Errors when using migration assistant - do I care about these files??

Went through the migration assistant to move files from my MBP to new iMac (21.5"). After it finished I got a message saying...
Items not migrated
Some items on your old computer could not be transferred to your new computer:
-some files from "BIOsfile.3ssl.gz" could not be transferred.
-same as above for "SSL_read.3ssl.gz"
anyone know if these files matter and what they are for?

They look like compressed SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) configuration files ralated to an old Linux install.
THey should be ok to not get migrated, but make sure that if you are running Linux that things work as they should in terms of networking/VPN, etc.

  • HT4889 I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. How do I now 'migrate' all the files from both accounts into one to save myself having two accounts, both of which are me? Help?

    I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. I have read that I probably should not have skipped migration in the initial set up and the problem would have been avoided but, alas, here I am. Does anyone know how I can 'migrate' all the files from one of the accounts that has been created to the other, so then I can delete it and have a single user on the computer seeing as I am the only person using it? I have read starting again, if this is the way to go, where is the best place to start 'starting again'?

    Yes definitely should see it but its not coming up (I don't think) when I log out of 2nd user and into the main account. Opening finder in the 2nd account, I can obviously find the public folder because thats where I dropped all the files, but when in the main account, it can't be found. The only public folder that comes up is the folder for that account (main account) and it does not display files I'm looking for. Frustrating....
    EDIT: Have found it through a round-about way but all music and photo and movie etc files have a red stop sign disallowing them from being transferred. Can you guess what the next question will be?

    Open System Preferences and select Users & Groups. Assuming the migration was successful, you now have a new account - it was migrated. Migration Assistant doesn't copy files, it copies accounts. To see your documents you'll need to log into the account you migrated. (It has the same password it did on the other computer.)

  • How do you avoid Connection Time Out when using Migration Assistant

    Connection Time Out occurred when trying to use Migration Assistant to Transfer filess from a Windows Computer to a new iMac.  What do I do to avoid this?
    I've connected the Windows computer to the iMac using an ethernet cable and both computers are on the same network.  When I started the transfer, it said it was copying the first file on both machines but nothing was happening.  Then finally it said there was a Connection Time out.  Is there anything else I need to check?

    I suspect it has something to do with your network settings on your PC. I'd recommend calling AppleCare right away. you have 90 days of free AppleCare telelphone support, they can help walk you through the process. Also if you haven't already i'd strongly recommend Pondini's guide to using Migration Assistant. You can locate it by clicking:

  • Just used Migration Assistant but spotlight won't index files on new iMac computer.

    I just used Migration Assistant to move files from my old 2008 Mac Pro to a new 2013 iMac 27" both Intel based. Files and applications all moved over fine and I can access them in Finder but Spotlight won't index the files. Should I be reindexing something or do I need to do somethign for spotlight to recognize the new filez I migrated?
    Thanks!

    You can force a Spotlight index, just let it run and your migration should be just fine. Instructions are in:

  • How do i migrate software from my G5 power mac to my macbook pro as when using migration assistant it deems the OS X 10.5.8 on my G5 too old for migration, how can i migrate?

    I can't migrate my software help!

    Put your data (the Home folder) onto an external USB drive, then restore files from it on the MBP. Do not restore the /Home/Library/ folder in its entirety. All you would need are the Application Support folders for your compatible or upgraded applications and the preference files for those applications.

  • Used 'migration assistant'  - now iPhone app problems

    I used 'migration assistant' to transfer all my apps & files from my iMAC to my iBookPro.
    Now when I've tried to update/sync my iPhone apps via iTunes, I got error messages indicating that many apps were no longer authorized on my iPhone.
    So I tried deleting and re-installing those apps on my iPhone - however iTunes shows they are still there and will not let me re-install the same apps.
    There appears to be no way to delete these apps from their listing in my iTunes.
    I also have 2 other family member each with iPhones & some of these same apps (most all of them free) were loaded onto their iPhones.
    I do not understand why iTunes would not allow one to delete a listed app and re-install it.  The app can be deleted off of the iPhone but NOT removed from its listing in my local iTunes environment.

  • Using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook

    When using Migration Assistant to move files from old PC laptop to new MacBook Pro, that has Windows 8 installed containing Outlook, will emails, contacts and calendar entries be moved to Outlook on the new MacBook or into Mail, Contacts and Calendar?

