You CAN COPY items that are INSIDE these folders. You CANNOT COPY the "main sub-folders" from one home folder to another.īy "main sub-folders" I mean the ones named documents, music, movies, pictures, etc. Now you can copy ANYTHING from the old drive to your new account, and whatever you copy will "come under the ownership" of your NEW account. In sharing and permissions, put a check in the box "ignore ownership on this volume". At the bottom of get info, click the lock icon and enter your (new) passwordĤ. Type "command-i" (eye) to bring up get infoģ. Click the icon of the cloned backup ONE time to select itĢ. There will be problems, particularly with permissions.Ĭonnect your cloned backup to the new Mac, and then do this:ġ. When you get the new Mac, set it up as you wish.īUT REMEMBER - you cannot just copy the "old account from the old Mac" to the new one (once you have created a NEW account on the NEW Mac).

To create a cloned copy, use either CarbonCop圜loner or SuperDuper.īoth are FREE to download and use for 30 days.Įither of them creates AN EXACT COPY of your internal drive, which you can then "mount in the finder" on your NEW Mac. You can mount this in the finder, then "pick and choose" what you wish to bring over. You need a "cloned copy" of your internal drive. Here's what you should do for a "manual migration".ĭO NOT use Time Machine to prepare you backup drive. If you want to skip a "normal migration" (using either setup assistant or migration assistant), this can be done, but it takes "more care" than if you let the Mac do it for you. Just use common sense to "clean things yourself". You can even turn off VM disk swapping if you wish. I have a 2015 MBPro and NEVER have memory issues with 8gb.

The SSD swaps memory out when it gets full and thankfully its very fast so many users dont notice but if your SSD is small or getting toward capacity it slows down considerably." The OS uses a lot of unfamiliar items that run in the background, throw a couple of apps in like safari chrome itunes etc it soon chews through it. "TBH 8gbs is almost the cusp of what usable for the OS. Just as a note, the newer macbooks should be announced in 6-8 weeks which will hopefully solve a lot of issues with the current one and move over to 4 and 6 core processors so you will get more bang for you buck, might be worth waiting if you can. TBH I would just set it up fresh and move your files over manually and if you end up struggling then you can always start migration after you have set it up using migration assistant. It used to be easy to transfer email over until El cap not sure if they have improved this but I remember hitting a wall with moving it over so have used the migration assistant since.Īpple has made it easy to do the simple migration now with signing into icloud it moves your fav bar in safari icloud email etc etc Back in the day it was easy to self migrate and you dont get all of the bloat that you have accumulated over the years although its fairly easy to get rid of this manually.
