Migration Assistant stalled-now have a mess!

Ok. I will outline what I did. I am really stuck....
1. I wanted to do a clean install. Followed directions to make a bootable clone of Yosemite. Worked fine.
2. Erased hard drive.
3. Installed Yosemite.
4. Decided that I didn't want to piece-meal my stuff back so I plugged in my clone and started up Migration Assistant.
5. It took a long time but it got down to 2 hours and 44 minutes and stayed there for a long time. I decided to let it run overnight.
6. About 10 hours later I checked again. Still stuck at 2 hours and 44 minutes.     
7. Decided it was stalled. Had to hold down power button to get it to restart.
8. Booted up in Yosemite.
9. I was able to get some apps up and running by dragging from the clone to my hard drive. App by app.
10. Then I ran into problem #1-iTunes doesn't have my apps in it from my iPad (4th gen) and iPhone 6. It has my music but not all of it. It appears that all the movies are there. But I can't update to 8.1 because what I have in my iDevices does not match what is in iTunes. So how do I get my iTunes like it was before so that I can update to 8.1? I don't want to restore my phone and iPad do I?
11. I tried retrieving my iTunes backup from Time Machine but I got a message that I can't do that-maybe because it's from a backup prior to my upgrading to Yosemite.....
12. I have a Crash Plan backup but it's trying to get caught up from all the changes I have so I can't use it right now.
13. Can I do Migration Assistant again and specify which Time Machine backup I want to use?
14. Is there an app that will let me get into the nitty gritty Time Machine files?
15. Ugh!
I really do appreciate any help you can give me to get me out of this quagmire! Judy

Re:  Why not boot from the 750 GB drive and try the migration that way?
Good idea, but no joy. I've booted from both the original 250 GB HD and the new 750 GB HD and in both instances Migration Assistant reports one of my folders has 239.8 TB.  Any idea why such an impossible amount is reported?  Thanks,  -wjm

    I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries? Is there anyway to do it without using an external hard drive?

    Yes there is.
    1: Log out and into the account you later want to remove.
    2: Open your Pictures folder and look for the iPhoto Library.
    3: Right or control click on it, a menu appears and choose the option "Show Package Contents", it's really a folder.
    4: Find the folder called "Originals", select it and use the Finder menu to Duplicate it.
    5: Move the Copy of Originals to the Desktop. Close the window.
    6: From the Finder menu, select Go Computer.
    7: A window appears with your boot drive, double click it and on the Users folder inside.
    8: Select the OTHER users folder and open the folder called Public, inside is a folder called "DropBox"
    9: Drag the Copy of Originals to that DropBox folder, it will copy it.
    10. Log out and into the other account and access the DropBox folder, your files can then be imported into that iPhoto user Library from within the program itself.

  • Migration Assistant stalls every time, even with different backups

    I recently had the hard drive replaced on my 2009 intel iMac.  I have tried using Migration Assistant to transfer user settings and applications from both the USB backup drive of the iMac as well as my Macbook Pro but in both cases, Migration Assistant stalls at either 1hr 47min ot 1hr 53min and doesn't progress past that point.  I've let it continue for hours but it just doens't go any further than that. 
    I assumed it was coming to a corrupt file but now I'm not so sure as it does the same thing when I try migrating from my Macbook Pro, which is a completely differn't system.
    Any suggestions?  Next, I'm going to try just transferring applications to see if I have any luck with that.
    Any way to transfer applications manually?  I have so many, it would take days to re-download and install everything.

    It may have completed the migration. Have you logged out and then looked for a new user account to see if your migration was completed?

  • I am wondering about transferring my pc date to my new iMac.  I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc.  Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?

    I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc.  Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?  I'm going to be trying to move the date to a new imac 27' with fusion drive.

