Hey all,
I'm upgrading from a Lombard G3 Powerbook to a mini running Tiger. I'm getting ready to get all my documents and whatnot switched over. Is there an easy way to transfer my iTunes and iPhoto libraries? I considered using one of those applications that just cloned everything over, but really want a fresher start than that. So I'm just copying from one over to the other via network.

If I just reimport my iPhoto library, will I keep my keywords? And if I just reimport my iTunes library, will I keep my ratings and album covers and whatnot? Thanks for any help you can give me!

Just copy ~/Music/iTunes and ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library to your new machine.

If you have FireWire, Apple's System Migration will do it for you. Easy as pie.
