New macbook pro has frozen during windows migration and can,t operate, new macbook pro has frozen during windows migration and can,t operate
trying to set up new macbook and has frozen during the process of using windows migration, now can,t get it to go
Try just holding down the power key to power off - you may have some files that migrated, maybe, maybe not.
You won't hurt anything - just have to try MA again if it doesn't work the first time.

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.

I have a 2009 Macbook Pro with 1T hdd 8GB Ram and ran Maverick without problem...Yosemite installation has me completely frozen, nothing works but the spinning ball...I had to force shutdown last night, and haven't turned it on again...what do you advise? During installation emptied cache, etc. Backed up using time machine, fortunately.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

My Macbook Pro purchased Dec 2011 has suddenly become very slow after not using for 2 weeks (close to frozen). What is the problem and how to solve it?
Need Help Ye,
boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it still very slow? -
Migrating LR 2.3 to new MacBook Pro
Sorry if this has been covered many times but I want to get it right. I am on LR2.3 on a MacBook Pro using OSX 10.4.11 . I have a new MacBook Pro that will be running 10.5x whatever the current release is. After backups.......... I understand the preferred alternative is (1) uninstall LR (2)use migration manager to move all my stuff to the new machine including the .lrcat /backups etc. (3) raw files are external so no change required (4) reinstall LR on the new machine (5)locate the current.lrcat . Did I miss anything?
Reinstalling LR might be a problem. I have the original LR install serial number but not the upgrade disc to 2.3. Any ideas on how to get around this? Adobe has a record of my buying the upgrade.
Am I correct in that using migration manager for everything will cause an "authorization" issue with LR unless I uninstall and install.I just did this yesterday, and had no problems. I wouldn't use the migration software, because it will move over any leftover crap from previous installs, etc. Just download a new version of 2.3 from the Adobe site and install it. If you have serial number issues, just install it as a demo, and you'll have 30 days to get the issues resolved.
Make a copy of your current LR catalog folder with the current catalog and current previews. Copy that to the desktop fo your new machine. Be sure your external drive with your negatives is plugged in.
Open LR on the new machine, you should have a blank catalog.
Import from catalog and point it to the catalog you've moved onto your desktop. Go have a cup of coffee or two and a nap, this can take a while depending on the number of images and previews you have.
If you have any missing links, you can link them up when you're done.
Worked great with no problems for me for over 19000 images. -
I'm wanting to migrate certain applications from my MacBook Pro over to my newer Mini, but Migration Assistant doesn't allow doing this by choosing which applications to migrate-how can I pick only certain ones?
You only bought it four months ago, so it's still under warrantly.
Call Applecare or call your nearest Applestore to make an appointment. Tell them your mac has serious technical issues, describe them shortly. -
What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro? I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.
No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire. But looking at wires on line has been confusing. Is sata the same as esata? How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2? -

Can I share my iTune library on both Mac/Windows on my new MacBook Pro
I just ordered a new MBP. I have 15GB iTune library on my old Mac.
I'm planning to install Windows Vista and using BootCamp or fusion to use both Mac and Windows on MBP. I will use only Windows during work hours and will use Mac when I get back home.
Is it possible to have just an one iTune library to share for both environment? I'd like to update the library from both Mac or Windows of my choice.
Thank you for your help!I have itunes match. its good but its not perfect. it downloads wrong versions of songs. for example it downloads the censored version of many of my songs. plus it doesnt do podcasts, movies, tvshows, books.
plus it doesnt show my smart playlists in the same track order as on my computer. its good but it has bugs and shortcomings.
thanks for the suggestion but i'd like to try the way i initially posted about. -
Can I change mi Macbook pro 2012 to a new one, because my fan died during an update?
Well the other day I was using my Macbook Pro 2012 (not the retina) and I made an update soy leave my Mac during the update because I went downstairs for dinner, but when I went to se my Mac it make a strange sound on the fan, so I scared a lot and I download a program to see how my fan was doing and it sayed "0 rpm". My fan died during the update.
So my question is, Can I change my Mac to another one?Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, make a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If it doesn't work, the fan is defective. If you take the MacBook Pro to an Apple Store, Apple will try to repair the defective part, so you shouldn't need a new MacBook. However, if your MacBook Pro doesn't work correctly after replacing fans, Apple might give you a new Mac -

How do I connect a Windows 8.1 tablet to a new Macbook Pro?
I am going to be purchasing a new Macbook Pro soon. In addition, I'll probably purchase a new Windows 8.1 tablet to replace my aging iPad 2. How can I connect the Windows tablet to the new Macbook Pro so I can add/remove data & movies?
Thanks to everyone for this help on this; I appreciate it.Windows 8.1 is designed as a desktop operating system, so it doesn't need to be connected to any PC and you won't be able to connect it to your MacBook Pro because it hasn't got any port to do it.
Instead, what you can do is to install iTunes on the tablet and access to all your content purchased from the iTunes Store by using your Apple ID, or transfer your songs by using Home Sharing > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3819 -
I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?
What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on. -
my iphone4s died, mom gave me her old 3gs, i had to get a new sim to fit the 3gs, how can I sync all my old contacts? I have a macbook pro, tech told me that it would sync from my icloud but it has not. Thanks!
Syncing the 3GS is exactly the same as syncing the 4S - so just do the same as you've been doing.
How do you normally sync contacts from your Mac to your iPhone? Via iTunes over USB/WiFi, or via iCloud? -
Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process. If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage. In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track. Everything worked fine on Windows 7. So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility. As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries? Does anyone have any suggestions?
After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.
