[QUOTE="olyman, post: 1800229, member: 396005"] [b]Migrating to new iMc[/b] OK. This is what I did when I got my shiny new iMac. I did what it said on the tin, used migration assistant, but, it was taking a long time to do anything, I left it for a day and the bar was not moving, hence my first question on here, little realising that there was a better way to move my data from my old mac. My Data has not been carried over to my new mac with my old account, just my email and contact details, would that be because I stopped it? I can make a full Time Machine backup on an external drive, and do as chscag suggests, but I assume I need to get rid of the new account first? Reading the links posted by Ian it seems that I can 'turn the new account into an admin account, and transfer all your data into this account, then delete the initial admin account.' That may be the best option for me but how do I do that? [/QUOTE]
