transferring data from old to new and stuck on one min remaining for 1.5 days.  any ideas

If you have already tried restarting the process and it continues to stall out, the only way to do it is through target disk mode. Because USB C is so new there is not an official way to do it. If you take it into an Apple Store they should transfer your data for free.

  • Transferred data from ipad3 to new mini

    Got Mini for Christmas.  Transferred data from iPad3 to new Mini.  Want to move data from iPad1 to iPad 3, but iPad3 is "disabled" & won't recognize old passcode.  Tried to restore, but still can't get past old passcode login screen.

    Hi,
    Delete the service books you see under Options -> Advanced Options -> Service Books and resend the new service books from the new Virgin Site.

  • Transferred data from old I-Pad to I-Pad two, can't get online or e-mail

    Just transferred data from old I-Pad to I-Pad two, both Wi-fI 3 G. Can't get online with new I-Pad--but can with old one. Suggestions? Will not use 3G with old one, only with new one. Have mobile-me account.

    Hi,
    Can't get online with new I-Pad
    Try syncing with just the default apps, not apps you have downloaded. Then restart the iPad and see if it makes a difference.

  • Transferring Data from old iMac to new iMac via Firewire

    I am having difficulty transferring data from my old iMac to my new iMac via firewire. Per the instructions contained in migration assistant, when I hold down the letter "T" key during startup of the "old" mac the firewire symbol does not appear. Given that the firewire symbol does not appear I am unable to proceed with the transfer. Of note, my new Mac is the '09 24" iMac and my old iMac is the early 2006 model with the 17" screen. Incidentally, I am using the following cable contained in the attached link along with the adaptor (400) with respect to my old iMac.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Todd
    Not sure why that wouldn't work, but it could be that cable and adapter setup as the Early Core Duo only supports firewire 400.
    You should try a 9 to 6 Pin Bilingual FireWire Cable:

    I did reboot the system.

    One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
    at the end a message came up

    I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
    and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
    Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
    How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
    It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.

  • Transferring Data From Old iMac to New iMac

    I've tried searching the forums on this topic, and I can't find the exact answer I'm looking for.
    I just got my 20" iMac CoreDuo and I'm trying to transfer Data from my old 17" iMac G4. I've got the two computers hooked up through Firewire and I was running the file transfer from the initial set-up, but it seems to have froze up on me. I have a lot of data, my G4 iMac is pretty much full and it showed about 6 hours of transfer time.
    I guess my question is, how can I keep my new iMac from going to sleep in order to finish the data transfer? If I can't do this, what other ways can I get all my files over to my new computer?
    Thanks in advance...
    17" iMac G4, 20" iMac CoreDuo   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    hey, i just finished transferring files and i have pretty much the same set up. Moved 35GB from imac G4 to the 2GHZ intel mac, via firewire. FYI, upon the initial transfer it states an approx completion time and amount to transfer. The time is FAR from the actual move. Mine stated 2 hours and about 30 minutes I think. The transfer was complete in about 20-25 minutes. So don't go by that.

  • Transferring data from old iPad to new iPad after setup

    I just got a new iPad Air 2 and got it set up, but it didn't realize until after set up that I had not backed up my old iPad in a long time. So now I'm missing a lot of data. I have since backed up the old iPad, but is there a way to get that data over to my new iPad? I thought about resetting it and starting over but I'm scared that I'll lose ALL of my info (like the cellular data plan that I set up with AT&T).

    What you needed to do was back up  your old one then when you set up your new one, instead of choosing 'set up as new' you'd choose 'restore from backup' and restore it from the backup you just made of your old one.
    In theory you should be able to do that, however it may just be easier to manually transfer the data over.
    If it wasn't for the cellular aspect I'd suggest that you just erase your new one and restore it from the backup of your old one, but I don't have enough experience with cellular to know if that would mess that account up or not.

  • Transfering data from old iPod Touch to new

    Just picked up a new iPod Touch 4G, wanted to know if there is a way to transfer my data from my old 3G one to my new one. Would it be possible to do a back up of my old one and restore it to my new one or is there a function in iTunes I'm missing?

    That did the trick! I plugged in the new one and it asked me if I wanted to start it as new or restore data from a back up.
    Thanks for the help, Sally!

  • Transferring data from old MBP to new MBP

    I have an older MBP (circa 2006) running Snow Leopard and I want to transfer user files (photos/music/iPhoto data, etc) to a new MBP running Lion.  I have searched several threads but wanted to make sure that migrating data using a time machine backup of the older machine would not be a problem. (i.e. its ok to migrate from a machine with an older OS).  I assume it should not be an issue, but wanted to confirm.
    Also, I have never used the migration assistant.  Do people suggest using a time machine back-up or the migration assistant?  Appreciate any thoughts.

