Transfer your data from PC to Mac
(May 09, 2005)
Step 7 Install Move2Mac on the Mac
Don't connect the USB cable to your PC or Mac until prompted to do so on the Mac. Insert the CD into the Mac's drive and when the Move2Mac icon appears on the desktop (you'll find things are a little more intuitive on the Mac), click it and open the Mac Install Files folder. Double-clicking Move2Mac.pkg launches the setup wizard. Enter your username and password when prompted.
Once you see the 'Set up: connect the data transfer cable' dialogue box, it's safe to run the cable between the two machines. The next screen, 'Migration: transferring and integrating your profile', indicates the transfer process has begun. The transfer will take a while, depending on how much data you're moving, so take a nice, long lunch -- the kind that includes a decent bottle of wine and a rich, choccy pudding.
When you return, tipsy but satiated, the migration should be complete. Click Next to display the 'Migration: you are finished' dialogue box. Move2Mac places a summary of the migration report on the desktop, but you can print it right away by clicking the Summary button. When the report is finished, close the window and click Finish.
Tip
The manual says you may be prompted for your username and password throughout the transfer. This could put the kibosh on your long liquid lunch. We took a chance and the transfer completed without requesting this information.
