I see you're using Migration Assistant to transfer the files on your Windows PC to your iMac but not all of it crossed over. I'll be glad to help you with this.
Move your data from a Windows PC to a Mac
How to Transfer. The easiest method to perform this task is by connecting your new Mac and PC to the same home/office network and running the Migration Assistant Wizard on the Mac and the Windows Migration Assistant on your PC (this is a free program written by Apple).

If migration doesn't work
If the steps above don't work as expected, check these things.
Quit other PC apps.
Use these steps to make sure no other applications are open on your PC while you're trying to migrate your data:
- Press Alt-Tab to choose an open application.
- Press Alt-F4 to quit the selected application.
Check your network connection. If your PC doesn't appear in the Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant window on your Mac, make sure they're both connected to the same network. You can create an isolated network by connecting a single Ethernet cable between your Mac and PC. If Migration Assistant on your Mac still doesn't list your PC, try disabling any Firewall software on your PC that might block network ports needed for Windows Migration Assistant to work. You can re-enable your firewall software after you're done migrating.
Disable anti-virus software. If Migration Assistant won't open on your PC, temporarily disable any anti-virus software on your PC and try opening Migration Assistant again. You can re-enable your anti-virus software after migration is finished.
If you're unable to use Migration Assistant to transfer your files from your PC to your Mac, you can also manually copy your important data to your Mac using an external drive or file sharing.
Have a great day!

Apple Migrate To Mac Download
I am trying to set up a new-to-me used MacBook Pro circa 2012. Free music for mac. Trying to use Migration assistant to transfer everything from my old MacBook. I have the Migration Assistant running, the two computers connected by FireWire cable (also tried connecting the two computers to the same router by FireWire cable), but the circle just goes round and round and doesn't ever say that it finds any other computers on the network. Is this something that should take a long time? Should I just go away and get a sandwich and come back? Or is there something else going on that these two machines won't talk to each other?
