Hi all,
I've recently been given a 24inch imac to replace my ageing 17inch intel. My issue lies in that i have the 17 inch running Snow Leopard and the newer mac is running Leopard. The newer mac has a clean install so on start up i am offered the option to migrate from the older mac. Obviously it will not allow me to do this due to the different os x's, so i have to create a new account and install Snow Leopard onto the newer mac. After doing this and using migration assistant via firewire, all the data such as itunes and Aperture photos etc are not in the correct place, photos are locked etc and it's a bit of a nightmare!!I have used the same account info on both macs but don't understand what i'm doing wrong?!! Any help will be greatly appreciated!
