[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1294490, member: 46727"] Use your Time Machine backup to do the migration. The Migration Assistant can lead to problems especially when doing a selective migration. Time Machine is the best bet when setting up a new machine. It will not overwrite system files or kernel extensions so there is no worry there. When we received our new iMac I used TM to migrate everything from an older MacBook running Snow Leopard. It was fast, smooth, no problems whatsoever. [/QUOTE]
