Hello,
(Sorry - not sure if this post should be here or in "other hardware" - it's about iMacs, but also about data cables... Please forgive me if I've got it wrong)
So, I have an old PowerPC G4 iMac which is no longer connected to the internet (this is at work) and I need to transfer data (music, photos and movie files mainly) over to my new Intel Core i5 iMac (27 inch, so lovely!).
My old backup files won't transfer because the programme only works on PowerPC (who knew?!)
My old Firewire cable doesn't fit into the new machine.
What can I do? USB? Ethernet Cable?
Thanks in advance for your help!
EDIT: should also say that the old PowerPC is not in great shape - runs slow incrementally and freezes eventually until switched off.
