Migration Assistant Errors

So I'm using Migration Assistant to move from an older Intel dual core Macbook Pro to a new quad core Mac Pro. Both have 10.6.3 OS and all updates. The migration assistant pauses indefinitely and tells me there's a problem after about half an hour and says there might be a problem. After quitting, I see that there's a new user added on the new Mac Pro, but there are red minus signs next to all the folders, ad nothing in them. I'm using a Cat6 cable to connect them.

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.

Migration Assistant Error Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred?

Hello, world.
A few days ago I replaced my the 97% full 100GB hard drive in my Dad's Core Duo 2.0GHz Macbook Pro with a 500GB but I received an ominous error at the end of the Migration Assistant transfer. Here are the steps I took:
1. Replaced physical drive.
2. Booted up from OS X Snow Leopard disc.
3. Formatted new drive as OS X Journaled using Disk Utility.
4. Installed OS X Snow Leopard on the new drive.
5. When prompted by OS X Installation, I selected transfer data from another volume.
6. Placed the old drive in an enclosure and connected via USB.
7. At this point I let Migration Assistant take over.
It took an hour and a half or more to transfer the data and everything SEEMS fine. However, at the end I received the following error message from Migration Assistant:
Errors and Warnings:
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal" could not be transferred
- 2013-11-02 16:15:49 -0400 Some files from ".journal_info_block" could not be transferred
I have searched around but I've been unable to find any information on this. In other instances of these warnings, people seemed to be pointing the finger at moving from PowerPC macs to Intel Macs but this was Intel-->Intel.
I did find someone suggest one other thing in another thread:
"My reading of those error messages indicates that there's something wrong with the journaling files on the PB. I suggest that you disable and reenable it on the PB"
However, I do not know how to enable or disable journaling without reformatting the drive from scratch as journaled or non-journaled.
(post found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/8675337#8675337)
Question: Should I be worried and does anyone know specifically what this error indicates? Is it possible that my dad's old hard drive was NOT formatted for journaling and MA was looking for these journal related files and unable to find them?
Thank you all in advance for your help,
Nick

What options did you select for Migration Assistant to transfer? For instance, did you select network & computer settings?
"Opt" sounds like the name of a folder, not a file type. On your 13" MacBook, do you have any folder by that name, especially in your home folder?
Also, have you run Disk Utility's *verify disk* check on the MacBook's drive?

SQL Server Migration Assistant Error

I am trying to convert my access database to SQL Server 2008. I am running Access 2003 and am using the SQL Server Migration Assistant 2008. As soon as I try to import the current Access database I get the following error:
Access Object Collector error: Database
     Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Dao.DBEngineClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Dao._DBEngine'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{00000021-0000-0010-8000-00AA006D2EA4}' failed due to the following error: Error loading type library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY)).
     An error occurred while loading database content.
I am not really sure how to get past this. I found the DAO360.ddl file in program files/common files and in windows/servicepack files. I have reinstalled Access and also tried the other version of the migration assistant. At this point I am stuck. Any suggestions how to get beyond this barrier?
Thanks!

Hello Alberto,
I'm having the same problem. I registered the Dao360.dll as you suggested in your previous post.
There were several entries in the registry for this file.
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DAO\ is in the system path variable.
Vijay Patil from the SSMA Team has been looking at this issue for me and here is her last email.
I’m running XP PRO SP3, Access 2000 and SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition.
(From Vijay)
Hi Howard,
We have tried to migrate the .mdb which you have shared with Access 2000 and the migration was successful.
We are unable to replicate the same error at our end. There could be issue with the DAO file and so is the error which you have mentioned.
This could be one reason for the issue which you are facing.
Please check this below link for information on DAO

Thanks,
SSMA Team
I’ve included the entries from the log for your review. Any and all suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
I will supply any additional information you may require. Thank you for your time with this matter.
Best Regards
Howard

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.

Weird error message when trying to use migration assistant?

We gave my mom a Macbook Pro for Mother's Day. While trying to set it up for her using migration assistant pc to mac, her Dell kept coming up with an error message saying msidcrl40.dll is missing?? What the heck does that even mean? Needless to say migration assistant would not run on her computer. We're going to take it to the Apple store tomorrow but does anyone have a suggestion on how we can fix it ourselves so we don't have to head to the store? Can they even help us at the Apple store? I also wanted to them to help us with transfering her Quicken data from her Dell to iBank because I'm scared I'll mess it up.

You can't do that. Instead, just remove "aaa new-model" from the config then try to deploy it. Alternatively, you can try "merge mode," but that will send the whole config back to the device.

Error "The Connection Failed" in Time Machine, Migration Assistant and Restore From DVD

I am receiving this error when trying to connect to my Time Machine Backup in my Time capsule. I input the proper password to access my Time Capsule and It returns me to the screen with the caption "The connection failed" under the Time Capsule name in the "Select your Disk" screen. What would cause this error. I am connecting via WIFI (AirPort) and have full signal. I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8
I recently had my 1TB hard drive replaced and I am attempting to restore using Time Machine, migration assistant or from the startup dvd (tried multiple ways, no success). The initial setup of mac OSX 10.6 would not let me connect or other attempts after erasing hard drive and reinstalling OSX from disk.
Worked on it all weekend and don't have enough beer to drown the frustration, any help is appreciated.

You are correct TM is not at all easy to do a full restore.
To answer your question: Yes TM disk does show up in finder.
After my initial startup setup I was able to start TM and access all my previous backups. I migrated some files and was able grab the data from finder. Not satisfied with that I tried to do a restore to that previous date, to no success. I then erased the HD and reinstalled OSx and tried again from the setup screen. That didn't work, sulked over some beers. I then tired with Migration assistant...same result (more beer).
In starting TM after trying MA, only one backup was showing in the Star screen (today). None of my previous backups were showing. Since exiting TM it has been "Making Backup Disk Available" ( xGB of 6.29GB). Considering the size, I can only assume that these are my previous backups.
I have reviewed Pondini's posts, FAQs, and tutorials. I am a little scared to try and locate the drives through Terminal as in Pondini's TS #6 guide. If I can get my previous backups to show up, I will be happy with dragging files from Finder to restore my data and slowly work at restoring my settings/applications.

When starting the Migration Assistant on my pc, after a few seconds it says "An error occurred while preparating your information for transfer" what should i do ?

I'm trying to use migration assistant to transfer applications from my imac to macbook. Using either a firewire or network, as I'm waiting to select items to migrate, I receive an error message that "the application quit unexpectedly". My imac is newer.

I'm trying to use migration assistant to transfer applications from my newer imac to an older macbook (10.5.8). I keep getting an error message "application quit unexpectedly" as I'm waiting to select the items to migrate. I've tried using a firewire cable as well as just a network connection.
Thank you.

Here is some information:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
It mentions that migration is not supported with 10.4; now you said you have 10.5 - it may be the same problem. Besides, migration assistant will recognize an older system and move apps etc. over to a newer system - I'm not sure it will do the same thing in reverse.
And, there are a couple more problems: one is that your newer versions may not be backwards compatible with the old 10.5 and the second is that is you are trying to copy apps so you can use them on both, it most likely violates the SLA (unless you purchased them on MAS).
So, if none of those two apply, I'd simply try target disk mode (without the assistant) and drag over the apps.