    the following set of instructions is a little longer, so you might want to print it out and have it handy
    Step 1 - PC
    If your PC already is connected to the Internet, hold down the Windows button on
    your keyboard and simultanously press R. Into the opening window enter "cmd" (without
    the quotation marks). A command line will open, enter "ipconfig" (again without the
    quotation marks) at the prompt. Now find the section labelled "Ethernet-Adaptor" and
    note the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway on a sheet of paper
    If your PC is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP address.
    open Network and Sharing Center
    do a right click on Ethernet and select Properties
    in middle of the screen there is a box labelled "This connection uses the following items"
    out of this box select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
    click on the Properties button in the right corner
    Into the window "Use the following IP address" enter the following values
    IP-Address: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet-Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default-Gateway is the IP-Address of your Router. This value is needed for internet connection, for the file sharing setup only this value can be left empty.
    Step 2 - Mac
    If your Mac already is connected to the internet, it is likely that it has automatically receive the necessary parameters from your router and therefore should be in the same network as your PC. To be on the safe side, you can check this by
    open System Preferences
    select Network
    choose Ethernet from the panel on the left side of the window
    click on Advanced
    click on TCP/IP
    compare the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway with those you wrote down earlier.
    If both PC and Mac have identical numbers in the first three parts of the IP-Address, you are set.
    If your Mac is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP-Address as well.
    In the TCP/IP window you have just opened select "Manually" from the drop down menu "Configure IPv4:"
    Enter the following values
    IP-Address: 192.168.0.2
    Subnet-Mask: same as with PC
    Default-Gateway: same as with PC
    Step 3 - Activate File Sharing on PC
    open Control Panel
    select Network and Internet
    select Network and Sharing Center
    on the left panel select change advanced sharing settings
    in the middle of the new page enable turn on file and printer sharing
    Step 4 - Activate File Sharing on Mac
    open System Preferences
    select Sharing
    set check mark next to File Sharing (green circle appears on the right side next to File Sharing:)
    click on Options:
    set check mark next to Share files and folders using SMB
    in the listbox under the text Windows File Sharing make sure there is a check mark next to your account name
    Step 5 - Create a share on your PC
    In Explorer select the folder you wish to share
    do a right click on that folder and select "Share with"
    choose "Specific people"
    a new window opens. there select your Windows username (usually the first in the list)
    if you plan to copy from Windows to Mac only, it would be sufficient to grant Read permission only, but, since most likely you are the only person to access that share and certainly do not plan to sabotage yourself, Read & Write permission is ok too.
    finally click on "Share"
    Step 6 - Create a share on your Mac
    Once the check mark next to your account name is set (see above) your home directory is automatically set as a share.
    Step 7 - Connect your PC to your Mac-Share
    do a right click on the network icon which resides on your desktop or in the left
    panel of every Explorer window
    Select Connect Share
    in the text box next to Folder: enter \\<ip-address-of-your-mac>\<your-osx-username>
    if you are using the same username and password on both Windows and OSX click on "Finish",
    if not set the check mark next to "Connect using different credentials" afterwards click on "Finish" A new window will open where you enter username and password that you are using with OSX
    Step 8 - Connect your Mac to your PC-Share
    hold down the command key and press K simultanously or in Finder click on Go in the menu at the top of your screen and select "Connect to Server"
    in the Window that opens enter smb://<your-windows-username>:<your-windows-password>@<ip-address-of-your-PC/<y our-windows-username>
    or
    smb://<ip-adress-of-your-PC/<your-windows-username> you will be asked to enter your Windows username and password in popup window
    Now you have both computers connected to each other. Each will provide you access to your home directory of the other computer. Open a second Explorer or Finder window with your local home directory and start copying

  • Migration assistant stalls on "applications folder"

    hi all
    i'm having an odd problem upgrading a g4 dual gig desktop system to tiger using the erase and install option, after cloning my drive to an external fw hd. when i finish the install and get to step 3 (transfer your information) the migration assistant stalls on my old "applications" folder - it just sits there with the word "calculating" next to it. i tried leaving it alone for a while to no avail. with the "applications folder" checked (and calculating) the "transfer" button is greyed out. there is also an option for taking files and folders from the drive with the cloned system, and when i uncheck the "applications folder" and check the drive where this folder resides, "transfer" becomes active. i tried doing it this way, but it just copied the files to a folder on the upgraded system, without copying all my library support files, prefs and such. anyone have any idea what's going on? this has always worked flawlessly for me in many other installs. i'm stumped!
    thanks

    g4 dual gig "mirror face"   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    well, none of that resolved anything. here are a few more details: after installing 10.4 and getting to the "import from another partition/computer" section of the migration assistant the file list shows the applications folder i need to access, but instead of a size it reads "calculating." even if i let it sit for several minutes this doesn't change. i ran the usual disk utility repair permissions and verify disk procedures, and everything comes back fine. if i try to boot from the clone everything seems very slow: boot up takes quite a while, it hangs on "waiting for apple file service" for several minutes and "login window starting" also takes forever. once it gets done i get a blue screen hang. if i boot into the new install of 10.4 and run the migration assistant, it doesn't see the partition with my cloned system at all. the first time i tried migrating the files, when it wouldn't see the applications folder, it did allow me to copy the files into a folder on the new system drive. this didn't help much of course, since it didn't bring the support files over. i'm resigning myself to having to reinstall all my apps manually, a big PITA.

