[QUOTE="chscag, post: 857128, member: 46727"] No. The reason you don't want to completely restore the Time Machine backup you made of your iMac G5 to your new iMac as one process is the different hardware involved. You'll need to do a selective restore of whatever data you backed up from the G5 internal HDD to the new iMac HDD. The external drive iTunes folder and music can be copied to the new iMac HDD using the standard procedure for moving your iTunes library. Be sure to read the following Apple KB article on how to move your iTunes folder\Library. [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449"]Link[/URL] Regards. [/QUOTE]
