I had to manually install Rosetta and the command-line tools. (Obviously, only if you're going to use them.) One potential issue is that the root directory / is no longer writeable on Mojave (not even by root). I learned this the hard way (when some directories I'd put there seemed to disappear in the migration). If you've added any top-level files or folders, I'd suggest moving them into your home directory (probably /Users/) before migrating. I was discovering oddities and omissions for a few weeks after the migration - though I guess I'm a ‘power user’, and most Mac users probably wouldn't hit them. I'll go through some of them here, just in case. I ran Migration Assistant as part of the initial new-user set-up on the new machine, but it got stuck at ‘Starting up…’, after scanning and letting me choose which categories to copy, but before actually copying anything. (I tried both over wifi, and by connecting the Time Machine drive directly via USB, but neither worked.) I worked around this by skipping the migration, completing the rest of the initial set-up, getting to the desktop, and then running /Applications/Utilities/Migration Assistant manually, which worked fine.

I did some preparation before-hand, which was mainly replacing all my old 32-bit apps with Universal (Intel+ARM) versions where available, or at least 64-bit Intel versions. I found a free app called Go64 which did a great job of identifying 32-bit apps and helping keep track of which ones I hadn't upgraded yet. (The easiest cases were apps with free upgrades available some cost money and others haven't been updated and so I needed to find alternatives.) It can also help with upgrading x86-64 to ARM, though I think that won't be critical for a couple more versions. My experience is similar to Tetsujin's: I've had good results using Migration Assistant over several upgrades, including most recently from Mojave/Intel→Monterey/M1. It should also move anything that cannot run on the new Mac to appropriate folders placed on the new Desktop, so you can sort through & see which apps etc you need to update/replace. Migrating in this way should convert things like Mail databases to the new format.

I can't test this right now as running it will quit everything on the source Mac in preparation - but you get the opportunity to enter a confirmation code on both Macs to ensure you're Migrating the correct one & have the authority to do so. Go to the old Mac & launch Migration Assistant (Applications/Utilities) to make it available as a source for the new Mac. When presented with the Migration option, you can select another Mac on the same network. I've even successfully Migrated Windows users to new Macs by this method.Īs you set up the new Mac, Migrate before you configure any new accounts, otherwise you end up with two identities/accounts & will have to unpick it manually afterwards. I've never had a direct Mac to Mac Migrate fail, even from an old to new OS. I have much anecdotal evidence to support this bias, but no citable source. I'd use a 'live' Migration rather than one from Time Machine.
