Hi ... Is migrating from one computer to another equal to merging the 2 computers or is it only transferring the old one (10.6.8) to the new one (10.9.3) ?
Joyful owner of an iMac Intel ... Fast as light !!! !!!!, iMac Intel - 3,06 GHZ - 21" - 12.0 Go
Unix at its heart is a multiuser operating system. Migration is equivalent to merging the users from computer A with the users of computer B assuming computer B is the one running migration. It does NOT merge the contents of user Bob on computer A with the contents of user Bob on computer B. If you try this you'll end up with TWO Bob accounts on computer B.
Hope this helps.
If you have a specific question ask that, you'll get better help.

OK ... I see the distinction. And what about the 2 Applications folders ?
Computer B should end up with the applications of computer A in my example. When you run migration you get the option of transfering applications. Migration does not run both directions when invoked by computer B for example. Computer A is not changed.
