Apple Releases Migration Assistant Update for OS X Lion Transition

Tuesday July 19, 2011 2:00 PM PDT by Jordan Golson

Further hinting at an imminent release of OS X Lion, Apple today released an update to Migration Assistant for users of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. The update corrects a problem that could prevent users from transferring data from a machine running Snow Leopard to a new one running Lion.
This update addresses an issue with the Migration Assistant application in Mac OS X Snow Leopard that prevents transfer of your personal data, settings, and compatible applications from a Mac running Mac OS X Snow Leopard to a new Mac running Mac OS X Lion.
The upgrade is rather small, only clocking in at 312KB and doesn't require a restart.

This has NOTHING to do with users installing 10.7 as an upgrade to 10.6. Do you guys know how to read? It's for people who have a machine running 10.6 and buy a new machine that ships with 10.7 and want to use the Migration Assistant program.

No restart? Damn Apple sucks.

I'll be doing a clean install of Lion but might as well get the update.

It's better to do all your pending Software Updates today rather than tomorrow!

For those that have Lion already, this is moot...;)
