as the title says what all isn't transfered with timemachine/ migration assistant?


I noticed so far migrating from a 2012 rmbp to a 2015 rmbp that the stored creditcard data in safari didnt copy over.
also some larger apps either needed reinstall or relicensing.

Im worried other stuff may be missing.

I would do a sector by sector clone unfortunately the new macbook has a smaller SSD than the old one

This is because that kind of information is stored in your Chache and browser cookies plus keychain data!
 
while I doubt CC data is in either of those it may explain some of the apps issues.
OK so cache and browser cookies are also not transferred, anything else?

CCC will copy everything at the time of the transfer unless you choose to ingore these files!

So did you transfer the Keychain data to iCloud?
