[QUOTE="chscag, post: 652391, member: 46727"] As long as you have everything backed up with Time Machine (preferably on an external HDD) you should have no problem restoring to the new machine. I'm assuming here you plan on just restoring data, documents, email, movies, music, your installed programs, etc. Obviously, since the new machine will be running Leopard you would not necessarily want to overwrite everything. BTW, Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper both do an excellent job of cloning an old drive and then copying the data to the new one. Both programs will not overwrite any newer files\folders on the new drive and will only copy files\folders to the new drive that don't exist on it. CCC is free (donation ware), SuperDuper is not. Regards. [/QUOTE]
