[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1614366, member: 56379"] Raz0rEdge has it right. OS 10.5 was the first Mac OS version to include Time Machine. So if this iMac G5 has OS 10.4.11 installed on it…then it doesn't have Time Machine. Also OS 10.4.11 is not the newest OS an iMac G5 can run. All iMac G5's can run OS 10.5.8. Migration Assistant is what you want to use (due to running an old OS like 10.4.11)…it's your automated Apple option. One thing you need to be VERY VERY aware of. Pretty much none of your applications are going to work on a newer iMac running OS 10.10 Yosemite. You can transfer your other files (photos, music, MS Office files, videos, etc.)…but your apps. from an G5 iMac running OS 10.4.11 are almost guaranteed not to run. - Nick [/QUOTE]