    To avoid hassle don't use the Migration Assistant but rather the Setup Assistant in OSX Lion.
    Have a read here Setting-up a new Mac from an old one, its backups, or a PC

  • Transferring data from old computer to new for iphone3g

    Hi all.
    I have purchased a macbook and now am faced with the dilemma of trying to figure how to transfer the info from my iphone ( music, contacts, photos etc) to the new computer. Previously my iphone is backed up by syncing with my windows run pc. I have backed up all the files from pc to external hardrive but do not fully understand what happens with the iphone information patricularly any things purchased.
    I have extensive photos and music and contact information and these things are my primary concern.
    If there is any tech savvy soul who can guide us it would be most appreciated. I am an older person trying to find how to do these things with not a lot of background understanding. I find the info in apple help still confusing .
    Cheers

    With a Mac, you can use iPhoto to import all photos from your PC's backup.
    All iTunes content including 3rd party apps are stored in an iTunes named folder. With Windows, the iTunes folder is located in your Music folder which is in the Documents folder. Copy the iTunes named folder on your external drive. With iTunes quit on your Mac, place the iTunes folder in your Music folder. This will replace the existing iTunes named folder in the Music folder on your Mac. You also need to authorize your Mac with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on your Mac, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal. Make these up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select. Syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Before the first sync with iTunes on your Mac, with your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, control-click on your iPhone in the iTunes source list under Devices and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up.
    This link provides the data included with your iPhone's backup.

  • Transferring data from Bold to new Classic

    I have by now spent many hours trying to get my data xferred from my older Bold to my new Classic. I downloaded and installed the Link software. I plugged in my Bold to my USB port, it found the phone and appeared to have copied out all the normal data (email, contacts, etc.).
    It said to now connect my new phone but the s'ware fails to recognize it and just sits forever on the "Connect your new BlackBerry drvice to your computer. When a picture of your device appears, click the picture." and that seems to be the end of it. But, the pop-up from the BlackBerry device manager shows that it is connected and the phone thinks so too, as it pops up something asking what I want to do with the connection. (I tell it to ignore because any other option disconnects the phone)
    When I connect it I do see a pop-up from the device manager that says "BlackBerry [Pin: 2BF...] has been connected to the systen. Initializing device access." but that too never seems to complete, just sitting there for a long time.
    Checking the Win task manager I see the following likely related things running:
    BbDevMgr.exe
    BlackBerryLink.Autoupdate.exe
    BlackBerryLink.exe
    BlackBerryLink.Helper.exe
    I also thought I would try to use the deviceswitch software to make the transfer over my wifi network. The problem here is that my old phone no longer has a SIM card and won't allow an Internet connection to that web site to download and install the software, even though it does still have a wifi connection to my network. Is there a way to get that software installed on the older Bold without a live Internet connection.
    The people at the ATT store are mostly clueless about BlackBerry things, even though they did manage to get my contacts (only) transferred after messing with it for 30-45 minutes. They said that was all they could do.
    So, any help or things to try based on this longish rant would be appreciated. :-)
    Solved!

    Because Remember is much more than Notes. You can store pictures, and other media in there too. When you flag an email it makes a Remember entry. It's really powerful.
    if your wife is a big Notes nut, I'd recommend Evernote. It integrates natively on the BB, and puts another folder in the Remember app for Evernote Notes. The nice thing is it syncs to Evernote online and there is no risk of ever losing the notes since most devices have Evernote apps.

  • Migrating data from old to new iPhone?

    I have an older (1st gen) iPhone and am planning to upgrade to a new 3GS next week. Is there an easy way to migrate my data from one phone to the other? By "data," I mean things like:
    - Application settings
    - Stored WiFi networks
    - Paired Bluetooth devices
    - Layout of icons
    - etc.
    (I know that the standard stuff like songs, contacts, e-mail, are all pretty easy to move.)
    Is there a way to just tell iTunes to migrate everything over to the new phone? (And, if so, what is included in "everything"?)
    I ask in part because of an experience I had once with my old phone. The phone had died and when I plugged it into my computer, iTunes gave me a message asking if this "new" iPhone should be replaced with the data from <name of my iPhone>. I said yes, and it seems like most settings were transferred (though not all -- the layout of icons, for example.) Will this same thing happen when I first plug in the 3GS? If so, does anyone know specifically what will be carried over... and what will happen the next time I plug in my old iPhone (the one that apparently will be turning into a glorified iPod Touch)?
    Thanks!
    -Mike

    The first time you connect your iPhone 3GS to your Mac, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for your first generation iPhone to your iPhone 3GS. You should sync your first generation iPhone immediately before doing so to update the backup for the iPhone if needed.
    The backup includes data such as most iPhone settlngs, email account settings, SMS messages, Notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in your iPhone's camera roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app. Not the apps (which must be transferred from your iTunes library, and not your home layouts for 3rd party apps.
    You can use your no longer activated first generation iPhone as an iPhone Touch, but in order to complete the process for a firmware update and the same when restoring the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, you need to leave the no longer activated SIM card inserted in the iPhone - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when the iPhone was activated.
