Hi Hope that everyone is keeping safe and well. I have just bought a new iMac 24-inch Silver iMac with 4.5K Retina display.
I need to transfer all my information from my old iMac to my new one.
I am not good with technical jargon, can anyone tell me how to do this, the easy way please. Is there anyway to connect the old iMac with the new one
Thanks a million
The easiest is to use your (Time Machine) backup on an external drive; plug that in and use Setup Assistant during the initial setup. Second best is to use the same drive and Migration Assistant after you have already set up the new one. The worst is to try to use Wifi - it can take a week.
You do have a backup on an external drive?
Hi
Thanks for the reply.
I have a time machine back up on an external drive.
I will plug that in and use Set Up assistant as you have suggested.
Thanks so much
always best to ask for advice.
Thanks 😊 again
Good luck!
Thanks 😊 I will pick it up tomorrow
Fingers crossed 🤞
best wishes and thanks 🙏
is it easier to transfer information from an old iMac to a new iMac by wifi or cable
