HT4796 Hi, I am trying to migrate my data from a windows 7 enterprise machine to a new macbook air.
The two computers connect fine over the wifi network, but the mac only shows one user file - the administrator. There are no error messages.
It doesn't show mine (even though I am logged on as me on the PC laptop). I don't have a seperate administrator account beyonfd that which was set up by work IT Services when they set up the laptop - my own login is the administrator. How do I get it to recognise my user account?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks,
Stephen.
There may be useful information here from Apple.

I tried to migrate my files from my old G4 book to my new Macbook Air. It did not work properly and I want to restore the Air to its original settings. How do I do this?
You will need to use an external DVD drive to run the disc installer that came you your machine. You can also do it with another Mac using the Remote Install Max OS X app. Finely, if you have access to another computer, you could burn the install image on a USB thumb drive, boot from that, erase the drive and run the installer.

Migrate Data from External (non time machine) backup to new HD
I have a late 2007 iMac that HD went bad. Only 51 sectors were bad and I was able to Carbon Copy off 99% of the data onto an external drive. I have gotten a new HD installed and have restored the Lion OS. My question is, How do I migrate all of the data that I was able to save to new system so everything is there? For example, all of my saved emails, Pictures, desktop, etc, etc.
Thanks for any help that you can give.
P.S. I tried renaming the Applications and System folders out of the way, starting the new drive at a "T"arget drive on the iMac and then copying those two folders (What would copy) onto the new HD on the iMac ... unfortunately it didn't show any success.
Thanks again!Okay, I have finally completed the task that I set about trying to complete a week ago.
I reformatted the drive s instructed above as one partition of GUID Mac OS Journalled format.
I then wanted to clone my Time Machine back up hard drive to the new hard drive in Disk Utility. When I tried using the restore function, it would copy all the back-up's that had been created using "Backup", but would error out on the first app when copying the time machine backups.
Confused, I then tried Carbon Copy Cloner and it too errored out, but on the third app in the apps folder of the first time machine back up file.
Before giving up I tried to clone the hard drive using Super Duper!
11 hours later I now have a perfectly working cloned hard drive. I redirected my time machines to the new hard drive and it backed up to the correct folder as if nothing had changed. So all is good now and I just wanted to thank everyone for their advice.
Thanks.
PS. I have no idea why DU and CCC errored when copying... but at this point, I don't really care. It worked with Super Duper! -

my new Macbook Pro does not have idvd and my old one has, so would like to transfer my idvd from my old mac to my new one. Can i do that? and how? thanks.
Right, I finally managed to get it sorted out.
iCloud only accept version 3.0 vcards, and the one I was using were version 2.1 so that's why it wasn't picking it up. So the easy way to get that sorted out is, use a gmail account.
I know you don't wanna do it because you think it's too much hassle and stuff, but trust me it only takes 5 minutes and that's it.
1. Create a Gmail Account.
2. Export your Old VCard files to the Gmail Account.
3. Now Import them from Gmail to your PC again.
And, that's it, that's just makes the new imported version in 1 file contains your all contacts in version 3.0. Now you can just upload that on icloud and then sync it with your iphone.
That's what I did and it worked, and I am sure if you wanna replace this file in the Contacts folder under your User Account in Windows and then try to sync Contacts in Tunes, it should work, but as I said, I did it with iCloud and it worked for me. So aye, that's pretty much it. Phewwww..
Been searching for it for the whole day and it took 5 minutes in the end, badass...
Anyway, don't lose hope and always Google for everything! -

Hi, I recently purchased a new Macbook Air with OS X version 10.8.5. I am trying to migrate my data from my MacBook Air Late 2010. Anyone knows how I could connect them with wires? The 2010 MacBook Air has only two USA slots. Thanks for any help on this issue!
You can connect the USB2 to USB3 backwards compatible.

