Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I interrupted the information transfer when using migration assistant as it was going to take 48hours. My new iMac is stuck with a 'Transferring Information' screen, turning it off and on has no effect. What can I do to get back to a startup screen?

How can I stop the setup assistant on a new iMac? I have interupted the Migration/Setup assistant as it indicated that transfer of data woul dtake 48 hours and it was still rising. I had to turn of the source iMac to stop the Migration Assitant at that end. Turning the target (new) iMac off and on brings back the same migration assistant window stating it will take 48 hours to transfer.


Anyone any thoughts on how get round this problem please? Thanks Wally

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Bonjour
