Got a new imac for Xmas. Finally getting around to transferring stuff from old emac (yes, emac) to the new one. emac slow and full of many years of extra crap - wanted only to transfer stuff that I wanted to keep onto the imac. Yesterday used firewire and Migration Assistant to transfer. Wouldn't let me just take what I wanted - just sent EVERYTHING over. Now when I started up this morning, my imac is the absolute mirror image of the emac! Did I lose everything on my imac? Did the transfer REPLACE everything on my imac, or just add the emac stuff to it? I can't find my imac stuff, though I haven't really started searching too much. I'm too scared to do something that will permanently delete the wrong stuff.
How do I fix it? can I send everything back? Is the transfered stuff now overloading and clogging up my new computer (exactly what I did NOT want to happen)?
Please help.
