I'd be really grateful if someone out there can throw any light on what might be happening at this end. I am just upgrading from my old G4 to a G5 iMac. With information to transfer I thought this would be easy to do automatically with the Set-up assistant. Instructions say to restart holding down the 'T' key until the firewire icon appears (after making sure I had the correct firewire cable connecting).
However, nothing happens at this point. I read a firmware upgrade might be needed but this turned out not to be the case.
The old G4 400 (PCI Graphics) originally had a 10Gb hard drive. I had 40Gb hard drive put in to replace it. There are two icons on my desktop but the old 10Gb one is only used as a cache for Photoshop (I don't know if this is at all relevant).
So I'm currently facing the daunting prospect of trying to manually move all my applications/files etc and am hoping that someone out there may have managed to work this problem out/has the answer. Apple technical support didn't come up with a solution. Any ideas folks?
