[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1606316"] Also be aware that if you had already created an account on the Mini before you ran Migration Assistant, that MA will create a NEW account into which it will put the migrated files. They won't show up in your original account. MA does that because it was programmed to avoid overwriting anything you might have created in your account, so instead, it creates a totally new account. To get the files from that new account to your account, use the shared folders. Copy the files from the new account to shared, then MOVE them from the shared to your account. Once that is successful, you can go back and delete them from the new account and even remove that account through System Preferences/Users and Groups menu. [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
