[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1004049, member: 24160"] Need to read more... In summary... He's got a dmg image on an external drive created from his older Intel MBP via Disk Utility. He has a new MBP. Has already tried the restore method via Disk Utility and it does not work. The scan returns an error. Has now tried using Migration Assistant connected to the external drive and it sits there doing nothing. I have never tried using a dmg image to restore as I found SuperDuper! right away. My only suggestion at this point (assuming you still have the old MBP) is to choose the wireless method in Migration Assistant and direct from the old MBP, not from the image you've created.
