Issues loading web pages on brand new machi after using migration assistant
ast week my old macbook pro died and i purchased a new 13" mbp. I brought it home the first day i bought it and just turned it on and started playing with it and the internet was blazing fast, no issues at all. I then brought it back to the apple store where they peformed a migration from my old hdd to my new macbook pro. I then took it back to my dorm and connected to the same exact internet and now i am having problems loading web pages. Sometimes the page will load on the first try (click) and other times it will hang there loading but never fully load the page, and if it does load somewhat certain things are missing from the page. So i have to click the link again, and again, and sometimes again for it to finally load correctly. I dont know what is wrong but i have a feeling it is files from my old system conflicting with new ones when it comes to loading web pages. Everything is up to date the OS and firefox and i am having the same issues in safari. Also my ipad and blackberry have no problem connecting to the wifi so that is not the issue. I really hope someone can help me out because this is really starting to drive me crazy.
First place to look is your System Preferences/Network DNS Server Settings ...
If you haven't been provided with any by college IT then use the ones suggested here:

Cannot use Creative Cloud in new Mac after using Migration Assistant
I used Migration Assistant to set up my new Mac (new computer is a Retina MacBookPro; so was old computer). I could not open any of my CC apps. When I open Creative Cloud Desktop App it is completely blank (no tabs for Apps, Fonts, Files, etc. -- No means of installing or updating apps). I uninstalled Creative Cloud and reinstalled (several times) but got the same results. I have also deleted all the Application Folders for CC apps that cam ever with Migration Assistant.
Any ideas?
ThanksMac migration does not always work with Cloud programs
Uninstall... run the Cleaner... Restart your computer... Reinstall

-using the cleaner after uninstalling and before reinstalling will usually help

Problems booting new iMac after using Migration Assistant
My new iMac is less than 24 hours old and I have hit a problem I have not encountered on any Mac I have owned in the last 17 years.
My iMac booted beautifully and I hooked up my firewire external hard-drive because I have a partition there that contains a working user account that I want to migrate to my new Mac. I booted Migration Assistant, followed the instructions and waited for all my software, documents, settings etc. to be transferred to the new machine. Migration Assistant hung and it hung the computer. I tried many times with the same result. The last time though my Mac booted and got to the login screen. I did have auto-login selected so I was surprised by this screen. No matter what I did I couldn't get any response so I rebooted and tried again. Same thing. So, I rebooted in safe mode. Once up and running I deleted the migrated account and rebooted. This time I got the default blue swirly background and nothing else and each time I reboot all I get is the background image and nothing else.
Help please?I have solved the problem. The issue was to do with StickyBrain v3.6 StickyBrain has a folder called OpenBase in the library/startupitems folder and this causes the problem. If you are a StickyBrain user and wish to continue using it after upgrading to an Intel Mac then you have to also upgrade to v4.0 of StickyBrain.
The issues regarding Migration Assistant remain unsolved but I am happy that my machine is now working properly again. In the end I ignored Migration Assistant and copied all my files and folders manually. At least I was able to say I was doing something really productive on my computer instead of just sitting in front of it with a trance like smile on my face! -
After using "migration assistant" from my old iMac to my new iMac, some tools stick while using Photoshop CS 6 Extended. My current operation system is 10.10 Yosemite. I was wondering if UN installing then RE installing CS 6 might solve the problem. If this is recommended, I would need complete instructions on doing this. I have there serial number for the product.
using migration assistant is problematic.
at this point yes, you should uninstall everything migrated, clean and then reinstall properly using the installation files.

Any ideas?

Started the transfer process from my old MacBook to a new MacBook pro using Migration assistant 12 hours ago. The screen says transferring your information. Moving about 270 GB using an Ethernet cable directly connected. Is this normal?
You can get a thunderbolt to firewire adapter. You can then get a firewire 400 to 800 cable and put the old computer in target mode. Then you can follow these instructions.

If your still having problems, or anyone else......
For future info, your in the wrong forum, your need the MBP area, this is the MacPRO area, no big deal, I can barely keep up with the M & B & P, etc...
Sounds like when it migrated over your old settings it may have gotten corrupted? It has been known to work if you were to just make another "Location" and just re-enter the information again and sometimes that will help. You might take it back to the store and see if it does it on their connection also. The silly person should have tested it first before letting you go.
Hope you got it fixed... -
IPhoto won't work on my OLD imac after using migration assistant to my new imac.
So I recently used migration assistant to transfer all of my documents, music, photos, etc. to my new imac which was purchased a month ago. I used an 800 firewire and the migration was successful and there seems to be not problems on the new computer. However I went on my old imac to load some new photos off of my iphone. Much to my dismay iphoto opened up with a window that said, "You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto." I don't recall ever using iPhoto on either of the computers during migration assistant aside from putting the old photos into iPhoto on the new computer. The old imac is a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and it still has iLife '06. So how would I go about fixing this? Should I update to iLife '11 or is there an easier way without using new software? Thank you!
Then that looks ver like you opened the Library on the old machine with the new iPhoto on the new machine, and it has now been updated to iPhoto 11.
Before deciding to update, make sure your machine can run the same version of iPhoto as the new machine.

