Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I'm transferring my data from my old Mac to a new one via migration assistant ,it takes me 2 days till now but the time stopped !! It been more than three hours now it written that the remaining time is 16 hours and 45 minutes ! I don't know what should I do now! Do I have to restart my Mac and do the transferring again or I should wait?! Does the transferring working properly now ?
MacBook Pro
How are you connecting your old and new Macs together?
Via migration assistant and from the same wireless
that may be your problem, Reem Raafat. I don't know what connections are on your macbook pro, but maybe Firewire ? otherwise let it run
just a thought
J.B
Wireless could easily take 30 hours.
An Ethernet cable could take 5 hours.
A FireWire cable (and Firwire Target Disk Mode on the computer holding the old files) could take 2 hours.
Should I restart the two computers or leave them until the transferring finish! But the problem is that they been more than 5 hours the time didn't change "about 16 hours and 45 minutes remaining" I think there is some thing wrong !
If it is stuck, you will probably have to start over. But use a faster connection method. To use Ethernet, connect a cable from each computer to your Router and use:
System preferences > Network > (little gear) > Reorder Interfaces to make Ethernet on top of the list on BOTH computers.
----
To use FireWire (recommended), hold down the T key on the source (old) computer as it starts up. It will put a FireWire screensaver up on the screen. The entire computer is now a temporary FireWire Drive. Plug the cable into the new computer and the drive should mount on the desktop. Start Migration Assistant.
There is some one write by my name
What should I do now :(
