| External Hard Drive to Leopard Migration
After having Mac OS X Tiger ver. 10.4 (came with my computer), I just installed Leopard on my Macbook Pro. Before I installed Leopard, I cloned my computer's hard drive onto an external hard drive so that it's bootable (I tested this). After that I formatted two folders on my computer's hard drive named Mac OS Extended and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) so that I could do a clean install. Then, I restarted my computer, inserted the Leopard install CD, and installed Leopard. Now, how do I migrate, or install, my old programs from my bootable, cloned hard drive (Mac OS X Tiger) onto Leopard? Can I just drag programs over from my external hard drive onto Leopard? I at least want to install my Adobe programs on Leopard. Thank you!  |

In the /Applications/Utilities folder there is a program called Migration Assistant. Just start that up and follow the instructions which are quite easy and straight forward. The Apple site also has some information here –> http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25773

Thanks Frida! I was able to use Migration Assistant and it worked fine for most of my programs (especially Adobe). Thanks for the tip. Yet, now my web browsers won't connect to the internet! I've got Apple Care so I'm going to give Apple a call tomorrow. I want to get my web browsers working and do other complicated stuff like install Windows XP through Boot Camp. |
