[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1640961, member: 175845"] I'm a bit surprised that a wired mouse doesn't work, but even if it did you're still going to need some more adapters if your new MBPro, like all recent models doesn't have Firewire or Ethernet ports. So you'll probably need a Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter, and as they only have FW 800 connection. you'll need a FW 800 to FW 400 adapter and a FW 400 cable. TB-FW adapter about $30.00 from Apple FW800-FW400 adapter about $30.00 FW 400 cable about $20.00± Then with all that, you can boot the old MB into [B]Target Disk Mode[/B] and connect the two Macs, and the old MB should mount and act like an external hard drive, then you can move stuff etc. I just had to do the same thing with an older 2006 iMac and a new iMac. And a bit of a PITA as well and a loooong time to Migrate stuff, and a lot that didn't work and update properly. More PITA stuff but finally succeeded after a 10.10.2 update and many hours of intense work!! Sorry, but just a heads up warning and no thanks to Yosemite until it was updated to the latest OS. :( [/QUOTE]
