I need a firewire cable from one mac to the other, but I've also been
told that once I turn on a new iMac, it will search, through the
wireless, for another computer and transfer things from that
computer.
I don't know about transfering via the network, but I have
transfered my data through Firewire, and that was completely painless.
However, be aware that some applications may have problems with
newer system software.
Just what do I have to do to achieve this? Does an automatic transfer
do everything I described above? Does it also transfer software? How
about my email configuration?
In my experience it transfered everything except the system
software. The whole process worked really well.
The Migration Assistant (love the name!) has one problem; when you
transfer Finale, you will have to de-authorise it on the old computer
and authorise it on the new one (painless through Internet) but then
you should trash your Preferences or you will most likely lose your
palettes. This is a known issue.
