Migration assistant power PC G5 to macbook pro intel
Hi, my experience with migration was not plug and play but there's some tricks. First get to the desktop of your new computer. Choose a firewire cable (800 if possible for faster transfer) and connect the two mac together. Rebbot the old one holding «T». When you see the firewire sign on the monitor of the old mac, you're ready to rock! First, my primary disk didn't mouth on desktop, I change the firewire cable, nothing happen. You have to open disk utility (then my primary disk of the old G5 mount on the desktop) you repair the disk (all of them) and then you open the migration assistant. IT take a while before (6 minutes!) before the application is ready to process (like a pre-scan or something like that... so be patient.) I tranfer 80 GB in 40 minutes. I didn't transfer the applications however... It the only part you have to do manually (too much problems for me...) Finally, if you want transfer your apps anyway, get the xslimer apps that will remove every powerpc code useless for your intel. Hope it will help and enjoy the next generation of mac!

Used migration assistant to set up new Macbook pro from old macbook pro. Many "profile" problems.
Will not even open "System Preferences" for user whose profile info was transferred. (Will for "Administrator")
Cannot use Firefox or Thunderbird, profile missing.
Help???Launch the Console application by entering the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search, and look under "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to the application(s). Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report.

Migration assistant - start up problem on Macbook pro
I've just used migrate assitant to put programs onto a new laptop running Lion from my macbookpro running Snow leopard. Now on start up my old macbookpro just hangs (with the wheel of death!) showing my desk top background but nothing else? I"ve tried safe start but it only gets to the same position. Can anyone help?
The following support article is somewhat outdated. Where it refers to booting from an installation disc, you should boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at the chime.

How to migrate PowerBook G4 Tiger to new MacBook Pro 15" Lion via ethernet cable? Migration Assistant to old to update, apparently.
Ah, a Powerbook. I miss that. Anyways, I believe that the Powerbook G4 has an Firewire 400/800 port. Why don't you do that? It's fast, and you don't have to set up one of those funky reverse wire ethernet cables. I wouldn't use Migration Assistant, but that's just me. Too many issues. I'd start up your brand new MacBook Pro and during the setup assistant, it'll ask you to transfer data from an older Mac. Using firewire with a Target Disk Mode, it's pretty fast.
If you have already opened up your new Mac and are using it, then use Migration assistant, but also with the Firewire (preferably 800). -
I have chosen to fil migrate from old ibook to new MacBook Pro using Time Machine after establishing admin account. I now have two admin. accounts and wish to delete the later one and transfer files manually. I am worried I will loose both accounts. ??
Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

how do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though
A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro?
I am travelling to Europe next week and will be travelling on the road quite often. I would like to get some work done during that time. My laptop battery will inevitably run out of power during that time and I would like to carry an additional power source with me so I can get some extra juice when I am nowhere near an outlet.
I have the latest MacBook Pro where the battery is not removable.
Where can I get an additional power source for my MacBook Pro? I don't mind if it is a 3rd party product.you could get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-XP18000-Universal-External-Netbooks/dp/B002K8M9H C
it's about the same cost as an extra battery used to be. there's a range of similiar products at Amazon, i'd check reviews. -
My 2007 Macbook pro Intel Core 2 Duo Processor Speed 2.33 GHz has power issues with one or some of my USB powered devices. Last night I could not back up my Lacie external drives with software SuperDuper, hard drive copier. I also had a message that Time machine failed. I have two powered 12V USB
routers that are plugged into a 550VA CyberPower surge protector. I often receive these insufficient USB power for devices messages a dozen times even when I do not have devices like camera, Ipad, Ipod, and Tascam digital audio recorder plugged in. Is there a way to troubleshoot these USB routers or should I consider that one of the routers may be defective and replace them?

How do I fix the power button on my MacBook Pro?
How do I fix the power button on my MacBook Pro? Thanks to Apple, if you accidentally hit the power button with Mavericks, your downloading, ripping, burning, saving and any other process will be halted without completing. How do I fix this so this no longer happens?
Which os version are you using? Which model Macbook Pro do you have?
Does this article apply - MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues? The affected computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008. -

I have recently migrated data from Windows PC to Macbook Pro 13in.running Yosemite. On booting the macbook now the account with the migrated data can only be accessed via the Apple menu. Is this normal ?
Open the Users folder on the internal drive, drag all of the other home folders to the desktop, and then move the files inside to the desired locations.

How can I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air?
How do I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air? Can this be done only wirelessly?
No, you can transfer from a Mac wirelessly, wired ethernet, Thunderbolt or Firewire. Your older Mac must have the same connection, but you can use adaptors if necessary. For example, you can use an Ethernet cable with an Ethernet-Thunderbolt adaptor if your older Mac has an ethernet port.
Wireless tends to be pretty slow (can take many hours) so it's recommended to choose a wired connection whenever you can.

Is there no external power option for new MacBook pro with dual core?
Is there no external power option for a MacBook pro 17 with dual core. Apparently apple doesn't offer one and I can't ind any who does

Given that the stumbling block to more flexible power options is the infamous patent-protected MagSafe connector
The funny thing is, I've seen loads of cheap "replacement" MagSafe adapters on eBay, Amazon and in local shops. On eBay, they cost (new) about $26, on Amazon I've seen them as cheap as $17!!, against the $80 that Apple charges. And apparently, it's not worth it to pursue the matter, it's been going on for more than a year now.
made of pure unobtanium and guarded by packs of rabid lawyers, someone is shooting themselves in the foot by making the power bricks so frail that the secondary damaged goods recovery market grows without bounds...
I really dig that unobtainium reference :-)
What I've found is that the bricks aren't so frail but the DC cord is! Apparently that's difficult to make resilient, with the characteristics that Apple wanted them to have. Out of every ten broken MagSafe adapters I've seen, only two actually have failed electronics, five have frayed DC wiring and three have a broken MagSafe connector. -
Is this power supply (A1185 10.8 V, 55Wh) compatible with New White 60W 16.5V 3.65A Laptop AC Adapter Supply Magsafe Power Charger For Apple Macbook pro A1184 A1185
All of the A1181 polycarbonate MacBooks use the A1184 60W MagSafe power supply/charger and the A1185 battery. These are the Apple part numbers. Other manufacturers make equivalent replacement products, but the quality may not be acceptable.
