[QUOTE="krs, post: 1811313, member: 67742"] This is exactly what I ended up doing. So far it works fine with a few exceptions - which may actually be normal Exeption 1 - the passwords for Apple Mail didn't transfer to the new Mac. The passord field was empty. adding the password manually for the two mail accounts made that work. Exception 2 - There were some games on the old Mac downloaded from the Apple store. They didn't work on the new Mac after cloning, Apple seems to check the hardware. Plan is to delete those and get them from the Apple store again - I assume without having to pay again. I will try that tomorrow. I also read that Microsoft applications have to be reregistered bcause of the new hardware, but that didn't happen. I tried Word, Excel and PowerPoint - they all work fine on the new Mac. [/QUOTE]
