[QUOTE="6string, post: 981412, member: 120039"] Apps that have installers such as word, etc, and apps that require install discs like ilife and iwork. Other than that, it is trial and error when it comes to generalizing with just moving from extrenal to internal drive. Apple apps are not just drag and drop, whereas 3rd party apps that are just quick drag and drop into application folder after download, are just that. If you try to drag and drop iphoto/imovie, you will encountered problems when trying to open messages, and the .plist messages, etc..... until you find all the files required scattered all over the drive, this is why you are best off after your clean install, installing ilife from the disc. The library and movies though, you will have no problem dragging and dropping after you reinstall ilife from the disc. [/QUOTE]
