An error occured while preparing your information for transfer - does anyone know how to overcome this? I've followed the instructions on the programme and the error message comes up on the Hp

Migration Assistant Error Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred?

Hello, world.
A few days ago I replaced my the 97% full 100GB hard drive in my Dad's Core Duo 2.0GHz Macbook Pro with a 500GB but I received an ominous error at the end of the Migration Assistant transfer. Here are the steps I took:
1. Replaced physical drive.
2. Booted up from OS X Snow Leopard disc.
3. Formatted new drive as OS X Journaled using Disk Utility.
4. Installed OS X Snow Leopard on the new drive.
5. When prompted by OS X Installation, I selected transfer data from another volume.
6. Placed the old drive in an enclosure and connected via USB.
7. At this point I let Migration Assistant take over.
It took an hour and a half or more to transfer the data and everything SEEMS fine. However, at the end I received the following error message from Migration Assistant:
Errors and Warnings:
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal_info_block" could not be transferred
I have searched around but I've been unable to find any information on this. In other instances of these warnings, people seemed to be pointing the finger at moving from PowerPC macs to Intel Macs but this was Intel-->Intel.
I did find someone suggest one other thing in another thread:
"My reading of those error messages indicates that there's something wrong with the journaling files on the PB. I suggest that you disable and reenable it on the PB"
However, I do not know how to enable or disable journaling without reformatting the drive from scratch as journaled or non-journaled.
(post found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8675337#8675337)
Question: Should I be worried and does anyone know specifically what this error indicates? Is it possible that my dad's old hard drive was NOT formatted for journaling and MA was looking for these journal related files and unable to find them?
Thank you all in advance for your help,
Nick

What options did you select for Migration Assistant to transfer? For instance, did you select network & computer settings?
"Opt" sounds like the name of a folder, not a file type. On your 13" MacBook, do you have any folder by that name, especially in your home folder?
Also, have you run Disk Utility's *verify disk* check on the MacBook's drive?

Migration Assistant - Error Connecting to Network of sending MAC to new Mac

Migration Assistant - Error Connecting to Network of sending MAC to new Mac
So I doing the network Migration Assistant and its keeps giving me a ERROR connecting to Network of sending MAC to new MacBook Air... help...

The local path needs to be written as the "volumes". It's the Windows equivalent of using a Network Drive letter. If you have not set up the volume in the Mac Finder you will run into issues. DW was originally intended to have all files locally on your computer with a different testing server and different web server. The fact that you have the "d$" name suggests to me that these are Windows servers that are you connecting to. This article should help you map a drive that reconnects ( http://osxdaily.com/2012/05/04/automatically-connect-to-network-drive-mac-os-x/ ).
As far as the remote, for this DW should be allowing a network address because it is never assumed that the testing server is local on the computer. This may end up being a bug, but let's see if we can correct one problem at a time.

HT4796 migration assistant will not download to my XP pc, it says successful, then a window opens saying an error with only the option of QUIT

Using my iMac has been nothing but frustrating, out of the box and it works, yeah, plug in and power comes on...but then amatuerish tutorials, then try migrating data, phone support offered not help and a return call that somehow never made in the proposed 1 hour window.
All i want to do is migrate my data from pc to mac...but maybe i don't.

First on my pc,XP pro the Windows Migration Assistant says you have "successfully downloaded." Then I go to start>all programs>windows migration assistant. A single click and a Apple window appears with the two finder faces and displays the following message in total:
"An error occurred while preparing your information for transfer."
The Go Back option is grayed out, the only option I have is Quit.
This is all there is. Apple tech is preplexed after 2 hours. His solution is for me to purchase an auxiliray HD and call back.

HT4796 Migration Assistant Installation Error

When installing the migration assistant on a Windows 7 machine, I get an error that a DLL is missing causing the install to fail. Any ideas?

Try networking the 2 computers and copy the files over.

HT4796 Windows Migration Assistant Errors

I am trying to install the windows migration assistant from the apple website so I can move my files to my new mac, but I continually get a message that says it "Requires Microsoft .NET framework 3.5." But I know for a fact that I have version 4. Do you know how I can fix this?

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

HT4796 Migration assistant is telling me that it has lost connection with my Mac and to ensure they are on the same network. They are, and an ethernet cable is plugged into them. What do i do?

