Data transfer from PowerPC to Intel Chip iMac
Thursday, July 28, 2011 / How To, Intel Macs, PowerMac
I am thinking of getting a new iMac. Can I do the data ‘Mind-meld’ from my aluminum G4 PowerPC to an Intel chip iMac?

Yes, you can do a Migration Assistant move from a PowerPC based Mac to an Intel Mac. Just make sure you have, or buy a firewire cable to connect the two Macs. Most times, it will take a Firewire 400 to Firewire 800 adapter cable. The Belkin Firewire Cable is a good one.
