Problem with Migration Assistant
I'm moving from an iMac to a MacBook Pro. Both are updated to latest OSX. Both have Firewall off. I connected them with an Ethernet cable and followed instructions from Apple for how to do it. The MacBook sees the iMac, I choose it, but I get a message saying it cannot connect to the iMac and check to see both machines are on and connected to same WiFi, which they are. On the Migration Asst window on the iMac it does not show the new MacBook, just wheel keeps spinning. What's the problem? OR is it the same to back up from a Time Machine backup? If I haven't excluded anything, will a TimeMach backup have my entire photo library, all installed apps, everything the same as if I migrated directly from the Mac? What should I do?
