Migration assistant freezes when trying to transfer from 10.6.6 to 10.6.5

New Macbook pro came with older version of Snow leopard than the one I'm running. How can i use migration assistant- it always freezes and will not allow me to copy apps and settings. Can you still transfer on initial setup.

If you want to go back to 10.6.5, reinstall from your install/restore disc, followed by running the 10.6.5 COMBO update. Don't use the Migration Assistant.

How to use Migration Assistant when trying to transfer from MacBook to a new iMac via Ethernet cable

I've been trying to transfer data from my MacBook to my new iMac via Ethernet cable and I get to the point of the transfer starting. Then on my iMac the Migration Assistant shuts down and takes me back to my desktop. Any ideas on why this keeps happening?

Start over, restoring the OS on the new machine, and follow the steps outlined in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide using the Setup Assistant.

320N Freezes when trying to transfer data over wifi

I have the 320N and I am very frusterated. I would just take it back, but I bought it brand new on Amazon.com, meaning I will have to pay shipping because I threw out the box and the return shipping form for RMA's! I don't even know if Amazon will take it back without that paperwork, but anyway here's the issue...
I don't have any N cards yet, but I upgraded to this router because my home internet service is faster than what my older WRT-54g could route. This new router does route and I can now achieve the rated speeds of my ISP (50/10 mbps).
I can transfer large files 6+ GB WIRED between any of the LAN ports on this device. However if I try to transfer much data over wifi, the router will simply stop working. The lights on the front work fine, they blink like there is activity, and the power LED is solid, but it won't pass traffic and the wifi SSID dissapears. I run a constant ping to the router (ping -t 192.168.1.1) and I get <1ms replies. On my laptop I initiate a download of a 1GB file which is shared in my windows 7 homegroup. Within a minute or two the constant ping to the router starts timing out. Internet access to anything (wired or wireless) instantly ceases. New introduced devices will not grab a DHCP address. Existing PC's whom already have their DHCP address can talk to each other only if wired. The wireless transmitter stops broadcasting the network and devices no longer see it on the airwaves. The only way to fix it is to power cycle it.
It doesn't even have to be a large file over wifi to transfer. Just now as I'm typing this post I noticed the constant ping on my other monitor started timing out. I power cycled the router in time for me to submit this post. In fact I had to do it three times in the time it took me to write this post. This is the most frustrating experience I've had with any wifi ap/router, and I play with Cisco gear at work that run real IOS.
Here's what I tried so far.
Reset factory defaults by holding in the rear reset button for over 30 seconds.
I can confirm this resets the defaults as the password and all other settings are back to default.
I tried WPA2 Personal. I tried WPA. Router still freezes.
I tried it with just the default settings. Router still freezes.
I've reset the router numerous times. Still freezes.
Power cycle it for more than a minute. Still freezes.
Reflash it with Linksys's latest firmware. Still freezes.
What do I do next? I have a feeling it's the same problem as in a lot of the HP Printer firmware boards. That problem is poor solder joints on the BGA processor connection. To fix that you put the formatter board in an oven at 400 degrees for 5 to 8 minutes. After that time you just let it cool to room temperature. The oven heats the poor solder joints enough so that it reseats and gets a better connection. There are hundreds of posts of success on this. I also hear that the solder connection problem exists for many of the older revision Xbox 360 game consoles causing the infamous "Red Ring of Death".
So do I try to fight with Amazon to take this back and eat the shipping?
Do I void my warranty, open the device up and put the board in the oven?
Do I buy another router from a closer store, but then put this one in the box and take it back?
Do I just cut my losses?
Do I just use this as a wired router (disable Wifi) and hook up my WRT-54g and make that act as just an access point?
Thanks for the advice.
Solved!

