[QUOTE="charlie h, post: 1371781, member: 238777"] I bought a new MacBook Pro because my PowerBook G4 is gradually failing. Tried to set up Migration Assistant to bring files over, but my Powerbook has oddly decided to require name and password when I try to turn it on, and my established name/password will not work. At Apple store they said computer will do this as it fails and that Migration Assistant from new computer should be able to override, but I have had no success. New MacBook just reports "looking for Other Computers" endlessly and will not find my attached via Firewire Power Book on OS X. Am I missing something simple? Please help! [/QUOTE]
