  • 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?

    Would there be too many firewalls or virus protection to not allow the migration assistant to deploy... it's loaded on my Win. 7 laptop, but won't run so i can transfer files to my new imac. Thankyou for any suggestions.

  • Can't run Windows Migration assistant on Vista

    I downloaded Windows Migration Assistant to my computer, it has Windows Vista sp2 and when I click the file with the ".exe" termination, a mesage appears telling me that there's an error and something about a paralel configuration. I really wish you can help me because I want to move all my files to my new Mac ASAP.
    Thanks!

    Which files are which???
    That should be fairly apparent. Word, Excel, image and music files all have there own and different extensions. Not only that the owner of the computer should know where all those files are located on there older computer.
    With most Windows version by default all those files get stored in the My Documents or in the Documents folder on later version of of Windows, Vista and Win 7. Although on 7 and Vista there are separate folders for Music, Pictures and Downloads.
    That is if they have not placed them someplace else. Which for me I varely rarely use the default, OS selected, place to store my personal files, music and images and even if I do I move the My Documents and Documents folder to a different drive then where the OS is installed. I even do that on Mac. There is nothing in the OS X Documents folder or the Pictures or Music folder under Users on my Mac.
    The default location for all files is C:\Documents & Settings\User Name\My Document that is in Windows XP.
    On Win Vista or 7 it is C:\User\User Name\Documents.
    Maybe I'm wrong! I forget the majority of computer users have no idea where all there files are. They just know they are on their computer, somewhere.
    So I'm going to butt/bow out of this topic and suggest to the OP that he somehow get the Migration assistant working. And if he can't I would be hapy to assist in any way I can.
    In that vane try downloading the Windows Migration Assistant software again as I think the first time the file got corrupted.
    I think that you meant to reply to the OP rather than me, I am not trying to move any files, but thanks for the informaion.

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT4413 once windows migration is done to MAC, where did the files go and how do I transfer them or combine them (i.e. email, documents, etc.)

    Hello,
    I performed the Windows Migration from a Dell PC to my new MacBook Pro successfully.  It created a new user on my new notebook.  How do I transfer or combine my old files (that were migrated from my old PC) onto my notebook?  I have loaded Office for MAC 2011 on the new notebook and had Office 2007 on the old PC, so I would like to transfer email (outlook) and documents (word & excel).  As well as pictures, internet favorites and i-tunes.
    Thank you.

    Hi Niel,
    Sorry, I am not a techie and I am not very familiar with MAC (this is my first one).  Where exactly are the files I migrated my old PC?  How can you drag them from one home folder to another?  Not sure how to authenticate myself.
    Sorry for all the questions, but I am completely lost.
    Thank you.

    after transfering data froAm my pc to mac using windows migration assist, where do the data go to on my mac please?

    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.