Ok I've had my replacement 320N for almost 1 full week now, and while at first it was fine, come Sunday it appears to freeze during heavy transfers. I was streaming an HD movie to the laptop connected to the TV. 3/4ths of the way through the movie it started skipping. What do you know, the whole network was down. No internet or anything. Power cycle the router and everything was back up. Needless to say, I finished the movie through the wired connection. The next day I tried copying 8GB of data wirelessly. The SSID vanished 1/3rd of the way in during the transfer.
What is wrong with this stuff? Linksys doesn't make things like they used to. This 320N is so cheaply made I don't think I could recommend it to anyone. I might see if I can send this back to Amazon and get a Netgear.

Ipod sync freezes when trying to sync from an external drive

I just bought a Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive (model # ST305004DA1E1-RK)because I was running out of space on my desktop. I have itunes set up on my desktop hard drive and my library set up on my external and the itunes works fine when listening and/or orgainizing my music, but when I plug in my ipod while the external is pluggged in I get a 'USB Device Not Recognized' warning. But if I unplug the external and re-plug in the ipod, itunes will recognize it. But if I re-plug in the hard drive and try to sync the ipod, it freezes up. I have tried to run the itunes software directly from the external drive, but I get the same 'USB Device Not Recognized' warning when I plug in the ipod while the external is still plugged in. Any thoughts?

As a test, try removing all USB devices except a standard keyboard and mouse, including any USB hub. Connect the hard drive and iPod directly to the computer. See if that works.
If it works, try to figure out which USB device makes it NOT work, treating any USB hub as a device.
If it still does not work, try using the Restore button in iTunes to see of that helps. This will erase the iPod and restore it to original settings.

Itunes freezes when trying to transfer songs to ipod

I attempted to sync my ipod to my itunes and it was going fine for the first 3000something songs and then itunes froze for a while, along with the rest of my comptuer. It wouldn't even allow me to force quit the program. After a few minutes, an error message popped up telling me that there was an error in attempting to coping my songs to the ipod and then it said "(-69)". I've tried to drag the songs on manually and in chunks. I thought it might have been a specific song that was messing up the transfer, so I didn't add the song at which the transfer stopped, but this didn't help.
Does anyone have any suggestions? my itunes did something similar (freezing for a bit and error message) when it says it's "determining gapless playback."
Thank you.

Hate when that happens. Just follow the steps in this article and it should fix it.
Good Luck,

