.. and another question:
It looks like the new Mac, upon initial boot up, will present me with a screen:
Obviously if I want to transfer information to my new mac from my TM backup, then I choose the "From a Time Machine backup" option. However, if I were to want to transfer information to my new mac from my SD clone, would I choose "From another Mac" (with SD cloned drive attached to new machine via FireWire), or a different option? Thanks Chris [edit: Actually I found the answer to this question here: http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/SetupAsst.html - to use the SD cloned drive I would select the "From another volume on this Mac" option. So only the original question is still outstanding, though I now realize the original question could be extended even further - why use an external drive (SD or TM) at all when I can hook up the new machine directly to the old machine. ] Last edited by ramblinwreck001; 06-24-2011 at 01:22 AM. |
