Does Migration Assistant move native apps like App Store, iTunes etc to a new MBP?

I want to replace my current 2010 13" MBP running Lion with a new 13" MBP 2.9 GHz (not Retina) running either Lion or Mountain Lion.  I want to make sure that Migration Assistant does not move the (recently) very buggy native apps on my current machine (App Store, iTunes, iPhoto) to the new machine.

  • Does migration assistant move files or copy them?

    I'm running Yosemite on a separate partition. I want to copy some of my information from 10.6.8, but I want to leave 10.6.8 intact, as it is still (and will remain for quite some time) my primary operating system. Does migration assistant move the information, or copy it?

    It will copy info and won't delete anything from the originating drive. If you are just looking to copy some files, log back into the 10.6.8 and copy them to the user desktop account of the other drive.
    If you are looking to migrate a user account, be aware that the account name will need to be different than the one you are currently using in Yosemite.

  • Does Migration Assistant move Mailbox (mail.app) IMAP data?

    Recently I used migration assistant to move a user from a Lion machine to a Mavericks machine. I couldn't get it to work via direct ethernet (famous "1 minute remaining" bug) [1] so I migrated from a Time Capsule backup.
    After migration the User's mailbox was initially empty, though the smart folder and standard folder configuration was as expected (Gmail IMAP setup).
    Overnight the Mailbox refilled -- but Activity Windows suggested it was pulling data from Google, not from a local store.
    It's as though Migration Assistant excluded the IMAP data [2], expecting it to be reloaded from source. (In this case it might have worked, but risky for several reasons). One expert I know says this is in fact how MA is supposed to work -- but neither of us could find ANY documentation.
    Does anyone know if this is correct? Even better -- have you seen any documentation?
    Thanks!
    john
    [1] In retrospect the source machine was configured for automatic logout and it's possible that the logout attempts confounded MA.
    [2] Time Machine's standard exclusion plist suggests IMAP data IS backed up.

  • HT4413 Does Migration Assistant work on Adobe CS6 apps?

    Just bought a new macbook pro with retina display. Really need to know if I can migrate my design apps from my old macbook pro to my new one.

    You can migrate all or none of your apps. There is no way to only select your design apps.
    Note, if you plan on using your same User name on both Macs, you should use Setup Assistant when you first startup your new Mac, instead of Migration Assistant.
    Aslo note: Adobe CS6 apps can only be activated on one Mac at a time.

  • 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.

    This isn't an issue. Notice the screen prior to the one that shows usage has an iCloud section and a Manage Storage button. For this button to activate ios needs to download a few kb from icloud. Switching back to this screen forces ios to download those few kb.

  • Does Migration Assistant Have "Drive Options"?

    We're planning on acquiring a new iMac this upcoming week, one the has both the 256 GB SSD and the 2 TB HD.
    We want to use Migration Assistant in association with our current iMac which only has a 1 TB drive.
    Question: does Migration Assistant offer the user choices of where the files from the old iMac are migrated to on the new iMac?
    More specifically, we want to put the applications on the 256 GB SSD and all other files on the 2 TB internal HD.
    Will Migration Assistant allows us to do this?

  • My ipod touch 4g is missing alot of important apps like settings, music, itunes store, app store and many more and i was wondering if there is any way at all to fix this for free or less than 70 dollars

    My ipod touch 4g is missing alot of important apps like settings, music, itunes store, app store and many more and i was wondering if there is any way at all to fix this for free or less than 70 dollars

    First try using Spotlight Search to find Settings.  If that works go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Settings.  If you can't get to Settings:
    Try a reset:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work do a restore from backup or to factory settings:

  • I just bought an iphone4 and is connected to my wifi at home but I can't bring anything up in the app store, itunes, etc. My husband has a droid 2 and he has no problems with the wifi? Any ideas?

    I just bought an iphone4 and is connected to my wifi at home but I can't bring anything up in the app store, itunes, etc. My husband has a droid 2 and he has no problems with the wifi? Any ideas?

