Migration ***'t works with Thunderbolt to RJ45 Adapter?

Just wanted to confirm that the latest version of Migration Assistant will work with a Thunderbolt to RJ45 adapter. We're upgrading an "old" MBP 4,1 to the latest MBP. Would it also work with the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter?  Which would be faster?
Thanks!

Of course. You can connect both iMacs with a FireWire 800 cable and a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter without any problem. The problem would come if the old iMac has not got FireWire 800 ports, but the Mid 2007 iMac comes with one.
In order to use Migration Assistant and transfer files from another iMac through FireWire, you need to put your old iMac in Target Disk mode as you said. To do this, simply hold the T key while your old iMac is starting up until you see the FireWire icon in the display. Then you can set up your new iMac, and you will be asked to transfer your data.
If you have already set up your new iMac, use Migration Assistant (in /Applications/Utilities) > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

  • Does the migration extension work with GoLive CS1?

    When DW became my program-of-choice, I chose not to upgrade to GL-CS2; and now would like to move my GL7.0.2 sites to DW-CS3. Will the migration extension work with those sites?

    Ron J, thanks for your feedback.
    My GL9 approach was not successful ended in things like null is no object etc.
    I folllow Murrays advice to work from scratch the cumbersome way, i.e.
    Without the extension If you create a DW site that points into the root folder for your DW site,
    you will be able to open and edit the files.

  • Will my mid 2010 iMac 27inch work with Thunderbolt external drives?*

    will my mid 2010 iMac 27inch work with Thunderbolt external drives?*

    No. Your iMac doesn't have Thunderbolt. You'll need a Firewire or USB drive.

  • Migration Assistant with Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

    Hey gang-
    Finally retiring my mid-2007 iMac with a new Late-2013 iMac.   Yayyyy!
    I've always been happy with Migration Assistant, but wanted to ask the experts if Migration Assistant will work with the Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter.   I'm planning on connecting the old iMac Firewire 800 port to the new iMac Thunderbolt port via the adapter.  On a related note, I assume that same as always, I will need to boot the old iMac into Target Disk mode, right? 
    Thanks!

  • No internet with Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter

    I bought a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, and i used it to connect a Iomega drive I previously used as USB.
    When running OSX, no problem.
    But when i boot the computer under Windows 7 (not SP1), if the adapter is connected, then the computer says that there aren't connections avalaible. If i boot without the adapter, everything worls fine and i can connect to my WiFi connection. (I don't have an Ethernet cable plugged, so i can't says if the Ethernet connection doesn't work too)
    Any suggestion? Has someone experienced this?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • G-RAID with thunderbolt to Firewire adapter

    Hi, I just bought a brand new Macbook Pro with Retina display.  I also purchased a Thunderbolt to Firewire800 adapter with it to plug in the G-RAID mini disks I already had.  WHen I try to plug the G-RAID mini in the TBtoFW adapter it make a regular beep and doesn't mount.  Any clu on why this is happening?
    The drives mounted perfectly on my 17in MBP and it works great on the MacPro I'm using right now.
    THanks

    It's beach use the FireWire to Thunderbolt adapter doesn't provide enough power. I've heard using two adapters with it plugged to both FireWire ports works. You plug one in, then the other.
    I'm curios if the new G-Raid Mini is bus powered by USB 3. Or if you can plug in USB 3 and the adapter to get enough power. I only have 1 TB port on my Air.

  • What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro?  I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not.  Also should I avail myself of something that works with Thunderbolt or Firewire?

    What external drives work well with a late 2011 MacBook Pro (I7, Lion OS) apart from my Kingston flash and USB drive, and the SD drives that I use in my cameras and recording devices?  I ask because I just found out the hard way that a Samsung EVO 840 does not.  Also, should I avail myself of something that works with the Thunderbolt or Firewire connections?  I'm looking to back up music and video files created and/or processed in Logic Pro and the Adobe Production Premium software suite (Premier Pro, After Effects, Audition, etc).

