Hi gang

Some of you might remember a thread not so long ago about using
migration tool from my g5 imac to my new intel imac. It seemed to do a
flawless job, but I found the catch. When you do this Apple does not
intend for the mac you migrated from to be on the same network as the
new one, in their minds you just got rid of it, thus I encountered
network permissions problems transferring files between the 2. I spent
at least 2 hours on the phone with one of apples techs and after
downloading a permissions change tool he recommended we were still
unable to accomplish proper file sharing between the 2. Personally I
think what causes the problem is the migration tool requires you to
use a different user name then you did on the source mac. I finally
made a different user name, actually went back to the name I always
use and life was good again. So I migrated everything to the new user
name and deleted the old one, should not have done that, it creates
permission problems of it's own again. Thus every now and again I have
to fire up the permissions tool apple referred me to when I want to do
things.

Very powerful little tool though and good to have.

My suggestion is if you have a big enough hard drive to just add a new
user just for transferring files. You can get files, the problem is
putting files. So when all is done and said I wish I'd added the new
user only for that and left it at that and continued to use the user
originally created. But the tool I listed above can get you around
such obstacles, just use with care as it's one very powerful tool and
has the potential to lock you right out of your own computer!
