Q: I started installing my new Mac Book Pro and agreed to use Migration assistant. It appears to be taking a surprisingly long time to transfer my music 9which I did not think i had a lot of) . It says about 12-14 hours remaining. Is this normal?

I would not stop it now.
Which connection did you use ? FW400 - 800 or TB ?
With 400 can take longer but 14 hours is really a lot.
Go on . The extimated time is only and extimation. Often after some time it decreases to a more human time.

That was my experience, too. I let it migrate overnight.
