Can someone remind me if it is a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable you use to transfer files from one Mac to another by way of using one as an external drive. Also, I want to transfer my bookmarks from Safari on my laptop to my eMac. How do I do that? Thanks for any help.;D

Looks like you didn't need reminding after all as you are 100% correct on that one!

You can also import a Safari bookmarks.plist file if you’ve saved one from an older Mac.

To import or export bookmarks:

■ To import bookmarks, choose File > Import Bookmarks, and then double-click the file that contains the bookmarks you want to import. Normally the file will have “.html” or “.plist” at the end of its name.​

If you don’t have a file to import, or can’t find the file, you may need to export the bookmarks from the other browser.

Exporting bookmarks from another browser

■ To export bookmarks, choose File > Export Bookmarks, and specify a location for the exported file. The file’s name will be “Safari bookmarks.html.” Most browsers are able to import this type of file.​
