How long does it take to migrate mail data from snow leopard to lion. Waiting for hours

OK, so here I thought I was solving a calendar sync problem by updating my OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3. Initially unable to load the mail app, however this seemed to work after taking out the "envelope index" file as suggested in this forum. New mail program loaded, but now stuck with rolling blue and white candy bar on a window inside the "Mail Upgrade" window stating "migrating data ...".Thinking I might simply have a lot of data I waited 5 (!!) hours,... No change. I went back to Finder and once again removed the envelope index file as well as all files with a .plist extension. Again started mail, again stuck with the screen "migrating data". So my question: Do I just have to wait (and then for how long? Days?), or do I have to tweek my MacBook Pro a little to be able to once again read and write e-mail?
Thanks

12 hours and did not finish. Still left with the message: migrating data. I cannot imagine what the program is doing.
So I force quit mail and cleaned up everything I know to clean up: went to folder "~/library/Mail" and deleted everything I thought was not needed. Emptied the trash. Now, of course, I have a fair amount of mails in different folders that are stored in the mail program. But from a total data amount point of view this should be trivial.
Restarted mail, get the screen: "Mail Message Import", click "Continue"
Then program successfully imports 4563 messages in less than 2 minutes.
Then - once again - rotating candy bar with message "migrating data ..."
There is no way to see what is actually happening and no way to stop the process other than force quit.
Help!!!

By cable standards it's not very fast. Assuming it runs at top speed with no hiccups at either end you can download about 650 KB/s. So, that suggests it will take a little over two hours. Of course transfers are rarely ever perfect, so could take more than two yours, realistically. My pipe is about four times faster than yours, and I've seen the download take twice as long as it "should."

I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

How long does it take to get a refund from Apple?

I returned my MacBook on the 6th or 7th day of having it, and paid the re-stocking fee, 2 weeks ago. Yet I still have no refund. How long does it take to get my refund?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well it shouldn't take 2 weeks.
Call Apple to find out what the status is on your refund or you can go to the Apple store and find out what's going on in person.
Just curious, but why did you return your MacBook?
You should give in another try!

Import mail folders from Snow Leopard into Lion

Hi,
I've just switched from my MacBook Pro (MAC OS X Snow Leopard) to a new iMac (MAC OS X Lion). On both machines, I've been using Apple Mail.
Now I want to import the Mail folders from the Mail in Snow Leopard to the Mail in Lion. When using FILE > IMPORT FOLDER nothing was imported: Both settings, importing from Apple Mail and importing ".mbox" files, did end in a message saying that the folders could not be imported.
So I figured out how to access the library folder in my user account on lion and pasted all the mailboxes from Snow Leopard to LIBRARY/MAIL/V2/MAILBOXES. After that, I deleted the "envelope" files from LIBRARY/MAIL/V2/MAILDATA. I started Mail and it created the envelope files from scratch. Now I can see the mail folders, but they are all empty! However, when I browse to the mailbox files in the Finder (LIBRARY/MAIL/V2/MAILBOXES), I can see that each mailbox ".mbox" folder has an "Info.plist" and a folder "Messages". Those folders are not emtpy!
How can I get my Mail in Lion to properly display the messages in the folders?
Any comments are welcome! Thanks for your support!!
Regards,
Matthias

Could you please explain the whole process of exporting mail from Snow to Lion. I have been trying for weeks on two diffrent computers and I can not get it to work.
I have moved the library, not sure to delete the envelopes. How do you export the mbox-files ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

How long does it take to download a movie from iTunes? Approximately?

Just curious. Before I start buying movies I need to know how long it takes to download them to my iPad. I know it may depend on my wifi but what's the approx amount of time?

They should allow you to watch as it's downloading. I would think with technology these days it wouldn't be that hard to allow us to do this. I could have gone to the store and rented the movie in less time it takes to download this thing.

How do I migrate my Mail configuration from Snow Leopard to Lion manually?

