Migration Assistant

Migration Assistant is an application which lets you transfer your information from another Macintosh to your current Mac. It 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 will be transferred:
 * User info
 * Applications
 * Network and machine settings
 * Files
 * Volumes

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