Folks,
I need some instruction or general direction on what I should be researching for or doing. I've purchased a late 2012 mac mini, and would like to do the following:
1) I currently have a 2012 rMPB and it's being used as my day-to-day, but also as the hub for my media serving via iTunes/aTV/etc. I have a few usb 3.0 drives connected to it, but I now want to shift all of this to the mini. Is it as simple as setting up iTunes in the mini with my existing ID and then re-directing where it will look for the media (i.e. the usb drives attached)? Should I somehow disconnect iTunes from the rMPB or will they both run simultaneously???
2) I have a spare Samsung Pro SSD that I will be swapping into the mini. I would like to mirror the programs and set-up that my current rMBP has...is this possible? Or do I have to get seperate licenses for MakeMKV, Microsoft Office, Subler, etc.? I've read about people using cloning software, but not sure if this is applicable here. Not to mention, I'm not sure if I have to first mirror the mini's internal HDD into the Samsung first?
Any help is welcome...Thank you!
