[QUOTE="lkent, post: 757660, member: 74298"] [b]Migration Assistant problems[/b] I just used Migration Assistant to transfer files via Firewire from my emac to my new iMac. The files seem to have made it through but many of them are inaccessible because I don't have "access privileges". And when the files were finished transferring, the only option was to select quit and when I did that. there was a message saying I did it incorrectly. Now when I go back in to my old emac to see if I can repeat the process correctly this time, it gives a strange new message about holding in the power button to restart the computer (which I did to no avail - holding the power button does make it shut off but doesn't make it restart). Has anyone out there used the migration assistant successfully? What did I miss? Thanks for any tips! lkent [/QUOTE]
