 Mac Mac Migration
Mac has announced a new migration tool that
will expedite the set up of your next new
computer. This is a firewire transfer that
will swiftly move everything from your old
Mac to your new Mac machine. No more burning
CD’s, having to reload every application
again or trying to locate that old Jaz drive
and cartridge. The one big thing the included
PDF instructions do not make clear is that
both machines need to be operating with Mac
OS X or higher, the old machine needs to
be running and the firewire must be plugged
into the new machine before it is started
for the first time. With all of that in line,
the rest is a piece of cake. Just sit back
and wait for it to finish. Your new Mac will
look and be organized just like your old
Mac, except shinier of course.
Some great features we've already noticed
include:
• Bookmarks are saved from your old
web browser settings
• All email preferences and messages are
still available in Mac OS X Mail program.
• Many applications are available without
reinstalling.
• Network settings are unaffected.
• All Files and Documents are still in the
same organization that you had before.
• Applications in the Dock are preserved
in place.
• ...much more
 If you are purchasing or upgrading your
mac, don't hesitate to use this great new
feature.
p.s. If you forget to plug in your old mac
by firewire and have already gone through
the installation, no problem. Just open up
your Applications | Utilities folder and
double-click on your Setup Assistant. This
will restart the setup process and allow
you to transfer your files.
