Migration Assistant Logs Out

I am having the same issue. I have brand new Retina MacBook Pro and I have tried migrating from a MacBook Pro 17" over wireless, directly hard wired and then I used Carbon Copy cloner to make a clone of the MBPro 17" and every time I try to migrate, after the screen shows what is going to be copied, I am logged out of the new MacBook Pro Retina.

Here is the log error from the console:

10/25/13 3:34:40.919 PM Migration Assistant[433]: terminating assistant implicitly - passed the last section without encountering a finishing page

Any help would be great.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I also tried to use a Time Machine backup, but the new Macbook Pro won't see the external drive. I have tried this with a backup done on a drive with a USB cable, which I then attached to the new computer. I have done it with a backup done wirelessly, which I tried to access wirelessly. I think there is a serious problem with the new MacBook Pros recognizing anything from earlier machines.

I fixed my problem by reinstalling Mavericks on the brand new Retina Macbook Pro. I then was successfully able to use the Migration Assistant from a Carbon Copy Cloner clone of my 17" MacBook Pro.

I am having same issues with brand new macbook retina display trying to transfer from old macbook pro

I've run it about 20 times and fails quickly every time with one of the computers logging out as soon as transfer starts

MLe132,

I would try fixing the permissions on the iMac. I did that to my 17" MacBook Pro before I tried the Migration assistant..

What should the permissions be set to?

thanks

Launch the Disk Utility program, its in the Applications->Utilities folder.

Click on the iMac's Hard Drive on the left side and then click on the "Repair Disk Permissions" button in the right pane.

I'm having the same issue. Anyone else have any ideas?

Same problem here. Both machines Mavericks. Connected via Ethernet.

I've tried everything that has been suggested here and on other sites, and nothing has worked. I keep thinking Apple will realize there's a big and fix it, but so far, nothing.

I retried it with WiFi and it worked fine. (and after a little while it says that plugging in Ethernet speeds it up, which worked). Nothing else changed other than the WiFi, and I had tried multiple times, rebooted, etc. so it's mysterious to me if this is what actually fixed it.

Ok guys,

set the new computer up with Mavericks, pull the original drive from the old machine, use an external hdd enclosure and plug it in the new machine.

Open the Migration Assistant, check "Migrate from other hdd" and move the files and programs you need to your new machine.

Way faster and more efficient than doing it over Wifi, unless you want to sit there all night . ......

So it allowed you to switch from wifi to Ethernet in the middle the migration?
