HT4796 Migration Assistant Results are where??

I completed the Windows Migration Assistant process - to transfer files from my PC to my Mac. When prompted with options to transfer I selected all, since it was not clear. I cannot find any of the files or photos frmo my PC on my MAC. Any helpful hints?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and drag the migrated home folder to the desktop. Alternatively, log into it, move items you want to transfer to /Users/Shared/, and from there to the other account's home folder.

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.

  • 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

    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.

  • HT4796 Migration assistant from PC to MAC

    My PC accidentally got shut down during migration, do I have to restart from the beginning or will it continue transferring where it left off.

    I recommend to delete all the files you don't need from your PC before using Migration Assistant. Those files will be transferred to your Mac and you will lose space.
    Then, you can open Windows Migration Assistant and start transferring files. In case that your Mac asks you for a password to log in after transferring, it's the same password as you had on the PC. If you didn't have any password, you have to set a password > http://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4101

  • HT4796 Migration assistant had stopped with 17 minutes to go

    Migrations assistant from windows laptop to my new Mac book Pro , mountain lion, has stopped with 17 minutes still to go! Any help appreciated. 

    I suspect it's failing due to two things, you didn't use Setup Assistant to Migrate and the eithernet connection. When you use Setup Assistant (this only runs when OS is turned on for the first time) that seems to be more reliable than MA. MA will create a second user account where Setup Assistant will make your new machine look just like the old one. Next many people that try using an ethernet cable have the same problem, why I have no idea.
    If you want to use SA you will need to reformat your HD and reinstall OS X and it will prompt you to migrate towards the end of the installation. If you just got the computer and don't have too much new stuff on it this may be something to think about.

  • HT4796 Migration Assistant SO NOT HELPFUL

    I cannot access the files I transferred using Migration Assistant.  I see the folder that got created during the process but the darned red circle with the "-" is there on every folder no  matter what I do.  I have given my main Mac ID Read & Write privileges.  I have tried to drag and drop the PC folder into my Mac folder.  Nothing is working.  I really thought Apple would have a simple and streamlined process.  This is NOT intuitive at all.  NONE of the Apple help links are helpful.  They explain how to use Migration Assistant but not how the heck to find the data once transferred.  Very frustrated new iMac owner.  Please advise.

    First thing to try is on the new machine that you transferred the files to, open your Applications folder, then the Utilities folder within it, and find Disk Utility.  Open Disk Utiltiy and Repair Permissions.

  • HT4796 Migration Assistant:  do I want everything?

    Do I let Migration Assistant move everything it shows (user accounts, applications, ect.)?

    There are NO apps on a windows computer that will work on a Mac. There is NO reason to import any user accounts. Why you have one on your Mac already.
    IMHO Migration Assistant is a POS and Should Not Be used. Just copy over your personal Files.

  • 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.

    How do you wire the ethernet cables?  This is from a novice.  Do they go through the router or directly between computers using Migration Assistant?

    Directly from one Mac to the other.

  • HT4796 Migration assistant stopped

    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.

  • HT4796 migration assistant not assisting?

    can someone make a suggestion on how to get mypc to link with imac so i can transfer files to imac.
    my PC reads"waiting for your mac to connect"

    You might want to consider manually transferring the files because some users have reported using Migration Assistant creates a new user account so the files aren't accessible by your current Mac user account. The link discusses how to do a manual transfer.
