Trying to download the migration assistant and the site's cert has been revoked. Anyone else find this same issue? Looking to migrate my wife's data from a Windows machine to a new macbook pro
Senior contributors report the certificate problem has been fixed, so try the download again.
If it does not work, please report back!
try changing your Apple pages to USA and then try the download again. It may still be broken in Canada.
which version of macOS are you running on the Mac? links are in this article:
Move your data from a Windows PC to your Mac - Apple Support
I tried all three downloads on my Mac, and none complained about certificates.
¿Are you using the download links IN THAT ARTICLE?
Yes, the version us 2.2.0.0
I've been trying about a week now and keep getting the same error, cert has been revoked, no matter which browser I try. I've tried IE, Chrome, and Firefox.
I can download an older version but it won't work.
I'm trying to migrate from Windows to Mac. It's the windows migration assistant I cannot download.
I am just following the link from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1978?locale=en_US
There does not appear to be an option to switch to a US based server.
Still showing revoked for me, including screen shot. Time is Mountain time zone. I tried to include a screen shot but the page said I exceeded the 5000 word count.

I've tried downloading from three different Windows machines, same result. Today I finally forced my wife's Windows system to trust the cert and was able to successfully download and install the Windows Migration Assistant v2.2.0.0
There is a torturous story about Symantec getting some certificates revoked and GeoTrust buying up some of their assets. If you want to follow that, just ask and I can chase down the articles for you.
that certificate:
Apple IST CA 2 - G1
is based on:
GeoTrust Global CA
¿Is it possible your Windows system does not trust GeoTrust Global CA as a valid certificate authority?