    Hmm, not sure what problems you had installing this drive. The review here gives it good marks for Mac:
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-EVO-Series-2-5-Inch-MZ-7TE1T0BW/produc t-reviews/B00E3W16OU
    There does seem to be a lot of prep to make it work:
    "1. Preparation to install your new shiny SSD
    1.a You will need a migration tool (I used the Sabrent kit USB 3.0 to Sata that was suggested in these review) see link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DQJME7Y/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i01?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
    1.b You will need to download a trim enabler (mid 2012 macbooks only support native trim with apple brand ssd's) I recommend going to cindori.org and downloading trim enabler version 3.xx. You can do this step before or after the OS migration
    1.c You cannot use the Samsung SSD migration software *don't worry Mac has its own imaging/migration utility*"
    Also in those reviews:
    " Only down side when using this product in a Mac Mini is you will be required to download and install Trim Enabler so that your drive performs optimally on your Mac device. This is an Apple issue, not Samsung, but it is an extra step you will have to take after you install the hard drive, and any time you perform an OS upgrade." He rant's on.
    Personally I only deal with OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC/
    They are very knowledgable and if there's a problem they will gladly take back the item. (Never happened to me yet - 8 years and counting).
    Just upgraded my 13" MBP 2011 to 120 GB for $79. Adobe CS 6 opens in 3 seconds! Awesome!
    When I was in Chicago I had a pro photographer for a client. She wound up with 4 internal drives in her Pro, 4 external drives and an dual array locked in a steel vault in the basement. All from OWC. OK she was a bit paranoid. Great client though.
    As far as value for price:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MES3FH7500G/
    500 GB for $130.
    However as far as reliability is concerned:
    http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/30/are-ssds-reliable/
    http://www.extremetech.com/computing/173887-ssd-stress-testing-finds-intel-might -be-the-only-reliable-drive-manufacturer
    So sudden power loss is an issue with SSDs.
    Personally I'd go with a moderate sized SSD internally and a conventional external for backup. An array would be the most reliable.

  • Jumpy Mouse when connected to monitor with Thunderbolt-to-miniDVI-Adapter

    Hello everybody,
    I have a Macbook Pro with Mavericks installed.
    I've been working with a plugged in Packard Bell Monitor on my MBP for a few months now, everything went good.
    But now, since yesterday, the mouse jumps all over the screen and it's really annoying!
    I googled the problem and I now know that it's because of the Adapter I'm using, but it's strange.. I've had this monitor setting for quite a long time with no problems and now from one day to the other, there's this problem..
    When I work only on the Macbook without a plugged in Monitor, it works normally and smoothly.
    I even bought a new magic mouse because i thought it could be the external trackpad i'm using, but the problem is still here..
    I cleaned my deck, cleaned the trackpad, cleaned my hands..
    Sometimes the cursor moves only from left to right..
    Do you know a way to fix this problem? Buy a new adapter? Buy another adapter? Buy a new monitor?
    Thanks for your help!
    BTW: Excuse me for my "not that perfect english" :')

    Update.
    Still having the problem.
    I changed the mini displayport to displayport cable:
    http://ca.startech.com/Cables/Audio-Video/DisplayPort/6-ft-Mini-DisplayPort-to- DisplayPort-Adapter-Cable-Male-to-Male~MDP2DPMM6
    to this cable and am still having the same issue:
    http://outlet.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/0B47091/460/8FA0422CA6EA48B0BDED71D28 7F73673
    I have heard that the issue may have something to do with the number of pins contained in the cable:Try another DisplayPort cable (One that is VESA compliant). Non-compliant DisplayPort cables may have snyc issues and may also have the # 20 pin pwr cable active. The # 20 pin is not suppose to be active and it may cause damage to your hardware.
    The new Lenovo cable does not indicate if it is VESA compliant.
    The main issue here is that after the Macbook Pro screen flashes blue upon waking, the screen brightness keys do not function. Only after removing the mini dispalayport cables do the brightness keys (F1&F2) function again.
    Would really appreciate it if someone knows how to solve this issue?
    Kind regards

  • Will Migration Assistant work with an external drive?

    I'm upgrading the hd in my Powerbook and for various reasons have the new drive in an external enclosure. It's got a fresh OS installed and all I need to do now is copy all the data from my old drive that's still in the Powerbook to the new drive in the external enclosure. What's the best way to do this? I know I shouldn't just copy everything over and I got error messages using Disk Images. A friend suggested Migration Assistant but that only seems to want to work with complete computers, not external drives. I've got a G5 in the office too that I can employ if needed.
    I want to keep all my settings and prefs intact as I'm told Migration Assistant will do.