  • MIgration Assistant Stalls out on 'Searching for Disk...'

    The main problem here is, I reinstalled Snow Leopard after some acting up by the OS. Backed up ON my main HD and tried to use Migration Assistant to restore the backup. AS of now, every time I load up Migration Assistant, it just stalls on 'Searching for Disk...' and never finds a backup.
    I'll try and make a long story short, my optical drive was acting up so I took it in to the Genius Bar. Luckily, they had a new one in stock and replaced it on the spot. Upon getting my MacBook Pro (2009) back, everything was acting crazy. Lagging, freezing, etc. The genius told me it was normal that things start acting up after installing new hardware and that all I had to do was reinstall Snow Leopard and that before installation, it would ask me if I wanted to backup all my data and that once it was re-installed it would automatically come restore to its previous form. Here's where I think things got a little screwy...
    I was running Snow Leopard but unfortunately when I installed it, it was from a friend's 'family installation' pack, so I didn't have the installation CD at hand. Anxious to get things fixed, I put in my original installation disc that came with my MBP. Looking back, it should've been obvious that downgrading might cause some problems. Booted to disk and I went on to reinstall. Right before the reinstall it asked me if I wanted to backup all my data to restore once the installation was done. Sure enough, it seemed to have worked so I figured all was going well.
    The installation finished and asked me if I wanted to restore from a backup. Of course, hitting yes only gave me an error saying that the backup was created on a newer OS and that I wouldn't be able to restore it on an older OS. I was bummed out but it made sense. Fast forward another day: I call my friend and ask to borrow his Snow Leopard installation disc again. I install it, hoping to see the same, "Restore from Backup" screen at some point, but nothing.
    I noticed right away that I only had 16 GB of HD space left (what it was before any of this madness) but everything looked as if it was brand new. After some clicking around through some folders I found the old backup within some folders so I figured that everything worked fine and Migration Assistant would be a quick and easy fix. From here on, Migration Assistant can never seem to get past the loading screen. All I see is, "Searching for Disk" and an eternally spinning circle.
    Am I missing something? I've repaired disk partitions and done plenty of searching online. Am I just going to have to setup everything manually again? Thanks.
    -Raul

    Wow. Sorry, but you've made a major mess.
    I was running Snow Leopard but unfortunately when I installed it, it was from a friend's 'family installation' pack,
    That's a violation of the license. The +*family pack+* may be installed on up to 5 Macs in the same household. You need to buy your own copy of Snow Leopard.
    It sounds like the prompt you got form the Leopard disc was to +Preserve Users and settings.+ That's an +Archive and Install+ of Leopard. If so, there should be a +Previous System ...+ folder at the top level of your HD. If so, that's where you found your backed-up stuff.
    The +Restore System From Backup+ option on the DVD is to restore from Time Machine backups, and it doesn't sound like you've ever made any.
    And you cannot use +Migration Assistant+ on that folder. It works to transfer from one Mac (or Time Machine or "clone" backups of one), to a different one.
    If that's what you did, you'll have to install Snow Leopard over Leopard (that won't disturb anything else). When you start up, you'll have Snow Leopard and little else. You'll have to copy what you need from the +Previous System+ folder.
    |
    Once this is sorted out, in addition to buying Snow Leopard, you really should start making regular backups of your system. See 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), and/or Kappy's post on [Basic Backup|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12366915#12366915].

