Yes. You can use Migration Assistant, built into the Mac OS, to migrate files, user accounts, etc., from a PC to a Mac.


"If you didn’t transfer your information to your Mac when you first set it up, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer your information at any time. For example, using Migration Assistant, you can transfer your user account—including all your pictures, music, and files—from a PC to your Mac."


Hope this helps,

You need to use your PC itself, if you can (and still have it) to use Migration Assistant - not a backup disk. You can, of course, just drag stuff from your BU disk (.zip files, mp3, .doc, etc) to your new Mac but the best thing to do is to have both your Mac and your PC on the same network and use MA to transfer from your PC to your Mac (or vice-versa, there's a Migration Assitant for Windows as well).


Then you can go back to your hard drive and copy files to your Mac if you wish.


Let me know if this doesn't make any sense... I'm running low on coffee tonight...
