OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

Summary

You can use Migration Assistant in OS X Lion to transfer important information, such as user accounts, applications, network and computer settings, and files, from one Mac computer to another via a FireWire cable, ThunderBolt cable, or via an Ethernet or wireless network.
Note: The instructions in this article refer to Migration Assistant, but they also apply to migrations performed using the Setup Assistant. Setup Assistant starts the first time you start up your new Mac and helps you enter your Internet information and set up a user account on your computer. If you don't use Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first setup your new Mac, you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
You can connect your Macs in one of four ways to transfer information with Migration Assistant:
  • FireWire or ThunderBolt
  • Wireless (Wi-Fi) or Ethernet
  • Time Machine backup or other disk
  • If you're using a portable Mac, make sure the power cable is connected.
  • Run Software Update on the source Mac to confirm that the latest updates are installed.
  • On the source (original) Mac, make sure that you have the latest versions of any third-party software.
  • On the source Mac, open System Preferences, click Sharing, and make sure there is a name in the Computer Name field.
  • Do not let either computer go to sleep while you are attempting to migrate. To disable sleep: 
    1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu. 
    2. Choose Energy Saver from the View menu.
    3. Adjust the "Computer sleep:" slider to Never.
  • To use Ethernet for migration, connect the two computers with a single Ethernet cable; you don't need to connect the computers to a hub, switch, or router. This may be faster than using a wireless connection. For the best experience, be sure to attach your source and target Macs to the wired network before you start.
  • If you choose a wireless migration, make sure you are on the best wireless connection available. Use the Signal Strength meter in the upper right corner of your screen to find a location that provides the best signal to your source computer before you start. You may also want to eliminate potential sources of interference as well. The best wireless migration experience will be on an 802.11n network.

Note: If migrating from Mac OS X v10.4 to OS X Lion, see the Additional Information section below.
  1. Make sure both computers are connected via FireWire or ThunderBolt.
  2. Restart the source (original) Mac while pressing and holding the "T" key.
  3. If Migration Assistant isn't already open on your target (new) Mac, open Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/), then click Continue.
  4. When the target Mac asks you for a migration method, select "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk", and click Continue.
  5. Type in your admin password when prompted, and click OK.
  6. Select "From a Time Machine backup or other disk".
  7. Select the system that you would like to migrate.
  8. Your target Mac will ask you to select items to migrate.
  9. You can customize your selection by clicking to expand the disclosure triangles.

     
  10. After you click Continue, the Migration Assistant will begin to transfer files to your new Mac. The amount of time that it takes for migration to complete depends on the amount of data being transferred.
Note: To view documents that were migrated, choose Log Out from the Apple () menu, then login as the migrated user. The migrated documents will be located in the migrated user's home folder.


  1. Make sure that the source Mac and target Macs are connected to the same network, either wirelessly or via Ethernet. (You can directly connect the two Macs via an Ethernet cable if both are Ethernet capable. To make MacBook Air Ethernet capable, connect using the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter.)
  2. If Migration Assistant isn't running on the target (new) Mac, open Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/), then click Continue.
  3. On the target Mac select "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup or other disk"
  4. Type in your admin password when prompted and click OK.
  5. When the target Mac asks you for a migration method, select "From another Mac or PC ", then click Continue.
     
  6. You will see a screen looking for Other Computers.

  7. On the source Mac, open Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/), select "To Another Mac", and select Continue.

  8. Type in your admin password when prompted and click OK.
     
  9. On the Target Mac, close all other applications, then click Continue to start the migration options.

  15. After you click Continue, the Migration Assistant will begin to transfer files to the target Mac. The amount of time that it takes for migration to complete depends on the amount of data being transferred and the speed of the network.
Note: To view documents that were migrated, choose Log Out from the Apple () menu, then login as the migrated user. The migrated documents will be located in the migrated user's home folder.



  1. If Migration Assistant isn't running on the target (new) Mac, open Migration Assistant (located in /Applications/Utilities/), select "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" then click Continue.
  2. Connect your external hard drive if necessary.
  3. Type in your admin password when prompted and click OK.
  4.  When the target Mac asks you for a migration method, select "From a Time Machine backup or other disk", then click Continue.

  7. The source Mac will ask you to select items to migrate.
  8. You can customize your selection by clicking to open the disclosure triangles.

     
  9. After you click Continue, the Migration Assistant will begin to transfer files to the target Mac. The amount of time that it takes for migration to complete depends on the amount of data being transferred and the speed of the network.

Additional Information

Migration from Mac OS X v10.4 computers to OS X Lion over your Wi-Fi or a wired network is not supported. However, if both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port, you can use Target Disk Mode to transfer your data:
  1. Verify that both Macs are equipped with a FireWire port. Note that different model Macs may have different FireWire connectors, which will require an appropriate cable, such as FireWire 400 to FireWire 800.
  2. On the Mac you want to transfer data from, Restart, and immediately hold the T key.
  3. Wait for the FireWire logo to appear on the screen.  If it does not, restart and try again.
  4. Connect both Macs via the FireWire cable.
  5. On the Mac you want to transfer data to, Open the Migration Assistant application.
  6. Select the option "From another Mac, PC, Time Machine backup, or other disk" and click Continue.
  7. Select the option "From a Time Machine backup or other disk" and click Continue.
  8. Select your other Mac's volume, such as "Macintosh HD", from the list, and click Continue
Try migrating by using Internet Sharing from your source computer.
  1. Set up a home connection from your source computer.
  2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then Sharing from the View menu.
  3. Select Internet Sharing.
  4. Select a network service from the “Share your connection from” menu. Do not choose Wi-Fi for this step.
    Note: You can use built-in FireWire or ThunderBolt for example.  You do not need to be connected to the Internet to transmit data for data migration.
  5. Select Wi-Fi to share your Internet connection from the “To computers using” list.
  6. Click Wi-Fi Options and give your network a name and password.
  7. On your target computer, connect to the Wi-Fi network you created.
Learn what to do if a migrated application does not open or function correctly.
If your source computer has FileVault enabled, you should re-enable FileVault on the target computer after migration.
