Subject line says it all, I'm transferring data from the old iMac machine but its taking far too long! <smile>.
I have a few questions perhaps some people may care to answer and a few observations that others may wish to comment on. I notice that my machine comes with a bluetooth or wireless mouse of some description, can I use this in the same way as I did the Mighty Mouse which came with my original iMac? For example I used to move the mouse using VO to a part of a web page, hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard whilst clicking the physical mouse to get into a context menu. The Bluetooth keyboard? Well I I'll use that for one of the IOS devices I think, USB keyboard works okay. So I ran the installation process and decided to transfer data from my backup drive which contains a backup of the older Mac machine backed up by Super Duper. The data transfer process seemed to run okay right till the end when the Migration Assistant informed me that some data couldn't be transferred. Next I registered the new iMac and pressed the "Start Lion" button and after this I started having trouble. Whatever I did the computer wouldn't accept my user password. I even tried the option of resetting the password using my Apple ID but the "Reset Password" button didn't seem to work, not only that Voiceover wouldn't give me any feedback as to whether any characters were actually being accepted into the Password field. I've just booted the iMac up from the Super Duper volume, seemed to boot okay so I'm taking the chance on a full Super Duper install and see how we go with that, if anyone else has any suggestions then I'd be interested to hear them. Now back to the iMac machine itself which doesn't look all that much different from my older iMac, about the same thickness but perhaps slightly bigger. I will say that volume from the internal speakers is far louder than it was on the older model. I've looked on the back for ports, 4 USB it seems, 1 Firewire 8, 1 Gigabit Ethernet port and one small port which must be for Thunderbolt devices, would that be right? <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
