Migration Assistant is a utility by Apple Inc. which transfer data, user accounts, settings and computer applications from one Macintosh computer to another, or from a full drive backup. In OS X Lion and later, it can also migrate contacts, calendars, and email accounts and other files from Microsoft Windows. The Migration Assistant can be used during the initial setup of a new computer or run manually on a pre-set system. It can be used multiple times to copy only the app, user account (s), or settings. The main purpose is to duplicate the contents and configuration of the existing computer user account on the new one.
The Migration Assistant does not transfer the old computer operating system to a new one. Similarly, apps and utilities bundled by Apple with the operating system (eg Safari) are not transferred, based on the assumption that newer machines have the same or newer versions already installed. However, the settings for this app (such as bookmarks) are transferred.
