Trying to get my older and tired IMac connected to a newer one via Migration Assistant. They don't see each other and they both are on my home network. Help please
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5)
Do yourself a favor and get either an Ethernet cable or the proper FireWire to thunderbolt cable and connect them that way. Migrating wirelessly is slow even if you do get them to connect.

Mike is absolutely correct, use a direct connection such as an Ethernet cable. Even better is if you have a Time Machine backup of the older machine simply connect that to your new iMac and use Migration Assistant to restore from the backup.
Can't get two IMacs to connect with Migration Asst. Help please.
