Remember, in iSync you’ve already established a user on the new machine. The great thing about using migration assistant during the initial machine setup is that it simply establishes and moves the same user(s) and all of their files. I’ve done this during initial setup on my last two machines and it’s wroked flawlessly. I give Apple a huge amount of credit for making this process simple and stable. Please don’t take this post as a snipe at the process, just a way out of a possible glitch.

Thanks for your post.

Hope all is well. I haven’t heard about that before, strange. I didn’t migrate anything though - just used iSync and got all my settiings etc that way.

Cheers!
