HT204350 Connection lost while migrating in Mavericks

Hi! Had problem with migration. As soon as the target computer start to search for data on the source computer they loose connection. I'm updating from via ethernet cable directly between the two computers. Sounds familiar? Any idea what's going on?

I had the exact same issue yesterday. I upgraded to a new MBP with Retina, coming from a 2007 MBP. I had to upgrade to Mavericks on the old one and then started Migration assitant over wifi because neither MBP have the same connections, so I'm forced to use wifi. 16hrs was the estimate I received, and with 4hrs remaining it lost connection. The new MBP showed that roughly 100GB of info was taken up by my music and movies, but I could not find any of it using Spotlight nor iTunes. So I reinstalled Mavericks and I got my space back, but I don't want to waste another 16hrs+ with this.....

  • Ethernet connection lost during migration

    The ethernet connection gets lost while attempting an initial migration from an iMac 10.6.2 to a MacBook 10.6.1.
    Supposedly, there are some advantages to doing a migration during the first set-up process.
    Following the prompts on the new MacBook to connect an ethernet cable to the older Mac, then open Migration Assistant.
    Shortly after entering the Administrator password and the code number from the new MacBook the connection is lost.
    Maybe there never was a connection, how would I know?
    Tried two different cables, could they both be defective?
    Anyone have experienced this problem and know the solution?

    R C-R
    Thought that you would be interested to know that your thoughtful and appreciated suggestions made no difference in eliminating the connection failure messages.
    The MacBook is new. No one has ventured past the Welcome process. One of the first options after selecting language, country, & keyboard is the option of migrating information from another source. I chose to migrate From Another Mac.
    The window instructions state to connect the two computers with an Ethernet cable, which I did.
    Open the Migration Assistant in the iMac. Followed the instructions in the windows.
    The iMac recognized the MacBook and a passcode appeared in the MacBook window.
    The passcode was entered in the iMac, and the gathering of information begins in each computer.
    Then the drop down window with "The Network Connection Failed" appears first in the MacBook then the iMac.
    End of migration process.
    Anyone have this problem or a solution?
    The manual accompanying the MacBook says:
    "*Gigabit Ethernet port
    Connect to a high-speed Ethernet network, a DSL or Cable modem, or another computer. The Ethernet port automatically detects Ethernet devices and doesn't require an Ethernet crossover cable."
    I definitely had these two computers directly connected with a working CAT6 Ethernet cable.
    What am I doing wrong?

  • Wi-Fi connection lost while using anything but safari

    hi everybody. I am using an iPad 4 in my home Wi-Fi environment (amongst iMac & iPhone). When I browse with safari, everything works fine, always. But when I use the youtube app, for example, the iPad looses the WiFi connection after a short while/few minutes. I have to manually re-activate my network choosing it from the list of available networks, which works, again, only for a few minutes. Then it's like Groundhog Day every few minutes and the problem starts over again.
    Curious: the connection is never lost while surfing the internet with safari or factime.
    And - I don't ever have trouble with the iMac and non-apple laptop using the same Wi-Fi. This leads me to believe the WiFi-environment is stable. Since the iPad works fine while using Safari it seems like the iPad itself disconnects from my WiFi, and reconnects again when opening/using Safari. It feels like the iPad decides it is not neccessary to be connected to WiFi while using youtube-app and disconnects, but reconnects when using safari.I repeat myself.... I am frustrated!!!
    Looks like a settings or software issue to me, but I out of solutions?
    I tried the obvious:
    - iPad software is up to date
    - tried turning everything off / on (router, iPad...), restarted. 
    - went to the apple store, they gave me a new iPad, still the same trouble...
    Anyone able to help?
    thnx

    I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
    Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • "network connection lost" while installing Ovi Sto...

    I'm getting a "Network connection lost" error shortly after the installation of a downloaded app is started. The status bar gets to about 15% and then the installation is interrupted.
    I've tried using WiFi and non-WiFi connections, but the result remains the same.
    I've noticed other threads on this forum about a somewhat similar issue but no real solution appears in any of them.
    My N8-00 was upgraded to the Belle OS over the weekend and it caused most of the apps to be uninstalled. Now I'm trying to get them back but fail to do so because of the error.
    Are there any working solutions for this very annoying error?
    Or do i have to wait for Symbian Clara (or whatever name they give it) to be installed?

    Performing hard reset will set the phone to its default setting. You may have to check the settings of your phone again.  To define the your access points, go to settings> connectivity> settings> network destinations> Internet> options> new access point> Automatically check for available access point> yes. You can choose GPRS connection first and then run the same steps and then set up your WLAN.

