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 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?

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.

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

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 Are there any unanticipated problems in carrying out the procedure outlined for 'Windows Migration Assistant'?

Are there any unanticipated problems in carrying out the procedure outlined in the 'Windows Migration Assistant' instructions?

One I have seen mentioned a couple of times is it will set up an identical user account on the Mac, which has led to some problems.
I don't know how to fix this since I haven't used Windows since 1995.

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.

Lion Boot Camp Windows Migration Assistant Recovery

"Some features of Mac OS X Lion are not supported for the disk (volume name)" appears during installation"
The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, where further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified
Recovery HD is not needed to install and run OS X Lion
You won't have the on-disk utilities for disk repair
If you use Boot Camp, you can run Boot Camp Assistant after installing OS X Lion to create a new Boot Camp partition, then restore the data from the backup you made of your previous Boot Camp partition.
You can also use the OS X Lion installer from the Mac App Store to create an external bootable drive, complete with a Recovery HD partition. See this article for more details. (404 on lnk). Create Lion Recovery Drive

OS X Lion: About Windows Migration Assistant
Last Modified: July 20, 2011
Article: HT4796
Summary
With OS X Lion, you can migrate all of the information from your old Windows PC to your new Mac. Lion automatically transfers your contacts, calendars, and email accounts and puts them in the appropriate applications.
To migrate information from a PC to your Mac
Download to the Windows PC the Windows Migration Assistant installer from here. (broken link)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796
About Lion Recovery
What to do if the installer warns that no Recovery HD can be created
Some disk partition configurations may result in the OS X Lion installer reporting that it could not create a Recovery HD. In these situations, even if you are permitted to continue the install, you should quit the install and create an external, bootable OS X Lion hard drive with a Recovery HD, first. You will be able to return to the upgrade to OS X Lion on your computer's boot drive after creating the external Recovery HD.
Your storage device must have at least 13 GB available (after formatting) to install Lion and an Internet Restore partition.
Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
After the Recovery HD is finished starting up, you should see a desktop with a Mac OS X menu bar and a "Mac OS X Utilities" application window.

Hey alistairmck,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to know about Windows migration assistant requirements. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac
On your PC, Download Windows Migration Assistant , then open it.
Make sure both computers are turned on and connected to your wired or wireless network. If needed, you can use a single ethernet cable to create a simple network between the two computers.
Click Continue on the PC.
On your Mac, open Migration Assistant by clicking Launchpad in the Dock, and typing Migration Assistant in the search field.
When you're asked how you want to transfer your information, choose "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk".
Click Continue on your Mac.
When prompted, enter your name and password.
Click Continue to quit other applications. Other applications can't be open on your Mac during the transfer.
Select "From another Mac or PC".
Click Continue.
Once your PC appears in the Migration Assistant window of your Mac, click Continue.
On your PC you should see the passcode that was displayed on the Mac. Click Continue.
On your Mac, select the information you want to transfer to your Mac, then click Continue.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

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.
