Using Migration Assistant ? Sierra to Ventura


 

When using Migration Assistant to transfer information from a drive running Sierra to one running Ventura is it possible to exclude 32 bit applications and all files relating to those apps from the transfer in that they will not run on the newer operating system. Also, what is the best method to identify and list all 32 bit apps running on a computer without having to check each one individually?

This is quite a jump in operating systems. Under Sierra I have a lot of archived email set up in AppleMail which I have filtered into many mailboxes. Can I expect all the content in AppleMail to transfer over to Ventura faithfully with the Rules I set up intact?

This is the first time I am using Migration Assistant and I’m a bit nervous about doing it incorrectly. Many thanks for any and all advice.

Hi

St Clare software. Go64 is a free app that will determine the 32 bits programs.

One option is to make a clone, remove them and then do the migration.

But yes Migration Assistant will separate the apps and let you know about unsupported.

The rules in Mail is tricky. I have seen both results- the rules came through on two machines when I upgraded to Big Sur. I don’t think they did when we upgraded to Monterey.

Thank you Jim & Paul for your responses. I downloaded Go64 and have been receiving the following prompt:

"No applications were found on Macintosh HD.

Spotlight may be disabled on this disk. If it is, please go to your Spotlight settings in System Preferences and change the Privacy settings to allow it to be searched.”

I have gone to Spotlight settings - but still get the message.

I have added Applications folder to Privacy list then removed it - still get the message above.

Apparently I’m missing something.

There are a couple of convertors buried in some of the “name change” upgrades. Mail is one of the apps that gets affected. It is best to upgrade one major upgrade at a time. Or do a clean install, and chance losing your rules.

The mail database seems to be up-converted every time macOS undergoes a major upgrade.
When I started using iPhone, and switched to IMAP for my mail, I also switched to iCloud as my mail server.

I gradually got almost all of my inbox-sorting rules set up ON the server, which pretty much guarantees that they survive annual macOS upgrade transitions.

Yes, I’d forgotten that. Just click on the 64-Bit column header to separate them.
