If you already have a Mac, Setup Assistant can help you automatically transfer files, applications, and other information from your previous Mac to your new iMac. Transferring Information to Your iMac Setup Assistant makes it easy to copy your saved settings, files, and folders from your old Mac. It shows you exactly how to connect your old Mac to your new Mac to migrate your network settings, user accounts, documents, photos, applications, and more.
