Transferring Files From Another Mac?
If you already have a Mac, the Setup Assistant can help automatically transfer user
accounts, network settings, applications, and more from your previous Mac to your
new Mac.
To transfer information, you must have the following:
 A standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable.
 Your other Mac must have Mac OS X v10.1 or later installed.
 Your other Mac must have a built-in FireWire port and support
FireWire Target Disk Mode.
To transfer information from your previous Mac to your new Mac:
m Simply turn on your new Mac and follow the onscreen instructions. The Setup Assistant
takes you through the process of transferring your information.
Transferring information to your new Mac does not affect the information on your
other Mac. (If you have set up partitions on the new Mac, all information from the other
Mac will be transferred to one partition.)
Using the Setup Assistant, you can transfer:
 User accounts, including preferences and email
 Internet and network settings, so your new Mac is automatically set up to work with
the same settings as your other Mac
 Applications so that all of the applications you used on your other Mac are
now on your new Mac. (You may have to reinstall some of the applications you
transfer.)
 Files and folders on your hard disk and partitions. This gives you easy access to the
files and folders you used on your old Mac.
