I need help on Migration Assistant. I need to transfer files to my MBP '11 os x lion. I updated both of my computers to the lastest whatever version they are for both os x. I am wondering what's the lastest version of MA for snow leopard to transfer the files to os x lion? I tried to transfer, but the target mac can't receive any information from source mac... help.
Got a tip for us?

What computer are you transferring from? make sure you follow the instructions correctly, plugging the firewire cable in correctly n all that, as the computers don't recognise each other else.
What kind of errors are occurring?
Need some more specifics

thx for reply. I am transferring from MBP '11 to MacPro 09 10.6.8 wirelessly.
You won't be able to transfer in that direction...but I think you're stating it backwards here.
I'm pretty sure the latest for SL is Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard v1.0.
You'll have a much better experience if you can connect those two directly to your router via ethernet.
I wasn't even aware that migration assistant worked over wireless, I have only previously gotten it to work (albeit thats only once) via ethernet.
I agree with BrianBaughn, if apparently migration assistant does work via wireless, then cool, but it will take about 7 years to transfer all the stuff across. Ethernet is a much more viable option, heck, use firewire 400, although both your machines should have 800 so that will be faster than wireless as well...
Good luck
