Hi (first post please don't crucify me)
Writing this on behalf of a friend that has just bought an iMac (I don't have one but wish I did). She is having issues with transferring her files from her old G4 to the new iMac. There are both work and applications that she would like to transfer to the new machine.
She wishes to use the migration assistant. Now she would like to transfer the files over the firewire ports but the firewire port on the back of the iMac is different from the one on the G4 thus meaning that connecting cables can be a problem. Is there a special cable or adaptor that can be bought in order to transfer the files or is there an even easier way for the transfer of applications and files to take place?
There is probably a very easy way to do this, if anyone could give some advice or a link to how to do this we'd be very appreciative.
Thanks!
