Attagirl Amanda, you figured it out. I don't mind helping whenever
possible.
I'm curious how much data and how long it ends up taking. Just curious
minds want to know.
tnx

It's with a routher. I figured it out, though. I just had to change
some preferences in the sharing section of system preferences. And
yeah, it's taking a while, but that's why I'm doing it late at
night.:) It's mostly music/iTunes related stuff I'm transferring,
so it's a pretty sizeable chunk of data. But all seems to be going
well so far. Thanks for trying to help, and sorry I wasn't more
specific in my query.

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.
