Hi Will,
ok i am getting a better upgraded macbook tomorrow
can i just pop my leopard disk into the new machine and format the
drive without re installing the OS?
then boot up again from the cd, click the restore from backup option
under utilities, and chose a time machine backup?
will that put i guess the OS back on the system, the home folders,
and all accounts music, including i tunes purchases etc?
tIn other words, i assume the latest backup restores the new laptop
to how the old one is now
TK: If it did work, I believe that it would be more hassle than it's
worth.If you're new MacBook is brand new, it will already come with
Leopard pre-installed, and upon startup will give you the option of
copying all your data, user information and network settings over from
your old Mac. All you'll need in that case is a firewire cable and
the Set-up Assistant will guide you through the rest. This process
would also work if it's not a brand new MacBook, simply use your
Leopard DVD to install Leopard on the newer MacBook and then follow
the same migration options as mentioned earlier.
Later...
