photosmart prem-web C309n-s printer. I have two different computers. One is a 4 year old HP laptop, and I just recently purchased an HP touchsmart 320 PC. I installed the printer when I first got this computer, and the printing worked fine from any computer that was in the house. Now, it seems that my printer is not connected with my computer. With my dad's laptop in the house, he had before installed the printer, and when I look up the network on my printer, the only computer that it shows connection with is his. I need to print things for class, and I'm not sure how to make my desktop "visible" to my printer. Please help!!!!

  • How can I get two hard drives connected to the Airport Extreme. There's only 1 USB port.

    I believe I want to use TWO USB Hard Drives with my Airport Extreme, but it seems there is only 1 USB port.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine). But now I have decided I want a common hard drive for music, photos, etc. for the two Macs in my home to share. I read that you do that via the same port.
    What should I do? Is there a way to use 2 hard drives - a common shared and one for time machine?
    Please advise and thank you!

    Use a (powered) USB hub.
    I am currently using that USB port for my backup external hard drive (works with Time Machine).
    I hate to have to tell you this, but backing-up that way is unreliable and not supported by Apple.   See:  Using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Air Disk.

  • Can't get AE clients to connect to internet-Plz help me!

    I've had a home with router, wired mac's and pc's, and apple laptops for years with no problems. I removed old router and installed AE base station. I can connect to the Base Station via internet and wireless, but can't get past it to the net. I'm out of ideas.
    My DSL modem from Sprint is a Prestige 660ME-61, with an address of 192.168.2.1. My "test" G5 desktop has an IP address of 192.168.1.23, subnet 255.255.255.0 and Router ip of 192.168.1.254 - as shown in system pref/network/built in ethernet configuration. This works fine with old pbx/router. I tried looking at my PBX/router settings and they use different terminology.
    The AE auto setup didn't work, and I noticed it had set an ip address of 10.0.1.1 for the Base Station. I changed that to 192.168.1.x in the manual setup mode of DHCP. That generated starting and ending addresses of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.200. On the Internet Connection tab, it shows IP address of 192.168.2.2, Router address of 192.168.2.254, and the DNS address from Sprint. With these paramters, I get something like "no connection to the internet" when I try to connect.
    It seemed to me that I should set the router to be on the same 192.168.1.x addresses that DHCP is handing out, but when I try to change the Rounter Address to 192.168.1.254, I get a message saying that rounter address is not compatible with the lan address..
    I'v worked with computers and networking for a long, long time, but I am at wits end - maybe it was the chemo! I would very much appreciate some very smart person telling me which simple setting to change to make it work! And yes, the DSL modem is plugged into the WAN port on the AE. Some of you might wonder how I'm sending this. The answer is I went back to my pre-AE configuration.
    Thanks in advance!
    Randy

    Did you happen to allow enough time for a power recycle when switching the router connected to your DSL modem?
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)

  • When I go to update my apps on itunes, it says my account has been disabled. I've done everything I know to do to no avail. I've changed passwords, I've done it all about a hundred times, but I can't get to the bottom of it...HELP Please :)

    Hi,
    I am about to pull my hair out. My itunes account has been disabled............or at least that's what it says everytime I want to update my apps....I can't do it. Then it sends me to a useless web address www.apples.com/itunes/storesupport/forassistance it never helps me. I've changed my password, etc. But I can't get my apps updated or the "Apple" in the sky to fix it...I don't know where to go for customer service....Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Kathy

    I updated the software on my iphone4 tonight and ran into this same endless loop - "itunes terms & conditions have been changed" - go to itunes, aceept - back to the "T&C have been changed message" with no ability to do anything in the app store until I accepted the new terms.
    While not a very direct solution, I was able to finally accept the terms in a way that seem to register with apple by making a purchase through iTunes on my computer. This forced me through updating my payment information and updating my iTunes software to the latest edition (which I had not yet taken the time to do).  After doing both of these, iTunes took me through the terms & conditions on two separate pages, but ultimately allowed me to purchase my song.  Once I completed these steps, it fixed the problem on my phone, so now I can update my apps and download new ones without running into that loop.
    Hope this helps!!!

  • I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

    I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

    Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID?   (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Can't get into IPad 2 after latest update.  HELP, PLEASE!??

    I made the mistake of updating my IPad 2 to the latest IOS7.  Now I cannot get into it.  When I turn it on, it says 'hello' and to swipe to set up the new update.  Sometimes the swipe brings up a new screen; sometimes it just scrolls through several languages.  Sometimes it asks for my Apple ID and gets as far as "updating ICloud."  It NEVER finishes updating ICloud! 
    I cannot reach my apps or a normal looking screen.  Can someone help, please?  Is there any way to get this update to work or to UNDO the update?  I'll be grateful if you can help.......  Thank you so much!

  • Can't get two powerbooks to connect at same time

    Our Airport Snow base station is connected to our ComCast cable modem. My roommate and I cannot both get IP addresses on our powerbooks (both running 10.4.10) at the same time. If I turn off my airport then she gets an IP address and can connect. If i then turn mine on the I get a self-assigned IP address and can not connect. Conversely if she turns her airport off then I can get an IP address but she subsuquently can not. Seems the Airport base station is stingy with IP addresses. ComCast tech support is no help.
    BTW- the base station is not recognized by either powerbook with the airport admin utility.
    We are newbies to wireless and hope some can understand my question enough to help.

    I hope that someone in tech support answers this one...
    As you know from reading the "Help & Terms of Use", this is a user to user discussion area and there is no guarantee that anyone from Apple will ever read this. If you want to provide feedback to Apple, use the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback/airportextreme.html
    I am afraid this might have something to do with Apple trying to phase out the graphite base station...
    Since that base station was discontinued in November 2001 I think you are probably correct.

  • I can't get my ipad to connect with my pc or connect to itunes.

    I have checked under the universal serial bus controllers and nothing about an Apple Device is showing. Please help!!!

    Is it plugged into your box or a hub? If it's plugged into a hub, try plugging it directly into the box.
    You can also try using a different usb port, or different cable (in case the cable is bad).
    Try resetting your device by holding down the home and sleep key until it restarts.
    You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Sometimes the drivers get corrupted and that's how to fix that.
    Are you able to charge it when plugged into the wall?
