Re: Migration Assistant from windowsXP to Mac

[Robert Carter]

Hi,

I don't know how big your iTunes library is, but you can simply copy the entire 
iTunes folder in to the music folder on the mac and iTunes will work with it. 
Just realize that if you do this, you will be replacing any iTunes library that 
was already on the Mac.

Hi there

Do you use ITunes Match?  This would be another way that you could access
your ITunes library on both machines.

Cheers

Subject: Migration Assistant from windowsXP to Mac

I've run the Migration Assistant on both the PC and Mac, following the
simple directions. The PC can't see the Mac, but the Mac sees the PC. The
process hangs with the PC waiting for "the Mac to connect", and the Mac is
giving me the passcode and waiting for PC to respond.

I've tried disabling XP firewall, and also disabling
MicrosoftSecurityEssentials system monitoring, but no joy.

Any experience with this process? I'd like to transfer my iTunes library
primarily - is there another way?

If your drive is big enough You can copy from a fat 32 external drive to your 
iTunes library on your mac. I have mine on an external drive and it works just 
fine as I saved about 30 gigs off of my internal. lol!

Take care.