HP LaserJet 1018 freezes when trying to print from Homegroup user

1. I have recently upgraded the OS on my laptop cumputer to Windows 7 SP-1 Ultimate to make it compatible with my desktop.
2. I run a ethernet/wireless network and I have 3 printers attached to the network:
(a) an HP 1018 attached to my desktop and have no problems printing from it;
(b) A second HP 1018 attached to a printserver (Belkin Home Base Control Center (Software version 1.0.0. SKUPTP Driver 3.3.8.0). The Belkin Control Center is attached to my network wirelessly. I have no problem printinting through this printer from my desktop. Nor did I have problems printing through this printserver when my laptop was running Vista Ultimate SP3;
(c) a Photosmart all-in-one C7280 printer attached to my network wirelessly. I have no problem printing from this printer either from my desktop OR my laptop regardless of operating system.
3. When my laptop was running Windows Vista Ultimate and my desktop was on Windows 7, the laptop was able to print through my desktop to the USB HP LaserJet 1018 as well as the HP LaserJet attached to the Belkin Home Base Control Center. At no time has my laptop had problems printing to the HP Photosmart printer.
4.When I upgraded my laptop's OS to Windows 7 SP1 and joined both the desktop and the laptop through homegroup networking, however, I have experienced the following problems:
(a) When the laptop attempts to print through the USB-connected HP LAserJet attached to my desktop, the action is recognised by both computers i.e., one computer printer status indicates that the print job is spooling to the USB printer; the printer indicater on my desktop indicates that the printjob is printing. However, nothing gets printed and the job is suspended.
When I try to cancel the printjob, both print status indicators tells me that the file is being deleted. However, it remains in that state even after a restart of both my computers.
I am unable to cancel the job -and unable to print directly from my host desktop computer- until I physically delete the print device, turn off the printer and restart the computer.
(b) The Belkin Home Base Center on my laptop recognises that the second HP laserJet printer is attached to it and will indicate the fact and ask me if I want to load the print driver. When I indicate yes, the laptop attempts to load the driver, but hangs up while doing so. When I cancel the request and proceed to load the print driver on my laptop directly, the device appears as "Unspecified" rather than a printer on my device manager and I am unable to print from either my laptop or my desktop. Again, I need to delete the devices from both my desktop and laptop and restart just so that I can print from my desktop.
4. As indicated above, printing to and through my Photosmart C7280 wireless printer is fine whether I try from my desktop or laptop. Also, I am able to use my Cannon LiDe 500F scanner, that is also attached to the Belkin Home Base Center from both the desktop and laptop.
SUMMARY:
1. HP LaserJet 1018 printers can be shared between a desktop running Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate and a laptop running Vista SP3 Ultimate on a local network.
2. The Windows 7 desktop and the Vista laptop can both share an HP 1018 printer attached to a Belkin Home Base Center printserver
3. When the laptop is upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate and joined to the desktop through Homegroup networking, the laptop can no longer print through the HP1018 printer attached to the desktop, and any attempts to do so will freeze the printer so that not even the desktop can use it unless the device is removed and restarted on the desktop.
4. Both the desktop and laptop computers can communicate with the Belkin Home Base Center printserver and activate a Cannon scanner also attached to this printserver. The desktop can also print through a second HP 1018 printer attached to this printserver. However, when the laptop attempts to print through the printserver, the print job freezes on both the desktop and laptop computers.
5. Regardless of operating system or method of being networked, both the desktop and the laptop are able to print through a Photosmart C7280 printer.
What appears to be the incompatibility between HP LaserJet 1018 printers and Homegroup networking, and how can it be resolved?

Hello computerdude100, welcome to the forums
I read through your post about the issues you have been having since changing your router to the Linksys WRT1900AC. From how you are describing it, the printer itself seems okay without the new router, as your previous router setup worked fine and a the local connection to your computer works fine. The hardware is proving out to be okay.
I do recommend contacting Linksys to see if they can configure the settings for you as it is not communicating with the printer.

Why does my photosmart 7510 freeze when trying to print from Sudoku app?

I have had my Photosmart 7510 printer for about a week now and am generally very pleased with it. However, whenever I try to print a Sudoku from the Sudoku App the printer screen freezes and the only way to get the printer working again is to switch it off and on. All in all, I have tried this about 20 times over several days and it froze every time apart from ONCE where it worked fine. Any ideas please? I have tried deleting and re-adding the app as well as disabling and re-enabling web services. Othe apps that I have tried seem to work perfectly. Thanks.

Hello,
How are you connected to the printer, USB or wireless?

MSI NF980-G65 freezes when trying to boot from disc

I just recently purchased and received an MSI NF980-G65 motherboard to work with my AMD Phenom II x6 1055T, but sadly I have had nothing but trouble.
So far the motherboard posts its bios and has the ability to detect any (and all) of my hard drives when I have them plugged in. The hard drive that has Windows installed on it currently informs me that I need to put in my Windows disc and run the repair utility, which makes sense since I was using a completely different motherboard and CPU before.
It is when I try to press any key to boot from disc that the problem arises. When I press a key on my keyboard while that prompt is on screen, the cursor jumps as if I had hit the tab key and does nothing further.
I have a total of three copies of Windows 7 at my disposal to use, two are DVDs I had burned from using my student discount to get them, and one set (32-bit and 64-bit) were in a retail copy of home premium, all of the discs performed the same action. I had tried using different SATA cables, different power adapters, and even different DVD players to try and remedy the situation.
The hard drive with windows is an IDE hard drive, but I have tried my other SATA hard drives just to be sure, none of which fixed the problem.
I have heard briefly about m-flash, but as far as I can tell, it would appear this new motherboard did come with the latest bios version (1.4).

