  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.

• 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

  Hello

  What service Pack is installed on the computer?
  
  Windows migration brings the following information about your Windows PC (Windows XP SP3 or higher) on your Mac:
  Note: You must have at least Windows XP with Service pack 3 for Windows Migration Wizard.
  Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus software and check if that helps.
  
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

• migration Assistant

  So disappointed with the migration wizard. I have a brand new mac book pro. Cannot use it. He's sitting in waiting for the box and my excitement to get a brilliant new machine is likely to dissipate.

  I have an old Mac book pro (mid 2010) and a lot of content. After you purchase the software (Office, Logic Pro etc) for this machine, I don't want to have to buy it all again. Assistant Migration will sort me, so I thought.

  So I ran assistant migration on both machines (with two computers connected to the same wi - fi network) and it seemed ok. The new machine saw the old man and if he said it will take 5 to 6 hours, which doesn't bother me. Unfortunately, after about 4 hours, I came back and the connection has been lost. Who knows why.

  So I decided to connect using an ethernet cable. Faster and more robust. The new macbook doesn't have an ethernet port so I looked into this and realized I needed a usb-ethernet adapter. On the Apple store, I had one in my hand, but the helpful chap he said I'd be better off with a thunderbolt cable. So I'm one of those.

  However, when I ran assistant migration on both machines a new did not find the former. Looking at it, I found that thunderbolt connection you must initialize the old machine in target disk mode (press T during startup). I did this and ran assistant migration on the new machine, but he did not find the old machine or drive. Depressed.

  I tried to get support online. I got a window saying that my chat session was to start soon. But he never would.

  The question is: How can I do this? I wasted my money on the Thunderbolt cable or if I buy an ethernet adapter will I have the same problem (with the new machine, do not recognize the old one)? Is migration wizard, the only way to do it?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. At the present time, I have my new book mac just sitting there, looking sad. I don't really want to start using it until I get this resolved and, indeed, there is not point - without the software, I need to do things. Why is it so difficult?

  Just past the same thing! I followed the instructions and updated my old MBP before, after the update error #1, all my files in the documents had disappeared and moved anywhere! Many of my photo papers are lost and only display the descriptions, not photos! After a full day of trying to transfer, I finally used my backup "passport for mac" and manually transferred files and tried to re - assemble all my document files. Before the migration and update, back up or store your old files on an external drive mac, time machine or cloud, in this way, you still have all your original documents.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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!

• Using an Airport Express to listen to music - ethernet cable or not?

  My wife - who bought me an Airport Express 802.11n Wi - Fi for Christmas - was reassured in a certified store to which he would have a wireless connection to my existing wifi to stream spotify on my stereo, but I could not set up like that. According to Apple's Support, the Airport Express must be connected to a modem via an ethernet cable to work, which totally contradicts the advice she was given. This will not work for me - the stereo is in a completely different room for the modem.

  Who is right?

  I can't find clear indications on the web.

  Thank you very much.

  A "modem" , it's just that... a device that connects to the service of your Internet service provider to another router with a wireless Ethernet cable. "modem" does not any signal wireless... only an Ethernet signal.

  A ' modem/router ' or the 'bridge' is a device that combines the functions of a modem and router wireless in one package. It provides a signal of wireless network for other wireless devices can connect to the Internet wirelessly.  The modem/router or gateway also provides several Ethernet ports... usually 3 or 4... for devices to connect in this way as an option.

  An AirPort Express can only connect to a modem using a wired Ethernet cable connection.

  An AirPort Express can connect to a modem/router or Gateway using either a wired Ethernet connection or a wireless connection.

  Who is right?

  It all depends on if you have a modem... .or you have a modem/router, also called a gateway.

  If you do not know what you... then post back with the number of brand and model of the device that you call your modem... and we will try to find what it is you have.

• Apple Migration Assistant problem - PC to iMac

  Trying to transfer files from old PC to the new iMac via the Migration Wizard with an Ethernet cable. Succeeded with the files in the c: on computer but no pictures and documents of a user. It connects very well, says it is mutating and when it's done it is said "' sorry, some files could not be transferred to _ user". "

  It turns out that "some cases" refers to all of them. Nothing is there. Also can't find those 'successful '. It transfers the user, but the user is empty.

  Is there a solution or another way to transfer files?

  Have you thought to manually copy the pictures/documents on a USB key or external hard drive and transfer them on the Mac in this way?

• How to connect a portable laptop Windows 8 with Windows 7 computer via Ethernet cable and transfer the data directly?

  I have a laptop Windows 8 . I want to connect to a new round of windows 7 and transfer the data at least 8 MB/s.

  Please send me the procedure to follow. I don't want to share Internet, but want to transfer data.

  You can do this, but you need a special type of Ethernet cable called a crossover cable.  This means the son in the swap position cables so that "send" and "receive" the computer two plugs can communicate.

• New HP Envy M6 only detect ethernet cable, very slow wifi

  Hello

  Sometimes, the wifi, I get 1mpbs on a 50mpps connection. I'll upload to 5 Mbps, which is normal (but why are my download speeds so slow?) Laptops and other devices work perfectly. Closer to my wireless router (well it's not a router, it is a TG862 of Arris Comcast) seems to alleviate the problem, but... I am no farther than 25 feet away from him in my room!

  I tried to solve this problem by updating the BIOS and the driver Qualcomm Atheros 9485 and apparently not helped at all.

  My concern REALLY, it's THAT EVERYTHING, nothing happens when I plug my ethernet cable into the left side of my laptop. It is in the correct port. It works fine in my xbox, my other laptop and my desktop computer. Other ethernet cables do not work or the other. I noticed there are two holes (which resemble lights) that don't light up, right where I plug the Ethernet cable.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03363657

  I followed these instructions piece by piece without success.

  Should I have a burst network card? Help, please! This notebook is so new and brilliant, my other is old and destroyed and won't even take a load! I greatly appreciate it.

  Hello Dollarsignrack,

  You have a problem with your network connection.

  It could be a defective material you may be substituted.

  First, turn off the computer.
  That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
  Press F9 to load the default values.
  Press F10 to save and exit.

  This should help to detect the Ethernet port.
  When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

  If it is still slow to go to HP.com and update the BIOS and software framework.

  Here are links to the updates.

  If you do not need to have the unit repaired.

  Here is a link to the phone number that you can call to HP.

  By clicking on the White Star congratulations on the left is a way of saying thanks!

  I would like to know how everything goes.

  Nice day.

• 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.