I can't migrate my data from my old pc to my new macbook pro
Hi,
I have been trying to migrate my data from my PC to my new mac but it always seems to fail.
At first, I would begin the migration assistant and then after a while the PC would just crash.
But then I finally thought I managed to get it working. It said that process was complete (on both the PC and mac), but there was no data on my computer and no music in my iTunes.
If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!!
PS I also have an Ethernet cable if that's of any use but I don't know how to use it.I suggest you stop using the Migrastion Assistant. Simple fact is, as you have found out, that it does not work most of the time and when it fdoes actuall transfer data it doesn't do it very well.
Just network the 2 computer together over your LAN and copy and past the files you want to move to the Mac.
Otr use an External drive, formatted either FAT32 or exFAT (doinig the formatting on the Windows PC) and then copy to the external from the Win PC and then copy from the external to the Mac.
You'll be happier. -
Urg req: Migration of data from 1 category to another - Error with 5 files
Gurus,
I am trying to migrate the data from one content category to another and it woks just fine with the standard sap report:DMS_RELOCATE_CONTENT.
We moved all the documents except 5 files, when we use the report for the DIR's the content server shuts down automatically.
I tried to read the file from SAP (CV03N) and the same thing happens. Can anyone pls suggest any solution for the issue. If we can atleast read the file we can check it into other content category manually but the challange here is to know what is causing the content server to be down.
Appreciate your suggestion ! !
//Madhav.Hi,
could it be that you have also raised a SAP support message on this issue? Because I remember this kind of scenario and I forwarded a support message to the Content Server experts some days ago. At the moment the Content Server development team is analysing the issue.
So if this is you message I would kindly ask you to wait for the reply of the development expert. Otherwise please tell me so I can update you with the findings too.
Best regards,

Error message trying to install adobe photoshop elements 4.0 on to my new macbook air
just tried installing previously purchased adobe photoshop elements 4.0 on to my new macbook air... it gave me an error and asked that i contact manufacturer... kinda cant wait til tomorrow... anyone out there that can help?
As I said in your other thread, PSE 4 has not been compatible with OS X since around 10.4. It will not install in 10.8. PSE 6 is the oldest version you can use. PSE 4 is a PPC application and 10.8 requires intel software.

I have a new Macbook Pro. Trying to migrate files etc from my Macbook Air using a Thunderbolt Cable between them.
I follow the directions but the two computers never "discover" each other - using a WiFi connection works but 70 hours is a rough deal.

Help! I am super frustrated.
I just bought a new Macbook Air running Mavericks. My old computer is a white macbook running 10.5.8. After much research I determined that in order to use migration assistant I needed to upgrade to Snow Leopard. I ordered the new disc from Apple, went out tonight and bought the SuperDrive in order to do the install (my disc drive no longer works on the old macbook) - and the SuperDrive is not compatible with the old macbook. ARGH! So for the moment migration assistant is out as I'd like to avoid going out and buying a second external disc drive.
I believe the only things I really need from the old computer are itunes, documents and photos/videos. I was able to enable home sharing and transfer itunes last night. I saved all documents to an external drive and have copied them over. Now all that remains is iphoto. Last night I copied the iphoto folder to an external drive and imported it into the pictures folder on my new macbook air. When I opened attempted to open them in iphoto, nothing happened - there were no photos - it wouldn't recognize them I guess. So I dragged it all to the trash and I'm back to square one.
Any ideas on how I can get my photos/videos onto this new computer?
And - is there anything I'm overlooking in terms of things that should be migrated to this new computer?
Please help. I don't really know what else to try. I just feel like there has to be a trick in the way that I export and then import iphoto that I'm overlooking. I've combed thru the support communities and just don't really know what else to try.Thanks for the advice on switching out the external drive. I ended up doing trying a wireless transfer last night while I was sleeping - and it seems to have worked.
So - no I have documents, photos, itunes, and contacts migrated over.
Is there anything that I'm not thinking of that I should try to get off of the old computer? I do have an old version of Adobe Photoshop Elements that would be nice to bring over - but I probably won't miss it if I can't. Is there a way to wirelessly move over an application? And - it looks like iMovie won't be able to transfer - I only have 3 movies on the old one - but I cannot highlight them when I tried to move them over. Should I consider those a loss?
Again - thanks for any and all help. Looks like I'm doing this by bits and pieces instead of with Migration Assistant. -
I have new MacBook Air. When I first got it, I migrated some of my files from my PC to the MacBook Air without any problems. Now I'm trying to migrate more files, music, etc. and I keep getting the continuous spining circle with "Looking for Other Computers." I've tried everything and for some reason it is not finding my PC. What am I doing wrong?
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
