Hello, I am in the process of switching to an iMAC intel and have been getting all my documents ready (organized) for the transfer. As I have many movie files larger that 2gig that rules out FAT32, as the MAC can read NTFS but not write to it i was planning on transferring all of my files over to a folder on the Mac HD, re-formatting the USB 2.0 drive under Mac OS and then moving them back. I will be using Move-2-Mac to transfer most of my documents and stuff as well as all my mail settings from Outlook, but as it is slow (15 min for 500Meg) I want to avoid moving all of my large files that way, it would take 7 hours. Can I use the import feature in Itunes and iMovie to import my music and movies as well? As I am getting a 500gig drive on the Mac there should be plenty of room. Anyone see any problem with this plan, or am I dreaming.
