Transferring Files From Another Mac?

If you already have a Mac, the Setup Assistant can help automatically transfer user accounts, network settings, applications, and more from your previous Mac to your new Mac.

To transfer information, you must have the following:

ÂA standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable.

ÂYour other Mac must have Mac OS X v10.1 or later installed.

ÂYour other Mac must have a built-in FireWire port and support FireWire Target Disk Mode.

To transfer information from your previous Mac to your new Mac:

mSimply turn on your new Mac and follow the onscreen instructions. The Setup Assistant takes you through the process of transferring your information.

Transferring information to your new Mac does not affect the information on your other Mac. (If you have set up partitions on the new Mac, all information from the other Mac will be transferred to one partition.)

Using the Setup Assistant, you can transfer:

ÂUser accounts, including preferences and email

ÂInternet and network settings, so your new Mac is automatically set up to work with the same settings as your other Mac

ÂApplications1 so that all of the applications you used on your other Mac are now on your new Mac

ÂFiles and folders on your hard disk and partitions. This gives you easy access to the files and folders you used on your old Mac.

If you don’t intend to keep or use your other Mac, you may want to deauthorize your old computer from playing music that you’ve purchased from the iTunes Music Store.

If you don’t use the Setup Assistant to transfer information when you first start up your computer, you can do it later. Go to the Applications folder, open Utilities, and double- click “Setup Assistant.”

1.You may have to reinstall some of the applications you transfer.
