Assistant of migration with the ethernet cable?

Hello! I have a new iMac and I want to use the Migration Wizard to transfer my old files from my old Macbook Pro to my new iMac. Love at first sight is not my old Macbook Pro only Firewire 800, USB 2.0 and an Ethernet port. So I thought I will use the Ethernet on Mac port with a CAT6 ethernet cable to connect directly to a faster transfer, but I don't know how it works, because the drive is not appear when you use Migration Wizard. I followed the instructions from Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350

But when looking for sources, it does not find my Macbook Pro drive so it can start the Migration process. Do you need to set up something else to make it work? Or is it beter to this with Firewire 800, which is my other option. Hope someone can help me ;-) Thank you Cloe

Ethernet requires both computers to be started normally

FireWire should be started using the target to the source computer and the computer started normally host

    You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

    Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

  • When I try to connect with my wireless laptop will connect only to Local access. If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

    VIsta - Local access only

    HI -.
    I recently moved.   I use the same router from my old apartment and I had no problem connection in the past.   Since I moved I have a new Time Warner modem (Cisco) and the modem works fine.

    The router also works very well I'm able to connect with my iPhone and IPad without any problem.

    But when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, it will only connect to Local access.    If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

    It's a Dell Studio 15 with Vista.

    The computer is able to connect to wifi to other places without any problem, but for some reason that I can't connect home.   I tried to reset the modem and the router several times, but that did not help.   I tried the option repair & diagnose several times but it doesn't work.

    I tried to look for other solutions online and tried to disable IPv6, and while it helped some and I was able to connect wireless, the computer ran so slowly that it didn't seem like a good solution.

    This has been very frustrating.   Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

    Hello Staciusa,

    Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:

    Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/wirelesstips.aspx

    If you need assistance to change the settings of the specific router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.

  • Pavilion dv7 Notebook - how will I know if I'm connected with the Ethernet cable or wireless?

    The notification area icon displays only a wireless connection, although the ethernet cable is connected to the laptop.  HP Connection Manager shows that both wired and wireless connections are active.  All of my previous laptop (not HP) had different icons for wireless to a wired connection in the notification area.  HP has a different icon for a wired connection?  If so, why it doesn't show in the notification area?

    Enrico, thank you.  I have installed Win7 Pro.

    The Network and Sharing Center says I'm connected wireless.

    Program of HP's "Connection Manager" shows that both the wired (ethernet) and wireless networks are connected.

    If I am always connected wirelessly with the ethernet cable plugged into my machine, how to move from the wired connection?

    Open the network and sharing Center. Look at the picture of what I have posted. Do you see where it says log in or out? Select it, and then disconnect from the wireless network. If you are also connected to the wired connecttion, then the connection should be almost transparent.

  • MB Pro restarts randomly with the ethernet cable is plugged

    I recently bought a thunderbolt reduction - Ethernet [1] and it works very well. The problem is that when it is plugged in, my MacBook Pro (13', 2015, i5, 8 GB) gets very hot. This isn't a problem, but the next thing is really annoying.

    Whenever I'm not load, but the ethernet cable is connected, and MacBook goes into sleep mode, the system turns off instead. Thus, for example, when I don't have the power cable and if go for 5 minutes, the system automatically sets the mode 'sleep'. When I come back, it is turned off, and when I hit the power button, a black screen with the Apple logo and a text in several languages, saying that the system restarted because of a problem. After that, MacBook starts normally.

    The same phenomenon occurs:

    • When the power cable is not connected and I close the screen
    • When the power cable is not connected and I SLEEP manually the MacBook
    • When the screen is closed and I plug the power or the ethernet cable

    I use OS X 10.11.

  • NB100 - unable to connect with the ethernet cable

    My netbook works very well with the wireless connection (even if I get only 4 MB when I have 10 MB connection). I visited a House of friends the other day and she does not have a wireless router.

    I plugged the cable broadand on my machine. I disabled the wireless connection and activated the network connection in network connections. I turned off then the feature wireless on the keyboard with the keys Fn & F1.

    It shows that there is a link in my taskbar, but when I try to open the internet it does not connect.

    I thought it was his connection because she had problems so today I went to another friends house and got exactly the same response.

    I decided to try the same thing at home and I disconnected the ethernet cable from my wireless router and performed the steps listed above.

    Still no joy - am I missing something?

    Tips:

    Use a static IP address, and not using DHCP.
    Disable your firewall. It can block the network connection.
    Disable network cards won't do not. If you use wired LAN, turn off wireless and Bluetooth in the Device Manager.
    Check if their ISP requires a power of Attorney, if they don't, specify the Proxy and Port in your browser settings.

  • I just bought an Airport Extreme and try to put in place.  I have Fios cable with a router.  I can not get anything except a blinking orange light.  After reading the instructions, it seems that the problem with the ethernet cable but I

    Must not exceed the flashing orange light.  have tried three ethernet cables to the Fios router.  All thoughts

    What extreme version do you have?

    Test the cables connecting the airport to your Mac with them and see if the ethernet works on Mac. Green connectivity light should go... If it fails, then the AE died.

    Please do a factory reset, then try again.

    Sometimes Mac airport utility works well... If you have the preference or iphone ipad, download and use iOS version airport utility and try it for configuration... It is much less awkward.

