CAVEBEAR'S LAIR: I Won

I Won

I beat the computer! I won. I got around all the problems. I have all the original-size photos (though many duplicates I will have to manually delete)). I have all my documents. I have all my apps (I think). I can read everything I can think to search for. I can see the smaller pictures I use in the blogs (The Mews AND Cavebear's Lair). I can't find anything (other than some Firefox bookmarks) missinbg on the NEW computer that were on the OLD. I restarted the new computer to make sure they reappearred after a shutdown.

OK, that's enough...

The built-in Migration Assistant didn't work. The special USB cable with the installed transfer chip didn't work. The Mac Help Forums didn't work. Drill Doctor app didn't work.

But *I* did. I found all the parts of my Mac that held any files or apps and JUST PLAIN COPIED them one by one to an external drive and then to the new Mac one by one. I relentlessly, ruthlessly (I wonder where Ruth went?), doggedly (woof, woof) replaced everything with the old stuff.

So now I have everything moved from a Mac OS "Catalina-infested" 340GB 4 RAM Intel 5 processor to older Mac OS "High Sierra" but 1TB 8 RAM Intel 7 processor. And I am going to back up the whole HD and plant my butt on the current computer until Tim Cook (CEO of Apple) comes with an army of nerds and beats the computer to death with iCloud crowbars!

I'm going to carefully pack up the OLD Mac Mini (it still has everything on it). Then I am going to shut down the NEW Mac Mini so I can undo the spread of electrical connections and tangled cables of both Macs.

Then, and ONLY then, I will start up the new Mac Mini and see how fast it works. I even have a brand new (no faded letter keys) keyboard waiting for this day.
