Migration Assistant seems unstable under Mavericks

Anybody know why Migration Assistant woudl be so unstable under Mavericks.  The app craoks on one of the two macbooks I'm trying to work with.

SOLVED!
In case anyone stumbles upon this and is wondering what I did:
My hypothesis was correct - waaayyyy over thinking it.
I installed BOOT 2 DRIVE, swapping out the old BOOT 1 DRIVE. Then I renamed the new account to the same name as my previous account, users -> advanced options -> and pointed to the same home folder on USER DRIVE.
DONE
Initially, I made a new account and screwed things up a bit - after reading the post of the above, understood that the new user account should have the same UID as the previous one....
Anyway, all good now - happy camper.

  • HT204350 Migration assistant in OS X Mavericks cannot find Time Machine disk

    Well, the title says it all. My old Mountain Lion MacBook Pro had a harddrive crash and now I have installed a brand new SSD in it. It was not possible to use the Time Machine to restore the old system to the new disk during installation. So I thought, maybe it will work better after the basic system is installed. Nope. I can still activate Time Machine, but I can't regress even a single folder. And if I open the Migration Assistant it all goes well until I choose to use a Time Machine disk and then it just does not find any disk to use.
    Of all the things you would expect from a specialised backup utility is that it should be possible to use for restoring a computer. If it isn't then why the **** have I been saving **** to it? I could have used the disk for a plain copy backup, a backup I could use.
    I have seen a hundred of these threads when trying to find an answer. Has anyone found something that works? Has ******* Apple ******* fixed the problem somewhere?

    In the sidebar of a Finder window, select the icon representing your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) At the top level of the volume are folders with these names, among others:
    Applications
    Library
    System
    Enter Time Machine and select the most recent snapshot, which is behind the frontmost window. Are those folders present in the snapshot?

  • Migration Assistant seems to be hung, cancel?

    I ran the Migration Assistant on my New MBP, connected old MBP to it via FireWire, told it to migrate everything. The progress bar ran through counting down about 45 minutes or so, then got to the point of saying Less than a minute remaining with the barber pole bar. It's been saying that for about a half hour or more now, but the stripes are still moving across.
    Should I quit and start over, or should I let it run?
    (Both machines have the latest updates)

    Update
    After monitoring Get Info on the internal drive, it appears data is still being written to the drive. So perhaps it is Migration Assistant's status window that is incorrect (ie there is still way more than a minute remaining).
    There should be about 12 GBs left to transfer, so I'll see if I have a fully migrated box by then.

  • Migration Assistant - Seems to be frozen?

    Hey! I just received my new Macbook Pro 15.4" to replace my old Macbook Pro that I got in Summer 2007. I'm running the Migration Assistant now and have gotten everything to work - it recognized the firewire and is in the middle of migrating now...but it has been stuck on Transferring Your Applications Folder - 20 minutes remaining for over 45 minutes. Both computers are currently running Leopard.
    I'm worried about stopping it and starting over and am not sure what to do. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks!

    Be patient. You don't indicate how much stuff's on the old MBP, but that should give you some indication. Normal migration from a 30 GB installation should take about 30-40 minutes. If yours is significantly larger, then this should give you a ball park figure.

  • Migration Assistant seems to have locked files upon return

    I just restored my computers from my Time Machine using Migration Assistant. But now when I go to open documents and folders, I'm told I can open as read only or not at all 'because I don't have enough permissions'. Short of going into Info for each file and resetting myself as admin-read and write, how do I get my access back to the admin level for the tens of thousands of files I have?

    intinstr wrote:
    I'm listed as the Admin and that is who I sign in as.
    that's irrelevant. what's relevant is the NAME of the user you are logged into.
    I have also set up one other account as Admin as well - but when everything migrated back, I had a THIRD Admin as a variation of my name and a former folder that is now suddenly called an account with 'Standard' permissions.
    yes, of course. as i said, the Migration Assistant migrated that user from the TM drive. it can not merge users so it made a new one. you can make it admin if you wish in system preferences->accounts.
    That is why I'm confused as to why I don't automatically have access to my files.
    As I said, files belong to users. every user has its own home directory (located in /Users folder) with its own Desktop, Documents, Downloads etc. when you are logged as a particular user you see that user's desktop etc. you need to decide which user you want to keep as your main user (probably the migrated one) and use only that user. maybe you should get rid of the other users to avoid confusion.
    Move all data files (like the stuff in the Documents folder or in the Desktop folder) of those other users to the main user's home directory first.

