Now it’s time to connect the computers. If your old computer has a Thunderbolt port, connect the two computers to each other using a Thunderbolt cable. Next, to be sure you don’t choose to use the network for your migration, click the Wi-Fi button in the Menu Bar and chose Turn Wi-Fi Off. That will keep your computer from taking a nap during the migration. Select Power Adapter and then drag the Computer Sleep slider all the way to the right, to Never. Go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu. On your old computer, be sure your computer is plugged in and not on battery. Now, you can jump right into the following instructions. That’s the good news!!! To stop it, press Command + Q on both computers. This requires a little work, but it’s easy and fast! If you have found this post because you’re stuck in the middle of a slow migration, don’t despair. Three hours later, we were still at about 15 hours on that countdown! Hmmm… Then, I noticed that my old laptop seemed inclined to go to sleep. I chose our home network and let ‘er rip… A timer with the amount of time required appeared on the screen… over 15 hours. Migration Assistant was easy to find on the new one, and I rashly decided that I didn’t need to connect the two with anything as old fashioned as a cable.

I hope this helps make your migration seamless!įirst of all, wrong way… Full of enthusiasm, I turned on my old laptop and my new one. So, in the fine tradition of “Do as I say, not as I do”, here is the wrong way to do it and the right. I love my new MacBook Pro, running the new operating system, Mavericks! But when I started to migrate my files and applications from my old Mac laptop, which was running Mountain Lion, I made some really big mistakes.
