How long to transfer macbook pro into imac

I just got my new imac. Started migration from my good old macbook pro through wifi & than connected ethernet cable. 4 hours have gone by now.... Is it normal? How long should this process take more or less ?
Tks

Thanks for replying. My question: if i plagued an ethernet cable while migration was already on, did the computers change and now migrate through ethernet? The only difference i noticed after connecting the ethernet cable is, the notice about connecting ethernet for a faster migration disappeared. But that was 2 hours ago.... . After how many hours should i start to be suspicious?
Tks

    If you mean copy files from one to the other you can connect the two via firewire cable and boot one into Target Disk Mode.

    how long can a macbook pro battery last?

    Depends on your particular model of MBP. It depends on the context, too. Do you mean hours of usage or do you mean life of the battery?

  • Able to Dock MacBook Pro into iMac Display?

    I have a MacBook Pro which I keeped docked into/connected to my Apple LED Cinema Display when I'm not on the road or at meetings outside of my office. This allows me to work with my MacBook Pro closed and with a keyboard and mouse at hand, almost as if I'm using a desktop.
    My father's asked me to look into purchasing an iMac for his home, which I frequently visit. Would it be possible for me to dock my MacBook Pro into the iMac display similarly to how I can dock my MacBook Pro into my Apple LED Cinema Display? (And, if so, are there any additional accessories I need to do this?)
    For example, can I close my notebook? Can I use the iMac mouse and keyboard? Can I play music on the iMac speakers? Can I use the iSight camera? I realize the iMac needs to be turned on when being connected to, which implies that the iMac operating system and programs would be running in the background, but can I basically keep the iMac operating system and programs "hidden" so that it feels like I'm purely using my MacBook Pro?
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

  • How to turn a Macbook Pro into a second display for another Macbook Pro

    So my school just gave me a Macbook Pro and I already have a Macbook Pro. I would like to know if I could turn my school Macbook Pro into a second display for my regular Macbook Pro. Thank You!
    Both Macs are running Mavericks 10.9.4

    If you need administrative access and it is denied to you, then there is no way, as ScreenRecycler and AirDisplay do need administrative access to be installed.

  • How long will this MacBook Pro last me?

    I recently have received a mid-2009 macbook pro as a gift. I have upgraded the software to Mountain Lion (and most likely going to upgrade to Mavericks whenever it comes out). I am going to become a high school senior in the upcoming months. I was wondering how long this laptop would last me! I like gaming, but the graphics aren't that good even on low quality, but I'm sure this laptop will be fine for my last year of high school and til the end of college prehaps?
    Thanks,
    Christopher!
    Edit:
    I understand there isn't just a breakdown date or timer, but I am just asking for a guess from the community! Sorry for the confusion if there was any.
    Thank you!

    Your machine is about 4 years old and in it's end of life stage for a laptop.
    It al depends how much abuse the previous owner did to it, how much wear on the keyboard/Superdrive and on the graphics etc.
    I'd say another year or two and it's done.
    The reason gaming is bad it's because they are designed for PC towers and the latest graphics which a laptop you can't upgrade.
    Also the many OS X operating system versions also has a part as later OS X versions slow down older machines.
    If you want to 3D game, then get a PS4 or a Windows 7/8 3D gaming tower and upgrade the video card every couple of years to a better one.
    That's the only way, Mac's can't upgrade the video card anymore and new 3D games need better graphics.
    The only way one can keep a Mac a very long time is to take exceeding great care of it, all the wear and tear on external devices, then there is a limit to upgrading operating systems and Apple will begin denying security updates as well.
    Good luck

  • How long to boot MacBook pro 13" late 2011?

    It takes 1 minute 30 seconds to startup my macbook pro 13" late 2011 (2.4ghz i5 processor, 4GB RAM)
    This seems like a long time? I have Microsoft Office and Photoshop installed, will this slow it down?
    Thanks!

    if you have a normal hard drive installed - it usually takes a minute to desktop when you power up.
    check your login items to see what's loading when you first power up your Macbook.
    you can also go to disk utility and verify your disk permissions - repair them if errors are found then restart your Macbook. 
    see if that helps your booting time.
    good luck

  • How long does the macbook pro 13 retina battery last

    I just recently got my macbook and was wondering this because i am a bit scared. Apple says their battery lasts around 9 hours, what does that mean? If just doing simple work like pages and other programs a like, my battery will last up to 9 or 10 hours but that is when my brightness is less than 60%, it lasts maybe 8 hours at full. However, when I'm doing searches on safari like going on websites and youtube, my battery only lasts about 6.5 hours at 40% brightness, for some reason if i am on netflix it will last longer, maybe for about 7.5 hours 40% brightness. I personally would be happy with 6+ hours and keeping it at a low brightness but if I'm supposed to get more battery than why not?! P.S. When i go on activity monitor it says that none of the applications are using more than 5% (except activity monitor).