  • "Connection lost" while updating phone software in...

    Good day.
    I got a notification on the Suite that there is a phone update (v11.40) for my Nokia C2-01. I wanted to upgrade my phone's software so I decided to go on with it.
    The backup phase is good, but later it said "Connection lost" during the installation.
    I canceled the installation, and when I turned on my C2-01, it shows "Test mode" on the screen. So I switched it off. Luckily after a few minutes I tried to switch it on again and the phone goes back to normal.
    What should I do to avoid this situation from happening again? I'm using version 3.6 of the software and I hope this won't happen in version 3.7. Thank you.

    Can you tell me the OS of the PC that you are using? You can try this troubleshooting and see if it will work:
    In Windows 7 and Windows Vista the reason for failure may be caused by windows trying to download and install additional conflicting device drivers during the update process.
    To disable windows device installation for the duration of the Nokia Suite process do to following:
    Access "Control Panel" and select "System and Security", and from there select "System"
    Next select "Advanced System Settings" and then the "Hardware" tab, and select "Device Installation Settings"
    From "Device Installation Settings", choose "No, let me choose what to do" and next select "Never install driver software from windows update"
    Click "Save Changes"
    After this process please try to run the Nokia Suite process again. You may need to manually connect to your device again using Nokia Suite's "Add New Device".
    Remember to enable the windows device driver settings after successfull installation.

  • Connection lost while scanning multiple pages

    When scanning multiple pages I keep getting an Errror message saying connection lost
    EVEN THOUGH: 
    I am connected via cable and both ends are securely in place.
    I am scanning 24 pages. Is there a limit to the number of pages the automatic doccument feeder accepts ?
    Single page Scans work fine.
    where am I going wrong ?

    Hi @babbles1 ,
    I see that you are experiencing issues when scanning multiple pages. I would like to help you out today.
    Is this the Laserjet M177fw model?  How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Most of the Laserjet ADF feeders can hold up to 35 pages at a time.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet. Try another USB port on the computer. Try another USB cable, just to rule that out.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

    Not quite sure from your post whether E71 still functional upon previous firmware and just fails to update every time that you try; if that is the case it may be easier to find another PC.

  • Connection lost while updating firmare - Crashed

    Hi,
    I own Nokia N95 8GB. I had the latest released version V30.0.018. My phone was very slow. I tried re-installing it once since I thought its because of too much of application installed.
    While software update was in progress, after 80-90% completion, my screen became white and the computer said, cannot find the phone. Tried all possibilities, and atlast had to disconnect the cable to try again.
    Now my phone does not boot at all.
    I removed the battery and waited for 20 minutes and tried hard-reset (green+star+3+powerbutton). I am getting only the white screen.
    Will my phone be restored? I am worried.
    Thanks,
    Benjamin Mark
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No worries!
    It worked at last. It just requires little patience. Re-run NSU and be still. True, it will take long time, since your screen is blacked out. But after a hour or two, it will start progressing.
    And, it worked for me and its fixed.
    Nokia should re-work on such things in the coming version.

  • Connection lost while downloading OS 10.4.8

    Twice now I have been trying to download the new version of OS...which is the OS 10.4.8. It gets to a certain point, about three to four hours of downloading and then I get a message that I have been disconnected.( I have one phone line)
    I have checked in my Prefs. to make sure that it says "never" when asked about how long I want the computer to shut down, unless, of course, I do it manually.
    The software update is 153 MB. I think it is a memory thing, maybe. I have 384MB SDRAM. I may have to have more. Just not sure...
    Maybe I need to download another version of 10.4 before the 10.4.8 ??
    Can anyone help me, and is this new update a MUST for my computer. If I have to have more memory, how much will it cost me. I have a laptop, about three years old. Thanks in advance for any help !!

    Hi again Kathee!
    Well it's good that everything seems to be under control...
    Some people purposely don't apply all the updates for different reasons. Personally I apply all of the updates usually right away...that's just me! It sounds like you installed Tiger from retail disks because you have 10.4. Just remember that there have been 8 OS updates (now 10.4.8) which you may or may not ever notice? It's just to keep in mind and yes coming from 10.4 you have to download the full update which is that 150+mb file you were mentioning. Actually, if you would read the details it would list all of the things that were updated...
    And DSL is often as cheap as dial-up these days...maybe it's a good excuse for an upgrade there???
    Thanks for the STAR!!! Reg

    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
