Hello folks,
As a lifetime Windows PC user (well, since 1995 anyway) I've decided to make the switch to a new 27" iMac which should arrive in the next couple of days. The nearest Apple Store is over 90 minutes away in Toronto so I had to go the online shipping route.
I'm excited about this change but the extent of my use of Apple products is limited to an iPhone 4 and an iPod Touch so far.
I suppose my biggest fear at this point is trying to figure out how to transfer my iTunes Library over to the Mac so I can sync my iPhone and Touch there from now on. I've been trying to Google some instructions but they've been a bit confusing and have had some differing instructions.
Migrating my contacts, mail and documents will be another challenge. I have some of them backed up on an external HD I used with my PC but I don't know if the Mac will be able to read the HD.
There's so much to learn and judging by what I've been reading here on this wonderful forum, there are many things that I'll have to retrain myself on. Many of them just simple things.
I may need to pick your brains from time to time as I get a grasp of the Mac way of life.
Thanks,
Bundy