  • How to use Migration Assistant from OS 10.7.5 mac to new mac Maverick?

    Got a new imac.  I'm trying to use Migration assistant from my non-Maverick imac to the new one.  I'm told that I have to update my former mac, but it's too old to update to Maverick.
    So, how can I use Migration Assitant to transfer files?
    Thank you.

    The easiest method is to use the Time Machine backup from your old computer and connect it to the new machine. Then launch Migration Assistant on the new machine and use the TM backup HD to migrate to the new machine. DO NOT do this wirelessly, your profile indicates you have a Time Capsule, if you use that for your TM backup then connect it via eithernet to  your new iMac to do the migration.

  • Migration Assistant fails after showing 157 KB or 0 KB to transfer

    I spent 4 days trying to get OS X Migration Assistant to successfully migrate between two desktop machines, both running Mavericks 10.9.3.
    The two machines were connected by an ethernet cable, and all migrations would fail after 16-24 hours, with the progress bar stalling out at "Less than one minute remaining".
    Before every failed transfer, Migration Assistant would inaccurately show "157 KB selected" for transfer if the "Computer & Network Settings" option was checked, or "0 KB selected" for transfer if only the "Applications" or "Documents & Data" options were checked.
    I finally realized that the migrations were failing because I was opening and clicking through Migration Assistant on both the source and target machines at around the same time.
    The eventual solution was to open Migration Assistant on the source machine first, and click through as far as I could until the source machine was actively looking for other machines on the network.
    As long as I waited until then to open Migration Assistant on the target machine, it would correctly calculate the size of the files to be transferred and the migration would succeed.
    So, the order in which you open Migration Assistant seems to make a big difference: source first, then target.
    My problem is solved, but only after several days of hassle, so I wanted to post this in case other people had a similar issue.
    (I tried many suggested fixes that did not work, included reinstalling OS X on the target machine, running disk repair and fixing permissions on both source and target, changing file sharing on the source machine to include the whole drive, trying to migrate Applications and Documents & Data separately, turning off wifi before the transfer, etc.)

    Thanks for posting this.  I was having the same problem.  You saved me hours, maybe days, of frustration!

  • Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

    So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server.  In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers.  The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases.  There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
    Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?  Are there any details that are particularly important to get right?  Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
    There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course.  I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them.  That would complicate such an approach.  I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

    yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
    OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
    i do not recall having any problems with it.

  • Migration Assistant iMac & Power Mac G4

    I'm new to Macs so I don't know if these are stupid question. My sister just bought a refurbished iMac Intel Core 2 Duo (still in box) to replace a dying Power Mac G4 (PowerPC). Can Migration Assistant be used for the following:
    * Transfer applications (since the CPUs are different)?
    * Transfer data via network or do I need Firewire cable?
    TIA

