Q: Migration Assistant stuck on 15 minutes left, can we know how to check the logs for problems?

Hi,

I am trying to copy data from my old MBP to newer one, but MA always stuck on 15 minutes left. I left the computer for 12 hrs but no progress. Is there are way to know what is going on in the backend? any solution/alternatives to solve this issue.

 

Thanks\

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    If you've been stuck on 15 minutes for 12 hours, I'd just reboot and see what actually migrated.

     

    If everything didn't come over (which I kind of doubt) then you can start the operation all over again.

     

    Me? I'd just hit the old power button and reboot. It's very unlikely that you'll 'hurt' anything doing that.
