Okay, I'm just going to to the slower way and pull everything over manually. I was pleased to find that the iTunes library info came over just fine. I just dragged and dropped into the music folder on the Mac and it worked well. I just need to point it to the new location of the video files once I've transferred them.
On an unrelated note: I do think I came across a little bug, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Here's what I did and what I think the sequence of events was:
- I had my mother set up with the user name of "First Last" (for example), and she has a password to log in
- I went in and changed it to "First L" because I was briefly considering using the migration assistant and wanted the new user to have the "First Last" name
- Instead, I changed my mind about the assistant and started transferring over 200GB of files manually
- Because this was taking a long time, I went and ran errands
- When I came back, the computer had gone to screensaver mode and therefore locked my out
- Here's the problem: the login showed the username as "First Last" instead of "First L"
I couldn't log in at all. Perhaps if I knew more about OSX, I would have known of a workaround, but the only option I had was to manually shut the computer down and reboot. When the Mini booted up again I was presented with the login of "First L," as it should have been. That was a little frustrating. Any idea why this happened? I'm not saying I didn't do anything wrong, I'd just like to know what's up...
BTW, how do I remove the login screen from after the screensaver mode?
