I've searched google and this forum pretty extensively without finding any solutions. I'm on my third attempt of trying to migrate 240GB of files to my new iMac from my 2006 iMac (latest version of 10.7.x). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Attempt 1-migration assistant over wifi. Stopped after realizing it was going to take 81 hours
Attempt 2-migration assistant from time machine. My accounts all came over, but no music or photos. Should I have manually imported these?
Attempt 3-migration assistant via Ethernet (direct connection). It asked me if I want to overwrite the accounts, etc and I said yes. Time started at 31 hours and has increased to 80 hours over the last few hours.
What was the issue with attempt 2 and what is the best way to do this migration?? I like to consider myself a savvy Mac user, but man, this is making me feel like a fool! Yes, I selected all files and all users for each of these attempts...
Thanks!
