[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1576884, member: 46727"] Here's what you can do to straighten things out: First make a Time Machine backup of your old Mac, backup everything to an external hard drive. Next, start fresh with your new MacBook Pro: Boot to the recovery partition of your new MacBook Pro by holding down the command + r keys. Once in recovery, select utilities, Disk Utility. Erase the MacIntosh HD. (you must erase, do not install over the top of your current installation) Reinstall Mavericks via the internet from the Mac App store. That will give you a brand new clean install of Mavericks. Next, attach your Time Machine backup drive to your new Mac. Reboot the new Mac. It will automatically bring up the Migration Assistant and ask if you wish to transfer data from another Mac. Reply yes, and select your Time Machine backup. Press OK. (Do not under any circumstance create an account on the new Mac!) It may take a while to complete the transfer but when it's finished all your data and original account will be transferred to the new Mac and you'll be ready to go. You can then select software update and update Mavericks and whatever else needs updating. [/QUOTE]
