Hi,
can you try to disable user account control and your firewall and anti virus. They usually prevent the download.

Migration Assistant stuck at 5 minutes remaining

I just purchased a mac mini.
I'm trying to transfer my data over via an external hard drive formatted as a time machine back up.
My old computer is an iMac running Lion 10.7.5.
Brand new Mac mini running latest Yosemite.
Tried to use the migration assistant three times and everytime after about two hours it gets stuck for another two hours on five minutes remaining. I'm transferring about 200 gigs.
I've called apple care and have tried to no avail to reinstall the OS after resetting the Mac mini to factory settings.
Any help appreciated.

The time remaining counter in Migration Assistant is wrong. Just let it sit. See Migration Assistant won't finish

I replaced my hard drive and am installing the OS 10.5.6 that i got from Apple. It is stuck with 7 minutes remaining. Help! this is the first time I've ever done this.

I just replaced my hard drive in my 13" Macbook. I got the OS install disk from Apple but it's stuck with 7 minutes remaining. What do I do now? I let it check the disk before the install.

Did you properly prep your new drive first?
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the OS X installation.
I think you should shutdown the installer then erase the drive per the above and start again.

Migration Assistant 'Less than 1 minute remaining' Solution

Hi all..
I have been reading the problems people have been having regarding Migration Assistant and the dreaded 'Less Than 1 Minute Remaining' screen than never goes away and I found a solution for it so you don't have to go through all that!
I recently upgraded my 24" Late 2008 iMac to a new 27" iMac and wanted to bring all my files over to the new machine as most of it is photos and Final Cut Pro plus related editing software!
I did the whole connecting both macs up on the same network and even connected the ethernet cable for faster transfer but after hours of showing promise, it hung up on 1 minute to go. After leaving it for 4 hours, I gave up but here is the best way to do a hassle free transfer.
Back up all the files on your old machine to a hard drive in Time Machine form. I had 320 gigs to do so it may take 4 hours or so to do the back up.
when this is done, disconnect the drive from the old machine. On the new machine, connect the hard drive, open Migration assistant in Utilities and select BACK UP FROM TIME MACHINE!
Mine took about 1 hr 40 mins to complete and it works like a dream.
Sincerely hope this helps people

Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly to restart. Test. If the migration wasn't successful, see below.
1. Migration may stall with "Sharing Only" user accounts
2. Back up the old system with Time Machine or Disk Utility and try migrating from the backup.

Adobe Download Assistant- Stuck at login?

I downloaded Adobe Download Assitant today, finally having gotten it to download. However, after opening and attempting to login, I realized something: I was stuck on this screen! What is this, why is it stuck like this, and how do I make it go past this?

Does it give you any specific error message?
Are you behind a Firewall that might be preventing the Download Assistant to communicate with Adobe.com?
Please also have a look at: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-download-assistant.html. This document lists some common errors and resolutions.

Migration assistant stops at 14 minutes remaining of "files to support applications"

Trying to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from my MacBook Pro to a new Mac Mini. Migration stops in the segment "Transferring files to support applications" with "About 14 minutes remaining." Then it stopped and sat there for almost 20 hours.
Believing that there was something wrong... I stopped the process and restarted it. Two hours later I was at the same point. It's now been 3 more hours and I still have "About 14 minutes remaining" again. Any ideas what I might try?

Followup t this. I've read several posts recommending using Firewire instead of Ethernet/WiFi. My mid 2008 laptop is running Mountain Lion, using migration asst. Mini end is a brand new I7 Quad core running (presumably) Mountain Lion, At this point no joy using either Ethernet or Wifi. But there is no option for anything else. The setup assistant on the Mini insists on either Ethernet or WiFi. No other options are presented.
I've tried this like 6 times now and I make it to between 11-14 minutes of completion before it hangs. I'm going to have to do some stuff to generate a Time Machine BU I guess and try that...

Adobe Download Assistant stuck on "Extracting"

Yesterday I tried to download the Creative Suite Master Collection trial for school, I have a key gen license from my school to enter once the trial product is downloaded. Im using a mac book pro Lion 10.7.2. It took a few hours to download and then it said "Extracting....this may take a while", I let it be all night and it still has done nothing. it wont let me pause or restart the download. i have tried shutting down my computer and quiting out of everything. But everytime the download assistant opens it pops up with an error 105 and says the download is already in the queue. I dont know how to delete it from the queue or get it to restart. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

The solution provided by Preran in message #1 should allow you to cancel the download. If you continue to experience difficulties then you can initiate a direct download by following the steps listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/installation-launch-log-errors-creative.html.

