Nov 16, 2013 3:33 PM in response to Baby Boomer (USofA)by jesoko,I didn't get a link. As the setup process of the new iMac, it asked if I wanted to transfer data/files. So I started the laptop and went to the migration assistant to transfer 'to another mac' while the desktop was the source looking for the other mac. This is as far as I got as it just kept spinning and spinning.

That would have been the Setup Assistant (only available at the first setup).

That is not how to use Setup Assistant. Check the excellent resource here about how to transfer data (using a FW/Thunderbolt cable would be fastest):
