Migrating Information to Your Mac mini

If you didn’t transfer your information to your Mac mini when you first set it up, you
can use Migration Assistant to transfer your information at any time. For example,
using Migration Assistant, you can transfer your user account—including all your
photos, music, and files—from a Mac or PC to your new Mac mini. You can also transfer
information to a Mac mini from a disk or Time Machine backup.

Important: 

To migrate information from a Mac server, you must do it during server

setup. Migration Assistant doesn’t transfer server information after setup.

To migrate information from a Mac or PC, the other computer must be on the same
wired or wireless network. You can also migrate information from a Mac that’s
connected via a FireWire cable and started up in target disk mode. For help migrating
information, open Help Center and search for “Migration Assistant.”
