How to Migrate to new MacBook Air which has older OSX
Hi all,
Any help appreciated.
I have been looking for the answer for hours now, but aside from the fact there is a lot of valuable info avalable, I doesn't seem to be able to find the answer to this one...
Just purchased a new MacBook Air. Would like to use my Time Machine to get everything over. But the new MBA runs OSX 10.6 (Mountain Lion), and my old MBA runs 10.8 (Mavericks).
Now, how to setup up the migration/restore? One of the popups tells me if I have a new MB and use a backup from another source MB, I should use Migration Assistant instead of a full restore.
So I did that, but many apps were not working, just showing a big questionmark (iBooks, iPhoto, Maps, etc), since they were running on Mavericks already on my old MB. So then I updated the Software Update on the new device, requiring a restart, after which I couldn't login my account anymore. Typing the password did re-appear the same login page over and over... Now I ended up reinstalling the 10.6 Mountain Lion again.
Wondering how I should start again from scratch.
Anyone please?
Thank you!
MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Time Machine, OS X Lion
