[QUOTE="rjonst, post: 1939539, member: 420013"] Yes, as far as I recall, turned on the new system and followed the bouncing ball. There was a point where it asked about a user account and I did trim the suggested account name back to the old 8 character one that was used on the old Mac, then commenced to use the migration assistant. After the files were transferred, the reboot produced a login screen, for only the user, no admin avenue here (which is a bit disappointing) and from then on, the scene got worse. The Bluetooth mouse was charged and nearby, but new Mac would not connect to make it usable. The tab key was the only way to move around. After a few tries, the screen locked and we had to restart to try again. After too many attempts, I tried recovery mode and it presented the Mac HDD image and the Gear, but again no Bluetooth and also no tab function now. So we’re dead in the water. I went online with my system and ordered a cabled mouse, but it won’t arrive til Thursday. That is where we sit at the moment. [/QUOTE]
