[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1584844, member: 46727"] A little further explanation about using the Migration Assistant: When you first turn on your new refurbished MBP, the Migration Assistant will automatically run. Do not, and I repeat, do not create an account on the new machine until you have transferred everything over from the old one. And the easiest way to do that is make a full Time Machine backup of the old machine, attach the Time Machine drive to the new one when the automatic Migration Assistant runs and you'll have everything on the new machine in a short matter of time. If you create an account on the new machine first, you will have a mass of confusion when the Migration Assistant runs. You'll wind up with data in two accounts and it will be a real mess. [/QUOTE]
