Classic Mac OSWe are trying to transfer the data contained from a mac X Tiger (10.4.11) to a mac X Lion (10.7.3). When trying to use the Migration assistant, it mentions us that we need to update it on the Tiger, although the Software updates program say we do not have any new updates.
What machine are you running Migration Assistant on? You should be running MA on your X Lion machine.
How are you connecting the two machines?

We tried connecting through Ethernet, both a direct link and from out router.
We ran MA from the Lion first, then Tiger without any luck either.
A friend suggested to establish a connection via Firewire, but the Tiger has a 6pin Firewire connection while the Lion has a Firewire 800 connection...
Thank you for your reply

What happened when you run Migration Assistant from Lion.

There is an adaper.
Here are some example. I've never tired one. I've never used a 400 to 800 to connect computers.
One of the best shop to talk to someone is OWC. Here is a list of cables.
