Some color correcting stations run hardware upgraded MacPros (the aluminum ones that came before the latest 'trashcan' design) with El Capitan. Therefore some of the workstations we use still run on Mountain Lion and even Snow Leopard for stability and performance reasons. It's a known fact in my field of work that Apple computers get slower with (major)updates.

It's not like it's an all or nothing thing, where it's empty until it's finished.Hello everyone, so I've ordered a Samsung 850 EVO 250Gb and 8Gb RAM from Corsair to revive a family members' MacBook Pro 13" late 2011. I'd be shocked if that was anything other than super easy.īTW, the reason you had two accounts on your machine is because the Migration Assistant had already set up the account, it just died while it was populating it. An even easier way to do it would be to make a time machine backup of your old machine (which you should be doing, regardless), and use that to restore your new laptop. Just make sure one of the machines doesn't conk out before the transfer is done (which I suspect is what caused your problems the first time). Hopefully there aren't many issues going from snow leopard to el capitan. Thanks, that's what I was planning to do now that everything seems to be working on the 2nd go around.Īt some point I need to run the migration assistant for my machine, to go from a really old MBP to my new one. If the second one went off fine, everything you need should be in there. You can go ahead and just straight delete the first account I think. It takes a lot longer than just straight copying over, so maybe that was the problem. To answer your question: sounds like the first time you tried it one of the machines crapped out before it was done, but the second time it worked just fine.

I've never used it to go from Windows to Mac, but I've used it from Mac to Mac a ton of times and never had any problems, but that sucks you had such troubles. In other news, Migration Assistant sucks, and Apple really should fix it. I think what I may do after all this is just delete the other account, and move forward with the one created today. We're using the newly created one courtesy of the migration assistant since that's where all her files are. We re-did the migration today, and now she has 2 accounts on the mac. It was painful last night (the windows box timed out, left the mac in a weird state, and then I reinstalled the OS and it still had the partially migrated computer account for some reason). Instead, we migrated her docs, iTunes, photos and more from her windows box onto the mac using migration assistant. Looking back on it, that is the path we should have taken. It's probably easiest to set the mac up fresh, throw them on the same network and manually pull stuff from the old machine.

Not that I can help much but what are you trying to migrate? My question is, if the migration works fine, and we now have 2 accounts on the machine, is there a way to merge the 2 accounts into 1? It would be awesome to just have 1 account on the Mac when this is all done. My wife is pretty much ready to return the Macbook if there are any more issues during the set up process as she hasn't had a chance to even use her new machine and has just had the nightmare of Migration Assistant so far. In 4 hours I'll know if that was the right choice. We chose keep both accounts because I just wanted to get the migration of data done and not screw up what we already had working. This morning, we're trying the migration assistant again, and during the process it asked if we wanted to keep both accounts, or replace the account. I thought, no biggie, we signed in, and set up the apple account and whatnot. I reinstalled the OS, but for some reason it still had the migrated windows account on the machine. During the set up we did the Migration assistant (knowing what we know now, we probably wouldn't have done this), only to have it die with about 30 mins to go. I convinced my wife to switch to Mac as her old Windows machine was dying. Help me OSX masters, you are my only hope.
