Q: I am migrating about 450GB from my MacBook White to my MacBook Pro, wirelessly and it will take over three days, having spent 18 hours on the first 15%. Is it possible to interrupt this migation without damaging either source or target?
I am migrating about 450GB from my MacBook White to my MacBook Pro, wirelessly and it will take over three days, having spent 18 hours on the first 15%. Is it possible to interrupt this migation without damaging either source or target?
On reflection I should have used a wired connection or migrated at a later time but is it possible to interrupt the process now and rerun with a wired solution without damaging either laptop?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), Source is a dual core duo MacBook

Just go ahead and cancel. Then plug both computers into the same router using Ethernet or connect them via Firewire. Things should either begin anew or pick up where they left off. Either way, you won't lose any data and your migration will go much, much faster.
