[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1937148, member: 396914"] Do you mean she has a Time Capsule? Or is the TM drive directly attached to the Airport? There is a difference. Maybe, maybe not. Airport is a router, and adheres to network standards, which have not change. The "bit" issue doesn't apply, either, AFAIK. The network standards are bit-agnostic. Bottom line, what Bob suggested is the best way to make the transfer. Note, however, that any third party software should be reinstalled to get the version otimized for the new Mx chipset. The older Intel versions *should* run under Rosetta2, but it would be better to have native ARM version. So, before making the purchase and the migration, check to see if the vendors have updated their software for the new hardware. [/QUOTE]
