Hi all,
Wow, I haven't participated in forums in a long time, so it's good to put my feet back in and hope I can help out as well.
I have a wee dilemma I'm trying to solve. I'm moving from one iMac with one hard drive to another iMac that has a formatted solid state drive (256GB) with 10.10.3 as well as a 1TB spinning platter hard drive. I had planned to transfer apps to the SSD and the rest to the HDD, but of course, it's not that simple!
I was thinking of just booting into target disk mode and using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the apps to the SSD and the contents of the user folder to the HD, but I don't think this will solve the disconnect issue that I think will occur when all the files that have been interacting from within the user folder are now kind of free-floating.
If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I'd really appreciate any help you could offer. Meanwhile, I'll head over to the forums and see if I can contribute in some positive way.
Thanks.
