Afternoon all. The mother in law is going to order a new iMac today, now that Lion is out. She currently has an old, white, 17" iMac.
Now I know transferring her account over is as simple as running the migration assistant with the old machine in Target disk mode, but what cable would be required? The new iMac has a FW 800 port on it, but the old one only has a FW 400 port. I know Apple sells a 800 - 400 converter (#1) but would you use a standard FW 400 cable from the old iMac, into this converter and then into the new iMac? I need to make sure she orders the correct cabling as she is in the States and I will be talking her through this over the phone.
