[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 9041, member: 184"] I would just reload all your applications from the CD or redownload them, but if not, then just copy the application folder over and if you want your preferences copy /~(Home)/Library/Preferences. Some apps might not like this and might install other dependencies, which I would then just redownload and reinstall. I like doing this anyways because it kind of "cleans up" the system :) Entourage you can usually just copy over /~(Home)/Documents/Microsoft User Data and remember to copy across the preferences like I outlined in the first question. Copy over /~(Home)/Music and that should take care of it.. although I am pretty sure you can define within iTunes where to save everything.. so check with iTunes and find out.. I think default is where I specifed though. And you'll probably need to just set your iPod to sync with whatever playlist in the new machine, just like you did with your current one.. it shouldnt be a problem at all. You'll probably have to reimport all your songs though which again shouldnt be a problem. If you are talking about iCal and the Address program then. Address stuff is found in /~(Home)/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and iCal is found in /~(Home)/Library/Application Support/Calendars/ Screen savers are found in a couple of places. You can find them here: /~(Home)/Library/Screen Savers/ or here: /Library/Screen Savers/ Im not sure which drivers you are talking about, but most drivers just come preinstalled with OS X so you dont' need to worry about them.. If you actually did install some drivers then you should just reinstall them on the new system. Hopefully these answered most of your questions :) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
