Migration Assistant Fail Hang Hung Freeze Transferring Information
i just got the new MacBook Pro (2011). I have a MacBook Pro (2009) running OSX 10.6.6 that I want to transfer the data FROM.
I did all the basics: Turn both machines ON, Boot up the old mac pressing 't', Connect a FireWire cable between them, and follow the instruction on the New Mac's Screen.
It gets to the "Transferring Information..." screen and works just fine till it gets to "About 19 minutes remaining". It took 4 hours to get there, but that was around 10pm Last night. At around 1am, I went to bed, and it still said "About 19 minutes remaining". It is now 9:30am, and it still says "About 19 minutes remaining".
I never had this problem before. I owned about 9 macs over the years.
If I just Unplug them, or if I Force PowerDown on the old mac, how do I find out what files transferred and what did not? Is there a software that does this?
Also, on my last 2 macs, I used CCC to copy everything because it was faster, and the OS was the same, and the internals were small upgrades. The new mac has all new internals, so I chose to go with what I thought was the safest way.
I guess I was wrong. 😟
Any Ideas would help.
I'm using my PC to type all this, and it just feels wrong.
