I’d think there would be so much stuff in ~/Library, for instance, that it would be worth migrating no matter what.

I still have it turned off as I wait for Objective Development to get back to me with a diagnosis.ĭid you use the migration feature in Setup Assistant too? I’m intrigued that some people have so much data in iCloud/Dropbox/whatever that it doesn’t seem necessary to use Setup Assistant’s migration when moving to a new Mac.

I suspect that the there were two main impediments one was the new T2 chip’s insistence on ensuring that everything was ridgey-didge (as it should), but the other was Little Snitch, which effectively blocked all access to the Internet. I had to resort for the first time ever to engaging a Mac consultant to iron out everything for me Migration Assistant transferred everything across, but any hope of getting the new iMac to work were dashed by multiple and continuous error messages about permissions and iCloud. My biggest problem turned out to be getting everything upgraded from 10.12 Sierra to 10.15 Catalina permissions seemed to be the biggest stumbling block.
INSTALL EXIFTOOL MAC BREW INSTALL
My biggest concern was getting Office 2011 to install within Parallels (as detailed in another thread), but it’s now working. I have just moved from my trusty old Mac Pro 5,1 (nearly 10 years old) to a shiny new 2020 iMac.
