Cancel transfer migration assistant
I used migration assistant and time machine for all transfer from my old mac to my new mac. I really wish that I had not transferred applications. Is it possible to get it back to how it was sent to me?
Thank you very much!
Using OS X Recovery can help return the computer to its original state; It will download
the delivered software as set if it is still available from the Apple servers, or other on App Store.
OS X: on OS X Recovery - Apple Support
You should also consider an external drive to backup component that is not Time Machine
Associates and is separated physically. This could be used to create & maintain a clone of the Mac OS x
and applications on the computer, all in offline mode. You can completely restore a clone updated.
Or use them as your own time capsule. Some partitions can be destroyed if you use disk utility
to erase a hard drive completely; If so will not be the recovery hard disk partition. When
replace a hard drive with a new one, also we need format & go to the
recovery of the Internet for installation; unless you have a complete quality clone that managed
to copy all partitions in the original, for later use in an archive personal offline.

If you have terribly slow internet (using Ethernet instead of a wi - fi connection) you might also consider a visit
in an official Apple store with the Genius bar, appointment; to get help to restore original.
Good luck & happy computing!

Cancel Migration Assistant?
I tried to use the wizard of migration since Friday. Today is Monday and it is not yet done. Transfer from your pc windows 7 to nine iMac never used. the pc is hard wired to the router and the Mac is wireless. When he started first timer said 40 hours. A few hours later said 25 so I was glad he was going faster than I thought. the next morning he said 7 hours 45 minutes and it has not changed since then. When I click on cancel, he says that's mutating. However, the Mac said 1 minute. What will happen if I cancelled the transfer and tried again, but this time, connect the two computers with each other via ethernet cord? Is this possible?
What will happen if I cancelled the transfer...
It is likely that the partially migrated information will be corrupted. In your case I would like to cancel the migration and try again, this time by connecting your Mac to your router (not PC) using an Ethernet cable, either directly, or through an Ethernet switch.
You can connect two Macs to another using the Ethernet cable and you can probably do the same thing with a PC, but I can't guarantee that it works.
Edit to add: it is also possible that the partial migration is usable, and it just stuck on something unimportant. If you cancel the migration and the Mac seems to contain all the information you need, consider that it finished.

You can use migration assistant to transfer the time machine backup external hard drive?
Hello. I just bought a new macbook pro with a 256 GB flash drive to replace my previous macbook pro that had a breakdown of all the systems. My problem is that I have a time machine backup that is greater than 256 GB (it's almost 450 GB) and I try to find out if I can use migration assistant to transfer all the content directly on an external hard drive, then move the content I want on my hard drive from the external hard drive? My goal is to let my music and photos on the external hard drive and for all port hardware I need for work.
I don't have access to another mac with storage well enough that I have the old HD so could potentially be installed in an external enclosure and extracted files directly from there if it's easier.
What I intend to do in the long term is to buy a big external hard drive network and put all my photos, music etc over there and use the laptop as expected - that is for files from day to day - then it will be just a short-term problem.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
Thank you
Nick
Migration Assistant is user to transfer data from one computer to the other. If I read your post correctly, you want to copy your data from Time Machine on another HARD disk. Thia may be useful:
Pondini website covers virtually all aspects of Time Machine.

I used the migration assistant and an external hard drive to transfer everything from my old macbook pro to my new. All files appear to have burst, but when I wanted to add a comment of the photo on FB, the library is grayed out and the album of events could not be considered. Any ideas how I might solve this problem?

Creative cloud will not install after using the Apple Migration Assistant to transfer again Mac
I used Migration Assistant to transfer applications to a new Mac. Creative cloud threw an error. I used uninstaller to remove the Creative app clouds, then downloaded the new version of the Adobe site. When you try to install, the installer of creative cloud crashes before installation.
I then launched an application, he said I need to save it. So I logged into my account, turned off all previous installations on other Macs. My apps work now. However, I still cannot install creative cloud desktop application (same behavior takes place).
I use the latest version of Yosemite on a Mac PowerBook.

Migration assistant did not what I expected
I set up my iMac 5K and installed Photoshop and Office of the COR. I used Migration Assistant, thinking it would be the best way to transfer my iTunes from my old Mac Mini Library. Now, I have two accounts on my new iMac, HLP from my old Mac Mini and HP the new account, I just put in place. How can I: 1) move my iTunes library of HLP HP and 2) Get rid of the HLP account that I don't want on my 5 K?

You not use Migration Wizard and Setup Assistant, you would not create a second user account. However, it's water under the bridge. Next time, consider using the configuration wizard and migrate then and not an afterthought.

Using Migration Assistant with no display
I got my MacBook mid-2010 (2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM, OS X El Capitan) for 2 years.
It splits into two somewhere within 2 years.
The MacBook was still usable, but it had to be on a desk. The screen was completely separate from the base. It still worked.
I woke up a few days ago to find that someone had cut the display cable holding the MacBook set and turn on the screen.
I bought an early-2011 13 "MacBook Pro to replace the dead MacBook. (Yes, I buy old Mac because the news is so expensive).
Old Mac has been saved semi regularly, so I have an old backup to use for the new Mac. The problem is that just before the death of the former Mac, I downloaded a bunch of stuff that has not been saved. I really want the files that have not been backed up on my new MBP.
Can I use Migration Wizard with an Ethernet cable and transfer of data from one, or Migration Assistant must be running on old Mac as well?
I tried to connect (I'm sure that the computer is still running, it doesn't simply have a display) on the old Mac, plug the backup drive and I hope to do a backup hourly, but Time Machine did not only.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
If you use Ethernet or a wireless network to transfer data, Yes. If you can not download the files and file-sharing has not been activated on the old Mac, you must either get fixed display or put its internal drive in a closed Chamber.

What is a substitute for the migration assistant? I tried in vain for three hours to migrate files from a macbook pro to each other so that even if connected with the ethernet cable the computers never see each other.
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.

migration assistant for only the user folder
I'm helping a student who left a Time Machine backup College but suffered a hard disk failure in his MacBook Pro here. We can't clone or make a backup hard drive TM or run the recovery partition. All we could do was to copy the user on an external hard drive folder.
Apple replace the drive under warranty and installation of system software. When we reboot the machine that is repaired, we will be able to use setup assistant/migration assistant to transfer the folder to the user as it will not be recognized as another backup Mac or MC? Otherwise, what is the best way to get it on the laptop and recognized as a user it?
(She needs to work on its data before returning to the University is not an option to wait until she is back with his backup TM)
As far as I know the Migration can be done with just the folder of the user. What I would say is that you copy the text of the drive backed up by a folder. In other words, open the two folders of Documents and copy the text from the backup folder of Documents to the Documents from the computer folder. This, for everything except the library. Most of what is in the library will be restored as the computer is reconfigured and the applications are put back in place.

I used the migration assistant to transfer my documents and applications of a backup time machine to my MacBook. I know that I need my wired adapter so that the whole process to complete due to the time it takes for the migration. If I unplug my adapter for 5 minutes the macbook will lose power because of the battery off in utility mode or power will be uninterrupted?
Im not sure he could stop it, but to be sure I would just leave it alone, because if it is interrupted it could damage the macbook and time machine backup
better safe than sorry
