Jun 15, 2015 11:58 AM in response to Chris CAby Bknj7,Chris, I did let it run over a weekend and then it decided to stop working. I'm not sure if it was my old tired mac that caused the issue but now I have a Go Bridge Transfer cable. The software is loaded on both macs but i don't know how to transfer anything. Im a novice. Im probably missing something quite simple but can figure it out.
Thanks in advance for your help!

When it comes to applications it is much better to reinstall the than to manually move them. Many apps install other files in addition to just the app itself. Reinstall from the original disks, or re-download them onto the new computer. Anything you got from the Mac App Store, you can download again from the Purchases section for free.