    Well I completed the Setup/Migration Assistant yesterday so I thought I'd report my experience.
    After verifying that the firmware of the G4 was up to specs for the transfer I powered up the iMac. When I got to the Setup Assistant, I followed the instructions but after connecting the firewire cable, the iMac couldn't connect to the G4. I tried various ports, but without success.
    I then realized that about a year ago my sister said that she was having problems with her Firewire ports and wanted me to install a firewire card that she bought.
    I tried to use the ports from the addon card but that didn't work with Setup Assistant either. I moved the cable back to the built-in port and suddenly Setup Assistant recognized the G4, saying "A FireWire connection was established". Hmmm....
    So I continued on. It shows the "Transfer your information" screen and at the bottom it says that it's "Calculating". It sits there for a while, but I wait. After 15 minutes I google and find a post of someone who was stuck at the same point.
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12106549
    After two hours I try restarting by clicking "Go Back" (I'm wary of shutting down and powering back up worried that I might not get back to Setup Assistant). I have problems getting connected with FireWire again. I'm frustrated...
    I then try the "Use Ethernet" button and connect the two computers with an Ethernet cable. But then it says that I need the OS X Install Disc for the G4 and install the "DVD or CD Sharing Setup software". After a long search I find what I think is the correct DVD.
    The instruction is a bit confusing. Step 2 it says to Open Migration Assistant (on G4) under the Utilities Folder. It's already there, so do I have to install the "Sharing Setup" software?
    I bypass the installation and just run Migration Assistant (though the installation DVD is in the drive). I enter the passcode that is displayed on the new iMac. It seems to be working. It again shows the "Transfer your information" screen and displays "Calculating" at the bottom. But after a few minutes it shows the list of things to transfer!!!!
    I select all items to transfer and start it off. After about 6 hours, about 90 GB was transferred.
    So my take is, Setup Assistant works fine with a network cable. Perhaps it's slower, but it does work.

  • Manual Migration vs. Migration Assistant

    I am finally going to upgrade my Mac Pro to Mavericks. It is currently running SL 10.6.8. I will definitely perform a clean install and then reinstall all applications manually. But I can't decide if I should use the Migration Assistant to move my data over or if I should do it all manually.
    Reason for a completely manual migration:
    A clean start. My system currently contains over a decade's worth of clutter. My user library folder is several hundred GB in size and I have no idea what most of the stuff in there is. It's a mess and it doesn't feel right.
    Reason for using migration assistant:
    It basically guarantees that nothing important is forgotten and - more importantly - it automatically takes care of stuff that can be very troublesome to transfer manually, like Mail data for example. The Migration Assistant seems safer in this regard than a completely manual migration.
    What do you think?

    I would use neither of those, and use Setup Assistant instead. Setup Assistant is available right after you boot up from your newly upgraded system; it asks you if you want to transfer your data over. Answer yes. It will be quick and easy. Answering no and attempting to do it later, whether by Migration Assistant or by manual copying, is usually a mistake in my experience.

  • HT4796 can i use migration assistant from one windows laptop to another

    I need to set up iTunes on a new laptop but I don't know how to do it. Migration assistant seems to be only from a windows p.c. to a mac laptop. I want to transfer all my music from old (vista) to new (7). Can I do this?

    No.  Migration Assistant only works when using OS X on one of the computers.  You would have to ask Microsoft Support.
    Hope this helps

  • Migration Assistant is broken in 10.9.1

    I've just tried setting up my new rMBP using Migration Assistant. Migration Assistant said the new Mac needs to be updated to 10.9.1, which I do. rMBP restarts. Run Migration Assistant on both Macs again. Migration Assistant crashes on both Macs. I then try using a Time Machine backup for the migration. This time, Migration Assistant doesn't see the Time Machine disk. I'm intrigued because Time Machine worked on 10.9, but with the 10.9.1 update appears that the update has broken Migration Assistant.
    I rerun the process on my Mac mini and same thing happens.
    This is rather frustrating, but seems to be part of a continuing trend of software companies releasing software and updates that are obviously unfinished.
    Has anyone else had this issue?

    Just back home from a follow-up visit to the Genius Bar on this migration issue (from MacBook Air to new MacBook Pro).
    Previous efforts to migrate had taken endless hours and seemed to hang at the 20-mins-remaining mark.
    At the store, even after we manually turned off WiFi before connecting the Thunderbolt cable, Migration Assistant seemed to turn WiFi back on and start the migration over WiFi. 
    In the end, we used the Air (source) in Target Disk mode, which forced the computers to use the Thunderbolt cable.  Migration took a little over half an hour, as opposed to 12 hours or more that Migration Assistant was saying earlier when apparently trying to use WiFi.

