Ed and Stuart:
I'm no computer geek, but I still say it is easier to transfer data
with my $25 Sandisk I bought from Walmart.
I use it to transfer data from by G5 to my laptop all the time, and it
only takes a minute or two, and I can easily transfer 7.5 GB, and I
don't need a network, or any cables.

You can hook them together and drag and drop the files. If There is no
wireless network in the house.

I don't have the computers networked. More of a moving from old
machine to new one operation. I have the date on a external HD. It
is a good amount (about 20,000 photos lots of music/video etc...).
Just didn't know if it was as easy as dragging and dropping the files
into the proper location on the new machine. Seems to make sense...
but just didn't want to mess anything up.

If both Mac's are on your network they will show up in the side bar of
the finder.
Click on the one with files you need and if you are the administrator
for that machine you will have to put in your admin name and password
then you can copy file across your network to the mac that needs the
files.

If Mac is not on network but in another location
You can use Dropbox to move files back and forth between Mac's

Subject: [MacGroup] moving between macs
Hi all,
So, I need to move some stuff between my macs. Most importantly, my
iTunes library, iPhoto library, iWeb and Garageband files. I know
there is the "migration" function, but I am wondering if there is an
easier way. I have all of the above backed up onto an external HD
(USB not Firewire). Can I just swap the files in the locations where
they should be (once I figure that out) and the programs will work as
designed? Or is there more to it than that?
Thanks for thoughts/help!
Stuart
