I've never used the Migration Assistant to go from a new computer to a former computer, but I think the process would need OS-X install disk running on the eMac to reformat it and get it ready to receive the files from the iBook. The iBook install disks may not run on the eMac since Apple usually sends startup configurations that work only on the machine they were created for. However, if you have the general, all-purpose OS-X disks, then run those on the eMac and follow the directions from then on. At least I think so. Someone else may have a better answer, but judging from how quiet this list has been lately, we may be the only two left.

Migration Assistant is a very handy app for its purpose but it was not designed as a backup app. I think you would be better off to look at SuperDuper which is presently the backup app of choice for a lot of Mac users: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html and then come back with any questions. Tell us the sizes of the drives in the eMac and the iBook.

Obviously people read the original post because just look at how many have jumped into this discussion on how to format. The reason there were no suggestions? No one had any suggestions or whomever had a suggestion decided not to post.

The Internet is easily a source of information overload. We don't have the time or interest to read everything that is available to be read. If something catches our eye as interesting, or about something we already know something about, we are more likely to take the time to read it. A post titled 'Can someone help' is only going to attract those knights in shining white armor wanting to be there for everyone else in need but probably lacking in expertise as to the particular problem at hand. If the subject were instead 'I can't get my mail from my ISP', this might well attract the attention of someone who has recently gone through the issue and solved the problem as well as being willing to share their pain and joy at the answer. It might also be noted by the local mail expert. It is always the original posters choice as to how to title the subject. Post something specific, or cry for help. I know which one is more productive. Do you? At 12:26 PM -0400, 5/24/07, Steve R wrote: >At 9:13 AM -0700 5/24/07, Robert Ameeti posted: >> I don't think snobbery is the issue here.

Yep. I am subscribed to a number of mailing lists, and get a rather large amount of email each day (don't get me started on the amount of spam I get!), so it is unlikely that I would open one without a specific query in the subject heading. I have spent a number of years as network and system admin for ISPs, so had the header read something that referred to that I'dve been inclined to open it. Not a criticism or a snub, just the way it is.

I posted the request and thought the subject line silly later on...and then the sky opened up and the remarks started and I just sat back and read them. Incidentally, the problem still exists...ie, I'm still having all my mail forwarded from Cox, Suddenlink to .mac and seem to be getting all of it that way. Don't understand, but if it works, it works. I did appreciate the helpful suggestion I DID get and also appreciate the education about subject lines.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: The "problem" may actually have led you to a good place. I also have two email addresses, one for business and one personal. But instead of having to go to two places to get my mail, I have my business email "mirrored" into my personal email inbox, meaning I only have to go to one place to check email. A lot simpler, and it works well for me. I just have to remember to go to the business site occasionally and empty out the original emails to keep it from overloading.
