Lion Migration hangs up

I acquired a new Macbook Pro laptop using 10.7.3. I have tried to use the Migration Assitant multiple times and it stops at 2 hours 7 minutes to go. Nothing ever seems to transfer.
I ran disk first aid and fixed a number of permission issues. Still it hangs up.
Tried to transfer files only and it seemed to run, but no files transfered.
I would like to download IDVD, Aperture, Word, Excell and Powerpoint but there seems to be no way to get files to transfer, any ideas?

Sounds like a directory problem on the old Mac. Did you run Repair Disk on it?
I have Aperture running now. But I'd like to get my address book, bookmarks for safari, and four applications moved if I can. I have got most everything running by manual reloading, good thing I don't subscribed to Apples idea of the cloud completely, without the DVDs of the programs I'd have been stuck.
Those are going to be difficult to do, as you'll have to copy into an existing user account (and why it's best to use Setup Assistant if possible).
For Address Book, you need to replace the entire ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder.
For Safari bookmarks, the ~/LIbrary/Safari/bookmarks.plist file.
Depending on what the 4 apps are, you may be able to just copy them, but that may or may not work. Your safest route is to reinstall them from the original discs.

As old as your iMac is, have you cleaned out the dust? Dust buildup can lead to over heating issues. Remove any and all things plugged into it including the power cord, Remove the RAM access grille. Vacuum all openings starting with the RAM access area (air intake). Vacuum all ports and plugs, DVD slot and the opening across the top of the rear of the body. Blow compressed air through all your openings and vacuum again to remove any dust you loosend. Reinstall the RAM grille. Plug in the keyboard and mouse if not blue tooth. Insert power cord...

Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear

Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear. Unresponsive to mouse or keyboard. Mac mini 2007. Touching power button briefly puts machine to sleep. Hitting key or wiggling mouse then wakes machine and logon proceeds normally. Has happened every time Lion has booted. Never had problems with SL. Fix needed!
TIA,
--Beman

Same issue here, not always but after entering logon password it will hang with the spinning icon. I have to power off then reboot.
Only since Lion upgrade!

Lion Migration Assistant

On my Snow Leopard I have a few programs that will not run under Lion. With the Lion Migration Assistant can I specify which programs to transfer to the new computer, or do they all have to transfer?

If the app has an installer, check to see it there's an uninstaller. If it doesn't, then usually a drag and drop suffices. Other places to look for components is /Library/Application Support/ and /Library/Caches/, each user's /Library/Application Support/, /Library/Caches/, and /Library/Preferences/. Just delete anything associated with the app or developer. Some say there are 3rd-party things that'll do that, such as AppZapper, but I've never messed with them. As I noted, my Lion installation has all the PPC apps and sundry pieces, but doesn't affect Lion's performance, so I'll just leave them in place. My boot volumes are about 100 GB, with less than 50 GB used.

Upgrade from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server hangs at configuring services...

