Migration assistant from windows 7 to iMac os 10.9

I am using a direct ethernet connection and both computers say that they are ready to transfer files but the mac has a spinning wheel and says "checking PC" and goes no further. What can I do?

Forget Migration assistant. Just Copy your personal files to an extrernal drive then move that drive to the Mac and copy them from the eternal to the Mac. The drive can be foramatted in any way as OS X can Read from Windows NTFS formatted drives.


There is nothing else on the Windows computer that can be used on the Mac. No programs, settings or options.

And when and if you ever get the Migration system to work it will create a Second User account on the Mac and you'll be posting back with "How Do I Find My Files that I Migrated Over From a Windows PC".
