Seems to be working just replacing the files and domains. The hardest part so far seems to be finding out where everything is located! I agree, a flash drive or Sandisk is great for the smaller files. But I need the external HD for the larger ones.

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.

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.

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. 101 on file sharing http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1549 If Mac is not on network but in another location You can use Dropbox to move files back and forth between Mac's https://www.dropbox.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stuart Ungar Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 6:19 AM To: Topics related to Apple and Macintosh computers 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!
