Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
By default, Migration Assistant creates a new user account where it puts all the transferred data. Just go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will be able to access to the transferred data.
If you want to merge the data into the first user account, use the Shared folder (it's in /Users/Shared) to put the transferred files there, and then, on the first user, go to the Shared folder and put all the data in the folders you want

You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

Hi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

HT4796 Can i use windows migration assistant to transfer files from a windows formatted hard drive to a mac?

I have a windows formatted hard drive and a macbook pro. I was wondering if i could use the windows migration assistant to transfer files from my hard drive to the mac

No.
Just connect the drive to your Mac. The Mac can read most Windows formats (it cannot WRITE Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) formatted drives.

Are you using wifi to migrate?

Windows Migration Assistant very slow via ethernet cable but after 36 hours .......

I am using Windows Migration Assistant to migrate from my 3 year old HP laptop running Windows 8 to a brand new iMac using an ethernet cable..
The pairing went well but, after 36 hours the laptop tells me there are 13 hors to go and iMac says 8 hours +. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Wi-Fi and Ethernet are very slow ways and I don't recommend to use them unless you have to transfer small sizes. If they are big, don't use it.
What you can do is to make a Time Machine backup on your old hard drive, so get an external drive to do it. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
After making the backup, connect the external drive to your new iMac and use Migration Assistant to restore your files. If you haven't set up your iMac yet, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore the backup.
You have to restart both iMacs before doing this, so migration will be stopped

Help Locating music files after transferring using Windows Migrartion Assistant

I am new to mac I just bought a new MacBook Pro Friday. I have an iPod, iPhone, and an, iPad that I need to get setup on my Mac. The way I have them setup on my Windows 7 PC is I can select wich iTunes library to open by pressing the shift key while clicking on the iTunes icon. My first question is can I set that up like that on the Mac as well? Also I used Windows Migrartion Assistant to transfer my music files from my windows 7 PC to my Mac after the transfer was finished I cannot locate the music files on the Mac anywhre. Can anyone help.

Apparently the old external drive is going bad. I turned it off and waited an hour or so and restarted it, and all my files were back. I have copied them to my PC hard drive to be safe. However, my iTunes is now totally screwed up. Although the music files are back where they were (for now), iTunes cannot find any songs except the few that were copied to the new drive when I did the consolidate. I tried the Consolidate Library again and it stops because it cannot find the files. Am I going to have to point iTunes to the location of every song, one at a time, for over 2800 songs?

HT4796 I am trying to copy my itunes library from my Vaio to my new iMac. Migration Assistant finished copying the music, but I can't find any of it and it isn't in iTunes. Help?

I just purchased my new iMac yesterday. I finally got Migration Assistant to transfer all of my music (around 65 GB), but ow it is nowhere to be found on the Mac and they have not been added to iTunes. Help?

In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

HT4796 Windows Migration Assistant

I bought a new MacBook Air 13 and had the data transferred from my old PC at the Apple Store. I'm giving the old PC to my husband and have been trying to "clean it up" a little first. Should I uninstall Windows Migration Assistant now?

It won't hurt. You can always re-load it if you find you need it again.

Migration Assistant - All of the files were not transferred

I transferred all the user files, settings and applications using migration assistant. I went from an intel iMac to a newer intel iMac. Snow Leopard to Lion. I checked everything in the migration assistant except for the iPhoto library of one of the users because it was too big for the main hard drive of the new computer. I copied it manually to the secondary hard drive.
At the end of the migration a window said that not all of the files were transferred and I should check to make sure I have everything I need. (I'm not sure the exact wording). Below that it said that a static IP was transferred and I should not have both the old computer and the new one on the network with the same IP.
Do you think it's just referring to the iPhoto library when it says all files were not transferred? Or could there be something else. Is there a log that I can look at that will tell me what might not have transferred?
As far at the IP thing, I changed the static IP on the new computer so that's fine.

Hard to say. I suggest that you peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and determine if you did things the right way.

HT4796 on my windows XP pro PC i opened windows migration assistant and the first message is: "Cannot start Outlook Express. The application can not initialize the storage. The computer doesn't have enough memory or your disk is full. (0x80007114)"

On my windows PC outlook express is NOT running and as far as i know, NOT installed.
How do I install Outlook Express??
I want to use my new Imac.....

Disk storage issues frequently happen if the hard disc is over 85% full. Make sure your trash can is emptied after backing up any files you want to keep elsewhere.

Only minimal email transferred via Windows Migration Assistant.

I just completed Windows Migration Assistant. The only email transferred (from Outlook and Win XP) was the Inbox and Trash (not Sent, not all my subfolders). Is this what's supposed to happen or was there a glitch? Documents transferred fine. Thanks!

Help viewer takes 5 minutes to launch after transferring data from ibook

I have bought an iMac and transferred my data from my old iBook G4 (Tiger) using the migration assistant. The iMac is running Tiger 10.4.11 as is the iBook.
When I launch the "Help Viewer" the beach ball starts spinning. Two messages appear one after the other a couple of times:
1. *AFP connection status* (in German: AFP-Verbindungsstatus) telling me that the iMac is searching for "yrib", which is the iBook's name and
2. *Connection failed* (in German: Verbindung fehlgeschlagen)
After about 5 minutes the help viewer's initial window shows finally!
What do I need to do so the help viewer does not take 5 minutes to launch?
thanx
ps.: if it was possible to insert images I could show the screenshots...

News, news!
thanx to BDAqua, but it still is not working!
Called apple, twice. Each time 45min. couldn't help! Now here's what I did and found out.
In Macintosh HD > Library I deleted the Preferences folder. And the "AFP" message didn't show, just 6 times the other one. Which turned my access to the help viewer down to 15 seconds!
Now the problem was that I couldn't get any access to the network. And I found out where the problem lies, just I can't solve it.
In Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration there is a file called
preferences.plist
If this file is not there (=deleted) I have access to the help viewer in 15 seconds, still needing to click 6 (it's exactly 6) times the OK button of the "Verbindung fehlgeschlagen" message.
If the file is there, it's the old game.
Anybody any idea?
I tried to figure out something using the "Property List Editor", but wasn't successful.
thanx

Black screen after transferring data to new Mac

I just migrated data to my new Mac from my old one using the Migration Assistant. The old Mac indicated the transfer was complete, but I can only see a black screen on the new Mac, even after turning it on and off.

The way the link in my last reply said:
Starting up in Safe Mode
Follow these steps to start up into Safe Mode.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be pressed as soon as possible after startup, but not before the startup sound.
Release the Shift key when you see the Apple logo appear on the screen.
After the Apple logo appears, it may take longer than usual to reach the login screen. This is because your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
