The latest version of Migration Assistant is version 5 and should have been installed in you Utilities folder when you upgraded to version 10.8. Use the 10.8 version machine to migrate to and you should have no problems.

I want to transfer files from a functioning hard drive in a nonfunctioning MacBook Pro to an external drive. I have an IDE/SATA drive adapter. The files won't fit on the drive for a working computer I have. Can I use it to transfer files to the external?

Good luck and you are welcome.
Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.
This one is on sale for $16 http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ES2.5BPU2S/

The Setup Assistant can restore your data from a Time Machine backup. You'll be asked if you want to do this the first time you turn the computer on.

I cannot transfer files from XP to Windows Vista notebook

Hi,
I recently bought laptop with windows vista on it. My other computer has windows xp. I would like to transfer files from wndows xp to vista, when I do I am unable to open this. I also receive e mails that have excel (xls) files attached and I am unable to open them, Can anyone advise? Thanks for taking the time to read this.

How do you exactly mean: transferring files? Would you like to copy them to the machine with Vista?
And regarding the Excel (*.xls) files, you need Microsoft Excel which is in the Microsoft Office Package. That means if you have no Microsoft Office for Vista then you will need to purchase one to open and edit Excel files.

I am trying to use migration assistant to transfer files from my old mac to a new mac book pro, I have the ethernet wire, but there is no ethernet point on my new mac pro, so how else can i do it?

a

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,

Transfer files from my IMac to new MacBook without firewire?

What is the best way to transfer files from my Imac as listed to a new MacBook. I understand there is no firewire connectivity. I would like to migrate all photos, music, and settings.

I’m sure that specific instructions come with the machine, but essentially:
Use Migration Assistant do do this. You can connect the Macs with Ethernet or even Wirelessly.

How to transfer files from Del to mac pro

How do you transfer files from my old Del to my new mac book Pro? Also would it be better to ransfer the files to a external hard drive?

Thanks Alot that works with purchasing a hard drive do you know any particular good ones?
Well you only really have a choice of Seagate and Western Digital now, however if you buy Hitachi external drive, even though WD owns them, it should be the best drive of all, certainly better than Segate + Maxor.
I would like to have one wireless.
External drives are wired, but you can hook them to a router and the router acts as the wireless data transfer to the hard drive.

Can't transfer files from mini mac (10.4) to new imac

While setting up my father's new imac, the imac suggested selecting send files "to your new computer" ,or something to that effect, from the Migration Assistant in the mini. The only options on the mini were to transfer files from another computer to the mini. The mini is running system 10.4.11
Do I need to upgrade to system 10.5 before I can transfer the files?

I have a dsic for 10.5; do you think it will help if I install it? How else can I update Migration assistant?
I do not have access to a Mac with 10.4 on it to test this. However, It certainly would not hurt to upgrade the OS, and it might help.
Good luck.

I am trying to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to my iMac using migration Assstance and they cannot find one another. My MacBook Pro uses Migration Assistance 1.0.6 and my new iMac uses 10.5.3. What can I do to allow sharing?

How does one transfer Files from an old MacBook Pro to a new iMac?

10.5.3 is at least part of the problem. You need to apply the latest updates to that mac.
See How do I set up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC? Select the appropriate link and follow the instructions carefully.
