Peace of Mind
I am a paranoid individual when it comes to technology. It is a fickle beast and I've been bit before.
I just recently upgraded my home desktop system from a 2006 iMac operating off Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6.8) to a 2015 iMac operating off Maverick (OS X 10.9.5). I had A LOT of digital design files (Ai, PSD, PDF, TIF, etc.) in addition to documents and photographs on my old system because I had it for 8+ years. I used the Migration Assistant to move all this data from the old iMac to the new via Wifi. I did not have the 2 machines hardwired for this transfer. The transfer took about 18-19 hours but when it finally finished the complete screen said it was successful. I now want to wipe my old machine clean and donate it, BUT I am worried that something may have been missed or unsuccessful in it's transfer.
What are the odds something didn't quite make it over tot he new iMac even though the Migration Assistant program said the transfer was successful?
