Too many Google pages pointed to wrong domain

I have a problem I need some help with, and I just realized it. I have developed a website on another domain, did some seo work with it before I moved it. Now it is on another domain, because I never expected Google to place it within 60 days.

This is the problem I have 55 pages, from top to bottom with Google results pointing to the wrong domain. The website is still there, and I am not going to remove it until I can get this fixed. Any ideas on what to do?

I was thinking about moving the domain to my new server, but the finished, but not ready for prime time website that will be finished this week, offers a lot more info, and is not being picked up by Google yet. The way I have the new website set up should have at least 2800 pages of Google results, and maybe more.

I have checked the seo on the site, and no where is the other website is listed, except on my privacy page, and terms of use page. I want to move the domain, but I do not want to raise any flags with Google. I am sure that Google will realize this eventually.

You're right - Google will sort out out this kind of thing if you make sure to use 301 redirects as needed and have all the other technical factors nailed down tight.

If I understand you correctly, I'd say just make the move and use the 301 redirect. You can also use the Change of Address utility in Webmaster Tools.

If I've misunderstood the whole problem, then please do let me know what part of the big picture I missed.