    As long as the Firewire hard drive is a bootable drive for Mac OS X it should work with the Migration Assistant. These two companies offer that kind of drive:
    http://www.macsales.com/
    http://www.cooldrives.com/
    While it doesn't matter for the machines you quoted, if you choose to migrate to a newer Intel Mac, it won't work. This article explains what to do in that case:

  • What is the iPod Model #????, that works with the Wireless Headset Adapter?

    Dear Mac Support, I want to order the iPod with the head phone jack that is in the center at the top so that I can connect the wireless headset adapter. Recently I bought a new iPod and the head phone jack was on the top right corner and the wireless headset adapter will not work on that model. Can you tell the model number that I need that will work with a wireless headset. Better yet, is there a iPod that has a built in wireless head adapter?
      Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    You just bought one of the new video iPods. One of the older ones that has the remote jack needed for your adapter cannot play video. If you still want one, the model numbers are:

  • Does my macbook work with thunderbolt

    Does my macbook work with the thunderbolt display?

    I'm not sure what you mean. Display port on your computer or on the monitor? According to the Apple site the system requirements for the Thunderbolt monitor are:
    System Requirements
    Thunderbolt-enabled Mac computer, including MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac mini, and iMac
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    If your computer does not have a Thunderbolt port then you need to use this monitor. Since they are the same price you should be able to exchange one for the other if you do so within 14 days of purchase.

  • My MBP Retina doesn't allow the use of two Thunderbolt to DVI adapters. It only works with one TB - VGA adapter and one TB - DVI adapter. However now the color on the VGA connected monitor is slightly different.

    The monitors are Viewsonic VA2406m-LED. The Display preferences show all three monitors but one monitor always says "No Signal" if they are both connected TB -> DVI.
    The Color on the VGA connected one is slighly off. It seems like I should be able to connect two DVI monitors not sure why this is stopped. Does it have something to do with the Graphics card?

    The problem was with the newEgg adapter. I just went to the Apple Store and bought an Apple adapter and the monitor now displays correctly.
    For future reference, in case anyone experiences this problem:
    the newEgg adapter is part number 9SIA1PU0P88920, described as a Thunderbolt Mini Displayporrt Display Port DP to DVI Adapter for APPLE Macbook Pro Air and the full description says it works for macbook pro, etc.
    when this adapter is used, the macbook pro recognizes the monitor, but the monitor displays nothing.
    When the apple adapter (MB507Z/B Mini Display Port to DVI Adapater) is used, the monitor displays correctly.
    Of course, the individual newEgg part might simply be defective, but I doubt it.  moral -- spend the extra $$ and buy the Apple adapter.

  • Can't work with Macbook mini-dvi adapter to s-video out under Windows..??

    hi..
    My macbook can work well with mini-dvi adapter to tv out under mac os,but it can't work under windows os..
    If anyone's using their Macbook and has any comments please let me know..
    Thanks.
    Richard

    Yes, if you can get an s-video cable and plug that into the SCART adapter, that would be better than plugging in composite video.
    Clearly, having an SCART connection is not going to "improve" the video going in, you're going to be limited by the lowest quality connection. An s-video connection will provide a higher (but probably not a lot) quality signal than composite video.

  • My apple TV optical connection is not working with optical to analog adapter after the update to 6.0.

    When i bought the apple tv, i could listen to my iPhone's music on my home's audio system, which was connected to the apple tv through a digital to analog audio converter. It was working until the apple tv upgrade to 6.0. I tried connecting the apple tv directly to another amplifier with optical input and it worked fine, i tried the converter on the play station and it worked as well. I switched the DD on the apple tv settings from Auto to on and the problem remains. Any ideas?

  • Problems with Acer VGA/RJ45 adapter

    Hi All,  I am new to this community. I have had an Acer Asire V5-571P for a year or so now and am frustrated by the internet connection port. The laptop came with an adaptor which has a VGA and a Cat5 connector. This has worked fine for most of the time I have had the laptop, but recently it started to work intemittently, so I bought a new one - an acer product, and that too has failed, leaving me just with WiFi. WiFi is fine, but by no means as good as wired. Are Acer providing replacements free of charge for these failed adapters. To be honest its a really very poor design - there is too much weight onthe cable and I suspect that this has caused the internal widers to break. This shoudl have been a rigid piece of kit and not as it is designed.Not at all happy with this feature on the laptop.Any thoughts/advice before I go direct to Acer on this issue?CheersPer

    Honestly? i would contact Acer support service, 2 adapters broken is not a standard behaviour.