    Hey samraymond,
    Welcome to the Apple family, I’m glad to hear that you have purchased a new MacBook Pro with Retina Display. Our marketing pages state that the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display can last up to 9 hours. However, please keep in mind that battery life will definitely vary by use and configuration. Our technical specifications page provides more information on the testing that was conducted to determine battery life:
    Apple - MacBook Pro with Retina display - Technical Specifications
    http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs-retina/
    Testing conducted by Apple in July 2014 using preproduction 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, preproduction 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro units, and preproduction 2.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.

  • How long did your MacBook Pro take to arrive?

    My MBP is coming direct from Apple but as it was purchased via a reseller I have no tracking.
    Its been over 9 working days already, but the apple site says 2-3 days is typical?
    I'm soooo excited but its quickly turning to disappointment with every afternoon.
    How long did yours take to arrive?

    Hi there,
    When I ordered my custom MBP on June 25, it also said 2-3 days to ship. It shipped the 28th from China and arrived via FedEx on July 3rd. That was with standard shipping. I'm not sure if you used expedited shipping or not, but fyi, it is expedited only after going through customs - i.e. 2 day shipping will mean 2 days after going through customs. Depending on when you ordered, especially if you ordered right before or after Independence Day, it could be a day or two extra to process.
    Good luck, and I hope you enjoy it when it finally arrives.

  • How long should a MacBook Pro take to start up?

    I purchased my MacBook Pro 11 mo ago, at the beginning it would take about 30 secs to start up, now it takes almost a minute (the same as my old Dell computer) the only program I have installed is Microsoft office, the mac computers at work take about 30 secs to start up.
    I probably don't have more than 10 word files in "my documents" and no more than 500 photos, which I think is nothing compared to ALL the information I have in the computer at work
    is it normal to take 1 minute to start up? What should I do in order to make the start up faster?
    It annoys me that it takes almost the same as my old Dell computer
    Thanks

    Mountain Lion has a annoying feature it loads the last used programs when you log in.
    So disable that, there are various hacks on this thread
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3244852?start=30&tstart=0
    See if that improves your boot time and if not, then do the #12/#13 OnyC cache cleaning routine here and reboot when finished.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If that doesn't solve it, investigate your Office verison is compatible with your OS X version
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Uninstall it and see if the boot time resumes normally, or update it or run further through the Steps.
    Why is my computer slow?
    The Mac's at work, are they running 10.7 or later? Or the fast and speedy 10.6

  • How long should my macbook pro battery charge last before needing to be recharged

    My macbook pro goes from 100% fully charged to zero in one day of light use.  Is that normal?  It seems to hold a charge for less time now than in the past.  Do I need a new battery?  Thanks, Gina

    Watching video depletes the battery faster than typing a letter. My MBP battery will go down from 100% to about 65% (sometimes down to 50%)  in about 3 - 4 hours if I do nothing but browse this site and possibly watch a short video. It also depends on the screen brightness settings and a host of other things. If you only use it for 2 hours, then there is a problem and I'd take it to your nearest Genius Bar for a diagnosis.

  • How long to Refurbished Macbooks come into stock?1

    I am hoping to buy the Macbook for £550, I have been watching it recently, and it has not been in stock for quite a while now. Does anyone have any idea when they normally come into stock?

    Hi rasta9997,
    There's really no guarantee. For example, at the time of this posting the 2.26GHz "Unibody" plastic MacBook is available on the refurbished site. It wasn't there 20 minutes ago and it might not be there in 20 minutes. I've purchased my fair share of refurbished machines (about 15 over the past 5 years) and from my experience Apple usually releases them during "peak times."
    For example... around 4:15am PST I've seen them make all sorts of products available. Presumably to target East Coast early birds @ 7:30am. In addition I've noticed other batch releases around 4:30pm PST, again presumably to target people when they get home from work or out of class.
    Hardly a scientific statement of fact but one thing's for certain, most of the sub $1000 portable offerings are gone within a few hours.

  • How to connect my MacBook Pro and iMac

    I have file sharing enabled on both computers and the MBPro connects to the internet via WiFi through the iMac yet the MBPro cannot see the iMac in finder.  Both are running the latest version of OSX 10.9.1.
