[X4U] Snow Lep to Mavericks? iTunes and iPhoto

[Jesse D. Leo]

Hi guys


So our old Macbook Pro (2009?) is finally on its last legs. Multiple 
hardware issues make me think it's not gonna be worth saving. The good 
news is that the hard drive is still in working condition, and I have 
recent Time Machine backups.

If we get a new Mac I assume it will be running Mavericks. So this is 
kind of a noob question, but what would be the best way to get the 
iPhoto and iTunes libraries moved over? Our entire lives are in there.

iCloud is the first thing that comes to mind, and for relatively recent 
music purchases that will do the job. But we have a TON of older stuff 
that has not been iclouded. And then there are the photos and movies...

Time Machine restore? Would that even work, given how old Snow Leopard 
is (I assume Mavericks has newer versions of both programs)?

Any suggestions you guys have would be great.

Thanks,

Jesse
