Hi Chris

It sounds like Target disk mode is what you need. At least, it was last time I did this a few years ago.

Connect the cable, and then hold down T while you boot the old machine.

Hope this helps
Rob

Hi Wamuggers

I have just returned home from my work off Gabon, with a jam packed
hard disk on my MBPro (Snow Leopard) and I would like to transfer data
to my new imac (Mavericks) and I just cant remember (or find anything)
on how to do it, which is really frustrating?

Both machines have thunderbolt and I have tried connecting them but
without success, and am not sure if I need to use Target mode to do
this?

I would be most grateful for any advice to assist me with this as I
just cant seem to work it out!

With many thanks

Chris
