Select the information to transfer.

At Keith Thomas we can help and provide assistance on other ways in which you can do a Apple Mac computer migration.

If you have purchased a new Apple Mac computer and you want to use the Apple Migration Assistant then on your old Apple Mac computer the best possible action is to make a Apple Time Machine Backup of the old or existing Apple Mac computer, then you can clean up and remove the applications and data that you do not want to be copied to the new Apple Mac computer.

The Apple Migration Assistant does say Select the Information to Transfer, however the Apple Migration Assistant will do a copy of the data from the old Apple Mac computer to the new Apple Mac computer, and no data is moved, only copied, as the word Transfer does mean to move from one to the other, this is not the case, and its a copy task.

If you have a intel Apple Mac computer that has third party applications that are 32 bit, for example Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, or Adobe Acrobat Reader, or older versions of Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Creative Suite, then ideally uninstall these applications on the old Apple Mac computer or de-select these applications from the Apple Migration Assistant Applications tick box selection.

User Account and Library.

If you have a Apple Mac computer that has been set-up with more than one computer account, and you do no want to copy the computer account information from another user, then simply do not select that user.

What are the other options and ways to copy or transfer data from an existing Apple Mac Computer to a new Apple Mac computer?
