Why does it take so long for migrationassistant to transfer information from my macbook to my new mackbookair?

I recently got my new macbook air and i want to transfer my aplications and documents from my macbook to my new air but i've tried it twice and it transfers until a certain point and then it won't transerfer anymore.Both times it said it would take about 12 h but after 6 h it stops. Why is this? I'll appreciate any help i can get

Interesting...
the iPad setting don't match the iPhone settings.
the main settings are push, but on the iPad each individual account has push, fetch and manual as options. But the iPhone only has fetch and manual.

  • Why does it take so long for my wireless printer to start printing from my MacBook?

    Why does it take so long for my wireless printer (HP Photosmart C4700) to start printing from my MacBook?
    It seems to take about 3 minutes to spool up printing from any program on my MacBook, but it will start instantly with my iPhone.

    Anyone have any insight on this?

    Good Afternoon Geraldine,
    I understand you are wondering why you did not receive an email receipt instantly for an iBook purchase made on March 2nd.  Is this the first time you've noticed a delay?  I would suggest contacting the iTunes Support team to report the issue.  With your permission, they can access your account and possibly shed some light on this particular transaction.

  • Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

    Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
    I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

    8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time.  What should I do next besides wait?

  • Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

    Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

    Well several different versions at different resolutions are saved to the library so it can be played on different devices.  If you don't need this you can speed things up a bit but disabling save to theatre.

  • Why does it take so long for Firefox to load?

    Why does it take so long for Firefox to launch at initial start up? It usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. IE loads within a few seconds.

    Reset the homepage to something else, or do not use a home page at all.

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from I tunes. I want to then transfer to my Ipad

    Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from itunes. I am doing this to transfer to ipad.This is a question.

    I have noticed this here on several machines in our office, all running Leopard.
    I just did a test and subscribed to the same 16.8MB podcast on a machine running 10.4.11 and another running 10.5.8.
    The Tiger raced straight through and downloaded at a constant rate, taking about 15 seconds.
    The Leopard raced until 1.2MB downloaded and then slowed to a crawl, going up 0.1MB every 10 or 15 seconds.
    Very strange. I've noticed the Leopards were having similar problems doing downloads through the Software Update utility.
    I compared downloading an update from Support Downloads in Safari and there is no problem.
    So (for me) this issue is applying to Leopard rather than Tiger, and only to downloads via SU and ITunes, not regular http downloads through a browser.

  • Why does it take so long for my iTunes gift card to come?

    I normally have to send the card over and over again to my daughters account and it takes her 2 hours to et it. Why does it take so long?

    I don't think that anyone here can answer that question. We are not Apple employees and would not know what the actual process is that takes place when you send a gift card. I don't think that is totally unusual for the card to take a couple of hours to go through, but like I said, I don't know what the behind the scenes process is that is involved.
    Why you have to keep sending the card is another matter but maybe it has something to do with your email provider and a delay on the server.

  • TS1702 why does it take so long for the updates to download on my ipad?

    why does it take so long to for the undated Apps to download??

    First shut down the text app and clear both
    cache and data and do a normal power cycle. Follow that with  a system cache clear and then restart the text app again and restore your preferred settings for the app.

  • HT201328 Why does it take so long for Apple to unlock an iPhone 3GS.

    I have been trying to unlock my iPhone 3GS whrough my provider since 31st August, and they are still waiting for a information from Apple.  Why does it take so long? Surely this will put people (i.e. me) from getting another iPhone in the future.

    The carrier unlocks the phones... once the carrier officially unlocks they send an email to apple... Apple's database picks up this info from the imei number... it's all done computerized. Apple has nothing to do with unlocking whatsoever!
    The contract is between the customer and the carrier. It would be illegal for apple to unlock a phone considering Apple is not a part of any contract!
    Apple is a manufactor and support for their products... not a carrier!
    Carriers push this crap on Apple when they know good and well they are the ones who unlock! Customers can call Apple to see if it's unlocked, but it's a database... they have no way of unlocking or locking phones!

  • Why does it take so long for a home video to buffer?

    I recorded a video on my canon digital camera, transferred it to my iMac and then tried to watch it on my TV with my Apple TV, but a 3 min. Video took about 10 to 15 min. To buffer. It finally played. Now I'm waiting on the next on to finish buffer, and play. It's 10 min. long and it's been buffering for about 30 min. Why does it take so long?

    Not on the LAN - traditionally internet speeds were rate limiting - these days it's possible the LAN connection is especially with multiple wifi signal paths.
    Unless some app is transcoding the camera video on the fly I'd be surprised if LAn slownwss alone would cause these issues.
    What's the camera and what is the recorded video format?
    AC

  • Why does it take so long for your iTunes request to be added

    I am a huge fan of the Apple Store, And I was looking through (ps) this is the Australian store, anyway, I was looking for Sonic X, and noticed they didnt have it , So I requested, its been a week since they have not even added it, I really loved that show and would like to have it digitally Downloaded instead of having dvds all over the place Anyway, how long and why does it take forever for a tv series request be finally added to the iTunes store?

    A bit young?
    They have a request page so people can tell the iTunes Store about media they would like to have but is not currently available. Apple can judge the number of requests for this material and try to enter a contract with the copyright holder to make the product available. It is not an order form, like on Amazon or a fast food restaurant where you put in your order and they find it and have it ready for you. They can't call Sega and ask for one copy of it to make it available to you. They have to enter into a contract giving them rights to offer it for download and have a payment schedule. Not something you are going to be able to do straight away.
    And if Sega doesn't want to sell it on the Apple Store in Australia you won't be able to get it from there.

Maybe you are looking for