Updating pages, iTunes after using migration assistant.
I recently used migration assistant as a data transfer, now I no longer have access to the 'stacks' documents, and when I open pages etc. it says I need to update it, even though I had installed them as a new app when I bought my computer... can anyone explain this to me.
Software updates are made available from time to time, and one may have been released for Pages since you bought your computer.

I'm attempting to migrate files, address book, maile, etc to my new Mac Mini using an external hard drive and Migration assistant. I followed the instructions on using Migration Assistant to do this but Migration Assistant is not seeing the external drive, which is displayed on my desktop
I've been chasing this problem all afternoon. I had to reformat my internal drive on my MBP and reinstall Mountain Lion Start up assistant wouldn't see my extrnal drive with the Time Machine files on it. After many tries, I skipped the restore there and let the system boot. I could see my external drive from Finder and the files looked OK. I was told to use Migration Assistant and it had the same problem.
I saw a hint on one of these posts that the icon that you see and is label Macintosh HD is actually your backup disk and it is telling you that it has a copy of your internal Macintosh HD. I went ahead and told it to continue and it started to restore my apps, settings, and documents. It's been going for a couple of hours, and is close to being done. I expect to see my old system restored when it is finished.
Wish that Apple would put some type of note that it is seeing the backup. That is most confusing and seems to be a problem for lots of users.
It's been a month or so since your post Did your get it to work? -
New MacBook Pro. Came with OS 10.7.4
Used Migration Assistant in initial set up
Safari crashes immediately on launch
System I migrated from, had Safari 6
Don't see any way to reload or to update Safari 6 on the new MBP
Software Update says all software on this computer is up to dateUpdating to Safari 6 for Lion may help.
Click here > Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
Then click the link posted by: gregoryfromcork
That will automatically download this file > Safari6Lion.pkg.download
Now quit Safari.
Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
Then restart your Mac, try Safari. -
Set up new email address before or after using migration assistant
I just purchased a new MacBook Air for my wife and I'll be using Migration assistant to transfer data from her old imac. She also wants me to set up a new email address on our mutual .me account. My question is:
should I set up the new email address before I transfer everything via migration assistant or can I do it afterwards? Will she be able to sync all her current contacts, calendar and email account when syncing/setting up a new email address?baltwo wrote:
I'd get an external, bootable FireWire enclosure, put the new HD into it, ensure it runs the MBP, and then swap.
One thing to consider going forward: the new MacBooks (annoyingly!) do not have a Firewire port, so it might be a good idea to consider dual Firewire & USB 2 external drives/enclosures for future purchases. It won't matter for this swap but it will help avoid buying something that can't be used with any new Macs that don't have Firewire.
An low cost alternative for those that just need a temporary way to mount an external drive for uses involving only Intel Macs are the newish bare-bones USB drive adaptors, such as the NewerTech USB 2.0 Universal Drive Adapter. The advantage to these gizmos, besides low cost, is that they work with both ATA & SATA drives. Some, like the NewerTech model, also support other devices, like some optical drives. -
Why is there no data on my new MacBook Pro after using Migration Assistant?
Last night I launched Migration Assistent between my MacBook to my MacBook Pro. It said it would take 12 hours so I left it over night. When it finished this morning it said that some files were not able to be transferred. But there is absolutely nothing on my new MacBook Pro. Why is that?
My TimeMachine backup disk has a cable that won't work with the new MacBook Pro so what other choice do I have to transfer data?epicsnow wrote:

My Mom's 2011 iMac is having issues loading web pages.
This past week my mother's iMac (2011) began having issues with the internet. She told me that whenever she ties to search for something on the internet, the reload bar in Safari constantly spins and takes forever to load (around 40 seconds).
We are using an Air Port Extreme router (2011 model), and my mom's iMac still has Snow Leopard (Mac OS X [10.6.8]) installed. The other computers in our house (a 2009 HP Touchsmart, a 2011 MacBook Pro, and a 2013 MacBook Pro) have no issue whatsoever. I recently had to restart the AirPort device in June due to issues, but it was fine for the last month up until Sunday, July 20th, 2014. The iMac is connected to the AirPort Wi-Fi network, but it's incredibly slow.
Is this problem happening because she hasn't updated her computer to OS X Mavericks?Try rebooting the modem and router and her iMac. If that doesn't help create a new network location Using network locations (Mac OS X v10.6 and later)
