I'm planning on buying a new iMac soon. I will want to transfer my data from my old 1.33 GHz G4 ibook to my new iMac via an ethernet cable. Will I need a crossover cable or will a regular ethernet cable work??
The reason why I ask this is because I looked on apple's page where they list which macs require a crossover cable, and the ibook is listed as both requiring a crossover cable and not requiring one.
The first list says that ibooks (with dual USB and later) don't require a crossover cable. But then the second list says that the "ibook" and the "firewire ibook" do require a crossover cable.
My ibook has 2 USB ports and a firewire port, so which list is right? See the picture I included...