    If you look at the top left of your screen you will either see a 3G (or 4G if you have AT&T) or you will see the wi-fi symbol.  If you don't see the wi-fi symbol you are connecting to Gmail through your cellular data plan, not via wi-fi.
    To answer your question, it doesn't happen often but when it does the steps I mentioned above will normally resolve it.  Hopefully you won't have any further problem with this.

  • Does Migration Assistant Overstate disc space apps take up?

    I purchased an SSD to install Lion on in my Mac pro early 2008.
    Having looked at the size of the applications file in Finder it showed 24.7GB's
    I purchased a 60GB Vertex2 SSD thinking it would have plenty of space as my User folder would remain on the ordinary disc.
    When I use Migration Assistant in Lion it shows the Applications to transfer is over 70GB and so would fill the SSD.
    Can anybody help and suggest best course of action?
    Is finder right or the Migration Assistant. Is there another way to get the apps across without having to install them all again individually?

    Can the Migration Assistant work with just the hard drive (connected via usb in an enclosure)
    No, you must install Windows Migration Assistant on the PC and connect it to your network (or Mac).
    If I need a running machine, is there any work around
    Yup.
    See the Manually Migrating section towards the bottom of Switch 101: Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac.

  • Migration assistant has doubled up my apps on launchpad

    I used the migration assistant the other day to move from my old macbook to my new macbook pro, however the launchpad now has 2 of all the standard apps on. How do I fix this and delete the doubled up apps?

  • HT4889 Am I wrong or does Migration Assistant not work in Mountain Lion (10.8.2) when migrating from a PowerPC running Tiger (10.4.11)? Apple really needs to get on the ball or face losing people buying their new desktop products.

    The title alone speaks to my frustration about this issue.
    Used the process that was recommended by Apple to migrate from my "Lampshade" iMac (PPC running 10.4.11) to the new iMac (Intel running 10.8.2) and I got bupkiss...
    Just a spinning wheel (not beachball) and no drive recognized using Migration Assistant for both nor when using Target Mode on the iMac running 10.4.11 and Migration Assistant on the iMac running 10.8.2. Which is ironic, or more accurately oxymoronic, since the iMac in Target Mode (10.4.11) is recognized on the desktop of the iMac running 10.8.2 but not in the Migration Assistant. And before you can misdiagnose..it is not the Thunderbolt connection since I have the Apple recommended Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter and also used the Firewire 400 to 800 cable to expedite the transfer.
    On a personal note...
    I'm not bashing Apple for this...they are "head and shoulders" above the competition in what they do but I've been burned a few times so I feel I can share a small bit of loyal customer advice...I understand your iOS and mobile products hold huge sway in company focus and market-share but I find it a tad unwise to slack on the desktop applications. I don't recall any app for the iPhone/iPad family being made on the iPhone/iPad...only from desktop applications if I recall correctly. And how can I clearly "Move my Mac even further ahead"  as your marketing states when I can't even migrate my files from my old Mac to my new one in a simple fashion as per your instructions?
    I thank anyone in advance with an answer or even a workaround for this issue and please have a great day.

    Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger to OS X Lion
    Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 computers to OS X Lion over your Wi-Fi or a wired network is not supported. However, if both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port, you can use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data:
    Verify that both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port. Note that different model Macs may have different FireWire connectors, which will require an appropriate cable, such as FireWire 400 to FireWire 800.
    On the Mac you want to transfer data from, Restart, and immediately hold the T key.
    Wait for the FireWire logo to appear on the screen.  If it does not, restart and try again.
    Connect both Macs via the FireWire cable.
    On the Mac you want to transfer data to, Open the Migration Assistant application.
    Select the option "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" and click Continue.
    Select the option "From a Time Machine backup or other disk" and click Continue.
    Select your other Mac's volume, such as "Macintosh HD", from the list, and click Cont
    EDIT: Actually I realize you did follow these directions and if your drive is seen on the new Mac it should work. You're entitled to free Apple support with the new purchase, I'd give them a call.
