This post is especially for [livejournal.com profile] perspicuity, [livejournal.com profile] whitebird, and [livejournal.com profile] deguspice. And also[livejournal.com profile] chocorua if you're listening and have any suggestions. 

I tested all of my other banking like websites - the other bank that I have to access, paypal, credit cards, etc. All of them worked. My problem is specifically with the Instustion for Savings in Newburyport. 

Here are the details of how I did my migration: I did NOT use the mac migration assistant.
  • All of my applications, with the exception of some games, were installed fresh from disks or new downloads.
  • Chrome was able to grab my links and settings through the web for itself. (thank google, it's easy, but I'm not sure I like that you know that much about me) 
  • I used file sharing between the two computers via an ethernet cable to do drag and drop transfer of all my data files.
  • Thunderbird was the biggest problem, as it's user information was in a hidden directory - once I unhid the directory, I was able to get all my email, settings, etc, to transfer by carefully putting the old in the correct place on the new. 
I spent quite a while on the phone with the tech person at the bank. The error that I get is that the bank website "takes to long to respond" and the browser timesout. The bank tech looked at the logs and it's hanging between me sending my password and it acknowledging it. Old mac is running osx 10.7.4, new is running 10.8. bank tech person says that other users have gotten on with 10.8. 

It occurs to me that the one thing I haven't done since set-up is a reboot of new machine. Going to do a backup, and then reboot now.

UPDATE: robooting did not magically make this work.
