Data Migration Assistant (DMA) enables you to upgrade to a modern data platform by detecting compatibility issues that can impact database functionality on your new version of SQL Server. It recommends performance and reliability improvements for your target environment. It allows you to not only move your schema and data, but also uncontained objects from your source server to your target server. Migration Assistant copies all of your files to your new Mac so that you don't have to copy your files manually. If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the PC migration steps instead. If your new Mac is using OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or earlier, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.

A quick and easy guide to migrating your Windows PC to MAC OSx

With the release of Microsoft's new operating system 'Windows 8', some people are considering whether to stay with Windows or make the move over to Mac rather than upgrading.

  1. Download Windows Migration Assistant (Lion-El Capitan) Select what to transfer, then click Continue. For information about what you can transfer or about transferring information from a Mac or a disk, see Transfer info to Mac from another computer or device.
  2. Thanks for using Apple Support Communities, Mariebreensmyth! I see you're using Migration Assistant to transfer the files on your Windows PC to your iMac but not all of it crossed over. I'll be glad to help you with this. Move your data from a Windows PC to a Mac. If migration doesn't work. If the steps above don't work as expected, check these.

But how do you take such a leap? Well rest assured it's actually easier than you might think, more like a little hop.

The two latest versions of OS X, Lion and Mountain Lion, both include a utility called the 'Migration Assistant' which provides an automated way to migrate your files from a Windows PC.

What data is migrated by Migration Assistant?

  • User Account
  • Files (documents, photos and videos)
  • Email
  • Contacts
  • Calendars
  • ITunes
  • Browser Settings for Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox

Apple's Migration Assistant is capable of transferring data from a number of Windows mail applications including Microsoft Outlook (2003, 2007 and 2010 32-bit versions), Outlook Express, Windows Mail and Windows Mail Live Mail.

If you have iTunes for Windows installed then your iTunes library including music, photos, videos, apps and games for iOS devices, will be copied over.

What data is NOT migrated by Migration Assistant?

  • Windows Applications
  • User Account Passwords

No Windows applications are copied over because Mac cannot run Windows software and for that reason you might not be able to open some files created by missing Windows applications. For example you will need to install Microsoft Word for Mac (or an alternative word processing application for Mac) to enable you to open all those lovely Word documents you have just moved.

How to Transfer

The easiest method to perform this task is by connecting your new Mac and PC to the same home/office network and running the Migration Assistant Wizard on the Mac and the Windows Migration Assistant on your PC (this is a free program written by Apple).

Windows Migration Assistant v1.0.1 can be downloaded here:

To make the transfer more seamless it is advisable that you disable Windows Updates on your PC and ensure both machines are connected to the internet.

Simply download and run the Windows Migration Assistant on your PC, where it will wait for a response from the Migration Assistant on the Mac.

Running the Migration Assistant on the Mac will present you with clear step by step instructions that will guide you through the process and it's from here that you'll be able to confirm exactly what folders and data you want to migrate.

Once you have selected the options the length of time that it takes will depend on the number and size of the files being migrated, and the speed of the network.

That's really all there is to it!

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.