I wasn't able to move the data from my old MacBook to my new MacBook running Lion, because I was using FileVault on the old system, and the Migration Assistant doesn't support home directories with FileVault enabled.
I've managed to migrate everything without issue -- Music, Photos, Movies -- all worked great. However, when I try to start Mail under Lion, I get prompted to reconfigure Mail. I've copied the ~/Library/Mail folder and the Preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) to the new laptop (via SFTP) but Mail won't pick up from where it left off.
Is there something I've missed? How should I perform this migration?
Thanks in advance.

Lion mail is different than SL. It should have converted the old content to the new format when you opened Mail. Quit Mail and move the contents of the Mail folder from the home Library to the desktop.
When you start Mail, use the import from Apple Mail feature to import everything from that folder. That should bring in all accounts and mailboxes in Mail.

How do I move prior years' Turbo Tax data from Snow Leopard computer to my new Mavericks mini?

I bought a new mini, but don't know how to transfer my old Turbo Tax returns/history/files over from
my iMac (Snow Leopard) to the mini (Mavericks). I ended up doing my 2013 taxes on my old computer
because I needed to have 2012 data imported for 2013 returns, but I would like to get all of
my Turbo Tax history on the mini. HELP (please!) Thank you!

This reminds me of an anecdote that I used to tell people to describe certain aspects of computer media and is somewhat relevant here. The story is oobviously 20 years old, and the facts have been changed to make my point:
My wife recently came back from Italy with a VHS cassette of an Italian movie that she wanted to watch on our VHS player at home.
I sent the cassette out to a local video conversion store, so that they could convert the VHS tape from PAL to NTSC.
When my wife played the newly converted tape on our home VHS player, she exclaimed: "But it is still in Italian!"
I have no experience with Turbo Tax. But I suspect that in prior years (especially prior to 2007) it was coded in PowerPC code.
In 2007, Apple converted its entire line of computers to the Intel CPU (from the PowerPC CPU), but in order to allow its existing user base to continue to use its PowerPC software, they included a transparent emulation layer in Mac OS X Tiger (Intel), Leopard, and optionally in Snow Leopard, called Rosetta.
Rosetta allowed users to continue to use their library of PowerPC apps without much problem.
Due to the expiration of its third party license, Rosetta is no longer included in Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks.
Moral of the Story: If the earlier versions of Turbo Tax are not Intel compliant, they will not run on your new Mac Mini, unless you install Snow Leopard Server ($20 from the Apple Store, by telephone orders only; part number: MC588Z/A) installed into Parallels ($79 retail).
If the latest version of Turbo Tax will open older Turbo Tax data files, this may not be a problem for you.
That is how I am able to continue to access my older Quicken Deluxe 2002 data files when necessary.

Network user cannot migrate AppleMail account from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7.1.

I have a network user that is trying to open Apple Mail on a mini running Lion 10.7.1 for the first time. This user previously used a mini that is running Snow Leopard. Apple Mail is trying to perform an import I assume because Apple Mail 5 on the Lion is different then the version running on Snow Leopard? The import fails and says to press Continue to allow the Migration Assistant to create a new library. When we do this, the system responds that the Mail Index is damaged, to quit and reopen Mail so it can be repaired. We get the same set of messages when we close and go back into Mail.
When I access the console logs, here is what I saw:
10/18/11 12:23:01.647 PM Mail: Upgrade failed because of exception: Could not move /Network/Servers/server.aigtechnologies.net/Volumes/Data/Users/javier/Library/M ail/V2-Temp.noindex to /Network/Servers/server.aigtechnologies.net/Volumes/Data/Users/javier/Library/M ail/V2; ERROR: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "“V2-Temp.noindex” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Mail”."

Permission denied"}
My interpretation of this message is that either the ACL or POSIX permissions are not set correctly for the user. When I log into Server Admin and check this though, ACL is set to allow Full Control for the user's folder and all children folders. The POSIX is set to Read&Write for the user's folder and all of the children files.
I read some of the discussions and tried removing all of the contents of the V2-Temp file, but this creates the same result.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