Migration Assistant has been running since yesterday evening. My Dell is now telling me that its trying to reconnect to my Mac and to ensure they are both using the same network. I have an Ethernet cable plugged in them and they are both on the same WiFi. What can I do?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

HT4796 migration assistant does not run on windows 8 pro

Migration Assistant did install without any error on my Vaio laptop running Windows 8 pro (Dutch version).
Howerver when started it says there's an (unspecified) error. What am I doing wrong? (Apple NOOB)

You didn't state how old you Win PC was, only that it was running Win 8. From talks with people I know that use Windows they would never upgrade a 4 year old PC to Win 8. Especially if it was already running Win 7.
So I, wrongly, Assumed you had a newer notebook that came with Win 8.
Right Content and Data (Like your PERSONAL files which is what I stated above) is the only thing that can be used on Mac from a Windows PC. No programs or settings can be carried over from a Windows PC to a Mac running OS X.
Good luck and all the best to you.

Well, thanks for your reply LowLuster. Although it wasn't helpful, it sure was interesting to hear that you know what content and data resided on my 'new' Sony Vaio. BTW: In my opinion a 4 year old laptop hardly is to be considered 'new'.

HT4796 migration assistant can't find my old PC

Migration Assistant Errors

So I'm using Migration Assistant to move from an older Intel dual core Macbook Pro to a new quad core Mac Pro. Both have 10.6.3 OS and all updates. The migration assistant pauses indefinitely and tells me there's a problem after about half an hour and says there might be a problem. After quitting, I see that there's a new user added on the new Mac Pro, but there are red minus signs next to all the folders, ad nothing in them. I'm using a Cat6 cable to connect them.

SQL Server Migration Assistant Error

I am trying to convert my access database to SQL Server 2008. I am running Access 2003 and am using the SQL Server Migration Assistant 2008. As soon as I try to import the current Access database I get the following error:
Access Object Collector error: Database
     Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Dao.DBEngineClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Dao._DBEngine'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00000021-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)).
     An error occurred while loading database content.
I am not really sure how to get past this. I found the DAO360.ddl file in program files/common files and in windows/servicepack files. I have reinstalled Access and also tried the other version of the migration assistant. At this point I am stuck. Any suggestions how to get beyond this barrier?
Thanks!

Hello Alberto,
I'm having the same problem. I registered the Dao360.dll as you suggested in your previous post.
There were several entries in the registry for this file.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\ is in the system path variable.
Vijay Patil from the SSMA Team has been looking at this issue for me and here is her last email.
I’m running XP PRO SP3, Access 2000 and SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
(From Vijay)
Hi Howard,
We have tried to migrate the .mdb which you have shared with Access 2000 and the migration was successful.
We are unable to replicate the same error at our end. There could be issue with the DAO file and so is the error which you have mentioned.
This could be one reason for the issue which you are facing.
Please check this below link for information on DAO

Thanks,

I’ve included the entries from the log for your review. Any and all suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I will supply any additional information you may require. Thank you for your time with this matter.
Best Regards
Howard

HT4796 Migration Assistant Issue - PC won't connect to Mac!!!

I have followed all instructions on conducting a migration and have been trying to do this for well over 3 hours. I have the migration assistant open on both computers and the Mac migration assistant displays the code that needs to correspond with what is displayed on my PC. Unfortunately, on the PC, it just continues to display the "waiting for Mac to connect" message forever and nothing happens. I am trying to move files from my old PC to my new Macbook Pro.
On my PC, the minute I plug in my ethernet cable it tries to connect and then it displays "limited or no connectivity". Its as though it is trying to connect to the internet, even though the wifi is up and functioning. I've clicked the "Repair" icon in the local area connection status and that tries to renew my IP address and ultimately fails to do that. I've tried creating other networks, rebooting, making my security ridiculously low allowing sharing of all files, etc.
HELP!!!!

Connect via Ethernet. That's much faster and more reliable than WIFI.
If you still can't find the backups, try repairing them, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

HT4796 Migration Assistant on my Windows XP PC!

New Macbook Pro, needing to migrate all my files from my old Windows XP PC laptop. Migration Assistant on my PC has finally loaded after copious updates, but won't run as the PC believes that Outlook Express is still running, when it's not!
Restarting doesn't work, Task Manager's processes show nothing for outlook express, but the migration assistant does show as running there. Apple support say the issue is related to Windows, so they can't help. I'm a bit miffed as Migration Assistant is an Apple product, but I suppose it is beyond their remit as the issue IS IN my PC (friggin' Bill Gates and Windows - I thought I was saying goodbye to them at last!). I have no external hard drive, and would be loathe to do this whole transfer manually anyway.
How do I get it to load up?

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.

HT4796 Migration Assistant

I am using migration assistant to move files from a Windows PC to my new iMAC. Baby steps. So far I moved my IT music over and my pictures. I found some of the music in ITunes, but cannot find where the pictures went. Suggestions?

It may have created a new user account. if this wasn't through SetUp assistant.
