If migration doesn't work
If the steps above don't work as expected, check these things.
Quit other PC apps.
Use these steps to make sure no other applications are open on your PC while you're trying to migrate your data:
- To migrate from a Microsoft Windows-based computer to an Apple Mac computer takes only one piece of software — Migration Assistant. Transferring material from a PC to a Mac used to be a daunting task. Since Apple has redesigned and use Intel-based processors, migrating your files and preferences has become a point-and-click process.
- Apple Migration Assistant. This program is installed by default on all Macs running OS X Lion or later. In order for it to copy data from your PC, you will need to install the Windows version of the program on your PC. First, download the Windows Migration Assistant program.
- Press Alt-Tab to choose an open application.
- Press Alt-F4 to quit the selected application.
Check your network connection. If your PC doesn't appear in the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant window on your Mac, make sure they're both connected to the same network. You can create an isolated network by connecting a single Ethernet cable between your Mac and PC. If Migration Assistant on your Mac still doesn't list your PC, try disabling any Firewall software on your PC that might block network ports needed for Windows Migration Assistant to work. You can re-enable your firewall software after you're done migrating.
Disable anti-virus software. If Migration Assistant won't open on your PC, temporarily disable any anti-virus software on your PC and try opening Migration Assistant again. You can re-enable your anti-virus software after migration is finished.
If you're unable to use Migration Assistant to transfer your files from your PC to your Mac, you can also manually copy your important data to your Mac using an external drive or file sharing.