I am running the Mac mini with snow leopard server 2.53 ghz 2GB of ram, 2x500GB hard drives, and have followed through the process to install Lion Server. The installation appears to be hung at the Configuring Services section of the setup process. I have left it for a couple of hours and nothing has progressed.
Should I leave it longer, hoping that it will work through the process (if in fact it is working through something)?
How long should this normally take?
As this is my work server, hosting mail, web, FTP, and file sharing, it is rather important to get it up and running as quickly as possible.
Any thoughts on how I can get it moving?
Hard power off of the Mac Mini reboots the machine, then proceeds back to the setup page, and then hangs on the same Configuring Services.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Lion Server Upgraders,
beware and proceed with caution.
Apple web site is naively optimistic on the upgrade process:
"To upgrade your Mac to OS X Lion, you don’t need to drive to a store, bring home a box, and install a bunch of discs. All you do is click the Mac App Store icon, buy Lion for $29.99, and your Mac does the rest. Just make sure you have what you need to download Lion to your Mac."
And then has a 3 step process...
This is completely miss leading.
Read this document first: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/lion_server_upgrading_migrating.pdf
It will make it readily apparent that moving from Snow Leopard Server to Lion is not going to be simple.
Having done this twice now.. I have found that:
1. Open Directory migration is a weak point. Lion & Snow Leopard Open Directory are not compatible, so if you have masters & replica then expect trouble. I have an unresolved issue trying to get a simple Lion Server to Lion Server Open Directory replica up and running. This compatibility seems to also cause migration to fail, as I found that all my local User/Groups transferred ok but non of the /127.0.0.1/LDAPv3 (Open Directory) ones did. This is a very important item, as all the mail accounts in dovecot use LDAP generated UID, so you have to be careful that you do not loose mail accounts.
2. Mail - your mail aliases will not transferred, so you will need to reapply the aliases.
3. Web Server Setup - This broke, under migration as I gather the entire Web serving tree has changed. In particular I had "Snow Leopard" Web Mail (which is based on Squirel) on my "Snow Leopard" Server and this is now dead...
4. Digital Certificates - I found that the valid (ie signed by trusted CA's) did not get migrated, so I had to re-imported my Digital Certificates. If you have paid for third party CA certificates then make sure you have got these copied somewhere, as if you loose them then you will likely need to go to your provider and get a certificate revocation and new certificate, which will cost you money!
Cheers,
Zebity.

OS X Lion Server hangs on install ("authenticating")

I'm trying to update my headless/keyboardless/mouseless Mac Mini Server (mid-2010) running OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard Server. I've been able to download Server.app from the App Store without problem, but when I run it, it asks for my admin password and hangs at the "Configuring Services" dialog with an "Authenticating" message in the bottom left corner. It appears to be hanging at this authentication bit.
WHAT I DID
Installed Lion.
Downloaded Lion Server from App Store.
Launched Server.app.
WHAT I EXPECTED
Lion Server to install.
WHAT HAPPENED
Hangs at "Configuring Services" dialog with an "Authenticating" message in bottom left corner.
Eventually times out with a "The request timed out" error message.
Help?

I had the same ""The request timed out" error message", with Mac mini server 2010 version.
I'm going to crazy for this strange bug.
It still can login OS succesfully, but the server app seemed something wrong on my system.
(Now, I can't login the Server even the correct password is entried)
You can see the Server app is not "INSTALLED" situation from the following photo.
but when I click "INSTALL" server app,
It didn't have any help if I choose Software Update frim Apple menu.
So I tried to delete the server app, the click "INSTALL" again,
such texts shown,
Since both Lion & Lion Server already purchased on 19 July,
I just click "Buy Both", I remembered it seemed both apps begin re-download,
but the Server app still not work, can't login anymore(my password unrecognized),
still "not INSTALLED" on Mac app store Purchase record,
Then I got another receipt from Apple, the purchase became double-counted.
After reporting the problem to Apple, refund was done.
But My Server.app was still in a very strange situation.....
I only tried re-install server.app but without whole system re-install in the above case,
maybe I will try to click "Buy Both" again,
try to Re-install the whole system later to see if the bug disappears.

Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion frequently hangs with spinning ball for 1 min while a page is loading, or while opening a new tab. No tabs useable

Firefox 18 on Mountain Lion. Frequently hangs for minutes with spinning ball, usually while a page is loading (status bar says "loading..." "waiting..."), but sometimes just while on the same page. Other tabs and windows are not useable, even though only one tab is waiting. I usually have 2-4 windows open with several tabs each. Behavior is no different in safe mode. This is making the browser unusable.
In the past this happened and I've reinstalled or created a new clean profile, but it always recurs.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

