	Move2Mac 5.2 Fails to Transfer the PC Files

Solution If Move2Mac 5.2 will not transfer the PC files to the Mac, then please follow these steps:

On the PC:

DO NOT RE-RUN Move2Mac – the 'Repository' folder that's been created will work

1) Right click on My Computer and select Manage from the menu

2) Open System Tools

3) Open Shared Folders

4) Open Shares

5) In the right pane, find any shares that are pathed to the PC Migration folder on the desktop, right click on them, and select “Stop Sharing”

6) Right click on the PC Migration folder on the desktop

7) Select the sharing tab

8) Click “Share this folder”

9) Ensure that the share name is “PC Migration”

Note: If not on a “Home” version of the OS, click on the Permissions button, and ensure that “Everyone” has read access to the share.

On the Mac:

1) Click Go in the Finder menus

2) Select “Connect to Server…”

3) In the dialog, if it shows up, select the PC Migration share on your PC. If it does not, then enter:

“smb://{your PC computer name}/PC Migration”

4) When the “Connect As:” dialog shows up:

a) Select “Registered User”

b) Enter your PC user name and PC user password

c) Click Connect

If the Mac connects to the PC share, then run Move2Mac on the Mac – the transfer will then move over the PC files.
