[QUOTE="Moe_Syzlak, post: 1322266, member: 55904"] It did and I selected TM backup. I got a screen similar to the one in MA. The only drive that showed up was MacInstosh HD. My Time Machine backups are on a Seagate FreeAgent external drive. Since it never showed up, I hit continue with the Mac HD drive but that didn't work. Incidentally, if I unplug the Seagate, the MacIntosh HD disappears in MA. So I'm wondering if it is reading the old MacIntosh HD from Time Machine on the Seagate. Regardless this doesn't transfer any of my settings, documents or old applications. And on the next screen it lists as Applications as containing 0 KB. I don't have a FW to FW cable or I'd try it direct from the old Mini. I suppose I could buy one tomorrow. ETA: I tried connecting the two machines directly via Ethernet and the old machine would not be recognized by MA on the new machine. Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
