Graham It is our experience that Migration in Lion is somewhat broken. I suggest you try Super Duper and/or Time Machine.

I connected the two machines and ran the Migration assistant and all seemed well. I then ran disc permissions as instructed. The applications seem to have come over but nothing else. I tried again several times with no joy. I also deleted the user account created by my Macbook on the new machine and even re-installed Snow Leopard to see if that would clear the HD so I could start again all with no joy. Now when I start the migration assistant I'm tolde you can't migrate an account with the same name as already on the system but I can't see this account anywhere. Also the HD of my MBP now says I've only got 428gb or so free yet I can't find anything that would be taking so much space up. If I go to my home folder there is the Graham Roby Folder and a documents folder which I'm told I can't access as I don't have permission yet I am the administrator. Has anyone any ideas as to what I can try or even better tell me what I'm doing wrong as I understood this would be a very straight forward process to complete.
