Hello, I have a 3-year old MBP running snow leopard. About half a year ago, I bought a rMBP running Mountain Lion. At that time, I did not migrate. Now, I feel the inconvenience of not having all the files in my newer computer. Is it still possible to migrate the files from the old MBP to the new one? Will I mess up the system of the newer computer? What will happen if both computers have files of the same names? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Can I still migrate files from old MBP to new one after few months of use?

In a case such as yours, it would seem that a "manual migration" might work best -- particularly if you have files with the "same names" on both the newer and older Macs.
It will involve a little more time and effort, but less chance that something important may get over-written...

Do you mean that if I do the auto migration, even when there are files of the same name but different time stamp, the system will replace the files without giving me a list of options to select?