  • Migration Assistant stalls: Solutions and tips

    As a long-time Mac user and fairly competent OS X guru, I was not a happy camper when I found myself floundering through the process of migrating my 2007 MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7 to a brand-new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 this weekend.  What was even more frustrating than serial freezes of the Migration Assistant was the lack of a clear roadmap to solving the problem.  Fortunately I'm the persistent and methodical type, so I DID solve the problem and figured it was worth taking the time to write up some tips for future sufferers who might feel as though the only solution is to throw up their hands, take both machines to the Mac store, and fork over $99 to have them keep the machines for several days to do what ought to be easy.
    1.  Buy a Firewire cable that fits both of your Macs.  2007 and later MacBook Pros have the 9-pin socket as well as a 6-pin socket.  The 9-pin to 9-pin cable works just fine.  I think a 6-pin to 9-pin ought to work but haven't yet tested.
    2.  When you first start up your new machine, DO NOT go through the standard migration process.  Just set up a temporary admin account as if it were a new machine that you were not going to migrate.  Don't use your usual account name or the name of any account that's on your old machine -- just set up a temporary account that you can delete later if you don't need it. Oh, and a word to the wise: don't use a stupid password just because this is a temporary account! You might forget to delete that account and leave the whole machine vulnerable in case it got out of your hands.
    3.  Once you've got your new machine all booted up, do a Software Update.  OS X 10.8 was installed on my system, but the current version is 10.8.2.  What I didn't know (and no one at the Apple Store told me even after I had problems) was that 10.8.1 contained a fix for Migration Assistant freezes. Why I couldn't learn that by searching the Apple database I haven't the foggiest -- it's the kind of thing that ought to be front and center and well-known by all Apple Geniuses, don't you think?  But now you DO know:  update your machine before running Migration Assistant and you'll save yourself a lot of time and frustration.  BTW, I could not do this through the Apple Store:  10.8.2 requires 10.8.1, so I had to search for the 10.8.1 update, install that one, and then download 10.8.2 and install that, restarting the system after each install. Sooner or later there will be a cumulative update, so if you're reading this sometime in the future it might not be so difficult.  But it's always good policy to get the OS to the current level before trying anything fancy.
    4.  Once your software is all updated, turn off wi-fi on both machines.  Migrating via wi-fi seems to be the default, and you could spend many, many hours waiting for that to happen.  Turn off the wi-fi and plug in your Firewire to connect the machines.  Theoretically this process also ought to work by plugging both machines into the same Ethernet router, but I haven't tested that yet either.
    5.  Start the Migration Assistant on your new machine. (Just type "Migration" into the Spotlight box and you'll find it).  Tell it that you'd like to migrate "from a Time Machine backup or other hard drive" rather than from another computer. That's not strictly true, but that's what you have to choose to make the Firewire work. Then start the Migration Assistant on the old machine and wait for the new one to find the old one via Firewire.  Duh, that one took me a while to figure out, and I only stumbled across it after the two machines connected via Firewire couldn't find each other and I threw up my hands and connected the old Time Machine backup to the new machine and restarted the process to try to migrate via TIme Machine backup. I hadn't disconnected the Firewire, and the two machines found each other on that connection within seconds. I'm sure Firewire was far faster than doing the same task via USB drive would have been!
    6.  Having already had the process stall on me several times, I was cautious about how much I wanted to migrate at a time.  So I first did only "Applications," and then restarted the Migration Assistant to do "Settings," "Users," and finally the rest of my files.  Each one took a while (several hours, with files being an overnight run - I have a LOT of stuff), but the results were just about perfect except for a couple of apps that didn't quite get all re-installed. I imagine that you could do it all in one go if you wanted to -- I'd just been burned too many times to want to try that :-)
    7. One other tip: if your migration DOES hang, don't hestitate to CMD-Q and kill it on both machines.  It doesn't hurt a thing although it may leave some partial (and non-functional) accounts hanging around.  I haven't gone back to look for those yet, but eventually I will and I imagine they'll be pretty easy to clean up. And of course the corollary is that you can run the Migration Assistant as many times as you like, even importing apps and users from multiple machines if you like.  Kind of useful if you're consolidating machines.
    Hope this helps anyone who has similar problems now or in the future. After Thanksgiving I'm going to try migrating an old iMac running 10.6.8 to a new Mac Mini by connecting them both to the router since I don't have a 6-9 Firewire cable.  I'll pop in to update this posting and we'll all have a bit more generic feedback on the best way to use that Migration Assistant.  Sheesh, maybe the Apple Geniuses will all read this and be able to better advise their customers and keep those loyal folks who have used Macs for many years and are willing to do their own migrating from running into the same brick walls that I managed to find.

    It may have completed the migration. Have you logged out and then looked for a new user account to see if your migration was completed?

