I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.8.4 and would like to migrate files on my old PowerMac G4, OS 10.4.6. I have never done this before and would like help on transferring files from my Power Mac to my MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4), desktop is a PowerMac G4, OS 10.4.6
1. You need to connect the two computers in some way. This could be a physical connection, e,g, with an ethernet cable, or wireless. (Be warned, the latter will be slow.)
2. Enable file sharing on both computers.
3. Use Migration Assistant. Details here:
Eustace,
Migration Assistant does not work 100% in these situations and can really slow down your machine.
These directions work better.
a brody,
Thanks.
Please note a brody's post. You are better off with his directions.
