As some may have noticed I've decided to defer some of the cost of the purchase of my new PC by selling my 2008 24" iMac.
How to Prepare a Used Mac for Sale — Apple News, Tips and Reviews
That's the best link I have found (I think) for preparing an iMac for sale. But it talks a lot about back up, which I'm sure most people want to do. I have 28 gb of music in iTunes, I definitely want that backed up.
Well, like so many others now I use a cloud to do this, I use Amazon. I paid an extra $20.00 for 50 gb more but I guess when Google made their cloud free Amazon said whoops, and shot me a refund. On my Android phone my playlists and all my music show backed up by Amazon. So that's one issue solved.
Documents? Well I think that Office 10 does convert .ODT files now. I have no idea how a PC moves stuff around but what I intend to do is use Drop Box and Google Documents for back up of my documents. I also use Gmail, not iMail.
My only question I have is what happens when I restore the OS? Will it be OS Lion? Because if that's the case I'd love to toss in a copy of VMware and a Vista Disk as well. But if it restores back to Leopard I think that will be 32 bit and VMware may not be compatible.
Anybody know? Thanks for your help in advance. Mods if I'm in the wrong area, well, you know what to do. That didn't sound right. Please move it.
