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.

  • 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

    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:

  • Uninstalling CS4 on new computer after using Migration Assistant mistakenly

    As I've learned since then I made the mistake of using Migration Assistant for all my applications when I was transferred to a new mac pro.


    Which included CS4. It's good that it doesn't work anymore as I will install CS6 Production Premium that I have as a disc.


    All I want to do at this point is to uninstall the non-functioning CS4.

    I tried the cleaning of Adobe tool but I can't uninstall CS4 yet. The first time I ran it, it seems that he cleaned up several applications.


    I thought that may have solved the problem, but now when I click on uninstall to each application, nothing happens.


    I tried to then run the cleanup tool, and he mentions most everything that I have to clean as it did the first time that I ran it.


    I read a lot of discussion, but I can't seem to find an answer that works.

    Thanks for any idea that you can provide!

    correctly install cs4 (to install work uninstall programs) and then uninstall and clean.

    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.

  • Using DAQ Assistant with a system remotely

    I'm new to LabVIEW and National Instruments hardware and I am trying to use an instrument with LabVIEW using the DAQ Assistant. I use a PC with Windows Vista and I am connected via a network to a PXI-8108 controller in a PXI-1050 chasiss chassis. The instrument is just a thermocouple which I use to become familiar with everything. The thermocouple is connected and the connection SCB-68 block which is connected to a PXI-6221 multifunction data acquisition in the chassis. I am able to create a task in MAX under remote system and everything seems to work. What I want to do is to use this instrument in LabVIEW, and it seems that for this I need to use the DAQ Assistant, but when I do it says no supported device is found. I wonder if there is a way to get LabVIEW lean on the remote system to see the acquisition of data and the thermocouple.

    All advice is appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi all

    Ben is correct.  RDA is no longer supported in DAQmx.  We have another way to use DAQmx with a remote system.  It is use DAQmx with an OPC server or simply by shared network variables.  There is a section of the base of knowledge here that should help you get started.  You should also take a look at the developer section area here.  The basic idea is that you can use a variable shared within labVIEW that is bound to a variable shared on your networked machine.  In this way, you can write and read values from a task DAQmx.  Look at the instructions in the above two items and let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind regards

  • Using Migration Assistant on Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro 25 GHz to replace my old Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz (PowerPC) under OS X 10.4.11. The new Macbook has OS X El Capitan charge and I need to transfer all my files, photos, emails, etc. from my old laptop. The sales guy said I should be able to use the Migration Wizard of Pro Macbook via Wifi on the initial start-up to transfer any.

    I'm just a little doubtful if possible, as Apple suggest that OS X 10.6.8 is required. I don't want to try this and end up damaging the new Macbook Pro. I know that I can use an external hard drive and drag-and - drop files, photos etc but how can I transfer e-mail and other settings, I'm not sure.

    Appreciate any advice on this procedure.

    If the two computers can connect via cable or wireless to your home network, you can enable file sharing on the PB to access the files. I don't know if it works because your PB is kind of old. You may need to install Leopard for it to work.

    Rather it is why not take the HARD drive on the PB, but in an external box with USB; ports. Connect on the new computer and use the Migration Wizard to import your data. If you happen to have a backup Time Machine of the PB, then you can also migrate from the backup drive.

    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!

  • 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?

    This article can help you

    https://www.macissues.com/2014/05/21/how-to-combine-two-accounts-in-OS-x/

    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.

  • Migration Assistant tips - model 2009 to 2016 New

    I would like to use the Migration Wizard to move date of old new iMac, but was one could move "crud".  Any advice?

    Old machine is 2009 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.8.5.  It may be shocking slow (more than a minute to answer a click sometimes).  Concern that the hard drive may be out.  I used Migration Assistant to least an older eMac it before and quite possible an original iMac before that.  So there are many old things lurking there in.

    I've already implemented the new machine slot a new name (some say bad idea).  However, new machine has been used for web and e-mail Web since he was pulled up.  So maybe I can go and rename?

    I don't have a ton of time to move much more than the docs if I don't use MY that I don't have time to learn all the intricacies of what lies where.

    Great dangers if I use MY or just hover over the docs and start over?

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    You must use the Migration Wizard the first time you start your new Mac, after that it will create another user admin and that can cause you problems. Wipe the drive and start again are the simplest solution. Most of the "crud" is small files that not harm. To determine if one of your crud is harmful, please download and run EtreCheck. It is a diagnostic tool that is very useful for us to find problems. It will also give us additional specifications on your Mac. After his execution after the logfile here. It will never contain any personal information.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

  • I am trying to download the trial version of Adobe Pro XI but the Download Assistant does not display it in the list despite the signing in. What is wrong with him?

    I am trying to download the trial version of Adobe Pro XI but the Download Assistant does not display it in the list despite the signing in. What is wrong with him?

    I had the same problem - my solution:

    1. If you create a connection to Adobe, make sure that you click the verification link in the email sent to you to verify your account.

    2. I leave the download Assistant, then began the process to download the original page download Assistant - he asked if I wanted to run the already downloaded version, which I chose.

    3. once the download wizard opens again, I logged in using my newly created connection and then, he showed the free trial in the product list (it has not been listed as free, but it was).

    My download is happening now - about 1 hour to go.
