Sep 29, 2014 at 6:43 comment added Trane Francks @Trey: Once you've got Mavericks installed at 10.9.5, you should then be able to use the profile migration option as a part of finalizing the installation. Best of luck with it.
Sep 29, 2014 at 5:49 comment added Trey @TraneFrancks Thanks, I'll give the Internet Recovery a try.
Sep 29, 2014 at 5:49 comment added Trey @Buscar웃 The old is 10.9.5, the new is 10.9.4. How does that change your answer?
Sep 29, 2014 at 1:05 comment added Trane Francks @Trey, see my updated answer for an alternative approach.
Sep 29, 2014 at 0:28 comment added Ruskes I still do not know what is the OS X Version on the OLD computer ?? You can look that up!
Sep 28, 2014 at 23:49 comment added Trey @Buscar웃 Right, but what does "look it up and update the new Mac" mean? I rebooted with Command-R to get into reinstall mode and reinstalled Mavericks, but it still was 10.9.4. How do I update the Mac when it's still in pristine startup mode w/o users? Trane below suggests creating a throwaway user for the purpose, but when I tried to do that it wanted my Apple ID and said "warning: this will download software and associate it to this hardware". I didn't want that to happen for a user account I was just going to blow away! So I rebooted at that point and reinstalled again.
Sep 28, 2014 at 22:33 comment added Ruskes I would read: the old Mac has a newer version of Mavericks (probably 10.9.5) the your New mac that might have the 10.9.1 when it was shipped or something, so look it up and update the new Mac.
