[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1635271, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. The best way to migrate data from an older Mac to a new one is to use Time Machine. A full Time Machine backup will migrate everything. The key is to use the automatic Migration Assistant when you first turn on the new Mac and it asks if you wish to migrate data from another Mac. You need to do that prior to creating an account on the new Mac. You didn't tell us exactly how you migrated the data but your data should be in a folder with your old account name from the previous Mac. For example if your old account name was "Annie", then that will be the name of the folder where the data was placed. [/QUOTE]
