Starting Failed Data Migration Over Again With New Macbook Pro

I just purchased a new Macbook Pro. Upon transferring files from an old Macbook via a backup and Time machine, the startup screen on the new Macbook Pro now  just shows white and a spinning disk. I can't even get a normal desktop. 
1.New Macbook Pros do not have installation disks in the box. How do I get back to the welcome setup screen and start over when the migration did not work?

Use Lion recovery:

  • Transfer iTunes Library and iPhone Sync data from old iMac to new Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I bought a macbook pro in September last year, previous to this I had an iMac. This has all my music and iTunes stored on it.
    Is there a way to transfer my iTunes over to my new Macbook Pro and sync my iPhone as if my phone thinks it's the same computer, so I don't have to restore my phone or set it up as a new one.
    Thanks.

    Yes.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.

  • Facebook problems with new macbook pro.

    Facebook problems with new macbook pro. I can't publish photo albums to timeline. I can't share items onto timeline. Photos I'm tagged in don't appear on my timeline. Any help?

    Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
    Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
    I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
    I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
    How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
    Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

  • Trackpad do not work properly after migration data from old imac to new macbook pro

    After migration all my Data from my old imac to my new macbook pro (both running on OS Maverick) with migration assistant, the trackpad of the new macbook pro doesn´t work properly any more.
    But the trackpad had worked properly before the data migration!
    But now the trackpad feature of scrolling up and down with two fingers doesn´t work. (Other features are ok.)
    I have tried to change the trackpad settings, but still doesn´t work.
    Can anyone help me???

  • Ensuring iPhone will sync with new Macbook Pro without migrating all settings

    Hi,
    I recently bought a new macbook pro. I don't want to use the migrate assistant to copy all settings and user profiles, because my old macbook has some problems and I want to ensure they aren't transferred over.
    However, I need to be sure that my iPhone 4 will sync properly with my new macbook pro and all my purchased apps will be carried over.
    Can someone tell me what specifically I need to migrate to ensure this works properly?
    Thank you!

    how do i migrate photos in a folder on my desktop over to my new macbook pro

    Hi d,
    Connect the two Macs using FireWire Target Disk Mode http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    Then just drag the folder from your old Mac to your new Mac (it depends which you use for target and which for source, but one will show up as a HD icon on the desktop of the other; you can copy to/from that HD to/from the other Mac (the folder on your desktop).

  • Using Time Machine Backup Drive with NEW Macbook Pro

    I just got a new Macbook Pro. I migrated from my old MacBook Pro. Now I want to use my Time Machine Disk with this new machine.
    When I connect the external drive, and select back up now, it says there is not enough space (due to the fact this is a new machine and it wants to backup the entire thing)
    Also, when I go into the TimeMachine, it doesn't show me anything past today. . . all of my backups are not displayed over the past year. . .
    How do I make it so that the external drive displays all my old backups. . . ??
    Thank you for your help.

    Turn off TM or set the backup drive to null. Rename your computer in Sharing preferences to the same computer name of your old computer. Turn TM back on and reselect the backup drive. TM will behave as you expect. Of course if the file dates on the new machine are all changed since the migration, then TM will correctly assume that they require backing up. You will then find that there will not be sufficient space on the drive for the new backups. If this occurs then you should simply erase the backup drive and start your TM backup anew.
