[QUOTE="JoshJ, post: 1641886, member: 282115"] Hey guys, I have recently purchased a new mac. I want to copy all my application files (including project file from Logic, Word, Excel, Pdfs,etc) to my new mac without copying all the system files that these applications use that will inadvertently clog up my new mac. Just had a couple of questions; 1. If I use Migration Assistant & just choose the "Documents & Data" option only, what exactly will be copied across? What folders do I select & deselect to make sure its will just copy across document files, and how can I be sure non of those folders I have deselected dont have application documents I need (ie an obscure system directly may have the odd word document in it)? 2. I dont want to copy all the system data back to my new mac but I DO want my Tags back just as i set them up on my old finder, and i also want all my files/folders to be tagged as they were before. How can I achieve this? Many thanks, Josh [/QUOTE]