Adobe download assistant - stuck!

trying to download the photoshop cs5 trial and need to (of course) download the adobe download assistant first, however, its downloading fine but once it has been opened and the loading bar has came up as if it has been installs, nothing happens after that. it doesnt seem to install anywhere or open up so i can continue with the trial download.
i have previously downloaded it on the same model of mac and had no problems.
any suggestions?

Hi again,
I have tried downloading adobe air seperately but it kept coming up with the same 'need to download adobe air' message, even though that is what i was trying to download.
I have (so far) managed to get around that by moving the installer files into my own documents - it had previously had appeared as a device? - and now it seems to be installing fine.
Thanks for your help anyway!
Hopefully this will help if a similar situation comes up with someone else.
thanks again.

Adobe Download Assistant stuck at "Sign in with your Adobe ID to continue".

I'm trying to download Photoshop and I've downloaded Adobe Download Assistant and signed in, and it still says "Sign in with your Adobe ID to continue". The assistant does count be as signed in though, since it says my name on the top bar (where it says "Welcome, (name)"). I've tried downloading other programs from it, tried restarting the program, and tried restarting my computer and I keep getting the same error. Help?

Hi!
I had the same problem, and I made sure I had enough space on the disk.
However, what seemed to help, was to change the location to another disk.
It might have helped to change to another folder or to start the download assistant as an administrator, I didn't get to try that, but atleast it worked for me when I changed the location, and I encourage others with the same problem to try the same or any of the other methods mentioned above.
Hope this helps

Help! - Installing stuck at "2 minutes remaining"

I have a Mac Mini Intel running 10.4.11, and I'm trying to install Leopard, I chose the Archive and Install option - all started going ok with the "time remaining" bar filling up - but now its stuck at "time remaining: About 2 minutes" and has been like that for over 2 hours! I can hear the disk still turning in the drive - but what should I do - keep waiting - or cancel the install - and if so, how do I cancel the install - I don't want to risk messing up the installation!
Any help appreciated!

What stage has the installation reached? If this is in the optimisation you can do a forced shutdown and restart the computer and the installation should be OK. You shouldn't have to wait this long but maybe something has happened since you posted. If so, let's know.
If it's still not showing progress I recommend a forced shutdown anyway. Try restarting. If a restart works check the About this Mac to find the working OS. If it's still 10.4.11 Do a Disk Utility Repair Disk by restarting with the original instal dvd (hold the c Key until the Apple logo shows). You will get the choose language. Do so and on the next screen Choose Tools & Disk Utility from the menu bar. Also do Repair permissions. If either of this shows repairs run them a second time and again until you get no repairs needed or unable to repair. If the latter report back.
If it doesn't restart restart from the Original instal disk and proceed as previously. Try a restart. If unsuccessful:
Restart from the Leopard instal disk and re-run the whole instal.

Mt. Lion installation stuck at 4 minutes remaining = help

Never had this happen before during an installation. I am installing from a usb drive which I made
from my initial Mt. Lion installation so that I didn't have to tie up the servers/wait with each installation.
I have used this drive to install Mt. Lion successfully on another laptop (I am installing on a MacBook
Pro 2010 machine). This machine and the other I have previously installed on are all authorized on my
account. I have seen the Time Remaining get to under 10 minutes and then jump back to a higher time
before finishing but never seen it just stop. It has been about 45 minutes now. Thanks in advance for
any ideas.

Hello hughmourous,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your OS X Yosemite installation did not complete.
If you have not already, and your installation did not complete, I'd recommend holding down the power button on your Mac to turn it off, and try booting into Safe Mode:
Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without pressing any keys during startup.

Migration tool transferring one minute remaining

Macbook core 2 duo Intel to MBP core 2 duo intel
migration assistant hangs at one minute remaining "transferring files to support applications, under one minute remaining."
Its been saying this from last night to this morning
I have done this 3 times.
Does anyone know why it is doing this or should I manually transfer.

I am having the same issue with my Mac Pro. I am trying to transfer data from a Intel iMac to the new Mac Pro and it freezes with 18 minutes to go. It has been at that point for about four hours now. I read a website that mentioned that this is caused by a spotlight bug and if you disable spotlight on the computer you are transferring the data from before you begin your migration you will not encounter the issue. The problem is that now that I am in the middle of the migration how do I stop it without corrupting the install. The last thing I want to do is re-install everything.
