Migration Assistant

Migration Assistant is an application utility which allows a user transfer their information from one Mac to another, usually a newer model.

Description
Migration Assistant previously worked by using Target Disk Mode over FireWire, but now can connect through Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Thunderbolt, or USB.

The following types of information are transferred:
 * User info
 * Applications
 * Network and machine settings
 * Files
 * Volumes

To use the assistant, the user must authenticate as an administrator. The information on the other Mac will remain unaffected.
