#Transferring to new macbook pro migration assistant manual
Not a single file appears on "Macintosh HD" on the new Mac.Īny ideas? Apple can't help me in the store until Monday, so I thought I'd ask here.Īlso not really an answer but more a practical approach.Īnother idea that requires manual work. Here's where it gets really, really bizarre: I can't find any sign of the files transferred on the new Mac after I've stopped it. I've looked on the system drive for a log, but I haven't found one.
There's something in the backup or my applications setup that's causing the migration to get stuck in a loop. That being said, this is a refurb, it's possible something is wrong that only affects the new machine during long transfers. I've already run the hardware diagnostics, but nothing shows up. I've tried it 4 times since then (including a complete system reinstall), and the same thing happens every time. By morning it was saying there would be over 250 hours to completion. All the while, the completion time (which was "about a minute" starts creeping up.) The first time I let it run all night. At first, the screen shows "Transferring Applications"/"Transferring files to support applications" pretty fast. I've tried transferring over a direct-connected Ethernet from Mac-to-Mac, as well as a brand new Time Machine backup to an external SSD connected via a Thunderbolt 1 breakout box.Įvery time I try to transfer, the transfer makes it to the applications stage in a reasonable amount of time.
The amount of information being transferred is about 120Gb. I am trying to transfer my existing (Early 2008) Mac Pro to a new (refurb) 2013 Mac Pro.
