[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1015324, member: 24160"] If you used Migration Assistant to transfer not only your data but your preferences also, yes the desktop and everything else probably looks a lot like your eMac. That's what it's suppose to do, move your stuff to the new machine. It just added your data and preference settings to the iMac. Whatever version of the OS you had on that eMac wouldn't even run on your iMac. Open up About This Mac to verify you're still running 10.6. Overloading and clogging up???? Only you can answer that by checking how much free space you still have, unlikely though that your old machine had a big enough hard drive to affect the iMac. You should be able to delete whatever data from your user account it moved that you no longer want and readjust any preferences you like. Just don't delete anything that you don't know what it is. And to be on the safe side, once you delete, don't empty the trash for a few days. That way you can always move it back if you want. Can't find your iMac stuff??? That doesn't tell us anything. What does that mean? [/QUOTE]
