Like some of you may already know via my previous postings, I'll be moving to Australia for the year 2005. In preparation for this trip, I've purchased a new 12 powerbook (sure wish the new ones would've come out). Now I would like to take the contents of my work computer & my home computer and put them on my new powerbook. I don't want everything from both of my old computers. Just some of the stuff.

What would be the best way to do this? I'd like to be able to pick and choose the applications that I want tranfered, as well as the documents. I definitely want my iPhoto & iTunes libraries tranferred.

Thanks,

lw

Use “target disk mode” to transfer what you want between firewire ports.
Shut down your powerbook.
Use a firewire cable with a standard six pin connector on each end to connect your computer to another firewire-equipped computer.
Start up your powerbook and immediately hold down the t key.
Your powerbook display shows the firewire disk mode indicator, and the powerbook internal hard disk icon appears on the desktop of the other computer.
From this point, just drag and drop anything you want into the powerbook.
When you are finished transferring files, drag the powerbook hard disk icon to the trash to unmount the drive.
Shut down the powerbook before disconnecting the firewire cable.
