Hi, The big problem is, every time I shut down, I have to log in again and that's so annoying. Is there any way I can undo this back to the way it was before I used Migration assistant. I don't have a backup on Time Machine of this. Courtney On Jun 26, 2010, at 7:18 AM, Cody Hurst wrote: > migra

The table does allow you to expand by using VO-shift-\ and if that fails because my memory has failed me, try without shift. Either way I have done this many times and if you pay close attention to the instructions, you can't mess things up at all. It only gets messy if you try to migrate data t

Did you correctly configure the options before starting the migration? I have used the MIgration Assistant for many years and have had no problems moving files and such from one Mac to another. On Jun 25, 2010, at 10:48 PM, Cody Hurst wrote: > oddly enough, migration assistant took over an hour,

Not having followed this thread very closely, there is nothing complex about transferring files etc. THe question is what are you trying to accomplish. If your goal is to migrate data from one Mac to another, then you simply use the Migration tool, which is very efficient and effective. If your

there nothing you have to undo, just check the on box under sharing next to filesharing and copy your shared content into the public folder of your user name. I'm trying to figure out if I can just share files from where they are without having to copy them but I guess it's better than way. On J

oddly enough, migration assistant took over an hour, and none of my files were copied although it did copy my applications and a few settings but non of my files. I didn't care for it On Jun 25, 2010, at 7:45 PM, Chris Snyder wrote: > Hi Courtney, > I synced my macbook with my mini by using Migr

Yes macs come with firewire 800 but no firewire cables. unless you've got settings and applications you want to migrate for a new mac, then use file sharing foranything else you can do this wirelessly or probably via usb cable. On Jun 25, 2010, at 6:39 PM, Courtney Curran wrote: > Does a Firewir

Nope, if you share the public folder on the mac you want to share, by going to system preferences, sharing and check the on box for file sharing you can copy your files into your user names public folder and then you'll be able to see it on the other mac by going up to the finder emnu, the go me

Have a look in the utility folder at a application called migration tool, you can also connect two macs together via a firewire cable and place the mac you wish to receive data from in target mode, look at the mac help (help menu within finder) for details about target mode. On 25 Jun 2010, at 2
