JonMack Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 (edited) There are quite a few Tom, I used to use a good one but can't remember what it's called. I'll check LifeHacker see what I can conjure up.These are quite good. http://lifehacker.com/software/step-by-ste...rive-300384.phphttp://lifehacker.com/software/backup/geek...ckup-248943.phpI used to have to do mine over a network so used to use something different, but those should help. Check the comments too, theres usually useful suggestions there. Edited January 12, 2008 by JonMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 OS X has all the printer drivers built in you know? Unless you want the software for the printer (I don't both with that, it works fine). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Right;I am fed up with not having any space on my hdd all the time. I've ordered a new samsung spinpoint 250gb hdd for my macbook, and a usb2 case for the one i have on now so i can use it as an external.What i want to do is, copy EVERYTHING i have on this hdd to the new one when it comes. I want to keep my settings, all my files, apps and most importantly all my shiz in itunes (music and play counts and playlists, album art, etc). How and with what methods and software do i do this?(old hdd is 60 and new 250gb so no space problems.)jonmac? tomm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

future orange 660 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 just wondering..why are apple so keen to launch a high number of products in a short space of time? new imac. new ipods. iphone. leopard. macbook airanyone know why they are doing it so quickly?usually people hold releases according to markets eg gaming, but apple seem to be churning out loads of stuff. admittedly new products sometimes. more and more mac users though.. but have the percentages changed from pc to mac much? or is the increased shared with pc?not that i know. maybe some people do.

Janson Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 jon sorted me out over msn. legend.ROLL ON more than 2gb free hdd space. ROLL ON leopard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nc7r Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 new imac. new ipods. iphone. leopard. macbook airanyone know why they are doing it so quickly?Firstly 'cos Apple are a business. They want new revenue streams all the time. Secondly, technology moves at a stupidly fast rate meaning new product updates for speed bumps and such should be done every few weeks if possible.Glad Jon sorted it. Make sure you do an 'Archive and Install' rather than an update for your computer up to Leopard.More info here. We've been having tonnes of problems with just drop-in disk updates to Leopard, including my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 now i'm confused. i will be doing my swap according to this:1. put new hdd in USB chassi2. mount leopard dvd3. install leopard on the external4. at the end of the installation (apparently) it will ask if i wanna copy stuff from another hdd or mac (is this true on leopard?)5. i will choose to copy all my data from my internal drive to the new one6. i will fit the new hdd in the macbook and put the old one in the USB chassiswhere does the 'archive and install' thing come in play?
