[QUOTE="RavingMac, post: 1311777, member: 45350"] This is definitely not my area of expertise (old Macs) and given that you by your own admission are not technically savy, your best bet may be to take it and your new iMac (or older G5) to your local Apple store and let them do the transfer for you. It appears that you should have an ethernet adapter on your old 9500, so I am betting the Apple Store geniuses can link the two with an ethernet cable and make the transfer. If not, surely they can come up with something else. EDIT: to answer your question on CAT 5 cable, CAT 5 is just cable, it has to be hooked to matching adapters (in this case probably Ethernet). But, why bother, just buy an ethernet cable if you don't already have one. [/QUOTE]
