How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

Using Migration Assistant and I am transferring data from PC to IMac. Have no idea how ling this process should take. How long does it take to transfer data from a PC to a Mac?

This may not be the best forum to get an answer.
Depending on what is being/can be migrated it may be dependent on how much data is on the PC already.

  • How long does it take to transfer data from a time  machine back up?

    I am in the process of transferring my data from my time machine back up from my old mac to my new mac and this seems to be taking a long time.  What is everyone's experience for how long this takes?

    That does seem a tad excessive. What connection are you using? Ideal is firewire; Airport would be slowest (quite possibly as long as you say).

  • How long does it take to write data from network analyzer

    I am using LabVIEW to control two DC power supplies through GPIB-USB and I have a DAQ-6008 generating 8-bit digital output. I am connecting two DC power supplies and the 8-bit digital signal to my circuit and want to measure s parameters (all S11, S12, S21, S22) and write their magnitude and phase to a .txt file in my laptop. It worked but took about 1.5 minutes to write data (magnitude and phase of four s parameters) for a fixed DAQ output and fixed DC voltage by only sweeping 6 points. Is it a reasonable time? Because eventually I will have more than ten thousand combinations and need to record s parameters for all these combinations and it will take too long. I would like to know which part spends more time or how I can reduce the time to write four s parameters. Thanks a lot.

    Hello yll,
    -So you mean I should delete some of the controls
    in the front panel  and make them a fixed value or default in the block
    diagram to reduce the front panel controls
    What Dennis is saying is that your front panel controls are only read once by your program.  The are read at the beginning and the value is passed into the while loop.  This is the value that will be used, even if you change the front panel.  You can verify this by using highlight execution. 
    -What does it mean that I am
    resetting the instrument each time?
    Everytime you call the initialize VI, you send a command for the instrument to reset.  This is not necessary, since you want your settings to remain for the entire program.  You can reset it when you "first" start using it, but as your program keeps going, you do not need to reset it.
    -Do I need the initialize VI and
    close VI in every iteration or I should have them out of the loops so
    all the instrument are initialized and closed only once throughout the
    entire process?
    That is exactly what you should do.
    -For the network analyzer, when you said I only need the
    VIs from initialize.vi to read data.vi (the second one from the end),
    do you mean that I can delete the close.vi? and why does it make the
    program faster?
    You should probably add the close outside the loop, as good practise.  I would still put the initialize outside the loop.
    I hope this helps.

  • How long does it take to transfer files from Windows to Macbook Pro

    Hi guys
    I just got a macbook pro (not the one with retina display)
    I have all of my files on my windows and just started to set up my mac using the windows transfer program, but it is taking a really long time. The estimate time remaining jumps between 30-35 hours. This is over Wi-Fi. I have read that it is faster using an Ethernet cable, I think I have one that is pluged into connecting both computers, but it isn't speeding anything up.
    What should I do? I don't want to leave either computer on for such a long time. (is there anything I should put my Mac on so it doesn't overheat, its currently on a wood table).
    Should I stop it? I dont want to ruin anything on the computer so soon. If so, how do I do it. I had already started to transfer files earlier today but accidently closed the Mac, which stopped the process and couldn't restart it again, so I turned it off since I couldn't find anything on the screen to stop it.
    I have an external harddrive that was connected to my windows, would it be faster to hold the mac's power button, start the startup again and just connect the external harddrive?
    Please help. Thanks in advance.

    Wi-Fi is slowest. Wi-fi must fight interference and other environmental challenges that cables don't have to worry about at all.
    Cabled Ethernet would be much faster. If your Windows computer has Gigabit Ethernet, it could actually be faster than FireWire.

    I would only abort if there is a safe way to (like a visible Cancel button), otherwise you may lose data.
    Connecting the external hard drive to the Mac could work, but if the hard drive is formatted with the NTFS disk format, you must have extra software on your MacBook Pro that can read that. If the drive is formatted as FAT32, it should work since Macs can read (but not write to) that Windows disk format.

  • How long does it take to transfer computers

    if i purchase a new macbook, how long does it take to transfer everything off my old mac?

    Using Migration Asisstant over WiFi (described below), it took me about 2 hours to migrate my 60GB from old to new Mac.
    You could speed this up using Ethernet if you choose.

  • How long should it take to transfer information from hard drive to MacBook Pro after resetting

    how long should it take to transfer information from my hard drive to my Mac Pro after it has been reset

    There is no answer to that. The time depends on the amount of data and the method used for transfer.

  • How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are working on it?

    How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
    Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
    Anyone been there done that?

  • How long does it take for bridge data purchase to be available

    I used up all my data on my AllSet plan, so I purchased 1GB of bridge data yesterday.  I got the text message saying "Congratulations! 1GB of Data has been added to your account.  This data is held in reserve and will become active when your current data is used". 
    I've got two questions.
    1) Is there anywhere on My Verizon (verizonwireless.com) to see this data or purchase history?
    2) How long before it is available on my account?  I still have no data access on my phone.

    You might want to check your bank account to make sure it went through. I did it twice and received confirmation text on both but neither one went through on my bank account. I called tech support and was hung up on by the first cs rep, second time I talked to Lawrence and he helped me. Lawrence did a great job, thank you! Hope this helps.

  • HT4500 How long will it take to transfer 400gb from time capsule to my iMac using mountain lion

    I did a clean install on my iMac. Now I cannot access my backups. I can see the time capsule, but when I open time machine, I only have today  which is the newly installed system. I am now trying to use migration assistant to grab my files. I got to where I choose my time machine and entered my password. Now I don't see any action. How long will the transfer take?  My 500 gb time capsule is full. Should I be seeing something on my screen.

    This depends on what the connection type is for the computer to the Time Capsule - wireless or Ethernet, how much data are involved, what generation of Time Capsule, and whether the transfers are to an HDD or SSD.

  • HT4137 How long does it take to transfer purchases?  I do not have that many.

    I am transferring purchases in iTunes and the process has now been over an hour.  I have 11.9 GB free on my phone, so there is not that much.  Please advise if I should stop and re start or continue to wait?

    Sounds like you should just cancel it. close iTunes, restart the computer and phone and try again
