Good Day,
I am having a very frustrating issue. I got a new iMac.

I tried to restore my time machine backup (took 9 hours) says it was completed successful and ask me to reboot. Once I reboot I get the same welcome screen OS X does. Where I need to create user account, etc. Just like a new machine. Nothing was transferred.

I reinstalled OS X.

I tried to transfer my data over network. same issue. I then tried to complete the wizard and create a user account. Once completed. I noticed that the user account was there, but when I login nothing is.

This is driving me mad, what am I doing wrong?

PS. I even tried to bring both macs to the same OS X version.

Thank you
