How can I see the data and application that I transferred from Old Mac to New Mac?
Transfer of all the files and application was successful but I can't see it on the New Mac.
Help.
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
If you use Migration Assistant after the first time you boot your Mac it will create a new user. Look in /Users folder to see if this is the case.
Applications should be in your Applications folder, though.
Thanks for your reply
I did reboot the system.
still can't see new user.
One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
at the end a message came up
" 2013-09-11 04:18:05 +0000 Paul Nirwan could not be created.
I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.
Since it's a new Mac, the surest thing to do would be to wipe the HDD and re-install the OS clean. You can do this by booting cmd-r and choosing Disk Utility > Erase. Then choose "Re-install OS X". This will be an internet install so it will take some time. Then it will boot into boot into the new system in Setup Assistant and after a couple of screens you'll be prompted to migrate. Follow the on-screen directions.
I can do that, but want to make sure that i understand the whole process.
Once I have erased the HDD, how could I " reinstall OS_X"?
There will be no program application, like Safari or even internet settings on the hard drive.
Erasing the HDD still leaves the hidden Recovery Partition...
after transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?
