In Terminal on the old Mac, type mount again.Reboot the new Mac in Target Disk Mode (Hold T while booting.) Connect new Mac to old Mac via Thunderbolt (or whatever.Firewire on older Macs, do the new MacBooks just do USB?).Note the mount points and names of the current volumes. On the new Mac, create a new account with the same short name (username) as the account on the old.Do not give this account the same name as the account on the old Mac.
On the new Mac, create an admin account with full admin privileges.Personally, when I have to make sure it works correctly I do it the UNIX way.rsync!
Hmph and they say MACs are easier!Macs are user friendly, they're just picky about their friends! Possibly not necessary but I suggest: Run Outlook on the new Mac, make a dummy/non-functional setup, quit Outlook, ensure the Database Daemon is stopped (as noted above), and copy your source "Default Identity" into the target location (after moving the "dummy" setup folder to the Desktop). Prior to copying the Main Identity folder, I recommend ensuring the database is inactive by stopping Microsoft Database Daemon - Quit all office apps & use the Activity Monitor utility to look for a process by that name (it might not show as it might stop on its own), and if present, kill the process. If any other/alternate identities were ever set up, you'll need to sort that out. (just note that in 10.10 the Office 2011 prefs are stored in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft rather than /Library/Preferences - but you shouldn't need those, or might not). The Outlook for Mac identity is stored in Users//Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities/Main Identity Well, the Migration Assistant is a Very Nice Idea but I don't use it because I've seen it mess up too much, too many times.
