[QUOTE="charlie h, post: 1371817, member: 238777"] [b]migration[/b] No matter how I boot up my Powerbook, it stops at name and password, and seems to have reset them---so I can't get in. Connected by Firewire or independently booted, computer does same thing. At Apple Store they said following migration assistant instructions with pressing "T" etc as I booted up old computer would override computer and that I would be able to access files etc for transfer. I've tried fifty different variations and actually succeeded in transferring "apps and few files " on hard drive (hard-drive icon appeared on my new desktop), but none of my documents, photos, or itunes--all on old computer--- have ever popped up or been available for transfer. If I can't get in to my old computer and can't override it to get in, how can I transfer?? [/QUOTE]