    I doubt they will. But then I'm not sure as I used a migration program once about 18 years ago and totally FUBARed the system I had at that time and I've never used one again.
    For me the reason to have a new system is to start fresh. Installing only program that I now use and manually copying data over from the older system.
    Not sure your older version of Outlook, and the outlook mail boxes, are compatible with Office/Outlook for Mac 2011.
    A better place to ask this question would be on the MS Office for Mac forums.
    Hope it all works out for you.

  • Windows Mail Folders gone in Mac Mail after using migration assistant

    I purchased a MacBook Air for my husband and used Migration assistant to transfer all of his files from his PC running Vista. It looked like everything was fine, but when I opened Mac mail, the only messages that were in there was what was in his inbox, junk and trash. Where are all of the folders from Windows Mail he had created? Please help!

  • Weird error message when trying to use migration assistant?

    We gave my mom a Macbook Pro for Mother's Day. While trying to set it up for her using migration assistant pc to mac, her Dell kept coming up with an error message saying msidcrl40.dll is missing?? What the heck does that even mean? Needless to say migration assistant would not run on her computer. We're going to take it to the Apple store tomorrow but does anyone have a suggestion on how we can fix it ourselves so we don't have to head to the store? Can they even help us at the Apple store? I also wanted to them to help us with transfering her Quicken data from her Dell to iBank because I'm scared I'll mess it up.

    You can't do that.  Instead, just remove "aaa new-model" from the config then try to deploy it.  Alternatively, you can try "merge mode," but that will send the whole config back to the device.

  • I'm attempting to transfer files, address book, etc from an external hard drive to my new Mac-mini using migration assistant.  The external drive is showing up on my desktop but Migration Assistant is not seeing the drive when searching for devices

    I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant.  I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop

    I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion   Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it.  After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot.  I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK.  I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
    I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD.  I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents.  It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done.  I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
    Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.
    It's been a month or so since your post  Did your get it to work?

  • How to recover Mail and Mail Downloads when you can't use Migration Assistant

    I have a MacBook 2.4gHz that had a 750GB HD that crashed yesterday. Disk Utility said "This Hard Drive has failed, recover or backup what you can, then reformat." So, I removed the 750GB HD and replaced the original 160GB HD and reinstalled OS 10.7 on that Drive. I put the 750GB HD in an external case and hooked it up by USB (only available hookup with my external case). I can see all my content and tried to use Migration Assistant, but it hangs up at "preparing content to transfer." So, I decided I would have to drag all the old content onto my new user on the internal HD. I moved Movies, Pictures, Desktop, Documents, Music, and Downloads. However, I can't move any of the parts of the hidden User Library, primarily because I can't find or see it.
    My question is how to access the User Library in a non-bootable (although having OS 10.7 installed) External HD. I've tried the ~/Library/ in Go>Go to Folder, but it goes to the running HD User folder, not the external. Can anyone tell me how to crack into this folder? I'd like to retrieve preferences, mailboxes, address book, etc.
    I realize it could be lost, but literally everything else is still present. FYI: I plan to hang onto the 750 until the replacement HD arrives, so I can be reminded what Applications I had installed. There isn't room for all of those on the smaller HD.
    Thanks,
    Ronda

    Update: I managed to get Migration Assistant to move something, but it didn't work out as I expected. Because I've already installed the OS and some applications that I need, as well as copying over most of the user files except the library, there wasn't much room left on the smaller disk. I purchased the firewire 9pin to 6pin cable that would allow me to use the firewire port on the external drive and selected the main user. There wasn't enough room to move all of the user, so I selected only the "Other Files" folder (about 2 GB), not all the items I had already copied. I set that to install last night at 9:32pm. At 4:00am it said there was still 10 hrs and 29 minutes to go. My husband checked it at 6:45am and it said 19 more minutes. When he arrived home at 4:30pm, it was finished. When I arrived home and logged out of the administrator and in to the main user, immediately it showed my desktop with all the folders that I had placed in the sidebar of the Finder window and everything looked exactly like it had on Monday before the crash, then the beachball started spinning and when it finally came up for air, all those folders were gone, my dock appearance was gone and everything was back to the bland new user settings that Mac OS starts with.
    My mail file did get moved over with its thousands of messages, but not mail uploads nor the desktop appearance settings and it doesn't appear that any other settings have migrated either. It's difficult to tell, since I can't install my applications on the smaller drive.
    The replacement drive from WD arrived, but it is a 2TB "upgrade" and it doesn't even fit in my MacBook, so I have to send that back and wait longer.
    I'm still trying to recover my appearance, and combine the various users into one. If anyone has suggestions on how to get the mail uploads folder, preferences, etc. I'd love to hear them.
