I'm the proud new owner of a 27" iMac, 3.4 GHz Quad Core i7 with 4 GB of memory, system 10.6.7. I'm upgrading and trying to migrate from my 10 year old G4 PPC running 10.4.11. Running Migration assistant on the iMac I clicked the radio button for "From another Mac", then on the next screen clicked the "Use Network" button.
The next screen starts "On your other Mac, do the following:
• Open Software Update to make sure your computer has the latest version of Mac OS X installed." Obviously if I'm running 10.4.11, it's not the latest version, but there were 3 updates that I downloaded and installed.
"• Open Migration Assistant and select "To another Mac" on the Select Migration Method" pane." There is no such choice.
Is migration not available from 10.4.11 to 10.6.7 over the network, or at all?
Also, the iMac is looking for other computers and doesn't appear to find any on the network yet "acer(c)" and "admin" show up on my iMac desktop. The admin appearing when I click on G4 in the servers window.
Can I buy a firewire cable and use target disk mode with migration assistant?
Any other options?
=====================
Next question: Is there a way to find out if the current versions of software I'm running on 10.4.11 will run on 10.6.7?
Thanks!
