#TRANSFER DRAGTHING TO ANOTHER MAC FULL#
After making sure the Alice account works correctly on the Mac you’ve copied it to, make a full backup.Click Continue and wait for the process to complete.You want only Alice checked among the users listed. In many cases, you will want to leave everything checked except all the users excluding Alice (see notes below). On the Mac to which Alice is migrating, now select what items you want to move in the Select the Information To Transfer list.(If the code is different, something is terribly wrong!) Click Continue on both Macs if no code is shown or if the code is the same. You may also see a security code that will be the same on both screens, used to eliminate any risk of someone acting as a man in the middle.

On that same Mac, choose the Mac with Alice’s current account from the items that appear for selection.On the Mac to which you want to move Alice, choose the From a Mac, Time Machine, or startup disk option and click Continue.On the Mac with the user you want to move (let’s call this account Alice), choose To a Mac and click Continue.Launch Migration Assistant on both Macs and click Continue on both.