For the boot, I have tried both setting up the DVD player as the initial boot, and I have tried just selecting it in the boot menu.
As per the posting guide, here are more specific information:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 2.8 GHz, 9.0 MB Total Cache, AM3 Socket
Motherboard: MSI NF980-G65 v. 1.2 bios (I'm going to try and flash this to a later now, I didn't know where to look for it before) , 601-7612-010B1004183389
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2gb x 1 until I get this working, then it will be x4
Power Supply: Tagan BZ Series 700W
DVD: Samsung SH-S223 DVD burner with Lightscribe
HDD: Western Digital 250GB IDE drive

IPhoto 09 freezes when trying to update from 08 library

Working on my parents' iMac G4. Running Leopard, updated to iLife 09 (which is compatible, except for iMovie per Apple page). I started iPhoto 09 and it indicates the library needs to be updated.
the first few times I ran this, it froze with 38 minutes remaining. After a couple tries, I went into Users/Preferences and removed the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file. It then got farther along and now freezes at 8 minutes remaining.
I am not sure what the problem is or if there is a fix. Not too worried about the photos themselves--have time machine running, etc. This should be working. Any help?

The most likely cause is the app is meeting a damaged or corrupt file in the updating process. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Macbook pro (2009) Freezes when trying to wake from sleep

Hey guys,
Since the 10.5.8 update my Macbook wont wake from sleep and i have restart it with the power button. The Macbook is totally frozen: the keyboard doesnt respond (caps button light wont go on and etc.) and my external monitor wont come on either.

-Started up with all the magic keys combos (PRAM and SCM or whatever)
-Tried the fix where you need to (re)enable the ethernet port
-Set sleephibernate mode to 0
Can anyone help me with this?

MacBook Pro Locks Up (freezes) when trying to import from iPhone6

I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) with the latest OS on it. Recently (regrettably) I did the update for Photos. First of all Photos is terrible compared to iPhoto. The layout and everything is just terrible. The worst is that as soon as I plug in my iPhone 6plus to import photos, everything locks up - totally freezes and the screen even goes black.
How I undo the Photos update and continue with iPhoto without losing anything?
Thanks

Upgraded to 10.5 on windows 7. now itunes freezes when trying to download old apps. any solutions?

10.5 upgrade erased apps & books from ipad. itunes freezes when trying to download from windows 7 computer. Any suggestions?

I am using Window Vista 32bit and have the same problem. After trying uninstall, reinstall, ccclean registry, over and over again and still cannot install itune 10.5. And finally concluded that this might be a registry corruption problem. The following steps is what I did to fix the registry isssue and get my itune 10.5 installed.
- Run Window update - and check the history file, if you see some failures in previous updates, there is something wrong with the registry.
- un-install all the apple related software (itune, safari, boujour, apple update, etc).
- For Vista 32bit, go to the following link and run the script to clean up the registry. I am not sure if other WIndow OS will work or not.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error-8000FFFF
- run the Fix-it script. you have to select the Agressive mode (even thou the pop up window advise not to do this) in order to clean up the registry. When I try without checking the box, and it did not fix the problem.
- reboot PC
- Run window update. It will discover a lot of old updates that need to be installed (I suspect that the fix it script delete a lot of stuff in the registry and removed previous updates). I got 53 updates that need to install.
- run the update and wait for a longtime (mine took ~2 hours).
- reboot PC
- run cccleaner
- reboot PC
- install itune 10.5
Now it works. Hopefully other window OS has similar step to fix this. I can only say it works for me using window Vista 32bit. and so far, my PC works correctly.

It sounds like you're trying to replace a home folder. Replace the contents of the folder instead, or use Migration Assistant.
