Dude, its all right. That stuff is already on your iMac. Maybe in newer versions too. For some stupid reason, things that are running during your transfer (on the originating machine) can't be copied. Just keep a list of the stuff it mentions (you can check if you have them on the other machine later) and transfer away. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
