Q: Manual Migration from Tiger Questions
I've got a new MBP coming in a couple of days. My current iBook is running 10.4.11. I plan to make migration as simple as possible--i.e., I plan to not use Migration Assistant and basically install most apps anew so as not to run into so many of the migration issues people run into. But, there are a few things I need to move from my old computer: I'd like to copy my Safari folder from ~/Library/Safari, as well as ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari. Then, there's Mail: same idea there. And then for iTunes, I plan to simply replace the iTunes folder on the new computer with the one from my old one. I figure that when I start up iTunes, it will recognize the music in there? Or do I need to "import" all the music into the new iTunes? I plan to use the same login info on the new computer as on my current one so as not to run into permissions issues.
Given these actions, am I going to run into any problems moving these things from 10.4 to 10.5?
