Hi Donal
It's not the best way of doing this job, but with Migration assistant, you can
actually check boxes for which types of files you want to move. But what I
would suggest you do is, if possible, just move/copy the files on block to an
external disk then copy them back over that way. If
I ended up more or less doing that Gordon, except I used a NAS. Did the job I
was writing to the list only in case there was a method I didn't know of.

I believe there's target mode but since I've never used a mac in target mode I
don't know how it works. I think you attach a firewire cable to both macs and
boot throne you want to move your folder from by holding down the t key. After
that I don't know what to do. Hopefully this is a push in
Hi Sarah,
Unfortunately the Air doesn't have a firewire port. You're right though Target
mode would be an option if they did have those ports.

Ah cool. I'm remembering the manuals I've read. Hmm. I wonder if there is a way
to do it via air drop or Bonjour. I've never used either but good luck.

I think I recall there is a way to set up a Mac so that it is a slave to
another Mac, possibly in Recovery Partition.
However as an alternative an obvious response, and probably a stupid
suggestion because it is obvious , it occurs to me why don't you just use an
external USB hard drive to act as
Hi David,
No you're right, absolutely right in fact, but alas I don't have my USB disk
with me and I *need* to move this stuff.
The mbp is going in for a battery service tomorrow and I've no intention of
leaving 100 gig of audio on there just in case it gets, shall we say,
borrowed.

Hi Dónal,
Can't you just ftp or sftp from one machine to the other if they're both on
either a wireless or wired network? Do you have the USB ethernet connector for
the MacBook Air? Of course, with 98 GB, that might take a while. Also,
AirDrop is supposed to work as a way to share files
Hi Esther,
In the end I just uploaded to a NAS and am now downloading again. Slower but
it gets the job done.
Cheers, must investigate Airdrop.
