My new iMac arrived yesterday and now I'm charged with the task of transferring data from our old Macbook (mid 2007 13") and our external hard drive.
A couple of questions on this:
1) I know there's the migration assistant but can you establish a "hard" connection between the Macbook and iMac via the USB ports?
2) Our external hard drive is a Firewire 400 connection, does it make more sense to get a Firewire 400 to 800 adapter then link it to a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt? Or go with a Firewire 400 to 800 cable and then the Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt adapater?
