[QUOTE="LeslieT, post: 1092793, member: 167636"] I moved the Safari folder from where Migration Assistant put it to the Home Library. Next, I opened Safari; no bookmarks were there. I moved the Address Book folder to Home Library/Application Support/ and got the following error message: "Operation can't be completed because the item "MailRecents-v4.abcdmr" is in use." When I opened the folder MA moved into the Mcintosh library, I saw a number of files, including a com.apple. file. I moved this Keychain folder to the Home Library and got the message that the operation couldn't be completed because the log-in keychain was in use. When I checked back with the moved folder which was now back into its location under Mcintosh HD, all the files except login keychain were gone! I moved the Cookie folder, but because there's no listing that I can find, don't know if the vital cookies for subscription sites moved. Plus, there's no Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation folder at all in which to put HTTPCookies.plist (if I ever had one in the first place). I am thoroughly discouraged with this entire process. Except, wait . . . this is my primary computer and the Mini can't hack my workload. It has occurred to me to wipe out the iMac's hard drive, reinstall OS X, update it and then try some other method to get the Mini's data transferred. The thing is: everything else transferred beautifully (even, at first glance, the virtual machine). It's only the exact things for which I use the Mac that didn't transfer: all email and all internet research. I don't use a single other application on the Mac - not the calendar, word processing, etc.! LeslieT [/QUOTE]