  • Migration assistant stalled ( 110 hours, after 30  hours ). How else can I transfer my data from PC to new iMac without wireless migration assistant?

    i am a new mac user
    i have a new imac
    was trying to transfer data from old pc to imac using migration assistant ( wirelessly )
    i had done it once already, but i noticed that although it took about 8 hours, very little data from the c drive was actually transferred ( i had not noticed i had to designated folders to copy )
    so i did it again, targetting folders on the D drive and my external hard drive F - lots of data ( about 300 GB )
    after an hour i noticed that the estimated time for completion was 88 hours ! i did let it run for about 30 hours anyway and hoped for the best ...
    this morning when i woke up the time remaining was estimated at 42 hours, but then it suddenly jumped to 110 hours !!!
    when i came home 8 hours later, it was still at 110 hours, so i stopped it - i assumed it had crashed ...
    i got a message that one folder on my pc might have been lost - corrupted
    incredibly, after more than 30 hours, no data had actually been transferred to my new mac !!!!
    in any case, i see now that migration assistant created a new user account anyway, which i do not want
    SO
    how can i transfer data from my pc laptop to my new imac, preferrably with a direct cable connection as opposed to wireless, directly into my main account
    and i how can i delete the other account migration assistant created in the initial "successful" transfer
    thanks

  • I recently used the migration assistant and now my music has not transferred and it wont play, any ideas on how to get all my music and films to actually work?

    Hello,
    I recently used the migration assistant on my old macbook air to transfer my data to my new macbook pro, yet it seems that my music and Films have not fully transferred over. i have used macs for a while now and haven't had any problems before, yet now itunes has the names of my music and films yet it can't locate the original file. any ideas on how to get this fixed? i don't want to buy all my music and films again.
    Help?!
    Thanks

    Did the original files actually transfer? They would be in Music>iTunes>iTunes Music. You may just need to rebuild the library if the files are in that folder.

  • Migration assistant stalls

    I've done a clean install of 10.4.7 on a 15" G4 Powerbook 1.5 GHz, and am trying to use Migration Assistant to transfer my data from a 17" FP iMac (with 250 GB internal drive), also running 10.4.7.
    The iMac volumes mount in Migration Assistant, but when I get to the Pick Users to Transfer to This Machine panel, the program stalls, with Space Remaining: Calculating and Selected Items: Calculating messages. This state doesn't change for hours. I can click Continue to see the Pick Applications and Files panel, but get the same messages. If I click Continue again, I get to the Pick Volumes panel, and there I see two of the three partitions on the iMac. But the previous panels never finish "calculating," and thus I can't transfer my data. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help.

    Did you run any utilities such as disk warrior on both hard drives? If not that could be the reason. Just because you install a fresh operating system does not mean everything is in order and it may have problems finding things like files on the hard drive. if you are using fire wire be ready for it to be some what slow. if do not have disk warrior you can use drive genus. i can't think of any oter ones that will do the job.
    good luck

  • Migration assistant stalled

    I am using migration assistant from a Macbook to a macbook air. It had gotten to 15 mins remaining, and then jumped up to almost 4 hours, and has been stalled there for a few hours now. This is after running all night and working fine to transfer files (via wireless internet). Do I need to restart both computers? What can I do to prevent this next time? The progress bar is almost at the end, and it is working on transferring application folders now.
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Restart both Macs and start Migration Assistant after restarting in order to transfer the files that weren't transferred. It's easy to get interrupted the migration when you are using Wi-Fi, and that's why I recommend other ways to transfer your files with Migration Assistant. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889

  • 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.

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

  • Mac Book Pro; Migration Assistant, Finder Windows have ? Mark Next to Search

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro this weekend.  I used Migration assistant and transferred everything from my Mac Book (intel core duo running Lion 10.7.3) to the Pro. I upgraded the Mac Book to Lion via the App Store prior to getting the Mac Book Pro.   Had some problems migrating, but everything transferred (finally).  Now I see a ? mark in all my finder windows adjacent.  When I click on the question mark it says "The item cannot be found."
    Applications (except those that are not supported in Lion) appear to be working fine, as well as any document files I transferred.
    I repaired permissions, but the problem remains.
    It is more of a "preception concern" then a real problem.  I just would like to see it disappear because it is disconcerting.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem, I solved it by turning off the firewall on both the PC and my MacBook Pro. It worked immediately after that. Hope that solves your problem too.
