Sep 5, 2012 11:27 AM in response to BDAquaby mydelite,They sent that adapter with the mini, but the port on the monitor is also female. I think the old cable also supplies the power to the monitor.
Thanks for your response.

Sep 6, 2012 5:16 PM in response to mydeliteby den.thed,★HelpfulActually because that monitor also supports DVI, all you need to use is the Apple supplied HDMI to DVI adapter and a DVI-D cable like BDAqua suggests.

For various ways to use Migration Assistant.
see > How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
To use FireWire Target Mode, you need a FireWire 400 (6 pin) to 800 (9 pin) cable.
example > Amazon.com: Tripp Lite 1394b Firewire 800 9pin/6pin - 6ft cable
Plus you will need to replace any older PowerPC app's with newer ones.

Sep 16, 2012 1:52 PM in response to den.thedby mydelite,Thanks again for your help.
However, I did connect with a couple of young men via Apple support, and one did get get the transfer of personal files from old to new. But the migration assistant still did not recognize the old computer, so I was instructed to take both to an Apple Store for further help. I hope there they will be able to get the "valuable" files with addresses, book marks, etc. moved.
