Migrating Accounts
Mostly the Migration Assistant in Mac OS X works, but there are some surprising things that don’t come across and have to be reinstalled manually. So far I’ve noticed:
- Flash
Some AppleScript thingie that’s breaking some of my scripts“Enable access for assistive devices” in the Universal Access System Preference pane- Microsoft Intellimouse
- Microsoft Word Custom Dictionaries (I think the dictionaries are copied but Word no longer sees them. I suspect it’s using an absolute path from the root rather than a relative path from the home directory to locate these.)
- StuffIt Engine
- Parts of Adobe Photoshop Elements (maybe installed in the /Library folder?)
I’m not sure what unifies these items. On the plus side, all my shareware registrations seem to have moved OK. I’m not being bombarded by nag screens.