  • Apple TV (4th gen) faster with 5 GHz WiFi with the ethernet cable

    When my Apple TV is connected to my network via 5 GHz WiFi it gives me a faster speed (about 120 Mbps) connections it makes when I plugged it on my network (about 45 Mbps) ethernet cable.  Why is this?  I thought that the ethernet would give me the fastest connection possible.

    The ethernet port on all ATVS (including the 4th generation) is only 100 Mbit/s. The actual speed depends on the quality of your network as the routers, switches and cables components and of course it depends on the length of your ethernet cable and if it is damaged in any way (folded or crushed). And finally, that depends on how fast you have actually measured, on your local network speed, or speed on your WAN.

  • My Windows XP laptop does not connect to my 2WIRE router wireless, but do my other laptops. It will only connect with the ethernet cable. What is the problem?

    What I'm doing.

    1. my laptop is a Toshiba XP

    What serial number and model of Toshiba?

    What type of encryption 2wire router uses for now? Type of WEP or WPA? If the latter do you know if your XP laptop wireless card supports WPA (some older cards only). If you find that this is the problem, you can go to the WEP encryption or buy a WPA compatible device to use instead of the current device on the XP laptop.

    If you don't know how to find this information...

    The range and the model are probably on a sticker on the bottom of the laptop.

    I think that there is a sticker on the side of 2wire routers (leastways are those provided by BT) gives you the encryption key and this might also state what is the type of encryption. Or, if not, open a web browser such as internet explore/firefox etc and go to http://gateway.2wire.net, somewhere on the router admin pages, you will find information on wireless security/encryption.

    Regarding the card laptop wireless, I can help with this if you give me the range and the model as requested above. I can, also, be able to determine from the description of the device in Device Manager. Click Start, click Run, type devmgmt.msc and press ENTER. Network adapters (click on +) and transcribe the wireless adapter that there are listed in a response to this post.

  • printer is not found when connected to the router with the ethernet cable

  • The WAN Port is communicating with the Ethernet switch?

    I have a Comcast gateway that the router is disabled in so it acts only as a modem. This is related to an Airport Extreme, which serves as my router via the WAN on the AE port. I created a different WAP with a Capsule temporal from the airport, located downstairs with an Ethernet cable from one of the Ethernet ports on the AE to the WAN on the TC port. I think it's what we call a 'roaming network.

    My question is, can I connect my switch Gigabit 8 ports in one of the Ethernet ports on the TC to complete connections wired to all devices connected on it, or should I first connect EI to the switch 8 ports and then connect the switch to the port WAN TC to complete my network "roaming"? In other words, plug it into the port WAN AE or TC still allows you to use other Ethernet ports as a switch?

    Thank you!

    can I plug my Gigabit 8 ports switch in one of the ports Ethernet on the TC to complete wired connections to all devices connected on it

    Yes, assuming that the TC has been configured to run in Bridge Mode, which would be normal.

    or should I first connect EI to the switch 8 ports and then connect the switch to the TC WAN port to complete my network "roaming"?

    It would be considered preferable to wiring, if it is convenient to do so.  For example, in the configuration of the wiring in the previous example just above... If there is a problem with the time Capsule, then all devices connected to the switch to the time Capsule would have a problem as well.

    If the switch is connected to the AirPort Extreme, and the TC is then connected to the switch... If the TC has a problem, the other devices connected to the switch of will not be affected.

  • T460 touchpad responds liked when the Ethernet cable is plugged

    Hello

    I bought a brand new ThinkPad T460 ten days ago and I noticed that when I plug in an Ethernet cable, the touchpad responds: just a few clicks and taps are missed, the movement is slow and and sometimes temporarily blocked. The touchpad comes alive again as soon as the Ethernet cable is disconnected. The trackpoint and trackpoint button above the touchpad are not affected, only the touchpad starts to misbehave.

    This happens on both Windows and Linux, this isn't a problem of specific operating system. Furthermore, I checked to see if I am running the latest version of the BIOS, and I am. And there are no problems when you use the wireless adapter, but one of the reasons why I bought a ThinkPad was she has a port Ethernet, so not being able to use it would be extremely disappointing.

    I checked to see if there are any IRQ conflicts for the touchpad, but could find none. The problem occurs when the computer is plugged in and when it runs on battery only. I also tried two different cables in the same router, each in a different router port, and the problem persisted.

    I'm using the latest drivers for Windows 7 directly on the Lenovo site, and Arch Linux with kernel 4.4.5 - the Ethernet card is considered:

    e1000e [2.751703]: Intel® PRO/1000 3.2.6 - k network driver
    e1000e [2.751705]: Copyright (c) Intel Corporation 1999-2015.

    Should I expect it is fixed with a BIOS update, or do I have to contact guarantee? It is unacceptable to live with it.

    Tried in another House as promised, and the touchpad works very well with cable Ethernet is plugged. Also, before you leave the House with the problem, I discovered that the problem occurs only when the cable from my ISP switch is plugged into my router.

    Respect my opinion that this machine deserves a stronger touchpad, but apparently is not due to lack of computer - under normal circumstances, there is no problem with the touchpad.

    I'm stumped on how to proceed. Can I use a multimeter on the ISP switch from cable, but I'm not sure what to check (voltage? how does and between what son?). I'll also look into the suggestion of ferrite, I don't know where they are available - this thread is first heard of them.

    Anyway, I wanted to just erase Lenovo name on it.
