Hi again Mac'ers...

The itunes library on the imac is version 2... I went and purchased ilife
which provides v 4 however the install did not upgrade v 2 but simply
installed another copy on the hard disk.. so now I have two versions, each
with different libraries.

I was told to ensure I had the same versions of the itunes before copying
libraries from one machine to another... so now I am wondering what to do
next..

Again any advice would be appreciated...

Regards

Andrew

Your Home folder contains a Music folder and a Pictures folder.
Assuming a standard setup, your iTunes folder and your iPhoto Library
folder are inside these folders respectively. Just copy them to the
respective Music and Pictures folders in your Home folder on the iBook.
They will automatically take on the permissions of their enclosing
folders, so you should have no problem accessing them once the copying
is done.
