[QUOTE="jm555, post: 1482669, member: 288283"] Hi, I've just registered after experiencing problems backing up my wifes Imac to my macbook pro. I am running OS X 10.7.5 on both machines. I created a new user account in my wifes name, then using migration assistant and a firewire cable I copied across all the information. So I thought!! My hardrive is now full on the macbook pro but no sign of my wifes files anywhere. The Imac goes back to apple tomorrow for a hard drive replacement and now i'm stuck. I have made a back up using time machine but this also will not let me transfer to the macbook pro as the hard drive is now full, well almost, 4 gb left. I have searched on this forum and see others have experienced similar problems and have found the files in the home folder. I have searched there and also have tried spotlight and all my files on both user accounts. After years of tearing my hair out on Microsoft based machines this is the last thing I expected from Apple! Any help will be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
