[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1018360, member: 56231"] Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper are two applications that might work for you. I've read mixed reviews of CCC, whereas SD seems to do the job effectively. Have you considered networking your two computers? You'll need an ethernet hub (a.k.a. 'switch') in addition to your router, OR, a multi-port router. Two other ways are: 1. remove the drive from your old Mac and connect it to the new one via a USB adaptor kit. Transfer will be slow however. 2. guessing that you don't really want to use the old drive in the new Mac, [size=1]and you haven't specified what your two Macs are[/size], there is still however the option of transferring the hardware, ie. just move the drive over. Keep trying the Target mode meantime. It can be a bit of a lottery. [/QUOTE]
