Itunes from old mac

[kinc]

How do I transfer my itunes from my old G3 to my imac G5?
I have a firewire cable and I know you can do it with firewire, but I don't know how.
I thought that g5 would import it automatically. It didn't.

Plug both Mac through the Firewire cable start the g3 holding T key you should see it's HD appearing on your g5 desktop move/copy the iTTunes files to the G5

Enjoy your music on your G5

Firewire networking is also a great way to play games and what not. You can set up Firewire networking in the Network Preferences under Network Port Configurations. If I need to move a lot of stuff fast I use Firewire.

If any of your tunes were purchased from the iTunes store, make sure you "deauthorize" your old computer before discarding. This will keep your old computer from being counted against your total computers allowed to play the music.
