Hi, all.
I'm planning on replacing my aging iBook G3 in the next couple of weeks, and I'm starting to think about how I'm going to manage the transition to my shiny new iBook when I finally buy it.
I understand that I can shift my documents, pictures and music folders over simply by copying them into my home folder on the new machine, but what about things like Safari bookmarks, address book, etc? Would this all be taken care of if I were to also copy over the library folder to the new machine, or could that potentially cause problems (bearing in mind that the old machine is running X.2 and the new one will be running X.4)?
With regard to the process of copying files between the two machines, I'm guessing that Airport would be the quickest and easiest way to achieve this. If I have the two machines switched on and within range of each other, will I be able to easily copy files between them, or is there some sort of configuration required in order to do this?
Any comments, suggestions or experiences would be much appreciated.
