[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1614324, member: 110816"] Unless I'm mistaken, Time Machine functionality came in around OS X 10.5 Leopard which also was the last version of OS X that worked on a PowerPC based Mac, so your G5 should be able to be upgraded to that unless it doesn't have the right hardware specs to support Leopard. And, of course, finding a copy of Leopard is a different (and expensive) story.. While Migration Assistant is a convenient feature to transfer data from one Mac to another, in your case I wonder if it might be easier for you to identify the set of folders/files that are needed on the G5 and then copy to them the newer iMac through USB flash drive or something.. I haven't used Migration Assistant or moved data around Macs, so I'm not expert when it comes to this.. [/QUOTE]
