Any substitute for Mac to the Migration Wizard?  What happens if he doesn't?

I backed up the hard drive in a macbook pro 2012 and migration assistant does not work because it is said that the backup is corrupt.  Sure, I could use CCC or just manually recover data (copy of folder by folder), but would instead to migrate all accounts, settings and bookmarks.  Or at least the accounts.  Is it possible to do?  An article explaining this would be welcome.  Thank you very much.

How did you save? If Time Machine, start the recovery Partition (command - R on a reboot) and restore from there.

  • Mail of the Mac Mini, iMac with the migration wizard

    I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have used for some time now and I have many mailboxes (30 +) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).

    I recently picked up a 2011 27 iMac which is running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate due to vision problems.

    Both units are working well but I would like to transfer my boxes to the letters, messages, and the account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.

    Am I able to select only the data for e-mail (boxes letters, messages and settings) to transfer somewhere in the Migration Wizard interface or will it just to start the transfer of all?

    I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts, but prefer not to use for e-mail.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    The simplest option would be to use Time Machine to restore your data.

    Other Options:

    You can export the folders you want to transfer the mini using export of Mail under mailbox function in the Menu bar > export a mailbox... Drag to the folder on the desktop on the new iMac and import in Mail. File > import boxes mailbox...

    You can also use a third-party application, Emailchemy to export your Mail on the mini and pull only the folders you want and import. If you have many files, it would be a faster option.

    Otherwise, you could drag on the whole Mail > V3 folder let Sierra update data. This assumes that you have already started using Mail to Sierra.

    You don't have to use iCloud email to use Apple Mail. I strongly suggest that you use IMAP to service what ever you choose to use.  Comcast, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail (other)

  • Is the Migration Wizard write in any newspaper?

    When you migrate the data, is the migration wizard save anywhere (the console log) how it happened and whether or not it was successful? I did a migration during the night operation, and when I arrived, the computer was switched off (power off). I need to know if she did it after the migration was finished, or if the migration never finished. Leave a newspaper? I can't find.

    Hi Michael,

    I understand that you're looking to verify the successful migration of your information after installing OS X 10.11 on your Mac. Migration Assistant does, indeed, save the information and, to system.log (easily accessible through the utility of Console in/Applications/Utilities) as opposed to its own log file.

    In the Console utility, you can use the search box in the top right to search for "Migration Wizard" (without the quotes) to show only messages from Migration Wizard. If you don't see anything definitive, by this means, search for "systemmigrationd" (again, without the quotes) to search for any failure on the one hand the process itself.

    Kind regards!

  • Impossible to use creative cloud in new Mac after you use the Migration Wizard

    I used Migration Assistant to set up my new Mac (new computer is a retina MacBookPro; so was the old computer). I couldn't open any of my CC applications. When I open Creative Cloud Desktop App is completely empty (no tab for applications, fonts, files, etc. - no way to install or update applications). I uninstalled creative Cloud and reinstalled (several times), but got the same results. I also deleted all files application for CC applications than ever with the Migration Wizard of the cam.

  • iMac frozen by using the migration wizard

    Hi, I tried to use the Migration Wizard to transfer my settings my iMac to a MacBook Pro new etc.  The transfer failed, and now my iMac froze with transferring your screen information, suggesting it will update your system settings.  On that note, it has been frozen for several hours.  I tried to force quit but it sounds right.  I also tried turning it off, but when I turn on the power, even once, it returns the same screen.

    Anyone have any suggestions. ?

    By 'frozen' do you mean that you cannot move the cursor?

    If two Macs are connected wireless, it can take several hours, even days, finish the Migration Wizard. If you can't wait that long, you can force the Mac does not close in holding the power button down for several seconds. Then, connect the Mac to another using Ethernet cables and if necessary appropriate adapters and start the migration. You can connect to each other directly, or through a router. A wired connection to avoid the vagaries of wireless communication.

  • Where is the Migration Wizard?

    I have three MacBook Pro. My most old, 5-6 years, repeated that she was seriously infected by a virus. I erased it. Now, I restart and OS X Utilities push the info, with four options: restore of backup Time Machine, reinstall OS X, Get help online or disk utility. I time Machine using my current Mac brand new, but I can't restore the old Mac directly by using the new Time Machine copies. It tells me to use the Migration Wizard. Where is he? I have yet a third Mac, a few years more recent than this one, that I can restore from reformatted. Is Time Machine restore possible? How can I find Migration Wizard with these four options on the screen? Thank you.

  • migration of events imovie to new Mac without using the Migration Wizard

    Hello

    I want to do the following:

    Migrate from iMovie events of an old MacBook Pro (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) created using iMovie ' 08

    TO

    (Yosemite 10.10.5) iMac with iMovie 10.1.1

    All events are stored on 3 external drives (Nothing on the internal drive of MBP). Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.

    The destination is another external drive, with Thunderbolt interface. I copied the serious events in 3 separate directories, but not tried opening them with iMovie. Wasn't sure if there was data stored elsewhere (in ~/Library for example) that might be needed; In addition, I didn't know if I could manually merge the 3 separate records events iMovie with the Finder, or need to do somehow with iMovie.

    I manually moved everything some time ago - I haven't used Wizard migration; I didn't have enough disk space attached to the iMac when I moved everything, so I carried on using iMovie on the old MBP.

    I googled and read several articles on the events to an external drive / to new Mac, but none of them totally covers my starting position and desired end result.

    Would appreciate any insight how to go on this issue, and how and where exactly iMovie keeps all the data you need.

    The articles are (among others):

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT202853 "update of projects and events from previous versions of iMovie in iMovie (2014).

    http://help.Apple.com/iMovie/#mov3ac6d42c "copy or move a video in your library of events to an external hard drive.

    https://support.Apple.com/kb/PH2302 "iMovie 11: copy or move video from your library of events to an external hard drive.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203049 "move your iMovie for Mac library (2014).

    If your iMovie ' 08 projects contain media from outside the record of events (for example, from iPhoto or iTunes) then we must first using iMovie ' 08 on your old computer to "consolidate" your support so that everything is copied in the events folder.  Details for the iMovie 11 version can be found at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9

    I don't have the ' 08 version help files, but I think it will be the same - you can check with your old Mac.

    "Disks have FireWire interfaces, I can't connect them directly to the iMac.

    FireWire adapters Thunderbolt are available for about € 30, which would use these drives on your new Mac.

    In fact, you can copy the project files and events with the viewfinder of an old external drive to the root level of the new new external drive (which should be Apple - formatted), but it is probably best to do from in iMovie ' 08, as described in the help of Apple.   Do 'copy' and not 'move' - this way you always have a backup of the original on the old disks in case of problems.

    I would like to convert the project files and the events of each of the 3 discs one at a time, creating 3 libraries separate iMovie 10.1.1.  You can always rearrange these in iMovie 10 after you have everything updated and verified.  Some people have reported the update of blocking process at any given time, so update in small batches of events and projects is much better than trying to do everything at the same time.

    In fact I would try to first simply copy one (or a small group) project and its events associated with the new external with iMovie ' 08 HD then update to ensure that it will work - from iMovie ' 08 for iMovie 10.1.1 is a big jump.

    Good luck!

    Geoff.
