Amanda, that is going to be mighty painful if you got a lot of data.
So, are you connecting these machines to a router or are you doing a
hmm well think it's a pier to pier sort of or more accurately a
computer to computer setup? Just trying to understand all the pieces
to the puzzle your working with here.
Just let me know and we'll get you going. If it is a lot of data, you
might really want to try and find that firewire cable or your in for a
long wait while that data flows.

Ah, sorry, didn't mention that. I'm doing it wirelessly because I
don't have a firewire cable around (I've moved so many times
recently, all of my extra cables are in boxes somewhere). I'm
guessing that's why it's asking for the passcode, since it's a
wireless transfer.

Amanda, ¬are you migrating everything via firewire cable? I've done
this several times and once you put your notebook into target disk
mode, you should be able to have the migration assistant just pull
the data across. Unless the notebooks are differnt, you should be
able to hold the letter t down immediately after hearing the
startup chime on the notebook.
How are you performing the transfer?

Hi everyone,
So, here's the deal. I've been using a Macbook running Leopard
since December. Most has gone beautifully, hence I recently
(read: yesterday) purchased a new iMac. So now I'm trying to move
stuff over to the iMac from the Macbook using Migration
Assistant. The iMac is telling me that I need to enter a passcode
into the Macbook. I see the passcode just fine, but when I go to
the migration assistant window on the Macbook, there's no field to
enter said passcode. It tells me that it sees my iMac and it says
I need to enter the passcode the iMac gave me, but there's no edit
field. Am I totally missing something, or is this just something
that VO doesn't work with? If this has been covered before, I
apologize. I'm at a total loss.
