Q: The instructions for "Migrating using FireWire or ThunderBolt" are WRONG

The instructions for "Migrating using FireWire or ThunderBolt" in this article are wrong for a transfer from a Mountain Lion Mac to a Mavericks Mac. You should not put the source Mac in target disk mode. Rather, you should start up Migration Assistant on the source Mac and choose "To another Mac"

OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
