[QUOTE="Aygee, post: 1624370, member: 203796"] Interesting - the destructions on the support page state - "If your new Mac already has a user account with the same name as one you're trying to transfer, Migration Assistant lets you decide what to do. You can either replace the existing user on your new Mac, or give the user you're migrating a new account name." As has been found by myself and others this isn't correct! Am I reading your last paragraph correctly - I should transfer data and create a 2nd account then presumably I should be able to copy by activating file sharing? I'm kicking myself for not doing the data transfer as soon as I started the new machine!! Thank you. [/QUOTE]