  • Migration Assistant does not work.

    I just purchased a new MB (OS X 10.6.5), and would like to use Migration Assistant to transfer all the files and users, along with preferences from my iMac (OS X 10.4.11) to my new MB.
    Now, it appears that I have option: transfer via FireWire, ethernet, or WiFi. I have tried WiFi and ethernet, and it doesn't work. My new MB does not have any FireWire ports. I will repeat, NO FIREWIRE.
    When I connect the two macs directly with an ethernet cable, I get the same thing.
    Migration Assistant seems to recognize each other on the two different macs, but it prompts me to enter the pin code twice...after the second time, the MB says "Preparing Information..." and the iMac says "Searching for other computers..."
    Then eventually the MB will report "connection failed..."
    I have not come across a forum yet that someone hasn't said that you have to use FireWire. Well, that isn't an option for me!!
    Someone please help!
    I would really like it if I don't have to bring both macs to the Apple store, super inconvenient.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    I don't have any backups
    That's quite scary! If you value your data, you really need to start backing-up regularly, so when (not if) something awful happens to your Mac, you won't lose everything.
    Now you have two choices:
    Take both Macs to the Apple Store
    Get a good external USB HD, preferably at least 2-3 times the size of the data on (or expected to be on) your system. Make a "clone" of the old Mac via [CarbonCopyCloner|http://www.bombich.com> (donationware) or [SuperDuper|http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html] (the free version will work for this purpose). Then erase the new Mac's internal HD and reinstall OSX per the green box in [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html], and use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer from the "clone."
    Once the new Mac is set up and running, erase the external HD and start making regular backups. Snow Leopard includes +Time Machine,+ an excellent backup app, integrated into OSX. You might want to review the [Time Machine Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#timemachinebasics] and perhaps browse [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    Or use CCC or SD.

  • Migration assistant doesn't "see" Time Machine disk

    Just got a new logic board, and they wiped the hard drive.  My Time Machine disk mounts, and I can see the files.  However, migration assistant doesn't list it as a source.  (Yes it's formatted Mac OS Extended [Journaled]) 
    Time Machine recognizes it and wants to use it as a new backup disk, but it doesn't want to show me anything from the old back up. I didn't do a new backup of the "new" computer.  I don't back up applications just users.

  • Migration Assistant Does Not See Attached External Disk

    I just purchased a MacBook Air to replace an aging MacBook Pro.  Both are running the latest Mountain Lion (10.8.3).  I want to move my files from the MBP to the MBA using Migration Assistant.  I first tried doing this over wi-fi, but when I learned it would take more than 99 hours, I chose to cancel the operation.
    So I connected a new Seagate HD to the MBP and configured Time Machine to back up to it.  I let Time Machine run all day, creating hourly updates after the initial backup.  I then disconnected the drive, attached it to the MBA and rebooted.  I ran Migration Assistant and chose to migrate from a Time Machine backup.  However, Migration Assistant does not see the disk.  Yet the disk is mounted on the desktop, I can read and write to it, and I can see the Time Machine backups.  Only Migration Assistant seems unable to recognize the disk.
    This isn't the first time I've had problems with MA (see my posting history).  When it works, it's terrific - my new computer has all the settings and preferences as the old.  My applications are all registered and operational.  So I'm very frustrated that I can't get it to work with my new MBA.  It really does diminish the experience of getting a new computer.  That, plus I don't want to spend days and weeks moving things over manually, re-installing, etc.
    C'mon, Apple.  Why is Migration Assistant so difficult?  I'd chalk it up to user error, but this many times?

    So, finally after fourten hours of unattended "migration," I let it continue overnight and in the morning found that the time remaining had not moved a minute.  I canceled MA and found that not one iota of data had transferred.
    As far as I'm concerned, Migration Assistant ranks lower on the Apple success list than Open Doc, Newton, Pink and Taligent.
    Now I have to manually install software I want to use on the MBA, apply licenses, and all the other stuff I would expect from Windows.
    NOT happy.
