Migration assistant has been stuck for at least 5 hours

I was transferring files on my G4 from 10.4.11 to my new 10.5 leopard and everything seemed ok.
Now, it's been stuck showing "transferring files from User Mary X-   1 hour, 13 minutes remaining"
and it's ben like that for at least 5 hours
anything I can/should do to help it along?

To be clear, it has said, "1 hr. 13 mins. to go" for the last 5+ hours ??__ indicating nothing is happening ??
Is this correct ??_____
"Different drives in the same Mac "
Are they on the same ribbon cable, as master and slave / cable select ?? ______  
Are they jumpered properly for each position ??______
Or do you have some other arrangement like one of the plugged into a card in a card slot ??______

    Don't do anything yet!
    Let it keep running until you know that you REALLY want to stop it. If you think the UPDATE is slow the ROLLBACK if you kill it may take much longer.
    Now - how do you plan to get it to 'run fast' when it is already running? If you do a ROLLBACK the time it takes to apply the UNDO could take even longer than the time it has taken to get this far with the update. And if you interrupt the ROLLBACK you will have to do a recovery from backup. Don't go there.
    Read the FAQ at the top of the thread list for how to post a tuning request and the info you need to provide. Some of that info is:
    1. Ask for help BEFORE you start running the query. Once you start you should usually just let it finish.
    2. Always provide your 4 digit Oracle version
    3. Provide table and index DDL
    4. Provide row counts for the table and for the query predicates
    5. Provide info about the exact command you used to collect stats and say if the stats are current

  • IHave an update that has been stuck for a month. Others have come in and been okay. It's stuck on installing. Have pressed and  pressed but nothing happens. Any help.

    Can anybody tell me how to unstick an update which has been like that for a month. It's says installing but won't budge.

    Have you tried any of these things?
    Tap the "installing" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. That might start the download again.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes. That could prevent the app from installing.
    You can also try deleting the installing app  - tap and hold down on the icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    If none of those things work for you, download the update in iTunes on your computer and then sync the app to your iPad.

  • Reader X failing on Save and Save As, after the form has been opened for  longer than an hour.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen or maybe can offer a solution. I have several Dynamic XML forms designed in LiveCycle ES2 v9 that since our ministry switched to Reader X have been failing. At first, the save button greys out (even though new information has been inputed) and the form will only save as. Then the save as function will start to fail if the form is left open.
    Our users are running Reader 10.1 on Windows Vista and so far its only users that have left it open longer than two hours, or over night. These forms have been Reader extended and at first save without issue.
    Unfortunately, just telling the users not to leave it open isn't an option. We just need Reader X to work.
    Thanks in advance for any information you can share about this.
    ~Connie

    Hi Kyle,
    Yes there is a lot of code within the forms. Mostly adding instances, and changing the presence on subforms. These particular forms do not have data connections, or execute any code from a server. The script all runs at the client level.
    I'm checking with the form content owners to see if I'm allowed to post any of them. If they give the okay then I'll put a sample up here.

  • IMessage has now not been working for at least 24 hours

    It won't let me send ANY IMessage messages to ANY of my iPhone contacts at all and having to send them as texts, it's been doing this for 24 hours, and I can't deal with it!please help :( it's getting frustrating, as now I've had arguments with people as they are wondering why I'm not replying as I have had no signal or no iMessage to be able to send.

    Thankyou for helping me, however I've woken up this morning and iMessage seems to be working again (touch wood!) hopefully it was just a glib, if it happens again I will try your method :) I've always been connected to wifi wherever I was or 3G at least.

    Without that Password you will not be able to re-activate it.
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    There is No workaround.

  • I got a new screen on my phone yesterday then half an hour later my phone turned now it has been off for the last 12 hours can someone help me?

    i got a new screen on my iphone 4 it had 35% battery left i can hear people ring but i cant do anything with it it happeed yesterday ive tried the on and off and snooze but still wont work any ideas anyone please?

    Hi,
         Yes i understand this but most electronics that fail, will fail during the very early stages of there life. It sounds like either the screen or one of it's associated components has failed again.
    Of the many screens i have changed i have had three dead out of the box and two failed within the first week of operation.
    They make them in huge numbers and work on a known failure rate for all screen panels large and small.
    Cheers!
