[OS X TeX] TeXShop after migrating to a new MacBook Pro

[R Martinez]

All,

Wrapping it up.

I removed the incomplete version of /texlive/ and reinstalled MacTeX2011. Everything works now.

Moral of the story. The migration assistant does not play well with /texlive/; only a fraction of /texlive/ is transferred.

Thanks to Herb and Dick for their help.
