Hello all,
Alright, here's my trouble. I have an 2006 Imac with a busted screen...not usable (don't ask). I purchased a macbook pro.
I tried transfering my files using the migration assistant. The next button is grayed out and says looking for hard drives or some such thing. But, I see the hard drive icon on my desktop/finder. Cool. I open it up and I see the generic folders (users, library, etc). I try opening one of them but it looks blank. The status wheel spins and spins and when I try doing something else, I get the beach ball. I know my macbook can see something because it'll show me how much memory i've got left on the Imac hard drive. I just can't see my files from my Imac. I've pressed "T" when booting up the Imac. I know hard drives are pretty tough, so I don't suspect the actual hard drive is damaged physically. I took my Imac apart to get the HD out. But, I did break off the tiny cable connector that is on the side of the HD. I think it's the temp sensor, so I don't think that has much to do with it.
And of course, I can't see anything on my Imac because the screen is most certainly in/op.
I've run out of ideas! I've looked all around the net but can't find anything specific to my troubles. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
