I just bought an iMac running Snow Leopard.
I wish to migrate all my data (apps, e-mails, docs) from my previous Mac Mini running Tiger to the iMac.
I try using the migration assistant without firewire cable (through a direct ethernet cable or through a WiFi LAN).
I get as far as entering the code generated by the iMac on the Mini, but then the Mini asks for the code a second time and after a few seconds starts searching for other computers while the iMac waits with preparing the data.
If I go back on the iMac, it generates a new code which the Mini detects and allows to enter it but the loop described above starts again.
On the Mini, the OS is X.4.11 and the migration assistant is version 1.0.6 (101.1).
The iMac is running X.6.2 and migration assistant version 3.0 (318).
Any ideas why the transfer does not get any further?
Thanks.