SQLSever2000 Migration hangs

I am trying to migrate sql2k database to O9i using OMWB 2.0.2.0.0

You have to put in Target Disk Mode the Mac from where you are going to transfer the files, in your case, the MacBook. After putting your MacBook in Target Disk Mode, the MacBook will only show a FireWire icon on the display.
Now, the MacBook Pro is detecting your MacBook's hard drive as an external drive, so you can do whatever you want. Migration Assistant will bring you the option to migrate from another hard drive, so it will detect your MacBook's hard drive and it will migrate your files from here. The same if you are trying to migrate the data from Setup Assistant.
To put the computer in Target Disk Mode, connect a FireWire cable and hold the T key while your computer is starting

Why is my Mountain Lion download hanging after 53 MB

I am trying to download Mountain Lion from the AppStore and am unable to complete the download. I have a MacBook Pro from early 2011 with OS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). I have done the partial download multiple times, trying to pause and resume as well as canceling and purchasing the app store item again. I have tried downloading while in Safe Mode. Each time the download runs fine up to the point where it reaches 53.25 MB and then it hangs. At that point it is frozen and doesn't restart no matter what I do. Does anybody have a similar problem? Does anybody have a solution?

Hi, I posted this reply on a similar discussion - this solved it for me...
I was also getting stuck at 53.25mb and tried several solutions on the forum.
A possible reason I have found is if you are (as I am) on BT Broadband using a 2-Wire Hub because there is apparently a 2GB download limit (not heard this of this before). I read this on MacRumors and that BT plan to release a firmware upgrade to sort the problem.
In the meantime I switched to another non-BT wireless network in the same building and hey presto the download is flying.
Haven't tried the hotspot shield solution.

Lion migration question

from windows 7 to lion i want to migrate.. i tried once and i see that it makes a new user... is there anyway to merge users from windows to mac?

The Windows Migration Assistant should handle all that for you. They should be in the new user account on the Mac. Log into the Mac account that was migrated and you should find everything in the Home folder.
See OS X Lion- About Windows Migration Assistant. Download it here: Windows Migration Assistant for Lion

Fresh install of Lion & migration from internal drive

Hello,
I recently did a fresh install of Lion 10.7.1 from a bootable DMG of Lion 10.7.1 I downloaded from the app store. Before I installed Lion I used disk utility from the installer to format my system drive in order to get a fresh install.
The installation went fine and I am now booted into 10.7.1.
I am trying to use Migration Assistant to migrate files over from a Time Machine backup that is on a separate internal hard drive in my Mac Pro. Unfortunatley MA does not recognize the drive as a source. The hard drive is visible to me in Finder, yet when I dig deep into the structure some of the folders are not accessible to me since I do not have read/write permission. I had to enable the permission for the drive initially but that does not cascade to the entire contents of the drive. I enabled root access in attempt to get around this didn't work.
Is my problem one of permissions or what else?
Thanks!

Try Lion Community and TimeMachine
http://www.apple.com/support/lion
http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine
Me, and I hope others, clone your system first! keep your drive you have even, as is, you may want or need 10.6.8 still. Format a new drive for Lion instead.
As for what TimeMachine holds and why Setup Assistant on first boot wouldn't import anything.... sorry.

Use Mountain Lion Migration Assistant to access Mavericks disks?

Hi,
Maybe this is a stupid question... I have a MacBook Air from work with Mountain Lion on it, and I wanted to use Migration Assistant to import files and settings from my personal Mac (also a MacBook Air). However, my personal computer (the source one) is running Mavericks.
I've connected the two computers with a Thunderbolt cable and booted my personal computer (the source) into target disk mode. The work computer (destination) recognizes the disks on my personal computer but when I run Migration Assistant, it won't bring up my source computer's hard drive.
Is this normal? I can't find any reference to whether it's possible to use Migration Assistant to migrate from a newer OS to an older one.

I don't think your Mac will let you transfer files from a different Mac with OS X Mavericks, because you can damage Mac OS X if you transfer apps and settings.
Instead, transfer your files with an external drive or connect both of them with a Thunderbolt cable (remember that it only works with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air), and put the Mac with Mavericks in Target Disk mode (hold the T key while your MacBook Air is starting up), so you can access to your Mavericks Mac's hard drive from the other MacBook
